Rumors Fly as Death Of Phar Lap Shocks World Untimely Death Hinted as Foul Play But Owner Denies Reports MENLO PARK, Calif., April 6.— (APi- Phar Lap, monarch of the Australian turf in his lifetime, is to be sent back to perpetuate the memory of one of the greatest thoroughbreds ever reared under the Southern Cross. The great red gelding, whose untimely death here yesterday stunned the racing world, is to be mounted in this country. A San Francisco taxidermist started on the work today. Although colic has been general ly accepted as the cause of Phar Lap’s death, rumors flew thick and fast today. In some quarters it was hinted the horse had died from poisoning placed in his feed bag. Newspapermen who contacted David J. Davis this morning, how ever, quoted the owner of the horse he valued at $500,000 as saying he had definitely accepted the first findings of the veterinarians. Dr. William Nielsen, who accom * panietl Phar Lap from Australia, attributed death to old fashioned colic, probably induced by eating green feed or dampened barley in a field adjacent to the stable. Ed Perry, owner of the private stables that quartered the horse, said own er Davis had decided upon a chem ical analysis of the stomach con tents to discover if the veterinar ians’ diagnosis was correct. Death of the "Red Terror” of the Antipodes” cut short a re markable career and upset elab orate plans for an invasion of the big tracks of the country. Phar Lap signalized his arrival on this continent with h victory in the Agua Caliente, Hex., handicap March 20. It added $50,050 to his winnings and brought his total earnings to $332,750, within strik ing distance of the world's record of $376,704 piled up by the Ameri can thoroughbred, Sun Beau. Owners of Phar Lap had planned to run their mount at Arlington Park, Chicago, this summer and plans were already under way for races that would bring him togeth er with the crack American horses, Twenty Grand and Mate.

It was not to last long, how- I ever, for toward j closing time dark i clouds again covered the sun and old Oregon “diet” continued. Reinhart opened the drill with his trusty fungo, lacing out flies to the outfield, composed of Wat kins, Bryan, Van Dine, Cuppolleti, and Gee, the latter a new rein forcement to the forces. After a half hour of fly-chasing the men were called in for batting practice. Ike Donin, sophomore pitching prospect, counted the longest hit of the day, a long fly which hit the screen in far left field. Pal mer, Stevens, Chatterton, Mim naugh, Shaneman, and Londahl also did some heavy clouting. If weather conditions remain favorable, Reinhart will have an opportunity to seed out his ma terial. He will have few worries in the fielding department, but the hitting power of the club is ques tionable. Once the “big guns” of the squad regain their eye the sledding should be much easier. Kermit Stevens at short-stop is showing his old time form afield, and a better hitting eye, as well as Londahl at second, and the two veteran outfielders, Mimnaugh and Palmer. There seems to be quite a battle on for several positions. At third base Potter, a one-stripe man,- is receiving stiff competition from Mikulak for steady work at the hot corner. Chatterton, one of the snappiest fielders out, is making the battle all the hotter. At first base there is one letterman, Ches ter, who is stepping aside thus far for a new man, McCall, a natural left-handed first-sacker of excep tional ability. Two outfield positions are effici ently filled by veterans, but quite a war is in prospect for the other garden job. More than a dozen aspiring fly-catchers are fighting it out for the extra, position with little known as to their ability to date. Pitchers have not been given much opportunity to show their wares, but one of these long awaited sunshiny days will bring them their chance. Shaneman seems a cinch for first string catcher, while Captain Londahl is guarding the keystone sack with added vigor.

