MARKS IN DANGER
IN n. Y. A. c. MEET
New Shotput Record Held
Certain-Racers, Jumpers
Threaten Figures.

BY the Associated Press.
ME-, W. YORK OR VI, February n ILL.,. Ill.,
Oldest of the indoor meets,
will be renewed for the sixty
seventh time Saturday night with one
world record virtually in the bag and
four more in serious danger.
As track men have it doped out,
the world indoor record for the shot
put will almost certainly 60 into the
discard and the indoor records for the
half mile, the mile, the high jump
and the pole vault also may be dis
placed.
Jack Torrance, 300-pound Behemoth
from Louisiana State, is the DOGGY
man" who promises to do the present
shotput record no good whatever.
Torrance holds the outdoor record of
81 feet inch and Leo Sections indoor
record of 50 feet 87s inches appears
to have no chance whatever Of sur
viving the huge Southerner's mighty
losses.

Olympic rules provide the single

Colgate, like Brown, is out for four

Jumpers After Records.

TT WAS in this event that Bon
thorn scored his hair-raising VIC
tory over Cunningham last Winter
and the Princetonian will be out to
repeat, especially in view of the bad
beating he took in the Wanamaker
mile Of the Millrose games, when he
finished third behind Cunningham
and Venzke.
On the same theory track experts
figure possible new world standards
in the high Jump and pole vault. In
the latter event, Keith Brown, Yale
star, always is threat to displace
his own record of IA feet inches. In
the high jump, Cornelius johnson,
who has come East to wage winning
duel with George Spitz Of New York,
likewise is constantly challenging Wal
ter Marty's record Of feet 80 inches.
johnson barely knocked the bar over
at feet 9 inches in a record try at
the Millrose games.

American League Puzzles.

THlS American League is a tough
one to figure" the sage OF
Broadway was muttering to
himself the other evening when ]
entered his laboratory. I'D give a
lot to see Grove throw just a few in
practice. He might win a pennant
for that Boston club if he was
really right.
"I would also be interested in
knowing just how far Washington
is going to come back this year.
l have to count them off on the
Cronin deal and I have to count
them up on the chance that they'll
get better breaks than they did
last year.
Some of the boys tell me that the
Athletics ought to 60 above Washing
ton, somewhere around fifth place.
But there are plenty Of ifs about that
club-if Higgins signs, if Foxx'S hit
ting holds up, if the young pitchers
develop.
And talking about ifs, take a look
at the Yankees. They generally man.
age to turn out a strong club when
the season starts, but they have their
problems. Their pitching is all rncer-
tain, outside of Gomez and Ruting.
They have Gehrig, Crosetti and not
much else in the inf1eld. And who
will they play for Ruth?
"The Giants are the problem
club in the National League. You
have to figure them somewhere
between their 1888 speed and
their form at the end Of last sea-
son.
"You have to compromise with
them. Also, they say that Brooklyn
will be much improved. I want to
know how much.'

THESE and similar items were
disturbing Mr.. Doyle's peace of
mind, but, since there is no way
of getting hard facts in February, Mr..
Doyle carried on and scratched game
ly away at his notebook.
How are you going to beat the

odd but efficient ball club at the

Sees Game Too Dangerous.
1.-THE element of danger alone
would turn me against night
ball, if nothing else. Imagine
standing up against the fast ones of
Walter johnson, Lefty Grove or
Schoolboy Rowe.
From what have heard, players
in minor leagues alternating day and
night games haven't been very keen
about the arc light stuff. Most of
them dislike the idea cordially. It
upsets their nervous systems, disrupts
their diets and affects their play.
IF the National League wants to
switch on the lights, let it go to it.
That will make the American League
the only real big league in the coun-
try"
Cronin sizes up the American
League race this season as a merry
scramble" with six clubs in the thick
of it. Cleveland, Detroit, New York,
Philadelphia, Washington and his
own team can hoist the pennant next

his opinion.

Cronin. $50 would foot ball on roller
skates. 1t still doesn't make night
base ball a good game, in my opinion.
They have been playing it nearly
a hundred years in day time. It has
survived the worst depressions and
made money. I DON'T know of any
reason now why they should start
making circus side show of it. It's
game where the quickness Of the

CarstOn's Bribe

Young departed. Carston
watched the ashes Of his books
watt out the window, blow and
scatter beyond q trace. He closed
the door Of jules two-room habi-
tat and went up q flight of stairs
and to his own headquarters. In
the outer room, waiting for him,
sat Bill Bradford.
"Carston," hoarSed Bill, jump
ing up; you know they've got
Julie?"
"Yeh. Slipped it over on me
while they held me anSwerin'
questions in the U. s. D. AS Of
flee that Shirley Tempted
o'yawned at. But I sent Young
to do a Houdini for her. So don't
worry about your babe. Hold
dinner open-Shell be here"
Bradford fought hard to re-
press a smile. The egotiStical
equanimity of this buzzard was
colossal. But Bill was too pleased
to burn-pleaSed that Carston
had no suspicion of how he had
been tricked, his books damn1ng-
ly photographed, Julie ready, on
advice of the District Attorney, to
refuse any overtures for her re-
lease and to do just what the
Shrewd Young had foreseen as a
remote technical poSsibility-re-
pudiate him as any attorney Of
hers, leaving him powerleSS to
proceed.
Moreover, CarSton obviously
had no suspicion that Bill, acting
as a special agent of the Treas
ury Department, had been the
prime factor in it all.
Thanks, Carston, "he tossed
off. There were certain phases
Of this thing that had me wor-
ried."
"Say, I'm the one should thank
you. That phone tip that the
Feds were craShin' down on me
an that it was income tax they
had up their sleeve, helped. {.

talk-an' they can talk their

Carston moved over, closer to
Bradford.
"Yeh. You know, Bill, I always
