SPORTS. OFFERS MADE ART EXCEED $100000 Fighting Ball Player May Be Late Joining Chisox, if He Reports at All. Y BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, December 24.—The prodigy of the sports world is . Charles Arthur Shires, a base ball player by avocation and a prize fighter by predilection. ‘With no knowledge of the sour science and apparently little aptitude for other than a rough and tumble fight, Shires is in receipt of offers that would arouse the envy of many well known and clever boxers. He entered the ring in a spirit of ‘bravado and to recoup a flat purse. He vas thought to be through when beaten and winded by George Traiton, another novice recruited from the gridiron. But instead of his ring career coming to a ludicrous end it seems to be only in a robust infancy. ‘The truculent Texan has received more than 100 offers to show his manly shoulders in American prize rings and the purses offered total more than $100,000. The great man has an ambi- tion to salt down $250,000 in quick order, and, since he is only $245,000 short of his goal, will continue to box— or attempt to box—so long as the cash is forthcoming Will Go on Tour. ‘Within the week the White Sox rebel will start an eye-punching tour that will take him into some of the great centers of the Nation as well as into the tanks. In most instances his op- ponents will be other novices drawn from base ball, foot ball and basket ball. Shires' managers will not permit him to exchange punches with any professional boxer. Shires has a corps of managers and among the crowd is a shrewd ring man, who always believed Barnum was righ This genius_has secured as Shire trainer Joe Blackburn of Philadelphia, who has trained many clever boxers, including Sammy Mandell and Bud ‘Taylor. Blackburn—who is no relation to Lena, the great man's first sparring partner—will attempt to show Artie the difference between a left hook and left turn and how to keep on one’s fect although unconscious. The Shires holding company has booked Mr. America for seven shows during the next month and is busy add- ing other engagements. Mr. Shires plans to box several times a week and will even make nightly appearances if suit- able train schedules can be arranged. Will Fight in Gotham. Shires’ tour will start Thursday, when he shows in Buffalo, and then he will invade New York to appear in one of the preliminaries of the Thompson- |98 Fields show at Madison Square Garden, New Yorkers have paid good money, many times, to see fighters who couldn’t box, but this will be the first time they have put it on the line to view a gent "h'owl:mnufly admits he’s not nfich of & fighter. “What a man” then will head for St. Paul and Davenport, Iowa., to give the corn belt a treat before dropping into Philadelphia, Newark and Balti- more for exhibitions of his Greek pro- file. By that time Artie’s managers will have more bookings ready or else Shires will be wabbling on his heels and ready for the cleaners. Shires will average something like $3.000 a bout for his first seven exhi- bitions, and that's better pay than he could’ get massaging curves for the ‘White Stockings. So if offers continue to pour in and the suckers persist in ‘wanting a look at the Great One, Artie may be a month or two late in report- ing to Donie Bush—if he ever gets around to that duty. His managers claim Shires will net $75,000 or better for his Winter ring campaign, and that's money that only Babe Ruth understands. The Chicago White Sox are some- ‘what disgusted with Mr. Shires, but can do nothing about it. They hung a sus- Een.licn on Arthur last Summer when e m'fl)lrrln' with Lena Blackburne, and until that’s lifted have nothing to say about what Shires does or where he goes. COMPANY F SECOND IN BASKET LEAGUE - HYATTSVILLE, Md., December 24.— Company F, National Guard, basketers of Hyattsville today are in second place in the Prince Georges County Basket Ball League race, with five wins against one defeat. The Soldiers are just one- half game behind the league-leading Brentwood Hawks, who have won five contests in as many starts. Company F last night conquered the Dor-A quint in a 15-to-14 thriller on the armory floor here. The teams had been tied for second place, each with four victories against one loss. In an- other league game last night Hyatts- ville Southern Methodists defeated ® Mount Rainier A. C., 26 to 14, the vic- tory enabling the church team to gain a fifth-place tie with Dixie Pig A. C., at two wins and three defeats apiece. From