D-2 ' SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHI D. C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1930. SPORTS. Rows in Sports World Are Epidemic : Many New Faces in Campbell Sweepstakes SEVERING OF RELATIONS OCCURS RIGHT AND LEFT Army-Navy Split, Harvard-Princeton Rift, Iowa Ban Notable in College World—Boxing Feels Blow. Trumbull Suggests Settlement Commission. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. I T really seems that a commission should be appointed to study and report on the subject of severing of athletic relations. With- in the past few seasons these severances have occurred right and left and nothing really has been done about it. In the case of the famous severance between the Army and the Navy there has been a lot of talk, but most of it was from Con- gressmen who knew practically nothing about the matter beyond the fact that they no longer got seats to the game. I mildly ven- ture the opinion that the Army and the Navy will not play foot ball together short of 1932, if that soon. The same is true of Harvard and Princeton. It is not likely that these institutions will re- sume relations for at least two or three seasons. Any unpleasant feeling which may exist between Harvard and Princeton is neither between the undergraduates nor between those in charge of ath- letics. It is almost wholly confined to those graduates who still carry a knife. As far as the feeling goes between those most closely concerned, relations could be_resumed tomorrow. But Harvard and Princeton do not see eye to eye on matters of foot ball licy. Harvard still, in a perfectly mnk and friendly manner, insists that the only game which it can regard as & rmanent fixture is the one with Yale. believe that it might be perfectly pos- sible for Harvard and Princeton to get together on a two-year agreement, if this suited the Tigers, but it does not. Princeton prefers a three-cornered alli- ance, with Yale as the third party. This doesn't suit Harvard. At least, that is :" l:l" guess regarding how matters nd. Towa Apt to Get Back. Another noted severance is that be- tween Iowa and the Western Confer- ence. This probably will not endure very long. Iowa seems willing to do those things demanded of it and, having com- plied with requirements should be able to force reinstatement. When Iowa does get back in the fold, those other institu- tions had better watch their step. Iowa will not be in a frame of mind to over- look any little irregularities on the part of others. ‘The boxi game has been full of severances. e of the most recent is the severance of Paulino and his board of managers. This severance ma permanent, but not without a few law- suits. And unless Little Paul shows something against Von Porat next Fri- day evening, Billy Gibson may turn him Iowa Apt to Re bat:kt to the board without further argu- ment. ‘The most famous severance of rela- tions in present-day boxing are those between MacSchmeling and Bulow, his German manager, and the severance be- tween Joe Jacobs and Madison Square Garden, and Schmeling and the New York Boxing Commission. Schmeling's career has just been one severance after SHIRES HAS RECEIVED $8,000 FOR HIS BOUTS CHICAGO, January 9 (#)—Since becoming a professional fist fighter just a month ago today, Charles Arthur “The Great” Shires, has earned exactly $8,000 in four engagements, $2,900 more than he got for playing first base for the Chicago White Sox all last season. ‘The great man got the $8,000 in the short period of 30 days, compared to five months of base ball playing for $5,100; Shires' contract with the White Sox called for $8,500, but fines plastered on_him, ate up more than $3,000. Shires expects to increase his ring earnings to more than $10,000 by meet- ing Al Spohrer, catcher for the Braves, in Boston tomorrow night. MICHIGAN MOGULS: TRY SHIRES TODAY Gary, Shocked by Life Ban, Says He Was Talked Out of lllinois Hearing. another, An Intricate Job. The effort to repair these severences | has been an intricate job. It looks as | if the first step would be the selection of Phil Scott as Sharkey's opponent at | Miami. This is practically certain. If | Sharkey eliminates Scott, it will pave | the way for the repairing of = the Schmeling severances. If Scott should beat Sharkey, Schmeling would have tgumeet the Englishman to claim the e. With Scott eliminated, the New York Boxing Commission undoubtedly would sanction a match between Sharkey and Schmeling. That is one reason Sharkey is satisfied to take the Briton as ai opponent on a percentage basis. Madi- son Square Garden would not formally resume relations with Jacobs, but would | have no authority to say who should | zmm the German or handle him in the ring. Joe Jacobs would not care who signed