SIGNALLING PRIDE
 SPURRED ON TO
 TITLE AMBITION
TeutOn Explains" Defeat ByfIamas as He Readies For Pauline
BY HENRY SUPER

United Press Stan COrfesp0ndent)
 New York, Feb 1B-(UP)-Ever since the day back at the turn of the century that Jim !Corbett was knocked stim by Jim Jeffries, heavyweight champions have un- successfully tried to disprove the theory that they never come back"
 Corbett, Fitzsimmons. Willard, Dempsey, Sharkey-all tried to re- gain their crowns. So 1t was with {. munled yawn that the boxing world today heard Max Schfneling proclaim that he will get back the title he lost to Jack Sharkey almost two years ago.
 Preparing to sail on Saturday for a bout with Pauline Uscudun, at Barcelona, April 8, the black haired German voiced tho opinion that his defeat the other night by Steve Hamas has served to make him more determined to get back the title. '
 Money Not Needed
 Max, unlike many other former champions, is not returning to the ring wars because of financial req sons. :.
 1T would have beaten Hafnas if that fight had gone fifteen sounds Schmeiing pointed out today. T almost had him out in the twelfth and in three more I could have stopped him.
 Tt takes he about eight or nine rounds to get started. Max Baer caught me before had gotten warmed up; Hamas was lucky our fight wasn't longer"
 Bright Memory
 Sitting in his hotel room with his manager, Joe Jacobs, Schmel- ing used his only successful title defense, against the late William L. Stribling, as an example,
 1T didn't get to Stribling until the closing rounds. But what hap pened when I got going? bat. tered him so much they had to halt the fight in the final session That shows need time to get go. ing"
 Schmeling's bout with Pauline whom he has beaten before, is 1t rounds. Hence, he emphasized, he does not feel rash in predicting victory-a victory he hopes vii again bring him back into a con. tenders position, and perhaps an other shot at Hamas.

Quebec (UP)-Norman Coates. of Darlington, Ont, near Ottawa, will drive his dog sled 800 miles to quebec in order to enter the In- ternationai Dogsled Derby. which starts it's 12O-mile trek on Feb 2s. .
 Coates was unemployed and hadn't the price of the entry free.

Coates will have to travel back-country most of the way and break traIl through fresh snow. because the dogs do not like highway traffic. He expects his huskihs to be in good training when he reaches quebec.

his team the edge, not forgetting Charlie Dubauskas' 314, "Sharlie" doesn't hit this score very often so lets give him a hand. The long (Dr Zemans) and short (Dr Sel- et1s) of it once more ran true to form with Salens rolling 348 and Zemans 245, his 56 in the second game was a beautiful exhibition of what not to do. on the bowling lanes and if Zemans doesn't hide his head in shame 1t will be be- cause his shoulders are broad and he can take 1t. For a dentist Doc Zemans doesn't seem to have much pull when he can't get the pin boys to kick over enough naples to at least hit average which is 85.
 Sheriff Jenusaitis and his depu- ties in spite of Al Rices 253 score managed to put the skids under the captainless Kopiszh quartet for three games, Alibi Stokes, Grinsunas and Capt Jenusaitis with 306-308 and 338 respectively were the sharp shooters while Al Voitu- kaitis was the only Kopieite to hit over 800 and Hop Sheron rolled the same way his car ran last week and that was rotten. Jay Wubble Stokes put on a down. down down act when he started with 116 then 90 and finally fin- ished with 77 the last game. Shame Litvin boys!
 Reverting back to form, Laskys Newsies took Ed Robbins legal lights over two out of three games, Happy Lasky must have shot an additional 2000 volts into the team which is something like blowing soap bubbles, they amount to noth- ing, save that voltage for your team when you bowl the leaders, Happy, that's when you need 1t most. All Bobbin has to do now is, beat Kopiczh those three post poned games and presto-Bobbin and Kopiczh are tied for the eel lar position. It has been Sheron's ambition to be on both, a 1st and last place team, first in 1883 last in 1934-Who thew that?

KIESELS CLIPPED

In the preliminary game the Reymond Hillies led by Freddy Sullivan chalked up their 17th win of the season with a 29-24 victory over the rangy Kiesel Five of Oak vile. Minus the services of Cunha, Joe Brophy and Mickey Walker the doughboys failed to click until the third period when they took a commanding lead and then stayed off last minute rally by the los- CTS. Toby Ramon of the winners was banished from the game in the final period for committing four personals and it was the first time in his basketball career that he was put out on fouls.
 With Sullivan tossing them in from all corners, especially in the third period, when he scored ten points, the fans were given a nice exhibition of long shooting and he carried off scoring honors for the night with 15 points to his credit. The most sensational shot of the night however was made in the opening quarter by Johnny DiBene- dictis who made his debut with the winners last night. Andrews stood out for the losers.

