Ta LKING It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

New YORK, Oct. 16.—The Argentines did better in the sales markets than on the polo field. They sold forty-two of their mounts to American purchasers for $276,000. Gentlemen who keep statistics on these sales point to it as an extraordinary total. a t> a The last time the Argentines came here to play a polo match they sold thirty-five of their mounts for $135,000. This was thought to represent stylish money at the time, but compared with the new total it is little more than oat money. n tt tt Mr. Lewis Lacey, the captain of this year's Argentines, sold his mount, Jupiter, for $22,000. also a record figure. Two years ago the top sale yielded $13,000. tt tt tt THESE FIGURES ARE INTERESTING IN REFLECTING THE UPWARD TREND IN POLO HORSE FLESH. BUT OF MORE INTEREST TO THE CASUAL OBSERVER OF THESE INTERNATIONAL SPORTS MEETS IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE COMMERCIAL ANGLE. an a IN three years, lor instance, visiting polo teams have sold their stock here for a total of $551,000, which is important money in anybody’s bank. Not all of this was profit. It costs big money to maintain p polo stable, and even bigger money when you are carrying the mounts from one bank of the ocean to the other. tt tt tt The sale of the horses after a match is one of the customs of the sport, and in many instances is done as a traveling expedient rather than a commercial venture. tt tt tt The thing is just done differently In polo. Colonel Ruppert, foi example, does not put his players on the block after a world series is ended. Seven other clubs wouldn’t object if he did.

Normal so far this season has scored victories by top heavy scores over Oakland City and Rose Poly, but lost to Wabash. Capacity Purdue Crowd A crowd that will tax every inch of the Ross-Ade bowl at Purdue is assured. With the Wisconsin team victors over Notre Dame and contenders for th Big Ten title as an attraction against the Boilermakers, the average sport fan seeking out a great game will turn his eyes toward Lafayete. It being Purdue homecoming naturally means all

to which he devoted a remarkable career upon the diamond. Since the world series of 1925, when he was batted to all corners of Forbes field by the Pittsburgh Pirates one murky day in the final and deciding game, Johnson’s ambition has been to manage the Washington club. The Hop Went The greatest pitcher in baseball when at his prime, Walter recognized that more than two decades of effort in the box had taken the hop from his fast ball. Without that fast ball, for all his uncanny knowledge of the weakness of opposing batters, the Big Train was just an ordinary pitcher. Johnson had hoped he would be in line for the managership of the Senators when his pitching days were over. A year ago the blow fell when Clark Griffith suddenly announced his unconditional release. Walter took it like a sportsman, but his thoughts were his own. Then Came “Break” At the time, however, Bucky Harris apparently was making a success of the job and the Big Train had to be content with a minor league managership over in Newark with the Bears of the International League. Then came a break in his favor. Harris and Griffith parted company. The' Senators were without a manager. The obvious thing was for Griffith to turn to the man whom he had cut adrift a year before. Nothing Griffith could have done to improve the chances of his club to make money next season could have improved upon his selection. Whether Johnson will make good as a manager remains to be seen. ‘ZUPM/VORKS ON BACKS By United Press CHAMPAIGN 111., Occ. 16.

The£\li, IEOUTDOORS DUCKS ARE WILLING I"N spite of the fact man hunts them, kills them, deceives them with wooden decoys, even subjugates some of their own kind- to call them within gun range, wild ducks would willingly adopt man as a friend if man but said the word and signed an armistice. The wildness of ducks, their extreme weariness, are qualities well known to the hunter. And yet, it is amazing how short a time hostilities need be suspended, and kindness shown, to convince the ducks that all is well and that they may come near with impunity. And what is the sportsman's interest in this, aside from the immediate benefit of sanctuary to provide a steady flight of ducks instead of a “burned out” country? Aside from the joy of seeing and watching ducks, it proves so long as we have feeding and breeding places left, the wild duck need never be shot out, need never disappear for any reason short of some mysterious disease. Ducks can always be reared, will respond to sanctuary and protection and feeding as few wild things will. BROWN RECOMMENDED N. B. A. Puts Up Panama Negro for Bantam Title.

Star Eastern Backs Start Stepping Out Garvey of Yale, Marsters of Dartmouth Top List of Stars. By United Press NEW YORK. Oct. 16.—Brilliant back field stars already have begun to twinkle in the east. Johnny Garvey looked like one of the most promising backs of the season in the Yale-Geoigia game. Garvey carried the ball nine times for Yale and gained 117 yards. Alton Marsters, the “iight-rope walker,” is the nearest thing to a “Red” Grange the east ever has produced. Last year, as a soph at Dartmouth, Marsters gained more ground than any other eastern back. Although a marked man this season, Marsters promises to eclipse his feats of a year ago. Marsters has an unenny knack of running parallel with the sidelines and seldom stepping over the border line. A star no less brilliant than Garvey and Marsters is Chris Cagle, Army’s 'curly-haired flash. Once past the line of scrimmage, Cagle is perhaps the most diffiicult of all eastern backs to stop. He is built low on the ground and is fast as a streak. Harvard has three fine backs this season in Captain Art French, Dave Guarnaccia and Tommy Gilligan. Ed Wittmer of Princeton is among the best at gaining through the line. Kenneth Strong, New York University’s ponderous half back, is one of the east’s biggest and fastest ball carriers. Pennsylavnia has two exceptional backs in Dick Gentle, considered th* find of the season by Coach Lou Young and Captain Scull, who is a star runner, passer and kicker.

Dayton flyers of the ProI fessional Football League are not playing up to their name. They have cracked up three tim*s and are in the cellar. u n t Sentiment will give Walter Johnson a fine start as manager at Washington, but it won’t keep him there. At Newark the past season Walter discovered ball players do funny things when the least expected. His club fell far below its paper power. * tt m IF THE PHILLIES PAID $50,000 ALONG WITH SAND FOR TOMMY THEVENOW SOMEBODY WILL BE ACCUSING OWNER BAKER OF BEING A PHILADELPHIA POLICEMAN. THAT CLUB WOULD THINK TWICE BEFORE GIVING THAT AMOUNT FOR BABE RUTH. nan Leaving that $50,000 out of the argument, Burt Shotton has been bolstering the Quaker outfit in more ways than one. Perhaps he can trade himself for Bill McKechnie and get the Cardinal reins. He acts and talks more like a big league pilot than Silent Bin.
