EXPECT GIRL
ATHLETES TO
SET RECORDS

NEW YORK, April Ia. W.P)-Girl
athletes, checking powder puffs and
French heels for the nonce, will
slip into abbreviated shorts and
spikes tonight for a fling at new
world records in the ninth annual
women's indoor track and field
championship.
These girls have been shamefully
neglected this season. Time was
when the Dianas of track and field
attracted almost as much atten-
ton during the winter months as
the men. But this year, Cunning
ham, Metcalfe, Marty and their like
have carried on with minimum of
feminine competition to steal the
headlines.
So tonight the current Babe Did
,dicksons will make the most of their
opportunity in Brooklyn's second
naval battalion armory. Since the
1872 stars from the United States,
Canada and Poland are competing
for national laurels for the first
time on a metric basis, new Ameri-
can marks will be listed in most of
the events and several world marks
are anticipated.

HUSKY CREW
BEATS BEARS

SEATTLE, Wash, April 4. U.P)--
University of Washington oarsmen
flung a new challenge at Eastern
rowing rivals today by their record
breaking performance in a three
quarter length victory over Univer-
sity of CALIFORNIA; varsity yester-
Cay.
Big Ed Argersinger stroked his
husky crew over the three mile Lake
Washington course in Is minutes,
80 seconds to win the major event of
the 31St annual regatta between the
two Pacific coast schools. The time
bettered the course mark set in the
1882 races by the California crew
which went on to win the Olympic
championship. The performance
meant that another great crew
would represent Washington a.
Poughkeepsie in June.
The victory in the varsity race
gave Washington and Coach AL Ul-
Erickson the lions share of the days
honors. In previous races Califor-
MAS junior varsity and Washing
tons freshmen were victorious.
The $4,000 fans watched the STIR
ring contest with bated breaths
Then, as the judges flags signified
a Washington victory, a great roar
of applause shattered an unnatural
quiet and the Husky oarsmen hap
PLY tossed little Coxswain Live into
the water.
CALIFORNIA; performance yester-
day was surprising for Coach Ky
Ebright had only one man with pre-
vious race experience in his varsity
boat. His crew, too, was one of the
lightest the Golden Bear tutor has
turned out in recent years.
Ebright was more disappointed by
the defeat of his freshman crew
than by the setback his varsity re-
ceived. Washingtons first year men
showed surprising strength by their
four and one-half lengths win over
the California frosh. The time for
the two miles was II minutes, 24.8
seconds.
In the junior varsity race the
Californians drove over the three
mile route in II minutes 41.8 second
to win from the husky oarsmen by
nine lengths.

MARTY SEEKS
NEW RECORD

LOS ANGELES, April ID. U.P)-
An assault on his own world record
was planned by Walter Marty to-
day at the coliseum where Fresno
State college was meeting the I'm
iversity of Southern California in
a dual engagement.
The sensational Fresno high
jumper hoped to better his official
world outdoor mark of feet, 8%
inches. Authorized A. A. U. officials
were assigned to supervise his two
planned attempts. 1t was believed
almost certain he would lower the
record as he has done unoffic-
tally already this season. His leap
of 6 feet, 9R inches in a meet last
week failed to qualify for the
record books because of the alb
sence of official observers.
Martyrs appearance completely
usurped local interest in the meet.
The Trojans were expected to
sweep many of the events with the
Bulldogs furnishing the most
spirited opposition in the high
jump, broad jump. quarter mile
and relay. Marty also was entered
in the broad jump and the relay
teamed with Rambo, Brantley and
Harris in the last named event.

