Then, however, the champion Manhattans must be reckoned with and the latter, it may be taken for granted, will be at full strength. In the meantime the matches in the sixth and semi-final round, scheduled for Saturday night, are not likely to bring about changes in the standings of the leaders. The pairings By W. C.

VREELAND Stall Correspondent of The Eagle Miami, March 18 The race ol races the CTrand National! Liverpool The eyes of millions, so to speak, will be turned in the direction of Lancaster County, England, wherein is to be held tomorrow, at Aintree, the contest that will make many men and women the world over rich in this world's goods with wealth beyond their fondest dreama of youth and fancy. There in a struggle that will amount to a battle over a course of four miles and 856 yards, what is known as the Aintree course. Steeplechase horses trained to the last minute of physical ent' iranee, horses Chess Problem No. 1543 By SVEN ALMGREN. BROOKLYN will be: Marshall Scanthorn, Manhattan vs.

Gambit, Modern vs. Bronx-International; West Side, a bye. Much, of course, will depend upon the outcome of the match between the Modern and Bronx-International 'earns. Should the latter, who conquered the Manhattans, be successful, then there remains the possibility ot a triple tie for first place. This in turn will depend upon the outcome of the subsequent Marshall-Manhattan match.

This week's pairings in the division of the league will be: Cuba vs. Jamaica Y. M. C. Queens vs.

SCANDINAVIAN PLAYER IS HOLDING HIS OWN In so far as the championship the Metropolitan League is cor cerned, the Chess Club of Brooklyn has not covered itself with much glory, but the pace by some of the Manhattan teams has been dec-iedly fast. Nevertheless in Sven Almgren, one of the Scandinavians, they have a contender of real merit who, so far this season, has been uniformly successful. Almgren's latest achievement as the sole winner in the match with the champion Manhattans, was to outplay N. Grossman by means of a neat combination ushered in by the sacrifice of a pawn.

FIRST RACE IN 1839 Aintree is located 202 miles frum London approximately what the Bowie racetrack is from New York. The trek to the course begins 'wo or three days, in some cases a week before the race is run off.

The Grand National marks the end of the cross-country sport in England. It is during the Winter that steeplechases and hurdle races are the fashion on the English racetracks. Steeplechasing and flat racing are not mixed in England, as they are in the U. S. on some tracks.

I jn addition to being the most i dftrjgerous steeplechase course in the wor.ld, and the longest for any great prize, the Liverpool Grand National i Has. been worth a small fortune, its value variously from $2R -000 to $55,000. It was worth $28. 00(1 when Forbra won It in It attained the peak of $55 when Tipperary Tim won it in 1028. In the matter of yep is the Grand National is the oldest steeplechase In existenre.

It had its inaugural in 1839. It has been run off without intermission since then. During the World War It was run off as a "substitute" race, as was the Epsom Derby. In 1918 Mrs. II Pells' Poethlyn won it.

and then won it again the following year. AMEBIC 'S HAVE BEEN LVC KY No other horse, save Major No 1 Furlong's Reynoldstown. has won it In- succession since The Colonel won it in 1889-70. Those two victories netted the winning record of Reynoldstown a grand total of When Poethlyn won It In 1918 in a P. it I Golf Pros Seen Rushing Play By Early Date Qualifying Test Set for May 4 Will Find the Courses in Bad Shape By RALPH TROST It is now definitely established that the championship golf season this area will open May 4.

That's new low in numbers. The opening day may be even earlier for the day, the fourth, is the last possible moment set down by the Professional Golfers Association for the completion of the sectional qualifying test for the G. A. championship. It Is rushing the season.

From this reporter's observations should be evident that a great many courses north of the 40th parallel aren't going to be in condition for championship competi tion even though the majority of contestants, fresh from their Winter stamping grounds in the South, may be. In fact, there's only one logical sector around the metropoli tan district for staging a competi tion so early in the season and that is Long Island. The Island is always a week or two ahead of Westchester and New Jersey in condition. II. S.

G. A. Picks Later Date On pleas from up-State, from New England and from the Middle West, the United States Golf Association went into reverse on its qualifying date for the open championship. This year it will be played June 1, two weeks later than the customary time. Even May 19 proved too early for such important play in a great many districts.

However, the P. G. with its national championship scheduled for the week of May 24-30. couldn't chance a later date. Not with so many players needing ample time to get from Dallas, Seattle, Los Angeles and such places.

The surprising item in the P. G. announcement is that only one of each 18 contestants will be able to gain a place in the field of 105 which will gather for the championship combat at the Pittsburgh Field Club. This means the metropolitan district, in order to get nine places, must have entered about 162 players. That would mark a new high in P.

G. A. affairs around here. And only one of Long Island's Winter circuit chasers, Jimmy Hines, is automatically qualified! BILLINGS SEEKS REVENGE Nick Campofreda and Al Billings have been rematched for the star bout to a finish at Stauch's Arena; Friday night; Campofreda defeated Billings last week and the latter protested the decision. the race was worth only $4,925.

But in 1919 it Jumped to $17,950. It wis in 1923 when the American patrons first began to "nick" as winners. It was in that year that Stephen Sanford, well and favorably known in polo circles, a son of John Sanford of Amsterdam, N. a made happy when Serg. Murphy, at 100 to 6 in the odds, beat 27 opponents for the prize which was worth $36,100.

