PAGE C—1 Majors’ Ax Falls Heavily on Salaries : Minors Turning From Night Base Ball TERRY'S 40% CUT SHONS AY TREND Giant Star, Like Wilson, Is| H Hard Hii——0wners Serious About Reductions. BY ALAN GOULD. EW YORK, January 12.—Basing judgment upon the first few slashes at the major league pay rolls for 1932, the shrill ery of the holdout will be heard this ‘Winter from coast to coast. The full extent of the “bad news,” arising from the sharp retrenchment program of club owners, has just begun to circulate. Hack Wilson, the 1930 home run king who was paid $33,000 last year by the Cubs, has been offered a cut in excess of 75 per cent. Bill Terry, who was the 1930 National League batting champion and runner- up in 1931, has been asked to accept & 40 per cent reduction. ‘The rejection of both offers means that the warfare is on between the magnates and their high-salaried per- formers. It is likely to be extended ‘with heavy casualties. Altogether it is figured the 16 major league clubs will slash $1,000,000 or more from their salary lists. The amounts per club may vary anywhere from $40,000 to $100,000, on the basis of information furnished to the Asso- clated Press. Reduction of the player limit from 25 to 23 will help in this process. Griffith Ready to Slash. “There will be a general cut among the higher-priced players,” Clark Grif- fith, president of the Washington Club, said today. “I do not wish to set any figure or name individuals, but the slash will be general among the high- est paid men. There might, however, be some raises among lower-priced play- ers if I feel their efforts last year Justified it.” Grifith volces the general attitude of the magnates. Only one Washing- ton player, Outfielder Dave Harris, s0 far has been reported as signing for 1932. He said he accepted the same salary as last year. The Brooklyn club probably will do its slashing on a wholesale basis. In- cluded in the process will be: Dazzy Vance, who got $23,000 for winning only 11 games last year; Babe Herman, who received $19,000 for hitting .313; Glenn Wright, out much of the year; Johnny Frederick, Babe Phelps and Lefty ODoul. Among the Giants, the cxpectations are that Frank Hogan, Freddie Lind- | strom and Hughie Critz, in addition to Terry, will b asked to take big cuLS.‘ Hogan was suspended late last season by Mapager Jorn raw. Critz's arm | failed him mnd hi# ehility to play regu- | larly again is doubtful. Yankees Are Quiet. ‘The Yankees have not yet aired any contract difficulties. Babe Ruth will put | up an argument before he accepis less | than $80,000 for this year, although the big fellow might jump at a chance to sign for two years at $70,000. With Burleigh Grimes traded and Hack Wilson's figures whittled down, the world cromplon Cardinals have only one really high-salaried star left. He is Capt. Frankie Prisch. reputed to get between $17,000 and $20,000. Frisch may not be asked to take a cut. Pepper Martin, Paul Derringer and Bill Halla- han all aopecr due for boosts on the basis of 1831 performances. Around Pittsburgh the reports are that the salary ax may fall on Panl Waner. who got soproximatelv $15.000 ' last year: Remy Kremer, paid around £12,000: and Ervin Brame, pitcher, who | drew $9,000. It would not be surprising to see the hand that writes the Chicago Cubs’ checks fall heavily upon some members of the pitching staff, including Pat Ma- lone and Charley Root, who failed to deliver up to expectations last year, as well as Catcher Gabby Hartnett, whose hitting fell away off. No Report From A's. It remains to be seen where the lightning will strike among the Ath- Jetics. Grove, Simmons. Cochrane and Eamshaw probably collected $100,000 last year. Connie Mack may still agree with a lot of base ball men that they are worth it The star slugger of the Philadelphia | Nationals, Chuck Klein, signed a three- | vear contract lact Soring. calling for a total of $40,000 so that he hasn't any reason for alarm at the sight of the mailman. Clubs like the Boston Red Sox and Braves, St. Louis Browns, few, if any, high-salaried men to deal with. Ted Lyons, great right-hander of the White Sox, whose arm went bad last year, likely will take a cut. Detroit, after a poor financial vear, undoubtedly | to go Maryland had a 25-to-20 margin. | will wield the ax.

