SHOE ACES
VIE IN ILL|N| MEET
Eight Champions, Featuring
Berlinger, on Hand to
Defend Titles.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHAMPAIGN, III, March IA
4 Track and field aces from vir-
tually every university and
college of the Central West.
together with a scattering Of stars from
distant sections of the United States,
lined up today for another concerted
attack on the record books in the four
tenth annual University of Illinois
Relay Carnival.
Close, spirited competition was prom
ised for almost every event on the pro-
gram, which included IL individual
contests, four college and four univer-
sity relays and the tussle for the all
around championship. Eight out of
eleven individual champions Of the 1880
carnival were back to defend their titles.
The mighty man from Penn, Barney
Berlinger, faced the unlucky number of
10 opponents In his struggle to annex
his third consecutive all-around cham
pionship. Berlinger first won the crown
with a ord-breaking performance of
SOTO points In 1929 and repeated easily
in 1880.
CoIored Star His Rival.
Among his rivals were Everett Utter
back, Pittsburgh Negro star, who was
runner-up last year; Douglas Of Grin
nell, Parker of Lake Forest (Chicago)
and Coffman of Kansas and possibly
McDermott, pole vault star from the
University OF Illinois.
One Of the anticipated classics Of the
individual events was the 75-yard high
hurdles, in which Lee Seminar of Illi-
nois, world and meet record holder. and
Jack Keller, fleet Ohio State sophomore,
were entered. Keller rates as one of
the best murders in years at Ohio State
and has broken even with Seminar in
two meets. Hager, Iowa, State star,
also will compete in that event.
In addition to Seminar, defending
champion in both the low and high
hurdles over the 75-yard route, these
champions were back today: Gordon of
Miami, 300-yard dash; Putnam, Iowa
State, 1900 meters; McDermott and
Warne, Northwestern, who tied in the
pole vaults; Gordon, Iowa, broad Jump,
and BeYlinger.
Titles Are Open.
The only individual events with no
defending champions were the 75-yard
dash, 1,0oo-yard run, shotput and high
jump.
Notre Danes 2-mile team, led by Alex
Wilson, appeared unbeatable, while Mar
quetts's distance medley champions,
paced by the two Walter boys, looked
like another sure winner. In the mile
relay, Michigan's team. which won the
Big Ten indoor title last week, looked
the fastest, with expected competition
from start to finish from Northwestern
and Ohio State. The 4-mile relay and
shuttle hurdle relay seemed like wide
open races.
Avery Brundage, president Of the Ma
tional Amateur Athletic Union and for
merly the alI-around track champion
of America, will act as chief referee.
All told, nearly 700 athletes will COM
pete.

Mort MYERS, Fla. March IA.
~ Connie Mack is one Of those
managers who are tremen-
dous assets to their teams.
When he is ailing or absent the
Athletics never go so well.
The first thing, therefore, to be
said in discussing the champions OF
the base ball world this Spring is
that their leader never looked better
in his life or appeared to be in bet
ter spirits. This is the season that
Connie hopes and expects to win
his third successive pennant-an am
bition he has had through all these
years.
Philadelphia has won. eight PEN
narlts in the American League. Three
times 1t has won two flags In sue
cession, but never three.
IF the boys will just forget that
they are champions" says Mack, 'if
they will start from the Jump as If
they were going after their first flag.
then, believe, that we will be in the
next world series"
But Connie is not willing to admit
that an easy race lies ahead.
Washington" he says, SIS great
ball club. 1t has pitching, hitting
and fielding, and an ambitious. VAL
liable, young player, such as Joe
Cronin, in the infield carries the
whole team along. He is a great
shortstop."
"As for New York, continued Mack,
THAT club always is dangerous. Pip
gras is a big strong fellow and ex-
pect to see him recover from his
operation sooner than most persons
think he will. Cleveland is danger
our, too. If a couple Of young Pitch
ers happen TO make good that club
will be hard TO beat"
II suppose you are going 20 tell
me Detroit may be dangerous" ]

