t SPORTS.” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1929. Hornsby Has Displayed Ideal Base Ball Spirit in CUB BOSS ADMIRES STAR'S GAMENESS Fears No Trouble With Any Player “Who Will Break in 9 Leg to Win. BY GEORGE MORIARTY. Bi¢ League Umpire. LTHOUGH it is only Midwinter in the Mississippi Valley, the base ball fans of Chicago and its vicinity have unanimously sclected the top rung of the National League ladder as the landing place for the Cubs of 1929. . The followers of Joe McCarthy are enthusiastic over the five-player deal of $200,000 proportions which tied Rogers Hornsby to the Cubs’ apron strings. And why shouldn’t they exult a little? It is-a lycky club that can reach out and grab a star of the Horns- by type when he is most needed. “While Rogers is looking forward eagerly to the coming season, is it fair to put the uncertain problem of pen- nant possibilities entirely upon his will- ing shoulders? The Cubs of 1929, plus Hornsby, appear 20 per cent stronger, but that means nothing if a few vital members of the cast are destined to have an off season. Such a twist of the fates would place Hornsby in an embarrassing light. Legs Are Sound. For potential playing strength, the acquisition of Hornsby easily outbal- ances the playing skill of the departed Chicago players. Stepping on his thir- ty-second milestone, Hornsby is still an outstanding star. He doesn't slh’ni v bases, but that is a minor lac Eflr“\)\c:: days of dynamiting the ball. On the other hand, Rogers' failure to pilfer bases has preserved his legs and is an insurance against injury. An‘d chalk up this virtue: Hornsby is sel- dom missing from the line-up. i Rogers is a greater flght-mnq batter than Lajoie or Wagner, ‘who were the whoopees of their day with the willow. The new Cub keystoner outhit his predecessor, Maguire, by 100 points, and that is a tremendous ad- vantage in close games. Hornsby ‘it 384, and any bleacherite will tell you that figure pushes runs over the plate. Incidentally, it makes Hornsby a_fre- quent “frequenter of the paths” him- =elf, waiting to be knocked in. Apt to Improve Others. The Cubs should derive other bene- fits through Hornsby's presence. Short- stop Tommy Thevenow was regarded as a sensation of the Cardinals in 1926, when he had Hornsby for‘ a partner. Likewise, Shortstop Eng'ish may reach the peak with the great Hornsby on his leit next Sv.nmer. And don't forget to regard Hornsby as a batting instructor de luxe. There- fore, Hack Wilson may feel the pres- ence of his famous teammate, and slash the apple at a _handsomer figure than ever before. The same psychol- ogy may act on Cuyler and Stephen- sop and the mediocre Cub batters may d normal tendencies when the star clubbers are in mur- 00ds. d':ccfius mh’ has unlimited ‘confidence m‘m s.%r gecond eman.. The Qe it 1 a nutShell Jast Fall: n he was asked about the possibility of frictionin case he acquired Hornsby. “There's can’t possibly be any trou- ble with a player whc will break a leg to win a ball game, and that’s Horns- by's spirit,” remarked the Cubs’ man- ager. Has Great Spirit. In a chat I had with Hornsby dur- the world series last Fall his base personality came to the surface. “I know 1 had an off-season in the business,” he smiled, “but maraging :‘hfinghould I worry when I gave all I, And here is the Hornsby slogan: “Luck may move cbstacles, but energy and hust! push them away.” And what a hustler he is! It looks as if he will save many a gray hair for Joe Mc- Carthy. Barring injuries, the Cubs have a chance to get away from the 1929 bar- rier with a rush, or even a gallop. No other National League club could afford to put over a similar deal to acquire Hornsby. Chicago looks like Hornsby's stopping place, He had played with St. Louls, New York and Boston in the last three years, a unique record for one of the game’s greatest stars. Undoubtedly Hornsby now realizes that he must click mightily to please the fans, (Copyright, 1920.) . ALEXANDRIA HIGH FIVE TO OPPOSE D. C.

Wisconsin’s Game Is Fast Offensive BY SOL METZGER. Trust Dr. Walter E: Meanwell, Wisconsin’s mentor, to develop a fine basket ball five. Even though he has lost four of his first team from last year, the Badgers will un- questionably be in the running in this year's Western Conference race. Last year Andrews and Behr GUARD NQ4 TAKES BALL OFF BACKBOARD ~ HE HOOK OR BOUNCE eut ALWAYS DRIBBLES IF FREE were the smallest forwards in the league, yet Wisconsin finished in a tie for third place with Northwest- ern. No team was stronger on de- fense. Perhaps the reason for the suc- cess of the Badgers on the court is the game they play. Their offense is a fast one that starts from the backboard when one of its guards, No. 4 in the sketch, gets the ball. He'll dribble up court if the open- ing is there in order to feed it to one of the forwards, Nos. 1 or 3, who, with the center, 2, have broken at top speed for the other basket. If dribbling is impossible, because of close guarding, he’ll either hook or bounce pass to one of them. Let us suppose he can dribble. When No. 3 breaks clear a bounce pass will advance the ball to him. From this point on the Wisconsin attack is interesting to study. (Copyright, 1929.) 6. U. QUINT DEFEATED BY NEW YORK U. FIVE NEW HAVEN, Conn., January 4— Bowing to New York University, 24 to 32, Georgetown University's basket ball team was beaten last night in the fitle game of the annual Yale University tournament. The Hoyas staged a great rally in the second half after being routed in the opening session, but could not quite overhaul the Violets. New York U. appears to be the Blue and Gray's big stumbling block on the courts. Last season the Violets handed Georgetown its only defeat of the cam- pai while last night it became the first legiate opponent to conquer the Hoyas this season. Yale, which succumbed to George- town in th> opening round of the tour- nament Wednesday, defeated Holy Cross, victim of New York U. Wednes- day, in a 34-20 game last night. As a result G, U. and -Holy Cross are tied for secor.d place, each with one vic- tory and one defeat, and Holy 'Cross is last, with two defeats in as many starts. With Conroy and Christensen head- ing its attack N. Y. U. ran away with Georgetown in the first half last night, which ended with the Violets in the van, 23 to 8 Shaking up their line- up, however, to start the second half the Hoyas staged a stirring rally and contrived to cut the Gothamites’ mar- gin to 28-24. At this stage the Violets checked the Hoyas and brilliant shoot- ing by Capt. Conroy and Nemesce, gave the New Yorkers their margin of vic- ry. Capt. Mesmer, Shea and Dutton led Georgetown’s second-half rally. Mc- gl:x;:dy' ul‘iull'li:umu golf champion, a brilliant all-around o nhe game for New York U.

