S'" 1 |OME years ago Scotty Monteith, who used to manage >_Johnny Dundee and who now pilots Louis Kid Kaplan, featherwegiht champion, had a boy in his stable named Sammy Marino. Marino was the original sphinx. Either native dumbness or a natural disinclination to talk, Marino would go days without uttering an unnecessary word. Marino fought in the small clubs on the coast and became quite popular with the fans. Whenever he was at the ringside as a spectator the fans would demand he be introduced, and then they would clamor lotidly for a speech,' knowing his reputation for lack of chatter. Always Marino would crawl through the ropes, bow this way and that way, and then go back to his seat without even parting his lips In a smile. But the fans never gave up. They kept right after him and one night Marino gave them the shock of their lives. As usual he crawled through the ropes and took his bows and, while demands for "speech” broke in a din about his head, Marino lifted his hand for silence, cleared his throat and spoke as follows: “Ladies and peepul! I fight any. body my heavy, winner take ’em everything.” It is said It was this speech that inspired the Lardner School of English in America. Scipio Wins Two Timea Special SCIPIO, Ind., I>b. 2.—Scipio High School took a double-header from Hayden, the boys winning, 17 to 9, and the girls taking their game, 27 to 20.

Rogers Hornsby equal If! Ty Cobb's greatest feat? LzU When Hans Wagner led the National League for four consecutive years the baseball world marveled. Then along came Cobb. In his second full season in the majors, 1907, Cobb showed the way to the rest of the American League batsmen. For nine years he performed the remarkable feat of leading the swatters In the American loop. Cobb had set his goal as ten years in a row, but Tris Speaker spoiled his hopes in 1916 by topping Cobb fifteen points, Ty being the runnerup. However, the Tiger star was only temporarily halted, for he resumed his batting ways in 1917 and for three more years led the league in batting. tt seemed Cobb had set one record that would stand for years if

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

not all time. Perhaps it will. But now we have Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Cardinals flashing across the horizon. Last season, when Hornsby batted .424 he set anew modem record for the majors, topping the best that Cobb, Sisler, Wagner, Lajole or Hellmann ever offered. In winning the batting honors of the National League in 1924, Hornsby broke Wagner’s long standing record of four in a row. Hornsby is the outstanding batter of the National League, if not the majors. For five consecutive years he has demonstrated the fact. Hornsby is still a young man. Barring injury he should be able to see many more years of service at his best. Os the present-day batters he is the only one that hew a chance to equal or better Cobb’s record.

EIGHT DOLLARS PER DAY IS GREAT NURMI’S ‘PAY’ i Running as Amateur Keeps Finn Out of x With Dempsey and ‘Ruth as Attraction. ' By HENRY L. FARRELL * I . United Preaa Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—Jack Dempsey, Babe Ruth and Paavo Nurmi, Tex Rickard estimates, are the three greatest attractions in sports. Charlie. Paddock was once an illustrious member of the “big three,” but the record-breaking Finn has taken his place.

Dempsey is worth 3500,000 every time he works. He has not worked in the ring since 1923 when he earned $750,000 for two fights. Ruth draws $52,000 a year from the New York Yankees and be probably collects another SIO,OOO from the little extras he does on the side. Very Little Profit Nurmi Is an amateur. Dempsey and Ruth are highly paid professionals. Nurmi is allotted $8 a day for expenses. Out of those eight bucks he must pay for a place to sleep, must keep himself in food and foot the bills for Incident'*.'!*. Since he has been in this country Nurmi, it is estimated, has appeared before 50,000 spectators who have paid about $50,000 to see him run. Nurmi gets no part of that gate, because he is an amateur. How much Nurmi gets for running has been a popular form of speculation since he became a first page story In this country. Some feel that although he is an amateur he may profit considerably from his activities. Refuses to Write Nurmi, however, is an amateur, according to the strictest spirit of the rule. He was offered $2,600 recently by a syndicate for a series of six signed articles telling of his method of training and running, and he turned down the offer. He said it would make him look like a professional, although the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union permit an athlete to accept pay for ’’literary activities” providing he writes his own copy. His expenses when he came to the United States —second class — were advanced by the Finnish-Ameri-can Athletic Club. H. A. C. PLAYS BUTLER Two Games Scheduled for Friday— Middlesworth In Game.
