AINTREE, Eng, March 21-,P)
Prospects of fair weather for to-
lnOrroWs grand national sJeeple-
chase dimmed today as Yesterdays
drizzle developed into a regular
north Of England downpour.

along in fine spirits.
Too much rain would not please
the Maryland jumpers trainers

There sens no reasonable doubts
that Manager Roger Peckinuaugh'5
remade team will offer a far holder
front than he was able to present
last season. His infield has been
strengthened by the addition of the
little. but rugged, JACKIE Tavener
and transfer Of Joey Sewell to third
base, and a much needed punch in
the outfield has been supplied by
two promising recruits and an es-
tablished star. Dick Porter and
Earl Averill have shown indications
of living up to their minor league
regulations and Bib Falk, the for
mer Chicago White Sox, can swap
base hits with most Of the major
league batsmen.
NO radical changes have been
made in the battery forces but Jim
linn who has pitched good ball for
several years in A. A. baseball Will
have a chance to see if he can 90
well higher up.
Luke Sewell. junior Of the famous
SeWell brothers, and Glenn Myatt
will do the catching with Grover
Hartley, a veteran who is listed as
a coach. acting as emergency relief
unless General Manager Billy Evans
finds a likely prospect unattached.
HudIin Gets Control
linn and Ken Holloway, late of
Detroit, seem To be the best Of the
new pitchers on the staff but We5-
ley Terrell, who was farned to
Terre Faute. is back evidently TO
stay with an even better fast ball
than he had last spring. Verne
Underhill. another farm hand,
probably will make the grade this
time. Willis Hudlin. Walter Miller.
Joe Shaute, George Grant, Mel
Harder and John Miljus are re-
tanned from the 1928 staff. Miller
has shown decided Improvement
over his previous performances and
Hudlin has worked long and hard
at a control machine. He has a
target set UP in right field and
spends hours throwing at ID.
FaIk Hits
Three-fourths Of the infield Is
set. Joe Sewell, although he has
never played third base Is already
at home. Tavener, who gets as
many extra base hits as singles
in a years work, will play short
stop with Carl Lind, the double play
expert. at second base. Lew Fon-
SEGA and Johnny Hodapp are avail
able for first base with Fonseca, the
Portuguese song bird, having the
call. The infield fight III the IN
dian camp is for the reserve places.
Ray Gardner, New Orleans short
stop, can field but his hitting re-
mains in doubt. John Burnett. big
and fast, who IS a product Of the
University Of Florida has made a
good impression and may be kept as
ne Is a versatile performer.
Porter and Averill seem destined
to start the season in right and CEN
ter as both have hit well in the
spring The clever Jameson is in
a contest with the hard hitting Bib
Falk for the other field. One will
be an extra outfielder with Ed Nor
gan, the only right handed hitter in
the first five outfielders.

CY LELAND OF T. c. u.

Special to The Herald)

FORT WORTH, March 21.-The
prospects Of a star dash man OH the
T- @. U. track squad this year were
materially frightened here last week
when CY Leland, crack sprint star,
navgated the century IN 10 seconds
to win that event in the Southwest
ern Exposition meet. Cy'S time
eoualed the record for the meet. set
by Burgess OF the AggieS several sea-
sons ago.
Leland also broke the record III
the 220-yard dash, although he
failed to finish first. He was z split
second behind an Abilene Christian
College dash star, and the two fin
ished SO close together that many
thought the event a tie. Both run
ners nicked a fraction Of a second
from the former record. also held by
Burgess.
Leland was the only IN. @. U. III
to place IN the meet, winning the
eight points registered bv the Purple
tracksterS. Coach Harvey Lights
SQUAD failed to develop strength in
any other department.

FTyHE day Of hodge-podge furniture and knick-
knacks has undoubtedly gone forever. Now
one finds the home-maker striving not alone
toward comfort, but seeking a charm and dignity
that enhance the entire effect. No piece Of
furniture is chosen without due consideration
to its background and its general attitude
toward the rest Of the room II it doesn't fit
into the scheme Of decoration, It is Of no use,
and out it gees. Which certainly makes for
more charm, greater restfulness and comfort,
10 say nothing of the dignity which IL impaired.
Odd pieces Of furniture have come into their
