S PORTS. - Array of Swatsmen STAR HITTERS WILL FILL CUBS' LINE-UP Arrangement of Offensive Order Is Real Problem for Chicago Boss. BY PAUL R. MICKELSON, ciated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, January 12.—The old lady in the shoc, who had so many children she didn’t know what to do. has nothing on ‘Marse Joe” McCarthy, the rotund pilot of William Wrigley's pen- nant-chasing Cubs. McCarthy has so many powerful yight-hand _hitters, among them the greatest socker in the National League, Rogers Hornsby, that he doesn’t know how to arrange his batting order. t's got me stumped even though it does sound funny,” McCarthy moans. “Just look over that list of right-handed fence-busters—Hornsby, Kiki Cuyler, Hack Wilson, Riggs Stephenson, Woody English, Gabby Hartnett and the rest. No foolin’, it's got me guessing. How am T going to start them off 2" But Wrigley merely chuckles. He can see mothing but a pennant for his Cubs in 1929, barring accidents. Rogers Hornsby, he is confident, will provide the punch to push the Cubs right up to the top at the start and keep them up there at the finish. It cost Wrigley ap- proximately a half million dollars in cash and players to get the “Rajah” from Boston, but he thinks he is worth it. With Hartnett catching, Grimm at first, Hornsby at second, English at shortstop and Wilson, Cuyler and Stephenson in the outfield and one of the best pitching stafls in the Heydler circuit, the 1929 crop of Cub rookies will have to play some class of base ball to stick with McCarthy's squad. The only possible openings are on the pitching staff and at third base. Clyde Beck played the hot corner most of last season, but his batting was impotent and McCarthy is seeking somebody for that spot. Two promising rookies will be tried for the position, Clarence Blair of Little Rock and Danny Taylor of Memphis. Blair hit .294 and led the Southern Association in fielding last season. Taylor, who can play either third base or the outfield, b: .374 in 1928, and was one of the best base run- ners in the South. In addition to their staff of hurling veterans, Charlie Root, Sheriff Blake, Guy Bush, Art Nehf, Pat Malone and Carlson, several promising mound artists will try out with the Cubs during the training season. Among the most prom- ising: is Mike Cvengros, who earned his third try-out with the majors by pitch- Ing great ball for Wichita Falls in 1928, Berlyn Horne, who comes from Jersey City, a second division club, with 15 victories and 17 defeats, and Clyde Day, ‘who comes from Omaha of the Western League, where he won 17 games with another mediocre club. Reserves will be plentiful—the veteran Mike Gonzales, Tom Angley of Atlanta and Bob Grace of Little Rock for back- stop; Johnny Moore from Reading of the International League, Clif Heath- cote, Earl Webb and other veterans from last year for the outfield, and several finllsr rookies and veterans for the in- eld. * PALACE PREP GRIDDERS TO BE FETED TONIGHT Palace Prep foot ball players will be feted tonight at Southern Club, Sixth and M streets, starting at 8:30 o'clock, in recognition of their championship victory in 135-pound Capital City League ranks.

