SPORTS. DRIVES IN 126 RUNS INLAST CAMPAIGH Only Four American League Batters Excel Joe as Tally Producer. BY JOHN B. KELLER. E made a flock of errors, but he certainly helped the Na- tionals to a bunch of vic- tories. We're speaking of Joe Cronin, the Washington ball club’s shortstop. Many a time in the past season the fans in Grif- fith Stadium jeered him when the ball trickled by, but he surely knocked those runs across. For-the second season in suc- cession Cronin was the National to drive the most tallies over the counting block. He sent over in the 1931 campaign 126 scores, to| be the fifth in the American League in this respect, according to the official statistics. The only batters in the circuit to excel the Washington star in the busi- ness of sending rdns across the plate were Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth of the Yankees, Earl Averill of the In- | dians and Al Simmons of the world champion Athletics. Quite a company for the Washington player to be as- sociated with! Cronin Leads in Walks. Cronin also led the Nationals in two other respects, the business of getting the greatest number of bases on balls and also at striking out. He took | passes from the pitchers on 81 oc- casions and swung without success 52 times. Sam Rice as usual was a tough cus- tomer for the pitchers of the enemy. In 120 games the veteran struck out | but 11 times. And that was something | the past season. with the pitchers hav- | ing such excellent control of the raised- seam base ball ~However, Heinie Manush did not find the pitchers hav- ing this control, for he was pinked oftener than any other National. Heinie ‘was smacked by pitched balls no less than six times. That new American League ball, though, surely cut down the batting. Only 12 players batted 100 or more runs in the past season as compared with 15 in the 1930 campaign. Only eight of the names that appeared on | the 1930 honor roll are found in the} current list. Exceptional Achievements. According to the official statement prepared by American League head- quarters, the following were exceptional achievements: Gehrig, who led last season, estab- lished a new American League record of 184, thereby topping the former mark of 175 made by himself in 1927. Gehrig has driven in 100 or more runs six con- secutive years, and during the last five seasons he has been first three times and tied once. Ruth was second with 163 runs driven in, this being the tenth season he has sent 100 or more teammates over the plate. Ruth also received 128 bases on balls, the tenth year he has been the recipient of 100 or more free tickets to first. By striking out but 51 times the Babe set a new low mark for himself in his perennial battle with the pitchers. Chapman and Vosmik, two husky youngsters, accounted for 122 and 117 runs, respectively, while Earl Webb shunted 103 of the light-hitting Red Sox over the plate while establishing his new two-base hit record. Lynford Lary is the fourth newcomer. Lary ac- counted for 107 runs and worked the pitchers for 88 bases on balls. Ruth led in bases on balls with 128, | while Blue accepted 127. The only other players honored by the pitchers with more than 100 tickets were Gehrig with 117 and Max Bishop with 112. New York set a new world record by Teceiving 748 bases on balls, the pre- vious high being 681 by Cetroit in 1915. April 15 in a nine-inning game Henry Johnson and Roy Sherid of New York struck out 15 Boston players. . SIPPLEY IS VERSATILE Basket Ball Buccess Would Make Him Three-Letter Cavalier. UNIVERSITY, Va., December 15.— Frank Sippley will probably have the “V” in three major Virginia sports by the end of the Winter. Sippley is cap- | tain of the base ball team for 1932, and plays first base. He was regular quar- terback on the 1930 foot ball team but was kept from playing this Fall by a m] fracture received in Summer base This Winter Sippley is a candidate for the basket bell team. In the two practice games already played he has | Ki been showing such form that he seems to be well along the way to win his letter on the court. —l GOOFEY GAME GETS 'EM Papuans, Just Out of Stone Age, Now Making Golf Sticks. CANBERRA, December 15 (#).— Youthful tribesmen of the Papuan vil- lages who were living in the stone age |} a few years ago, are now fashioning golf clubs instead of spears and doing the job well. A year ago & band of enthusiasts, mostly the Australian white officials, created the first Papuan golf links, and the players have utilized the Kanaka youths as caddies. ‘The caddies have taken to golf like M. ducks to water and the club committee decided to give them a field day. The caddies arrived with some amazingly fine woods and their irons were examples of extraordinary in- genuity fashioned from pieces of water | K pipe, hoop iron and scrap metal.

