SPORTS. OTHER STARS BASE CLAIMS ON BABE'S Bambino and Ruppert Hardly Likely to Fall Out Over Clouter’s Wages. BY GEORGE CHADWICK. EW YORK, December 30.— Babe Ruth sets the style in base ball salaries in the ma- jors. And now that the time ing to see what the mighty George Herman will draw from his employer, Col. Jake Ruppert, owner of the New York Yankees, when he is offered a new contract Winter. Ruth’s salary with the Yankees is ac- cepted for a standard gauge nowadays, it seems. If Ruth signs a contract hitching him to the Ruppert cart for several years, that will be the desire of other stars and aspirants all around the big leagues. If Ruth doesn’t succeed in signing up for more than a year and falls to obtain an additional inch of icing upon his already thickly layered salary, other players will believe that salaries will have reached the peak for the time being. Major league players thought that ‘when Ruppert and the mighty Bam came to an agreement last year on a salary that Ruth could live on as a country gentleman, with pigs and pop- corn for life, good times had begun for base ball. Case of Wilcy Moore. Ball players have been extremely well paid for the last three or four years. Some have been getting more than they ‘were worth; others less. Some are signed to salaries expected to yield 10 per cent on investment, but flop miser~ ably. Others sign for low salaries and are expected to do very little, but do marvels. ‘Take the case of Wilcy Moore of the Yankees. He joined the Yankees with' a valuable asset, a dry spitter, also called the sinker. In his first year with the Yankees he had as much to do with the winning of the pennant as did his Jordship of swat, Ruth. Moore saved game after game from the red ink column. Miller Huggins appreciated it and gave Wilcy a sub- stantial’ bonus. The next year Moore failed to get his sinker to work. Trouble usually follows on such a delivery. Had he duplicated his first year's record, the Yankees ‘wouldn't have fallen as they did. Klein Earned His Keeps. Chuck Klein, National League home Tun king, earned all that he received in 1929, and so did O'Doul, tional League batting leader. Phil- lies expected stardom from neither of these two men. That is a case where the edge, when he is up agains all the way from $150,000 to $250,000. Until Ruth’s.ascension to stardom and huge salaries, ball players were envious of hlm.ml-lllt mmwut;le of some managers then was that players were envious of the high-salaried men. But they are not envious of Ruth now. he does get a raise, they will too, they think. t is a question whether some of the publicity that was manuffictured to keep Ruth in the limelight was worth while. in ‘The intrusion of hat nt the cause of sly ridicule of Ruth and that isn’t good medicine. Difference Unlikely. ‘There is little possibility for any dif- ference between Ruth and Ruppert over the salary matter. The test against any contract he is called upon to sign, but it isn’t likely that he will quit or hold out. Paul Waner tried it, a Spring practice sea- son, and his T ran away from him. Ruth, after holding out, wouldn't the same. It is said Ruth’s 1929 contract called for $70,000. Some believe he will not get any more this year, and some figure s may suffer a cut. Players think a conference is held by owners prior to sending contracts to players in order to come to some mu- tual understanding on the year’s pre- vailing salaries. That doesn’t happen. Owners don’t want others to know what their men are getting. They are actu- ally. sheepish about it, and fear kidding in case a costly player turns out to be a lemon. e e HOCKEY SUB TO SKATE FOR CHICAGO THURSDAY | CHICAGO, December 30 (#).—Bobby Burns, a hard luck man himself, has been selected to substitute at left wing for Earl Miller of the Chicago Black- hawks hockey team who broke collar- in “the Blackhawk-Montreal Maroon game Thursday night. Burns was injured during one of the first games last season and was out for the year, but displayed good form against Toronto last night.

