Myer to Train Early at Hot Springs : DeFino Takes Tri-City Duckpin Tourney
TERMS 0. K„ BUDDY
IS EAGER TO START
Nat Second-Sacker Wants to
Recover Speed Lost After
1928 Season.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.
ONE National who was ex
pected to do a bit of balk
ing about the matter of a
new contract proved quite
tractable during negotiations with
club headquarters here and now
is in line for the 1930 campaign.
He is Charles Solomon Myer—or
Buddy Myer, if you will have it so.
Charles Solomon’s letter of ac
ceptance now reposes in the
archives of the Washington club
offices and according to President
Clark Griffith the young fellow
who resides in* Ellisville, Miss.,
between diamond seasons appar
ently is well satisfied with what is
to come to him.
With the acceptance of terms by
Myer, Griffith has in tow three-fourths
of the infield Manager Walter Johnson
very likely will send into action at the
•tart of the next American League
campaign. Joe Judge, first-base veteran,
accepted terms some time ago as did
Ossie Bluege, who everyone hopes will
be able to perform better than ever at
third base since his trick knee has been
prepared. Only Joe Cronin, San Fran
cisco youngster, who again is slated to
assume the shortstop position flanking
Myer, remains out of the fold.
That Myer is determined to get a
throttle hold on the second-base place
at the Jump-off this year instead of
stepping aside to let Jack Hayes
squirm into the berth is indicated in
a desire expressed by him in communi
cations with the Washington office to
permit him to do some preliminary
training at Hot Springs, Ark. Buddy
has asked that he be sent to the Spa
for a thorough workout before report
ing at the Biloxi. Miss., training base
and the request has been given Grif
fith’s O.K.
Will Tramp Ozarks.
So Buddy is to leave his Ellisville
home the middle of this month for the
Arkansas resort and for three weeks
will go through a course of exercise and
baths calculated to take the kinks out
of muscles that have not been so pliable
for a year or two. Not only will Myer
tramp over the rugged hills surround
ing the Spa. but he also will immerse
himself in the various sulphur, mud
and steaming water pools that have
made Hot Springs famous the world
over.
Buddy will not be without company
at Hot Springs. Sam Rice, venerable
outfielder of the Nationals, left town
yesterday, headed for the Ozarks. Like
Myer, old man Rice feels it will be
better for him to loosen somewhat be
fore crashing the more strenuous train
ing routine to come at Biloxi. But Sam
isn't planning to do the same condi
tioning work as Myer does at the Spa.
Instead, the veteran gardener intends
to do most of his exercising on the
many fine golf courses about the Ar
kansas resort.
Both these players are to report at
the Biloxi camp March 9 hnd they
should do so greatly benefited by their
work-outs at Hot Springs. That Rice
feels it necessary to get in a bit of early
training should occasion no surprise.
Sam, as Nick Altrock would say, “is
getting young no faster." He is, ac
cording to the base ball records, nearly
38 years old and when a ball player gets
that f-r along in his career he needs
acme '-xtra tonic. Myer, though, is
only his twenty-sixth year and at
first consideration it might seem odd
that he needs the preliminary tune-up.
Would Regain Speed.
Buddy, though, believes the extra
training will enable him to show more
foot in play this year than he did
last. He feels that in 1929 he was con
siderably slower than he was the pre
vious year when he played with the
Red Sox and he does not want to feel
so sluggish this year. That Buddy is
Justified ‘in thinking he lacked his usual
speed during the last campaign in the
- American League may be realized when
his record is scanned.
With the Red Sox in 1928, Buddy
batted at a .313 clip and socked the
bari hard. He fielded for an average
of .969 at third to finish third among
the hot comer guardians of the circuit
and pilfered 30 bases to lead the league
in that respect. With the Nationals in
1929. Buddy hit at exactly a .300 pace,
fielded only .936 at third base, where he
started the campaign, and put .958 at
second base, where he played the great
er part of the time. He also swiped
only 18 sacks to fall far behind the
league leader. If it wasn't loss of speed
that caused this 1929 slump. Buddy
does not know how to account for it.
The Nationals’ headquarters will be
shifted to the Southland this week. !