AN FRANCISCO, December 15— With a 6 and 5 to victory over George Von Elm, .“business man” golfer of Los Angeles, Wiffy Cox, Brooklyn pro, today had pocketed $1,540 for winning the $7,500 national match play open champion- ship here. g Von Elm, as runner-up in a field of 198 starters, had a check for $1,027. The remainder of the prize money was distributed in varying amounts between the remaining 30 qualifiers. Cox, who won the last North and South open title, and was a member of the American Ryder Cup team, started on his victorious tour of the Lake Merced course yesterday with a 5-up lead. Play was postponed at the eighteenth hole Sunday on account of wet weather. At the twenty-seventh hole Von Elm had won back a hole to cut his oppo- nent’s lead to 4 up. Cox made it 5 up again on the twenty-ninth, and clinched the match on the thirty-first, with a par 5 to Von Elm's 6. Each finalist had difficulty with slow greens yesterday and their golf was of practically even caliber. Cards: Par out.... Cox_out (Sunday).

EW YORK, December 15.—Echoes of the Davis Cup matches in Paris are creating considerable | controversy within American tennis ranks. It is all a matter of | opinion as to whether 5o able a team | captain as Samuel Hardy is within | bounds in giving his estimate of the | players of his Nation; or is the player |above and to be held sacred from | criticism. Sidney B. Wood, jr., the 19-year-old | youth who was ranked No. ¢ last sea- |son, is the storm center of a wordy battle that well may go to the annual session of the U. 8. L. T. A. Hardy, in practically a semi-official report made to Tennis, the mouthpiece of the na- tional organization, states boldly that | Wood has no place in the Davis Cup team of the coming year. “There is no question but that the |team should be built around Vines,” is the way that Hardy. who also cap- tained the Davis Cup team of 1920 that brought back the trophy from the | Australians, phrases his flat statement. | This international expert outspokenly | favors Ellsworth Vines, Frances X. | Shields, George Martin Lott, jr., and | Keith Gledhill for the American 1932 |team of challengers. That is where wood came in to take | exception. He resents being shelved. On the Davis Cup record, in the in- | ternational tie between the British and Americans at Paris, both Bunny Aus- |tin and Fred J. Perry beat Wood. 8o able a critic as Al Laney said of these matches. “But responsibility for America’s defeat must, of course, be placed on the slender shoulders of Sidney Wood.

Lott and Van Ryn in the doubles were so devastating that we had already counted an eimost sure point against the French. “It was not because Wood was not a good enough player that he lost his two matches. In both of them, especially that with Perry, he played tennis good enough to win if he had been capable of a sustained effort. It may have been improper methods of training, physical condition not of the best, or an inability to adjust himself quickly to the slower surface of Auteuil after the lightning fast grass of Wimbledon. “I am not prepared to say why Wood lost, but T am confident that if he had been able to call on the strokes usually at his command with complete confi- dence they would not have let him down, and that he would surely have beaten Perry and would have made a very close thing of it against Austin.”| On the world ranking for the past | year Wood is placed at No. 6. Those | above him are, in the order named, Henri Cochet, Henry W. Austin, Ells- worth Vines, Frederick J. Perry and Francis X. Shields. In establishing this high place for the young American, one of his con- sistent admirers says: “One may hazard the suggestion that Wood's physical resources have been forced to keep pace with his ambitions. Like La- coste he had a delicate constitution as 8 boy; like Lacoste he played himself into strength. But temperamentally he is much more volatile than the Frenchman; his reactions bring the greater strain.” It appears to be such phrases that cause Wood to see “red.” rgl'l)(jolbl. a4 U, INI AL (Include all players in L.

ADISON, Wis., December 15.— With the resignation of George Little, director of athletics, providing the third casualty | of the post-season debate on foot ball in the Western Conference, attention today turned toward a legislative in- vestigation of the University of Wis- consin athletic department. The resignation of Little came with much surprise late yesterday. It fol- lowed that of coach Burt Ingwersen of Towa by only a few days and also the first upheaval in the conference—the supplanting of H. O. “Fritz” Crisler as foot ball coach at Minnesota.
