YALE MEN DOMINATE
COLLEGE SWIMMING
Run Away With Preliminaries
to Give Ellis Is Chances
to Capture Titles.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 21.-Yale's
mighty mermen, winners Of Isl con-
secutive dual meets, appeared to have
a strangle hold on most Of the titles
today as the annual intercollegiate
Swimming Association championships
went into the second and final day of
competition.
As a result Of yesterdays prelimi:-
naries, the Ellis had Is chances to cap
ture titles, with Johnny Macionis and
Norris Hoyt heading the parade.
Princeton and Rutgers were the
closest threats with five qualiflers each
in the eight individual events. All
three also had teams in the finals Of
the 200-yard freshman relay.
Macionis, with q record-smashing
performance in the individual medley
and the fastest time in the 100-yard
free style, was the outstanding SWIM
mer in the trials, although Hoyt quail
fed in three events, the medley and
the 220 and 440 yard free style swins.
The slim sophomore from Philadelphia
cut nearly Z seconds from the inter-
collegiate medley record with time
Of 3:40.6. The listed time is 3:472.
His time for the 100 was 53.6 seconds.
An accident to Henry Fits, Harvard
diver, marred the preliminary compe-
tition. Fits, attempting difficult
one and one-half dive, slipped and
struck his head on the springboard.
He escaped with a slight conclusion,
but was ordered not to compete in
the finals.

the opposition to pick out the flaws
in a recruit whose success electrified
the crowds. But the second season,
when players have been shifted about
and notes have been compared, the
recruit star finds that if he has a
definite weakness he is shown no
favors.
The second reason lies in the re-
cruit's own mental state. A rookie,
lust for q fat contract, regular job
and dazzling press notices fresh in
his mind, fights with every atom of
determination and courage in his
makeup to make good in the first
year. The following season, with
the novelty worn of, he may lack a
little of his enthusiasm and drive.
THE averages bespeak the logic in
the sophomore-year theory. Hark
back to 1884, when Hal Trosky clouted
IS home runs and batted $3.50 for
Cleveland in his first season. What
did he do in 1885? He batted a
puny .271. He once went to bat Al
times without making hit and be-
came so desperate he switched to the
right side of the plate.
Lou Chiozza of the Phillies was an
other freshman star of 1884, with a
batting average of .304. Last year
his average dropped 20 points to .2S4.
Linus Frey of Brooklyn. q frst-year
shortstopping WOW, slumped from .2S4
in 1884 to 1862 in 1885.
Ray Pepper Of the Browns batted
.298 in 1894 and drove in 101 runs.

Because Of yesterdays cancellation,
Manager Bucky Harris was forced to
rearrange his pitching set-up. Jimmy
De Shong and Monte Weaver were to

Jack Russell and Henry Coppola be-
ing saved for tomorrow's game with
Chattanooga in Daytona Beach.
From now on. with a single excep-
tion, all pitchers will be expected to
be ready for half a game at least.
'It's time they began stretching" de-
clared Bucky. 'I want the fellows
who figure to help us most to get in
trim for nine innings of pitching as
soon as they can"
The lone exception is Earl White
hill, who probably will make his debut
on the slab Monday when the Ma
tionals return to Orlando to face Mon

Bolton Overweight.

DESPITE reporting to the Orlando
~ training camp with the first squad
of rockies, Bolton still is heavy with
fat and of late the stocky Tarheel
has been complaining of sinus trouble.
He has not been hitting but Griffith
is not worried on this score.
"Clif never did hit early In the
year." says Griff. Don't worry about
the fellows batting. At least, I'm
not. It's just a question of when he
will get in shape to fill the catching
job as it should be filled"
AS to Roy Spencer, veteran former
Griffman, whose purchase from Bal
timore was considered seriously by
Harris, the Washington club owner
is cold. 'I don't want him. declared
Griffith, even after his disappointing
interview with Mccarthy. Spencer
was with Washington for a few years
and I'm positive he won't help U.s."
Griffith refused to say whether his
attempt to pry a catcher from the
Yanks failed on account of his own
reluctance to talk trade. This, it is
felt, was the reason, but at the rate
Harris and Griff have been receiving
catching disappointments it would not
be surprising If the Nationals reopened
negotiations with the Yanks and
talked turkey.