Wednesday morning President Griffith i
will close his desk at the Georgia ave
nue nark and head for Dixie. He will
be accompanied by Eddie Eynon, secre
tary of the club, and a personal secre
tary. Griffith will stop off in Chatta
nooga for a day or two to see how the
lookouts of the Southern Association
are shaping up under the guidance of
Joe Engel, chief executive of the minor
outfit as well as lone scout of the Wash
ington club. Griffith, of course, takes
a keen interest in this Southern Associa
tion club, as it is to be the main Wash- !
ington farm.
Moves Office to Biloxi.
From Chattanooga Griffith and his
party will proceed to Biloxi and estab
lish headquarters in the Biloxi Hotel,
where the remainder of the business
of lining up his players for the im
pending championship race in the Bar
nard circuit will be done. How easy j
will be this task remains to be seen.
While the Washington chief has noth
ing to say—as usual—concerning hold
outs, 'tis well known that several of
the boys are not so eager to accept
terms offered and may have to be
spoken to sharply before they will sign
on the dotted line.
Most standoffish of the Nationals
at present are Goose Goslin, erstwhile
thumping outfielder; Fred Marberry,
the club's leading pitcher last year, and
those perennial little balkers. Muddy
Ruel, clever little catcher, and Sad
Ram Jones, wily pitcher. Nothing satis
factory to the club's powers-that-be
has been heard from this quartet re
cently, and in all likelihood none of
the four will close until he confers
with Griffith at the Southern training
camp.
Manager Johason at present does not
plan to get to the conditioning field
at Biloxi before his pitchers report
1 here on February 26, a little more than
three weeks from today. As Johnson
considers the matter, there will be noth
ing for him to do there before that
time,

lOWA IS RETURNED
TO BIG TEN FOLD
Conference Gives Clean Bill,
But Bans Athletes It Dis
qualified.
BY PAUL It. MICHELSON,
Associated Press Staff Writer.
CHICAGO, February l—' The Uni
versity of lowa was reinstated
to good standing in the West
ern Conference today by the
| conference faculty committee. The re
instatement is effective at once.
The decision to readmit lowa was
reached after 4 hours and 25 minutes
of discussion, the trend of which was
not revealed.
While lowa was reinstated, the
action was not without qualification.
In a supplemental statement to the
one giving lowa a clean bill, the faculty
committee members flatly stated that
they were not convinced that all evils
had been corrected, and advised lowa
authorities against applying for rein
statement to eligibility any of the ath
letes disqualified December 11, 1929. At
that time 27 men, including ll who
still are in school, were banned from
further competition!
Barred Last May.
lowa was barred from athletic rela
tions with the other nine schools last
May. Subsequently, two petitions filed
by the school for reinstatement were
denied. lowa was returned to the fold
today, however, without having made
a new formal plea.
Announcement that the North Cen
tral Conference of Colleges, of which
lowa is a member, that it would inves
tigate athletic conditions at the Hawk
eye school, inspired the action on the
part of the committee. It was felt lowa
should be spared further humiliation,
considering that it had earnest

efforts to comply with suggestions made 1
by the faculty group, to improve its
athletic affairs.
The reinstatement resolution read:
“Whereas, the conference is satisfied
that the athletic authorities at lowa
have re -established the principle of fac
ulty control, and are earnestly en
deavoring to correct conditions which
led to the suspension of athletic rela
tions: and
i “Whereas, although there still is rea
son to suspect that certain forces out
side the administration are still re
sorting to improper methods of aiding
athletes the conference has confidence
in an d determination of lowa
authorities to ascertain the facts and to
deal effectively with such abuses as
may be found to exist: Therefore, be it i
“Resolved, That athletic relations
with the University of lowa be resumed,
effective at once.”
University Is Cautioned.
Following up the statement that they
were not completely satisfied that out
side agencies were not still at work to
aid athletes, the committee issued the
supplemental statement which cautioned
lowa against asking that the athletes
already barred be returned to good
standing. This statement read:
“It was moved, seconded and carried
that it is the sense of the meeting
that lowa authorities be informed that
it would be inadvisable to apply for
reinstatement to eligibility those ath
letes disqualified December 11, 1929.”
For the first time since its suspension,
lowa was not represented in the meet
ing. On both previous occasions when
the case came before the committee—
last June and at the regular meeting
last December —the Hawkeye school had
a delegation of faculty and athletic
men to plead its cases, both of which
were rejected.
