Playing

the Field 1 With Billy Evans i ~~jUNNY how every now and j j-i I then some pretty good-look-i - I ing pitcher is waived out of ;he majors without any great trouble. I have in mind Paul Zahniser of .lie Boston Red Sox, who was sent

to the minors at the close of last season. It is my opinion Zahniser has enough stuff to help several major league clubs that I could name. Dame Fortune smiles blandly on some ball players and frowns on others. Zahniser is one of those players who seems to have received more than his share of tough

Evans

breaks. Beginning his major league career with Washington, he looked like a great prospect. As is often the case, a salary grievance started him on his hard luck that eventually led to the minors. HAD SALARY TROUBLE >"-* j FTER a ball club wins a pen- | A I nent and a world champion* HJj ship, the following year always is filled with plenty of woe for the management in signing up its players. Washington turned such a trick in 1924 and immediately there was a bunch of holdouts lor Owner Griffin to appease. It so happened Zahniser was one of them. In the winning of the pennant by Washington in 1924, Zahniser s contribution was live victories and seven defeats, not a very convincing argument to get more money. It didn't take the Washington club long to settle his case. He was traded to the Boston Red Sox, then a hopeless tail-ender; possibly as art< object lesson to some of the other boys who were asking for big dough. RETURN MAY COST E FATING to win ball games for the club that has represented Boston in the American League for several years has been just about the toughest task one probably could hand a pitcher a real assignment. With Boston, Zahniser did as well as any of the others on the staff. Weak in pitching, l was surprised to learn Boston had asked waivers. I was even more sui • prised it was possible to get all sixteen clubs to pass up their claim on him. Zahniser has more than the average stuff. He is smart and can field as well as any pitcher in the game. He should be able to win fairly consistently with a good club. Always troubled with lack of control, he suffered more during his sta.y with Boston than at W ashington. This he attributed to the fact that he was trying to keep the opposition from taking too many liberties, because of the mediocre team that Boston had. He always has insisted what he needed most was a regular turn in the box. It wouldn’t surprise me if some club paid a fancy figure for the return of Paul Zahniser to the majors next fall.

FRENCH DEFEND STATUS Reflection on Their Tennis Amateurism Develops Some Caustic Comment. Bn Times Special PARIS, March 2.—The outstanding “Big Four” of French tennis, Lacoste, Cochet, Borotra and Brugnon see sour grapes growing on the professional vine in the C. C. Pyle vineyard. ■ Vincent Richards’s recent diatribe on the suspicious character of French amateur tennis in which he accused Jacques Brugnon of being on the payrool of a tennis ball manuacturer and Ilenri Cochet of cashing in on his fame as a sporting goods dealer, brought a prompt denial. “We all like Vinnie, and believe he is serious in his charges,” Brugnon 3aid. “It sounds funny to us to hear America casting reflections on the value of amateurism in any other country. We have our own ideas of American amateurism and we can say that in comparison French amateurism is lily white.” M. Paul Champ, former president of the French Lawn Tennis Federation, pointed out that three of the “Big Four” are wealthy and that tennis a pastime for them. The fourth, Cochet, Is a youth of few desires, the son of the groundkeeper of a Lyons tennis club. He strung rackets and sold tennis supplies long before he learned to play the game.

