CANADIANS AHEAD
IN FIGURE SKATING
Loom as Winners in Four
Divisions of Title Meet
in New York.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, February 11.-Lack-
M ing the skillful services of the
Y two United States champions,
the home forces today appeared
to have little hope of standing off the
challenges of Canada's brilliant skaters
and winning any of the four titles at
stake in the North American figure
skating championships.
The opening part of the two-day
competition yesterday gave an indica-
ton of what the results probably will
be when the last figure is cut on the
smooth surface Of the ice club rink in
the free skating exhibition tonight. The
school figures, those exacting tests that
are considered the elements of the in
tricate art of figure skating, were skated
yesterday in three divisions, and the
Canadian stars won most of the pop
ular acclaim.
NO standings were announced after
the preliminaries of the women's sin
giles, the pairs and the fours competi-
tions had been run off. But onlookers
were unanimous in saying that the
woman's championship lay between the
two Toronto skaters, Mrs. Constance
Wilson Samuel and Mrs. Edward F.
Gooderham. Mrs. Samuel and her
brother, Montgomery Wilson, winner of
every pairs title since 1929, again were
outstanding in that division.
In the fours, skated for the first
time in the United States, the Toronto
team of Mrs. Samuel, Elizabeth Fisher,
Montgomery aWilson and Hubert Sprout
and the Ottawa quartet of Mrs. Elmore
Davis, Prudence Holbrook, Melville
Rogers and Guy Owen, appeared bet
ter than the only United States team,
Suzanne Davis, Mrs. T. w. Blanchard,
Fred Parmenter and Richard Hapgood
Of Boston.
The entire mems singles competition
was scheduled for today with the school
figures in the morning and the free
skating along with the other finals at
night, and here again Canada was fa-
vored. Wilson, defending champion,
was expected to win, although j. Lester
Madden of Boston, 13-year-old Robin
Lee of Minneapolis and william j.
Nagle of Boston were counted on to
provide good competition.

Cox of Brooklyn showed the
way in the second round Of the
annual Gasparilla Open Golf
Tournament today after sizzling 81
33-65, which gave him the lead in the
first 18-hole round.
His leadership was contested vigor-
ously, however, by the field Of los con-
testants for the $3.50 guarantee and
the gate receipts.
Willie MacFarlane of Tuckahoe, N. Y,
and Light Horse Harry Cooper of
Chicago tied with 66 strokes each. we're
turn in 81 strokes, but drizzle of rain
during the last nine caused him to
take 35 coming in. Cooper had 33-33.
AL Espinosa Of Akron had 68 and
willingly accorded the credit to an
eagle on the eighteenth where he
sank an explosion shot from a trap In
front Of the green.
Seven players were tied at 70 strokes,
equalling the course par of 35-35 They
were Paul Runyan of White Plains,
N. Y; John Rouse of Chicago, George
Mclean of Yonkers, N. Y; Lloyd Gul-
lickson of st. Petersburg, Craig Wood
of Deal, N. j.; George Christ of
Rochester, N. Y, and James Mobiles of
st. Petersburg.

appendicitis. returned for another try

stresses which racing has imposed on
them.
Turning to discussion of automobile
record attempts. Campbell explained
that the governing factors at present
are tires and condition of the course.
Regarding tires" he said, "as we
progress, so will they become more
efficient and will be made to stand
terrific strains and stresses to which
they are subjected when these high
speeds are attempted. And, naturally,
it Is only possible to achieve high speed
under the most favorable conditions Of
the course"
The ruffled condition of the beach,
which has been delaying Campbell's
trials, continues to show improvement,
but the driver expressed the belief it
still will be two or three days before
it is suitable for high-speed racing.
He plans to take his car onto the
course today II weather conditions are
good, to enable photographers to take
pictures of it. He said he would not
make test run then.

CTANLEY COVELESKIE, right
- handed pitcher, gained his great
est fame with the Cleveland In
dians, for whom he won the world
championship of 1920 by hurting
three victories over the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
, Later Coveleskie was with the
Washington club, and in 1925 really
pitched the Senators into the world
series. Stanley was the leagues
leading singer that season. From
Washington Covey came to the
Yankees, and then his arm went
dead and he passed into retirement
from league competition.
However, Stanley still does some
pitching around Shamokin, Pa,
where he makes his home.
In that 1920 world series, Covel-
eskie had the distinction of pitch
ing a shut out, winning over Bur-
leigh Grimes and Al Mamaux, and
allowing only S hits 1t will be
recollected that this series produced
two shut-out games, Grimes having
hurled one in Brooklyn against
Bagby and Uhle.
Covey still would be in the ma iors
but for his having suffered an in
fection Of his arm. 3.

get out of the way Of Eddie's hooks for
thinking of that pair of lovely green
trunks. And when the end of the
fight came around, the referee was
thinking of something else and raised
the right hand of Mr. Burl
That's why young Mr.. Dougan's name
is enlisted among those of pugilism who
are superstitious.
"TF," means Leroy, "I had only of
i kept that. old outfit until I made
1t six straight, I believe the jinx
would not have overtaken me-"
But Mr.. Murdock says something
different. 'If he had Of gone in there
and battled like he should, We would
have won."
But the next time he comes out you
can bet that Leroy will be alongside of
those old shoes, if he only keeps them
in his corner to touch with his gloves
between rounds.
Kid Williams was that way. So were,
and are, dozens of other fighters. But
Williams had the yen so badly that his
trainers used to send out men on the
road to drop horseshoes in his path,
when he was doing his trotting exercise.
THEN there is this one about the
i kid from Baltimore who wore the
regal robe Of the banty ranks. He was
presented with a little skull piece by
Barney Oldfield. the motor car racer.
Barney used to bring in winners with
that lid tilted on his dome. So he gave
it to the kid, who did likewise.
He wore it against Johnny Coulon,
when he grabbed the laurels from the
California freaks ,brows. But when he
lost to Pete Herman at New Orleans
some one had taken the little cap be-
tween rounds.
Williams, to this day, will tell you
that when he lost his cap the jinx
grabbed his crown with it,
So if young Mr.. Dougan gets
notion that his shoes cost him a brawl,
he will be back with them tucked under
his arm in Alexandria soon.
