THE STAR, WASHINGTON ATURDAY E BRUARY 15, 1930, Yanks Would Put 2-Year Limit on Ruth : War Over Athletes at Minnesota WANT 70 BE SURE BABE CAN KEEP ON Ruppert Is Apt to Arrange Contract With Slugger. Carey Goes South. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. ‘HERE is talk of compromise between Babe Ruth and the Yankees. Just what would be a compromise between the offer of $75,000 and a two- year contract and the demand of *$85,000 and a three-year contract? Well, it just might be $80,000 end a two-year contract. It might be several other things But, whatever it may be, I doubt whether it will contain an agree- ment for more than two years. If the Babe does compromise, it probably will be after a talk with Col. Jacob Ruppert.

DUNKLEY, Associated Press Sports Writer. ETROIT. February 15.—Mickey Walker is one step near:r his third title today by virtue of a decisive victory over Leo Lom- ki in-a 10-round bout in Olympia Arena here last night. Walker, world middleweight cham- pion. who formerly wore the welter- weight crown. demonstrated that a dis- means little to him in his invasion of the hght-heavyweight field. b Lomski was little more than & punch- | ing bag for the toy bulldog throughout the fight, which robbed him of his rec- ord of never having been defcated twice by the same man. After holding Walker cne round, the third. Lomski saw his rival gradually pile up a lead that made the bout lop- sided in favor of Walker after it passed the half-way stage. He could not beat Walker to the punch and was a badly beaten and very distressed fighter when the final gong ended the hostilities. e right that dropped Walker, while his left did not carry the sting that Walker's did. As a result, he was subjected to a beating in most of the exchanges. _ Walker conceded 9% pounds to the licht-heavyweight chall>nger, scaling 163'> to 173", for Lomski. The match drew a record-breaking | crowd for Olympia, attracting in excess of 17,000, with rcceipts around $450,- 000. 'The big arena was jammed to standing-room capacity. ‘Walker fought a typical Walker fight. He took the best that Lomski had in the opening rounds and then set about his task of reducing the once feared Aberdeen assassin to just an ordinary target. Walker easily won 7 of the 10 rounds by a convincing margin. He began to move ahead in the fifth round and thereafter the result never was in doubt. |CARNERA WINS ANOTHER FIGHT IN SHORT ORDER MEMFHIS, Tenn., February 15 (#).— ig Jim Sigman, seif-styled <ailor from South America, is the fifth victim of | Primo Carnera’s campaign through‘, United States rings. | 3 The mammoth Italian knocked out | Sigman in 1 minut: and 35 seconds of | the first round of their eight-round | hout here last night. ‘ It was Carnera’s fifth successive vic- ory in this country.

Last Winter around Palm Beach and Miami Beach no one seemed | to think that Sharkey and Stribling were going to roll the world over | on its back with any outbreak of melodramatic thrills. Most of them didn’t figure the fight as any great entertainment, knowing both were too clever defensively to make any headway. But, at least, here was a great chance to throw a party. And all thousands of them wanted was half a chance to throw a pary, or almost no chance at all—just a hint would do. I recall one prominent party at Palm Beach stating publicly that the fight looked to be a terrible thing, fam as he could figure it, but he cred 50 tickets, at $25 each, for a party he wanted to give, beginning at Palm Beach and winding up at Miami Beach.

Loud cries of “Never again!" resound- ed through the waving palms.

BY R. D. THOMAS. HOSE who predicted Saturday night sweepstakes would be a passing fancy among howlers probably guessed wrong. Any- way, larger flelds than last week are ex- pected in all the regularly scheduled tournaments. At the King Pin No. 1, which appears to be the choice of the big timers, a field of about 60 is looking for Manager Bob Barnes. There were only 38 last Sat- | urday. It will be the third event at the King Pin, but the first that will include the full entry of the King Pin team it- self. Howard Campbell and his hearties have been busy for two weck ends with inter city matches, Monk Frazier, manager of the Arcadia, who got the woman's sweep- stakes started a week ago, looks for a substantial increase of entries. Boatty Dugan won the opener, Harry Armiger at the King Pin No, 2, believes his ’stakes list will grow, too. No matter what the event at the little King Pin a sizeable field is always assured. Armiger has a way of lining up his patrons for a bit of extra sport. The big noise of the night will b: made at Convention Hall where more than 130 Masons will finish their sweepstakes. The leaders are: W. Brudin, 642; J. Watts, 624; Malcolm Watson, 623; W. H. Dyer, 617; Sam Simon, 616; Arville Ebersole (it's hard to believe), 607; Bill Webb, 606, and Max Rosenberg, 605. A number of others are a pin or two better than 600 and the wind-up promises to be a scramble for first place. There will be three squads in the Masonic tournament at 6, 8 and 10 o'clock. However, all may roll at 6 o'clock if they desire, There are sufficient drives. The Agricultural sweepstakes will be concluded at the Coliseum. Ruppert, with 1,206 for his first 10 games, is in front, a stick ahead of Charley Lyons, with Harry Dixon, 1,171, third. Competition in the Montgomery County sweepstakes will open at John Henry Hiser's establishment at Bethes- da and the Prince Georges County sharpshooters will get together at Hiser's place in Hyattsville. Tonight's special in the way of team play will be at the Recreation, with Dave Cox's Rex team battling 'Bert Heil's Boulevardiers of Bethesda. Al- though the Marylanders won a 158-pin lead on their home drives in the open- ing set, Cox’s men do not despair of ultimate victory. They have rolled some powerful scores at the Recreation.

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, February 15.—In- ternal strife at the Univer- sity of Minnesota, in which the alumni are in arms against what they term the steam roller methods of Pres- ident Lotus Coffman, may result in H. O. (Fritz) Crisler passing up the opportunity to become head foot ball coach at the Gopher in- stitution and remaining at the University of Chicago, where he played and had his coaching ca- reer fathered by A. A. Stagg. University of Chicago athletic of- ficlals and faculty members are loath 0 have Crisler depart from the Midway. Since he was named for the Minnesots position there has been much sentiment | on the part of the Marcons to make it worth his while to remsin at Chicago, where he unquestionably can succeed Stagg when the grand old man retires a few years hence. Crisler has made no definite decision relative to the Minnesota offer. He might have been quick to accept, for it offered a fine increase in salary and the opportunity to win fame as a head coach, only for the sudden outbreak of internecine strife on the Minnesota campus. Alumni Is Kicking. ‘The Minnesota alumni have been dis- ‘sntlsfled with President Coffman's | methods for some time. The sentiment | came to a boiling point last wéek, when | the Gopher executive called a meeting |of a subcommittee to select a coach without inviting the alumni members the board. Minnesota athletics are governed by a senate committee, on which the graduates are represented by two members. the result of the meeting, at which Crisler was named, the alumni believe they have been de- prived of their traditional right to have a voice in athletic affairs. Some of the alumni also were dissat- isfied with Coffman’s appointment of a committee—composed of four men hav- ing no connection with the university- to investigate and recommend changes in_the Minnesota athletic policies. There have been no objections to the selection of Crisler upon personal grounds or lack of confidence in his abilities.
