Playing the Field

VERY major league club owner has designs on the pennant in his league. Yet, the winning of a championship, the world series in particular, is baseball’s greatest troublemaker. The first reaction is felt among the fans, after the magnate vainly has tried to satisfy

200,000 who have applied for tickets, when his ball park will seat, say, only 40.000. There never was a world series played that didn’t leave a trail of discontent and dissatisfaction among the fans of the city winning the right to play in the baseball classic. Already echoes of

Evans

last season are proving that the experience of President Samuel Breadon of the St. Louis Cardinals is no exception to the rule. SALARY GRIEVANCES mHE second cause for grievance centers among the players. When it comes to signing up after playingKon a team that has won a world championship, the athletes, in some cases, get an exagger**ed opinion of their worth. Either that condition /exists or else the magnate is inclined to be tight with the cash on hand. Ball players, no matter how much they are getting, always will refer to the magnates as misers. It is only natural, that a player after he has helped win a pennant and a world series, should be of the opinion that his services are worth more money. He then proceeds to jar loose from the magnate as much as he possibly can before signing. BIG MONEY SERIES ■£3=l HE first series in which real J big money was taken in at LiLJ the gate was the 1912 clash oetween the New York Giants and the Boston Bed t>bx. In that series, 250.000 people paid $500,000 to see the two clubs battle for eight games, the Red Sox finally winning on the now famous Snodgrass muff of a fly ball. ’-jnmy McAleer, the man who j-ame me my start in baseball, was president of the Boston Bed Sox that season. As 1 leqnll it, the annual payroll of the club that year was $90,000. mighty big in those days, but a mere nothing now. Jimmy once told me that after winning the 1912 series it cost hint close to $200,000 to sign the boys u' iSt Ul3. WOK OF CARDINALS S'" 1 INCE that time the receipts ofulie world series have con- . stantly increased and also the •claries. With tha training season about a month ‘.bg St. Louis Cardinals have signed oivy about half of the regular players. Ament says Sam EDradon. Cardinal president, to the bti*>f that winning a world scries maltes trouble for the magnate.

INDIANAPOLIS AMATEUR NET TOURNEY TO START THURSDAY

VETERAN PLAYERS SHIFTED Majors Make Wholesale Change of Several Prominent Second Basemen. Bn Y/M Service NEW YORK. Feb. 7.—Since the close of the 1926 baseball season there has been a wholesale shift of second basemen in the majors. Many of the stars of the game have been affected. Most important of the changes, of course, was the deal that sent Rogers Hornsby to New York and Frankie Frisch to the St. Louis Cardinals. They are rated the two leaders in the National. Eddie Collins, conceded the greatest second sacker of all time, now well past the peak of his game, was given his unconditional release by the Chicago Americans, only to sign with Connie Mack, the man who gave him his start. Marty McManus, a player with great possibilities, who has not been at. his best for several years because of dissatisfaction with his berth, goes to Detroit, where he should star for George Moriarty. Frank O'Rourke shifts to St. Louis in part exchange for McManus. The veteran Aaron Ward of the New York Yankees goes to Chicago, while Ray Morehart of the White Sox, changes his residence to Gotham. He will be used in substitute roles by Huggins. Bill Wanibsganss, after years of service in the majors with Cleveland, Boston and Philadelphia, passes to Kansas City. The year 1926 will go down in baseball history as a mighty unusual one for major league second basemen.

Bu United Press PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 7.—Connie Mack, who has returned after a trip to Augusta, Ga., to interest Ty Cobb in an Athletic contract, was noncommitttal concerning his chances in landing the Georgia Peach. “We had a talk in Augusta and came North together, continuing our conferences,” Mack said, “but I haven't the slightest idea whether he will sign with us or not. I don’t expect to know until Cobb makes an announcement himself either Tuesday or Wednesday.”

