[injuries, hut the troubles of early season were all forgotten In the last few practices as the Commies prepared for their most bitter net rival In the state. The local netters have held the edge In games on the Fort Wayn • | team for several years. Many ■ great games have been played by the two aggregations, but the Com- ■ modores have won a majority. Central Catholic, this year boasts !of one of Its greatest net teams of the last 10 years. Once the Irish I faltered so far this season and lost a two-point decision to South Sid’ ■of Fort Wayne.

RUTH'S SALARY BID EXPLAINED 1 New York, Jan. 14. fiJ.R) Dis- ’ cussing the Babe Ruth dispute today. Colonel Jacob Ruppert, own r ' of the New York Yankees, made these pungent and interest In.; ' statements: "On the present basis of possible financial returns in baseball, the sala y limit for a player was [reached with Ruth's old contract, I whic h called for $70,000 a year, in I offering $75,000, lor two seasons, I i have gone beyond the limit. "Stories about the tremendous i profits of the New York club nr" figments of the imagination. Ini ten years Ruth has made more out of the Yankees than 1 have. "In refusing a three year contract to Ruth. I seek to protect the player himself, as well as my invest meat and the rights of all the other Yankees. "Ruth is fortunate that lite ownership of the Yankes is not spread among a lot of stockholders. If it were they never would stand for] offering him $15(1,000 for two years.] The book value of Ruth could not | possbly justify it. "I am not insensible to what he has done for the club and the | game, though I do feel he gives I himself too much credit for the pennant victories of the Yankees. "When Ruth informed me the other clay that he would get a three-year contract at $85,000 a season or quit. I reminded him that publicity in the sport pages had been a big factor in making possible h s $70,000 salary. “1 said, ‘Quit the diamond and where will you he? In a few days you will slide out of print. Nobody gets more newspaper attention than the president of the United States. How many columns a we k do you read about Calvin Coolidge, now that he has retired to private life?' "I told Ruth how much I appreciated what he had done for the Yankees, but I also pointed out how much he had cost me in the first place—and that he had taken exactly $520,00(1 in salary out c.f the Yankee treasury, and picked up a small fortune in world series prizes and other things. “When we bought Ruth in 1920. he cost $125,000. and I loaned Harry Frazee $375,000 more. Th" $375,000 is still owing to me. “We paid Ruth when he was out for weeks under suspension by Landis. That wasn't our fault. We have gone along with him—and he's got to go along with u . ’ Chicago Schools May Be Closed February 1 Chicago, Jan. 14—(UP)—School chi! Iren of th" second largest city in the United States probably will find pilbl'c school doors locked agai t them on Feb. 1 because Chicago cannot beg or borrow enough money o keep its elementary educational institutions going. Closing of the schools, mention’d is a dire possibility many times during the wrangling over the city's f'nancial tangle, appeared a probability today as the school board was deadlocked ove. its 1930 budget and ‘he mayor and city council w’ere so husv squabbling over he mimic.'pal budget they had no time to con aider ways to relieve the school.

Crowds just can't get over th" unmerciful drubbing which the Curtismen handed tit*; Vik ngs some! time ago. He immediately began howling and drubbing himself Al Capm and his basketball leant horsethieves, mm defers, and a lot of other ridiculous names -Those outI bursts mil*. have been brought on 1 by a guilty conscience— and then too.

But the Yellow Jackets have forgotten the Vikings for this season —there’s not a chance of ever playing them again this season — Huntington usually gets to the first game in the sectional, and then a call is issued for spring baseball and track at Huntington. The Uuitismen meet Bluffton here and in all probab.lity will meet them again al the Regional tourney at Fort Wayne that is if Decatur can bea Pleasant Millsand Berne. But tomorrow night Coach George Laurent's Catholic high school Commodores meet an ancient rival—Central Catho'ic of Fort Wayne—The Bi.mmitt C ty organization is doped by the Fort Wayne scribes as a heavy favorite. Decatur net fans feel difl'eren ly about th’ probable outcome of the go.ite here tomorrow night—Coach ament has driven bis charges through a lot of tough practice the list cbuple of days— No i-'ert Wayne team has tres,asset! on Decatur teams this year The 5 cllow Jackets have turned >ack No h and Smith Side —Surely he Irish can't expect to defeat the 'ommodores. — We'd bank on Gass. Mylott, Wemhoif, Lose and Gage against any team in Fort Wayne — and we believe they can trim ‘.he Central Catho'ic netterc.

Hartford, Geneva, Jefferson and Kirkland all are going good. Monroe doesn’t take trimmings so easy—and, well, net fans had better come to the sectional tourney. The Decatur Ca holic eighth grade netters will tangle with Berne eighth graders Wednesday night a! 7 o'clock as a preliminary to the big go—Earl Blackburn, Decatur's newest certified official will handle the game.

I A splendid physique which stood i him in good stead in winning and defending the world’s heavyweight boxing championship was aiding | the retired titleholder In his convalescence. which, his physicians, ■ confidently predicted, would be | speedy. The operation, which is one of •i series of misadventures which [ have beset Tunney since his retirement and marriage, was per--1 formed at the Presbyterian hospital yesterday by Dr. George Winthrop Fo h, noted surgeon and kidney specialist. A small ston« was removed from a passage between the kidney and the bladder. Tunney was under anaesthetic for ba'f an hour, but recovered quickly and passed a fairly restful night. Physicians who participated in 'he consultation joined with Dr. Fmh and pronounced Gene entirely Out of danger. He will lie able 'o leave the hospital in two weeks •f all goes as expected. Mrs. Tunney, the former PollyLauder, Connecticut heiress, is with the retired champion at the hospital. .

SHUTE LEADS IN GOLF TOURNEY ■ Riviera Country Club. Los Angeles. Jan. 14. —(U.R/—The fifth annual SIO,OOO Los Angeles open golf tournament swung into the home stretch today with Denny Shute, a voting professional from Columbus. Ohio, leading a field of 48 for first honors and the gold that goes with vetory. Denny was hard pressed by Horton Smith, Jopl'n, Mo., Bobby Cruickshank. Progress, N. Y„ and some hal* dozen others. Shute had a score of 222. representing 54 strenuous holes, some of which were played in driving rains which marked Friday's and Sunday’s seasons and left the Ri viera course slow and tricky for yesterday's play in the first sun ■hine of the tourney. Horton Smith and Cruickshank totalled 225 strokes to tie for second place. Bunched behind Sm'th and the New Yorker were Chet Deer. Bakersfield. Cal f., El Espinosa. Chicago and Tommy Armour, Detroit, with 227 strokes each. Leo Diegel, Agua Caliente, Mexico, was conceded a chance to win with his 228. The remainder of the 48 players. unless one of golf’s greatest ’psets is witnessed, must be con tent to struggle for the prizes which go to the first 10 or attempt to rank in the first 30 and thus avoid the risks that go with qualifying for next year's open. It remained for MacDonald , Sm’th pro'essional from Long Is- , 'ind. to give the gallery, including Douglas Fairbanks. Harold Lloyd. Fay Wray, Ruth Chatterton ; and other screen luminaries, the i biggest thrill of the tournament. Out of the running for major ‘ honors. Smith found himself and 1 made a par 71 for the 18 holes.