the outset the Company P- Dor-A game was close. At the half the Soldiers were ahead, 12 to 8. Rufus Vincent, center, and J. B. Troy, for- ward, with 6 and 5 points, respectively, led the victors’ attack, while Stanley Lewis, guard, with 6 points, was most consistent for the lasers. Rolph Jarrell, forward, was the big shot of the Mcthodists offense in the game with Mount Rainier. He scored 16 points. A. Bellman, with 8, was high for Mount Rainier. At the intermis- flma the Churchmen had a 20-to-10 lead. After giving an entertainment that netted sufficient money to make the trip it now appears probable that the Hyattsville High School basket ball | team will have to postpone its proposed | Jaunt during the holidays to Pennsyl- | vania. Stanleigh Jenkins, coach of the Hyatts- ville team, has received a wire from Honesdale, Pa., High School officials that the team will be unable to enter- tain Hyattsville as originally planned because it cannot secure a floor. With- out this game Jenkins does not believe he can arrange a satisfactory itinerary. A cousin of Jenkins' coaches the team at Honesville, which is the Hyattsville coach's former home. The floor there which it was planned to use is undergo- ing repairs Meanwhile the Hyattsville quint is getting in some good licks in prepara- tion for its game Priday with Business in the National Guard Armory here. ROCKY MOUN:I'AlN TEAM TO ASSEMBLE THURSDAY DENVER, Colo., December 24 (#).— ‘The Rocky Mountain Conference all- star foot ball team, which will meet a picked eleven from the North Central Conference in a charity game New Year day, will assemble in Denver ‘Thursday for its first workout. Coach Ike Armstrong of the cham- pionship University of Utah eleven will direct the Rocky Mountain team. ‘The North Central squad, bullt around the University of North Dakota team. which won the 1929 North Central Con- ference title, will hold its first workout | at Denver December 27. C. A. (Jack) West, North Dakota coach, will be in charge of the North Central squad. . THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

WARNER'S TACTICS PANTHERS' THREAT Trojans Drilled to Cope With Formation “B” in New * Year Game. " BY PAUL B. ZIMMERMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer. OS ANGELES, December 24— Formation “B,” that famous brain child of Coach Glenn “Pop” Warner, looms again as a threat the University of South- ern California Trojans must deal with when they clash with the Panthers of Pittsburgh in the annual Tournament of Roses game at Pasadena New Year ‘yvfll Coach John “Jock” Sutherland employ the system of two wing half- backs in -his offense against the men of Troy? Coach Howard Jones seems to think so, for he is priming his de- fense in anticipation of the formation. Today he plans more detailed instruc- tion to his &I:yzr: in_the matter of frustrating plot of the Golden Panthers to make consistent yardage by their power house tactics. Yesterday the U. S. C. varsity spent more than zzheurs on the basic principles of this Christmas will be a holiday in the ‘Trojan camp—a sort of calm before the storm of intensive training which will mark the closing week of preparation to defend the Western honors in the annual East-West classic. Parkinson Is Ram. ‘With the powerful Pitt line before him in formation “B” Tom Parkinson, ‘he battering ram fullback of the Panth- ers, is e: to do much in the way of d:rogru.sxnl toward the Southern California goal, since he probably will play close to the line of scrimmage. ‘This leaves Eddie Baker, quarterback, free for passing, fakes, or what have you, and permits Octavius Uansa, from ‘Trojans’ forwards are doing over- time work in anticipation of such a Pittsburgh attack, especially the tackles, for much of the Panther ground gain- ing this year has been turned in as a result of smashes through these po- sitions. ‘The Southern California staff is ap- parently satisfled with its own offensive, for as yet nothing -more than short sn:::py signal drill has featured work- outs. DISTRICT CYCLE EEOWN. EARNED BY ED BIEBER District cycling laurels this year were won by Ed Bieber, a 17-year-old rider, who resides at 476 G street southwest, {and not by Bob Connor, as recently stated in The Star. Connor, former champion, was injured in a spill during an early season race and was unable to compete thereafter. Bicber, representing the Century Road Club Association, was winner in a meet held at the polo field on September 5, scoring over a dozen other cyclists in the event.

