YOUNG GIANT

Although the New York Yam
KEGS lost Fred Asbeck, six feet
two inches tall, who has decided
to quit baseball in favor Of work
ing in a bond house in Chicago,
it has gained Jim Weaver, Balti-
more highlander, who stands six
feet six and a half inches.
Indications are that there will
be a lot of tall rookie pitchers in
the American League training
camps this spring.
Washington has Arthur Fidler,
from Hagerstown, who reaches
six feet five inches in the air.
Among other lengthy twirlers
booked for tryouts are: Charles
Marrow, Detroit, six feet four
inches; Fay Thomas, Cleveland,
and Henry Mcdonald Athletics,
six feet three and a half inches;
Lynn Griffith, Washington, Thorn
ton Lee, Cleveland, Fred Barnes,
Yankees. John McGrew, Athletics
and Howard Craghead, Cleveland,
six feet two inches.

That the Briton will make the
most of his opportunity is indi-
Gated by the fact that local tin
horn gamblers have installed him
as the early favorite at odds of
7 to 5.

RAY FINISHES.
SEVENTH

MONTREAL, Feb. g. Frank
Hoey, Montreal youth. held the
laurels today as the speediest snow
shoe manipulation in Canada. He
won the 20O-mile race from Que
bee City to Montreal yesterday
when he completed the final lap
with a total elapsed time of 26
hours, three minutes and 4OSsec-
onds.
More than 25O,OOO witnessed the
finish of the race.
Arthur Newton, South Africa,
was second, defeating Frank
Des ROchers of Montreal by a
few seconds. Paul GavuZZi, Eng
land, was fourth and M. b. Nc
Namara Of Brisbane, Australia,
was fifth.
Joie Ray of Chicago finished
seventh, with his frost bitten face
swathed in bandageS. Sammy
Richman, New York, was eighth.
The final lap was from Mon
treal east to La Fontaine Park,
Hoey making this run in SIS min
utes. The first prize was 81 ESQ,
second $7OO and third $500. The
next seVensrunners divided 81, 450.

Steps Up In World

His satisfaction at thus STEP
ping up in the world is reflect
ed in his happy countenance,
his easy bearing and his hearty
welcome to the callers-cash
and otherwise.
"COme in," he will greet you
as you click the latch on the
door, "and have q chair. Here
(reaching in a desk drawer)
have a cigar! What'd'y think
of my new Officer"
And try to find a chair!
Not that Joe hasn't got chairs
spotted around his latest effort,
but each one is inhabited by
some member of his retinue,
mostly all of whom are strangely
suggestive of that Ninth Street
which Joe thought he was leav-
ing behind.
These hangers-on, these yes
men, these human flotsam, seem
to lend a background to what
one would expect to find
around a promoters office and
one can imagine Joe giving
them a good, round bawling
out, for not jumping UP and
giving a gent a seat when he
comes to pay respects and
otherwise examine Washing
tons newest promotorial head
quarters.

American Interpretation of the
rules Of the ring handicapped
him in his first meeting with
Dundee. Time and again he
was warned by the referee for
infraction of the regulations.
Now that he is better acquainted
with the American style of mill
ing. and has had time in which
to acclimate himself, he believes
he will make a much better show
ing.
Working Out
Dundee, however, believes along
with Peggy Joyce that what has
been done once can be accom-
plished again, and is confident
of repeating his victory over
the Briton.
Vince has been working out
at Summit, N. j., with Max
Schmeling, who starts his south
ern tour tomorrow. Dundee has
had more experience than the
German in getting up off the
floor but in other departments
of the game, Max was able to
give him valuable pointers.

AS boxing is prohibited in this

to do some shadow boxing, rope
skipping and few other training
movements. Outside of New York,
Schmeling is regarded as world
heavyweight boxing champion.
Jim McMillen, former Uni

FIRE N Gil STAR
PERFORMS

NEW YORK. Feb. 9.-The sec
ond half of the French track
threat goes into action tonight
out in Newark when Paul Keller,
800-meter champion of France,
toes the mark in the special
1,000-yard race which. featured
the Seton Hall College games at
the 18th Regiment Armory.
The first half of the Gaul in
vasion, in the person of Seraphin
Martin, worlds record holder at
800 meters. proved somewhat of
a fizzle on Saturday night in
the Millrose games. Not only
was he forced to take the dust Of
Russell Chapmanu in the $780,"
but Dale Let's, of Chicago u, also
managed to squeeze through to
the tape before the record-holder
finished.
Keller may do better. If he
can keep his feet on the slippery
armory floor-he has been hav-
ing difficulty accustoming him
self to short spikes and indoor
trackS-he should give DR.. Paul
Martin, the Swiss surgeon, and
Phil Edwards, former N. Y. U.
star, his chief rivals, hard run
for the third place laurels.
DR.. Martin is suffering from a
bad cold and is nowhere near
his best shape. Edwards, TOO,
appears to be considerably off
form, judging by the ease with
which Alex Wilson and Eddie
Roll led him to the tape in the
Millrose "60O."

Today's
Sportorial
BY KIRK MILLER

If you care to gaze on a pic
ture of contentment, it would
do your old heart good to drift
down on H street, Northwest,
past the Annapolis Hotel and
peek into the wrestling head
quarters of the eternally youth
full Joe Turner, who has opened
uptown offices"
Tilted back against the wall
in a cane-bottomed chair, and
behind a flat-topped desk, a
cigar sticking from his mouth
at rakish angle and looking
out at the wide, wide world
from back of as impressive a
pair of celluloid-rimmed spec
tacles, as you ever saw, Uncle
Joe appears so satisfied with
life that it seems a shame to
go in and disturb his peaceful
mien with such worldly mat
ters as wrestling.
There in his one-room salon,
he is transacting all of the de-
vious, and when we say devious
we mean DEVIOUS, business in
connection with Washington'S
lone wrestling project-the
weekly shows which have been
attracting hundreds to the Au-
ditorium of Thursday nights
lately.
After twenty-five or more
years in the wrestling racket,
either as a performer or pro-
moter, Turner has at last
shaken the dust Of Ninth street
from his heels and has moved
uptown" as it were.
The Washington times., 1931-02-09
Doesn't Forget Nose Bag

Yes, Joe bawls them out,
plenty; and appears to be rough
about it, but behind his mo-
mentary disguise of disgust, he
doesn't forget these derelicts
have got to have supper money
and his harshness fades as he
doles out the two and four
bit pieces with a warning to
"in the future 'scram' when
you see a gent come in to CALI"
Man and boy, Turner has
seen a lot Of life. He's seen
success and he's seen failure.
He's watched wrestling hit the
prosperous cycles and sink
again almost to the forgotten.
Riding at the moment on the
wave Of a veritable wrestling
renaissance, Turner is deter
mined to make the best of the
games present popularity and
