New York, Aug 27 - GU. P.)- "Sylvio Gator from Haiti to see you" the telephone operator said.
 We strained our ears for the sinister booming of tom toms, We fully expected to see Sylvio enter with a bunch of Voodo feathers in his hand, sacrif1cial goat thrown over one shoulder, and chanting mumbo jumbo business. Instead he came in impeccably attired in a gray ensemble, and greeted me with "H'ya!"
 well" we said, you don't look much like witch doctor"
 He laughed. Been reading Sea- brooks Magic island, haven't you?'
 We confessed.
 "Very charming writer, Sea- brook" Sylvio said, "So charming, in fact, that he can make $50 pages of what believe you call ''hooey'. interesting. No, not all of us Haitians are savages."
 Sylvio. fresh from Los Angeles, was still bemoaning the. torn leg muscle that prevented him from entering the Olympic broad jump pre-games favorite. He's the world J0AAPSAS .JSN SNAeS VI ~A~' ing sailed 26 feet and one-eight of an inch in an international meet in Paris just after the 1928 games at Amsterdam. According to Sylvio, one Cheuhei Nambu of Japan, re- gently did 26 feet inches, but the OrientaIs mark has yet to be ac- cepted as official.
 Just to show that the torn muscle was all that prevented his winning the title, Gator out-tumped the Olympic winner, Ed Gordon of Iowa, in a post Olympic meet in Chicago a few nights ago.
 Gator was asked what he consid- cred the limit" in broad jumping.
 "Oh guess somebody'll come along and do 27 feet or better. But it's going to make quite nan. To do 27 feet he's have to have a lit- tie more than the ordinary requis- ties of broad jumping-tremendous speed and perfect form. He'll have to have an inborn rhythm that will enable him to sprint at top speed right up to the takeoff. Most of us now, you know, slow down in the last few strides in order. to get perfect rhythm. And that costs you momentum. And momentum is half

the game. A tail wind will be nice, too, in doing 27 feet"
 We asked Gator if the kick broad jumpers make in mid-air helped much.
 T don't know. never have tried doing without 1t so. I'd say though, that the kick is worth a few inches, anyway. And as a few inches Is all that separates great broad jumpers from good ones, I'd say it's import ant"
 Broad jumping isn't Gators first love. Soccer is. He played soccer years before he found out he was a better than middlin' jumper. He did better than 21, feet his first jump. That was eight years ago. when he was 22.
 Tt took me eight years to add five feet to my distance, so you can see broad Jumping isn't so simple, " Sylvio said. only hope the next four years sees me add one inch. For 27 feet oughta win at Berlin"

CARDINALS STOVE LEAGUE EXCHANGES
 WERE NOT so HOT
BY GEORGE K1RKsEY

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Officials of the St Louis Card- finals were bitterly assailed by home town fans last winter when they traded Chick Hafey, Nation al league batting champion and Burleigh. Grimes, World Series pitching hero, to other .clubs.
 The Cards sent Hafey to Cin- cinnatf after his refusal to accept the salary terms offered him, and traded Grimes to the Chicago Cubs. The Cards received Pitcher Benny Frey and Outfielder Har- vey Hendrick from Cincinnati, and Outfielder Hack Wilson and Pitcher Bud Teachout from the Cubs in these two deals. They later turned Frey and Hendrick back to the Reds, sold Wilson to Brooklyns and sent Teachout to one of the farms.
 So far Hafey and Grimes, they realized nothing in players to bol- ster their world championship array. Sam Breadon, however, col lected cash from the Reds. Cubs and Dodgers to the equivalent of what Grimes and Hafey were worth.
 Breadon's reputation of. never making bad deal, however, did not suffer from these two deals as Hafey has been out of the lineup more than half the season with injuries and illness and Grimes has been almost useless to the Cubs because of poor health.
 If Breadon had stopped there, the Cards might have survived the disposal of two of the teams stars and still be, in the thick of the pennant race. but he went to the we'll once too often when he sold Flint Rhem, right-handed pitcher, to the Phillies.
 Rhem had won four and lost two for the Cards when he was sent tQ. the Phillies along with In- fielder Eddie Delker in a cash transaction.
 Upon joining the Phillies Rhem promptly started pitching the best baseball of his career. winning eight of his first ten games and proving the leading factor in keeping Burt Shottsn's club in first division.
 If the Cards had kept Rhem and he had performed for them as he has for the Philkes, the world champions might be battline for the pennant instead of trying to keep out of second d. vision.

FIRST BASEMEN MANAGERS RARE
 IN MAJOR LOOPS
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

(Untte0 Press stan correspondent
 First basemen are rare as major league managers, but three of the latest players to be promoted to the helm have spent most of their playing days around the initial sack while fourth has played years in the big show.
 The two latest managerial ap- pointees are Charley Grimm of the Chicago Cubs and Bill Terry of the New York Giants, both regular first basemen for their teams. r The other manager appointed since the 1892 season opened was Marty McManus, who succeeded ton Red Sox. McManus has spent third base, but he played first base on occasions for the Browns and Ti- gers before he was traded to the Red Sox.
 Of the three new managers who started the 1882 season, Ofle-Lew Founseca of the CWcago White Sox-was a first baseman by. trade.
 Frank Chance, who piloted the Chicago Cubs to four pennants in the eight years he handled the team, was the most successful of all first basemen who became man. agers. Chance, however, was Q fail- ure when he shifted to the Ameri- can league. and handled three teams, the Yankees, White Sox and Red Sox, without success.
 George Sisler, one of the great est first basemen of all time, tried his hand at managing the St Louis Browns and made, a great bid for the pennant one year only to wind up a failure. :,
 Hal Chase, another immortal first sacker, managed the Yankees in 1911 and part of the 1910 sea- son, but he proved poor leader.
 History proves that catchers make the best managers. Five sof the present 16 major league man. agers were catchers during their playing days.
 The position from which each manager graduated follows:
 Catcher-Connie Mack, Athlet- ics; Gabby Street, Cardinals; Bill KiIlifer, Browns; George Gibson, Pirates; Dan Howley, Reds.
 Pitcher-Walter Johnson, Sena- tors.
 First base-Lew Fonseca, White sox; Bill Terry, Giants; Charley Grimm Cubs.
 Second base-Stanley Harris. Tigers; Joe Mccarthy, Yankees; and Marty McManus, Red. Box (McManus also played on third.)
 Shortstop-Roger Peckinpaugn' Indians.
 Third base-Bill McKechnie, Braves.
 Outfield-Max Carey, Brooklyn; Burt Shotton, Phillies.

he's the high mogul of baseball and his domain is worth millions. But don't want it."
 Joe should know about Judse