The California oarsmen are working out on Lake Washington. While Ebright has not yet named his two crews for the races Satur day, the eights which are most likely to start are as follows: Varsity—Ed Salisbury, stroke; Herman Holman, 7; Duncan Gregg, 6; Louis Neuman, 5; Bur ton Jastram, 4; Charles Chandler, 3; Bill Hudgins, 2; and Winslow Hall, bow. Norris Graham is the coxswain. Junior varsity—Jack Dennison? stroke; James Blair, 7; Hays Mc Lellan, 6; Carl tedersen, 5; Ed Hagen, 4; Morris Matheson, 3; “Doc” Tower, 2; Glenn Rogers, bow; and Phil Shipley, coxswain. The freshman eight appears to be fairly definitely settled as far as the men in the bow and stern are concerned, but the waist of the boat is causing Coach Nagler some perplexity, since the men in these positions in the first two boats ap pear to be about even. The combi nation which at present has the edge includes: George Jamiesou, stroke; Marshall Haywood, 7; Tevis Thompson, 6; Carl Berg strom, 5; Robert Walker, 4; John Stage, 3; John Adams, 2; Ward Klink, bow; and'Reg Watt, cox swain. Ebright said today that the training work at Lake Washing ton would probably be limited to racing starts, high stroke and, weather permitting, one time trial. Wilde Topic of Coming Lecture by S. S.

Frosh Slated For Opening Ball Practice First Workout Under New Coach Is at 4 O’Brien Outlines Plans for Year at Meeting; Squad Looks Good All aspirants for the freshman baseball team are asked to report to the practice field at 4 o'clock today for their first workout under their newly appointed coach, Jack O'Brien. In a brief meeting yes terday afternoon with the candi dates for the Duckling squad O'Brien outlined his plans for the approaching season. Because of the transfer of “Prink" Callison, former frosh coach, to the position as head foot ball mentor, yearling baseball con ditions have been in a somewhat muddled state. Only one regular practice has been held so far, and with the playing season rapidly approaching, the yearlings will have to work fast to get into shape. Although the attendance at the gathering yesterday afternoon was small, the turnout this afternoon when practice officially gets under way is expected to be large. In the workout last week a num ber of yearlings showed unusual ability, and the outlook for a base ball team which will live up to the standard set by the football and basketball squads which rep resented the class of 1935 is bright. Players turning out for the squad will be furnished with sox, towels, and pants, but will be required to supply themselves with shoes and gloves. use BASEBALL STARTS WASHINGTON STATE COL LEGE, Pullman, April 6. Wash ington State baseballers will get the first taste of action this week end when they go to Lewiston to oppose the Lewiston Normal school in a series of practice games.

NEIL ( Associated Press Staff Writer) NEW YORK, April 6.— (AP)— John McGraw, firebrand of another and more colorful baseball day, will pass another milestone tomor row—his 55th birthday and the 30th anniversary of his coming to the New York Giants. His hair is snow white now. Some but far from all of the bel ligerency of the fiery youngster who played third base sensation ally for the famous old Baltimore Orioles has gone. The two-fisted umpire-baiting warrior of his early managerial years with the Giants still mixes old fashioned fighting methods with sagacity. McGraw, heading into the new National league campaign with one of the finest of his post-war teams, still shares recognition with Con nie Mack as the peer of all man agers. In 29 campaigns at tho head of the Giants, McGraw has won ten pennants, three world championships and finished out of first division only twice. He alone has ever piloted a major league club to four successive pennants, 1921 through 1924. McGraw’s ambition in life was to study and practice law, but baseball caught him in Olean, N. Y., when he was only 17 years old. That was in the old oil and iron league, not far from his home town, Truxton, N. Y. He was any thing but a sensation. The five days he played at third base he contributed generally to five straight defeats for Olean. "I never will forget the day I was told to sit on the bench and let someone else try the job,” he said once in a fanning bee. "I was a pretty cocky kid, and getting benched was a splendid thing for THURSDAY This Ticket Allows Any Lady One Free Game of Ping Pong!

I never forgot it in handling young men later. “I had been quite a pitcher in Truxton and got as much as $5 a game to go over to Homer and pitch for that club. Being benched at Olean made me do some tall thinking. I realized I had to make good. ’Id told my father that some day I was going to rise in base ball to the point where I’d make $3,500 a year.” Two years ago, when McGraw, now part owner as well as mana ger of the Giants, signed a five year contract, his annual salary was reported as $85,000.
