BELIEVE RUTH WILL RETURN New York, Feb. 4—(U.R)~If there! is anywhere In this broad and olherwie favored land a baseball fan who imagines that Bath Rath is going to spend tlie current year in dipping coupons instead ot smnckiug homers, let him set his mind at rest. it is true that, the Babe has threatened to do so, if his salary demands are not met, but long before the fir t ball is shot down the groove to open the 1930 season • Ruth and his boss will have arrived at a mutually satisfactory decision. Despite Ruth's defy, demanding a salary of |86,000 a year and the insistence of the Yankees that they will not pay the sum demanded, everything will be straightened out before April 15. The Babe attempted Io startle the baseball world yesterday with an announcement that he would turn his broad back upon the national pastime unless lie received his price. Some weeks previous, the Yankees had their inning, annonncing'that they would pay so much and no more. Both sides left the door open for the compromise which will be arrived at some few weeks before the coming season opens. Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the New York American lamgue chib, thus far has declined to comment upon the Babe's latest outburst. Ten days ago, he informed the United Press that he did not consider Ruth entitled to a three-year contract, and as a business man his stand Is entirely rea <>nalde. Ruth’s legs may not last through three more seasons of major league strife. What will happen in the present controversy, according to realiable information from inside sources, is that the Lankees will meet the home run king's demands for the coming season ami will bargain him thereafter. In hi statement to the United Press, which created a nationwide sensation yesterday, Babe Ruth a»serted that if he were not paid !,'85.000 for the coming season he would retire and clip coupons. But in the end you will find that Babe will be out there in right field for the Yankees when the season opens, and his salary will be the large t ever paid to a major league ba’l player. — O' DfISM&WL' 11 'V t>- ex °h: ■ The big game here Friday night { is the Commodore-Kirkland game I at Catholic high school gymnasium. Kirkland and Berne have each won a game from the other this season. If the Commodores can trim Kirkland by a 10 or 12 point margin, it will mean that both Decatur high school teams are the outstanding teams of the county. If Kirkland wins over the Laurentmen Friday night, there'll be a different story to tell. The game should be interesting and provided no itpeets are injected into the play, the Commies should vin by at least five points. Will Wynn (d). who all winter has fired mean, contemptible, remarks at the Curtismen and Basketbawls, now has put on the reverse English and is crying for Sportsmanship. Which is all right with ns and we are sure Simon, who holds up the other sport pedestal for the Bears, will join. We haven’t any crow to chew with the Bears or with their highly manicured and handsomely dressed coach, Mr. Johnson, or even with Will himself. But long ago the Yellow Jackets left the Bears far behind and since that time have been out in the basketball forest hunting bigger game. Why should we continue to wrangle with our neighbors? Basketbawls is sincere when he says Sonny Johnson is one of the host coaches in northern Indiana. Sonny made a real team down at Berne the first year he took them over. And this year, folks, regardless of the lacing their received here some few weeks ago, the P-ars have a good basketball learn. ——— Coach Curtis is planning on calling the Jackets out for some light drills this week and then he’ll get them back into

the grind next week, before the West Suburb encounter Feb. 14. Decatur is the only luisketball team In the N il.I. conference with a dean slate. Bluffton is second ■ with one defeat and then come I Garrett, Fort Wayne Central, Kendallville, Huntington, Auburn and the rest. If we're going to have a conference, wouldn’t it be a good idea for the N.E.I. secretary to send out the standing, once in a while. We can stand the jibes of our ■ neighbors and when Cash Keller call? us New Jerusalem or when Buck cuts loose with Milk Stop on the (’ overleaf or even when Windy Will at Berne calls uh Hyenas, we can !augt| all that off hut when the Great Dick Miller, who admits be is one of the state’s greatest s|x»rt writers, completely ignores all tho teams in northern Indiana but Fort Wayne Central, our blood runs wild- - — As a matter of fact we doubt very much if the Great Miller has seen any of the teams down this way play basketball this year — Every day he has an item about the great Fort Wayne Central team—picks them as the best in the north, and —well if he wants to see a real basketball game he ought to come down here to the Decatur-Bluffton game Feb. 14. About six more weeks and the old column will be dusted off and sent to the morgue until next fall — But Indiana basketball history wij l>e made in the next elx weeks. Any writer who would attempt to pick the winner of the state tourney now would certainly be a good patient for an examining committee. • • The State Catholic tourney v. hich started two years ago already has outgrown Cathedral gymnasium at Indianapolis and the control board has announced the 1930 tournament will be played at the Indianapolis Armory. The chief teams entered in tho annual stale meet Include Fort Wayne Central Catholic, Decatur Catholic, Anderson Cathodic and '’athedial of Indianapolis The winner of the state Catholic meet will go to the national touriey at Chicago. Coach Olen Marsh out at Jefferson has organized a great basketball team this year. Fans of northern Adams county who haven't seen the Marshmen play have no idea just how strong Jeff is. When those Jeff netmen get darted in a game, it's plenty hard |'o predict just how big a score I run up—and we don’t mind telling the world we’re glad they play at the Bluffton sectional. 0 Purdue Sets Record Ijafayette, Ind., Feb. 4—(U.R)—A new western conference scoring record in basketball was hung up 'ast night when ’’Stretch" Murphy iropped the ball through the hoop for 28 points to lead his team in 'heir 60 to 14 victory over Ohio State. Murphy beat his own previous record by two points. The Boilermakers fairly smothered the Buckeyes throughout the contest, with Murphy and Wooden sinking shots at a dizzy pace. Murphy shot 13 field goals and two tree throws, and Wooden was next high man with seven field goals and three free throws. Tho Buckeyes got six field goa's and two free throws. Purdue’s victory left them at the top of the conference heap will) three wins and no losses. o — Lieb May Go To Loyola As Coach Chicago, Feb. 4 —(U.R)— Tom Lieb, who guided the Notre Dame '.'ootball team through an undefeated season last fall after Knute Rockne became ill, has conditionally accepted the position of head •oach at Loyola University of This Angeles, Calif., the Chicago Tribune said today. Reports were current at Los Angeles yesterday that Lieb had conferred with representatives of Loyola via telephone. It was believed the institution liad offered Lieb an annual salary of SIO,OOO. o— — Phosphorescent Light In damp woods and dark marshes ■ phosphorescent substance forms, commonly known as foxfire.

