When we want to do something we act. “However, I would be in favor of trading Wilson, but that, is not up to me. That’s up to President Veeck and Manager McCarthy. There’s no use in having high priced executives if they can’t run a ball club themselves."

Wooden are the men largely responsible for Purdue's success. In the two conference games these men have scored three-fourths of the Boilermakers’ points. Against the Wildcats, Wooden’s dazzling dribbling was responsible for six field goals, while Murphy got four. Wooden had one free throw and Murphy four.

Club Firm on 2-Year Contract Time for Halt. Ruppert Declares as He Reviews Babe’s Life. BY DANIEL (Written for the United Ftps** (Oopyriaht, 1930. by United Press? NEW YORK. Jan. 14.—Discussing the Babe Ruth salary dispute today. Colonel Ruppert, owner of the New York Yankees, made these interesting statements: “On the basis of possible financial returns in baseball, the salary limit for a player was reached with Ruth’s old contract, which called for $70,000 a year. In offering him $75,000, I have gone beyond the limit. “Stories about the tremendous profits of the New York club are figments of the imagination. In ten years Ruth has made more out of the Yankees than I have. Bad Business, He Says “In refusing a three-year contract to Ruth. I seek to protect the player himself, as well as my investment and the rights of all the other Yankees. I find that threeyear agreements are unhealthy and ! bad business. No other Yankee from ! now on will be signed for more than one season.” Pointing to Ruth's contract, which was drawn up for two terms at $75,000 a season, Colonel Ruppert said: “This is the last word. Ruth is fortunate the ownership of the Yan- ! kees is not spread among a lot of stockholders. If it were they never j would stand for offering him $150,- ; 000 for two years. The book value j of Ruth could not possibly justify it. I “I am not insensible to what he has done for the club and the game, though I do feel he gives himself too much credit for the pennant victories of the Yankees.” Ruppert said he had discussed the matter of anew contract for Ruth with the late Miller Huggins last. July, and Hug had advised signing the Babe for only one year at a time. “He said the Ruth problem could be handled best and the Babe kept on his toes by single season contracts.

When we bought Ruth in 1920,. he cost $125,000. But that wasn’t all. Harry Frazee told me the $125,000 he wanted for Ruth would not help him —that he could not sell the Babe unless I loaned him $375,000 more. “So I went the limit and laid out $500,000 to get the player. That $375,000 still is owing to me. “We paid Ruth when he va: a for weeks under suspension by Landis. That wasn’t our fault. We have gone along with him—and he’s got to go along with us.” LONDOS THROWS STOCCA Bv United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—Jim Londos of St. Louis threw Joe Stocca of Italy after 40 minutes of .wrestling in the feature bout at Seventy-first regiment armory Monday night.
