three weeks in which to absorb
their training on that winding
course through the French cOun-

But they picked it up fast, eSpe-
ciaIly Murphy. He had one &C.
cident in training, smashed
three or four ribs and drove the
race laced up like a plump ma
trOn of the early ninetieS.
But the three weeks of prac-

up under the tests of accelera-

all the other phases of road rae
ing which speedway driving
does not call for and which will
be necessary at Roosevelt Race

"New American cars are being
built for the Roosevelt Raceway
event and the drivers are study
ing the course. Lou Meyer and
Wild Bill Cummings have seen
the course in construction and
neither is willing to cOncede a
thing to the Europeans, although
they admit this will be the stiff

tried.
But personally, I don't be.

Washington injected dash Of

the second straight time, 7 to 3,
driving Johnny Broaca to the

improve its second place position

lWlth an error. tlnally ne scored

Tony Lazzeri says he intends to
retire at the end Of this season.
He has been in the majors for II
years, has made an enviable rec
ord and now is ready for the rock
ing chair, the spaghetti and the

That Is what Tony says. The
probabilities are that he will be
right back at second base for the
Yankees.
Travis glided back into right
field and took care of Selkirk's
pop fly. Reynolds, charging in
for the ball, narrowly averted a
serious collision with Travis.
Metropolitan sports writer's are
now saying that Lewis would look
very nice at third base for the
Giants. And that, me heartieS, is
the positive truth.
The hardest hit ball of the day,
or one of the hardest hits of the
day, was by Carl Reynolds when
he lined to Chief Siwash johnson
in the fifth.
Another pippin for being we'll
tagged was by Joe DiMaggio who
blasted one down the alley in the
third inning.
Miles is nothing that could be
called a slugger, but he keeps right
on pumping hits into the outfield,
and that helps him to hold his
job.
Lewis made a remarkable catch
of a foul fly by Heffner in the
second inning. going deep into
left field and leaning over a box
to make his grab.

not be this year. but some one OF
these days before long, contracts
will be let, and the left field wing
of the present grandstand will be
extended to meet the right field
wing now under construction.
AS Colonel Rupert visualizes
the extension to the stands, the
outfield sweep will be roofleSs
mezzanine, and will provide some
thing in excess Of 10000 seats.
This will bring the capacity of the
stadium to something in excess
of 100000 for baseball, 10000 for
football, and perhaps $4,000 for
fights.
II don't know just when we
will continue the extensions
planned, but one of these days
we will circle the field with a

NATURALLY there can be no
restriction on voluntary effort.
Most bOys-saveS guards, whO'
for some reason, don't crave
the feel of a ball-will kick
and pass in their spare time.
Few, indeed will run through
the fundamentals Of bodily
contact, the tackle and the
block. Nor should they, with
out equipment. And. of course,
the equipment will be locked
up, won't it?
Need No Football
"The most important ninety
five percent of the game can be
learned without having a foot
ball in sight. Will time be
taken from the moment the
balls are distributed?
"DeSPite the precautions as to
physical examinations, some
youngsters are going to get
hurt this year because they
have not perfected their bodily
techniqueS. There will be, for
this reason, an unusually large
number of dislOcated shoulders,
black-and-bIue short ribs, and
twisted ankles. These will be-
long to the boys who did their
stuff awkwardly, if effectively,
because the coach didn't have
enough time to criticiSe each
move. Few realize, without this
criticism, their own deficiencies.
Chance For Many
"But there are a number Of
youngsters, light, weedy, and
slow afOOt, who are going to
have a chance this year. That's
important. They can make
much of their opportunity II
they will build themselves up
during the summer.
That doesn't mean learning ia

stuff. They shouldn't worry
about tactics and formations
Their coaches will tell them
more than they can remember
But lucky is the coach whose
team knows the ruleS-inSide

"The One-spOrt rule is good