THREE GAVES ON CARD Two Prelime, Bliss-Strayer Game at Silver Spring Friday. Two preliminaries have been ar- ranged in conneotion with the Blis: Strayer Washington Collegiate Confer- ence basket ball game Friday night at the Silver Spring armory. Bliss Reserves and St. Martin's Col- legians are to play at 6:30 o'clock and Strayer girls and Howitzer girls at 7:30 o'clock. The Bliss-Strayer game is slated for 8:30 o'clock. Conlrécts Signed By Kuhel, Bluege HREE Nationals now have ac- cepted terms for their services in the 1932 American League campaign, the latest to sign being | Joe Kuhel, youngster who made good at first base after illness forced the retirement of the vet- eran, Joe Judge, on May 1, last | vear. Kuhel's signed contract was | received at the Washington club headquarters this morning. Ossie Bluege, veteran third sacker, signed yesterday, while the contract of Dave Harris, utility outfielder, came in last Friday. In a letter accompanying his con- tract, Kuhel stated he already is doing light conditioning work and belleves the knee that troubled him | several times last season will be | sound when he reports at the Biloxi | training camp. President Clark Griffith declined to state the terms of the contracts, | but it is likely that Bluege, who | was not so successful last year as a | high-salaried player, probably took | a pay cut. Kuhel was belleved in line for a promotion. Harris an- nounced last week he signed for the salary received in 1931.

This proved sufficient margin for them to work on to the finish. Gallaudet got 11 of its points from the foul line, while C.

There will be at least 20 in the fleld enough to win—at least capable of winning—and this figures in both skill and competitive quali- ties under fire. A lot of it depends upon one’s touch and timing in ad- vance.

Burke is far from being any fluke champion, He belongs around the top. He is cool, steady, and he can play his share of golf wWith every club.

It may be their last chance to toss bouquets of expression &t the Hon. Charlie, for the boy from Baltimore is going to be both judge and jury at fu-| ture boxing bouts in Alexandria. Short is in a tough spot. Places in this country where the referee alone gives decisions are rare. It takes an exceptional ri arbiter to satisfy the clouting customers. Of all sports fans they are the most c;'".i:ul and the most biased in thelr views. Heretofore the xjudgu helped to share the burden of blame. With the fans’ ire scattered three ways, it dimmed the | wrath showered upon each individual. | Short now stands up there alone, sure to take a few shafts of denunciation no matter how just his decisions. | But Short has been taking bumps for a long while, and I know of no man I would rather see entrusted with the honor of alone making boz- ing decisions than Charlie. Name me the best half dozen boxing ‘urbners in the country without includ- ing Short and I'll tell you your guess is wrong. I've seen the best of them, and | in so doing my appreciation for Short's work has grown. Few spots in the coun- try the size of the flourishing little Vir- ginia town of Alexandria can boast of being able to put its boxing decisions in the hands of a referee of Short's type. Short was a fighter for 13 years, & referee for 11 years. He has judged over 1,000 college meets, thousands of amateur, service, professional and Olympic tryout bouts. In all he has refereed nearly 13,000 boxing bouts, & record second to none in the world. Digest those figures and you will understand just how fortunate the boxing officials of Alexandria, Va., are in getting this fellow. As & judge Olympic and service box- g bouts I have watched Short at close He is the coolest, keenest han- | ing ‘Bnd I am dealing in no pollyanna | melarkey, either. He is young and he L‘s honest. And when a referee can go through nearly 13,000 boxing bouts without having some one toss a few | Do you know that the boy from Baltimore handled 1,000 college dual | bozing meets and championship | clouting matches without having to | call a foul> And do you know that a fighter has to be really fouled be- | fore the blond from Baltimore will award him the duke? | Bring out your best referees and pit their record against Short's and then you will agree with me that here is an arbiter who should be handling championship boxing bouts and in de- mand all over the country. But there is a provincial streak in this boy from Baltimore, and he has been displaying his talents around his fireside, with only occasional trips to New York and Bos- ton to handle amateur bouts. { Few fans here know that Short had a long meritorius ring career as a lightweight. I met him in 1921, when he came out of the West, tired, after 13 years of battling some of the best lightweights of his time. He never reached title status. He was just a good, rugged lightweight who fought everybody they picked for him. He sald at that time: “I've just had a long talk with Charlie Short, the fighter, and he tells me I better quit while I am able! before some youngster comes along and knocks my block off.” Bhort then had fought since' 1908, having totaled 320 flghgu. He lost 21 decisions, was stopped once when both jaws were broken and won the re- mainder of the fights by knockouts al;l;i"!by decisions. ~There were few His fighting took place in the West, in barns, stables, ball parks and thea- | ters. He had been yp in tHe money and down in the small change. He would appear one night in a big arena and the next evening in a hen house. Short's jaws were broken during @ | Aght in Tulsa, Okla., in 1914. He | went through the fight without leav- JUDGE AND JURY. STUK 00T YOUR LEFT, SoLoeR), CHARLIE.

