HURT LW T0 G EXAMINATION HERE X-Ray Will Be Mate When Sam Arrives Tomorrow. Rest Has Not Helped. BY JOHN B. KELLER. 'HER Sam West, flashy young outfielder, will be of any service to the Na- tional’s in this year's base ball campaign will not be known until an examination is| made of his one-time remarkable throwing arm. Ordered to Wash- ington by President Clark Griffith, West will arrive tomorrow, and no time will be lost by Dr. Edward Larkin, Washington club phy- fman in looking over the ailing imb. The left arm that has been so val- uable to the Nationals will be X-rayed, and if the picture reveals that an op- eration on the limb is warranted Dr. Larkin is expected to proceed with the surgical work immediately. n to last Spring West never had ex- perienced any trouble with his arm. He was accounted one of the best throwers in base ball, and often had thrilled the fans with great heaves from the depths of the outfield. While the Nationals were in training at Chattanooga, how- ever, West's arm failed him and, though it came back for a time, it weakened | again during September, and he was forced to quit the lLne-up for the re- mainder of the season. I Rest Fails to Help. Several times last season X-rays were made of the ailing limb, but the injury ‘was not regarded serious enough for an operation. In fact, it was belleved a Winter’s rest would bring the arm around to its former fine condition. Instead, idleness appears to have failed to benefit the limb and now it is feared West may have to undergo .surgical treatment. ‘The loss 'of West this ‘would be & serious blow to the Nationgls, for dur- ing the past campaign the young Texan appeared on the verge of fulfilling the promise of becoming the great batter he gave while with Birmingham of the Southern Association, the club from 5!;1:h he was boughtr by Washington in With Birmingham West was not ac- counted a brilliant fielder, but was a notable hitter. He slammed the ball in the Dixie circuit for a fine aver: until beaned by a pitch from-the left-] ded Merle Settlemire.

His fly-chasing ability and his throw- ing power were so gut. however, that he was kept in the young man did well against that style of hurling. Later when it was deemed West's fine flelding was needed as much as nron‘ batting, the player was ordered remain in the - iment should prove of great benefit good against the southpaws or else ex- Pect & shift to the minors. This evidently spurred ‘the “young ‘Texan to greater effort for soon he was hitting left-hand pitching as well as he clubbed the right-handers and at the time his ailing arm forced him from the line-up he was among the 20 best batters of the league. He had an average of 328, by far his best as a ‘West, is little more than 26 years old and being of a strong, wiry build ordinarily would have many years of good base ball ahead of him. He is one of the fastest on his feet in the game and improving so much at bat as he was figured to be a stalwart in the Nationals’ 1931 eutfleld Should his ‘worthy replacement for West.

KEEN RACEIN A. L. Nationals Will Continue Spir- ited Fight, Circuit Presi- dent Thinks. Note: _This is of a series of stories written ummuy for the Asso- clated Press by sports leaders, reviewing 1930 and dluuuml 1031" Prospects. BY E. S. BAIZNARD, President, American League. HICAGO, January 8 (®.—It ‘ is with satisfaction that I review the American League season of 1930, not only because the champions of our league won the world series for the fourth straight year and the third straight in my adminis- tration, but also because there was more spirited competition in our circuit than there had been for. several seasons. During the first half of the cam- paign Washington and Cleveland each wrested the lead from the Athletics, while New York always was a threat. Of course, the Athletics maintained a fairly safe lesd the last two months of the season, but Washington was dan- gerous almost to the finish, and Con- nie Mack was compelled to call upon Pitchers Grove and Earnshaw, in and futd of turn, in order to preserve that ead. Sees Fight in Nationals. Although such a statement may seem to be'stereotyped, I actually believe nm the race in the American League in 1931 will be even closer. Cleveland's young team, which has been strength- goed. is sure to be more of a factor. n can be depended upon to puz up another great fight. New York, under the management of Joe McCarthy, who had a most suc- cessful five-year term as leader of the hicago Cubs, may be expected to be a eater contender than it was in 1930. I also look for Detroit to show marked improvement as a result of valuable ac- quisitions, and if Chicago adds some fiufim g -l; its capable pnchm‘ staff, going to prove erous, [ g oy amendments to the major-minor o the minor lzuuu and ‘o far toward lieving them distress they lnve enwnnwnd as Lha result of the financial depression and also the obso- lete rules under which they were oper- ating. In fact, such adoption affords me the most satisfaction, for I am positive the minor leagues will prove to be the great- est beneficiaries of such amendments. POINTERS ON GOLF BY SOL METZGER. ‘When Johnny Farrell swings his driver back for a tee shot his left foot is pulled to the right, its sole rising and the foot turning upward and to the right until only the in- side of the ball and big toe are in contact with the ground. When Glenna Collett drives the toe of her left foot is the only part of it that is in contact with the turf. Joyce Wethered has a third way of using the left foot. Her ankles are so pliable that the sole of her left shoe never leaves the ground at the top of the swing. In- stead the angle gives toward the right much as the left knee of other golfers give in that direction when they take the club back. ‘The main idea is to let the left foot take care of itself. The arm swing, pulling the left side around and toward the right on the back- swing, also pulls the left heel off the ground. That's bound to happen on the backswing. It's something that we do not have to think about. ‘This foot action differs, as the above examples prove, without it making any difference in results, as the three golfers with these different left-foot actions play games any of us would be tickled to pieces to match. ‘The commonest of all faults of the average golfer is slicing. Sol Metzger has analyzed these faults and suggests ways of curing habit in a fine illustrated leaflet.

