By EARL J. HILLIGAN 18.—‘Say, that a ball player, DETROIT, Aug. guy at third isn't he's a wire fence! A New York newspaper man, up in the press box covering a Detroit Tiger-Yank series, made that re-| mark one day after Marvin Owen, | Tiger third sacker, had just made two spectacular plays on hard hit drives down the third base line. The newspaper man, wondering when Owen would make a bobble— and still wondering at the end of a game in which Owen had han- dled numerous chances flawlessly, | was expressing the samé opinion 5f Owen that the fans in Detroit have had of him since the start of the pennant chase. Owen has been one of the sur- prising reasons why the Tigers are well up in the pennant race. sessor of a pair of the largest hands in baseball, he'has fielded brilliantly and has compiled a healthy batting average of around .335. His improvement is one of the most astonishing individual achieve- ments of the se n. vall player last year, he played list- lessly and heartlessly. He was ill with hay fever and sinus trouble and because he had to save all his energy for actual competition, he never practiced. After the season he went to a hos- pital and this year his health has been restored. He is covering an “acre of terri-|. tory” this year. His fine throwing arm permits him to take plenty of time on his tosses to first. At the plate he takes a full swing and steps into pitches. Expected to be a weak link in the infield, Owen now is one of its strongest units, and his aggressiveness has inspired other members of the squad their play. Early in the spring Cochrane tried to buy Pinky Higgins from Connie Mack. He was afraid Owen would not come through. Today, Cochrane is happy that the Hig- gins deal fell through, and terms Owen as good a third baseman as there is in the league.

BABE TOPS ' MONEY-MAKERS “Who made the most money through his athletic efforts, Babe Ruth or Jim Londos?” asked John G. Case, sports editor of the Wa- tertown (N,Y.) Dally Times. It may be closer than a lot of folxs figure but there’s no question the Babe is away out in front. Over a stretch of 21 years, includ- ing 1934, Ruth's salary checks from ‘the Boston and New York clubs have aggregated $900,000. 1If you include what the Bambino as collected from outside sources f* revenue, such as sundry en- motion pictures, syn- dicates and the radio, the total is closer to two million. { Londos was not in the big wres- tling money until aboui four or five years ago. Rather, it would be more accurate to say wrestling was not in the big #Sney until it boomed surprisingly about the same time the depression was hit- ting all other sports, During the last three or four years, Londos has averaged close to $100,000 per year and it is prob- able his total purses over the same period as Ruth's major league ' activity have amounted to $700,000. The misleading part of this, how- ever, is that Jeem is lucky if he personally got half that much. By the time his managers, handlers and other agents get their "sl\rm"“ the profit is substantially reduced.’ There are fewer by-products on which the “rassler” can cash in. | e | MOTHER SERIOUSLY ILL } BUT CAN'T GET | | SOUTH Dr. E.
