The most sigfiificant indication of the eventual return of outdoor lpor'u‘nlcflvitiu in Nassau is the long awaited pow-wow next Monday night between representatives of 'the midget auto drivers and the Freeport park commission. (Since the close of the football season last fall, the park eormissioners have been more or less in seclusion. Just Messrs. Kedenburg, Dorman and Siege! have been whiling away the time between seasons is a deep, dark rs ¥ ~gecret, but the mere fact that they are now rubbing their eyes, stretching their limbs, are preparing to greet the . daylight again is a definite indication of spring. For eight or nine months each year, the stadium and its ‘nuust'triumviute make strenuous efforts towards monopolizing the local sports headlines. Naturally, the €ommissioners have a great line of argument to back up their claims, since at the present writing the Freeport stadium is the only such outdoor sports center which this area can boast. It has as yet to be revealed for public consumption, the methods en’a'nloyed individually and collectively by the @oimmissioners, to absorb their many idle hours during the winter: I am thoroughly convinced that their respective leisure time must be heavy on their hands. So it must he with considerable relish and with the anticipation n\ p.enty of fireworks to take the dull edge off the daily routine, that the commission is looking forward to the get-together on Monday night with the racing gang. As aggressive a collection of sports people as you'll find anywhere on the map, the drivers and their repre- Sentatives are prepared to throw down their gauntlet and let, it go at that. They're ready for action and intend to ' stick to their guns. They have been invited to meet with the commission to iron out the numerous rough spots which now offer considerable resistance to the usually well giled machinery of midget auto racing. - Fireworks In Prospect - From sources close to the drivers, I've sneaked the informa- tion that the boys have their battle lines drawn and that they will refuse to back paddle. That may or may not be the truth, Irv. as certain as my informant was that the drivers are set for a pitched battle, I'm positive that they'll meet their matches in the stadium , trio. The issue, if it can be so termed, concerns the two-night-a-week racing program which is to be inaugurated at the stadium as soon s the weather permits. The news that motorcycle racing has been definitely shelved in favor of the midgets came as a pleasant sur- prise to both fans and drivers, although I have yet to be convinced that the plan will prove practicable. 'The move naturally opens the way to a bigger prize monéy pot to the boys who wheel those cut-down jitneys around the dirt saucers. Add to this the fact that Freeport operates one of the best tracks in the east and has for the past two years kept the turnstiles clicking at a merry clip. 'The drivers, being of a keen business nature, have not been slow to realize Ahe possibilities of a longer stand at the stadium. The issue that will be involved in Monday's meeting is that of the actual setup for racing. It is no secret that the stadium, in behalf of-its patrons, is not quite satisfied with the racing agreement among the drivers. For the last two seasons, inter- est fell off alarmingly at various periods of the campaign for the reason that one or two drivers were riding off with all of the dough and leaving nothing except exhaust fumes and 'plenty of black cinders for their mates to share. Fans are quick to note any letdown of this kind and they waiged their protests in no uncertain fashion. The commissioners, always working in the best interests of the folks who visit the box office, have decided to lay down the law and insist that a more practical arrangement be made by the drivers. % - New Racing Plan Proposed - Under usual racing policies, the drivers hold time trials once or twice during the period of a season. The fastest cars are «warded the choice spots in the regular racing lineup. The first ear in line is the fastest and the last car, the slowest. During the past two seasons, chaps like Bill Schindler, Johnny Duncan and Wild Bill Holmes have monopolized top honors. Al- though the records are not handy for verification, I don't doubt that 7 out of every 10 races for the 1935 and 1986 seasons were won by one of these three. The atadiam fathers are anxious that the boys toms out % their systems and supplant it with another which they believe will not only promote better racing but more exciting duels, which the cash customers won't mind slapping down their works plan outlined by the commission and hatched the order would be reversed. The installed in rear positions, with the : This seems to be a sensible and the slower cars are hopelessly out the present setup, If they were shoved line they would have at least some kind the drivers with the faster cars, who should be whle to make up the difference in a lap or so, would be really demonstrate their experience and speed. I have an iden that the drivers who speak for the association won't like the plan, because I understand they are the chaps who win most frequently. But if the drivers do have an organization, it seems that their spokesman should be instructed to volce the ”mummm group.