the papers, just so he was left in ac- | tual charge of Schmeling and, even | more important, collected his share of the receipts. As the case now stands, therefore, Sharkey and Scott will box, at Miami on February 27—the Garden never has had any intention of dropping the Miami bout, and its contract with Flor- ida officials calls for heavyweights— and the winner of this bout will meet Schmeling at the Yankee Stadium some time late in the Summer. The winner of this later bout will be recognized as heavyweight, champion, unless, of course, Dempsey decides to step back into the picture, which is most un- likely. Dempsey has severed active re- lations with the gloves. (Copyright, 1930. by North American News- Paper Alliance.) join Western Conference at an Early Date BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, January 9.—The University of Iowa has every reason for satisfaction in the ‘wholesome attitude of athletic directors and coaches of all sections of the country toward the situation with respect to the Western Conference as manifested at the meetings of the National Collegiate Association and of coaches held recently in this city. This was not only because of the personal appeal of the popular Burt Ingwersen and Dr. E. H. Lauer, the new athletic director, but because the unanimous feeling was that the Hawkeye institu- tion had suffered sufficiently for its faults and has made satisfactory ad- Justments. Following the visit to Jowa City the day after tomorrow of a committee of the Big Ten to look into the cases of the group of athletes recently declared ineligible by the Iowa authorities, the writer predicts that within a compara- tively short time the Hawkeyes will be readmitted to the athletic brotherhood in full standing. Meantime authorities at Iowa have done extraordinary work in arranging ‘Winter' sport schedules with non- conference opponents, and the foot ball #chedyle for next Fall, having games with Penn State, Nebraska, Detroit, Marquette, Bradley and Oklahoma A. and M, is in a hopeful state. Any strong university teams which happen to have October 11 and October 18 open ‘would just at the moment not have to look further than Iowa to fill them. Eventually, no doubt, the national hockey authorities will stop experi- menting and professional hockey will then settle down to a permanent set of Tules, At least, every che interested in the game will join the writer in the hope this will happen. The basic idea of the new rules, Use Low Follow Through in Chip BY SOL METZGER. ‘There are many star golfers who can drive and pitch with Bobby Jones, but few are able to keep up with him in play on and around the greens. In the Walker Cup matches at Wheaten in 1928, Bobby would almost hole out time after time from off the green. He's deadly in chip- ping, a stroke that is a great one to | know when you want to keep the score down. ‘The clip, as stated yesterda: nothing more than a long putt with & lofted club. It's chip because it's played from off the green where & putted ball would not act right in running through the longer grass of the fairway. ‘The big idea’ in the chip as played by Bobby is a low follow through. Golf is a form game. Correct your pivot and you will add yardage to your shots. Sol Metzger has pre- pared a free illustrated leaflet on the pivot. Send for it in care of judgment upon which has been de- layed pending the final settlement of official minds, is . It does away with four-fifths of the whistling for face-offs, which spectators so openly de- test, and, besides, the new stipulations eliminate some of the grosser forms of checking and have taught hockey play- ers something they never knew before —how to cover their men. ‘The one point upon which those who are tinkering with the rules seem t be uncertain is whether to declare a play- er offside if he crosses the defense line of either end of the rink ahead of a teammate carrying the puck. The game has been tried both with and without this rule and the writer is in- clined to think without it. Amirm-mnceu contest here last week. ‘To those who are unfamiliar with the new rules it might be said that, chiefly, they divide the rink into three areas of approximately equal size by lines drawn from side to side. For- ward passes and kicking the puck are permitted in any one area—but not from one area to another. This has | eliminated 80 per cent of the offsides made under the former rules. Another rule which has been ef- fective in saving a few players from injury is that no body checking is per- mitted within 10 feet of the side- boards. This is & rule with which much discretion may be used, and in recent games referees have exercised it. (Copyright, 1930.) DODGERS WILL PLAY 26 SPRING CONTESTS By the Associated Press.