Then followed Charles Schwartz, whose horse Jack Horner, at odds of 25 to 1, beating 29 opponents, won the prize of $31 ,550. Schwartz had made a ten-strike by purchasing Jack Horner the dav before the race. Mrs. F. A.

Clark of Long Island, a patron of the cross-country sport lor n. any years, won it in 1933 with Ke! borough Jack, at odds of 25 to 1, for a ii ie of $:16.725. The following year Mi. Paget, a member of the familv that married into that of the late W. C.

Whitney, had the thrill of her oung life when Golden Miller, at 8 to 1, beat 29 opponents for $30,325. a KOI JI'MPS ARK 'TRAPS' All the jumps In the Grand National are ordeals in a racing way. But the mast dangerous ones, where many raring enthusiasts gather to see what takes place, are the Becher's Brook andValentlne's Brook jumps. This is a natural brook. It is located on different turns of the course but It is the selfsame brook.

No. 16 is called Becher's Brook, but on the other side of the field this same brook is called Valentine's Brook. The treacherous part of the leaps in the fact that the banks of each side are natural banks, not protected, and that a horse when he makes the leap must be several leet clear of the edge or he topples into the brook. The "open ditch" and "water iuniD." as Dreviouslv stated, are man-made and are located in front of the grandstand. These are very trying Jumps, because the horse at the end of the course is naturally tired and worn out by his previous exertions.

CLUB LOSES MEMBER 99 YEARS OLD The Manhattan Chess Club has lost another vauable member in the passing of Louis Zeckendorf, for whom funeral services were held Sunday at the Riverside Funeral Chapel, with William Klingensteln, grand treasurer of the Grand Lodge of the State of New York, officiating. Mr. Zeckendorf, a member of the Empire Lodge, 206, F.

Many will recall a pleasant party in his honor at the Hotel Alamac, Good Golf The forward swing Is the business half of your golf and is the Important swinging action.

There has been a theory that if you make your back swing well your forward swing will take care of itself. This is not wholly true. A good back swing aids the forward swing, but does not control it. It is a preliminary, nothing more. This is proved by thousands of players who have a superb back swing, yet are unable to stroke the ball well.

They do something in the forward swing that ruins what otherwise might be a solid effect on the ball. The object of the forward swing is not to hit the ball, as so many of you think, but to make the clubhead punch It. The good forward swing is never a hit, but is in every sens a punch. The hit effort is what spoils it. Keep the effo.

Additional Sports on Page 31 Despite Spill Potts Brings Team in First He antl Quimhy Win Novel Skating Race in Palace Carnival The S. R. O. crowd at the Brooklyn Ice Palace last night was by no means all Irish but one would have been led to believe that it was a reunion in Erin to judge by the profusion of green ties, shirts, flowers and shamrocks in evidence at the annual speed and figure skating carnival.

It was no more than fitting that on so gala an occasion as St. Patrick's Day. a new and novel race should be Introduced into Brooklyn for the first time and It was even more fitting that a Brooklyn boy, Allan Potts, and Eddie Quimby of Astoria, should win the event. The race, planned and instituted by Wally Murray, majtor domo at the Ice Palace, called for five teams, two men on each team, to race in true six-day-bicycle fashion with sprints being held every three quarters of a mile. The distance of the race was 10.000 metres, or in terms which we are more familiar with, six miles, three laps, 46 yards and four inches.

Pott Takes Tumble At one stage in the proceedings things looked pretty gloomy for the PotLs-Quimby combine, as Potts, world's record holder at 500 metres, fell to the ice and before he could really get going again, his team was one lap behind. However, by dint of some steady plugging, they managed to come up to a challeng ing position and In the final laps sped through to a well earned victory. The team of Eugene McCann and Cliff Spellman placed second while the Tom McCarthy and Joe Bree combine came in third. Helen Bahil, recent winner of the Silver Skates the only skater starting from scratch, caught up with the field and won by a large margin, in the ladies' half mile race. The members of the Brooklyn Figure Skating Club entertained the crowd with individual, pair and group exhibitions.

Smith crashed Into the spotlight on Monday, hitting a 593 series In the doubles. This aggregate, paired with the 714 total of Mike De-Bridget, was good enough for a 1.307 score which is still tops.

The National Rules Committee yesterday formally removed the cen- ter-Jump from the game exeept at the start of periods after an all-day tussle with recommendations for changes in the code. The modifi- cation removed all but the smallest part of the premium on a towering player's ability to control the ball at center, i The revision was adopted for a one-year trial, and was the only im- portant change made.

For a year at least, the ball will be put into play from out of bounds by the team last scored upon, with the likely ef- feet that an already fast, thrilling I game will become faster and morel thrilling. The move was made after three years of experiment by the Southern Division of the Pacific Coast Conference. Elimination of the center-jump was recommended by the coaches bv a 60 to 9 vote and was favored, 891 votes to 658, cointry-wide poll' by the questionnaire committee. The coaches favored the rule revision, 42 to 25, but the fact! the questionnaire showed 1,024 op-; posed to a change, and only M9 in; favor, caused rejection, The Grasser Oilers of Long Beach and the Rockville Centre Alumni fives won Southern Division tests in the Nassau County Amateur League, last night, and the Mineola A.
