ACK WILSON, the tacked on several fl; H new home- anks thi run king of 1930, will be at- s season. Certainly one of the wildest charges will be led by none other than George Her- man Ruth, the deposed Kkinj deeper and deeper into middle lge. g. Ruth realizes he is wading and if he can’t win back his crown in 1931, he will have little chance of winning it back in 1932. The Babe had the crown tied on last Fall, but the string broke. He had a big lead, and then went. into the heaviest slump he has ever known. He will be on the jump this season, but so will Hack. In fact, Hack is never off the jump. Base ball has no more earnest performers. And Hack is many years younger. There is also a young man named Chuck Klein who might just as well be watched. He has had one of the most remarkable ‘starts in base ball for a two-year product of the big tent, and he may step into the throne room at almost any moment. All in all, Hack Wilson has a good chance to lead the big march again, but he is another champion who faces a tough job. (Copyright, 1931, by North American Newspaper Alliance.) Bob-Haired Girls Prevail on Court HICAGO, January 8 (#).—The short hair versus long hair basket ball series started a year ago between the Taylor Trunk girls team of Chicago and the House of David five of Benton Harbor, Mich., has been decided in favor of the bob-haired girls.
