Soden, Brooklyn tax appraiser and
ardent sports fan, is being talked
about as the next president of his
borough The National league
may add Andy Kolk, an umpire let
out by the International, to its staff
this summer. Pretty good man, too.
Because so many customers think
he was robbed during the Montanez
fight Lightweight Champion Lou
Ambers, who previously never had
been much of a drawing card, now
should be one of the best gate at
fractions.
Winnie Richards again has been
invited to coach the Australian Da-
Wis cup team in preparation for the
Aussie's North American zone finals
with the United States at Forest
Hills May 1881. His acceptance de-
pends upon whether or not he goes
abroad. He offered his services to
the Americans but was ignored in
favor of George Lott and Karl Koze-
luh even though Davis Cup Com
mittee Chairman Walter Pate cred
tied the Australians victory last
year to Vinnie's tutoring Bill
Tilden must really be cracking up
at last. The other day he remarked
that he was tempted to pile all his
racquets in the center of the court
and make bonfire of them.
Dick Gill, Boston colleges gas
house blond, is due for plenty Of
showing around on the intercollegi-
ate tracks this spring. Eddie O'Bri-
en- and Jim Herbert are reported as
still being exceedingly sore over the
way he elbowed and jostled the
slender Charlie Beetham in a re-
cent meet Although he is best
celebrated as a football center, Ivy
league pitchers are worried about
the hitting prowess of DartmOuths
Mutt Ray Jake Flowers, who
might have been a great infielder ii
he had not been troubled by ill
health during his DOdger and Cardi-
nal days, now has entirely recov-
cred. He weighs 1872 pounds and is
seeking either to manage Glass b
team or play in the international
league Mrs. Payne Whitney,
the Greentree lady, must be Amer
ica's ace turf fan. Her friends claim
she reads every single line about
racing in every paper and magazine
published in this country.
If Ken Sandbach, the Princeton
quarterback, does turn pro he is
more likely to go with Brooklyn
than with the Giants. That is be-
cause he should get more chance to
play with the Dodgers, who need a
good quarterback and passer, while
the Giants are somewhat averse to
showing first-year pro performers
into their regular lineup. Both clubs
are bidding for him, though, and it
also is gossiped that alumni are
making attractive business offers to
keep him away from the pay-for-
play sport Col. Matt Winn, the
Kentucky Derby impresario, has
ten grandchildren. Two of the boys
are under sixteen years of age and
have viewed eleven Derbies. The
colonel, incidentally, first viewed
the Louisville show in 1875 from
atop his fathers grocery wagon.
In spite of the pressure being put
upon them, the New York boxing
commissioners are unlikely to 0kay
a R0ss-MOntanez bout. Aside from
a few little trifies such as contracts
signed for other bouts the commits
sioners figure that Ross, welter-
weight, and MOntanez, light
weight, have sufficient OppOrtuni-
ties for diversion in their own
classes Tab Bob Young, u. C.
L. A. quarter-miler, as one of the
prospective bests of the track sea-
son. The fellow is due to be warmer

mems strike in Puerto Rico they
were seeking United States horses
to use as strike breakers Could
it be that the Cards are pulling all
those Off-the-field stunts in the effort
to make themselves forget their own
On-the-field weaknesses? The Pi-
rates, before returning to Forbes
field, covered approximately $3.50
miles since starting their training
trip to California.