JOLLEGIATE basketball in Indiana still is in a scrambled i__J heap, probably the most mixed up affair Hoosier fans-have had the opportunity to witness in a long time. Half of the teams in Indiana do not know whether they are standing heads or tails up. Butler's defeat by Evansville Saturday night just served to add another touch of mixing up. It's a great life, what? Despite Butler’s defeat by Evansville, we believe die local aggregation deserves a world of credit. ’’Tony” Hinkle has one of the “fightin’est” teams ever to represent the Irvington school. After going through a gruelling road trip with four games against some of the strongest tgams in the Middle West and taking three victories, the Bulldogs returned home to learn that four players were ineligible. Then the Bulldogs took the floor against Franklin and played a wonderful game of basketball to nose the Baptists out. We’ll just overlook that Evansville game. The boys did enough as it is. AI Meyer, coach of the South Side Turner team, came in with a good one about one of his players Sunday. Big Lawrence Sclimidt got excited in the hottest part of the game and passed the hall directly into the arms of the referee. Foul! It was a hectic week-end for our local high school basketball teams. Not a one was a!A* to turn in a victory in two nights ,V play. Friday night Broad Ripple, Cathedral and Manual went down to defeat and Saturday night Technical, Shortridge and Manual repeated the stunt. The Indianapolis Big Four basketball team had a rather easy time taking the regional tournament of the New York Central Lines Saturday. The locals, flashy and speedy, won the final game from Cincinnati, 43-11. In the first game

the local team swamped C 1 eveland, 69-11, and in the semi-final tilt romped over Bellefontaine, 33-17. j The Indianapolis outfit will represent the district at the national meet in Buffalo, N.

WOMAN DEFEATS CHANNEL First to Swim Catalina — Paves Way for Son’s Education. Bit United Prrxx LONG BEACH, Cal., Feb. 7.—With four deep gashes in her breast —sustained in a furious battle with a barracuda —Mrs. Myrtle Huddleston, first woman to swim the Catalina Channel, lay in hospital today, happy because her fegit had paved the way for her 11-year-old son's education. Mrs. Huddleston collapsed when ifhe reached the California mainland yesterday, 20 hours and 42 minutes after she had entered the water, near Cape Vicente. She was lifted semi-conscious, from the surf, blood oozing from her wounds and her legs almost completely paralyzed. Very Little Food Near the end of her long grind, Mrs. Huddleston, already weakened by hours of continual struggle with adverse currents and high waves, was believed attacked by at least one barracuda—a vicious, shark-like fish which infests the Catalina waters. She refused to give up. She took little food, but during the last hour or less, she drank a half pint of whisky. Semi-conscious during the last half hour, she swung her arms mechanically until, at 11:14 a. m., she struck bottom. When Mrs. Huddleston entered the water she weighed 250 pounds. When she finished she weighed 220. She took up swimming a year ago to reduce. Offers Expected * Mrs. Huddleston attempted the swim, she said, because she needed money to complete the education of her son. With the distinction of being the. first woman to cross the twenty-three-mile stretch of water, it was believed today that she would be offered motion picture and vaudeville contracts lucrative enough to enable her to see her young son through college. In the William Wrigley. Jr., Catalina Marathon won by George Young. Toronto, Mrs. Huddleston was also a contestant, but was forced out when she almost had reached her objective. The heavy seas and fog conquered by Mrs. Huddleston proved too much for three other swimmers yesterday who attempted to emulate her feat. Peter Meyer, Cincinnati, was taken from the water five miles from his goal. Martha Stager, Portland. Ore., was pulled out in mid-ehannel and Lottie Schoemmell. who started at dawn, was removed from the turbulent sea four and one-half miles from Catalina Island.

Viinnie Takes Slam at Amateurs

Bu United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—Despite the storm of criticism created by the decision of the United States Lawn Tennis Association to omit Y’incent Richards from 1926 ranking as an amateur because he turned professional after the summer season, it N appeared today that no concerted effort would be made to upset the decision. Richards feels strongly against the tennis association for refusing him the No. 1 ranking most net critics believe he earned, but the anti-pro-fessional spirit among amateui# is Nation-wide. The former Davis cup star takes the position that, while he is an admitted professional, there are scores of other players zealously retaining their “amateur” standing who, nevertheless, rely upon their tennis prominence to increase their incomes.
