BY JACK SORDS

When the curtain rises next spring
for the opening of the 1928 baseball
season, there will not be more than
six players classed as regulars who
have been in the maOeears
or more. They are Max Carey, Grow
er Alexander, Herb Pennock, Eppa
Rixey, Jack Quinn and Wally Schang.
Last year Is players who had been
"up" Is years, cavorted around the
diamond, not all regulars, but IN
there just the same. But from this
number, Cobb, Speaker, Walter John
son and Zack Wheat drop, which
leaves, in addition to the six mention
ed above, Grover Hartley, Ray Schalk,
Roger Peckinpaugh. Eddie Collins and
Stanley ~Covaleskie, who come back
with the Yanks, to answer next sea-
sons roll call.
But Hartley is now a coach with
the Indians. Ray Schalk's playing
days are over. Peckinpaugh, as mana
ger Of the Indians. will not play
much: EA1ie Collins main lob is
to assist Connie Mack handle the
Athletics. and Covaleskie's ability is
questionable. He may not make the
grade.
II shows the old vets are passing
cut gradually and most Of the few
that will be in there next spring will
be playing their last year at least as
a major league regular.

PELTzER, HAHN
WIN IN MEET
German Star Races to
Thrilling Victory
In New York

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.@P-Dr.
Otto Peltzer, German philosopher
and f~oot-racing champion, has to his
credit a sensational victory over
some of Americas foremost middle
distance runners As q result OF his
much discussed indoor debut.
While the doctors most formid-
able American rival, Lloyd Hahn
spent his time coasting TO an easy
victory in the mile run, the German
star last night brought a Madison
Square Garden crowd of 1900 spec
tators to its feet yelling as he raced
to a thrilling triumph in a 1000
yard race over nine American run
ners. The occasion was the annual
meet OF the Millrose A. A.
There was no record-breaking to
the debut of DR.. Peltzer, who holds
the worlds half-mile standard, but
the tall, blond Teuton exhibited a
flashy brand of speed as well as un-
usual gameness in winning under
strange and difficult conditions.
Ray Dodge, member of the 1924
Olympic team and former national
1,000-yard champion, furnished the
chief opposition for Peltzer after
the pack siftSt oIt. These two put
up a stirrip( nip-ano-tuck duel over
the last Tee laps Of the six-lap'
race but ~eltzer had the most in re-
am won by five yards in 2
MINES, Us S-5 seconds. The worlds
record for the distance, 2:l2 4-5, IS
held by Hahn.
Hahn had no difficulty in winning
the Rodman Wanamaker mile for
the second straight year, hanging
up his seventy consecutive triumph
Of the : as he romped home
ahead Of Ray Conger and Joe Sivak
| Of the Illinois A. c. in 4:15 3-5.

FIVE MODELS FOR
 TOMB Of UNKNOWN
jury to kake Decision NarroVs Down Choices

Washington. Nov. 23. LR>-The de- cision of the jury of awards on tn. design for the completion of the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Is being awaited here with much interest. The competi- tion has narrowed down to five models.
 The jury Is conferring regard ing the final selection with tn, American Battle Monuments. Ar lington National Cemetery and Fine Arts commissions and will an nounce it's ultimate decision 10 Secretary of War Davis.
 Most European countries have buried their Unknown Soldier in some national shrine already erect ed, but America has yet to com plete her tribute.
 France, which was the first coun- try to honor the Unknown Soldier. brought her dead from Nerdun /: rest beneath the Arc de Triomphe, England took her hero from th' blood soaked fields of Flanders and laid him in the stately halls Of Westminster Abbey. Italy opened the sepulchre of Victor Emanuel, the highest honor she could accord, for her "Ignoti Militi."
 It was a Frenchman, Maurice Maunoury, commander Of the 2Sth French artillery, who orglnato6 tho idea of memorial to the Un known Dead of the world war. When awarding prizes at the L-cer de Charlemagne he proposed a me morial to the poilu to symboliz' the homage of a grateful country, ] France eagerly caught at the idea. and Joffre, Petain and Foch led tho funeral cortege when the Unknown Poilu came home.
 England followed Frances exam. pie, and when her dead was laid to rest in Westminster King George sprinkled a handful of soil brought from France on the casket of British oak. Two of the Iall bearers were Field Marshal French and General Byng. while the rest were selected from the file of the army and navy. The epitaph fo' the British soldier reads "They buried him among kings becaus" [ he had done good towards God and towards his house."
 Belgium allowed one of her sol diers. blinded in battle, to select the Unknown's body, while four comrades who had lost a right arm and four who had lost a left acted ss pail bearers.
 After a night epent in prayer an Italian gold star mother selected the caskct for Italy's Unknown by placing on 1t a white rose. The body was selected from the un- known dead in little grave yard near the Adriatic sea. The sepul ehre of Victor Emmanuel, which was opened to receive the body. is the finest in Rome.
 It is regarded as fit that the tomb of Americas Unknown Sol dier should be within the shadow of Washington monument in Ar lington, selected by Abraham Lin, coin as national shrine. There pine, cypress and magnolia spread their bencdiction over the muster roll of the Army and Navy in mar ble. and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier when completed will be the crowning touch to the beauty and soiemnity of the place,