WEST'S ALL-STARS IN'FINAL PRAGTICE Eastern Gridders Idle, Hav- ing Reached Peak for New Year Battle. By the Associated Press. AN FRANCISCO, December 30.— Last minute practice was held | today by the Western All-Star foot ball team for its contest with the East Grid Eleven at Kezar Stadium on New Year day. The East players were idle, Coaches Andy Kerr and Dick Hanley at Palo Alto figured their stars were in the best possible condition after several day’s practice. Among the Western players who worked out were Richards of Nebraska, at left tackle; Brumbelow, Texas Christian, at right guard; Churchill of Oklahoma, at right end; Clark, Colorado College, left half; Sloan, Nebraska, right half and Pomeroy, Utah, fullback. Coach-Percy Locey, in charge of the Western Eleven, also tried Gilmore, Oregon State fullback, at quarter, and he showed up exceptionally well. Locey said he might combine the sensational Colorado and Gonzaga all- around stars, Clark and Hunting, as a thrust against the Eastern team. Hunting has been kicking well with his long, high boots. In the Eastern camp, Tommy Dowler, star Colgate halfback, had a badly wrenched knee, but coach Kerr said Dowler may play part of the me, although not as much as o ally planned. o Glassgow, Iowa star, has been worked Yablock, Colgate, also is trying for these positions.

COLLEGE TOSSERS INTHREE CLASHES Will Resume Local Season Friday—Hoyas Play in Yale Tourney. HREE college basket ball games are on tap for this week here. On Friday Gallaudet will enter- tain Milton College, at Kendall Green, and on Saturday Gallaudet will meet the K. of C. quint in the Casey hall, and George Washington will be host, to Delaware. Tonight Georgetown University will play Manhattan in New York, and Wed- nesday the Hoyas will engage in the Yale tournament. Georgetown's trackmen will make their debut Saturday by participating in the Brooklyn, N. Y. Knights of Co- lumbus games. Yale, Holy Cross, New York Univer- sity and Georgetown will play in the Yale tournament. If the Hoyas win Wednesday, they will remain over_ for the championship clash Thursday. Last year Georgetown defeated Yale in the opening round and lost to New York University in the final. If Georgetown meets Yale, it will face a team coached by the Hilltoppers’ old basket ball teacher, Elmer Ripley. Georgetown has reconsidered its in- tention to give up boxing, and on Feb- ruary 22 will send its team to Annapolis |BOSTON, MONTREAL ARE HOCKEY LEADERS By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 30.—While | the Boston Bruins continued last week | to take the interest from the American | division race in the National Hockey | League by mowing down all comers, the | Montreal Maroons stirred up a bit of excitement in the international section by taking first place away from Les Canadiens of Montreal. ‘The Maroons played two games and broke even to raise their total by two points.

If certain compromises crippled the Army team or was unfair to the Navy the final result would mean nothing to the camp followers of either institution. The situation is not nearly as simple as it might seem to many— especially to politiclans who are not bothering with this side of the matter. the Army the Army believes are fair and just. The Navy has certain foot ball which the Navy believes are the same. They don’t happen to jibe at present. They are different. As long as either believes the difference imposes a handi- cap there should be no Army-Navy game., When the two institutions can get together and work out the problem which is far from being simple, there is nothing to be done about it that will help the situation in any way. Y way of extending the field of foot ball argument, as if it was not too extensive already, a reader wants to know what State university had the strongest foot ball team this Fall. A few leaders would have to include Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Tennessee, Texas, Florida, Georgia, California, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Nebraska, etc. Tennessee had slightly the better rec- ord, but it would have taken an extra strong State university team to have stopped Illinois through November. A battle between Tennessee and Illinois would have been one of the best with such stars as McEver, Hackman and Dodd thrown against the powerful Orange and Blue defense. Pittsburgh undoubtedly won the city | university championship with no one | else close. | But the situation was complicated | enough without introducing_these out- side debating elements, calculated to throw more fuel on the flames.

If the Cubs had not smashed the cld high-water mark, three other clubs ‘would have done so, for the Phillies, the Pirates themselves and the Giants drove in more runs than the three- year-old record. The Cubs also received the most bases on balls and, to square accounts, struck out the most, the bases on balls totaling 589 and the strike-outs 567. The hard-hitting Phillies outslugged their fellows, amassing an average of +467, with total bases of 2,559. ‘Bhe Cubs were legitimate champions, » for they led the league at home and abroad. The Giants were second on the road, but sixth at home, doing only a little better than an even break at the Polo Grounds. The Cubs had a per cent of .675 at home and .613 abronf Rogers Hornsby headed the sluggers for the second year in a row, his per- centage of .681 surpassing by 48 points his winning average of 1928. Hack ‘Wilson, another Cub, made a new league record for runs batted in with 159, beating by seven Hornsby’s record of 1922, when he was driving in runs for the Cardinals. Wilson also was the most accomplished player in the league at missing third strikes. He struck out 83 times. Melvin Ott of the Giants led the league in drawing bases on balls, 113, and Jimmy Welsh of the Giants and Braves was hit the most times, 11. Of the regulars, Pie Traynor, Pirates, proved the most difficult batsman to fool entirely.