GRAND JURY MAY ACT IN SUNDAY L CASE BOSTON, Mass., January 12 (#).— Possibility of grand jury action in the Sunday base ball scandal in this city was seen in the announcement that Attorney General Joseph E. Warner and District Attorney Wil- liam J. Foley, with their assistants, would confer on the case. The attorney general's office has been investigating charges made at hearings of the Boston Finance Commission that a $30,000 list of contributprs to the Outdoor Recre- ation League, sponsors of the Sun- day sports bill, filed with the secre- tary of State, was false. UNBEATEN BIG TEN QUINTS T0 BATILE Michigan Invades lowa Gym. Purdue, Also Undefeated, Plays Northwestern. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 12.—Gunning for the Big Ten basket ball champion- ship. which has been sporadic since the start of the campaign a week ago, breaks forth on all fronts tonight. The battle between two of the three remaining undefeated teams, Iowa and Michigan at Iowa City, tops the five- game card, which will trim the list of unbeaten to two and possibly one. Purdue, the only other undefeated team which is seeking its second straight title, will attempt to repulse an invasion by Northwestern’s twice beaten team, Wisconsin will invade Chicago, Illinois will tackle Ohio State at Co- lumbus and Indiana will invade Minne- sota. Michigan'’s giant combination, which upset Northwestern and Wisconsin for their first defeats of the season, was a slight favorite over Jowa. The Wolver- ines have a puzeling offense and a strong defensive game, while Iowa, which has almost as large a team as Michigan, has probably one of the heav- jest scoring teams in the race. Iowa will have one advantage and that is on its numerous capable substitutes. “Stretch” Murphy, Wwho personally sank Chicago this week with 11 field goals and three free throws, was the marked man for Northwestern in the Purdue game. Coach “Dutch” Lon- borg has decided to use a team of 6-footers to stop Murphy. Purdue, which has won two straight conference clashes, is a strong favorite, but North- ‘western is considered dangerous. ‘The Chicago-Wisconsin contest prom- ises to be a great defensive battle with the edge going to Wisconsin, which is believed to be too rangy for the Ma- roons. Indiana, which was-upset by Illinois ‘Tuesday night, will attempt to stay in the race by whipping Minnesota, an off- and-on-again team of great potential strength. Next to the Michigan-Towa game, the liveliest battle of tonight’s program is anticipated between Ohio State and Illinois. Both teams have been defeated once, but flashed great power in winning a game each this week. CORNELL, DARTMOUTH FIVES MAKE DEBUT By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 12.—Two more teams make their season’s debut in the Eastern Intercollegiate Basket Ball League tonight—Cornell and Dart- mouth. Cornell will travel to Princeton to meet a somewhat tame Tiger, while Dartmouth's highly-touted court per- formers meet Pennsylvania, defending champion, at Philadelphia. With these games only Columbia will remain an unknown quantity. The Lions do not make their league start until Wednes- day, when they battle Princeton at New York. Princeton’s surprising defcat at Yale's hands last Wednesday has led most ob- servers to belleve that only Dartmouth can be depended upon to give Pennsyl- vg:xls a bitter fight for the champion- ship. Coach “Dolly” Stark, National League umpire, has veteran material at Han- over and the Indians should extend Penn's clever combination to the limit. Cornell and Princeton have had ex- tremely unsuccessful seasons so far and their game looks like a toss-up. Prince- ton’s record so far shows two_victories and seven defeats. Cornell has won Seattle, 3; Victoria, 2. THE SPO The Professional Side. “I can see,” writes L. M. F., “why it is necessary, or at least important, to have professional instructors in sport to teach correct form But why is it necessary to have professional competitors—ball play- ers, boxers, hockey players, golf players, etc.? I have never been able to discover their use in modern civilization, beyond their own desire to make a living that way.” ‘There is no more necessity for pro- fessional competition than there is for any other form of amusement, including the motion picture and the great ma- Jority of theatrical entertainments. If a large number of people were not entertained by or interested in profes- sional base ball. hockey, golf, etc., none of these professional competitions would survive. But as long as they provide entertainment or interest or amusemant to several millions they have as distin=t a place as any other form of amuse- ment. Anything that provides amusement or recreation or anything approaching fun for a large number of people is bound to be inherently wrong with cer- tain groups who are either totally selfish or in whom the joy of living is dryer than dust. Their angle is merely this: “1f it is fun for any one, it must be wrong.” As long as the professional competitor is honest and is giving the best he has, he has a distinct place in the modern scheme of things. If he isn't honest he is like any other thief discovered from time to time in practically all the other professions and trades. There is no law forcing any spectalor to pay money to see athlete at work or pi can ke or bre spot. If the price game at any is too high he can stay away and the price will come down. | challenger who can extend her at any} The averaze €pe too often is a glutton for punishment, but that is a fault that only the spectator can cure. The Captain and the Coach. Dear Sir: By Grantland Rice. I note that fraternities are belng blamed for the spread of the idea two and lost six. RTLIGHT of having coaches appoint foot ball captains rather than team members elect them. But is it not that coaches are only now learning that too often captains selected for playing ability or popularity do not always possess the qualities of leadership? Because a boy is a good player or fine fellow does not necessarily mean he is a leader. So when a coach is able to appoint his cap- tain he can pick a man who can lead and if he does not lead properly or ac- cording to orders he can be shelved for some one else. Fraternities have enough blame to carry without adding more and unjust criticism. PHIL GAM. Champions and Their Chances for 1929. NO. 5—HELEN WILLS. If there is one certainty in competi- tive sports it is this: Miss Helen Wwills of California will be the 1929 women's tennis champion—here and abroad. If there was one champion that com- pletely dominated and pulverized the ficld last year it was the same hard- | hitting young lady from California. If anything, Miss Wills added to her foot speed and her control while retaining all her former power and, as she is still { on the youthful side, there is no reason | why she shouldn't be even better this season than last. Like several other | champions now around, Miss Wills has ibeen lucky enough to combine experi~ ence and youth, Too often experience only comes after youthful elasticity, speed and stamina have begun to slip. She 1s still on the short side of her tennis prime ond yet she has ruled the game in the United States for many years. Miss Wills should break all ny professional | champlonship records before she is The spectator | through. There was no one even close | to her class last year and it is doubtful ! that 1929 will develop any contender or time. There are many champions, but there ere only a few great champions.

