Babe Ruth adds that quite a pile of his earnings is gone to swell the bank roll of ■ bookies. While the Babe no doubt still kes to make an occasional bet, for ere is a glamour to the running ires that lias a distinct appeal to ■any of the major league athletes, :c lias learned his lesson.

SWIM FEAT OF TORONTO YOUTH TALK OF SPORT WORLD

ANNEXES CITY H. S. NET TITLE Tech Has Little Trouble Disusing of Manual Saturday Night. ' Technical had ,but little trouble proving to the City of Indianapolis that its claims to the city basketball title were valid by winning its Anal clash of the series Saturday night at the Armory against Manual, 41-28. The Southsiders delayed the entrance of Rubush into the fray just a little too long and when the Red and White ace got into the melee the game was sewed up. Interesting for Time However, the Manualites made the affair rather interesting for a time in the second half when ably assisted by Turner found the range of the basket and started a rally of their own. Tffte Green retaliated with a counter-attack that dispelled all •further Manual hopes of getting within striking distance. The game started out with all the earmarks of a sizzling encounter. After four minutes of play the score was tied at 4-all. The Green started the real noise when they missed about two dozen hurried shots at the basket. Demmary broke the jinx with a field goal, Grimsley followed with two and Massy followed the example with another one. Pile Up Score The Green were in rfßSsession of a comfortable 23-11 lead at the half. The Arsenalites discarded their usual system of loafing during the second half and commenced piling up the score. With twelve minutes of play left and the score standing at 35-13, Rubush and Turner started a last desperate rally, but which was headed off. Grimsley was the big gun for Tech with seven field goals while Rubush connected for five. The Manual seconds defeated the Tech seconds in the curtain raiser, 19-12.

George Young, 17, Only One to Finish in Catalina Event. CAPTURES, $25,000 PRIZE Field of 102 Competes— Frigid Water Handicaps. Bn United Press LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 17. George Young, 17-year-old Toronto youth, only one of 102 econtestants in the Catalina Island swim to finish the race, today said he was going to spend his $25,000 prize to build a home in Los Angeles. "And when I get it built,” the Canadian boy who established himself over night as one of sportdons’s greatest idols. "I am going to bring my mother down here from Ontario to live,” he said. Young told of his plans as te lay in a hospital resting after his battle with the twenty-three choppy miles of sea between the mainland and Catalina Island. Already offers for his appearance in the movies and on the vaudeville stage began to appear. It is believed the original prize of $25,000, awarded him by William Wrigley, chewing gum king, would be augmented by at least $75,000 more if he chooses to capitalize his suddenly achieved fame. World’s Greatest Swim It took the young swimmer exactly 15 hours and 46 minutes to finish the greatest distance swim ever reoorded. He staggeded up on the California beach shortly after dawn Sunday. Young's victory was a striking lesson In perserverance. The lad had gained oonsiderable reputation in Toronto as a swimmer and when Wrigley announced his prize offer for the Catalina swim, he began training for It. He and a companion bought a used motorcycle with 'side car attached and started for California. They got as far as Memphis when the machine collapsed. There they remained several days and finally “coaxed” the machine to start once more. Eventually they reached California, with 60 cents capital between them. To enter the race it was necessary to have a boat and none was available for 60 cents. Young finally pleaded with Promoter Wrigley and others in charge of the swim until they were touched by his earnestness and arranged for a boat to follow him, carrying an official observer. MANY QUIT EARLY The swim was a remarkable spectacle. In the first few hours nearly half of the field withdrew. They (Turn to Page 9)

Ban Flays Judge Landis; Admits Ty and Tris Fired

By Clark B. Kelsey United Press Staff Correspondent HICAGO, Jan. 17.—The bitter feud between Ban B. John--I son, president of the American League and Judge K. M. Landis, czar of baseball, which apparently was ended with much jovial handshaping several months ago, is out in the open again as result of recent baseball probes, Johnson claims Landis is entirely responsible for "besmirching the reputations” of Ty Cobb and Tris and claims he is ready to tell Landis just that much when presidents of the American League clubs meet here next Monday.

GEORGE KEPT MOTHER IN MIND DURING STRUGGLE

Bu United Press TORONTO, Jan. 17.—Mrs. Jane Young, widowed mother of 17-year-old George Young, who won tho $25,000 Catalina Channel swim, was chiefly concerned over her son’s comfort today. "Poor boy, I should have been there to look after him,” she said. “Wasn’t it wonderful! He’s such a good boy.” It was some time after Mrs. Young had received the news before she could collect her thoughts. Then she was full of praise for George and a bit worried lest after his strenuous swim he was not receiving the proper care. "I hope they put him in- a nice, warm bed when he was through,” she said. Mrs. Young proudly showed the last letter she received from her son before the swim. “Pray for me and I will put my last ounce of strength and grit into the race,” George had written, “and won’t give up till I reach the shore and in front, f will be thinking of you all the time I am swimming.” The mother advised George “to do your best and don’t forget your prayers.”

"Tris Speaker is a different type of player, one I would call cute. Ho knows why he was forced out of the managership of the Cleveland club. If he wants me to tell him I'll meet him in a court of law and tt*ll the facts under oath.” All Lands’ Fault Reverting to the feud, wjrtch Johnson admits is being renewed through the present investigations, the American League president said it was entirely Landis’ fault that charges against Cobb and Speaker were made public. It is from Landis, Cobb should demand an explanation. The American'' League ousted Cobb, but it was Landis who broadcast the story of his mistakes.” Johnson said his agents had watched Cobb and Speaker and tho league had decided they should no longer be actively connected with league affairs. ''However, Johnson declares the records in those two cases are property of the American League and r. >t of the high commissioner of baseball. Johnson said he might even air the past difficulties between Landis and himself at the - meeting next Monday. The first break came when Landis did nothing to prosecute players in the “Black Sox” scandal in 1919, he said, and the second was over a financial transaction which Ire would not name.

In a special singles rolled at the same time McNew again won with his 702. Rassmussen was second with 680, and Jerry O’Grady third, with 626. "Mac” says this is the only time to shoot “700” totals, when they count both ways for you. 5 Keeler and “Hod” Eller won the prize offered for high single game when they rolled 474 in their final attempt. “Hod” had 247; Keeler, 227. No new members were added to the ”700” class last week, but Walter Wheeler surely did threaten with his 693 on games of 224, 269 and 200. The single game high score for the week was shared by three of the "pin busters,” Wheeler, Wege and Rassmussen having 269 each. C. Schott and Carmin were close behind, having 266 each. Bohne broke his string of 600 totals when he could only reach 590 in Friday night’s play. Among the women bowlers Mrs. Meyer- of the Capitol Furniture team was high when she rolled a 244. Behrman of the Tee-Bees was but one pin away for second place. Eleven of the women passed the 200 mark during the week's play.

The powerful EinRoe oulfit is but one game behind. As all of these clubs have a team average of 960 or better the going be rough from here on in.
