A Fast Stepping Bridegroom. And yet in the face of his laggard steps here- and elsewhere he was backed and backed till he closed the favorite at 9 to S. One of his keenest admirers, Barney Blank, one of the layers of the lawn, bet enough money on him to start a revolution In one of the countries of Central America, This time Bridegroom was full of ginger and though interfered with from the furlong pole home he won by a length and a' half from Negopoll, which Just got up in time to nose out Wonderful for the place honors.

Bridegroom was bought last fall during the ism pire City meeting for a goodly sum and yesterday was entered to be sold for $5,500.

ECHOES EAGLE'S Country Wide Athletics Originally Put Forward by Noted Texas Coach. The new plan for a country-wide athletic development plan Instituted by the Ameateur Athletic Union may not be as new as It seems. On Nov. 24, 1928, Ernie Hjertberg, track coach of Rice Institute of Texas, former coach of the Irish-American A.

and the Swedish Olympic team of 1920, which finished second to the United States team, presented the same idea in an interview in The Eagle. At that time Hjertberg reported that his plan had met with Indifference at A. A. U. headquarters.

Nevertheless, the A. A. U. has now adopted the fundamentals of the Hjertberg plan. Hjertberg's plan took the form of an imaginary idealistic report of the A.

A. u. track ana neid committee. This was first printed in The Eagle on Nov. 24.

The Hjertberg Plan. "Thousands of neighborhood clubs have been formed and named after the districts in which the members live. Every small town has its own club with many dual meets. The giving of diplomas by each district to winners was a step in the right direction as very few of the clubs were in a position to give medals or other prizes for their dual meets. At the suggestion of the com mittee all the big clubs such as the New York A.

the Crescent A. Perm A. Boston A. Illinois A. Missouri A.

Atlanta A. Dallas A. Los Angeles A. and others have In a large measure taken care of the college men who have graduated and have kept them in terested with dual meets, open meets and championships. The track and field committee has recommended to the industrial leagues, church leagues, Y.

M. C. A that they have as many dual meets as possible for the improve ment of their team, also that they have their own junior and senior championships which should Include ail Olympic events, plus cross country, in the case of the Industrial leagues it was found that many school and college boys were em ployed who, while perhaps not champions in their school days, were nevertheless promising material for the Olympic. These boys with compatent jcoaching, opportunities for training and added strength and age have often found themselves after their school days were over. Cross country has improved and some real class has been shown In weight throwing.

The Chambers of Commerce, the Rotary Clubs, Kl-wanls, Boards of Trade and Lions Clubs have all signified their Inten tion to support us In our program." The A. A. U. Plan. "District association officers are requested to participate in a nationwide campaign to stimulate among working boys and young men on interest in track and field athletics and other forms of amateur sport.

It is felt that there is much latent athletic material in every county throughout the United States which could bo developed by providing competitions confined to novices-individuals who have never won a prize in athletic competition. 'At the outset all competitions would be confined to novices, and later a series of commpetltlons can be arranged to include all amateurs. "The plan which is proposed by the National Secretary calls for the appointment of an Athletic Commissioner for every county in the United States, with Deputy Commissioners for every town and city in each county. These Commissioners in each county to arrange for and con duct all contests in their respective cities, towns and counties and later arrange for dual meets between the various towns, cities and counties, ftjiishinr; up with a State-wide or district meet confined to novices, and later on a district association championship meet, bringing to gether the winners and second place men in tne various county cnanv Dlonshin meet. "The schoolboys and college students are provided with plenty of competition during their school year and tney also nave tne advantage of expert coaching.