BY WILBUR WOOD. NEW YORK, January 8—Len Harvey, English middleweight champion, is an unusual fellow in more ways than one. To begin with, he is an English gladiator, whose first bout outside the con- fines of the tight little isle will be that with Vince Dundee in Madison Square Garden tomorrow night, and yet he is a fighter who stands flat-footed and to sock, rather than to dance around and peck away with straight lefts. Also Harvey started smoking ciga- rettes at the age of 13, and still in- dulges to no small extent in the weed | 0 obnoxious in the eyes of Boxing Com- | missioner William Muldoon; he likes his beer and takes as much as he wants; he usually stows away a Welsh rare- bit just before turning in for the night: he bles at book: ing in England, though, he explains, only in a small way, as he makes only about $150 a day at it. Unscarred in 350 Fights. Physically he also is an unusual speci- men.” Though he started boxing when 12 years old and has engaged in 350 fights, he carries no scars due to fight- ing, and claims he has had only two black eyes in his entire career. He never wears a helmet or mouthpiece in train- ing, and ins a mouthpiece in an actual fight. Harvey has two perfect hands, with t.he knuckles in a straight line, some- that not one fighter in a thou- nnd can say. Stanley Ketchel and Luis Firpo were two who had such hands. VERY now and then we hear persons orating who are full of the idea that what the United States needs is to go in for sport on the English plan. The only trou- ble is that most of them haven't the faintest idea what they are talking about. If the United States went in for foot ball as the, English go in for rugger, each of our big colleges would schedule about 30 games, instead of 8. Oxford and Cambridge start playing to play it for the next six or seven months. They play games with amateur clubs and with other universities of the type of Nottingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, Trinity College of Dublin and King's College Il’ld the Medical School, which are part of University of London. Many of these games are merely pre- liminary to the big Oxford-Cambridge game, but I believe that these uni- versities continue to play outsiders after they have met each other. Under this system, the Harvard-Yale foot ball game might be followed by 10 or a dozen additional contests. ANY American games have devel- oped from English games, changes being made to suit conditions and llment until they have small re- lunghnce to their beginnings. Soccer in England is in somewhat the position of base ball here, By that I mean that the professional game has taken the play away from the college sport. English rowing races certainly do not resemble the crew races on the Thames at New London, or the Hudson at Poughkeepsie, being more like the re- gatta on the Housatonic at Derby, if the Housatonic were about one-third as wide as it is. I admit that bumping races might be a lot of fun, but I am afraid the idea over her: would be to start_the boats a mile apart and then let them bump bow to bow. What is rugger about October 1, and continue | |of a mile of the finish Len Harvey, English Champion, Is an Unusual Ring Character He has a forearm that measures 14% inches, or one-quartér of an inch more than his viceps. None of the heavy- weights now quartered at Orangeburg, where Len is training, and they include Max Baer, has a forearm exceeding 13 inches in circumference. This development of the forearm gives Harvey a tremendously powerful grip, and he claims to rank below only | one man in the world in that respect. Len explains that his forearms were deyeloped while he was, for several years, busy for twelve hours a day washing and polishing automobiles for $2:50 a week, doing & bit of fighting in his spare time. Has Many Long Bouts. On the other side Len took part in many long fights, and learned to con- serve his energles. His record showl that he has gone 20 rounds 23 times and has taken part in 47 15-round con- tests. Unless there is a mistake in the arith- metic involved, those 70 fights represent a total of 1,165 rounds. And in addi- tion to those 70, Harvey has engaged in 280 others of shorter duration. The Briton is not afraid to use his right hand: in fact, he sometimes leads with it, which is lufpoud to be an un- pardonable sin for a boxer. However, he likes his left hand best. Most English boxers have a jab-and- grab style. Harvey seldom jabs. He prefers to use his left inside, where he ties up the other fellow’s left with his own right and then whales away to the liver and the chin alternately with his pertside paw. Judging fighters on gymnasium form is a risky business, but at least it seems safe to say that those who go to see the English champion fight will not be bored by a lot of meaningless gestures. THE LISTENING POST BY WALTER ’HKUMBULL the fun of bemz bumped, if you can't bump back 