NEW YORK, January 1.—The mem- bers of the National Hockey League have a full nlgm'xs work as their New Year day celebration. ~ Five games are on the schedule to- night and the possibilities of changes in the standing resulting from them ere almost limitless. The two New York teams, leading their groups, each with 21 points against 18 for the second-place holders, are comparatively safe. They will re- main at the top, win or lose, and a de- feat is more than a possibility for either. The Americans have the tough assignment of stopping Les Canadiens of Montreal in the Frenchmen's first visit of the year to Madison Square Garden. The Rangers go to Toron- to to tackle the fast-flying Maple Leafs on their own rink. Both teams can provide hot competition and the closeness of the international group race provides them with plenty of in- centive. The leafs are tied with the Montreal Maroons for second place in the group and Les Canadiens are only one point behind. ‘The Detroit Cougars, whose margin of six points over Boston and Pitts- burgh gives them a safe hold on sec- ond place in the American group, will try to cut down the Rangers’ lead with a second successive victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, tail-enders of the Jeague, whose sudden rise last week was stopped in Detroit Sunday. The Maroons and Pittsburgh, each with a desire to break ties for the places they hold in the standing, meet | in Pittsburgh for what looks in ad- vance like a heated struggle. The Boston Bruins, tied with Pittsburgh, play at home against Ottawa, holders of last place in the International group. COUNTY DUCKPIN MATCH HAS TWO NEW LEADERS HYATTSVILLE, Md., January 1.— Carroll (Toots) Garrison gained the Jead in Class B by rolling a 560 set and Miss Mary Eaton went to the front in the woman's class by rolling 284 last night in the Prince Georges County bowling championships in progress on the Arcade alleys here.

SHORE IS FINALIST IN TENNIS TOURNEY BALTIMORE, January 1—Frank Shore of Washington and Richard Mur- phy of Utica, N. Y., were .to meet to- day in the final for the national junior indoor title, Shore gained the title round yesterday when he won a 7—S5, timore boy, and Murphy vanquished Billy Jacobs, another local youth, who last year won the boys’ title, 6—3, 6—4.

Kenny, friend of Gov. Smith and New York contracter, who caused something of a sensation by purchasing a- 20 per cent interest in the New York Giants, does not in- tend to become a big power in base ball or even in the Glants’ organi- zation. “I bought those shares in the Giants Iast Summer in Boston,” Mr. Kenny said. “I did so because I had the money to invest and considered the Giants a good investment. “I have absolutely no intention of planning te oust anybody, nor will T attempt to meddle with the affairs Kendall H. Cram of Nashvi'le cap- tured the national boys’ indoor title | vesterday, defeating Walter Rothschild of New York in the final at straight sets, 6—3, 8—8. Richard Murphy and S. P. Hayes, jr., were to face Billy Jacob: and Richard Covington today in the junior doubles title match. They defeated Shore and Donald Frame of Harvard yesterday, 6—3, 6—4. INDIANA’S FIELD HOUSE IS LARGE AS GRIDIRON By the Associated Press. Profits from athletics will pay for Indiana University’s new field house. The great structure of iron, steel, limestone and brick is as long as regulation size foot ball field and con- siderably wider. It has been £o arranged that the basket ball floor may be removed to make room for indoor foot ball prae- tice, convocations, commercements, ten- nis and other events. It will seat 15,000 at a basket ball of the Giants. I consider John Me- Graw the best manager in base ball, and what he does in handling the team will always be good enough for me. I also consider the Gianis a well regulated organization that has been paying goed dividends. Were this not so 1 would not have invested my money.” LOTT CLEVER BASKETER AS WELL AS NET STAR By the Associated Press. George Lott, member of the United States Davis Cup team, is a star in other sports than tennis.

APPY New Year. What will 1929 bring us in the field of sports? It {nusb bring us a new heavy- welght champion: perhaps not a great one; perhaps not even a good one, but somebody to occupy Gene Tunney's vacant throne until an- other real king of clouters comes along. Tunney will never be back. He has put aside the boxing crown forever. There is some gossip of his playing in pictures. There is, in my opinion, just as much chance of Tunney going into the movies as there is of Maude Adams returning to the stage to play Carmen. But will Dempsey return? Will this year bring a 1929 edition of the Manassa mauler back to battle for his former title? Wil Dempsey, at Miami Beach, in the familiar atmosphere of a heavy-weight bout, be like the old fire horse which hears the gong and breaks jnto a lumbering gallop toward the billowing smoke? ~ Will he look at the contenders and, remembering what he used to be, decide that he can lick them all? It may be, I don't know.. I do not think that Jack will return, but the easiest person on earth to kid is yourself. One thing this year may bring in boxing is a swift advance among the youngsters. Such men as Schaff, Braddock, Schmelling, Griffiths and half a dozen others may take long steps forward. Ruth Likely to Keep Pace. How about base ball? Wil the slender columns -supporting the mas- sive upper structure of Mr, George Herman Ruth continue to bear the stress and strain to which they are subjected? And will the Babe continue his ¢louting of home runs? The answer probably is yes to both Ruth has learned a lot in mits himself to get into the shape of an_ostrich egg during the Winter. His appetite is still good, but he doesn’t devastate hot dog stands be- tween meals as frequently as he once did, and he takes some exercise with his food. Moreover, he goes into private train- ing at least three weeks before the Yan- kees open their Spring camp and the result is that he no longer has to try to reduce from the hippopotamus to the gazelle class in too limited a space of time. The Babe has come to realize the great truth that the easiest way to Jones Moves Body In Making Putt KEEDP HE BODY 5TILL AG THOUGH 1N oToME LOOK A1 THIS SPoT ON REAR OF BALI.- PuTT AHROI " BY SOL METZGER. Theories conflict in utting. Bobby Jones says that he m:ves hl’s body when playing this stroke. Bobby does. But few others do. Joyce Wethered says that the idea she has when putting is to keep her body as still as though it were stone, without any rigidity or tautness. 8he has another scheme that she youches for as being good. It is to iook at the exact spot on the rear of the ball where the club is going to strike it. A firm and comforiable stance is advocated by every golfer, one that is slightly open, too. You want a stance that will brace your weight and prevent your sway- ing. Miss Wethered says that to aid her in keeping still she looks at the spot where her putter's blade is to strike the ball and continues to look there even after her club cuts off her view of it. Bob MacDonald putts rrelfl.y much the same way. Later et’s take up the wee putt again. again, ?

