Unless he knocks out the veteran Loughran it probably will be the kid’s last fight in a Garden windup for some time. A decision won’t suffice.

Red Faber, Oldest Major Leaguer, Awaits Eighteenth Season With Sox

BY CLAIRE BURCKY NEA Service Writer /CHICAGO, Feb. 6.—By far the most interesting bit of information in the 1931 roster of the Chicago White Sox, which contains practically every piece of statistical data except individual finger-prints, is the little item in the date-and-place-of-blrth column which reads “Sept. 6, 1888, The date would .mean little but for the fact that in “Urban Charles Faber.’’ And |p||with this combination of name and date, you have a /- \ Old Red Faber, veteran of v.> / seventeen consecutive White 'Xsjs Sox campaigns, is ready to ' shuffle into another, burW dened this time by way of being the oldest player in major league baseball and Faber the sole survivor of the clan •V saliva ball dispensers. Faber was a college twirler of major league possibilities before Hal McKain, his pitching teammate, was bom. His first professional offer came from Dubuque in 1909 and Pittsburg drafted him the following season. The Pirates

heavyweight'j as Jack Gross and Dick Daniels, is confident he will take Baer, and insists his added poundage has not slowed him up nor marred his boxing skill. Tommy probably is a trifle optimistic. The fact that both Gross and Daniels, along with King Levinsky, had him on the floor at one time or another would Indicate that his boxing’s not what it used to be. In his prime the Philadelphian was well-nigh right-hand proof. If what he says is true, however, Baer is in for an artistic boxing lesson. Even if Tommy is no more than half his old self he should be able to give the coast youngster trouble, for Baer knows less than nothing about boxing.

shipped him back to Dubuque only to recall him in 1911, after which they released him to Minneapolis. a a a RED then drifted to Pueblo and Des Moines and while pitching in his home state he was sold to the White Sox for $3,500. He reported at the close of the 1912 season, while Charles Comiskey and John McGraw were completing arrangements for a world playing tour with stars recruited from various major league teams. On the trip around the world he pitched four of the five victories the McGraw team won. Without the spitball, Faber himself will tell you that he never could have reached the major leagues. He could put something on the ball by other means but a sore arm which developed in 1911 while he was at Pueblo made him resort to the moist delivery. Thereafter he mastered the trick and he swears he never has had* a sore arm since. Red knows the sweet taste of hero worship and the sourness of razzberries. Annual campaigns have been full of both for him. He also appreciates the all-revealing glare of a world series spotlight. Faber pitched and won three games for the Sox in the 1917 world series with the Giants. He also stole third base with a teammate occupying that corner, introducing a “John Anderson” for the first time to world series compeition. And he was on the mound the day Heinie Zimmerman pursued Eddie Collins across home plate with the score that gave Faber and the White Sox victory.

Cruising in Sportland

THE big leagues’ crop of sluggers generally are in accord with Chuck Klein of Indianapolis, who pounds ’em over the fences for the Phillies, regarding the effort to take the rabbit out of the baseball used in the big show. “The new ball probably will reduce batting averages and extra base hits,” says Chuck, “but it will give home runs their proper value You can make homers with any ball if you meet it squarely, and I don’t think the fans like the trick homers made with the rabbit ball.” The Indianapolis boy is correct in the manner in which he sizes up the situation and he shouldn’t be bothered much by the new pill Two others who don’t have to worry are the Big Bam and Hack Wilson

Talking about Wilson always brings up the now famous Giant boner on the Cub star. John McGraw obtained Hack from the Portsmouth (Va.) team late in 1923 and in ’24, Hack got into 107 games with the Giants. He only hit .295 and McGraw threw up the towel for the time being. a a a “XT'OU can’t hit curve balls,” said X Jawn, "and I don’t think you could hit Lookout Mountain with a handful of sand.” Down went Hack to Toledo—on option. Somehow, some way, somebody in the Giant front office got the signals crossed and withdrew the obtion making Wilson eligible for the draft. a a a The Cubs stepped in and took him and under Joe McCarthy’s guidance, Wilson became a real slugger. In ’26 he walloped 26 home runs; in ’27 he poled out 30; in ’2B he sent 31 out of the park; in ’29 he put the big wham on 39, and last year he took all the honors by lamming ont 56 circuit drives. a a a Hack won’t be 31 until April 26 and he’s got many more years to go. Although he’s one of the most famous of the diamond aces there are many fans w’ho don’t know how big he is. He’s just five feet six inches tall and weighs 190. The pudgy one isn't a trouble maker and he’s never given any manager a bit of w’orry. They do say that he’ll be the easiest one on the club for Hornsby to handle. a a a FROM Phillipsburg, 0., comes the word that Jess Haines is ready to start his seventeenth season 4n organized baseball —his twelfth in the majors. Jess is packing his pajamas and is nearly ready to head for Bradentown, training camp of the Cards. “I may be getting a little on in years,” says Jess, "but the old arm feels fine.” a a a A few years ago the boys laughed whenever they mentioned the receipts at the Boston Braves park. Last year it was a bit different. And this year it looks as if the Braves will collect as many spondulicks in their exhibition games as they used to gather in all year. They play twenty-

two games against seven teams, seven of the contests against the Yankees. mam THE Cubs play seven games with the Pirates. That’s because they’re the only two teams training on the west coast. Mentioning the Pirates, brings up the fact that ten of the sixteen big-time clubs will try out new third-sackers this year. That’s wher<£ the Bucs are sitting pretty—with Pie Traynor. a a a Jim Bottomley says he’s “marked 1930 clean off the books.” Bet Jim wishes he could throw away every record book in the country dealing with 1930 and the world series. tt a a There's an Indian in the majors this year, says one of the boys over east. He’s Bob Johnson, the A.s new infielder. He’s a half-Indian, and so’s his brother, Roy Johnson of Detroit. And so the New Yorker pipes up with: “That makes on e full Indian.” ana Joe Savoldi, one of Knute Rockne’s erstwhile “Fightin’ Irish,” will make his wrestling debut in Kansas City on Feb. 16 for $3,500.
