away when he broke the tape a good
six yards in front of the Swedish
olympian, Erik Ahlden.
Like his countryman, Bengtsson,
Ahldens defeat was his first in
three appearances in this country.
Reiff came here only two weeks ago
but travelled the new boards in the
garden oval as If he owned them.
Fred Wilt of the New York Ath-
letic Club, former Indiana star, was
third. only two yards behind Ahlden,
and Curt Stone of the Shanahan
Catholic Club of Philadelphia was
distant fourth. Bob Black of
Rhode Island State brought up the
rear.
The University of Maryland's
crack mile quartet of Paul Ostrye,
Mario Salvanelli, George MCGOWAN
and Ed Matthews romped home a
winner in the Section B race in
good time of 1898. Coach Jimmy
Kehoe's men were in command all
the way.
Georgetown was not as fortunate.
Coach Hap Hardell's Hoyas came
acropper on the last lap of the
leg when Vincent Cino, lead-of
man, fell. He recovered and tried
to get back in the race but his
team was hopelessly out of it when
the baton was passed. Seaton Hall
won the race in 1903, with New
York U. second.
Georgetown's 2-mle team ran
second in its race.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 29.-Don
Black, the pitcher who was struck
out by a serious injury, came back
today.
Bill Vseck, president Of the Cleve-
land Indians, took a look at the
latest medical report and signed
the Tribe hurler to 1949 contract.
With a big grin, Black signed
on the dotted line for a salary
that was the same as last year. "
The figure wasn't announced.
II couldn't very well ask for a
raise, could II" quipped the In
dian pitcher.
Veeck had refused to listen to
Blacks entreaties until today. He
maintained he could not take any
responsibility for placing a players
life in jeopardy, and had told
Black that while he hoped for
his recovery, he could not sign
him as a player.
Black was at the plate in Cleve-
lana, STADIUM september 10,
against the st. Louis Browns, as
the Tribe drove down the home
stretch toward the American League
Pennant and the Word Champion
ship. Something snapped and he
collapsed.
Doctors found he had suffered
an aneurysm-a broken artery
at the back of the brain. For a
time he was critically i'll. From a
hospital bed he heard the Indians
were shaving a Don Black Night.
and later listened to the world
series by radio, but did not fully
comprehend what was going on.
After six weeks he was released
from the hospital, but suffered
continual headaches.

League Commissioner Q. o. KeSSing,
swept out Coach Ed McKeever after
a lamentable one-season showing.
The Rockets won one game and
lost Is.
Flaherty thus returns to the new
league. He coached the New York
Yankees during 1916 and 1947 be-
fore quitting the AAC in a row with
Owner Dan Topping early last sea-
son.
The genial 44-year-old native of
Hayden Lake, Idaho, had entered
the All-America Conference after
seven coaching seasons with the
Washington Redskins, whom he di-
rected to two National Football
League titles.
Flaherty said he had signed one
year Rocket contract, but did not
disclose his salary.
McKeever, signed for three years
at total of SOS, 900. must settle with
the league for the remaining two
years of his pact, Kessing said.
Selection Answers Challenge.
Flaherty's selection was the ALL
Americas answer to the challenge
of dragging the inept Chicago entry
up by the bootstraps for a Chicago
box office showdown with the Ma
tional's powerful Bears and Car
dinals.
Flaherty said his new coaching
staff and player personnel-includ-
ing an undisclosed number from the
merged Brooklyn-New York City
club-would be revealed along with
the identity of new Rocket owner
ship next Tuesday.
The new Chicago franchise, as
previously announced by the league,
includes 100000 already ION the
line" for 1949 operations.
Flaherty said the Chicago club
would have a new deal" from top
to bottom, including a new name.
Red said he will install his favored
single wingback offensive on the
erstwhile Information Rocket club.
Ironically, the present Rocket roster
includes Halfback Dewey Proctor
and Tackle Nate johnson, two Yam
kee players Flaherty gave to the
Rockets last year.
Consistent Winner with Skins.
Flaherty has been coaching pro-
fessionally since 1896, excepting q
three-year hitch in the Navy from
1943 through 1945.
A former star end and assistant
coach with the New York Giants,
the Gonzaga product entered the
head coaching ranks in 1886 with
the Boston Redskins, and when that
club became the Washington Red
skins, coached them from 1887
through 1912.
Flaherty took the Redskins into
the National Football League play
of championship three times, be-
ginning with his freshman year,
1896, at Boston. Green Bay de-
feated the Skins 21-6, in the title
game staged at New York.
He was never worse than third in
his own division, finishing that low
only in 1941 during rebuilding pro-
cess. That year the Tribe won six
games and lost five. His best season
was his last, 1912, when he won 10
games and lost l, and whipped the
Chicago Bears, 1916, in the title
play-off.
Flaherty's record with the Red
skins Boston and Washington was
81 victories, 81 defeats and three ties
Both Flaherty's 1916 and 1947
Yankee teams won the All-America
Eastern section titles, but lost both
league playoffs to the Cleveland
Browns. At the outset of the 194e
season, Flaherty and Topping
tangled over a fioundering by the
Yankees. Flaherty teddy
charged the club was weakened by
player gifts" to weaker league
members, and in a huff parted COM