Each of the other nine institutions
was represented by its faculty mem
ber. They were Prof. F. Long, North
western; Prof. H. C. Anderson, Mich
igan; Prof. J. F. A. Pyre, Wisconsin;
Prof. W. J. Moenkhaus, Indiana; Prof.

A
ON THE SIDE LINES
With the Sports Editor
By DENMAN THOMPSON
JOE CANTILLON wielded a
far greater influence on
base ball than is gener
ally known, according to
Clark Griffith. In a fanning
bee yesterday at the ball park
offices during which the big
boss of the Washington club
and Manager Walter Johnson
alternately held the floor, some
interesting tales were recounted
anent the career of the dia
mond veteran who passed away
Friday at Hickman, Ky., and
who is to be buried at his boy
hood home in Janesville, Wis.,
where he started in the game
as a bat boy 52 years ago.
It seems that in addition to
aiding in the development of
any number of young players
and umpires with his blunt, but
kindly meant words of advice, »
Cantillon not only proved of
inestimable value to the Ameri
can League when it first was
launched by scouting for play
ers, but was directly responsi
ble for the change in the rules i
whereby base runners are per
mitted to advance only at their I
peril when a pitched ball j
strikes the person or clothing
of an umpire while he is back
of the plate.
As recalled by Griff it was
during a hot series between
the Boston and Pittsburgh
clubs, that Cantillon, then an
umpire, rendered a decision
that stirred a big fuss.
One of the teams had a man
on third base when a pitched
ball was dropped by the catcher
and lightly struck Cantillon’s
shoe. The latter refused to
permit the runner automatic
ally to score, despite the reg
ulation then sanctioning it, on
the common sense ground that
the ball would not have rolled
more than a few inches if it
had not hit his foot.
The result was a protested
game which ultimately led to
the revision of the code as it
stands now.
Cantillon Was Canny.
AS an umpire, and he was a
mighty good one, too, ac
cording to Griff, Cantillon
never would put a player out of
the game, but he lost few wordy
battles with any of the ath
letes at that.
“I remember one game I was
pitching, with Cantillon the
umpire, when a player who
i had been growling continuous
ly at Joe’s decisions finally
reached first from where he
bombarded Cantillon with vile
epithets.
“I had a deceptive motion
the umpires never would let
me get away with,” Griff con
tinued, “but somehow or other
I got the notion it would not be
ruled illegal at that particular
time, so I whipped the ball
over and Cantillon promptly
thumbed “out” to his tor
mentor.
“Later on in the game, how
ever, when I employed that
half-balk toss in an effort to
nip another player off first, Joe
simply grinned and admon
ished: ‘That stuff won’t go
now.’ ”
Johnson Chips In.
Referring to the summer
he made his big league
debut, Johnson recalled that
Cliff Blankenship, en route as
agent of the Washington club,
stopped off at Wichita, where
he arranged to purchase Clyde
Milan, and complained to Zeb
that he had to take a long, tire
some train trip to Idaho to
“land seme big busher named
Johnson, who probably isn’t
worth the railroad fare.”
According to Walter, he gave
only his word to report to
Washington in exchange for
SIOO from the club, which he
j insisted on as insurance against
having to walk back, and he as
serted it is true that Blanken
ship never saw him pitch a
game until he joined the
j Nationals.
“Cliff looked me over while I I
AMERICAN 0. FIVE
TAKES A THRILLER
Gets Three Points in Final
Minute to Defeat Elon by
29-to-26 Count.
A NEAT goal from scrimmage by
Orville Targee and a toss from
the foul stripe by Woods In the
last minute of play enabled
American University’s basket ball team
to break a 26-26 tie and vanquish Elon
College of North Carolina, 29 to 26,
last night In the Eagles' gym.
It was the first defeat for the South
erners on a trip during which they
have conquered High Point, which de
feated American U. early this season;
V. P. 1., Emory and Henry and Bridge
water.
Despite that four members of the
Elon team were rangy, which gave them
an advantage over the smaller A. U.
quint, particularly when play was under
the basket, the Eagles carried the fight
to the invaders most of the way. In
the first 10 minutes A. U. gained a
comfortable lead, but Elon cut this
down later, and at the half the Eagles
were ahead by only 17 to 15.
In the second half battling was nip
and tuck with the lead constantly al
ternating. Just after the score had been
tied at 26-all, In the last minute Elon
was warming up at one of the
daily practices, which started at
8 o’clock at night—it stays light
right late up there—and said it
wouldn’t be necessary for him
j to wait until our next weekly
game the following Saturday.