By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, January 12—Bert Bell, for many years backfleld coach of University of Pennsylvania foot ball teams, will not return so long as “present conditions” exist. Bell, who announced his resignation Thursday night, told newspaper men who were his guests at a dinner last night that he was througlr definitely as coach at Penn, and made it clear that he had resigned, not because of other business activities, but because he was not in accord with training methods at Pennsylvania. Bell, in charge of the backs, was op- posed to frequent scrimmage and heavy drilling after the season was well under way, while Lud Wray, line coach, was & believer in hard work and plenty of it to toughen the players. “I am sorry to say,” Bell wrote in his letter of resignation, “that one, some- times more, of our coaching staff have, without any deliberate study on their part, persistently opposed the adoption of any style or system of play or plays recommended by me, as a result of my years of experience as a coach and after deligent study and observation. Therefore I repeat that under existing conditions I have reluctantly come to gm conclusion to tender my resigna- Bell is credited with having introduced the hidden ball system of offense at Pennsylvania, In recent years Head Coach Lou ‘Young permitted Bell and Wray to have complete charge of their departments.

Bell said two hard scrimmages the week of the game game Penn abandoned scrimmage and later beat Chicago, Harvard, Columbia and Cornell. Prior to Bell's resignation, both he and Wray had received contract forms for the 1929 season. Wray has returned his duly signed.

The defeat virtually eliminated Central as a title contender. Eastern took the measure of Business, 30 to 22, in the other half of the double-header, to enable the Lincoln Parkers to stay in the flag chase. Both Tech and Eastern held the whip hand all the way, though their opponents offered stubborn opposition. Led by Paul Brown, husky guard, who scored four goals from scrimmage and one from the foul line, for a total of 9 points. His last 2-pointer in the final going clinching Tech’s victory. Central was unable to break through Tech's zone defense with appreciable consistency. Tech shifted its line-up, using Capt. Jake Goldblatt throughout at center and Bob MacCartee, former performer at the pivot post, at forward. Central had Captain Ken Fisher at a forward and Dick Stephan, a new- comer, at center. Business and Eastern put on a fast game. Presenting a revamped combi- ed from guard to a forward post, Ryan at center and McCullough and Wood, new players on the job, Eastern gained the lead in the early going and held it all the way, though the Stenogs rallied quite briskly toward the end of the game. Business was handicapped through the absence because of an in- jury of Nathan Newman, sharpshoot- ing forward. Jakle Lewis was the Stenog offensive star, coming through with seven points and playing a stal- wart, alert game generally. Bus. (22). G.FG.P. L.Singman, 1. 4 Lin.

The Old Line cubs rolled up 17 points against none for Western in the first g\:nrtet and at the half were ahead, 23 2. Capt.

