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.
Tennis Practice

women’s intramural tennis is sche
duled for “tonight at 5 o’clock,
Vivian Coss, tennis manager, an
nounced yesterday. However, any

A. bulletin board in the women’s

pong tournament being held at the

hitting was car

Coach Bill Rein- [
hart. 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.

PACIFIC COAST NIGHT GAME RESULT
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 6—(AP)—San Francisco made

test here tonight. The score was 8 to 0. The Seals started out in
the opening innings and kept up a steady run during the game.
Davis allowed the Indians five hits, but kept them spread in order
to stage a shutout.
The victory put the Seals in a tie with Sacramento for the first
place in the league.

Ebright Names Crews To
Participate in Lake
Washington Race
SEATTLE, Wash., April 6—
(Special)—With two days of prac
tice remaining before the twenty
eighth annual California-Wash
ington regatta Saturday after
noon, Coach Carroll M. “Ky” Eb
right expressed confidence that
the crews representing the Golden
Bear would put up a stiff fight.
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.

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.

Thirtieth Year as
Giants’ Manager
Realizes Ambition To Put
Out Winning Major
League Club
By EDWARD J. 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

rest of my career. 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

year contract, his annual salary
was reported as $85,000.