Will Attempt to Relay Broadcasts and Transmit Twice Abroad. Radio engineers in widely separated quarters of the globe are bending every effort to assure the success of the nota- ble Christmas day experiment in which the National Broadcasting Co. will at- tempt to relay in one day three foreign broadcasts from Holland, Germany and England and transmit twice abroad. “Only the forces of nature,” sald C. W. Horn, engineer in charge of foreign rebroadcasts, “can upset the carefully synchronized network of invisible radio waves which will link America with ‘tihrce European nations on Christmas ay.” “The planned attempt on such an unheard of scale may be compared with a flyer’s hop-off into the unknown. For weeks and days before the start mechanicians and ground experts must check and recheck the reliability of every detail of his plane. Then at the Jast moment this complex organism is flung to the winds of chance, hoping that no unforeseen cataclysm will ren- der all their preparations useless. But such is science. It knows that under favorable circumstances such fore- thought practically assures success. Myriad of Details Under Way. “And so a myriad details of technical equipment and working out of running schedules are now under way, not only at Riverhead, X.on? Island, the pick-up point whence the foreign programs will b2 piped to N. B. C. headquarters for the networks here. but also in Holland, Germany and England. “Every day and night radio engineers are bent over telltale charts and graphs which represent the fluctuating atmo- spheric conditions over the Atlantic Ocean, and so indicate .the probable success or failure of the forthcoming experiment. These are being compared with the reports of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey on this side and with the findings of the Chelten- ham Magnetic Observatory, in the hope that comparison of these unemotional figures will give the final hint as to just which wave lengths will be best for transatlantic communication on the day appointed, “Every circuit here and abroad is be- ing tested and retested for maximum cfficiency, so that radio listeners throughout the United States may hear the programs from abroad with the same clearness which marks their local network broadcasts such as the morn- ing setting-up exercises. “In small buildings surrounded by myriads of wires forming extensive ra- dio antennae, skilled men are manipu- |lating especially developed - apparatus designed to overcome difficulties, such | as fading, static and other natural ob- stacles which radio sclence must over- come. Dr. Goldsmith Plays Leading Role. - “Dr. Alfred N. Goldsmith, vice presi- dent and general engineer of the o Corporation of America, is responsible for many of the refinements in equip- ment which has helped to make possi- ble the exchange of programs between continents. He has played a leading role in the scientific drama behind Jaboratory doors, results of which have led to advancement and improvement of methods and design. “Thousands of miles of wire in coils, 1in loops, in meshes and straight lines must be absolutely flawless at the last moment. Only under such conditions is an experiment truly scientific, so that every contingency is provided for ex- cept the interference of forces beyond the control of man. “Schedules must be worked out with clocklike precision. At exactly 12 noon, Eastern sfandard time, the Na- tional Broadcasting’ Co. announcer in his customary studio will flip the switch from the point marked ‘studio’ to the point marked ‘nemo,” used for any out- side pickup such as hotel orchestras and banquets—but this time, what a difference! “When the lights beneath his fingers flash on and off, the inter-continental system must click soundlessly into oper- ation, and bring clearly to our cars the friendly words of greeting from Eind- hoven, Holland, scheduled to begin at precisely that seccnd. “‘At 12:45 noon, not one second before or after, another announcer in a difTer- ent studio will make the same casual gesture at his announcer’s control box, but this time he will link the American audience with radio studics in Berlin, where another holiday program de- signed especially for American listeners will be relayed by short wave from Koenigswusterhausen across the sea to Riverhead, and so to National Broad- casting Co. headquarters and thence out over a Nation-wide network. Third Program From England. “By 2 pm. a third announcer may even yawn slightly when it comes his turn to flip the switch to ‘nemo’ for the rebroadcast from England. He probably will not ‘grant a thought to the dozens of hollow-eyed engineers guarding the lines from National Broad- casting Co. control rooms out to the edge of the ocean, and again beyond the sea from the German coast to Berlin, hollow-eyed and gaunt with sleepless nights of preparation, and so too tired to yawn. This is their way of c;ntflbuflnfl to holiday good-will and cheer. “Equal care is being shown in pre- liminary work for thes American pro- grams to be sent to Europe on Christ- mas day and the day after, in exchange for their contributions to holiday pro- grams here,” Horn explained. ‘The first Christmas greeting by radio from America to Europe will be héard throughout England and Holland at 11 o'clock Christmas morping, if atmos- pheric conditions permit. Letting a coast-to-coast American audience listen- in on what is being sent abroad is the easlest part, but precise work Is heces- sary at Schenectady and Piitsburgh, where the voices and music of famous American radio stars must be trans- mitted on short waves and projected through space to the opposite ~coast of the Atlantic. 3 Again on the following day, at 11:45 a.m., American eaves-droppers will hear a broadcast designed especially for Ger- man listeners, with announcements in both English and German.
