Chuckling Phil Shafer, red haired, freckle-face- d heavyweight champion of automobile racing, la building two cars for the International SOO-ml- contest to be held at the Indianapolis motor speedway In May. Shafer, a Jolly, roly-pol- y food con-tainer who holds hie weight constant with three really Important trips to the grocery store each day, still laughs at the fates which prompted him to sell two race cars one In 1927, the other In 1928 despite the fact that these aelf-sam- e cars were driven to Victory In those .years. In 1927 Shafer sold a car out of hla table to Bill White, Hollywood racing magnate, who put George Senders, an unknown quantity In the big league circuit, In the driver"! seat, and he brought the car home a victor. Shafer just chuckled aa Souders nodded an assent to the checkered flag of victory which released approxlmate- - ly $38,000 to Bill White's eloquent ability to spend. "Okeh with me," laughed Shafer, "the car probably would bave stumbled and fallen dead on the home stretch If It waa flying my colors." Shafer's stable color Is mis-chievous boy red to match hla hair and freckles and demeanor. The following year Shafer had two more In bis stable. Louis Meyer, a mechanic with driving aaperatlons, asked Shafer If he would sell one of tbe mounts. "Sure," beamed Shafer, "but what are yon going to use for moncyT ' Tbe quiet, shy Meyers asked the price, obtained It and took an option on the car. This was less than two weeks before the day of the race. Meyer persuaded Alden Sampson, a boyhood friend who was running a garage In a small Ohio town, to be-- come a racing magnate, suinpson liked the Idea, hocked his business and purchased the car from Shafer. Meyer drove It to victory. Shafer's car didn't even finish. The Meyer-Sampso- n combination collected approx-imately $40,000 for the victory. 'This la getting to be more serious than a coincidence," was all Shafer said. But he kept on chuckling. The best be had ever been able to do at Indianapolis was third. Last May Shafer had a car In the race. It finished twelfth. "But this year I'm going to race both of my cars," says Shafer, "and maybe I'll have the thrill of wutchlng my two drivers fighting It out at 405 miles for the right to see which one cornea In first Woudn't that be a laughr And then he chuckled some more.

Not alone through Its championship ; football and basketball teams has Purdue won glory In the Big Ten dur-ing the record breaking season, 1929-"S-Tbe Boilermakers boast another champion In Orval Martin, long dis-tance runner . extraordinary, whose latest feat waa the winning of mile and half mile events In the same night at the conference Indoor meet at the University of Minnesota, The records show that In five meets in which he has competed since be be-gan his career aa an Intercollegiate athlete at Purdue, Martin haa won seven Big Ten championships. Thle was made possible by doubling op In tbe mile and half mile runs as he did at Minneapolis. At Mis 1920 eutdoor meet at Northwestern, Att June he won both these events. He also won the Individual Big Ten cross country championship in the annual meet, at Ohio State last full. The ideal height of a heavyweight fighter la six feet or an Inch or ao taller. There have been shorter ones and taller ones but they were exceptions. There Is also an Ideal height for pitchers. Nearly all of the great stars you may mention were six footers. In fact six feet la more Important to a baseball pitcher than a heavy-weight lighter. A pitcher who can throw them downgrade will have mora speed than one who must make them go straight ahead. For that reaaon scouts are always looking at the big boys and passing up those who are under five feet eleven. Cornell and Princeton have met on the football field 20 times since tbe rivalry began In 1S91, with the former being victorious on only four occa-sions. Four pitchers managed to win 20 or more games in the major leagues last season. They were Put Malone of fhe Cubs, Bob Grove and George Earnshaw of the Athletics and Wes-ley Farrell of the Indians. Most of the players who will captain major football teams this year are centers. The best three centers of the East in 1929 Ticknor of Har-vard, Slano of Fordham and Andres of Dartmouth, are among tbe football captains of 1930. Ticknor of Harvard was almost a unanimous choice for center last' year but give Andres tbe eamA nnnnptiinlf faa on1 It a n.nhahtv would excel Ticknor. The Harvard system calls for a roving center, and a roving center has a vast advantage over the stationary type of pivot man such as Andres. Little Alble Booth, whose brilliant runs won the Army, Brown and Dart-mouth football games for Tale last fall, is putting 'on weight Little Alble weighed only 144 last fall, but during the basketball season, while playing forward on the Eli five, he picked up 13 pounds. He Is now out for short-stop on the Tale nine. Booth Is the only Tale man to be elected captain of three Tale athletic teams in one season. He led the freshman football, baseball and basketball teams last year. Lester Patrick, the Connie Mack of the Ice hockey game, believes the base-ball magnates are too set In their ways. He suggests a few new ar-rangements In the national game to make It more profitable. The best thought he brings out Is that of limiting a star like Babe Ruth to American league territory when tbe fans of Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Brooklyn would like to see him more often. Or Hornsby of the National How many times has he been seen In Wash-ington and Detroit? Bnseball is a staid game. In some ways we like it for that reason. William T. Tllden believes he haa un-earthed the future tennis champion of the world In the diminutive person of twelve-year-ol- d Etlenne Van Der Berg, the son of the Dutch professional at the Hotel Callfornle club. Tllden was so Impressed with the boy's play that he has been devoting hours dally training him and will enter handicap events In the most Important tournaments with him. Toung Etlenne has played tennis since he was six years old. Bill Roper, Princeton's coach, felt so bad that his tfnm was beaten by Chi-cago last fall that he said he was go-ing to quit coaching. The 1930 cam-paign, he now says, will be his last as Tiger mentor. Koper attributes the defeats of his team last full to the fact that the preceding spring he held no spring practice, letting his men go In for track, baseball and the other spring sports. This year, however, In prepa-ration for his final season he Is put-ting on three weeks of work In funda-mentals. "We're going to have a great team," he says, "a young team and perhaps a starless team." "Gabby" Street, new manager of tbe St, Louis Cardinals, suggests an additional column for tbe baseball box scores as food for thought In the hot stove league. "Tbe box scores omit a very Im-portant column," says Street, "and that Is the EJ column errors of judgment "Manual errors we expect every-body makes them. But the real er-rors are those of judgment, like throw-ing to the wrong base, stealing when the next bag I occupied, being picked off a base through carelessness, trying to steal home with the bases filled, nobody out and your best hitter at bat "This type of errors ought to be charged up like manual errors." lj:iiEilSi 1 he giS) I upsets of I 111!!
