tee today decided TO throw out the
10,000-metre race, held yesterday,

ulated Irving Jaffec Of New York as
the 10,000-metre speed skating cham
pion, saying that they considered
him the winner of the event.
The executive committee also an

Olympic winter sports program IN

weather permitting. The weather j.
very poor for skating, the tempera-
ture being S degrees above freezing
point and the skating rink is like
a lake.

gion, backed by financial and moral
support from the major leagues
Recognizing the need for more
talent on the baseball diamond and
certain that some of the best talent
among American youths is never
found, the American and National
leagues have voted to aoarantee
$4,000 toward developing the Ameri-
can Legion's plan to bring 100000
American youths into baseball COM
gional and national tournaments.
Under the Legion's plan, the Unit
ed States will be divided into an
eastern and western division. Each
of these major divisions will be d.
vided into ten smaller ones with
several states in each group. The
state champions will meet in elimi-
nation games at regional tourna-

jor division will meet annually for
the national championship in a "lit-

Southwark Flight of
Stars Marks Birth of
New Interest in Ma
tional Pastirne

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-lP)-The
baseball birds are fitting southwark.
Intimate details of their progress al
ready are being dispatched by ener-
getic correspondents. The holdouts
who were so adamant a few weeks
ago are falling into line. The mag
mates talk Of booming the amateur
game for boys throughout the coun-
try. Through it all is the delightful
air Of anticipation and preparation
always associated with the coming of
another baseball campaign and, the
magnates hope, bigger and better
gates.
There will be no little concern
in the news that comes back from
the training camps scattered from
Florida TO California about the per-
spring or aspiring athletes, depend
ing on their age, ability or previous
condition or servitude.
Home Towns Interested
Gotham fans will want to know
whether the Jewish hope of the
Giants, Andy Cohen, will fit into the
somewhat ample niche vacated by
Rogers Hornsby or whether Frank
O'Doul. the rejuvenated veteran from
San Francisco, swings a mean
enough club TO break into the regu-
lar outfield Gordon.
Likewise it will be of interest to
Boston whether Hornsby puts his
expected new dash and punch into
the Braves or whether his converse
tion is as disconcerting TO the new
club manager, Jack Slattery, as ii
seems TO have been 10 John McGraw.
How the st. Louis Browns will as
sort their new talent in the rebuild
ing process, what the Senators will
do with two such first basemen as
Sisler and Judge around, how Iris
Speaker will fit into Connie Mack's
machine, whether Sparkey Adams
fills the long-felt Pirate need for a
second baseman and how Xxi Cuyler
fares under Chicago Cub leadership
are only a few of the salient features
of the spring training program.
Yanks Sign Nick Moore
Since the Pittsburgh Pirates OBJ
tanned Lloyd Waner at bargain rates
chiefly on Brother Paul's recommen-

been scanning the family connec-
tions Of other stars.
This research seems TO have led
to the Yankees signing Nick Moore,
on the advice of his older brother
Wiley, whose good right arm had as
much TO do with the Hugmen's vic
tory last year as n other factor.
Nick is also a r~ight-handed pitch
er. He has been working in semi-pro

Waco Gridders
May Play Here
In 1928 Season

Tentative plans for bringing Paul
Tyson's Waco high school football
team, winners Of the national title
in 1927, to the Valley for a game
with Valley teams next year, were
announced here Monday afternoon by
Walter v. Fort, Waco business man
and member Of the athletic commit
tee there.
Mr.. Fort is in the Valley, resting
and re%cuperating from the after ef-
fects Of a recent automobile accident.
While here he conceived the idea of
a game between the Tigers and a
composite Valley team.
Such an attraction, he believes,
would draw 10000 persons from the
Valley and the vicinity Of Waco. 1t
could be played, he stated, either
some time during the football season
or as a post-season game, probably
New Years day. The Waco team,
he believes, would be willing 70
turn down invitations from Califor-
MIA, Michigan, New York, Ohio and
many other points, to come to the
Valley.
Mr.. Fort outlined his plan to
Thomas j. Yoe, school s%uperinten-
dent, and other officials, Tuesday,
and all expressed interest in the
plan.
II is in his~mind to bring down
the entire W. squad. Of 40 men.
and alternate the different visiting
teams against at least four teams
from as many Valley towns.
He has visited most of the cities
mn the Valley Mr. Fort declared
and is convinced that Brownsville is
event. The local athletic field is
as good as that in the city Of Waco,
and sufficient demountable bleach
ers could be borrowed from the col
leges throughout the state to seat
the crowd such a game would draw,
he said.