Each nation has just one reli- able and the strain that will be put on the shoulders of 1'l Bunny Austin when England opens de- fense of the international tennis hy next July probably will be trific at to cost her the cup. As for the others: Ge has the bounding Baron Gottfried Von Cramm; Australia has Adrian Karl Quist and Uncle Sam has red-headed Don Budge. You can take it from tall Davey Jones, who went from one light blue to another, first as captain of Columbia's tennis team and then of the Cambridge forces in Eng» land, in 1934, John Bull virtulklz has lost the cup. because younger players aren't ready to be thrown into the breach left when Fred Perry turned pro. Jones thinks Australia will win. \The competition this year ought to be peculiarly close be- cause each of the 'big four\ has only one dependable singles play- er,\ said Jones, who is making his first bid for the U. S. indoor sin- gles championship at the 7th regl~ ment armory. He looms as one of Champion Greg Mangin's most serious threats. \The British Lawn Tennis as- sociation is working with Charlie Hare, Eddi®#*Filby, Donald Shayes and Jimmy Jones (no relation) but they won't be ready for big- time play for a couple of years,\ he continued. \Pat Hughes, who plays cup doubles with Charlie Tuckey, probably will be Austin's singles mate, but he really doesn't like to play singles, although he can beat any one of the four young- sters right now. I don't see how England can win and my choice is Australia. \You see Australia, with- Quist, has probably the best all-around amateur of the day. He's just as good at doubles as he is in singles, and I think Crawford, if the chips are down, can really produce one victory. \Don Budge, in opinion is a liftle young to do the job alone, that is win two singles matches and share a doubles victory with Gene Mako. Personally I'd give the other singles assignment to Bitsy Grant.\ Jones played in England and on the continent four years while attending Cambridge. He attract- ed considerable attention with his high kicking service, which last year reminded old timers at Wim- bledom of Ellsworth Vines and other power hitters among former amateurs.

Battle in Hippodrome Ringflnighi ADVISORY BOARD |Victory For Tommy Rozzi P ALOWS PROTEST | Will Assure Spot in Final: OF OILERS CAME Clash With Valley Stream To Be Replayed March 20, Other Action The much discussed game be- tween the Grasser Oilers of Long Beach and the Valley Stream Ath- letic club, which resulted in a vic- tory for the Maroons on February 20th, will be replayed at the Val- ley Stream court on March 20th, it was learned from the advisory board of the Nassau County Ama- teur league today. The Maroons won the 0 game between the two teams but complications developed when it was learned that Valley Stream had agreed to postpone it until March andhad used an ineligible player. The advisory board after consid- ering the fact for some time at its meeting at the Freeport Elks club yesterday, decided to have the ame replayed and ordered Valley tream to drop Daniel Quinn from its roster. Quinn will be remembered as one of the stars of the Lynbrook Casey teams of several years ago. He resides at 146-53 groom le matically bars him from l e competition because of the Nassau resident rule. The Valley Stream victory over the Malverne fraternity club, scored on February 6th at Valley Stream, was also awarded to Mal- verne because of the use of Quinn. 'The question of stage basketball, e question which has been raging within the organization for some time, came up for considerable discussion and finally was voted out. The motion to cover the issue stated that no member team or in- dividual members of the N. C. A. B. L. could hereafter participate in stage competition. Any team or members violating the rule would automatically draw suspension of one year from the date of the infraction. The Hempstead Alumni official- ly resigned from the league be- cause of its inability to have a complete team at any future games. The league immediately adopted a rule to the effect that should any team withdraw during the season at any future date and forfeit its games it would forfeit its bond and lose its membership for the remainder of the season, thereby forcing it to apply as a new mem- ber the following year. To Revise Rules President Andrew Cunningham announced | that - the - advisory board, Jack Schultz of the Hemp- stead Sentinel and Ed Binneweg of The Review-Star would func- tion on a rules committee to pre- pare a new set of rules for the 1937-38 season, which would be adopted on April 4. The Tally-Ho protest of the St. Dominic's victory of February 21 was thrown out. 'Tally-Ho protest- ed because a league referee was not available and Ed Gregg, league treasurer, worked the game. The advisory board pointcd out that a recedert had been made in 1935 which Mr. Gregg could fill in should no referee be on hand. The advisory board reported that Redmond Hogan of the Grass- er Oilers had been investigated and found to be eligible for com- petition in the county circuit. To refute arguments that Eddie O'Brien, Syracuse crack middle- distance runner, is below his 1936 form because of three defeats in- doors this winter, Coach Tom Keane points out that two of these events this year were won in fast- er time than O'Brien established in his '36 triumphs. He still be- lieves O'Brien will hit the victory» column when the latter regains the \urge\ to win. \Sandy\ Sands, Texas university speed merchant trying out for in outfield job with Pittsburgh, led the Longhorn in ba his last year there with a cool 448 average. ) i} is & ti? 3 ng */ boulevard, Rosedale, which auto- |.

After losing out by a single point to Bellmore in their most re- cent start, the Frat club warriors are a poor choice to down the strong Freeport quintet which is only one setback marring its rec- ord. The Commerce quintet, defend- ing champion in the circuit, has performed successfully against the cream of Nassau's court combina- tions and should have little trouble staying in the winning column against the comparatively weak invading team.
