They’re mak- ing a joke of this cutting business. If they keep it up, pretty soon the Public’s going to want its cut too. ‘Then where'll they be? I haven't heard of them reducing admission prices.” The home run star indicated he'd sign a contract for $80,000 for one year or a two-year contract for $70,000. Col. Jacob Rupert, at least at pres- ent, is unperturbed by Ruth's refusal to accept the Yankee'’s first offer. “I do not think we can do better than a one-year contract. at $70,000,” Colonel Rupert said. “I haven't talk- ed with Ruth yet but we will discuss the matter and I am sure we can reach an agreement quickly. We have never had much trouble to do so be- tore.” Airplane Travel NouR HUSBAND HAS FOUR-FLUSHER Ai DEAD-BEAT ¢ im tu 7 Nase ¢ Q' KG ME B10 FoR OVER SEVEN NEARS ~AND I Date HESITATE Now IN SAMINNG 47 “THAT HE IS A BIG NOTHING WouULD GIVE ME GREATER PLEASURE “THAN PUNCHING HIS OUR BOARDING HOUSE OWED DusT Now, But I AD ~— PUZZLE FACE THE MASOR ISNT IN HAPPEN TO BE HIS WIFE “~~ AND BY WHAT RIGHT HAS A GARGOYLE LIKE You GOT LEAVING A Race “To come HERE AND “TALK “10 ME UKE “THAT 2 ~ NOwW:GET, BeFoRE.

If Levinsky, whose most recent import- ant achievement was a 10 round de- ision over Tommy Loughran, whom he knocked down three times, can even get the durabel Basque off his feet, the most doubting will believe he can punch. | Levinsky can’t box a lick, and his campaign of battle will be the same as usual—climb into the ring and start swinging with his right. What little wagering there has been, has been shown at 8 to 5 and 7 to 5, that the Basque will win the decision.

Lake Mir- ror and Lake Placid were almost bare of ice. There were green spots on brown fields and lawns. No date for the bob sleigh prelim- inaries orginally scheduled for Friday and Saturday can be set definitely un- til cold and snow return. The ice layer on the bob run, pains- takingly frozen on with sprayer streams of water to depths as great as ten inches, has wilted away except on ‘the upper reaches of the slide, the Nant and most spectacular run ever uilt. It is estimated that at least four days of freezing weather will be need- ed to put the slide’ back in condition. One four-man bobsled team is head- ed by Billy- Fpyke, who captained the winning combination in 1928 at St. Moritz, another by’ Henry Homberger, of Saranac Lake, who set a world rec-; ord of one minute 52 seconds for the 114 mile run on the slide here last winter, and a third by Hunter Good- rich of Milwaukee, a former winner of the Grant National run on the Cresta course at Saint Moritz. S Thus far the winter Olympics dele- igation from Japan, a formidable look- ing outfit and the only nation already at full strength here, has been the center of attraction. Japanese Bring Retinue The Japanese brought two figure{ skaters, four speed skaters, nine skiers and a complete retinue of cooks and attendants, and they were earliest iu camp. Each day the skaters work out for hours in the huge Olympic jarena on the artificial ice surface and their form has aroused much favor- able comment. The youngest competitor in the en- tire Olympic program that runs here from Feb. 4 through Feb. 13 and winds up in Los Angeles next summer is little Miss Cecilia Colledge, 11 year old figure skater from Great Britain, who finished second in the British na- tional championships a few weeks ago. She arrived Thursday with her train- er. The girl who defeated her for the British title, 12-year-old Megan Tay- lor, is expected Saturday.
