A. U. basketball tournament in Kansas Ci Tom Churchill, who went to Amsterdam last summer as a member of the U. S. Olympic de- cathlon team, and Bruce Drake, captain this season, are the only left from the champion galaxy. Both are forwards. George Edwards, Missouri coach, hopes his sophomore center pros- pect. Charles Huhn, will prove a find. Huhn soars six and a half inches above six feet and handles himself well. Marshall Craig and Wendell Baker, veteran centers, also are well above the six-foot altitude. Craig is also a guard. Lack of a tall center to get the tip hurt Kansas last season, and Coach “Phog” Allen, nationally known bas- ketball authority, is seeking an elongated pivot man, but has almost despaired of finding one. Aggies Have Veteran Four veterans headed by Captain E. J. Skradski form the basis of the squad at the Kansas State Agricul- tural college. The sophomore crop appears unusually good to Coach Charles W. Corsaut, who tutored the Kansas City, Kas., high school when it won the national title. Coach E.

Willis Shepard, captain of the fraternity outfit and captain of the 1928 Uni- versity of North Dakota football team, proved the star of the game traveling | at a terrific clip throughout the con- | test.

Hornsby, Vance, Cuyler, Bot- tomley, and Hack Wilson’Will Be Found at Old Positions in National League; All of Them 1928 Leaders. By HENRY L. FARRELL Familiar names are found in the majority of the places on the National league's list of distinguished perform- ers for 1928. And those who have not been listed in previous years hardly need an introduction as strangers. In batting, fielding, pitching and base running the familiar names of Rogers Hornsby, Dazzy Vance, Kiki Cuyler, im Bottomley and Hack Wil- son are in accustomed places, and the newcomers, Larry Benton and Taylor Douthit, aren't infant prodigies by several seasons. Mr. Hornsby occupied a role in the year’s doings that he has been well, fitted for by past experience. He lost his job as manager, was traded to an- other club, and led the league in bat- ting for the seventh time in ten years. He now needs only one more year as the champion batter to tie the record of Honus Wagner. Hornsby's average for the year was .387, which was behind his .397 for 1921, .401 for 1922, .424 for 1924, and .403 for 1925, but it was enough to give a comfortable margin over Paul Waner‘s .370 and Fred Lindstrom’s .358, which were second and third be- hind him. Did Some Real Hitting Jim oBttomley, winner of the most valuable player prize, may have been the most valuable hitter in the league with a season's average of .325. Bottomley hit for the most total bases, 362; the most triples; 20; and tied with Hack Wilson for the most home runs with a total of 31. From a_ spectacular standpoint, Larry Benton was the standout pitch- er of the year. He won 25 games and lost 9 and almost pitched the Giants lone-handed into the pennant. He was the fifth on the list of earned run averages with 27.3. Benton also dis- tinguished himself as being the first pitcher since Christy Mathewson who was excused from taking bench orders from John McGraw when he was working. The Dazzler Did Noble Considering the hopeless position he wtas in, the real pitching of the year was done by Dazzy Vance, who, in the opinion of the ball players, is the greatest pitcher in baseball. He won 22 games and lost 10 for a terrible Brooklyn ball club, and with prac- tically no defense but his own skill he held the opposition to 2.09 runs per game and was first on the list. The weight of the burden imposed upon him may be seen in the records, which show that he fanned 200 bat- ters, leading both leagues. It was his seventh year as the strke-oue king of his league, and in that time he has struck out a total of 1338 batsmen. Kiki Cuyler had a tough time get- ting going with the Chicago Cubs, and his batting and fielding suffered the slump didn’t slow him up on his feet and he led the base runners with | 37 steals.

