The New Yorkers, with 380 points, ranked first on the basis of the open ing day's play when American hridge league officials, compiled the Bcore late last night. - Behind them were P. H. Sims, of Deal, N. a., and Wlllard S. Kara. -of New York, the national Individual champion, with 357 points; I. B. Fried and Mrs. Anne Rosenfeld of Cleve land, 349', and L. S. Ames -and Mrs. I.

The "night session" for team compcti'tion, therefore, was limited to; a, few. rounds and no scores wero computed.

By Edward J. Xell (Associated Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK, Dec. 3 P) The tremendous physical strain of three years of varsity football, two base ball and two basketball campaigns put upon a physique that mustered only 145 pounds Is believed to have contributed to the breakdown that has forced Alble Booth into a pri vate san 1 tor ium for months of rest and recuperation". Despite his lack of size, the "Little Boy Blue" of Yale's major teams since his freshman year has put a long and vivid athletic career behind him. At Yale he duplicated his all around athletlo activities through four years In 'a New Haven High school and a year at MUford school. In addition he worked every bit of bis way. Delivered Milk With two brothers, Albie conducted a milk route that forced him out of bed each morning of his high school days at 4 a. m- that provided him with funds to stay in school. When he landed at Yale, Albie sold automobiles to pay. his bills. There have been university honors aside from athletic laurels to fill the time of the rugged yttle fellow who was the first of modern Yale ball carriers to gain more than 100 yards from scrimmage- in a single season. Booth captained footballt basket ball and baseball teams in his fresh man year, captained his last varsity football squad, and was captain-elect of the basketball five. He roamed over the baseball team, playing short stop, third base or center field equal ly well. He won five varsity letters, In baseball and football, besides two minor awards In basketball. Not since Mai A Id rich captained both the football and basebail teams In his senior year has Yale boasted an athlete as versatile as Booth. I tooth Refuses Ho might have, set a record never before, equalled In Yale history by accepting the baseball captaincy to add to the honor football and bas ketball paid him, after Edgar War ren, captain elect, lost an arm last August in a motor boat accident. The boys decided to elect Alble. But Booth shook his head. "Ed will be out there yet," he said. " Warren probably will be, but Booth has finished his varsity career. He will need at least four months rest in the Gaylord sanitarium at Walling ford fighting off a pleurisy infection and the danger of a more serious lung ailment. 'SSc&S&i By Lauf er SUSSESfeD By UOHM J. VBZi, ! Sport Slants J Uy Alan J. Gould (Associated Press Sports Editor) "Whether the magnates or the managers admit it or not, the fact is that .two of major league baseball's principal ..-.problems are the chain store sysu.fi. and drinking by the players,','., " iremarked a prominent baseball, leader, to me recently. Ob viously his name and identity must remain anonymous. "The sensational success of the fit. Louie-' Cardinals in organizing their, system of minor league clubs has been, watched with interest and considerable antagonism?" he con tinued. -Tiandls voiced sharp dis approval Of this system, but It is stronger ' now than ever. "Ac I see- it, other big league clubs will be foroed to adopt the Idea, un less ithey "are to be consistently out stripped' by auch teams as the Car dinals, always possessing a wealth of talent from which to build and replace. The Yankees have taken a step In tfmt direction. "It Is nothing new, of course, for a big league club to have one or two farms but apparently that Isn't enough. "Certainly most clubs cannot af ford now to build mainly by going out into the open market and pay ing fancy prices for minor league stars. Three years .ago that was all right, with nearly every team mak ing big money and some of them turning over gold mines. Times are different now and the chain store system looks better than ever. "Curbing the appetites of the athletes for high life is another very vital matter facing many teams. It Is no secret that big salaries have meant trouble with many players not wise enough to know that their success cannot last if they fail to keep in condition. I can cite you a half dozen examples of high-priced performers, at ieast one getting as much as 7 $3 5, 000 a season, who flopped because they' hit the booze and the night life. "Often it is a question of smart handling.. A keen manager can do a lot to keep his men In proper con dition , without bearing down too heavily, establishing Ironclad rules or putting; detectives on their trail. "Right now or before the 1932 season starts there may be a house cleaning or two that will startle you and mark the shifting of several stars who 'couldn't stand the glare of the spotlight or show enough sense to put a share of their earn ings in the bank." VOTE FOR WILKERSOX "Oklahoma has never had first team recognition in the all-America scramble," writes Bus Ham from Oklahoma City in nominating Wil kerson, Oklahoma City university's star tootle, for all-star honors this season. "He is perhaps the greatest lineman the state has ever produced 6 feeti (lj inch,' 208 pounds, a smasher and excellent pass receiver. Oklahoma City had nine straight victories, tjp to and including Nov. 16 and may wind up the season with 12 in a row." Just to pass the time away or, perhaps, really to find out what the French sports fan thinks about, the Parisian newspaper L'Auto conduct ed a contest among its readers with tho result that the most noteworthy athletic record-breaking achievemtnt of recent years was declared to be Paavo Nurmi's feat of covering near ly 12 miles,, in one hour's footracing at Berlin,-'' In 1928. The field was wide open but not even patriotic impulses prompted better than a second place for Junes Ladoumeguc. the Frenchman who recently startled the track world by racing a mile In 4 minutes, 9 1-5 seconds. So faiv as speed is concerned. For Deep Coughs You Need CnTm ia nnt tlm . otis.nB.f help for coughs or colds. It is made to do the utmost whatever the con dition.

Here's L'Auto's list, as decided by the popular poll: i. Nurmi's hour . running record of 19 kilometers 210 meters. 2. Ladoumegue's mile record of 4 minutes 9 1-5 seconds. 3.

Harold Oeborn's high Jump of 6 feet 8',4 inches. 10. John Welssmuller's 100-meter swim in 57 2-5 seconds. LOCKE EVEN BETTER Three American names, Locke, Os born and Welssmuller, will be noted, Locke, incidentally, ran' 220 yards, or slightly more than 200 meters, actually in 20.5 seconds for a world's record. The University of Nebraska's flier was never credited with this figure, however, because the I. A. A. F. at the time did not recognize tenth-second watches as legal and proper. However, it did the next best thing by an- amusing bit of parlia mentary Juggling at Amsterdam in 1928. The federation added a tenth of a second to the time, making It 20.0 seconds of 20 3-5, and placed it on the books as a world's record, Cator's broad Jump record, it may also be noted, has been surpassed by a Japanese, Nam'bu, who cleared 20 feet 214 inches at Tokyo recently. BUIT1SII OPPOSE U. S. BALL Great Britain, from what my Lon don scouts report, does not like the balloon golf ball, whether it is heavier or not, and the Royal and Ancient authorities of St. Andrews havn nn idea whatever of changing the size or weight of the ball to conform to new American standards; Most British golfers, but particu larly the professionals who had sad experiences with tho balloon ball In Ohio last summer, believe that tho great Yankee experiment is a "bust." As proof, they point to the faot. that the United States Golf association felt obliged to yield to a storm of criticism by adding more weight to the ball. Sell 3000 Pounds Oregon Cherries THE DALLES.