The working boy and the young man who for one reason or another has not been able to continue in school or college has had neither the opportunity nor the encouragement to realize on his ath letic ability or possibilities. "Presidents of district associations appoint commissioner for each county in their respective dis tricts; the commissioners so appointed or the president will appoint a deputy commissioner for each town and city, or in large cities one in each boro or district." LONG SERIES. ine worm Bones or 187 was played at is games in eight cities, HJERTBERG IDEA After Morris had broken training school at the time, but had not the outfit on which he was later destined to star. While the New Utrecht boys were being put through the paces on the field adjoining the institution, Teitelbaum, ms Droiner Abraham, a former Boys High crack, and two other pals formed a relay team that invariably beat the best the Green and White could muster together for the mile. Hyman tired of seeing the scene enacted, and it was then that he got oft the slogan that was later to bear iruit.

Morris bore quite a reputation in his neighborhood as an amateur football, baseball and basketball player, and it was for the purpose of avenging defeats his brother had sustained lnscholastlc track that he abided by Hyman's challenge to Join his team. Morris was given his baptism In the New York Elks Indoor meet of 1927 when he broke his novice in his first time out by capturing the quarter mile run in record time. Carries Baton For Indoor Title. Satisfied that his new discovery was the goods, Coach Hyman made Morris a member of the one-mile relay team and entrusted him with the important job of running anchor. It was two weeks after Teitelbaum had broken his novice that he ran a sensational last lap to give the auartet the P.

S. A. L. Indoor title. The team was a consistent winner thereafter and included among its many notable feats the capturing ot the national mterscnoiasuc laurels.

When the indoor season got under Berlfein Advances In Flatbash Men's Singles Tourney Muddy courts proved no obstacle to Milton Berlfein, Iron horse of the public park tennis courts throughout the city, who ploughed his way yesterday to a second round conquest In the Flatbush men's singles cham pionship by vanquishing Dr. Louis Duke in two mtteny lougnt sets, 108 and 63. Berlfein found the going hard at the start of the match, when he lost the lead to Dr. Duke, three games to one. Two service aces in the fifth game proved to be the tonic that Berlfein needed, however, and it wasn't long before he had squared matters.

Both players battled along on even terms until the 16th game sapped Dr. Duke's endurance and he visibly wilted under Berlfein' attack, which won him two games and the match in short order. Berlfein had taken advantage of a bye to reach the second round of play, while Dr. Duke took the meas ure of John Cowperthwait, 64, 63. Berlfein will receive his severest test when he clashes with Dick Wlnfleld, holder of the Brook lyn Tennis League singles-title for six successive years, this afternoon.

Warren Glelbman, the "Reckles Dutchman." will make hi debut at the Deer Park Speedway auto races, July 4. It was decided to stage a General Wingate Memorial Fund Indoor mees with Teitelbaum. and Healey matched in one of the classics.

Al though he was not In condition and knowing that he would be called "yellow" if he did not accept th Invitation, the New Utrecht la. competed and took a beatin? like the man he is without a whimper. With the Inception ot the recently closed outdoor campaign, Morris re 7 talned the combination to his win ning habits and showed home the quarter at the Columbia -werved to the rail and just got up time io ndd out of money.

WV-The Pour Horsemen tlU gallop the football tralL Saddles are looser and no longer fly the Irish green of Notre Dame but these four go on, spreading the gospel of clean, hard play and the wisdom of old Knute Rockne. Five years ago the fame of these fleet backs rang round the world. There were those who stuttered over Stuhldreher and Lay den and knew Crowley and Miller only as phantoms slipping through the line.

So they dubbed them the Four Horsemen and sang their praises as a unit. Now thev are all coaches. Three direct the destinies of Important squads and the other serves as second in command. Jimmy Crowley, "Sleepy" Crowley they called him when he wasn't In action, is the last to take charge of a team on his own. He has suc ceeded to the throne of Harry Klpke at Michigan State.

Assisted Mehre. Jimmy comes up from Georgia, where he handled the backheld un der the baton of another member of that famous Irish team Harry Mehre. He had three years at Georgia and before that was assist ant to Rockne. Harry Stuhldreher la at Villanova College, Pennsylvania, and the lusty little quarterback polished off his team so well last year that at the season's end they were with the elect, the undefeated teams. Elmer Layden was the first of the HC-tre Dame "light fullbacks," stocky bit of human dynamite, fast enough for the dazzling shifts and leints wmch mark a Rockne coached outfit.

