WOODRING HAS
GOOD CHANCE
NEW YonK, March zit—In the
rush of enthusiasm and excitement
attending the splendid string of
meets that have been decided on
the local bou rds during the last fort-
night. a performance that has a di-
rect bearing on the strength of tho
. American Olympic team has been
‘ ,quito overlooked by the track
sharps.
‘The particular bit of running re-
ferred to was Alien Woodring's
quarter mile in tho inter-club rclay
race at tho mile distance at the re-
cont games in aid of the futhcrless
1 children of Greece. VVoodring ran
,3 the last
leg in this event for the
Millrosu Athletic Association and
turned a quarter that made the
clocksters sit up and take notice.
For the first time since he scooted
home in front in tho intercollegiate
quarter mile championship at
Franklin Fla-iii. Philadelphia. last
May. the Orange Ghost showed a
trace of the form that enabled him
to humble Charley Paddock. with
others. iii the Olympic 3300 meters
event at Antwerp four years ago.
Timing relay performances. done
with flying starts. is admittedly an
,, unsatisfactory proceeding. but the
g. fact remains that of three watches

Greek games the slowest showed 50

"There was one thing that puzzled
me a lot. They call this Firpo the
Wild Bull of the Pampas. Well.
I'll tell you one thing. I looked all
over Buenos Aires and the country
around there. but I couldn't find a
pampss. What is this pampas thing
anyway? I asked a lot of folks in
Buenos Alres, where the darn thing
was. but they didn‘t seem to haVc
any more idea about it than I did.
I don't think there is any. such
thing as the pampas."
Lodge. whose good humorcd feat-
,urcs and burly neck were bronzed
by the blazing Argentine sun. gave it
testimonial to the right. hand punch
of Firpo. the hand that felled him
in the fifth round of their engage-
ment in Buenos Alrcs several weeks
ago. But the,l«‘armer. after the
matter of all boxers. thinks he
might do better if they‘ clashed
again.
In“ Not So Good
“Firpo used his left a lot in the
first few rounds. but I had no
trouble keeping out of the way of
it." said the Farmer. “He'll have
to polish up that left a lot before
it. will do him much good. But he
surely can sock with his right. It
was a right under the heart that
really beat me." At this point the
Farmer unblushingly pulled open
his shirt and displayed the discolor-
ation where the Wild Bull's right
paw had found its mark.
"Firpo is a rough guy." Lodge
went on. “and he got away with a
lot of rough stuff. on me. The ref.-
one let him do about as he pleased.

ST. PETERSBURG. Fla“ March
Iii—This fair city. as addition to
holding one of the pioneer big
league training camps (the spring
playground of the Boston Braves) is
virtually the center of the training
camp district. By motor or boat or
both one can reach any one of four
big league camps in addition to the
Braves' between breakfast and din-
ner. Across the bay lies Braden-
town. the home of the St. Louis
i‘ardinals and three minor league
clubs that are hooked 'up with Ric-
key's baseball family. Twelve miles
from that. city by motor are the
Giants at Sarasota.

of the Washington Senators in an-

This young infielder. Lou Gehrig

style at bat. He is a“‘wrist hitter"
like Eddie Collins. He waits for
the ball. Then. instead of putting
his shoulders into the poke brings.
the bat around mainly by thevpower
of his wrists. When he hits ‘em
they travel on a bee line into/the
outfield. Manager Huggins has
cautioned him. however. not to lay
too much stress on hitting ome runs.
He came up with a rep as a circuit
clouter but when Hug found the