1 once went to a regatta on the Hud- son with Tex Rickard. He claimd that | nobody except the judges could tell who won, which didn't seem to him to be 8lvi the spectators a break. I think his i would have been to flood the lrl 'k at Belmont and let the crews race perhaps four laps around. He would then have extended the grandstand and have stamped all seats within a quarter “ringside,” pricing them accordingly. There would b2 a boat race, and the crews would not have had to depend upon foot ball for financial backing. ICKARD certainly would have en- joyed the present heavyweight le. He probably would have mwhzd Sharkey and Stribling and encouraged the New York Commission in its idea of declaring the winner champion of the world. With Max Schmeling also a title holder, he would then have had two champions of the world to work with, and he always did pretty well with one. X Imagine how Tex could have bally- | Phoen hooed a fight between two heavyweight champions. He probably would have put that bout on in Chicago, where he could have run his ringside seats back to Wis- consin on the north and Indiana on the south. He. would have bullt up the rumor that President Hoover would sit on one side of the arena, President Von Hindenburg on the other, and that Mus- solini would be present to challenge the victor on behalf of Carnerna. ANY persons refer sadly to the fact that Bob Jones no more will play before 10,000 spectators. That cer- tainly is true. I wonder, in these golf pictures he is to make, just how many spectators will watch him play. Per- haps not over a few million. And my idea of watching a golfer play is to do it from a comfortable chair. From my angle, the main thing a chnm})lomhip golf ‘tournament lacks is a fairway- going taxicab.

A quartet of top-notch finish wres- tling bouts is carded for tonight at ‘Washington Auditorium in Promoter Joe Turner's weekly mat card, and while all four undoubtedly will be packed with thrills, grunts et, al., the feature scrap, between John Maxos and Billy Bartush, has fans agog. Last week, it may be remembered, Bartush gave Champion Jim Londos a tough battle before bowing to experi- ence. Maxos, a countryman of Lon- dos, has been trying for some time to meet Londos, but in vain. In a tri- |umph over Bartush, duplicating the ghxmpl win, Maxos sees a crack at the tle. A semi-wind-up bout, with Chief White Feather and Nick Nester clash- ing, should afford mat fandom a chance to see a hot scrap. Pat 'Shocker and George Hill are down for a match. Both boys have displayed willingness to mix. Paul Jones of Texas meets Pete Ledit- zie, a Belgian heavy and a newcomer here, in the first scrap. The first bout, Joe Turner announces, will begin promptly at 8:30 o'clock. This, Turner believes, will end the finish scraps at a reasonable hour. |BARNES GOES TO ATLANTA Former Griff and Douglass Cut Loose by White Sox.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, January 8—A shroud | of silence enveloped the great | heavyweight muddle today, while all concerned awaited the arrival of W. L. (Young) Stribling and his manager, “Pa" Stribling, the key men in the question of who will fight whom for what championship. ‘The Striblings are due this evening to get the conferences started all over. No matter who may fight or where next Summer's champlonship battle may take place, it seems certain that Stribling will be one of the men in the ring. With Schmeling barred in New York the Madison Square Garden man- agement began to move yesterday in the direction indicated by the State Athletic Commission—toward a -battle between Stribling and Jack Sharkey, the winner to be recognized as heavy- weight champion. At the same time, Nate Lewis, Chicago Stadium match- maker, went about his preparations for signing the Georgian to meet Schmeling in Chicago. Affair Still Muddled. Lewis, Sidney Strotz, president of the Chicago Stadium Corporation, and Joe Jacobs, Schmeling's manager, would up a long conference early yesterday morning and departed to make up for lost sleep without making any ,an- nouncement, but it was presumed that they had been attempting to find their way out of two tangles that may inter- fere with the proposed Chicago bout. One concerned the poll the National Boxing Association is now conducting shall be declared vacant, but it seems period of grace if he shows signs of ar- ranging for a title defense. The other involved the contract the Madison Square Garden Corporation now holds, calling for Schmeling to de- fend his title first in New York under the Garden direction. Jacobs holds that the commission’s action in de- voided the contract. Square Garden Corporation, had two plans _under consideration. He said battle with Stribling, but he also was in communication by telephone with George Getz, wealthy Chicago sports- man, concern! the possibility of | i Chicago to the exclusion of the stadium corporation.