So, unless matters break very badly indeed, I think you will find that the Babe will pick up where he left off—which, as you may remember, was with three home runs and a circus catch— he not only will move along this in his usual majestic manne several seasons to come. In amateur golf 1929 does not look any more likely than 1928 to produce | any man, woman or child to stop Mr.| Robert Tyre Jones of Atlanta. The child might have the best chance. | Young golfers are coming fast. As for | the open championship, thas always is a gamble.

At} the top of his game, the little French- man is the best of them all. Grid Rules to Stand. We cannot Dbelieve that 1929 will bring much of any change in the foot ball rules. Foot ball is a good game | now, as evidenced by the numbers who play it and the attendance it draws, and = well enough established and old sh to be ])Ia_\'e? for two consec- seasons under the same code. Of-course, the coaches want the rule concetning the fumble changed. They feel their work is judged by results—by scores—and they want to cut down_on all chances, cut out all accidents. But there is such a thing as making a game too safe for the coaches, too scientific, too mechanical. It is the unexpected, the sudden swinging of the scales, which brings the thrill. Base ball might be improved if no runner were permitted to take over one base on an error, but I doubt it. Golf certainly would be happier if a shot to the rough or pit never was played, but the ball ayways lifted with the loss of a stroke—but it wouldn't be worth playing. It is the sweeping skirts of chance which add the zest to any game.

LOUIS, January 1 (#).—Ban Johnson, retired president of the American League, is opposed to John Heydler’s plan for 10-man base ball teams. . “The 10-man team idea does not appeal to me at all,” he said. “It destroys the original thought in base ball of a team of nine men, and of each man being an athlete and a ball player who bats and runs and throws. would suggest that instead of a 10-man team a rule be provided limiting the manager in the number of substitutes he may use,” he said. Johnson expressed opposition to the “chain store” or “farm” system, whereby major league clubs own and operate minor league teams, declar- ing that the system “is detrimental to the best interest of the game.” GENARO WILL BATTLE RODRIGUEZ IN MEXICO | NEW YORK, January 1 (#).—Frankie Genaro, world champlon of the ban- tamweights in the eyes of the National Boxing Association, has signed to meet Blas Rodriguez of Mexico, in Mexico City the latter part of this month.

YANKS FACE TOUGH SLEDDIN, HESAYS Picks St. Louis and Detroit as Certain to Trouble Huggins’ Team. BY PAUL R. MICKELSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. CHICAGO, January 1.—The Ameri- can League pennant race for 1929 will not be a one-ring circus with Miller Huggins the ringmaster and the New York Yankees the only actors, E. S. Barnard predicts. omsident Weaker clubs have strengthened their forces immeasurably, Barnard said, and some, especially St. Louis and Detroit, are certain to give the rampant Yanks a hard tussle for the bunting. “There is no doubt of some of the weaker clubs having strengthened mae- terially in their efforts to give the Yan« kees more of a battle than they did in 1928,” Barnard said “Detroit will take the field with a new manager, Stanley Harris, who gave Washington two pennants and who is expected to give Detroit a winner. The acquisition of Pitcher Uhle from Cleve- land and other changes make the Tigers contenders for the pennant, "St. Louis, the sensation of the 1928 race, has added several players who are expected to make the Browns stronger. Washington brings back Walter John- son, the greatest pitcher-in the history of the American League, as manager and there is no doubt of his enjoying the confidence of his employers, players and the public. Washington also has added many star minor league players, while the trade with Boston, whereby r, a third sacker of great returns to the Nationals, is ex- pected to be beneficial. “Cleveland will take the field with a revamped infield, while two new out- fielders may be found in Indian toggery. The new owners of the Indians have | shown their willingness to bid for star minor league. players, and such- spirit should inspire the team. “Chicago has cxpended money very wisely in its preparations for the 1929 campaign, while the deals made by Bos- | ton are expected to bring about a de- | cided improvement. ~Philadelphia has | not made any radical changes, the rea- | son probably being that Connie Mack | believes the team that all but won the | | | 1928 pennant and won more games the last half of the season than did New York will be able to set the pace in '29. “We must not forget, however, that New York retains its phenomenal power, which, added to its skillful pitch- ing and fielding, as well as its efficient management and well known courage under fire, will continue to make a most dangerous factor in the coming cam- paign. Because it remains a potential threat is the reason the other seven clubs have not spared their efforts in eliminating the weak spots in their line-ups.” STRIBLING BATTLES LEAGUE IN KANSAS By the Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, January 1.—W. L. (Young) Stribling. Georgia heavy- weight, named by Tex Rickard as | outstanding contender for the title {cated by Gene Tunney, will enter ths ring here tonight, the last time before | he meets Jack Sharkey in Miami next month in one of the New York pro- | moter’s elimination_contests. Jack Leagie, Dellas, whom Stribling defeated in 1925 shortly after the Texan | began his ring career. will be his op- ponent. League, who is 6 feet tall and weighs 205 pounds, has not met many topnotchers, but is considered worthy to meet the Georgian. Stribling will weigh 184.
