SMITH TO
MAKE NO
CAMPAIGN
Democratic Leader Will
Be Receptive Candidate
For Nomination.
PROGRAM PUZZLING
Willing To Accept Nomi-
nation If II Is Offered
By Convention.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8. UPl-For-
mer Gov. Alfred T. Smith of New
York is a receptive candidate for
the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation.
He has announced his willingness
to run if the Democratic national
convention wants him, but he said
in a statement published today
that he will not make a pre-
convention fight for delegates.
With this important announce
ment of position, politicians looked
forward to test of strength be-
tween Smith and Gov. Franklin ID.
Roosevelt a month hence in the
New Hampshire state primary.
Smiths announcement was seen as
the beginning of a bitter duel for
the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation with Roosevelt's chances
probably the most affected
adversely or favorably-by Smiths
action.
The pre-convention battle was in
dicated by Smiths willing to run
statement today, in which the NOM
inee of 1923 announced:
"If the Democratic convention.
after careful consideration, should
decide that it wants me to lead,
! will make the fight; but I will
not make a pre-convention cam
paign to secure the support of
delegates"
The first state primary in which
the Roosevelt and Smith forces
meet, for it is generally assumed
friends of Smith will intensity
their campaign on his behalf, will
be in New Hampshire March 8.
The New Hampshire primary
will be followed by state primaries
in Massachusetts, New York and
Pennsylvania, all of which deliver
large blocs of convention delegates,
and all highly important to any
candidate in Democratic conven-
ton in which the two-thirds rule
prevails.
Smiths statement contained a
closing paragraph which might be
interpreted two ways. 1t read:
"By action of the Democratic
national convention of 1928 I am
the leader of my party in the ma
ton. With a full sense of the re-
sponsibilities thereby imposed, I
shall not in advance of the con-
vention either support or oppose
the candidacy of any aspirant for
the nomination
Purpose Not Clear
That may be a promise not to
oppose Roosevelt, or Newton D.
Baker, or Albert G. Ritchie, or
John Garner or others who rate as
favorite sons. 1t may be an eX-
planation of why Smith does not
now openly announce his opposi-
ton.
Roosevelt forces accepted the
statement as announcement of
candidacy, which naturally will
mean opposition to the leading
candidate.
The religious issue was found
lTcQueIlJly Ill COIIlIi1c1lG ny DeI1lO-
cratic leaders and newspapers in
the south and west. Some Roose-
velt workers saw the Smith state
ment, for just that reason, as
something that would drive. many
doubtful states into the Roosevelt
column, Roosevelt being more ac-
ceptable on both religious grounds
and the liquor issue.
Roosevelt personally was silent
on the statement, as were other
candidates and previous condi-
dates, excepting James M. Cox Of
Ohio. Cox said:
Naturally there is a feeling that
Smith is entitled to another
chance. He has opened the way
to determine just how widespread
that is
Cox headed the Democratic
ticket in 1920 with Roosevelt as
the presidential nominee.

PLENTY OF TALENT
IF IT is CONSERVED
Fitzpatrick, Famous Trainer,
Warns Against Costly
Procedure of Past.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

"HE United States has had
a poor track record in
L Olympic games for some
time back and it is no GER
tainty the record will see any
great improvement at Los Angeles
in August.
The talent is there from the
100 meters to the 1900 meters,
but, after all, a pair of human
legs can handle only SO much
running before they begin to
wobble and flop. There is still a
big chance ahead that most of
our stars will be run out before
the Olympic showdown arrives.
mo runner can stand up under the
burden we place on most of our col
lege stars" Keene Fitzpatrick said a
few days ago AS Keene hasn't missed
a days work at Yale, Michigan or
Princeton in AZ years-dating back to
1890-he ought to know.
I'VE have too many college competi-
tions for our runners" Fitzpatrick says,
land by the middle of the Summer
most of them have lost the keen edge
needed for an Olympic victory. This
happened in 1924 and again in 1928.
I believe it will happen once more in
1892 Unless relief is given to some
of the leading running stars they will
be well below championship form when
the real test comes.

Case of Eastman.

THIS seems true all the way through.
Il Take the case of Ben Eastman,
Stanford's record d-breaking quarter
and half miller. Eastman has already
had busy Spring. There are the dual
meets with Southern California and
California ahead, where the rivalry is
keen. After this the intercollegiate
and the Olympic trials are to be held
and then follow the Olympic games.
Eastman is a great runner, but he
isn't the most rugged athlete in the
world He can stand only so much.
It isn't the fault of the coaches who
have these competitions to face. 1t
would be difficult for coach to leave
one of his sure point winners of the
team against an old rival. 1t would
be difficult for coach, to keep sure
point winner out of the intercollegiate
games, set for early July.
The same condition applies to Frank
Wykoff and other sprinters, who have
SO many hard heats to face before the
ffnaI race is run And there Is little
opportunity to loaf today in the midst
of SO much speed There are toe many
fast sprinters who can travel within a
half stride of world record on Ger
tain days.
Few realize the terrific strain in
volved in running the 100, 200, 400
and 800 meter races against high-class
competition. Only a few such races
are needed to bring on physical and
mental and nerve staleness, from which
recovery is none too rapid.

