SPORTS. ' Baker Not to Give Up Phillies : DOF © ON RACES IN DUCKPIN LEAGUES HEAD OF QUAKERS ~ HAS EAITHIN CLUB Purchase of Thevenow Held Initial Stride Toward Rebuilding Team. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK; October 23.—Wil- liam F. Baker, owner of the Philadelphia Nationals, is so assured of a future for his club that he has turned down a chance to sell it and will stick it out until he is tired of base ball, or until he gets an offer that is too dazzling to refuse. One of the most prominent men in base ball stood ready to purchase the Philadelphia club, in company with other gentlemen. Baker declined to put a price on the stock that was in reason with the sum that the prospec- tive buyers felt the team to be worth, with its franchise, ground lease and so on. Thus the efforts to obtain control of the Phillies by men who are promi- nent in Philadelphia, and who know something of base ball, fell through. St. Louis at a reputed price of $50,000 and the exchange of Heinle Sand, Philadelphia shortstop, Baker has given the impression that he is going on next season with higher ambitions than he has had in the past. He thinks he has a chance to fight up into the first_division, even if the Phillies did finish last this year. And as he has said that Burt Shotton will continue. as manager of the team, it looks as if Baker is about to enter the season of 1929 with assurance to himself that he is on the up-grade instead of siag- nating at the botiom of the heap. It has been said that the owners of the St. Louis Nationals would like to| ver invest in the Philadelphia property.,‘k This statement may have arisen from the fact that Manager Shotton of ihe Phillies has been associated now and then with the St. Louis club. The St. Louis owners think much of his judg- ment. Baker is also beginning to uhink much of it. When the rumor was circulated re- cently that the Fisher interest of auto- mobile fame, might buy the franchise of the St. Louis Cardinals, it was said that this was part of a general swing around by which the former St. Louis owners would go into Philadelphia and attempt to rebuild the National League club there. But_if Baker is convincing himself that he can succeed in Philadelphia and if the St. Louis club is not to be sold by Sam Breadon, who says there is no intention on his part of getting out of base ball in St. Louis, then the National League will start the season of 1929 with the present owners in both of those cities and with a recon- structed Philadelphia club that may begin to eclimb out of the cellar. There have been persistent rumors that a change in ownership may be made in Boston, but at the present moment it seems if the probable trans- fer of Rogers Hornsby to the Chicago Cubs will have any stock deal by which the club might change hands. DUNDEE WINS FIGHT, SO WILL TAKE REST By the Assoclated Press. PHILADELPHIA, October 23.—Joe Dundee, welterweight champion, with another tuning-up fight under his belt, began a short vacatiaon from the ring affairs today before getting into shape for his title bout in New York, No- vember 16. He punched his way to & decision last night over Walcott Langford, Chi- rago negro, in 10 rounds. The title was not_involved. as both were over weight, Despite a boil on his arm, Dundee put plenty of action into th= fight and Tangford was freouently shaken to his heel with rights to the jaw and over the heart. The champion had Langford sized up efier the third round and won with roparent eass, thouzh he did not show | the gecurate vunching he displayed when he took the tit'e from Pete Latzo more than a year ago. Occasionally Janzford reachad him with rights to | the jaw, but they did no damage. BIG WOODEN STADIUM. Columbia University has one of the Jargest wood-n stadiums in the country.

Klein Balanced Playing Any Shot \ W AT STANCE~WEIGHT | VENLY ON BOTH FEET~ALIKE OM HEELS AND BALLS r-v AT 10P _r WEIGHT 16 ON HE RIGHT LEG KLEIN JONES BY SOL METZGER. Willie Klein, who won the first open golf championship of the State of New York, this past Summer, believes in keeping his balance when playing any shot. As proof, Willie had to play a shot from the porch of the Cedarcreek Club house, near Philadelphia, three years ago and executed the shot perfectly. To get direction one must keep himself balanced =all through a stroke, That means you should not sway. I know full well that big Ted Ray, Britain's former longest driver, swayed _perceptibly when hitting a wood shot, and that other stars do the same. But the average golfer, the player who cannot devote his entire time to perfecting his game, will get far better direction by avoiding a sway. Learn to pivot in the space your body occuples at stance. Willie Klein does so. His weight is evenly distributed alike on heels and balls of both feet at stance. As he pivots the bulk of his weight shifts to his right leg, but there is no swa{ or lurch backward of his body. It turns in the space it first occupied. It is far harder to time your swing when swaying than when pivoting in the area the body first occupies. Check up this point in your own game and you will avoid many, errors that soon become fixed habits you will be unable to correct. ‘Tomorrow—Abe Mitchell's drive.

