In four years he has played at only rate intervals. His first appearance was in 1923, when he sat out a season and a woiid series and drew down SII,OOO, of which $0,200 was series I money. In 1924 and '25 he was in the minors, but he returned in 1926 and sat and sat and sat—to the tune of $6,000 and world series dough. He did it again in 1927 and in 1928 he got a thousand extra for polishing the Woodwork in addition to the series coin. Now Mike goes to Newark, where, under Tiis Speaker's eagle eye, he probably will start doing calisthenics —or something. z some time.

gym. The Commodores hit the road today for a heavy week's schedule. Tonight, the Laurentmen play at Anderson, against the St. Marys high. Tomorrow night, they will be in Shelbyville for a game with St. Joseph's high. After resting on Thursday, they will journey to Fort Wayne on Friday night for the first game of their annual two-game series with their old rival, Central Catholic high. All three games promise to be fought assignments. Central of Fort Wayne rang up five straight last night, after defeating the Huntington Vikings at Fort Wayne, 38-31. Someone has got to stop those Tigers, and do it soon. A new column, “ 'Round The Ends 'O Sports, by D. A. G.” appeared in the Huntington Herald yesterday in the space where Cash Keller's “Fan Whiffs" used to be. It promises to be a snappy column. Welcome to our midst, D. A. G. Newcastle was forced to the limit to defeat the Winchester Yellow Jackets at Newcastle Saturday night, 25-23. With a minute and a half to play, Winchester tied the score at 23-a'l and it took a basket by the veteran Paul Kincade to pull the game out of the fire for the Trojans. MOST CHAMPIONS RETAIN CROWNS By Frank Getty, UP Sports Editor. New York. Jan. I.—(U.R)—Another year of sport reaches its end today with few changes of importance in the roster of champions to mark its passing. America's two most popular amateurs —Helen Wills and Bobby Jones —strengthened their hold upon the pinnacles of their respective fields of 1 endeavor. Babe Ruth, who personifies the spirit of baseball to millions, looks back upon 1928 as one of his greatest years. The ninth Olympiad witnessed another victory for the track and field forces of the United States. Although our margin of victory was decreased considerably from that of previous Olympic games. The football season of 1928 awaits the arrival of 1929 and the game at Pasadena between Georgia Tech and California before the final verdict can be rendered —the east and middle west having already snatched what I satisfaction they could from the victory of their all-stars over those of the Pacific coast on Saturday. Johnny Farrell and Leo Diegel replaced Tommy Armour and Walter Hagen in the van of professional golf in the United States, but “the Haig” can look back with no little graification to his victory in the British open. The year in boxing saw few changes in championships, but was marked by the retirement of Gene Tunney as heavyweight titleholder. Tony Canzoneri, beaten by Andre Aoutis, was the only champion to lose his title in the ring. Bill Tilden’s suspension, like Tunney's retirement, overshadowed developments of a strictly sporting nature, but there is reason to believe that the tall Philadelphian will be back among the amateur tennis players in 1929. In comparison with some of its predecessors, the closing year lacked real sporting thrills. Here and there, but at comparatively rare intervals, came those breathless moments which furnished the life spark of sport. The dramatic finish of the national open golf championship at Olympia fields, the smashing performances of Babe Ruth in the final games of the world series, the tense moment at Amsterdam before little El Quasi trotted through the marathon gate, the tremendous drive of California’s crew down the placid waters of the sloten, these were some of the big moments. The French continue to rule the tennis courts of the world, and bid fair to do so in 1929. The United States Polo four defeated the challengers from Argentine as convincingly as they rotued the British a year before. Glenna Collett came back to the peak of women’s golf. In most sports, the expected happened. Only in the matter of attendance as the year unusual, and this was but a further development of increasing world wide interest in al) forms of athletics. Football and baseball saw new attendance records set, 85,265 persons packing Yankee stadium to see the Yankees turn back the Athletics at the climax of the American league pennant race. o— —- Bird’s Peculiarity As far us is known, the swift is the only bird which moves its wings alternately lu flight.
