 Here and There
By PAUL sCHEFFELS

NObshsSeA hhoN9 SNohA VSHbSSBSsSe9O~sV
 New York, April 3o--(UP)-Notel from the baseball circuit:
 The action of Manager Casey 9tengel in investing some of hii own money in the Boston Bees es c stockholder has SO few parallels in modern baseball history that < Is almost unique. Only Bob Quinn of the same club, Connie Mack oi the Philadelphia Athletics and Clark 0rifilth of the Washington Senators are former players who have administrative posts with ma jor league bail clubs ..
 Pepper Martin, former St. Louis Cardinal star, is not playing favor. ites in his now post as manager or the Sacramento Solons Martin recently failed to get hit in four straight games and developed ha. bit of hitting into double plays .. |. So he promptly benched himself ,.
 Only two baseball clubs ever were nicknamed after players One was Cleveland, called the "Naps" after Napoleon Lajoie and the other was Brooklyn, named the Robins" under Wilbert Robinson.
 If shifting of Babe Dahlgren to the Boston Bees and Johnny Hud- son to Montreal doesn't bring a change in the big league waiver rule, probably nothing will Both were slipped by the other clubs. | Dahlgren under the noses of several American League pilots and Hudson past almost as many National League managers, only because waivers were withdrawn every time they were claimed In the end, clubs got tired claiming, and both were released ...
 It seems logical to assume that the army may furnish the big leagues with almost as many good rockies as they draft out of base ball All the draftees will get regular meals, will be exercised into fine physical condition and will be offered the best of Athletic equip- ment Teams will be formed in every camp and boys who never be. fore had the chance, will take lusty cuts at curve balls With Major Leaguers as coaches, these games should produce . few good newcon- CTS, at least.
 Aside from Manager Bill Terry, Catcher Harry Danning of the Giants Is the only member of the team to room alone on road trips Don Padgett, heavy.hitting St. Louis Cardinal player, has played almost every position on the club and as Q catcher is currently having Q hard job busting Rookie Walker Cooper Several players believe that's because Padgett telegraphs what he is going to receive .. For example, on . curve ball he draws his right leg back and for Q fast ball, he keeps his feet together.

YALE MAY TRY NEW
 GRID EXPERIMENT
Players to Run One Game Without Coaching If Op-
 pOnents Will Agree

New Haven, Conn, April 30 = (UP) = Yale University's football players may get a chance to run their own team during one of the regularly-scheduled games this fall, ogden Miller, Eli athletic director, said today.
 Under the plan, the Yale coaches would retire into the grandstand as soon as the game started, and would remain there until the final whistle. Head Coach Emerson Spike" Nel- son said 1t was ''okay" with him.
 But there was one hitch.
 Miller said the consent of the opposing team would have to be ob- tained before the experiment was tried. Moreover, the athletic direc- tor didn't say definitely the experi- ment would be undertaken, but only I'm willing to give 1t Q try"
 He definitely was interested, how- ever, Miller said, and would give the matter @ great deal of thought.
 Yale has eight games scheduled this fall. with Virginia, Penn, Army, Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell, Prince ton and Harvard.
 Alumni quarters originally started the demand to "let the boys run their own game" Letters were sent In to the front office, and some made their appearance in college periodicals.

CITY LEAGUE JUMPS,
 SCHEDULE LISTED
Costaldo, Guglielmo and Slattery to Call Elm;
 TOfrifiies vs Hearts

Two new u1npries and one league veteran, Leno Costello will "call 'em as they see 'em" during the forth coming City Amateur League base- ball season, Charley duglielmo and Pat slattery having been named to work with Costaldo. Selection of untpires and opening day plans for Sunday, May Il, were made last night at meeting of managers in the YM.C.A. with the inaugural schedule also approved and which will brinf together the Tribunes and Brooklyns and Washington Hills-O Overlooks in 2 o'clock games and the defending champion North End Thomas Club to meet the Sacred Hearts in the 1 o'clock feat. lire ct Municipal Stadium.
 Chief To Rest
 Bill stanton, chief umpire of the league for many years, was not re- appointed, because he did not apply for work in the circuit this season, according to reports from managers. At that, he received two votes, with Pat Slattery finally being chosen, on the assumption that Stanton wishes to "take 1t easy" this sea- son as . fan rather than an umpire.
 Francis McInerney avs named one of two official scorers, with one more to be named at next Mondays meeting, at which time policemen to work ct the Sunday games will also be selected.

TIMELY TENNIS TOPICS By the
 United State Lawn Tennis Association
PRACTICE BOARD PRACTICE

Marked improvement in forehand and backhand drives results from frequent use of a practice board An obvious advantage of Q practice board Is that the player can get excellent practice by himself in over- coming Q particular weakness which keuuiree attention. Even the expert tournament player finds the practice board invaluable In providing Q defl- nite way to overcome faults in his strokes.
 The practice board should be as wide as a single court If space per- mits with c pointed line across the board to represent the height of the net. Three. or more disks may be pafhted six to twelve inches above the net line, at positions where the bail should cross the net on cross court drive and Q drive straight down the lines. These disks or tar- gets are so placed to teach accuracy in driving, since the player tries to hit the target In returning the ball to the board. They are particularly helpful to the more advanced player. The side of a house, barn or garage vill serve as temporary practice board. If 1t is not convenient to paint lines on such structures inch- wide, white tape can be tackled up as Q substitute and heavy paper disks used. Full instructions for erecting a permanent practice board for the use of schools. Guhs, col- leges, etc, may be secured by writ. ing to the United States Lawn Tennis Association, 120 Broadway New York, N. Y.
 Reports from Moscow are to the effect that Russian tennis players have developed a new form of the ganne. A regulation court Is laic out on ice and with three skaters Cn side. The rules, net ailC rackets are the same as in regula. ton tennis. It Is presumed that tht game played Is doubles, the addi. tonal man on each side of the net being provided as extra coverage oi court due to the more difncult meth. cd Of locomotion. Because of the Bliort Soviet summer, Ice play t proving popular and a number ol the more expert Russian tennk players are demonstrating almost as innu:h skill on skates as on clay.

