Speaking Of Sports

good distance runners from the group in a years time.
 COOlies as Runners Having seen the coolies, bare footed, porly-clad and probably ill-nourished, pulling rickshaws through mud, snow, and slush, in cold and hot weather, up hill and down incline, know they have the stamina and courage to compete
 Tn long distance running races. They can run for hours at a time, | and never seem to tire. Consider
 ing that. they pull loads ranging from 150 to 250 pounds, it does
 not seem unreasonable to presume
 that they might be able to develop | speed running outside the shafts
 of rickshaw.
 The catch to this assumption is
 that there might be a dozen Jim
 Thorpes among the coolie class,
 but they could all stay there as far as the intellectual or better I class of Chinese are concerned. In China a man cannot rise above
 his birthfight by athletic prowess not yet anyway. China's ath-
 letes probably will have to come
 from the better class or those de- veloped from competition among students.
 American Football Of all sports, one would imagine
 that American football would be the last the Chinese would at tempt to play. Yet in February in Canton, the universities of Canton
 and Lingman played a game of American football and drew a
 crowd of 5000. Even in far-away
 China they must have heard of
 the late Knute Rockne. for the ac- count of the game states that Ling
 man "started with It's second
 string players and kept them fin
 for the first quarter"
 Rockne's old strategy worked
 well for Llngman. as the regulars
 promptly made two touchdowns In
 the second period and won the game l2-Q

He had dug out of the snowdrift down at Garden City and is as- sembling his microscopes for a closeup study of the Giants.
 Here is a club which was swept to a National league pennant and a world championship in 1883, on 8 wave of brilliant pitching and air-tight fielding.
 Standing pat on his 1883 line- 70, Manager Bill Terry will try to repeat for both honors this sea- son, despite the adoption of the uniform Tive" ball and despite momentous managerial and person. mel changes tha thave affected the complexion of the entire circuit.
 i've been connected with base ball for about 40 years," President Heydler told the United Press last night. "But I've never waited for the opening of a season with the same impatience as this time. I'll be so restless between now and April 17th that my friends will think I'm wearing a hair shirt. this year."
 Mum's the Word
 What did MT Heydler think of
  first place, he was not in position to make any public predictions, and in the second place he was un- able to arrive at any conclusions for his own private use.
 "We'll just have to sit back and watch" he explained. "We might have fair line on the race by July 4. I wouldn't bet on that though. I've never seen the clubs apparent ly so evenly balanced refore.
 "There are more player-manag- CTS in the league than ever before. That may have bearing on the campaign. No one knows what, if any, effect the uniform ball will have on teams like the Giants. The so-called Give" American league bal ldidn't seem to bother them in the lost world series with Wash ington. Perhaps those were excep- tional games.
 Promising
 "Cincinnati might start moving right along, now that Crosley and his men have taken over the Reds. That may make big difference in the won and lost column of some of the clubs"
 Other observers have pointed out that the Giants have shifted from their Los Angeles training camp to Miami this season. John McGraw took his team from Saras- ota, Fla, to California for the l932 season an dthey trained on the Pacific coast in 1883 also.

RANGERS, HAWKS l GAIN RUNNER-UP BERTH IN LOOP
Detroit Red Wings Hold Lead Though Beaten By
 New Workers
(By United Press)

The New York Rangers and Chicago Black Hawks were tied for second place in the National Hockey Leagues American Divi- sion to-day, and the New York Americans and Montreal Canadiens were dealocked for thir position in the International section by virtue of play on four fronts last night.
 Wings WallOped
 The Rangers drew even with Chicago by beating Detroit, 3-1, while the Black Hawks were held to a scoreless overtime tie by the Americans. That tie placed the Americans neck-and-neck with the Canadiens when the latter lost a rough, smashing game to their fel- low townsmen, the Maroons, 10.
 This victory gave the Maroons custody of the George Kennedy Memorial trophy, emblematic of the Montreal City championship. It marked the third Maroon victory over the Canadiens in six starts. One contest resulted in draw.
 In a match between divisional tail-enders, Ottawa beat Boston, 3-1, in overtime.

