Luck at the Start

Certainly this is to '-e con-
sidered-in a smaller field to-
day Tick On should get a
better start. A week ago today
he started like a cranky Model
T Ford on a frosty morning in
the winter of 1921, being a
nervous wreck by the time the
barrier was sprung. Any luck
at the. start today and he
will chase Burgoo King right
back to Lexington, KY, where
he came from.
Trainer Make Hirsch has
shifted jockeys for today's
Preakness, putting Jockey A.
Robertson on Tick On instead
of P. Walls who had leg up
on the Iona Stable entry last
week in Louisville. This is
important in an event with
such a rich reward as the
PreaknesS carries-this COM
bination Of a good horse and
q good jockey.
It will be interesting to see
what improve: 2ent, if any
Robertson can get out of Tick
On, in stead of Walls. Tick On
has the fourth post position, as
against sixth in the Derby
which is not enough difference
to affect his chances today.

WORK
CONTINUES,
BAT, MOUND
BY GARRETT WATERS

The recent three-day layoff
due to the inclement weather has
not developed into too great q
handicap to the Griffmen if their
play of yesterday against the De-
troit Tigers can be taken as any
criterion.
Still, there's several games yet
to prove whether the team has
been affected or not as the oppo-
sition's pitching, as a most inn
portant item, was not as good
yesterday as it no doubt will be
later.
Even so, the Griffs batted en-.
couragingly as much as to indi-
cate that enforced off days are
not going to bother them after
all. If this is the case, Manager
Walter johnson and Your Uncle
Clark Griffith can we'll afford to
smile, as both were beginning to
get quite worried whether the
athletes under their direction
were going to be affected by the
layoff or not.
cain In Race
Incidentally, the pitching Of
Gen. Alvin Crowder was beauti-
full piece of work to watch. The
veteran was in splendid fettle and
brought the thought more and
more to mind that he is in for
that excellent season so heralded
this spring.
While the Yankees and Indians
idled yesterday because of some
more of that inclement weather
which has been carrying on in the
East during the past week, the
Griffs gained another half game
in the race thereby strengthening
their hold on first place. The
lead was two games before yeSter-
day.
The Tigers leave town today,
and hopeful of departing with at
least one victory under their belt,
are prepared to send the veteran
George Uhle to the mound. At
least this pitcher was Manager
Bucky Harris choice this morn
ing.
Lefty Lloyd Brown was to work
for the Griffs. Manager john
son decided upon this hurler to-
day after first considering Carl
Fischer. The latter will not get
an assignment before Monday
now as Prof. Monte Weaver no
doubt will get the call in tomor-
rows opening engagement against
the st. Louis Browns.
HadIey to Show
The Missourieps will be here
for four contests, by the way, the
GriffS hurrying to New York to
begin an important five-game
series against the Yankees next
Thursday.
Irving Bump" Hadley will
pitch one of the four games
while the Browns are here. This
big lad has been shifted around
many places since leaving the
Griffs-his most recent transfer
being from the Chicago White
Sox to the Browns in the trade
which sent Ralph Kress to the
Sox. 1t is not known just when
Hadley will hurl, but it's a sure
bet he'll get one of the starting
assignments against his old mates
before the series iS over

Back in History

There is a deal of back

dating back to '73, which is
long time before we were born
how about you?
A right rare piece of bric-a-
brac goes with the victory, the
winning owner being custodian
for the next year Of the ancient
Woodlawn Vase, as fancy a
piece of the silversmith's art as
you'd want to cast an enviouS
eye upon.
Here of late years the win
ming owner, in addition to hold
ing the vase for a year, gets a
miniature thereof which ne
keeps forever and the very
winning of it places one and
ones family in the aristocracy
among the equine folks.
Today, after the PreaknesS IS
won, none other than His Ex-
cellency Governor Albert Ritchie.
four-time chief cutive of the
Maryland Free State, will pre-
sent this vase to the lucky
horses owner, and if you. are
fortunate enough to be, here.
you will think the Democratic
convention is in session.
The Woodlawn Vase, let us
say in parting, was originally Il
challenge cup offered and cola
peted for annually by Col R. A.
Alexander, of Kentucky, sir, in
the famous Dinner Party Stakes.
But the civil war broke up the
renewals and wien those
damned Yankees started plum
.dering and pillaging around
Woodlawn, the colonels home,
the good colonel buried the
vase in the ground along with
all the other family plate.