SLAB CORPS BEST

Brooklyn Uncertain About

(This is another of q series out

BY PAUL NICHOLSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~ LEARWATER, Fla, March 2l.
The Dizziness Boys" from
Brooklyn may be the night
~ mares of the 1886 National
League pennant race.
Casey Stengel's crew, set of strange
faces to the rabid fans of Flatbush,
probably will tumble and stumble with
an uncertain infleld, but they'll spread
no little misery among the hot pen
nant contenders with one of the slick
est pitching staffs in base ball.
I'm not going around predicting
a penannt for my boys" said Casey,
but we're going to make the road
rocky for lot of ball clubs. My
pitching staff, I figure is the best
we've had at Brooklyn for years.
Infield Is Main Worry.
my BIG worry is the infield, but
AA I'm running my boys out there
in 24-hour shifts in an attempt to
get good lineup. I also have some
worries about the outfield, but have
lot of talent"
Acquisition Of Fred Farmhouse and
Dutch Brandt from Boston have
rounded out the hurting staff. Van
Lingle Mungo. the fire-baller, will be
the number one man, assisted by
Brandt, Farmhouse, Watson Clark
and big George Earnshaw.
Emil Leonard, 6-foot right-hander,
also is slated for a regulars berth
with his old teammate, Raymond
Berres, to catch him.
Tom Baker, husky right-hander from
Allentown; Harry Eisenstat, rookie
from Dayton; Albert Butcher, winner
OF "a for Galveston in '35, and the
ever-reliable Tom Zachary, 39-year-
old relief ace, complete the staff.
Fight for First-Base Job.
EVERY spot in the infield, however,
49, is open except shortstop, where
Linus Frey expects to operate. Bud
Hassett, the crooner: Dick Seibert and
Randy Moore all are candidates for
first base.
Vince Sherlock. obtained from In
dianapolis, should plug up the second
base hole. Jersey Joe Strip, q hold
out, may have to battle to keep his
job at third away from Jim Bucher, a
converted outfielder, who can give the
ball ride.
E. Gordon Fatty) Phelps, who hit
1854 last season until he broke his
right hand, and Berres should hold up
a catching staff weakened by the trade
of AL Lopez to Boston.
Casey can hardly guess his outfield
at this time, but it may be Fred Lind
strom, John Cooney, 35-year-old vet
eran from Indianapolis, and Oscar
Eckhardt, 34-year-old rookie from the
Missions.

Wanted Hershberger.

THOSE in close contact with Griffith,
= however, firmly were Of the
opinion that Washington would land
a new catcher of some description in
the next few days, but whether he will
come from another major league club
or will be bought from the minors was
a matter of conjecture. 1t is doubtful
If Griffith, himself, knows where his
hoped-for backstopping strength Is
coming.
The object Of Grifhth's search for
catching strength yesterday really was
the 25-year-old Hershberger, minor
league standout. His second choice
mostly so, perhaps, because Grif rates
Glenn and Baker as sure shots to stick
with New York-was Jorgens. Re-
Gently Jorgens' name was on the waiver
bulletin, but when Grif tried to draw
out Mccarthy on Jorgens' status he
was doomed to disappointment.
The Yankee manager, after first
hemming and having in what night
have been the old come on" for a
trade talk, finally wound up, according
to Griffith. by throwing cold water on
the washington boss hopes of gaining
a receiver at least via waivers.
What course Grifhth now will take
is uncertain, of course, but there is
no question that the Washington club
will redouble its efforts. Griffith and
Manager Harris went into lengthy
conference last night and it is be-
lieved that they either will attempt
to swing O deal for backstop or comb
the minors and make q purchase.
If it Is necessary to deal for major
league receiver it would not be sur
prising If Cliff Bolton, No. maskman
Of the Nationals, were placed on the
block. With the Griffs swinging into
the home stretch Of their training
season, Harris Is regarding the CATCH
ing situation with q growing sense of
concern. Bucky never was impressed
with any of his reserve catchers, in
cluding Sam Holbrook, and Bolton
lately has been showing no signs of
improving. AS matter Of fact, Boil
ton is not In condition.
Even Grifith is willing to admit
that Cliff, whom he refused to trade
during the Winter for frankie Pytlak.
is strictly gamble. 'He would have
chance to I'LL the BILL" said the Old
Fox today, "if he were in any kind
Of shape. But Cliff Is far from the

TAMPA, Fla, March Alt might
surprise you to know that
Alvin (Jake) Powell, who bat
- ted .312 last year and looks
the part of an even better ball player
now, is the guy whom his own team
mates regard as a gamble as big as
any other regular on the Washington
ball club.
Jake has done nothing to sub
stantiate this rating so far. Elevated
to the position of cleanup" hitter
of the Nationals. Powell is more than
living up to expectations in Grape
fruit League competition. The oppo-
sition hasn't been able to get the
