Warmerdam Out to Crack Vault Roof Flying Dutchman Tries Again, This Time at Chicago; Rice Races Dodds By TOMMY DEVINE CHICAGO. March 20 (UP) Cornelius Warmerdam, a calm California high school teacher classroom work with flying trips in track meets, tonight will attempt anew to establish a 18-foot 'ceiling" for the pole vault when Chicago relays. The outstanding figure in every indoor meet in wmcn ne nas participated this season, Warmerdam specifically is gunning to break his own worm s record ot 15 feet 71 inches, set earlier this season at Boston, but his per sonal ambition is to reach the lofty 16-foot mark. I It Is taken for granted that the lithe Olympic club repre sentative will break the meet record of 14 feet, 6i inches which was set in 1939 by Earle Mea dows of Southern California, and relay officials have attempt ed to provide Ideal conditions for his 16-foot attempt. A spe cial runway 140 feet in. length has been constructed and the last 36 feet of it have been paint ed black to eliminate glare .in the vaulter's eye which might possibly mar a take-off. When Warmerdam made his record-breaking leap at Boston he used a 131-foot runway. Opposing Warmerdam in the pole . vault and attempting to provide the competition which will spur him to a new mark will be Meadows, Kenny Dill of California, last year's winner; Jack Defield of Minnesota, Milt Padway and BiU Williams of Wisconsin; Bob Kinchloe of Chi cago and Ed Thlstlewaite of Northwestern. Secondary feature of the meet will be the renewal of the rival ry of Greg Rice, the former Notre Dame star now running for the New York A.

Toimerl in Brooklyn; Bums Fans Boined Over Benching of Dixie By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK, March 19 (UP) That wild-eyed tribe described scientifically as Brooklyn Dodg er baseball fans has sprung to arms over the annual spring brushoff being administered to Fred (Dixie) Walker, idol of Eb- bets field. We went on safari to Flatbush today , to register the Brooklyn ites' reaction. And brother, did we get it I Our first reaction is that the Indians were lucky to part with their partisan section of New York for a bucket of beads. They would have needed more than bows and arrows to control this riot. And those original in habitants, at their worst, prob ably would have been more len ient with President Larry Mac Phail and Manager Leo (the Lip) Durocher, "Berl 'em In erl," snarled a hack driver, voicing the general opinion, regarding the club's treatment of Walker by once again shunting him to the Dodg er second team. Dixie, 31-year-old Scotch-Irish man from Georgia, could run for president in Brooklyn and win hands down.

California Bans Sportsmen 'Minute Men1 SAN FRANCISCO, March 20 (UP) State and city officials condemned Thursday a proposal for creation of units of armed "minute men" as a home guard and suggested hunters, marks men, and othor sportsmen Join existing and recognized organ izations. The plan was put forward by sportsmen's organizations and a group seeking reorganization of the present state guard. It con templated the organization of California's nimrods into "hunt" packs, patrols and platoons to serve under county sheriffs for patrol and protection ot thelr home communities. Brig. Gen. Joseph O. Donovan, head of the state guard, said armed minute men acting on their own would not be tolerated here or In any other part of the state.

This winter the Dodgers ob tained Johnny Rizzo from the Phillies and the exhibition sea son opened on that old favorite note. Rizzo was in the varsity garden and Walker is back on the "B" team. This "boins up" the Dodger fans. They point to Dixie's per formance in the National league stretch race with St. Louis lBst season when he doubled and then scored for the 1-0 Brooklyn triumph which shattered the Cardinals' pennant hopes. The league of Dixie Walker rooters showered the Dodger spring training camp with a hordo of letters, telegrams and telephone callsdemanding that its man be put back in right field. "Walker isn't with us because he isn't In shape," was Duroch er's retort to the lobbying. ) Refuting this, the Dixie Walk er Chowder society points out that he blasted a homer to win for the "B" team against the Browns Sunday. r "This Walker protest business is silly," MacPhall said. "Be sides, Durocher Is manager and he's the one deciding who's go ing to play not the fans." But regardless of these re marks by the head man, five bucks will get you 10 in Flat bush that the scoreboard reads, "Walker, RF," when hot weather rolls around.
