EW YORK, February for the 1927 base ball season is at its height. but there is considearble doubt as to whether the figures will actually mount as high as the strident tones of ‘the ballyhoo. No ball player has had more trivial boosting than Ruth and now his sal- ary will be harped upon from one end of the country to the other. How ever, any alleged threats that he m make about his occupation for 1927 wiill have about as much effect in the | effice of the New York Yankees as| peas rattling on a tin roof. 1f Ruth does not wish to play base ®all, Col. Ruppert, the owner of the Yanks, cannot make him. If the home run clouter does wish to play base bali, the New York club knows about how much it will pay him and the ante is not going to be raised so that the roof will be lifted from its Joists. 5 The exact value of Ruih to the Yanks is not so t as his worship- ful friends may think. When Ruth was not in favor with the .rules of hase ball and did not appear with the Yanks, and when he was in favor and did not play ball much Dbetter than a dub from the bushes the team went right on and did business—and most of the time did as well without Ruth as with him. A great star draws about so much at tbe gate. Ruth has drawn many thousands to see him try‘to bat home runs, and probably he will draw many thousands more. But a winning team, whether it has Ruths or Mathew- sons or Cobbs, will draw an average attendance as great as that drawn by a team with a star who is purely an individualist. If Ruth were to play with the Yanks in 1927 and they were to have a sec ond-division year, his drawing power at the gate would hardly be helpful. His greatest success with the Yanks has been his ability to help the team win pennants. One vear he helped like a chained wheel on a cart trying to go up hill. and yet the team went on and won without him. Alleged high salaries are often fan- tasies of the imagination. Now and then a ball player gives out his salary, but no ball player on earth ever told what his salary actually was unless he were married and his wife held a.rolling pin_on him. The wise ones never tell what they get be- cause they find it more economical. It is safe to say that Ruth for the next seagon con drow more money semi-monthly than he drew in 1926, but he will not be awarded 50 per cent of the gross receipts of Yankee Sta- dium by the man who owns the park. EMIL MEUSEL SIGNS TO PLAY FOR ROBINS By the Associsted Press. NEW YORK, Pebruary 12.—Emil Beusel, slugging sutflelder, who pur- chased ‘his release from the New York Glants last Summer, will park his glove in_the Brookiyn outer gardens this year:-- The controversy arising out of con- flicting claims of the Dodgers and Cin- cinnati Reds was settled today, when Manager Jack Hendricks announced e had waived all clailn on Meusel's pervices. Hendricks said he had Jearned that his bid for Meusel fol- Jowed that of Wilbert Robinson, presi- dent of the Brooklyn club. Both managements announced al- most simultaneously Thursday night that Emil, brother of Bob. Yankee star, had accepted terms for 1927. Robinson said Meusel had signed the Dodzer contract, calling for a $10,000 salary, and had forwarded it from Tollywood. where he is engaged in moving pictures for the Winter with Bob. “We were too late and T am sorry.” Hendricks said today. “We had ac- cepted terms, but waited too long to close the deal, and Robbie came along and took the player before we knew what it was all about.” Hendricks sought Meusel during con- sideration of the trade that sent Ed- die Roush to the Giants in exchange for George Kelly. Although Kelly is @ first baseman. Hendricks said he might switch the lengthy hitter to center field. leaving Wally Pipp on the first sack. in an cffort to fill the gap Jeft in the Red outer works by the | trading of Roush and failure to secure | Meusel. .

ROBABLY the golfer doesn't exist who hasn't been told to “let the club do the work.” If he hasn’t been told that he must have started his golf career yesterday., though it is doubt- ful if he could make his first tour of a course without having some one tell him to “let the club do the work.” This bit of advice differs from most golf advice in that it always has been and always will be good advice. The trouble is that most golfers don't know how to let the club do the work. To get at the knack of it, which really is one of the most important things in the whole golf swing, go about it this w Stand at the ad- dress position ith, say, a driver. Now start it swinging back and forth easily, making sure that you merely let it swing. Do not force it in the least—just let it swing. As it swings, let the length of the swing increase— gradually, But as the length of the swing increases make sure that the club merely swings itself as you let it go forward. Now plice a ball in position and prepare to drive this one ball by first making vour club swing back and forth in easy, unforced swings, e\ - - = e e | the clubhead passing over the each time.

The result will amaze vou. Having thus observed what the club will do when you let it do its own work, vou have only to observe yourself until you are able to detect the difference between actually let- ting the club swing and swinging with an_unnecessary pressing of the You should be able to what actually constitutes pre ing. and will be if you go ab it in this way. Practice this method until you can swing the club at a rapid pace, but without pressing it, and you will have a correct golf sw The chances are it is plain pressing that ruins your golf shots, not any inherent inability to swing the club.

(Jerry) Parkers' Woodward School tossers of the Y. M. C. A. have entered the home stretch of their basket ball season. The team's next engagement is with Strayer's, at the “Y” on February 18, in a game postponed from last month. It also is expected that Western will be en- gaged at the “Y,” and another game with Episcopal High. which was met Thursday, may 'be arranged. Freder- icksburg, Va., High also may be listed for a tilt there. A most creditable showing has been made by the Woodward boys, who have scored over a number of fast teams of the section. Following a brief “vacation” at the end of the basket ball season Coach Parker will begin training his base ball and track teams. The Wood- ward mentor does not expect to make much of a stir in the last-mentioned sport, however, as his material is limited. A pair of Washington’s strongest schoolboy fives were to show their wares today on out-of-town courts.

