W ASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1935. uth’s Ambitions Put McCarthy on Spot : College Stars Take Track Spotlight SHOWDOWN IS DUE AT END OF SEASON Joe Must Win Pennant This | Year or Babe Will Get Pilot’s Job in ’36. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, February 25.—The trouble with trying to solve the celebrated case of Babe Ruth’s future in base ball is that it'’s more embarrassing than it's mysterious to the principal parties concerned. Whether the one-time home-run monarch signs with the Yankees for 1935 as a player or merely an orna- ment there scarcely can be any real showdown before the closing of the coming American League season. The Babe's fondest ambition is that he can stay in New York and even- tually manage the Yankees, Since he hardly can be given any assurances on that score, for the time being, he would jump at the chance to pilot any other big league club that would give him something substantial to work with. The possibility exists, of course, that developments will open up a managerial prospect for Ruth during the season. McCarthy on the Spot. EANWHILE the man “on the spot” will be Joseph Vincent McCarthy. the Buffalo Irish- man, whose fat contract as manager of the Yankees runs out this year. “Marse Joe” took charge of the club 1n 1931 after a bust-up with the Wrig- leys in Chicago. He piloted the Yankees to an Amer- ican League pennant in 1932 and had the satisfaction of beating the Cubs four straight in the world series. He was rewarded with a three-year re- newal of his contract at a salary re- ported to be $35,000 annually. Since then the club has run second to Wash- ington and Detroit. As every one knows, however, Col. Jacob Ruppert loves a winner, not & runner-up. The Yankee owner never has spared the check book in | helping his managers to produce one | or more. Nor has he ever hampered | his team leaders otherwise. | His support of the late Miller Hug- gins was unwavering at such times as “Hug” had run-ins with Ruth or was the target of critics. McCarthy has had similar backing and he will have it this year, Ruth or no Ruth. It is no secret that Joe and the Babe are not exactly pals. Not Joe's Fault Last Year. EITHER Ruppert o1 any one else | can blame McCarthy for the Yankees' failure to win the pennant last year. The Babe's de- | cline was one factor, but the club as a whole was riddled by injuries and handicapped by the sudden lapse in effectiveness of several pitching stars. The magnificent work of Gomez and Gehrig prevented the team from sliding below second place. However, | this didn't make Col. Ruppert any | happier. | If the Yankees fail to win the pen- | nant this year, McCarthy is bound to | be under heavy fire, and Ruth may replace him. If they finish on top, | the Babe can start shopping around| again. | There are two distinct viewpoints | on the matter, but it seems definite that Ruth damaged the prospects of achieving_his main ambition when he rejected Ruppert's suggestion a year Sports Program | In Local Realm TOMORROW.

It’s a matter of prestige with Ruth now that when he steps out of the majors, he also steps out of base ball.

In his bout in the semi-final of the tour- | nament Saturday at Charlottesville McAboy broke a hone in his hand | and was compelled to forfeit his | chance in the final to win a confer. ence title. As a matter of fact, Mc- | Aboy actually forfeited the title, be- | cause it was learned that the boxer | who was to oppose him in the final | had such a healthy respect for the | Marylander that, with a cut over his own eye, he and his coaches had de- | cided to forfeit. In other words, McAboy would have got the title on a forfeit had he been in shape to get in the ring. Nedomatski, lightweight, who has won all his fights, also hurt his hand and may not be ready. Both the Marylanders hurt themselves in the first rounds of their bouts, but went on through to win with their right hands almost useless. Nedo- matski, however, sustained his injury in the final. The first contest for one of the local colleges this week is a basket ball game tomorrow night in Balti- more for Maryland with Johns Hop- kins. The Old Liners played well enough against Washington and Lee to beat the Blue Jays, if that kind of performance is repeated, but this year consistency has not been one of their chief jewels. Maryland, it is thought, has a better team than Hopkins. Chief interest in the game comes from the long rivalry between the two univer- sities, extending back as it does more than 40 years in various branches of sports. Colonials Will Travel. EORGE WASHINGTON'S basket ball team takes a trip to Beaver Falls Wednesday night to play Geneva College. The Colonials are good, but will have to remember that they are going out to a section where basket ball is second nature to almost everybody. Georgetown has only one basket ball game this week, that being with Mount St. Mary’s in the Tech High gymnasium on Friday. American University has two games, one at St. John's Thursday at Annapolis and the other with Virginia Medical College at home Saturday. ‘There is a keen desire on the part of & good many people in Maryland and in the District of Columbia to bring one of the Southern Conference boxing tournaments to the University of Maryland. It is held that there is no other building in the South so ideally adapted to the holding of a boxing tournament as the Coliseum at College Park. The building could take care of 6,000 persons, and in all probability would be filled for the finals. ‘There would be two factors against such a move, however. First, the tournament has become something of a fixture at Charlottesville and has built up a big following there, and second, the conference treasury is en- riched every year by many thousands of dollars from this tournament and the conference itself would have to be pretty well convinced that the event would be a financial success if moved elsewhere.

ICHMOND, Va., February 25. —Southern Conference basket ball teams, with North Caro- lina and Duke sharing the favorite’s position, were headed toward the conference tourney at Raleigh next Thursday in an atmos- phere of uncertainty. Only one more game is scheduled before the tournament, this bringing together Virginia Tech and V. M. I at Blacksburg tomorrow night. An- other game scheduled between Vir- ginia and Washington and Lee for the same night was cancelled. The one remaining game can change only the standings of tail- enders in the conference race which, so far, gives North Carolina the favored spot. The Tarheels have won 12 games and lost 1. Duke, in second place, has a tally of 10 games won and 4 lost. Clemson has won 3 and lost 4, Maryland has won 4 and lost 3, North Carolina State hgs won 6 and lost 5, Virginia has won 6 and lost 5, South Carolina has won 5 and lost 7, Washington and Lee has won 4 and lost 7, V. M. I. has won 2 and lost 8 and Virginia Tech trails with 11 games lost and none won. See Two-Team Tourney. OST followers of the game ex- pect that the will prove a battle between North Carolina and Duke although they point out that North Carolina State and South Carolina are by no means out of the running. The re- vised Virginia quint may also unleash some surprises, the experts feel. Mary- land and Virginia Tech are not enter- ing teams in the tournament play. The odds are in favor of North Carolina, the experts think, because the Tarheels have shown courage and determination which enabled them to rise to the heights when hard pushed. A smooth-working and well coached team is another asset the Carolina school has to boast of. PRO HOCKEY || By the Associated Press. National League. Boston, 0; New York Rangers, 0; tle.

HOUGH the intercollegiates domi= I nate the track roost, it will be some time before the customers forget the wholesale assault Owens led on listed world indoor records in the National A. U. championships Saturday in the Garden. The Ohio State Negro ace set up a new broad jump standard of 25 feet 9 inches and then created a new record of 6.6 seconds in the semi-finals of the 60-meter dash. In the final, however, Owens was away slowly, and Ben Johnson, Columbia Negro sprinter, beat him to the tape and equaled the newly created record in the process Cunningham romped away from Bill Bonthron and Gene Venzke once more as he shattered the 1,500-meter reccrd, bringing it down to 3:50.5. The fifth record to fall came in the 1,500-meter walk, where Hank Cieman of Toronto was clocked in 6:07.3 The principal surprise of the meet was furnished by Chuck Hornbostel, previously unbeaten indoors at dis- tances from 600 to 1,000 meters. El- bowed at the start, Hornbostel, the defending champion, finished sixth in the 1.000-meter run, which Glen Dawson of Oklahoma won in 2:30.