HICAGO, January 9.—His stand- ing as a puglilist in Illinois free of blemish, Charles Arthur (the Great) Shires today hoped to recover his boxing good health in Michigan. The Great man yesterday was de- clared innocent by the Illinois State Athletic Commission of any wrongdoing in connection with his bout with Dan- gerous Dan Daly in the White City arena December 9, as were Promoter James C. Mullen, Nessie Blumenthal (Shires’ manager) and Eddie Meade, who handled Daly in the bout. Today the Michigan Boxing Commission was sponses to questions concerning an al- leged attempt to fix his postponed bout with Battling Criss at Detroit. Daly, suspended for life by the Illinois State Athletic Commission yesterday for having made false afidavits concerning his age, real name and previous boxing cx&wnence before his bout with Shires, still had plenty to say. Gary Is Shocked. Still insisting he had folded up for Charles Arthur, Daly, who failed to appear at the meeting yesterday to speak in his own defense, said he had been talked out of coming to Chicago for the hearing. He said Eddie Ed- wards, an associate of Eddie Meade, went to Columbus, Ohio, Sunday, took Mr. and Mrs, Gary (Dangerous Dan’s real name) back to Cleveland with him and told him that it would not be necessary to appear in Chicago. He said he was shocked to learn that he alone had been punished by the Illinois commission. He charged, for the first time, that Meade had given him the name of Daly, and that both Meade and Mullen had felicitated him on his “acting” in the bout. He also insisted Shires was a party to the alleged fix. Shires was confident the Michigan Boxing Assoclation would clear him of charges that an attempt had been made to put his bout with Battling Criss in the bag, and planned to meet the latter in Detroit after he fights Al Spohrer, Boston Brave catcher, in Boston tomor= row night.

Note.—This is the seventh of series of stories written for the Associated Press by leaders in’ sport, based on 1930 prospects. BY MIKE H. SEXTON, President National Base Ball Assoziation. OCK ISLAND, I, January 9 (®). —Warm, balmy Spring weather and more conservative business methods by class B, C and D leagues are the only ingredients neces- sary to make 1930 a banner year for minor league base ball clubs. All leagues and clubs have strengthen- ed their positions during the Fall meet- ings by many sales, trades, purchases of players and by the formation of new alliances, making the outlook bright. Many indications point to greatly im- proved weather conditions for 1930. A return of the warm, balmy Spring ‘weather, such as prevailed prior to 1920, will do much to reawaken base ball in- terest and materially increase attend- ance. The late, cold and disagreeable Spring weather of recent years has done much to lessen our patronage. When the base ball fans cannot sit in comfort to watch their favorite clubs in the early Spring games, they soon beeome impatient and seek other lines of amusement and recreation. Thus many of them are lost for the entire season. In our class AA leagues, furnishing a grade of base ball almost equal to that of the major leagues, we are enjoying & very healthy business. Class A clubs, operating in cities of 150,000 to 400,000 population, also do very well. It is only in the smaller cities—class B, C and D leagues—that serious financial difficul- tles are encountered. Many of these troubles could be avoided by the exer- cise of more conservative business methods. ‘A greater effort on the part of all small leagues to provide well balanced clubs in each city rather than the wild, strenuous scrambles for pennants would do much to improve conditions and at- tendance. Just a little good judgment in the matter of economy will accom- plish wonders. are all that is necessary to make 1930 our greatest season. c PETE(;IIE TO COME BACK, The Fargo, N.

