Oscar Eckhardt, who Jed the Coast League batters with a mark of 360, was acquired to add punch to the outfield. Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Cin- cinnati appear to have added little real strength.

EW YORK, January 9.— Hack Wilson, the Humpty- Dumpty of base ball, knows today the fury that comes with insult added to injury. It ‘was bad enough when the Cardinals ‘were reported as offering to trade him, along with George Watkins, to the Reds for Estell Crabtree. Hack could even pretend that it wasn't 80, since there was no official con- firmation of the offer. ‘But he can't pretend the Cardinals didn't send him & contract calling for $7,500 a ctr.

The deadlock created by the spurned contract almost surely will be broken by the disposal of Wil- son by the Cardinals to rome other National League Brooklyn. The fact that Max Carey stopped off at Hack's West Virginia home on his way to Florida the other day would seem to lend cre- dence to the report that the sawed- off colossus will open the season in a Brooklyn uniform, as Carcy scarcely would have gone out of his way to pay a social call on Wilson, the first quarter, which ended 1 to 1.

HE report has been handed about that Mickey Walker is practically broke. 1If this is true it will be one of the big factors in lkis favor. | Opulence and the best type of fight- ing spirit rarely travel together. There's nothing like hunger to put the call of the wild in a tiger, lion or prize fighter. Dempsey never reached the ferocity of Toledo later on in his career. al- though he came close to it in the Firpo carnival, where, as Jack remarked | later, “it was a case of kill or being killed ' And at Toledo he was worth about $46 in the way of actual cash. A des- perate Mickey Walker, looking for some protection for his future, might easily be a different problem. In criticizing the selection of Barry Wood at the all-America post of quar- terback, a deep-browed observer writes: “To show how crazy you are, if Wood had played against Notre Dame he wouldn't have lasted three minutes.” Just how does this statement stand up against the facts in the case? It s0 happens that Wood played against the Army team close to its peak. He also played 60 minutes, did most of the work and took a battering and a shellacking all afternoon. “And when he finished,” remarked Ralph Sasse, the Army coach, “it didn't ;ecra\ to me he was even breathing ard.” And this was the same Army team that handed Notre Dame its worst de- feat and gave Marchy Schwartz the heaviest pounding this star back had ever known. Yet, we are told, Wood couldn't have lasted three minutes against Notre Dame. It might be added that the letter came from the West Coast, not South Bend. It is understood that new telescopes have been invented which have much greater power. If 50, one should be turned on Bill Tilden to see just how much he has slipped from his prime. Any slipping the lanky one may have done isn't yet visible to the naked eye. He has lost a little of his old speed? Maybe. But has gained something else in control. He is still & champion who belongs. Down Where the South Begins. (With apologies to Arthur Chapman.)

U. S. SKATING TRIALS Olympic Schedule, Duplicated in Finals to Select Team, Slated Tomorrow. By the Associated Press. NEWSBURGH, N. Y, January 9.— Eighteen of the country’s finest speed skaters will seek placés on the 1932 Olymic team in the final trials to- morrow at Lake Chadwick, near here. ‘The program, exactly duplicating the Olympic schedule, calls for com- tition at 500 meters, 1,500 meters, ,000 meters and 10,000 meters. The Olympic Committee is expected | to pick the first two men in each eveni for the Olympic team. Lack of ice, however, threatened to cause serious trouble with the tryout program. Ice conditions were so bad yesterday that it was said only “very severe weather” today and tonight would fit the Lake Chadwick course for the trials. No other place near here was any better and it seemed proable that it would be necessary to delay the selection of the team. Varied Sports Basket Ball. Crescent-Hamflton A.