WIDE ON BUSINESS TRIP, BUT WILL RUN By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 4.—Edwin ‘Wide, the Swedish schoolmaster and track star, has arrived in the United States, but not, primarily, to run. An official of the Swedish school gymnasium department, Wide will spend the next seven months studying the public schools in various United States cities and, in addition, to observe under what conditions Swedish athletes will have to compete in the 1932 Olympics at Los Angeles. Although his visit is chiefly of a busi- ness character, Wide will do some com- petitive running here before he sails for Sweden July 26. He will not run before the middle of February, he says, and perhaps not then. He needs at least five weeks to get into condition, for he has not run since the Swedish cham- pionship meet August 22. ‘Wide will spend about 10 days in New York and then will travel to Washing- ton, Chicago, Los Angeles and many cities en route.

CHICAGO, January 4.—Basket ball as played in the Big Ten and the Big Six matches class tonight: when Misr souri and Indiana tangle at Blooming- ton. Missouri’s fast-shooting and tight- defense organization is a strong fa- vorite to win the Big Six cage crown, while the Hoosiers, co-champions of the Big Ten last year with Purdue, are rec- ognized contenders in the latter circuit. Butler College, nemesis of Big Ten teams, conquered Missouri, 38 to 25, at Indianapolis last night, but the defeat was no disgrace, as the Bulldogs have triumphed over Purdue and Pittsburgh this season. It was Missouri’s first set- back. Tonight's game rings down the pre- liminary season for all teams except Chicago, which tackles Butler tomor- row night, when four Big Ten games are listed in the inaugural of the cham- pionship chase. These four games bring together Wisconsin, at Minnesota; Ohio State, at Towa; Northwestern, at Mich- igan, and Illinois, at Purdue. HOWARD QUINT WINS. CHARLOTTE, N.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 4.— Billy_Southworth, new manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, announced that Earl (“Greasy”) Neale, foot ball and base ball coach at the University of Virginia, would be head coach of the National League team next season. Neale will leave for the Cards’ train- ing camp at Avon Park, Fla, about February 15 with the advance guard of players, Southworth said, staying at Charlottesville, Va., until that time. Neale, who formerly played for Cin- cinnati and Philadelphia, has asked to be relieved of his duties at the university so that he might join some major league team. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., January 4 (#).—Earle Neale, head foot ball coach of the University of Virginia, has re- quested relief from his contract with the institution, which has yet two years | to run, Dr. John H. Neff, chairman of the athletics committee of the insti- tution, has announced. Dr. Neff said that counsel would meet early next week to consider Neale's request. He has been offered a place as coach with the St. Louis National League base ball club. Neale entered professional base ball with the Cincinnati team in 1916 as| an outfielder and played in the big circuit for six years, playing with Philadelphia for a part of the 1922 season. He began his duties as coach of base ball at the University of Virginia in 1923 and returned in the Fall to coach foot ball after spending the Summer on the bench with Cincinnati. He played foot ball as an end at West Virginia Wesleyan, later coaching foot ball at Marietta College and at Wash- ington and Jefferson. Despite an erratic 1928 season Neale's coaching work at Virginia is considered in this State as successful.

T. C. Young, to have passed the crisis late last night in a serious illness which followed an operation in which his tonsils were removed. His tonsils became infected while he was at the Olympic contests in Europe last Summer, Dr. Young said. Less than two weeks after the first operation the .trouble manifested itself lower in his throat and 2 sec- ond operation was required. A third was performed New Year night and blood transfusions became necessary. N. C. Hayhurst, his coach, and Dick Ryan, a friend, gave their blood to aid his recovery. DIETZ NAMED COACH OF HASKELL INDIANS LAWRENCE, Kans., January 4 (#).— William H. (Lone Star) Dietz, former Carlisle star, has been appointed head foot ball coach at Haskell Institute, succeeding John W. Thomas, resigned.

It will be the only home game in which a District college five will com- pete.

Georgetown will meet New York Athletic Club in the big town in the only other game tomorrow night in- valving a District college quint. Capt. Louis Dyer, crack Gallaudet forward, who has been on the sidelines so far this season because of a leg in- jury suffered during the past foot ball campaign, will be at his regular post in tomorrow night's game. Dyer's pres- ence in the line-up will add much to the Gallaudet team, especially on attack. He is one of the most accurate shots in collegiate ranks hereabout. Tomorrow's visit_will be the third this season here for Baltimore University. Georgetown defeated the team from the Maryland metropolis, but the Baltimoreans took the measure of Catholic University. Coach H. Watson (Maud) Crum probably is just as well satisfied that High Point College cannot keep its en- gagement with George Washington. The Colonials have been unable to get in any practice so far since the holidays hecause repairs in their gym have not been complet=d.