BY HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, April 14.-Chout-
chouc or india-rubber. The great
est quantities Of this product arc
obtained from species of the genus
hevea of the spurge family. Central
American rubber is the product OF
Castillo elastica of the breadfruit
family Artocarpacease); ceara or
scrap rubber, of Maniho glaziovii
of the spurge family; East Indian
rubber, of Fiscus elastica, of the
nettle family; and African rubber of
several species of Landolphia, of the
dogbane family.
Rubber has a thousand uses,
ranging from teething rings to div
ing suits. But its principal use, and
the chief reason for its discovery
and perfection, I have come to be-
lieve, is for the manufacture of
rubber stamps, to be used by base
balls owners, managers and play
erS in issuing preseason statements.
These statements haven't chang
ed one iota since Abner Doubleday's
time. Every year the same thing.
You can go back into the newspaper
files 10 years, dig out the pre-bat-
tie statements of the baseball heads
at that time, and by simply making
them read 1884 instead of 1924 have
exactly what Terry and Heydler and
Frisch and Mccarthy will be sound
ing off within few days.
One of my duties, when the Gil
ants and Yankees get to town, will
be to ask Terry and Joe Mccarthy
for their opinion on the major
league season. The subway fare I'll
use in seeing them personally will
be fragrant waste of money, for I
can write their replies right now.
Terry will say this:
1.-THE National league is in for the
highest pennant battle in years.
There isn't a great deal to choose

between the Giants, Cards, Cubs and
Pirates, but we weer good enough
to win last year, and with our
share of breaks, ought to do the
same thing this year. There aren't
going to be any pushover clubs
this year. Cincinnati has been
strengthened, and the Phillies will
be in there fighting"
Here's Mccarthy
Mccarthy: 1.-The American league
is in for the closest pennant battle
in years. There isn't great deal to
choose between the Senators, Yanks,
Cleveland, Boston and Detroit, bur
if we get our share of breaks we
oughta come home in front. Our
pitching is better, and our infield,
with Red Rolfe at short, is much
stronger, both on offense and de-
fense."
If you talk to the managers of
the weaker clubs you'll get some
thing like this: I'm not promising
we'll win the pennant this year, but
we won't finish last. Well be in
there fighting all the way, and the
clubs that beat us will know they've
been in fight
Presidents John Heydler and Will
liam Harridge of the National and
American league respectively, are
cinch to come within a few words
of this: Baseball is in for one of
its greatest years. The numerous
trades, along with so many changes
in managementship, is certain to
create new interest. There are al
least four clubs in the league cap
able of winning the pennant, and a
tight, hard battle right down to the
finish is what the fans love. May
the best team win"
Some day some manager or pre-
Sident when asked what he thinks of
the coming season, is going to stand
up and say he personally feels ouse-
lay, that his team couldn't win the
Three-Eye flag, that the new ball is
going to make a mess of things, and
that he wishes he'd stuck to his Or
iginal intention and became an I'M
dertaker. The man who does this
first is assured of a place in history.

TERRY SAYS
GIANTS WILL
GET REMNANT

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April IA. (U.P)
Manager Bill Terry of the world
champion New York Giants predict
ed today, for the first time, that his
Giants would repeat for the Nation
al league pennant.
Hitherto, the modest Mr.. Terry
has limited his enthusiasm to
statements promising that the Gil
ants would finish one-two-three.
Today he said THE Giants will
repeat, unless our hitters go blind
and our pitchers go wild. can not
see how team with our spirit and
equipment can be beaten"
Terry also made another SurpriS-
ing statement. He said he feared
the st. Louis Cardinals more than
any other club in the circuit. This
was at variance with a recent ma
tion-Wide poll of sports writer's who
picked the Chicago Cubs as the most
formidable contender. Terry ranked
Chicago third.
Terry explained that the Cards
actually had him worried while
George Watkins was on their roster,
but that since he obtained Watkins
in trade for George Davis, he was
vastly relieved and confident Wat
kins would supply the punch his
outfit needed.
AS for the Cubs, Sure they have
the edge in hitting, but who will do
the pitching for them? According to
reports reaching us, none of Char
lie Grimm's new hurlers have
shown enough class to give us the
filters.
