Indoor Play
Troubles Riqqs

NEW YORK, Feb. %. (UP)-
Bobby Riggs of Chicago, the ma
tion's No. l amateur tennis player,
meets S. Ellsworth Davenport OF
Forest Hills, N Y, today in the
quarter final round of the national
indoor singles championships.
Despite two hours of practice
for every hour of match play. Riggs
has been in difficulties with second
rate opponents several times, due,
he says, to the difference between
indoor and outdoor play. He says
the ball comes off the floor like
a rocket, the lighting is tricky and
he has to scramble for shots that
would be set-ups outdoors. He is
favored, however, to win the title
in his first indoor tournament.

deal of player fatigue would be
avoided.
Tightening the major league
schedule has long been a matter
of interest to McPhail. He realizes
that the long season is necessary
under the present conditions in
order that the owners may get in
enough games to show a profit.
But now he secs air travel as the
means Of getting in just as many
games without having the season
open in the cold and wet of early
April and not close until the cold
and unsettled weather of late Sep
tember and early October
The general manager of the
Dodgers has gone far enough in
the negotiations with the Airline
to consider the matter of insur-
ance; and has found that players
can buy trip insurance as cheap
as when travelling by rail. The rate
is twenty five cents for $4,000 He
can also take out air insurance on
each player at the rate of $40 for
$4,000.
Even the daffiest of the Dodgers
can be shown the time saved by
flying team. The approximate
time required for travelling TOO
miles by rail is l3 hours against
little more than three hours by
plane. Just what Manager Leo Dur
ocher, the stockholders of the club
and the worshipping fans think
of transporting the precious Brook
lyn ivory through the air is not
known.
If the Dodgers take to the air,
and the experiment is a success,
it is certain to reopen an issue
which is of keenest interest in this
section of the country. l mean a

rounds-with a long. looping upper
cut which all the world knows,
now. as the "bolo punch.
Far less impressive was Henry

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26. CUP)-
Larry McPhail. general manager of
the Brooklyn Dodgers and base
balls outstanding pioneer, plans to
abandon travel by train this sea-
son and fly his team to all of It's
out of town engagements.
The red-headed Irishman who
brought night baseball 10 the big
leagues already has opened negoti-
ations with TWA concerning the
rental of a ship or ships for the
exclusive use of the Dodgers. Ac-
cOrdIng to TWA officials an entire
baseball team could be flown IN
one Of the 33-pasSenger four motor
BOcing StratolinerS which the COM
pany will use in inauguratlng high
altitude flying early in June. Until
this ship is put into operation the
Dodgers could be Accommodated in
two Douglas sleeper planes.
The use of planes by athletic
units is not an entirely new thing.

of her ice follieS two years ago,
flew the Detroit Red Wings hockey
team to New York the same year,
and last year flew the Pittsburgh
Panthers football team to Seattle
for it's opening game of the season.
McPhail, while he is not one to
overlook the publicity that would
go with a flying baseball team, is
not primarily interested in plane
travel for that reason. His view is
that if all major league clubs start
ed flying the playing schedules
could be considerably tightened
with a resultant increase in income
He also believes that it would be
cheaper, what with a decrease in
hotel bills. Too, he thinks great