Eighteen months later his left jaw was again cracked, and his decline in the ring game started. But the misfortune did not prevent him continuing, although he knew, at the time, that his ring days were num- ber. He went to Australia and fought many bouts. Showed up in New Zea- land and carried on. And most of the battles were long ones, the kind preva- lent in that country. Short participated in 23 20-round battles and there 25-round tilts before he was 20 years of age. And he s2id to me back in "21: “Gee, I guess I was born just about 15 years too soon.” Short’s ring courage and ability of yesterday would make him a million today. Charlie’s first piece of refereeing came during the World War. Enlisting in Kansas he wes sent to & St. Louis camp, later being transferred to Fort Bliss, Tex. Sergeant, first-class, of the 2nd Engineers for a short while, Short’s boxing ability caused him to be assign- ed to aid in physical instruction at the camp. Later he was made boxing in- structor of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade. During this time he refereed soldier bouts and later, when commissioned in | the Field Artillerv, he gave up boxing to act as arbiter in camp ring affairs After the armistice, Short con- tinued his boring with less success than before the war. It was then he realized that the bugle was sounding on his ring career, Since 1921 Charlie has been contin- uously refereeing bouts, amateur, col- legiate and professional. He was a third man in the ring for the Maryland State Athletic Commission for 11 years. For 10 years he refereed for the Ama- teur Athletic Union and nine years for the Inter-Collegiate Boxing Association. Patch this experience together and show me one to beat it.

Nebraska Backs Coach Bible Signs Foot Ball Mentor for Five More Years as Disgruntled Grads Howl for His Head. EW YORK, January 12.—One coach they did not get was Dana X. Bible, gridiron instructor at the University of Nebraska. After the debacle at Pittsburgh there came a demand from some of the downtown strategists and a few blown-in-the-bottle alumni enthusi- asts that Bible be sent to the guil- lotine. The university answered by having Bible sign & contract for five more years. They like Bible at Lincoln. They respect his ability and admire his character. They believe that the Texan is teaching the right kind of foot ball and that under him the Cornhuskers wmv’wlm ‘thexr due and proper share of victories. Thl?i year Nebraska, with a team made up mainly of sophomores, won t of 10 games. Contests were burgh. No disgrace. Any good team in the country was liable to lose to Pitt and the Wildcats in event it had played them. In fact, that Northwestern setto was rather a strange aff: on both sides. Northwestern nfade all her 19 points in the first qarter and thereafter Nebraska outplayed the Evanston outfit, or held it even. As to Pitt. though, there is nothing that ;may be sald. The Huskers were completely outclassed, as a good team may be when a rival gets the jump and keeps going. ‘That 40-0 defeat was the worst beating a Nebraska eleven has taken in nearly 50 years of foot ball. But that is the way a modern game may work out in these days of manifold scor- ing possibilities.

EW YORK, January 12— Night base ball games in 1932 will be almost entire- ly a matter of local senti- | ment and the determination of | owners as to whether the games | are worth while, according to a ;wide investigation made through- | out the minor leagues. | The major leagues will not play night base ball. There are only |one or two club owners who have given the matter any thought. They have not taken it up seri- ously enough to make any recom- mendation on it. The Pacific Coast League, which is located in the section of the United States best adapted for night base ball, is not nearly so enthusiastic for it as it was in thefirst year of its trial, in 1930, when it was a novelty on the Coast. - Players Do Not Like Gime. Players assert they cannot do as well in night games as in day games. They | were backward at first about expressing | their opinion, but they are frank enough about it now. They complain about the shadows and believe that pitchers with great speed have a better opportunity (to be successful under the artificial light than they have in the daytime. “Cap” Neal of the Louisville club thinks night base ball should be treated more on a holiday basis than as a regu- lar bill of fare. He believes one game at night in Louisville is quite enough. | Norman A. Perry, the wideawake | owner of the Indianapolis club, believes |the fans there like night base ball and | he is willing to give them all they want. | “Of course, if T found it wasn't popu- lar,” he said, “I would go back to day | bace ball. It seems to me that it strikes | Indianapolis right.” While Mr. Perry has no intention of deserting Indianapolis, he has been re- ported several times to be desirous of entering major league base ball by purchase of either the Cincinnati club ior the New York Giants. There isn't a chance that the Giants will be sold while the owner of the team is in his present state of mind. Mr. Perry never will buy the Cincinnati club at the price put on it by the interests that now hold the stock. Newark Not Strong for It. ., The Internationsl League will make its night bise pall In & matter of local opinion .solely. .Ths Newark club will not bs strong for it, and it has proved a bloomer in Buffalo, It might be theught that the South- ern Association would find night base ball 2n appeal to the teams in the warmer States, but most of the mem- bers of the Southern look upon night base ball as only a novelty. They say it is impossible to move their players into the better leagues if they g:ny night base ball as major league clubs are be- ginning to look -askance upon records made in night games.