Ossie did not have field day
at bat by any means but he
slapped out two hits, both real
ones, and by getting these bin
giles brought the thought to mind
that he's once more ready to
connect more frequently than
any time heretofore.
The first of Bluege's hits was
a Scorcher down the third base
line which Richardson stopped
beautifully. The Tiger was not
able to throw in time to get Man
ager Johnson'S popular infielder
at first, however.
The second of Bluege'S hits was
a solid double to left center and
it was easy for everyone to see
that it was real clout, OSSie
himself being quite pleased with
the feat as it was his first extra
baser in several weeks.
Nothing To 1t
In regards to the game, it was
all in favor of the Griffs from
beginning to end. The Tigers
could not fathom Crowder at all
after the third while Wyatt and
Herring were touched for II hits
which meant seven juicy runs.
Against Herring, the most
damage was done. In the lone
inning this hurler pitched, four
hits drove over three markers,
more than enough to put the
game far out of the Harris teams
reach. Herring stalked to the
box in the eighth after Wyatt

exact value to the winner Of the

depends upon the number Of

The track originally donated
$4,000. There were So nomina-

winner is guaranteed $41,475;

There are II entries. The
starting fee is $1,000 per horse.
All starting fees go to the win

it means a total of SEATS. For

D|DR|KSON WANTS
IMMEDIATE PROBE
Great Girl Athlete Anxious
to Be Cleared So She Can
Play Basket Ball.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ ALIAS, Tex, December T.
Mildred Babe Didrikson, one
of the worlds greatest femi-
nine athletes, is so eager to
play amateur basket ball this Winter
she has demanded an immediate in
vestigation of her disqualification by
the Amateur Athletic Union.
And at the same time she expressed
her desire to lead, as the elected cap
tain, team called the Golden Cyclones
and sponsored by the insurance COM
pany for which she works, the 19-year-
old Olympic games star reiterated her
denial that she authorized use of her
name or picture in motor car ad
vertisement.
INSURANCE company officials have
i announced they will aid Miss Didrik-
sons fight for reinstatement but it
appeared likely she would not play on
the basket ball team until the matter
was cleared up.
Lawrence Di Benedetto, chairman of
the Southern Amateur Athletic Union,
at New Orleans. said he had started
an investigation. At Chicago, j. Lyman
Bingnain, assistant 10 avery Brunoage,
president of the A. A. u, said Miss
Didrikson's case rested now with the
district committee.
Miss Didrikson said she felt she had
been wrongiully convicted on circum-
stantial evidence She said she never
had seen the testimonial for the auto
mobile until it appeared in print. She
admitted that several weeks ago she
posed standing beside an automobile
of the make advertised, but said she
had told the Dallas agent Of the COM
pany the picture could not be used
until she turned professional, If ever.
THE name of w. Foster Jacoby of
i Dallas, director of city parks and
secretary of the Texas A. A. u,
was brought into the case when Miss
Didrikson said he had asked her to sign
an Endorsement of an automobile,
promising her that 1t would not affect
her amateur standing. She stated she
refused to sign and told Jacoby the
use Of her name In that connection
would be against her wishes.
Miss Didrikson also said Jacoby had
urged her to turn professional soon
after she returned from the 1892 Olym-
pics at Los Angeles. Jacoby could not
be reached for statement.

FACULTY ADVISORS
MEET NEXT WEEK
Collins Supports, HardeII 0p-
poses Measurement Adopt
ed by A. A. U.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

4 CLASH looms on the ques-
~ tion of the adoption of the
n metric standard for the
annual public high school
track meet here. The matter is
scheduled to, be threshed out at
a meeting of faculty advisors next
week.
John Paul Collins, president
and treasurer of the Interhigh
Athletic Association, said today
he favored adoption of the sys-
tenn. However, at least one of the
track coaches, Hap Hardell of
Tech, is against change, at least
for the time being.
Collins figures the schools must go on
the metric standard If the records in
the meet here are to be recognized,
since the National A. A. U. adopted
the standard at its recent meeting. He
points out that this country and Great
Britain have been the only countries
not to go metric.
uARDELL sees no necessity for aban-
i i doning the present standards, at
least until opportunity has been
had to see how the metric system works
here. He points to the fact that oppo-
sition to it already has developed. The
Mckinley mentor doubts whether the
changes in markings on the field and
the other revisicns that would be neces-
sary to put the metric plan into effect
would be worth while. He also points
cut that 1t would be difficult to use the
new system on the Central High track,
where, under the metric system, the
100-yard dash would be something like
109 yards. He also wouldn't care to
see the present records which have
stood SO many years, thrown into the
discard, he said.
What difference does it make
whether the A. A. U. recognizes the
high school meet records here or not?"
Hardell asks. Wen recognize 'em.
There's no danger of any CT the boys
here breaking any world records, any
| way"