Some of the most ef- fective punches are landed when the boxers are battling away at close range. Infighting abil- ity means not only ability to attack at close range, but abllity to defend yourself at close range. Much care must be exercised, for the risks are many. The most dangerous of these risks is the possibility of being hit with either a right or a left uppercut. | The best method of getting into close range, says Spike Webb, coach ! of the Naval Academy _and .the| Olympic teams of 1920 and 1924, is by crouching well forward and then step- ping in after having ducked or slip- ped a lead or hook. Most boxers, especially those who do not like in- fighting, will attempt to retreat in srder ‘o ‘esume their best-liked fight- ing pose. In this case folicwing step by step, keeping all the while close up to him. It is well in infighting to keep the head well to the right and close to your opponent’s left shoulder. This protects the head against right-hand punche: The first blow you should learn in infighting is a right-hand hook to the body. Raise the left arm to guard the tace and body as you deliver the right. Immediately after landing the right shift the head and body to the right and deliver a left hook to the body. s your shift gets under way raise the right arm to protect the head and body. These two punches delivered with extreme rapidity, one after the other, causes the opponent to lower his hands, thus giving you an excel- lent opportunity to change your at- tack to his jaw. It your opponent is a better inflght- er than you, all of this would be diffi- cult and dangerous. It is then up to you to decide whether to fight your opponent at his own game or at- tempt to get back into long-range boxing. Next—A new basket ball tourna- ment.

HEAVY TITLE Jack, More Rugged Than EW YORK, February 12 (#).— A bigger, more rugged and flashier Jack Delaney than ever before crawled through the ropes of a prize ring will face Jimmy Maloney in the classic of the indoor fistic season at Madison Square Garden next Friday night. The light heavyweight champion, in training at Bridgeport, Conn., for one of the most important battles of his brilliant career, offers his own perfect physique as authority for the state- ment. The hint of fraility that once marked the appearance of the “rapier of the North” in matches with huskier opponents has been lost in a definite ruggedness, added to De- laney's graceful figure by months of outdoor life and intensive training. “I have gained several pounds in the past few months tramping through the woods and heavy snow when I might have been gathering in a small fortune through stage and motion picture work after my victory over Berlenbach,” Delaney said. “T passed up the rewards for just one purpose, to improve myself physically with the heavyweight title as my goaul. In severe training I will never go over 175 pounds, but that's enough.” Jack jumped into his training ring with Jack Warren, a negro sparring partner, and turned loose his un-. canny mit-marksmanship. “I'm going ASPIRANTS SHOW PUNCH IN PRACTICE Ever, Timing Blows Well, While Jimmy, Carrying Much Weight, Startles Onlookers With Hitting Prowess. 10 put one of my hardest uppercuts one inch from his chin in the next round,” he confided to an onlooker. Jack worked the negro into position. Whiz went the right uppercut. a terrific smash, just about one inch from Warren's chin. The negro alone failed to appreciate the sharpshooting display. Maloney Not Worried. At Long Branch, J., Maloney likewise startled the onlookers with an exhibition of punching prowess. Short left and right hooks battered four sparring partners as the Boston heavyweight chased the substitutes for Delaney about the ring. “What do I care about what Delaney can do with his right hand-- I know what can do with two hands,” he said. “I'm going to win." The conqueror of three foreign heavyweights—Dekuh, Persson and Diener—within the past few months weighed in at 206 pounds. but expects to shave down to an even 200 by fight time. After surprising the visitors with his speed and whaling power, Jimmy sang for his guests in the evening, and then walked a mile to & movie In Long Branch, after getting ‘“‘special permission” from Jimmy De Forrest, his trainer, to stay out until 9:15 p. 15 minute: A later than the usual WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER ASTMAN SCHOOL tossers start- ed the season off right by scor. ing a victory In their first en- counter yesterday, downing the Stdwell Friends School sextet, 41 to 22, on the Epiphany Church court. Good teamwork and rapid court covering on the part of the Eastman team kept its opponents on the de- fensive during the major part of the game. Julla Yates, Nancy Jones and Josephine Duckett, three members of the 1926 squad, led the Blue and White attack. Ida. Claggett and Setsuko Matsu- dalra displayed some heady passing in the Friends forward field. While Miss Claggett was the principal scorer for the I street combination, Miss Mathsu- daira was indirectly responsible for many of the goals through her accu- rate passing under the basket. Eastman jumped into a first-quarter lead which was not overcome by the Maroon and Gr: throughout the game. At the quarter the score stood 17 to 5 for Eastman. At half time they led, 27 to 12. In the third period Friends passers rallied to roll in three consecutive baskets, but the Eastman guards broke up the team play at this point and sent the ball back to Eastman's basket for an equal num- ber of counts. The Quakers bowed for the first time this season in yesterday's iln\.. Saturday they defeated the Rockville High School sextet, 39 to 27, on the I street court, and last week they scored over Fairmont Seminary by a wide mllr‘ln in their initial interscholastic tilt. Phillips Eats Up Short Chest Shot BASKET BALL. BY SOL METZGER, Phillips, Towa's star scoring for- ward, gets many of his breaks by taking short passes of 10 feet or a little more when at top speed. His teammates are masters at this pass when on the dead run, and they work it very much as it {s pletured above, the pass being made from the chest with both hands and the mark aimed at being the chest of the player who is to receive it. To make this pass, which is far more rapid than the old shoulder pass of professional basket ball, the ball is held with the thumbs behind it and with a pushing or ferward motion of the hands that impart a bit of reverse English to the spin, Towa has a strong, rangy team, all vet- erans. Only that sort of a squad can stand the driving offense this five uses with so much syccess. (Copyricht. 1027.) ROSES MUST WAKE UP.