He Is at Duquesne. Pittsburg, again, the college proudly UIMMT CROWLEY announcing the signing of a lengthy contract. Don at Ohio State. Don Miller, running mate of Jimmy Crowley, is second youngest of six Miller brothers, all of whom played football for Notre Dame. And it is an odd commentary that In his freshman year Don was not considered good enough for the place which was given his brother.

But hi sophomore year was different and the years after. Don was at Georgia Tech for three year, developing the famous backflelds of the Engineer. At the close of last season he signed with Ohio State a backfleld coach. Gridiron stars step Into coaching Jobs quite naturally, but it i rare that an entire backfleld goe forth to war and perhaps with each other. It is rarer still that they all stick to the job.

With the, exception of Miller, who Is an attorney at law, It Is probable that all will follow the profession permanently. Dakota Ranch Family Has Own Polo Field Pierre, S. D. W) Members of the A. B.

This was won Dy that rogue Distraction colt that is distinctly hitrh-class and could be in the first division if he would, but in nine out of ten starts he'd rather be with the "also rans." Distraction Races Like True Self. Because there were only five start ers Distraction was well supported. The students of form thought he might, in a small field such as yes terday show his real speed.

Con sequently ne was a well-backed third Finite a lukewarm favorite and Curate a poorly backed second choice. Under Jockey Burke's strength and skill Distraction came out of his shell of sulks and won by a scant length. He was always a keen contender. Curate acted as guide during the early ages, with Finite close up in second place. Distrac tion was third.

Turning for home. Finite dropped back and Distraction moved up on the outside. The latter brought the pacemaker to a drive and he began swerving. Burke hit Distraction once with the whip and he closed fast and began drawing away. When Distraction poked his head In front he pinned back his ears.

But tne winning post was at hand and he hadn't time to sulk and lose the race. Curate easily beat Finite for the place honors. Finite isn't within pounds of the horse he was last year. If he gets a letup until Saratoga he Is likely, over that fast track, to show his best form. Whichone Makes Good.

Another son of Chicle, this time Whichone, romped home the win ner of the fifth race, a dash for two-year-olds at five furlongs. This is the colt which last week was heavily backed. It was reported then and confirmed later that his capable trainer, James Bowe had said that there was not a great deal of difference in point of speed, between Boojum, the ace of the Whitney string, and Which one. It was another case of Dice and Distraction in 1927. Whichone in his previous start- his initial periormance was oangea against and cut oil ana he refused to show the speed that wade his private trials memorable.

In that respect he proved to be a true son of Chicle. That family of race horses don't care to be knocked about. In the race yesterday Whichone, coupled with Hatbroom, closed even choice with Peto at 2 to 1. This time Burko rode Peto Instead of McAuliffe. The Rancocas pair, Chan Tung and Grey Gull, were well backed at 7 to 1.

It was only a gallop for Whichone. He broke well at the start, hugged the rail got around the elbow with a lead of two lengths and never was caught. He won very osily. Peto always was second. With Lord Broom scratched in the sixth race, a race for platers with apprentice boys who had not rid den 15 winners as tne pilots, siar nev was made the favorite at 7 to 2.

He took the lead from the start and never was caught. Moore on Onum, second held Club in such tight quarters that the latter was caught in a jam on tne Dacic stretch, and Whorley was tossed to the track. Fortunately Whorley escaped In-Jury. Atelia slipped through on the rail and beat out Onum for second money. Later the stewards dls-aualified Onum because of the foul riding and awarded Donnalee thtr3 money.

His name is Lee Richmond and he pitched one of only five no-hlt, no-run, no-man-reach-first tall games in all the years of major league competition.

More than that, it was the first perfect game ever tumea by a big league mounds-man. Richmond's brilliant performance was staged in a game on July 12, 1880, between his team, Worcester, and Cleveland, both of the National League.