It is suspected that Uncle Joe also plans to cut himself a piece of the Gorgonzola before it touches port. The rumor is that Uncle Joe has chartered an aeroplane from Levine and that he will out to meet the Gorgonzola carrier when it is still miles off Ambrose Light.

It all depends upon the durability of the vis- iting gladiator. All the chisels of Broadway merely blunted on the tough hide of Senor Luis Angel Firpo. On the other hand, everything but car fare was chiseled from poor Tom Heeney, though they called him the Hard Rock. He was hard in the head, but not in the pocketbook. ‘The retirement of Signor Umberto Fugazy from the caulifiower indus- try leaves the field open for the rest of the boys.

To better appreciate basket ball attack the spectator must know the different defenses. Some are of the man-to-man variety in which each 1man to his immediate oppon- cnt throughout. Others are of the zone type, each man being respons- ible for a certain area near the basket. Then there is a combina- tion of the two. You get endless varieties of each. 1t is well to know, when we again take up plays, that certain ones that penetrate a zone defense are useless versus the man-to-man plan. The reverse is true. The University of Washington five learned this last season in its play-off games for the Pacific Coast title. Until California was encountered, Was Was never stopped.

This was demonstrated when he au- tomatically annexed Roberto Roberti, Victorio Campolo and Arturo de Cookoo de Kuh, His claims were not djsputed, because of the supposed secret treaty. But now that the signor is out of it the Leaning Tower of Gorgonzola seems to be open to all claimants, There is only one difficulty. The department of public works may insist that the winning claimant file a bond or post & cash security for the removal of the debris in the event that the Lean- ing Tower of Gorgonzola should do a nose dive in his first appearance here. In the meantime the boys are getting ?ldy to shout: “He's mine. I saw im first.” The Italian Rights. 'HERE are still some complications, however. It is understood that Signor Fugazy, before retiring volun- tarily from caulifiower industry, sold his Italian rights to prisefighters to the Six Hundred Millionaires of Madison Square Garden. Under the threat of Mulberry Bend he transferred his rights in Victorio Campolo to the Madison Square Garden for a cash con- sideration, estimated by some at 30 cents, It will take somebody better versed in diplomatic usage to say whether or not this agreement includes all Italian prizefighters, The New York State Box- ing Commission was not d to recognize the transfer of Campolo to the Six Hundred Millionaires, conse- quently the matter may have to go to the World Court for decision. ‘There is a possibjlity that Campolo may be permitted to hold a plebi~ scite to ascertain who is to govern him on the second trip. He was mfmly dissatisfied over the Fugazy rule when he was given $200 as his share of the gate receipts that ran well over $20,000. They say that Campolo now has a longing for self- government, but that idea in prin- ciple is frowned upon by the Boxing Commission, though Commissioner Muldoon did intimate that if Cam- polo did come back he might be per- mitted to collect some of his own money. ‘The idea mt‘:ul:y ;‘um mmg::e r‘: all the prominent mt . Their nnfl:n is, “Give a prizefighter a dime and he will want a dollar.” Pres- sure will be brought to bear to have the Boxing Commission repress any such bolshevist tendencies. They say that if the idea spreads, it will under- mine the entire fabric of the caulifiower industry. For Some Reason or Other.

GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor, IPLING didn't have Bronko Nag- urski in mind at the time, yet he might have revised one of his songs of the cobra “Nag" something llke this for the benefit of the Minnesota fullback: Eye to eye and head to head (Keep the measure, Nag). Up front or back, the enemy's dread; (At thy pleasure, Nag). ‘Turn for turn and twist for twist— (They can't spill thee, Nag). Here was the tackler who never missed! (Did the battle thrill thee, Nag?) When Bronko Nagurski scored the two touchdowns that helped Minnesota beat Wisconsin in the final game of the season for the Gophers, he finished a career as “the greatest all-around foot ball player I have ever seen.” The quo- tation is from his coach, Dr. Clarence ‘W. Spears, all-American guard at Dart- mouth himself in 1915. * Enthusiastically, the doctor added: “In my career as a player and a coach I ‘have played against and coached against the best teams of the East and Middle West and I tered Nagurski's equal. ©Of Ukrainian blood, the “Big Nag” is a “physical brute with an artistic tem- perament,” Spears explains. His de- velopment, or evolution, from end to tackle to pulverizing fullback is one of the dramatic features of a game chock- ful of the usual. When he cracked three ribs in the Iowa game last year and was forced to wear a brace, Na- kurski went back into the line, he said, to play some foot ball “standing straight up” inasmuch as he could not bend over to take the passes from center! WHITH!R or not it is consistent or however it contrasts with the poli- cles in such other sports as tennis, the United States Golf Association has taken a firm stand in the amateur trenches by refusing to sanction the saymenn of expenses for players on tate or sectional teams, such as in the Lesley Cup competition. “The proposed amendment might easlly tend toward commercializing the sport and encourage a group of play- ers whose sole activity might be that of playing on golf teams throughout the country with expenses paid,” says the rernn of the U. 8. G. A. executive com- mittee. ‘This unquestionably strikes a deter- mined blow on the side of those anxious to see amateurism less commercialized and against the “touring amateur”; more on the side of gentlemanly compe- titlon, without concern about expense accounts or guarantees. The U. 8. G. A. %erhlpfl has had an object lesson in the difficulties that have arisen following the let-down of barriers on expenses in other sports, where the high-class amateur tennis star is able to play East and West, North and South; where the amateur track and fleld ace can run, jump or burdle most of the Winter in club meets scattered between Boston, New York and Chicago. ———t HARVARD DRAWS THRONGS.

Johnston never was guilty of un- derclubbing. Other entries were. For example, on the short seventh, where the tee was above the green, many players chose their mashie-niblicks for the pitch. They had to play a full shot and force it. Such shots oftentimes go wrong. ‘When Johnston played this hole he JOHNSTOM AT SEVENTH HOLE PEBBLE BEACH PITCHED TO GREEM 1M VALLEY WITH .

BY R. D. THOMAS, LOT of handshakes and slaps on the back were in order for young Paul Harrison today. The bowling frat was abuzz with the Grand Palace Valetman's per- formance against the Connecticut All- Stars at Hartford Saturday night, in which he broke two intercity records. His set of 714 bettered by 6 pins the previous mark established by Barney Spinella of Brooklyn against Convention Hall, and his best game of 187 beat Spinella’s other record made here by 7 sticks. It may be taking a chance to say that Harrison’s 187 is a national record, but there is no doubt of its being the highest ever rolled by a Washington bowler in intercity play. Shoots ‘in Star Tourney. Harrison will be the outstanding fig- ures when the return engagement with the New Englanders is staged next Saturday at the Coliseum. His next chnmglomhlp appearance, however, will be when The Evening Star's singles tournament is resumed next Thursday night at Convention Hall. In the meantime bowlers in_ general will turn attention to other holiday: season events. Tonight the annual hus- band-and-wife tournament, sponsored by John S. Blick, will open at the Arcadia and will be finished tomorrow night, total pins for six games to de- termine the winners. Wesley and Margaret Miltner will be the defending champions. Entries will held open until 7:30 o'clock. Another attraction tonight will be the semi-finals of the King Pin elimination tournament. J. C. Shackleford, Harry Hilliard, Jack Gooding and Pete Mc- Curdy will shoot it out in the cham- pionship flight, and Clem Weldman, Maize, Moore and Hall in the consola- Attraction Is Split. ‘The Grand Palace Valet bowlers re- turned last night with a 4-pin margin in the team event, and trailing by 65 pins in the doubles and 39 in the sin- gles, Tato and Frisk having a total of 1,246 against 1,181 for Harrison and Max Rosenberg, and Jack White a set of 757 against 618 for Campbell. Play Saturday will be divided between the Coliseum and Lucky Strikd. The second block of singles will be rolled at the Lucky Strike at 2:15 o'clock, the doubles at the Coliseum at 6 o'clock, and the team match at the Coliseum immediately following. Arrangements have been made at both places to ac- :lobr;:emodlte as many spectators as pos- Despite the comfortable margins of the New Englanders in the dou‘l’)%eu and singles, supporters of the Washington bowlers are not discouraged.
