In the language of Swiss Win ter sports, a skeleton is a light, flexible sled made of steel which dashes with its crew over a peril ous course at 70 to 80 miles an hour. The skeleton races consti tute an Olympic event this year for the first time. Cresta Run, the famous tobog gan course constructed here by English sportsmen. Is the scene of the races. It is 3.750 feet long and yet the races are over in a minute or less. The race is not always to the swift, but more of ten to the courageous skillful and strong for steering a sled going 70 miles an hour requires great strength. The race course is an ice-fluting built with extreme exactness, winding in numerous curves from the top, north of St. Moritz, to the finish near Celerina. The record for the whole length is held by the Englishmen By NORMAN E. BROWN Exclusive Central Press Dispatch to The Statesman NEW YORK, Jan. 21. Lean days are upon the New York (Hants. A general discussion here with baseball men brings this con clusion. Nothing short of a miracle will wrest from the hands of the New xork Yankees the monopoly they now hold on baseball Interest here in the big town. The prestige the Giants have held through the years of Mc Q raw's reign has been knocked in to a cocked hat through the fail ure of McGraw or"-Stoneham or both to handle the Hornsby situ ation adroitly, not to say firmly. ine iact mat tne uiants are now left without a counter attrac tion for Ruth is an incidental mat ter compared to the devastation caused in the ranks of the Giants over the partial wrecking of the team and the internal strift re vealed by the Hornsby deal. In other words John McGraw, at a time when his baseball acu men and dynamic personality should be coping with, the Yankee menace, finds himself under a cloud .because of the inability of anyone aboard the Giant bark to explain in lucid, logical fashion, a deal that sent the greatest batter and outstanding star of the Na tional league to a tail-end team for the good of the team." "The good of the team" will not fill a gap in the infield or improve the battlfig strength of the team. The inside story of the trade has not been told. This statement le not -meant to cast any reflections on the char acter or Integrity of any of the men involved. But it can be said definitely that the reason for the shift was not a question of author ity. Tou can bank on that. Benny Leonard, lightweight champion and Thespian, has stolen Gene Tanney's stuff. Not that he intends to fight Jack Dempsey two or three times, but he has gone in for literature and the arts. --The other day Benny took issue: in his dally article for a New York .paper with not less a per sonage than Dr. Bertrand Russell, English philosopher and educator. era Sports DoneBro The doctor hs sUtod, It UNITED STATES mimm S' -T-. : r t. 1 Captain -Webb-Brown and O.

He (Benny) went on to point out that the average boxing bout Is a contest of ecience, etc. Great stuff. Column done for the day. No vlood shed. But not nearly as clever a bit of work as Gene Tunney's debate with George Bernard Shaw. "Delaney Starts Title Chase," is a headline that greets me here. Meaning Jack Delaney, the Can adian sharpshooter, who once held the light heavyweight title. The headline, announcing De- laney's new effort to win heavy weight attention Is new evidence of the popularity he enjoys in New York and the press agenting he has received. But he is no nearer the top of the heavyweight group than he ever was. Perfect! t Nothing short of perfect work, perfect service and perfect cleanliness will satisfy us.