FOOT BALL IN RAIN MAY BALK PHELAN Will Find Conditions at Wash- ington Unfit for Notre Dame Style. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. AR Western foot ball observers be- lieve that climatic conditions will force Jimmy Phelan to change his style of play, somewhat when he prepares the University of of Wash- ington eleven for the 1930 campaign. Phelan, who used the Notre Dame system with his own adaptations so successfully at Purdue, will find the autumnal rains that beat over . the Pacific Northwest a distinct handicap to that style of foot ball. Wigh most of Washington's home games played in rain or on heavy fleld, the Huskies will likely be handicapped in passing, free handling of the ball and slowed up on all sharp angle plays. ‘Washington has a clay gridiron and it is said that one of Phelan’s first requests upon signing with the Huskies was for grass-covered gridiron—which the uni- versity officials promised to produce. ‘The former Purdue coach will find his material at Washington heavier ard slightly slower than at Purdue, but more plentiful. The players are more used to straight foot ball than to shifts and speed formations used so largely in other sections. For almost a decade the Huskies ran almost everything from a punt formation, but last year they changed to a box formation with dis- astrous results. So the school is ready for anything Phelan may introduce. (Copyright, 1930.) CONTEST IN HOCKEY By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 9.—Four con- tests are on tonight's National Hockey League program. ‘The game between the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Pirates has been trans- ferred from unprofitable Pittsburgh to frantic Boston. Boston already has won 13 straight games. Behind the Bruins in the American {roup standing the two teams which ave been battling for second place may find a third contender. Detroit's Cougars, which started the season slowly, can place themstlves just one point behind the third-place Chicago Black Hawks by taking tonight's game at_Detroit. The New York Rangers, now holders of second place in the group, blay at home against the present leaders of the international group, the Mon- treal Maroons. They must win to make their position safe or to keep out of a tie if Chicago turns the tables on_Detroit. ‘The fourth game is due to decide third place in the international di- vision, barring a tie.

BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. OS ANGELES, January 9.—The Rivieria Country Club course to- morrow will resound with the tramping feet of 129 chosen golfers in the fifth annual Los Angeles $10,000 open tournament. The trial that will pay the winner $3,500 consists of 72 holes over the rugged, stubborn, 7l-par layout, a Jjourney of 6,910 yards for each 18 holes. A round of 18 will mark each of the opening. two days, with the 50 sur- vivors and ties permitted to continue their quest in 36 holes on concluding play Sunday. Eighty-six players yesterday earned the right to compete in the tourney, with a list of 43 exempt, aware that the victor's spoils will be collected by the contender who can consistently shatter par. To turn in sub-par scores on the diffi- cult course with consistency will be something of a feat, in view of the fact that MacDonald ~Smith, defending champlon, from Long Island, N. Y., was one over perfect figures, despite the fact that lead Tommy Armour of De- troit by six strokes. Armour Blew Up. Smith turned even par on his first two rounds, managed to score & 70 on the third, only to finish with a 73. The runner-up, after shooting 68 and 67, saw the treacherous course finally break his winning stride. His strokes totaled 76 and 80 for the last two eighteens.

Sharkey rightly feels that if Scott, heavyweight champion of Great Brit- ain, must be eliminated before he can lay claim to the world title, the sooner he gets by Scott the road will be smoother later on. = Scott, a big fellow who would rather box his opponents, is not the best man Sharkey could fight at this time, and it will require a good deal of ballyhoo to put the match over with the fans. The memory of the tugging and holding match last February has not been for- gotten by the fans, and they will not be overly inclined to accept Scott, de- spite the fact the latter holds a title and the match comes under the heading of being international in character. Scott is not as bad as he is painted. He is a good boxer and knows what it is all about.

After Tuesday night's conference had settled the details, the first step in the preparations was completed yesterday when the managers of Phil Scott, the London fireman, and Jack Sharkey, the Boston sailor, affixed their signatures to a contract calling for the principals to divide 50 per cent of the net pi The last disputed point in the negotia- tions between the Garden officials and Jimmy Johnston, Scott’s American rep- resentative, was settled when they agreed that the British heavy should get only a 20 per cent cut if the gate falls below $200,000. Another doubtful detail was settled by word from Miami concerning the Florida boxing law. The articles set an indefinite length for the bout because of some uncertainty as to whether a 15- round fray would be permitted. It was later learned that there is nothing in the State law to limit the bout to 10 distance in Florida. A local ruling by limit, but its chairman, Louis MacReyn- olds, explained that it concerned only younger and smaller fighters.