C. professional, led the 130 entries in the $10,000 Los Angeles open golf tourna- ment here today as the contestants lined up for the second 18-hole round of the 72-hole championship drive. ~Armour walked in with a 68, 3 under par, in the opennig round yesterday. Behind Armour and with even par figures, three other leading players fin- ished in a dead heat for second place honors. Macdonald Smith, Great Neck, Long Island, N. Y., stylist and defending champion; Horton ith, 21-year-old star from Joplin, Mo., and George von Elm, blond amateur of the Tam o' Shanter Club, Detroit, each had a 71. The gaping bunkers of the slightly rolling Riviera Country Club course on which the tournament is being played turned back several champions, while a few unknowns registered compara- tively low scores. Bob Stupple, rangy Chicagoan, who is little known on the Western golfing front, turned in a 72 to deadlock with Al Watrous of Detroit and Henry Cuici of Bridgeport, Conn. Then Julius Ackerbloom of Little Rock, Ark., came home in 73 to tie with Frank ‘Walsh of Appleton, Wis. The hazards of the layout took & heavy toll among the favorites.

A girls' cheering section, the fisst in the history of Washington schools, has been organized at McKinley this season and made its debut yesterday afternoon at the boys’ game with Central High School. The girls, led by Lou Toffoli, Bernice Thomas, Esther Jolley, Ruth Bohanon and Virginia Mothershead, cheered their team not only by their voice power, but by their appearance, uniformed as they were, in the school cojors. Their official “cheering costume™ consists of gray sweaters or jerseys and maroon sashes, the latter worn diag- onally across one shoulder. According to Jeannette Cavanaugh, physical training director, the fair root- ers will play an important part on the side lines of all future games at Tech, provided that they keep up their own enthusiasm for this new activity. Class squads are being organized at Tech by the girls, although no teams will be picked until March, when the interclass series is scheduled. Regular work-outs are being held, with special attention paid to the development of teamwork and floor tactics. No goal practice is possible, of course, but the girls are throwing themselves into the game with as much enthusiasm as 2. though they were provided with the | ?efisnry equipment to stage real con- ests. Not only are baskets lacking, but al- most everything else in the way of gym- nastum equipment seems to be conspic- uous by its absence at the new school, which has been occupied by students since the opening of the Fall term. It is expected confidently by school of- ficials that the baskets at least will be in place by March and the girls will he able to carry out one feature of their annual sport program. 13 WINS OVER GLICK IN 10-R0UND BOUT Far Westerner Shows Great Speed in Outpointing Gotham Favorite. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, January 12—Jimmy McLarnin, the baby-faced boy who came out of the Far West a year ago to win the hearts of New York's fight fans by knocking out their favorite, Sid Terris, has come back to his “lucky ring” in Madison Square Garden to regain the prestige lost when he succumbed to the’ fists of Ray Miller. = In the first bout in the Garden since the death of Tex Rickard, McLarnin smashed his way to a 10-round victory gilerk another Gotham favorite, Joe S i Before the final bout, the Garden ' lights were dimmed and the crowd of 20,000 stood in silent tribute to the founder of the great sports arena. A trumpeter sounded taps from prompter’s empty black-draped box and Jack Dempsey, greeted by a 10-minute burst of cheering, stood in the ring while Joe Humphries, veteran an- nolunccr, delivered a eulogy to his “best’ al” Although he has outgrown the light-_ weight class, McLarnin has not lost the speed or the paralyzing punch that car- ried him to the top in that division,: Through seven rounds he outclassed the Brooklyn Tailor, rated as a leader | among the lightweights, to earn the unanimous decision of the judges and referee. Only in the first round, when Jimmy let h imset the pace, and the eighth and tenth, when he threw caution to the winds and slugged desperately, could Glick gain an advantage. In the second: and third rounds McLarnin’s two-hand- ed punching had Glick in trouble and it looked as if another knockout might be added to his list of Garden conquests. Toward the end Glick rallied desper-, ately, trading punches with the hard- hitting Celt in the middle of the ring and landing a few solid smashes that sapped Jimmy's strength for a while. McLarnin stood off the rally to win the ninth, but in the final frame Glick again slugged it out to win the round.’ Mclarnin was tired at the finish, but siill able to trade punches up to the bell .