BALTIMORE, October 23.—The body of Jack Dunn, owner and manager of the Baltimore base ball team, who fell dead from his horse from a heart at- tack yesterday morning in a field north of Towson, was taken to his home on York road last night to lie in state. Funeral services will be held at 10 am. at St. Mary's_ Catholic Church, Homeland avenue. Burial will be in the church yard. His death occurred a few minutes after he remounted after chasing one of his dogs which had scared up a bird at field trials near this city. While astride his horse watching another of his dogs in action, Dunn slumped in his saddle and fell to the ground. Doc- tors, after examination, said that he had died instantly. . Dunn had been under doctor's care for some time with.a heart ailment which, friends declared, dated from the death of his son, Jack Dunn, jr. five years ago. The death of the younger Dunn, who was his father's idol, cast a permanent damper over the jubilant spirits of the father. Mrs. Dunn Prostrated. Mrs. Dunn, when .notified of the/ death of her husband, was prostrated and is confined to her home. Others surviving the noted sportsman are a sister, Mrs P. J. Spain; a brother, James Dunn of Chicago, and a grand- son, Jack Dunn, 3d. Born in Meadeville, Pa., on_ October 6, 1874, Jack Dunn started his base ball career on the sandlots. He rapidly climbed the ladder in his chosen sport until he became sole owner of the Orioles. Under his leadership the Balti- more team won seven consecutive Inter- national League championships from 1919 to 1925, a record unequaled by any other club. Dunn first p'ayed base ball with the Binghamton club in the late nineties. He was known as a great pitcher. Later he went to the Philadelphia Nationals. His only other big interest, outside of his ball club, was his string of field dogs. Many of his hunters had ap- peared in trials in various parts of the country. A number of stars in the major league ball clubs were developed in the game under Dunn's guidan “Babe” Ruth found his start in organized base ball with Dunh's team. “Lefty” Grove, Joe Boley, Jack Bentley and George Earnsha v are among many others of the biy circuit who once played on the “Crioles under Dunn. AL ESPINOSA RESIGNS AS ILLINOIS CLUB PRO CHICAGO, October 23 (P).—Al Espinosa, runner-up in the recent Na- tional Professional Golfers Association championship, has resigned at the Il- linois Golf Club of Chicago because of friction between himself and the club’s management. ‘The former Californian, who holds numerous sectional titles and who ranks among the Nation's best golfers, refused to discuss the break other than to say “we both agreed to disagree.” His plans for the future are indefinite, he said, although he has received offers from two New York clubs. Mid-Atlantic Pres Postpone Gelf Tourney Until Spring HERE will be no Middle Atlantic Professional Golfers’ Association medal play championship this Fall. Postponement of the orig- inal date of the affair, sched- uled to be played at Congressional the latter part of this week, has forced the association to consider the probability of a conflict with other and larger tournaments, with the result that the tourney has been abandoned for this Fall and will not be played until next April. Leo Ciegel will thus hold the title he won last year until after the big Winter events in the South and West have been played. Specifically, the proposed new date for the champlonship—November 1 and 2—conflicts with the dates for playing the Oklahoma open title chase, for which an imposing purse has been put up and in which many professionals who also intended to play in the mid- Atlantic have entered. Among these are Johnny Farrell and Bob Cruick- shank of New York, the former the na- tional open champion and the latter a recent winner of the Maryland open. After consultation with officials of the Congressional Country Club and with several New York pros, the committee in charge of the affair decided to fore- go_holding the tourney this year. The decision robs Washington of the sole remaining big tourney listed locally for the waning season of 1928. But it will add interest to the Spring sea- son for the tourney of the midatlantic body, in all probability, will follow closely after the Richmond open, which is scheduled as an annual affair over the course of the Glenwood Club in_the Virginia State capital. Leo Dirgel will play an exhibition match next Sunday over the course of the Rolling Road Club of Catonsville, Md., and will then join the touring troupers of golfdom in their jaunt West to Oklahoma and thence to the Pacific Coast. Tommy Armour plans to be in on this party of professionals and will defend the Oregon State open cham- pionship which he won last year in a thrilling last-round fight with Dr. O. F. Willing, nationally famous Pacific Coast amateur. S. Per¢y Thompson, a member of Co- lumbia Club, won the principal trophy put up for the annual tournament of the Washington Rotary Club, played yesterday at Columbia, registering 91- 18-73 to finish one stroke in front of Charles T. Claggett, who had 98—24— 74. Clyde B. Asher won the gross prize with a card of 85, four strokes in front of L. W. Laudick and Fred B. Pyle, both of whom scored 89. John Brewer won the high gross prize with 116. Other net prizes were won as follows: O. R. Evans, 99—24—175; Fred B. Pyle, 89—13—76; John Dolph, 105—26—179; W. W. Griffith, 109—30—79; F. W.