'PURDUE DOPED ’ TO WIN TITLE Chit ago, Feb. 4 (U.R) Purdue, winner of hist full's football title, . appeared to have Its second major wo.-terii conference championship 11 of the 1929-31) athletic year “in the 1 ■ bag" today.

Led by the lengthy ’’Stretch" Murphy, center. Purdue scored at will againkt the Buckeyes, who counled but two markers in the second half. Murphy's feat of scoring 13 field goals and two free throws r lor a total of 28 point ?

MAJOR LEAGUES PLAN TRAINING New York, Feb. 4. — (U.R) — The I last gathering of major league club owm : s and managers before the 1 iponing nf the spring trailing 1 season was held at the Hotel Commodore today when National league magnates adopt d the 1930 schedule. The season will open April 15 and close September 28. Out.-ide the meeting several •uairagers attempted to make their ' final efforts to strengthen their clubs by trades. At least two managers. Bill McKechßie of the Boston Braves a" 1 Dan Howley of the Cincinnati Reds, wen’ w iling to trade several players, but they had difficulty timing encouragement from any of i he other dubs. Sqme action was expected to be taken on tlie Brooklyn situation# which would lie down right serious, if it were not quite so ludicrous. Less than a month before the start of tlie training season, tlie Brooklyn club is still without a manager because two "hard-head-ed" and slightly elderly refuse to s t down at the same table and talk things over ami,bly. Indications point to tho re-elec-tion of Wilbert Robinson as manager and ■ tlie election of Frank fork io succeed Robinson as presilent if someone can keep “Uncle Robbie” and Judge Steve McKeever out ol' their childish argument for a good, solid hour. At a meeting of the International league yesterday President 'harles Knapp of Biltimore ap'ointed a committee composed of Walter Hapgood of Montreal, cha.rman, Warren C. Giles of Rochester, md George M. Weiss of Baltimore o confer with similar committees from tlie American Association md Pacific Coast league at Chi- • go in Juii" in tegard to rewriting he present major-minor agreement.

The commission ordered tlie purses of both fighters held up after Carn-ra had required only 17 seconds to put Rioux down for the (’ount. Rioux went down six times during that time and members of Hie commission who saw • h<» fight immediately ordered an investigation. Camera will not be present nt ’ho hearing today because of a bout at Newark. N. J., tomorrow night, but will be represented at the hearing by Walter Friedman, one of his Americifn backers. NAVAL PARLEY GROUPS HAVE LONG DEBATES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE> and that is what was discussei Hits morning. The French proposi| of a few days ago was to limit ship# by categories, but allow <1 eat elasticity in transferring tonnago from one class to another, within certain limits. The British issued a memoranI'.tn yesterday yielding a little lo he French proposal, but greatly restricting the transfer privilege, except among the smaller cruisers ind such types, and not allowing it at all in the case of battleships. Any such compromise would be a hybrid between the two original propositions, and each proponent could claim to have won its points in great part. The United States, stepping aside from the argument temporarily, “reserved its viewpoint" at today’s meeting. Tlie big five was understood to have discussed giving greater publicity to the conference at its meeting today. 0 In a Nutshell It Is etisy finding reiisons why other folks should be patient. t