“And Blankenship missed one
for the book when he passed up
that battle,” Barney continued.
“It was over at Caldwell, a
j nearby town and intense rival
of Weiser. Everybody used to
take the day off for base ball,
the railroad ran special trains
and plenty of money was wa
gered by the rabid adherents.
"At that time I hadn’t been
scored on for 75 innings, but
the Caldwell backers imported
a battery and three other play
ers from the Coast League and
bet heavily.
The Squeeze That Failed.
“The tenth inning came with
no runs made, and we got a
man on third with nobedy out.
: The leading doctor of our town,
who was an ardent fan, and al
ways sat on the players’ bench,
offered half of the $1,500 bet he
had made to the next man up
if he got that run in.
“This player happened to be
a sort of tramp who had blown
into Weiser and made the team
on the strength of his fielding,
although he was an awfully
weak hitter. Seven hundred
and fifty dollars sounded like a
million to him, and in an effort
to make sure he collected he
went up and flashed the squeeze
sign.
“Caldwell’s imported pitcher
was using a lazy wind-up, and
as our man on third started for
the plate too soon he was with
in a stride of it before the de
livery, a pitch-out, arrived.
There he waited for the bunt,
making no effort to step on the
rubber. Our hobo athlete missed
with his stab at the wide pitch.
To the runner this meant only
that the play as planned
hadn’t gone through, so he
hot-footed it mack to third.
Arriving there he discovered
the ball also had gotten past
the the catcher, and dug again
for home, where he was flagged.
“And Caldwell,” Walter con
cluded, “won out in the eleventh
inning.”
ON the eve of quitting the
Capital for his new post as
boss of athletics at Columbia
University, as Tom Mills moves
in from Notre Dame to take
over the reins at Georgetown,
Lou Little issued a statement
that is typical of him, an ami
able chap and a thorough
sportsman, despite the martinet
tactics with which he obtained
such fine results as a grid
coach. Here it is:
“In leaving Georgetown to
day to take up my duties at
Columbia, I cannot do» so with
out first expressing to all,
whether directly or indirectly
connected with the university,
my sincere appreciation of all
that they have done to make
my stay in Washington most
happy and my work pleasant
and, I hope, successful.
“Without the constant sup
port, the encouragement, the
good will and advice of all
those interested, I could have
done nothing worth while. This
brief note can give little idea
of my gratitude for the uni
versal kindness shown me, but
it is the only way to show my
feelings and appreciation.”
Little takes with him to New
York the best wishes of the
sports-writing fraternity as
well as the fans of Washington.
He deserves lots of luck—and
none of it bad.

: Old Liners Lose, 26 to 28, in
‘ Late Stages After Once
>
Overhauling Foe.
• *
North Carolina state sprung
a distinct surprise by defeating
the University of Maryland
quint in a Southern Conference
basket ball game at College Park last
night, 28 to 26.
The Old Liners, whose passing was
greatly off par, were trailing at 10-16
at intermission. They did show a flash
of good‘basket ball In the early stages
of the second half and in less than
10 minutes of that period took the lead
and once were ahead at 25 to 21.
Here Haar, the visitors’ ace, made
good on two tries from the foul line
and then shot a floor goal to deadlock
the issue. A free toss by each kept the
teams on even terms, but after Brown
made a side-court basket to give the
invaders their 2-point edge, the Wolf
pack “froze” the ball as much as pos
sible and Maryland gained possession
of it only two or three times before the
Anal gun.
Maryland started out well and in
the flyt few minutes ran up an 8-to-2
lead. Then the Old Liners’ passing be
came erratic and North Carolina State,
playing a smoother game, had posses
sion of the ball most of the time, and
kept counting consistently until the
close of the half.
With Berger, Radice and Oaylor dis
playing some real basket ball, Maryland
tied the count at 19 all with 7 minutes
of the second half gone. The game
then slowed up and in the next 6 or 7
minutes Maryland added five points,
while the visitors were gaining a pair.
At this stage Haar and Brown came
to the front for North Carolina State
and just as soon as the Raleigh team
got ahead it brought its "freezing”
tactics into play with effect.
Despite its erratic passing, Maryland
might have won with a little more ac
curacy from the foul line. It made
good in only 6 of 14 attempts while
State got as many points from the
charity stripe in 9 tries.