 Los Angeles, Calif.-Those flying fish who play on the road to Man dalay would hide their heads ' in shame if they knew Johnny Kaye.
 Imagine breaking an American quarter-mile record by 24 seconds! Imagine breaking world 400- meter record by 14.6 seconds! Imagine smashing another Ameri- can record by five seconds!
 Don't bother imagining it. Be- cause Johnny Kaye, a 200-pound old, did it last year while lying on his back.
 Johnny is a student at the Uni versity of Southern California. If he isn't the greatest backstroke swimmer the world has ever known, then George Kojas, Toshio Iriye and Walter Laufer were Wrestlers.
 He is an unusual, temperament tai kid. His favorite hobby is catching and training snakes. He is the son of retired Newark (N. J.) physician who has written several books on medicine. From his father Johnny received his leanings to be a naturalist.
 Three years ago, young Kaye was stricken with infantile paral- ysis. For two months he couldn't move muscle in either leg. The malady left him as mysteriously as it gripped him. He recovered so completely that he maintains even today that paralysis helped him.
 "sure,' laughs Kaye, lone stroke helped me with my swimming stroke. It looSened up leg muscles that always had been tight"
 Four years ago, as 8 student at Mercersburg (Pa) Academy, Kaye won the national interscholastic backstroke title. Then he decided to come west, where he could find new varieties of snakes.
 Under the, coaching of Fred Cady last year, Kaye began to hit his real stride. When Johnny goes out for a. record, he does the job right. For example,:
 He decided to break the world 400-meter backstroke record of minutes AZ seconds, set by Toshic Iriye in Japan, Sept. 30, 1928. Sc he swam the distance in 5:27.4.
 He decided to break the Ameri- can 440-yard backstroke record ot 6 minutes 10 seconds, ct by George Kojac at Cambridge, Mass, March 29, 1880. So he swan the distance in 5:45.
 He decided to break the Ameri- can 150-yard backstroke record of 1:49. So he swan 1 :44.
 Withal, hardly a Trojan frater- nifty wants Kaye as member. Everybody likes him but they can't get used to his snakes.

China Found Shy on Great Athletic Satrs

China Found Shy on
 Great Athletic Satrs
 Shanghai (UP)-China, with it's vast population of 4O0,OO0,0O0 - one-fifth of the human race-has never produced an athlete of great renown, so far as l know.
 Through the centuries the Chi nese never bothered with sports. They were too busy with other things-commerce, art, industry, farming, barter and trade, politi- cal intrigue and religion.
 This vast country, halfway around the globe from the United States, may never develop an Olympic champion, a tennis play CT of the first magnitude, a boxer of championship caliber, or a fa- nous athlete, but the yellow race has at Last awakened to the pos abilities of sport and has made tremendous advances in the last few years.
 Neglected Sports
 One of the main reasons for China's total neglect of sports was it's old educational system. Under this system, instruction was per sonal and not on 6 group basis. Students worked with private tu- otrs to acquire Knowledge of the Chinese classics In preparation for the state civil service examina- tions and there was no opportun- ity for encouraging athletics.
 This old educational system was abolished by the republican gov- ernment in 1912 and n new one similar, in a general way, to our own adopted. This change event. ually paved the way for the in- troduction of athletics on a group scale, and there is not city in China to-day in which there Is not some form of athletic activity.
 The most popular game Is asso- ciati0n football (soecer). Basket- ball comes next, and then tennis and track and field. It will be re- called that China sent one athlete iO the olympic games at Los An- geies, and his expenses were de. frayed by m individual. Sadly enough, ha was eliminated in the first trial in which he participated. There is no reason why China cannot produce n great l0ng-dls- tnne0 or marathon runner. Any prominent American track eoaeh, | believe. could select ht random hundred eolllea who pull rick nhaws, and develop hnif . dozen