~ ENTRAL'S got only one hur-
die to jump to win the high
school meet this Spring.
And that's not Eastern. It's
the scholastic hurdle"
Mike Kelley, coach of Eastern, de-
Tending track champion, is doing the
talking.
Why" says Mike, I'VE had tough
time beating Central last year, 4S to
AZ, and they've all the fellahs vino got
points back, while Eastern has lost ma
terial that scored 80 of it's points. Yes,
sir, it'll be Central this year unless the
marks spill the beans" Mike doesn't
expect Tech to do a whole lot. The
meet will be held May q in the Cen
trail Stadium.
Mike does not attach real Importance
to Eastern's showing against Episcopal
the other day when the Lincoln ParkerS
gave the Alexandrians considerable of
tussle. He says that this cannot be
used as a gauge to predict how Eastern
will fare in the public high school meet
In view of the different conditions that
mark the affairs.
Meanwhile, though, Mike has the
Fasteners stepping, determined that
the Lincoln Parkers will not relinquish
their title without bitter struggle.
Today an interclass meet was on at
Eastern to stimulate interest in field
and track, and the Lincoln Parkers are
planning to compete in three meets be-
fore the high school affair, dual affair
with the University of Maryland fresh
men next Wednesday at College Park,
the Maryland scholastics May at Col
lege Park and the &C" Club meet, May
81, in Central Stadium
If the public high school base ball
teams put on more games like that 10
inning affair in which Central con-
quered Western, to 6, yesterday the
attendance at the series games doubt
less would be much larger. The victory
put Central ahead by a rather good
margin in the series with two wins and
no defeats, and Eastern, which has not
yet opened series play, now is regarded
as the only serious obstacle left in Gen.
trails path to the flag Tech is not fig
ured likely to furnish Central great
deal of opposition
Yesterdays game was one of the best
the series has offered in recent seasons.
Western rallied in the traditional
seventh to score three runs off the de-
livery of Johnny De Bettencourt, who
relieved Emmett Buscher in the fifth in
ming, and tie the score at six-all. Then
after neither team scored in the eighth
nor the ninth, and there were two down
in Centraps tenth. the Columbia Heights
boys got busy. Cooke walked, stole sec
ond and dashed home on Raub's single.
Raub soon afterward counted when Bits
Keyser singled De Bettencourt set
Western down in order in its half of the
inning.

several of the anglers so far have

water becomes little clearer anglers
using small minnows will land a lot
of the larger perch weighing around
a pound each.
For some years the run of white
perch to our waters in the Spring
has not been large, but this year the
run is reported to be unusually
heavy. Many reasons have been as
signed to the lack of perch in the
river each year, the principal one
being the pollution of the waters.
Perhaps this year the heavy current
in the river following the rains
caused the water to become less

- ENIOR golf is in the midst of big
boom around Washington. With
more than 40 golfers participat-
ing in the initial tourney of the
season for members of the Senior Golf
Association of the Chevy Chase Club
over the past week end, the Senior Golf
Association at Columbia is moving for
ward toward organization with the
prospect that the Columbia Senior Asso-
ciation will number within a few
months almost as many members as the
Chevy Chase senior organization which
has a membership of 96 and is growing
each year.
So far more than 80 members of the
Columbia Country Club have signed up
to join the senior association which is
in process of formation at that club and
more are coming in each day, spurred
by a warning from Clark C. Griffith,
president of the Washington Base Ball
Club, that "Griff" expects to win all the
senior events at Columbia. The grizzled
base ball veteran, who shoots a good
game of golf, well down in the low 80s
and with an occasional dip into the
high 7Os, has written Red" Banagan,
assistant pro at Columbia, that all the
other senior golfers at Columbia are in
for a licking when Clark Griffith takes
his war clubs in hand Griffith, it will
be recalled, tied for the District senior
championship last year with P. S. Rids-
dale of Chevy Chase and lost on the
play-off at Burning Tree.
Interest among the seniors has been
spurred this year by the fact that the
Maryland State Golf Association will
hold senior championship this year at
the Rolling Road Golf Club and men,
bers of most of the Washington clubs
will be eligible to play. Ridsdale is vice
chairman of the Maryland State Senior
Committee and many members of Chevy
Chase and Columbia plan to play in
the tourney.
1t will be an 18-hole medal play
event. The District senior champion
ship, which will be played this year at
Woodmont on october IL and IL, will
be 36-hole medal play event. In past
years not many of the senior golfers of
Washington have gone to the United
STATES senior CHAMPIONSHIPS. a lew
have played in these events, largely
from Chevy Chase, but in view of the
expanded activities of seniors in golf
competition this year, probably there
will be several entries from Washington
clubs in the national seriors' tourney.
And don't let the idea run away with
you that the seniors can't knock a golf
ball around any golf course in the
minimum number of strokes. Ridsdale
and Griffith are tough customers on
any mans golf course, but Gen. r. H.
Allen of Chevy Chase and c. H. .Chas-
mar of Columbia are seniors who can
handle themselves under any sort of
golf1ng conditions. Senior golf does
not mean doddering golf, by any stretch
of the Imagination.
