Work on Stadium Brings Shift

WILLIAMSBURG. Va„ March 23.
—What with this and that,
youthful Bill Scott la growing
himself a fine crop of figurative gray
■ hairs as he whips the William and
. Mary base ball team Into shape for
its opening games with Washington
and Lee here Monday and Tuesday.
It's not so much the caliber of the
talent, although Bill isn’t satisfied
altogether with the playing material,
as it is the condition of the playing
field.
As workmen prepare for the erec
tion of the new stadium on Cary Field,
they have three times moved the loca
1 tion of the diamond with disastrous
results to the infield. Finally a spot
has been picked.
Veterans are on hand for all posi
tions save two of the outfield jobs.
Twenty-two games have been listed as
follows:
March 25-26. Washington and Lee: April

Thinks He’s Proved Fitness
and Wants Yankees to
Talk Contract.
By ths Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG. Fla.—Johnny
Allen, New York Yankee's right
hander, wants to tear up his
dollar-a-year contract and get
a real one.
He claims he already has shown
that he nas regained his pitching skill
and that it's time the club indicated
just how much money he may expect
for his 1935 duties.
LAKELAND, Fla—Bruises of the
1934 world series ached afresh today
following a 12-5 lacing the Detroit
Tigers handed the world champion
St. Louis Cardinals yesterday.
Paul Dean and Bill Walker were
nicked for 16 hits, six off Dean in five
Innings and the rest off Walker in the
last three. The Cards sot to Clvde
Hatter tor four runs in the third, but
then were bottled up until the eighth,
when they scored one more. Hatter
yielded five hits in five Innings and
Joe Sullivan two in four.
Detroit takes on the Dodgers today.
LOS ANGELES.—Vernon Washing
ton and Ray Radcliff have the inside
track as A1 Simmons’ mates in the
Chicago White Sox outfield, but the
32-year-old rookie, John (Jocko) Con
lan, is not out of the running.
Conlan, a Chicagoan, was picked up
off the semi-professional field late last
season when the Sox were in dire need
of an outfielder. His fielding left little
to be desired, but his hitting wasn’t so
good. He has hit opportunely in train
ing games, however, and yesterday
contributed a rousing double in his
only time at bat against Pittsburgh.
Ferrell Due for Test.
SARASOTA, Fla.—The Red Sox will
let Wes Ferrell do seven Innings
against the world champion
Cards today if he feels so minded.
Manager Joe Cronin reports his
legs in much better shape. He is cov
ering more ground with greater ease
daily.
WEST PALM BEACH. Fla.. March
23 (A>).—Manager Rogers Hornsby of
the St. Louis Browns apparently is
bent on shaping up his best possible
attacking combination for opening of
the American League season, judging
by the various position changes he has
tried during exhibition games.
Yesterday, when the Browns beat
the House of David, 9 to 1, Hornsby
| played Harland Clift, regular third
sacker, at second base, and Ollie
Bejma at third. This was just one
of several combinations Hornsby has
tried in various training games.
NEW ORLEANS, March 23 OP).—
Mel Harder, ace of the Cleveland In
dians’ pitching staff, who hasn’t
taken part in any of the exhibition
games so far this Spring, may get a
little exercise today. Manager Wal
ter Johnson said he might use Harder
in the sixth game of the series with
the New Orelans Pelicans. Lloyd
Brown probably will share the Job
with Harder.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla —The Ath
letics today started on a long and
winding road which will end at the
home grounds in Philadelphia next
month.
Stopping here for two days to play
the Giants, they move again Mon
day to Jacksonville for another meet
ing with the New Yorkers. Then they
play two-day stands in Birmingham.

and Hand Broken.
By th« Associated Press.
ETHLEHEM, Pft , March 23 —
Eastern and Southern wres
tlers sat on the sidelines today
and wondered who could stop
the march of Oklahoma’s mighty
grapplers in the National Collegiate
A. A. wrestling championships.
A session which began In the early
afternoon yesterday and wound up
early this morning reduced the origi
nal field of 139 to the 32 semi-finalists
in eight divisions and just half of the
survivors represented Oklahoma insti
tutions.
The defending champions from Ok
lahoma A. and M led the field with
six survivors. Oklahoma University
had four men left; Southwestern Ok
lahoma Teachers presented another
quartet of semi-finals and Northeast
Oklahoma Teachers two.
Illinois Checks Monopoly.
Breaking into this monopoly
came Illinois, Big Ten champions,
with five men, while the East was
left with six grapplers. representing as
many different colleges. The South
had only one survivor, Hugo Bonina,
Washington and Lee heavyweight.
Indiana with three men and Iowa
State with one gave the Midwest fur
ther representation. The Eastern col
leges were Lehigh. Columbia, Penn
State, Rutgers, St. Lawrence and
Haverford.
Two severe injuries marked the all- .
day grappling. Doermer Browning, 1
Oklahoma A. and M. 165-pounder,
suffered a broken leg in his bout with
Port Robertson of Oklahoma U„ and
Olden Gillum of Indiana fractured a 1
hand in winning his first round match 1
in the same division and had to dt- i
fault his next match. i

today were to provide the Capital’s r

20 Years Ago
IN THE STAR
ARTISTIC and financial reforms
are necessary for professional
base ball, according to a state
ment made today by Ban Johnson,
president of the American League.
Included in Johnson's “new deal"
scheme are the closing of gates for
the coming season in some 50 parks
and abolition of Spring training.
Padlocks would be distributed
among five or six minor leagues,
according to Johnson's idea, while
the American and National Leagues
would be affected principally by
the new training system. Appar
ent lack of interest in smaller
towns and the chilly receptions,
both at the gate and by the
weather man. in Spring training
camps are given as the reasons for
the proposals.
Tommy Lowe, clever Washington
lightweight boxer, rallied In the
fifteenth and final round of a fight
with Danny Ferguson last night, at
the Ardmore Club, to win the de
cision. The bout was about even
until the last round, when Lowe
opened an attack which had Fer
guson groggy.
With Walter Johnson and Joe
Boehllng on the mound, Washing
ton defeated the University of Vir
ginia in a Spring practice game at
the Charlottesville, Va„ training
camp today. The collegians made
only three hits in the six-inning ex
hibition. Manager Clark Griffith,
however, is disappointed with the
showing of Ramiro Seiglle, highly
touted Cuban lnflelder. Seiglle is
not ready f®r the big leagues yet,
according to Griffith.

Woodmen of the World lost all

can hold the opposition fairly well in

his heavy-hitting Hampden-Sydney

His only veteran, Capt. Clarence
(“Soup”) Campbell, can pitch with
the best of the Old Dominion’s col
lege moundsmen, but with a 23-game
schedule In the offing, he may need
more support than the untried sopho
more hurlers can give him.