Babe, in New York, Asks Highest Salary in Major Leagues. COMPROMISE PREDICTED Homer King Puts Demand at SIOO,OOO Yearly. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 2. Babe Ruth came back home today to demand that the New York Yankees make him baseball’s first SIOO,OOO-a---year man. As the Twentieth Century Limited bore the home run hitter down the Hudson to New York, the sport world awaited with friendly interest the struggle between two of baseball’s most colorful figures. On the one hand was Ruth, who came from a boys industrial school in Baltimore to be the greatest slugger the game ever has known, the greatest single boxoffice attraction, and, in the opinion of many of his devoted admirers, the most valuable all-around player in either major league. Jake No Spendthrift On the other hand was Col. Jake Ruppert, former brewer and baseball magnate, a genius for spending money in the right direction to turn out world champion baseball teams—also a, genius for keeping his team on the right side of the ledger and not throwing money away. The betting of the fans wa3 on the Babe to win. Ruppert has offered. Ruth a renewal of his last year's contract at $52,000 a year. Ruth has demanded a two-year contract at SIOO,OOO a year and refund of $7,000 or more that he has paid in fines. One popular guess was that a compromise would be reached at $75,000 a year—but no less. Cold, snappy weather greeted Ruth on his arrival from California, where he has been dabbling in the movies and playing golf. It was from there he sent his salary demands to the Yankees by letter, bringing him to the front of the news once again. Always in Spotlight The Babe always has been in the news. He came back to New York once with a stomach ache that rocked the baseball world. He came back another time bearing a fine of $5,000 imposed upon him by Manager Huggins. He came back at varrious other times after breaking home-run records and doing things that only the ball player that the Babe is could get away with. But today Ruth came back in state looking for big money—more money than is paid to the President of the United States —more than Is paid to any ball player in the professional game or to any manager of any club in professional baseball. MRS. RUTH ILL Wife of Home Run King in New York Hospital. Bn Times Special NEW YORK, March 2.—Secrecy reserved for the great and wealthy surrounded Mrs. George Herman Ruth wife of the famous Yankee slugger, in St. Vincent’s Hospital, Tuesday. Information concerning the patient’s condition was refused by the hospital authorities, and by Dr. Edward King, Mrs. Ruth’s physician. It was said that Mrs. Ruth might be indisposed for ten days or so. She entered St. Vincent’s last week.

Boys’ Games Not for Girls!

Bv Times Snecial MADISON, Wis., March 2.—High tribute was paid Miss Blanche Trilling, director of the women’s physical education department, University of Wisconsin, when she was asked to address the recent session of the National Association of Deans of Women. Speaking on the subject of “Safeguarding Girls' Athletics,” Miss Trilling received a splendid reception. Emphasizing the unprecedented situation of interest in athletics and outdoor recreation, Miss Trilling explained its relation to women. “The following important points should be kept in mind when creating an athletic program for girls and women,” stated the Wisconsin directress: 1 All athletics should be developed from the point of view of the girls’ special needs and conditions, and should not be copies of standards and programs developed originally for men. 2. The different physical make-up. the limitations and special responsibilities In the scheme of life of women must deeide the type of athletics that shall he included in any program developed for them. 3.

No girl should be allowed to indulge in games which tax her strength and which mav cause permanent injury. ti. All athletics for girls should be under the direct supervision of well-trained women and not under men coaches, who are likely to over-estimate a girl's strength.

Cash or Players If the big league team keeps Speece after thatujate, Indianapolis is to be reimbursed with a sum of cash or players suitable to Manager Betzel. And Betzel said today he would prefer players in the Speece deal if Ownie Bush has some surplus talent to offer that looks good enough to help out the local roster. Vice President Smith expressed the opinion that the Speece' transaction had the earmarks of being a life saver for the Tribe. The Local “Need” The Indians need another capable righthanded hitting outfielder and a shortstop, and the Pirate? probably will be in a position to deliver one or the other. Pittsburgh needs pitching strength and it is said Speece Is rated an almost “sure shot” to be retained on the Pirate staff’. Manager Betzel. Vice-president Smith and Secretary Clauer were at Washington Pari; today lining up the names of players who will leave here .Saturday on the spring training jaunt to Sanford. Fla. It Is believed the party out of Indianapolis will consist of about twenty-two. Other pastimers will go from their homes direct to Sanford. Betzel said he expected to take Eddie Sicking south and retain hint until a deal is proposed that will fill the hole at shortstop. The new Tribe boss rejected the Milwaukee proposition for Sicking. Owner Borehert offered shortstop Flippin and catcher McMenemy, or Flippin and catcher Thompson. Betzel objected because ho figures Flippin a false alarm in the field and at bat. If Slcking’s throwing arm measures up this year to what it was season before last, the Clncy veteran may start the season in the short field for the Tribe if he is not beaten out by other candidates.