When the spring of 1884 rolls around, and the fancy of younger but older males turn to human emotions, it will be BASEBALL that will have scores of grammar school boys on their toes, with fer vent ambition to make the team" for official word has been received that the Grammar School league, which has been dormant for two years or 50, was not dead, but only sleeping, and will come back with a rush and a regular schedule. in April.
 Put It Over
 To Superintendent of Schools Thomas J. Condon, Supervisor of Recreation William J. Derwin and a committee of principals including Arthur J. Bucknam of Walsh, Mrs Florence Bailey Platt of Hopeville and Thomas J. Nolan of Webster must go the immediate credit of making possible the reorganization of the circuit, though one must not forget many other principals whose interest in their youngsters prompted them to lend their own committee every effort toward their objective, which was favor ably reported upon at yesterdays meeting of school principals.
 Those most interested in the re- formation of the league were pars ticularly surprised when ten prin- cipals agreed to put team on the field this year, after the matter of financial obligation has been ex- plained to them, and the amount needed to support a team for the season was realized to be negligible in comparison to what some of them imagined. As a result, Mary Abbott, Anderson, Duggan; Walsh, Sprague, Hopeville, Webster, Croft, Driggs, and Bunker Hill will ne represented with the possibility still alive that one other school may enter the circuit by the time the deadline on entries is Preached March 17th.
 Fine Viewpoint
 In relation to the arranged re- sumation of grammar school base ball, Superintendent Condon had the following to say: "I am very glad that so many schools have found 1t possible to enter the base ball league. After all, the boys | have plenty of surplus energy for which some legitimate outlet | should be found if we are to help them avoid dangerous associations. Then again, the knowledge that i they may play baseball will aid many of the boys improve in their studies for the game offers an in- centive toward their school work when they know they can play on a team, if their marks are high enough. Having been a baseball fan myself for many years, I can see nothing ahead but marked suc- cess for the Grammar School league, in view of the splendid CO., operation of all concerned and the effor put forth by MT Derwin in bringing back a condition which we all realize cannot result in other than physical and mental advance ment for the boys who play the game"
 MT Derwin will have direct supervision of the league, it's sched- ule and assignment of umpires. the only financial burden on the schools being the provision of base: balls

PRINCETONS PROVE
 EASY FOR CACLE COURT COMBINE
fsneclaI to The Democrntl

Watertown, Feb. 15-Though Chris Cagle, former Army and present Brooklyn professional foot ball luminary could not locate the nets more than once in three per iods, his All-Americans hung a SS- 29 defeat on the strong Princeton A. A. combine last night at the high school gym before four hun dred fans. Starting slowly, the CagierS looked only fair until a sizzling passing attack coupled with stellar shooting by Hassett, Smith and Synott, gave the visi- tors a 26-14 lead at half time.
 For a while in the third period, the Princet0ns found themselves, but not with any degree of consis- .tency as Hassett kept scoring, his total reached IS points at the finr ish of the game. For the Prince tons, Mort and Bryan Keilty with 13 and points were nigh.

CARD PLAYERS
 CALLING FRISCH
 M'CRAW JUNIOR
Methods of St Louis Man= ager Similar to Those of
 His Old Mentor
By FRED BAILEY
nitel Press Stan Correspondent)

(Un1teO FrcSS St0u COErcSpOnuenC)
 Chicago (UP)-Around the Ma tional League circuit baseball play CTS are calling Frankie Frisch, the "Fordham Flash" John J. Mc- Graw, Jr. They say he is more like the popular conception of Me- Graw than McGraw himself.
 Frisch, who took over the man. agerial reins of the St Louis Car dinals late last season, learned his baseball under McGraw on the New York Giants. He learned a lot of things that aren't in the rule books, too.
 McGraw's fiery tempeL pugna- cious aggressiveness and vitupera- tive oratory have become a tradi- tion in baseball. Frisch, baseball players say, gives every promise of carrying on from where the "Lit- tie Napoleon" left off.
 fF'risch, the player, and Frtsch, the manager, are so utterly differ ent that it Is hard to reconcile the two, Cardinal players say. As a player le was pretty much a law unto himself. Sports writers ac- cused him of "loafing."
 Despite that, Frisch always has been one of the greatest money players" When the going was toughest and the most was at stake tGe Fordham Flash was in there bearing down with all he had, his lumbago forgotten.
 AS a manager he is different in some ways. His men call hinl John McGraw, Jr," and mean it They insist that in his toughest days McGraw was no tougher, nc more sarcastic no more intolerant of failure, than Frank Francis Frisch.
 Yet, he has the unqualified Joy. atty of his players. They tell you he is fair and considerate and that his baseball is fundamentally sound. He is inspired by the burning desire to win. Frisch de- tests defeat.
 His scathing speech in the pri- vacy of the clubhouse after par ticularly distressing defeat makes McGraw, to those who knew him seem like a piker. He is not in. tolerant of mistakes due to inex. perience, but he detests the player who doesn't try. He wants players who take chances. On points of strategy he insists on his ideas being carried out implicitly. Jimmy Wilson, one of the gafne's greatest catchers was traded to Philadelphia because he failed to take chance.
 Watty Watkins was on third base, where Wilson was coaching in 8 game with Pittsburgh one aft ernoon, One man was out when 8 short fly hit to the Pittsburgh cen ter fielder Wilson held Watkins or third.
 When the inning ended Watkins still was on third. Frisch asked Wilson why he had not tried tt score. 'I didn't think he could make it." Wilson replied. T wan' men on my team who will take chances" Frisch snapped. "But he would have beer thrown out" Wilson insisted.
 "That's all right" retortee Frisch, epitomizing his baseball policy. Make lem throw us out That's the kind of baseball I want The next inning Wilson, ex coach, was on the bench. A rev months later he was sold 10 the Phillies.

NAUCATUCK BEATS

Roughness on Part of Both Clubs, Plus Erratic Play,
 Mars Game

Apparently washed up on one hand shots after their surprise vic- tory over Torrington Saturday, Crosby looked like 8 bunch of school kids last night as Nauga- tuck evened Valley league honors with q 28 to 21 victory before a fair-sized crowd at Wilby gym, most of whom were dissatisfied with the showing of the blue and white cagesters.
 During the 32 minutes of play Referee Johnny Cammarano of New Haven gave a total of 38 free throws, the Greyhounds making 10 of 21 good and Crosby missing eight in IF. The game was rough throughout and coupled with too much one-handed shooting by Johnny Griffin and Wilbur Dunn, was far from being interesting.
