Bumper Crop of Sore Arms.
1t has been an exceptionally windy
spring, up until the last few days,
forcing the clubs to take hurry
up workouts and causing a bumper
crop of sore arms and other mus
cular aches Some managers are
very glum about their mems condi-

eran pitchers. Most of them when
asked how things are going say they
don't know that they haven't had a

There Is considerable interest in
the new Giant team. and around
here they think it might be a real
factor in the National League race.
At least. they all are wishing Man.

Vie in Columbian Mile;
Georgetown in Race
Of Swift Relays
By HAROLD CLAASSEN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, March l4.-Metro-
politan track fans have hurried to
the box Office with almost the same
speed they expect Leslie Mac
Mitchell and Gil Dobb to show to-
night in their Columbian mile duel.
Not Since Wednesday has there
been a ticket unsold for any OF the
reserved seats in huge Madison
Square Garden.
Two weeks ago Dodds ruined a
neck-and-neck thriller between the
two by scampering through his third
quarter in 81 seconds and building
up a 15-yard lead. MacMitchell
couldn't get all the distance back
and lost for the first time in 19
starts. The time was 4:087.
That Immediately set up tonight's
race, feature event of the 23d an
nual knights of Columbus games.
Dodds' victory was his first ap-
pearance of the season as miller,
and since then the Boston divinity
student has pounded through a
4:l5.7 mile on an unbanked oval at
Washington without spikes while
MacMitchell took the I. C.-4A title
in 4:147.
There will be two other starters.
Jim Rafferty,, once of Frodham, and
Gene Venzke of the New York A. C..
While some experts see the posi-
bility of a time less than the indoor
competitive mark of 4:074, others
point to the Columbian mile of 1884
when Glenn Cunningham, Bill Bon
thron and others In handpicked
field slumbered through 4:468
effort because no one wanted to set
the pace.
Dodds, minus a finishing kick,
hardly can hope to win a slow race
tonight and is expected to take the
lead at the outset.
Other events on the program also
have attractive entry lists. Greg
Rice, the little perpetual motion
machine from Notre Dame. figures
to win the 2-mile run although he
competes against Walter Mehl. who
bested Rice in May, 1910, for his
last track loss.
John Borican, the portrait-paint-
ing speedster, will compete in both
the 600 and 1O00-yard races, both
of which he won a year ago, while
AL Blozis and Earle Meadows are
expected to chalk up routine tri-
umphs in the shotput and pole vault,
respectively.
In the relay competitions the four
fastest teams of the Eastern indoor
season-Colgate, Georgetown. Ford
ham and Villanova-will compete in
the mile while Fordham and Seton
Hall are in the 2-mile.

Originally scheduled to entertain

But even should the Western race
