PHILLIPS STRONG FOR NEXT SEASON
Weak Gaps Have All Apparently
 Been Plugged Up in Lineup

Philadelphia. Jan. 2l W-With new and sparkling material, and most of the weak gaps apparently plugged up. the Phillies look toward the 1929 National league pennant race through rose-tinted glasses.
 Not since the championship days of 1915 and 1916 have they boasted such excellent prospects or felt 90 hopeful over an approaching base- ball season.
 New blood has been brought into nearly every position.
 The pitching staff has been strengthened and the Phillies have a great young shortstop in Tommy Thevenow. for whom they are re- ported to have given three players and $50,000 in cash. One of Man. ager Bnrt. Shotten's most recent moves was to cast aside two veter- ans, Jimmy Ring. pitcher, who was given his uncondition release. and John Schulte, who was sold to Co., lumbus of the American Association.
 Don Hurst, who hit IS home runs last season. will be on first base and Fresco Thompson on second with Thevenow at shortstop. Pinkey Whitney, who batted above 300 last year, will be at third to round out a we'll balanced infield. As infield reservists Manager Shotton has Ter ny Lyons. from the sand lots of St. Louis; Friberg and Joe O'Rourke. son of the Phillies chief scout.
 The outfleld will be made up of Lefty O'Doul. obtained from the New York Giants; Denny Southern, a youngster; Homer Peel. from Hous- ton, Texas, and Chuck Klein, with Cy Williams. home run slugger, as the leading reservist.
 Lerian, Davis and Susce will be in charge of the catching department. Susce is youngstcr from the Uni- vcrsity of Pittsburgh.
 Should he be able to obtain an experienced relief pitcher. Manager Shotton said he would not hesitate to predict the Phillies would finish among the leaders.
 The regular staff of Benge, Milli- gan, Ferguson. Baecht. Shetland. McGraw. Ulrich and Willoughby has been augmented by five youngsters. Caldwell. from Waco; Phil Collins from New Dreams and Luther Roy from Birmingham. are considered the most promising of the younger pitchers. Then, there are Walker, a Philadelphia boy. and Derhan. a product of the Virginia league.
 The Phillies will start spring train ing at Winter Haven, Fla. with their best prospects in years.

REICH COUNT IS
 TAKEN FROM RACE
No Explanation Givn Vhn
 Name Is Not on List

London. Jan. 24 R-Reigh Count. regarded as the best of the Ameri- can thrce-year olds last season. has been withdrawn from the Lincoln shire handicap which is to be run in the middle of March. There was no explanation when the name of the colt. nominated by Mrs. John Hertz of Chicago, did not appear on the list ot acceptances.
 Racing critics in the newspapers today said the withdrawal caused m surprise since the horse also had been withdrawn from the Liverpool spring cup and never had been ex- pected to go further than the entry stages of these races.
 It is understood ReiEh Count came over solely to compete for the gold cup at Ascot. It had been thought he was likely to have try out in one of the handicaps to ac- custom him to race course condi- tions before the big event at Ascot.
 Reign Count was given top weight of 128 pounds for the Lincolnshire handicap. This impost also was given to Fohanaun. .s.
 Since the arrival of Reigh Count at H. Leaders racing establishment at Newmarket he has hardly been outside the stable. The colt, how ever. was reputed to be in good con- dition. His trainer. Bert Mitchell. was understood to be waiting 10 choose the right time for the Laily runs on the famous heath to ccen- mence. The Ascot gold cup race will be run June 20.
 John D. Hertz, predicted the withdrawal of Reign Count recently when he said:
 Mitchell (the trainer) Is almost sure to scratch him shortly rather than have any wagers made on him in the future books"
 MT. Hertz added that he did not consider the weight assigned the horse excessive, but that the race came too early to get the horxe ready.
 Reign Counts entry was inter- preted in American racing circles as being merely for the purpose of get ting him a rating.
 Reign Count won the Kentucky Derby, the Lawrence Realization, the Jockey Club gold cup, the Sara toga cup and other races in the United States. Insured for s250, o0O the horse was shipped to England carly in October. Chick Lang, the jockey who has been up in practi- cally of Reign Counts races, will leave for England in the spring to get ready for riding the America i, horse.