A LOYSIUS THOMAS KELLY, the
~ 19-year-old Georgetown sprinter,
~ who ran 20 yards In z LILO to
win the intercollegiate indoor
crown and tie the record time last
Saturday. couldn't make the track team
at Brooklyn Prep, where he studied be-
fore coming to Georgetown.
The youngsters, who looks to be sure
shot for next years Olympic games
literally blossomed into star overnight.
John D. O'Reilly, the man who
found" the husky Irish sophomore.
thinks he may prove second Jack
Elder or Tommy Mills.
Al Kelly was spotted by o'Rsilly
shortly after he came to the Hilltop.
Al was playing halfback for his fresh
man class foot ball team. He ripped on
yardage a la Red Grange. His high
knee action made it hard for tacklers
to bring him down.
O,Reilly coralled this speedy, 180-
pound youngster after the class series
was over. Still he did not show an
overabundance of promise. He was still
in the making as a freshman.
OReilly saw potential sprint power
in Kelly. His faith was rewarded dur
ing the last few weeks. Kelly, how
ever, who won the crown that his more
famous Hoya predecessor, Karl Wilder
muth, failed to gain in three years, still
is far from finished track product,
despite stepping 10 yards in a time
that has only been equaled by two
others in history, Hussey OF Boston
College and Lever of Penn.
Amazingly quick for big fellow,
OReilly asserts that AL has yet to ac-
quire the finished knack of starting.
"Just little slower than the smaller
men" advises the veteran Hoya mentor,
but once he gets moving, boy!'
Critics who witnessed Kelly's feats IN
New York have pronounced him
Olympic game material, though Al has
yet to run a competitive race outdoors.
He was just little nonplussed fol-
lowing his sensational performance last
Saturday. Gee" he confided to
O'Reilly, this is the first time I've won
anything"
Kelly's other board feats this Winter
have been little short of the sensational.
He placed third in the Olympic sprint
series in the Brooklyn College games;
second in the 40-yard dash in the med
ical games, and twice beat Eddie Tolan's
time in trial heats in the West Virginia
meet before placing second to the Mich
igan negro star and national champion.
Handicapped by the lack of an out
door cinder track at Georgetown and
by late lab class that keeps him at
his books until AIS, Kelly nevertheless
is training diligently and hopes to make
a good showing in the two outdoor meets

R. TERRELL LEAVES
RING FOR DIAMOND
Discouraged as Fighter, He
Gets $4,000 for Signing
With Browns.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

~ lex TERRELL of the numer-
~ Gus North Carolina Fer
i rells might have departed
from the base ball tradi-
tionS of the family and become a
first-rate middIeweight boxer but
for the fact he got his chin in the
way of some healthy wallops few
years ago.
The star backstop Of the ST. Louis
Browns and brother of Cleveland's ia
nous Yves Terrell was ambitious for a
ring career, he now admits. He was
making go,d progress, having won
something like 18 fights out Of 10, when
he was matched with a big fellow
whose name has not been preserved for
posterity, but whose sock to the jaw
effectively discouraged young Rick from
much more flstic activity.
Fine Checked Rick.
A $50 fine, plastered on Rick Terrell
by Manager Bill Killifer Of the Browns
last season for carelessness, seemed to
mark. a turning point in the young
Carolinian's base ball career.
He was a muchsought- young
Silan by big league clubs two years ago.
The Browns finally landed him, through
decision of Commissioner Lands, after
the Reds and Tigers had become in
Volved in complications. Rick got a
fiat $4,000 bonus for signing with st.
Louis and lot of publicity as well.
All this may have turned his head a
trifie, with justification, for he was only
% at the time. At any rate, he an
noyed the usually imperturbable Mr..
Killifer by some slipsllod work, the eli
max to which was day of numerous
bad plays.
Manager Bill fined his young star and
handed him a lecture. The medicine
took immediate effect. Rick dislikes to
lose $50 under any circumstances. He
buckled down to his job and has given
Killifer no cause for criticism since.
Five FerreIls in Game.
There are seven Terrell brothers. Two
of them are now in the majors, Yves
and Rick; third, George, Is an OUT
fielder with Buffalo; a fourth. Marvin,
aged 20, now receiving a pitching trial
with the Browns, and a fifth, only ID,
with the stamp of another good ball
player on him. Two other and older
brothers have somehow missed getting
into the game professionally
Rick is certain Marvin will follow the
loOISIepS Oh wesley as SucceSSIuI
pitcher. He has been getting his pre-
liminary schooling in a North Carolina
military school and in the coal regions
Of West Virginia, where Hack Wilson
comes from.
THE kid is feet / and weighs no."
Rick told me before the youngster re-
ported to the Browns. Hes got lot
of stuff and I wouldn't be surprised to
see him stick this year. You know,
these Ferrells are tough and hard to
discourage"

Chisox Hopeful
OF Going Places
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

GAN ANTONIO, Tex. March IA
- One year ago when the writer
stopped at the training camp of
the Chicago White Sox ne did not
find all peace and harmony.
The Sox then had new manager.
They had new training field. The
players were forced to practice on
the bone dry earth, and when 1t dries
1t is like adobe. Some of the players
were hold-outs. Lou Barbour, the
secretary of the club, long recon-
ciled to take everything as it came,
was about the only one of the party
unperturbed,
This year things are different. The
Sox think they are going somewhere
and they have started on their way
with zeal. Not even the glances of
f1appers of San Antonio have any
charm for the White Sox players.
They are sure they can finish in
the first division, and the energy Of
Manager DOME Bush has permeated
the camp.
Both ChicaAp and Detroit players
seem to BELIEVE that Philadelphia and
Washington will remain in the first
division, but as for New York, the
answer is no pitchers and no infield.
Besides they believe the home run
procliyities of Babe Ruth are waning.