WRESTLING AT NEW
 BRITAIN FRIDAY

New Britain, April 30-workmen at the Stanley Arena here are bus fly engaged these days in adding extra strength to the underpinning of the ring used weekly at the wrestling cards. The main reason for the precaution is the fact that Big Ben Morgan. levathan of the mat clan, will make his first ap. pearance here Friday night. He will meet "I,ord" Albert Mills and these two. with the referee. will aggre- gate more than 500 pounds of buoncing human flesh in the ring at one time. Twice already the ring has broken under the strain of flying tackles but 1t was repaired in rather easy fashion. Those in charge are taking no chances that the entire platform will fall down. Morgan and Mills are scheduled to clash in the semi-final bout. c 30 minute, time limit affair, to the George (Timothy) Linnehan- Steve (Crusher) Casey feature which goes to the best two out of three falls. Morgan weighs 330 pounds and Mills tips the scales at mere 260 pounds.
 Casey, a private in the United States Army and stationed at Fort Constitution. Portsmouth, N. H., will be making his second appear ance here since he enlisted in the service. Linehan, always . pleas- ing, if not Q favorite performer, earned the right at c main spot on the card by his work in two matches against 'Dropkick" Mur- phy.

We car, dispose this controversy saying that Louis

Louis in action and that means a nice piece of change for the Brown Bomber and Q neat profit for Pro- l1loter Mike Jacobs. Louis will aban- don his campaign of betting the boys over once month the minute the customers start staying away from the box once. You know, supply and demand, caveat ernptor, laisSez faire and all that sort Of thing. "'
 Undetermined
 As to whether Buddy Baer Is . bigger bum than Max your corre- spondent is not prepared to say un. til he collects some more evidence There should be a reasonable amount of data available toward midnight of May g when the Louis- Baer cossliict Is over. There's no use digging up BuddyS record and trying to find out. for it's as spotty as a boarding house tablecloth. For instance. Buddy suffered technical knockout at the hands of Qunnar Barlund who lost hat awful thing out in Chicago recently to Billy Conn. On the other hand. Buddy knocked out Abe Simon in three rounds, and Simon Is the gent who looked good enough in losing to Louis to earn @ return bout.
 One thing is certain-Buddy iS 90. ing to have to be exceptionally bum- nisin to equal the bummish per- formance Max gave against Louis In 1885. That was the evening that Max tok the Brown Bomber's joltS for almost four rounds and then was counted out while resting corn- fortably on one knee. Maxie has thrown Q lot of leather since that evening and has made Q lot of money in the ring, but every time he gets to the point where 1t seems that Louis is his next logical oppo- nent, something happens and Max goes back to California.
 No two men ever walked the earth with better physical equipment to become e heavyweight champion than the brothers Baer. And Max, big as he is and strong as he was in his younger days, iS almost Q midget alongside Buddy.
 Extra Long Reach
 The younger Baer stands 6 feet, 6 1-2 inches tall and will outweight Louis by about 70 pounds. He has an incredible reach of 84 inches, which should enable him to hold any opponent of with his left while he bangs away with his right. And there is plenty of kick in that right if Buddy could only make up his mind to wade in and start throwing 1t.
 Something that you can't see weight or measure has kept botl, the Baers from developing into stand-out fighters. You can't see 4 because it's something hidden deer in their minds, not necessarily feas but rather the absorlce of any urge to punch twice as hard when the going gets tough and stay in thorl until somebody falls. If . spari should happen to light a flame 1T the mind of Buddy next month { should be quite fight and thingl no longer will be quiet along tho Potomac. But don't count on 1t, past performance shouts s.No."

IVY GROUP HAS
 PLAN TO SPREAD. LOOP CONTROL
Swaftz and McCarter t Submit Ideas to Annual
 Convention

New York, April 30.-(UP)-- Drastic revisions Of the adminis- trative setup Of the intercollegiate A. A. A. A. to eliminate the Ivy league from voting control and substitute . strean-lined, seven- college executive committee, will go before the annual convention May %, Secretary-Treasurer Asa 8. Bushnell said today.
 The new system is the proposal of the Ivy league itself. H. Jarni- son 9warts and William H. McCsr- ter, athletic directors of Penn end Dartmouth respectively. authored a proposed new constitution which has been mailed to all members.
 Rotation
 The first change would re-ar- range the present board of l2 col- leges, six of which are permanent embers--Harvard, Yale, Prince ton, Penn, Cornell and Columbia plus the three winners of the indoor and outdoor track and cross-cour- try titles and three others selected from the remaining members on . rotating basis. The new setup would have only two members TO- tating annually from the charter group the outdoor IC4A winner and four colleges chosen in rotation from the remaining membership. Another change would solidify the organization as whole. Each col- lege now is entitled to two dele- gates, one of whom must be an yIl- dergraduate. The new code cuts loose entirely from the student body. Each college will be entitled to one representative named by its athle- tic director and he need not be all undergraduate.
 The new constitution requires 8 two-thirds vote for adoption.
