(®) Major League club owners and other dignitaries of the National pastime were clustered here Monday for the final get-to- gether before the opening of the 1932 campaign. The occasion was the annual mid- winter schedule meetings, the Ameri- can League Monday the National Tuesday. Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, with a new black Fedora, was on hand to preside. There was very little business to be transacted in either league. Techni- cally, the purpose of the meetings was to approve the schedules drafted by Presidents John P. Heydler of the ———<_—_—_______.

J. “Doc” Cooke, the grand-daddy of the Gopher athletic department. “Retire,” frowned the well- known basketball coach of former years after playing his daily game of squash racquets, “I'll not re- tire till they retire me.” Only two or three men at the school can beat him at squash racquets. To show he meant it he began Monday his 36th year at the school. He is the oldest man in the Big Ten conference in point of service at one school save Amos Alonzo Stagg at the Uni- National League and William Har- ridge of the American last month. Actually the confabs do little more than provide a fine opportunity for the boys to get together on any last- minute trades and, in several in- stances, permit club managers to get acquainted with new players. Tony Lazzeri, veteran Yankee in- fielder, was understood to be on the auction block. The Chicago White Sox admittedly were interested in Tony. The only thing standing in the way of a deal was said to be Chi- cago’s reluctance to part with a first class pitcher, for instance Ted Lyons. One of the big attractions of Sun- day night's banquet was Hack Wilson, pride and joy of the Brooklyn Robins. Wilson was scheduled to visit Eb- bets field Monday and sign his new contract, said to call for $15,000 and a bonus clause, less than half what he received from the clubs last season. versity of Chicago. His tall, spare frame, piercing dark eyes, ready wit, and quick repartee belied his 63 years crammed with memories of past triumphs and amusing occur- en 'm still young enough to get a thrill out of a game, Any kind of a game. I like them all, prob- ably baseball the best.” He was quite a pitcher in his day at the University of Vermont, where he got his M. D. He can still chuckle over the past during which time he coach- ed the Gopher basketball team of 1929 to a Big Ten title without losing a game. PLAN KIDDER TOURNEY Dawson, N.

Northwestern, fighting for a second straight title, stands at the top, un- defeated in six games; Minnesota is in hot pursuit with four victories and one defeat, Michigan has won four out of six, while Purdue, the pre- season favorite to take the title from Northwestern, has won two of its three starts. Ohio State and Illinois have won three and lost two, and still must be ranked as contenders, although their paths from now on, will be anything but smooth. Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and Chicago, each defeated four times, have no chance of finishing near the top unless the leaders fall to pieces, Minnesota appears to be North- western’s biggest threat, largely be- cause of its schedule arrangment. The Gophers have seven games left, and only Tilinois, which will be met twice, is ranked as a first division team. Beside Illinois, Minnesota will meet Towa twice, Wisconsin twice, and In- diana, which was defeated, 37 to 35, in their first engagement. ° Northwestern, however, has return games with Michigan and Ohio State, both of which were overcome by one- point margins at Evanston; a pair with Purdue and return battles with Indiana and Iowa. Only the Iowa jcontest and one with Purdue will be Played at Evanston, leaving the Wild- cats a tough row to hoe. Michigan also has a hard schedule ahead, but will play four of its six games at home. Purdue must pack in nine games. Only one conference game is sched- uled for this week, Chicago meeting Towa at Iowa City Saturday night. The loser will become sole owner of last position.

Coach Clem Letich used two complete teams against the ‘Manitobans and the scoring went steadily ahead without interruption. Manitoba presented two smooth performers in Garrick, forward, and Nitchuk, center, who scored all the field goals for their team and played excellent floor games. Big Ted Meinhover, North Dakota center, led the scoring with 19 points.

Burnie Maurek, state game and fish commissioner, said expenditures of the department are placed in four classifications—propogation, enforce- ment, administration and miscellan- eous. “To propagation,” he said, “is charted suey expenditures for. trapping anc ibution of Hungarian part- ridges and Chinese pheasants; main- tenance and salary charges in con. nection with the operation of the fish hatcheries; and expense of delivering fish and fry for stocking purposes to various waters of the state. Wardens’ salaries and travel ex- Penses, together with the rewards Paid in connection with the arrest and conviction of violators of the game laws, come under the head of enforcement. In the cost of administration is in- cluded the salary of the commission- er and deputy commissioner, clerks and office rental and expense. Department’s Funds ‘Miscellaneous charges include cost Pe rerd licenses and game os pul charges, expenditures for the construction of dams and other conservation projects. Percentage of department expendi- ture charged to each activity of de- Partment work is: Propagation 38 per cent, enforcement 31 per cent; administration 23 per cent, and mis- cellaneous eight per cent. Of each $1.50 paid as a fee for a hunting license,, Maurek explained, 57 cents is expended for propagation work, 47 cents for enforcement activ- ities and payment of wardens’ salar- ies and travel expenses, 35 cents for administrative work, and 11 cents for miscellaneous charges. The fee paid for a license is but a small portion of the outlay incidental to a hunting trip, he added, but from these fees and no other sources the game and fish department carries on its activities. The importance of the propagation activities, brought about by decrease in the numbers of many varieties of wild life through an increase in the number of hunters and anglers with- in the state together with variations in rainfall and other causes, is shown by @ 28 per cent increase in amount of funds expended for that work now as compared to 1909-10, Maurek pointed jout.
