NEW YORK, Jan. % (AP).-
The oldtimers group has four
new members in baseball's Hall

Sam Rice and Elmer Flick and
Pitchers Eppa Jeptha Rixey
and John Clarkson. They will
be formally inducted at Coop

Flick, a lefthanded hitting
outfielder who averaged .315
with the Phillies and Cleveland
for l3 years from 1898 to 1910,
now is an 87-year-old resident
of Warrensville Heights, Ohio,
Clarkson, a righthanded
pitcher who won 1913 games for
Worcester, Chicago, Boston
and Cleveland in the National
League from 1882 to 1894, died
in 1909. He once won So games
for Chicago in 1885 and pitched
622 innings. He also won 49
for Boston in 1889. Only IL
others have won 300 or more
in the majors.
According to legend, Cleve-

a lefthanded batter, hit 1922
from 1915 to 1884 with
washington and Cleveland.
He quit with 1887 hits, only
13 shy of the tabled 5000
mark. In three World Series
with the Senator's he batted
1854.
Old-timers remember him for
his controversial catch when
he dived into the bleachers to
take a drive by Earl Smith of
Pittsburgh in the 1925 series.
He seldom struck out and US
ually took only one swing. A
speedy runner, he wound up
with 35l stolen bases.
Rixey, now II, lives in Ter
race Park, Ohio, not far from
the scenes of his greatest tri-
umphs in Cincinnati. From
1912 through 1888 with the
Phillies and Reds he won 266

Tough MiIIrose Competition
Awaits BeIitza and Hoyas

Maryland's John Belitza. who
called the shot on his l6-foot
pole vault, isn't likely to be
able to rest on his laurels-and
neither is Georgetown's 2-mile
relay team.
Belitza. a senior, became the
sixth man in history to clear
16 feet when he won the 74th
Boston AA Games Saturday
night with a vault of Is feet
"a inch. For a few hours that
was the highest ever by a
collegian.
Then c. K. Yang, UCLA's
decathlon star from Formosa,
turned in a vault of l6 feet
3H inches in a meet at Port
land, Ore. That put Yang's leap
ahead of anything ever done
indoors and also exceeded the
official record (set outdoors)
of 16 feet 2l2 inches by Fin
lands Pentti Nikula last year.
Meanwhile, Georgetown's q
mile relay team of Ed Schmitt,
Ed Duchini, Charley McGovern
and John Reilly, had to go all
the way down to 1924 to beat
Seton Hall in its speciality.
Only the world record of
1908 by Kansas University has
been run faster on a regulation
indoor track.
Next is the Millrose Games
in Madison Square Garden Fri
day night and both will face
exceedingly stiff competition.
Belitza will be up against
Dave Tork, Ron Morris. John
Uelses, Henry Wadsworth, VIII
lanova's Rolando Cruz and
about six other vaulting stars.
There seems to be no end
to what the vaulting fraternity
can do. Friday night at To-
ronto, ex-Marine Tork. the
former West Virginian, boosted
the indoor mark to Is feet 2h
inches. Then Yang came
through with his feat.
They'll be talking II feet
soon." Balitza said after his
big Jump. And he has a repu-
tation for being right. Only

on the way down on each Of
his three chances.
The Hoyas' 2-mile relay team
was only slightly less spectac-
ular. They trailed the Seton
Hall speedsters through the
first two legs until McGovern
overhauled Kevin Hennessey
on the third leg. Sent away
10 yards in front for the final
leg, Reilly, who has had
trouble with his Achilles ten
don. held on to half of that
advantage to win handily.
"We1l need three more weeks
to hit our top FORM" Hoya
coach Steve Benedek says.
And we'll keep running as a
relay team until then. The in
dividual racing will come later.
1t will take a world record to
win the Millrose race"
We'll win the Millrose race
if we have to run 1923 to do it, "
Reilly says.
Seton Hall. Villanova, Texas
Southern and Holy Cross,
which won a second two-mile
event at Boston in 1895, will
be waiting for the Hoyas at
New York.
Among other developments
at Boston were Olympian Hayes

Par Contest T.
When this hand was played In

to ruff the third diamond with

This is a very cunning and
logical play. East can have only
Is points in high cards outside

least Xxx of spades to justify his
opening bid Of one no-trump.
If declarer over-ruffs with
dummy's four of spades, be
cannot take a fineSSe through
East. Therefore East will get a
trick with the king of spades,
and he can then lead a diamond
for West to ruff. This defense
will defeat the contract.
Very clever, but not clever
enough. South also must count
points and must see exactly
what is going on. When West
ruffs the third diamond with the
deuce of spades, declarer must

for the name change. Two

the Benedictine priory here to

called Priory.
Because of the elevation, the
name had to be changed to
conform.