Rock Creek Park’s“Oily Boids” have completed their October tourney with Crockett, one of the most consistent players of this unique organization, winner of the event. The “Oily Boids” arg an organization of Government employes and a few others who play golf long before most of Washington is awake. Their match play rules provide that all contestants in their tournaments must be on hand at the clubhouse at Rock Creek by 6:20 a.m. on Mondays, except in the event of torrential rain, tornadoes, floods and jury duty. They are hardy individuals, who fear not heavy dew or high winds, and let nothing short of a severe down- pour stop their golf.

Nearly four score golfers of the Southern Railway and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad are playing today in a golf tourney at Indian Spring. The golf event will be followed by a din- ner at the club tonight. S. G. Leoffler, concessionnaire of the public links, hopes to hold some sort of city municipal championship tourney at East Potomac Park before the sea- | son closes and Winter puts a stop to good golf weather. Plans for the | tourney have not yet b2en worked out. DUNN WAS BRAINY BASE BALL LEADER By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 23.—The death of Jack Dunn, president of the Baiti- more Orioles, has cost base ball “one of its most practical and effective mem- bers,” President John Conway Toole, president of the International League, said in a statement last night. “My acquaintance with Dunn,” .he said, “extended back to the years before he attained his big position as a base ball manager. He was always a skillful and brainy player and concedediy could get more out of a club than almost any other manager in the business. “Mr. Dunn should be classed with the really great managers of the game. He had a marvelous memory for the plays that developed in the game and a quick and accurate judgment as to what should be done by his club on the of- fense and defense. % “The International League owes a deep debt to Dunn. He was for many years onc of the strongest pillars of the organization. There was but one Jack Dunn. His successor will not be found. Base ball has lost one of its most practical and effective members. At this time we can only say that the league and base ball has sustained an g;epflrlble loss in the passing of Jack gt Toole said the league would be rep- resented at the funeral services and that suitable memorial resolutions would be adopted by the club. owners.

Heeney was awarded a decision over Risko, but the easy manner in which Gene Tunney handled the New Zealander raised the question even at this late date, whether Tex Rickard did the right thing in nominating Heeney for the titular spot despite the better all-around record of the Cleveland rub- ks al good 0 did not look so in his last few fights. Not that John was punched around, but the let-down in his charges and the easy manner his opponents held him in the clinches proved Danny Dunn'’s statement that his man needed a good rest. Danny had Risko fighting a bit too often for a big fellow and his work suffered. With a good rest under his belt, Risko will be ready to toe the mark and make trouble for the rest of the gang clamoring for the right to be named leader of the class. ‘Tom Heeney versus John Risko looks like a natural. Both are honest fighters trying all the time, and especially is this true when one considers the fact that the men are mad at each other. With Heeney on deck interest in the big fellows will pick up. But if the New Zealander is fortunate in whipping the rest of the field there will be no need of naming the successor to Gene Tunney. It will mean that the class as a whole is a joke and will have to strug: gle along until some youngster, unknown at present, breaks up the dull circle and puts new life in the class.