ICHRIS7NER MEETS SHARKEY IN BOUT
Boston Cob Confident He Will
 Beat A-Year.0ld 0hioan

New York, Jan. 24 R>-An abun- dance of confidence is float ing around Madison Square Garden these days and around the training quarters where Jack Sharkey of Boston, and K. O. Christner, gradu- ate of the Akron rubber plants, are finishing their preparations for a 10 round clash in the garden tomor- row night. The loquacious gob can see nothing in the scrap but a good warm-up fore his battle with Young Stribling at Miami Beach, while the s5-year-old Ohioan. who sprang into prominence by punching Knute Hansen out of the heavyweight pic ture a couple of months ago. has told the world he expects to tag Sharkey with the same wallop he used on the melancholy Dane. Realizing that he must make a better than ordinary showing tomor- row if the Stribling fight is to meet with any financial success. Sharkey said yesterday he would end the af- fair in short order.
 one punch httters are always dangerous. even to the cleverest ring man," he declared. But have met them before, held my own and carried the fight my way. l am not blind to the fact that Christner can hit. But feel I am good enough i to. beat him and go on past strib- ling and the rest to the title" Christner used fewer words but made them fully as confident My manager, Tiny Herman. has been everywhere in the world but Miami Beach," he said. T plan to take him down there when fight stribling in Sharkey's place."
 sharkey wound up his hard train- ing for the light yesterday with four rounds of boxing and a few exer- cises. ending the workout at 19z pounds. the weight at which he ex- poets to enter the ring. Christner, who fights on the hit or be hit plan. knocked off a day sooner, making nc pretense of polishing up anything but his punch.

NURMI ID RACE
 IN BOSTON MEET
n,rss Aslinst Finnish Sur
 BflndM U Unloundd

New York. Jan. 24 (UP)-The red tape has been unwound from the flying feet Of Paavo Nurmi and the peerless Finnish runner will compete in the two-mile race at the Boston K of C. Saturday night.
 After investigation of the charges that Nurni was influenced 'by men with power in track circles" to switch his entry from the Masonic indoor track and field meet at the l02d Engineers armory here to the Boston games, the registration com- mittee of the metropolitan associa- ton of the Amateur Athletic Union last nig,.t declared the charges to be reckless and unfounded."
 Officials of the Masonic games de- plored tho lack of tact of Jack Har- ris. former secretary of the Masonic games. who made the charges in g letter to Daniel J. Ferris. secretary of the A., A. U. Sunday night. Before yesterdays meeting Harris resigna- tion was demanded and received by Chairman George Kciser of the Ma oVulC 8AIlCN COuAIllktEOs
 Appearing ct the meeting, Nurmi explained through an interpreter his reason for competing in the Boston meet.
 Three days after my arrival in America, letter calling attention to the K. of C. meet at Boston January 26 was sent to me by William F Kenney, president of the New Eng iand A. A. U.," Nurmi said. "He stated the entire proceeds would be devoted to educate the son and daughter of the late William C. Prout. three times president of the A. A. U. MT. Prout w"s held in high esteem by Finnish athletic authori- ties. He had befriended me when here in 1925 and defended me against unjust attack on my amateur standing. l felt obligated to run for such a worthy cause.
 After receiving my registration card from the Y tronclitan associa- ton registration committee. I was i'll for two days, but on Thursday, Jan- nary 10, resume draining and felt was in condition to run. That afternoon signed m entry blank for the Brooklyn college meet last Sat- urday night and the next day, Jan- uary 10, resumed training and felt Boston meet. At no time did I have any intention to compete in the Ma sonic meet and the assertion that the management had my virtual assur- ance is false. One of my friends told the committee I was going to Bos- ton but would be glad to run for the Masons If the date were changed"
 To avoid any further situations similar to the one from which he has just extricated himself. Nurmi informed the committee that. barring unforeseen circumstances. he intend cd to compete as follows:
 January 26-Two mile race at Bos- ton K. of c. meet.
 January 31-Two mile race at St Joseph's c. c. meet. Newark. February 1.-Two mile race at the Boston A. 4. games.