While State, 1929, Southern Confer
ence champion, won. like Maryland, it
showed only flashes of high class basket
ball.

Mianne Palfrey Beats Mrs.
Jessup in U. S. Indoor
Final Match.
By the Associated Press.
BROOKLINE, Mass., February I.
Eighteen-year-old Mianne Pal
frey, one of Brookline’s five
tennis-playing sisters, today be
came the woman's national Indoor
singles champion by defeating Mrs.
Marion Zinderstein Jessup of Wilming
ton, Del., a former holder of the title,
7 —5, 6—2, here on the Long wood cov
ered courts.
Miss Palfrey, probably the youngest
player that ever won a national senior
tennis title, was unplaced in the draw.
She blazed through the tournament and
won her title by defeating half of the
eight seeded players.
Mrs. George W. Wlghtman and Sarah
Palfrey, Mianne’s younger sister, re
tained their national Indoor doubles
title by overwhelming Marjorie Morrill
of Dedham, and Edith Sigourney, Bos
ton, 6 —3, 6—2. The tournament's
other championship, the national mixed
doubles title, was successfully defended
by Margaret Blake of Lenox and
Richard Harte of Brookline. They de
feated Mianne Palfrey and Richard
Murphy of Utica, N. Y., and Harvard
University, 3—6, 6 —l, 7—5.
In the singles final, Mrs. Jessup won
the first five games because Mtanne’s
judgment of distance was a trifle off.
The Brookline girl then gained perfect
control of her shots and set up a
furious cross-court attack that gave her
the victory in seven consecutive games.
Late in the first period, Mrs. Jessup
pulled a tendon and this mishap was
a heavy handicap. As a result Mianne
won the first four games of the second
set, giving her 11 consecutive games, on
her limping opponent. The final four
went with service.

Boston Girl Beats Capital
and Baltimore Stars
With Fine Score.
BY R. D. THOMAS.
AN Italian beat a Portuguese
and a Greek yesterday and
last night for an American
bowling championship.
To elucidate, Tony De Fino of
Washington finished in front of
Manuel Silveira of Boston and
Leo Vulgaris of Baltimore in the
grand finale of duckpin tourna
ments held by The Washington
Star, the Boston Herald and the
Baltimore Sun.
Silveira is a product of Portugal and
Vulgaris of Greece, but both are thor
oughly Yankeeized, and De Pino’s at
tachment to Italy is only one of senti
ment.
Tony totaled 1,128 for 10 games, five
rolled In the afternoon at the Balti
more Recreation and the others at Con
vention Hall last night. Manuel col
lected 1,095 sticks and Leo 1,044. None
of the three performed up to the
standards they set in winning tourna
ments that had a grand field of more
than 3,000 bowlers.
Girl Gets Spotlight.
De Fino was downright fancy at
times, but the spotlight was swiped
from him by Janette Killgren of Bos
ton, who won the girls’ play-off, with
a total of 663 for six games. She van
quished Helen Spencer of Baltimore,
who shot 617, and Bess Ackman of
Washington, with an even 600.
Both De Fino and Miss Killgren
struggled uphill. Silveira opened with
a game of 152 and came away from
Baltimore a strong favorite, with a set
of 582, against 564 for De Fino and
550 for Vulgaris. Only the Washing
tonian, however, was able to keep going
in the last set. His score was the same
as in Baltimore to a pin, but Silveira
slumped to 513 and Vulgaris to 494.
Both of the latter were victims of an
uncommon number of wicked splits
from excellent hits.
Miss Spencer looked an almost cer
tain winner after shooting 321 in Bal
. timore, against 303 for Miss Killgren
and 285 for Mrs. Ackman, but the
Boston entry, a comely youngster
whose skill and gameness won her
many supporters in the galleries of
both cities, swept to victory at Con
ventional Hall with a set of 360, one
of the highest ever rolled here in
championship competition. Her score
was well earned. She missed few
breaks and her first ball invariably was
in the pocket. Miss Killgren rolls an
"inshcot,” over which she has excep
tional control.
De Fino Rolls Steadily.
De Fino’s steadiness in the pinches
won for him. He had no more breaks
| than his rivals, but he hit almost all
I ‘be sticks he aimed for. In the Balti
; ' niore skirmish he converted several
splits into spares.