It will be Cavanagh’s first Fargo ap- pearance. ‘ King Tut, Minneapolis lightweight who has battled his way into the front rank of contenders for the ; championship laurels worn by Sammy Mandell, Monday agreed to go through with a scheduled 10 round contest at Fargo New Year's day with Russie LeRoy. Tut was signed more than a week ago to meet LeRoy in the headline event of this coming program, but. Saturday Leo Levitt, Tut’s manager announced that he would be unable to fulfill the engagement because of @ match at Detroit Jan. 4 with Ray Miller. Levitt had signed a Minnesota con- tract to send Tut against LeRoy in Duluth and when he was informed ithgt Hurley intended to force him to live up to the letter of the agreement, Levitt asked Hurley for a comprom- Hurley Boosts Ante Over long distance telephone Levitt explained to Hurley that the program in Detroit meant $1,500 more in actual cash and asked to be released or too have the program in Fargo postponed for two weeks. Hurley refused to consider either offer. He explained that he has more‘than $500 already invested in the promotion of the bout, and that any postponement would kill the interest in the show. Levitt wanted Hurley to pay the difference between the Fargo and Detroit engagements but, as Hurley said, “I couldn't possibly give him $1,500 more than the ofiginal purse calls for but I did agree to boost the ante a little when he absolutely prom- ised to have Tut in Fargo at least four days before the show. To Be Here Friday “I started out to make this match for Fargo as fans have expressed a desire to see the fighter who defeated Billy Petrolle, and I have spared no expense in completing the arrange- ments. Tut will be here not later than Friday and will appear in at least three public workouts before the contest. And, under no circumstances will there be any substitutions,” Hur- ley added. Levitt's effort to cancel his engage- ment in Fargo cost Hurley a pretty Penny and added considerable to the customary woes connected with the Promotion of boxing. He said Mon- day that he has been flooded with in- quiries as to the status of the show, and that it will be a relief to be able to inform the interested parties that the LeRoy-Tut bout is definitely ar- ranged. ‘California, Here I Come,’ Springs Back to Life on Pacific Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 26—(#)—"Cali- fornia, Here I Come,” a once popular song revived by the Georgia School of Technology band after Tech had accepted an invitation to meet the University of California football team at Pasadena Jan. 1, has spread to the theaters and streets here to supplant @ widely sung 1928 campaign song.

New York, Dec. 26.—(}—One of the big baseball upheavals of 1929 seem: about to take place at a corner of the \infleld—third base. On the 16 majo: league clubs only three third sacker: are fixtures for the next campaign. Fred Lindstrom of the Giants, Pinky Whitney of the Phillies and. Willie Kamm of the White Sox. will be reelected without opposition. The St. Louis Cardinals are com- mitted to a scheme to move Frankie Frisch from second base to third, and Pittsburgh is understood to have a plan under advisement by ‘which Pie Traynor would be transferred from third to short. Joe Stripp, who finished the season at third base for Cincinnati, seems to have the call for the regular job, and Brooklyn probably will start with Walter Gilbert, who was stationed at third in the latter stages of the 1928 war, With Glenn Wright to play shortstop, Dave Bancroft may become a third baseman to further compli- cate the situation in the nest of the Robins. Lester Bell, who played third in all the games the Braves engaged in last season, may take off where he left off, although almost every time a ru- mor is blown forth by the trade winds Bell's name is mentioned. The third base situation on the world’s champion Yankees remains to be clarified. Dugan has gone, and close observers doubt that Manager Miller Huggins expects to transfer Koenig from short to third or to turn the job over to the rather immature Jule Wera. Detroit may have to make a trade !for a third baseman unless Manager 3ucky Harris, a lifelong second sacker, attempts to learn new tricks. Marty McManus and Chick Galloway are available, but neither seems tagged to get the call regularly. The Red Sox got two infielders, Bob Reeves and Grant Gillis, from Wash- ington for Myer, and one may take his place at third. The place seems open on the Browns’ infield, and Cleveland is reported about to shift Joe Sewell, with Jackie Tavener, the former Tiger, taking the place at short. i The Athletics split the job three Ways in 1928, with Hale, Dyke and Foxx performing, and the same pro- gram may be followed in 1929. AMERICANS FINALLY WIN OVER RANGERS. New York, Dec. 26—(?)}—The New York Americans, Chicago Black- hawks, and Toronto Maple Leafs in the National Hockey League cele- brated the holiday last night by scof- ing victories of more than usual im- portance.

The victory gave the Americans an undisputed hold on first place in the internation- al group standing as the Montreal Maroons, who had been tied with them, lost.
