Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW York; Dec. 10.—All week press agents have been sending pictures around to the sports editors of A1 Singer, the prize fighter. who it appears returns to the big time against Battling Battalino in the Garden ring Friday night. At first I was unable to recosrnlze Sinser In the pictures because thev showed him In an uprleht position with his hands cocked In battle formation. I suppose this was due to the fact thr.t the last several times I saw fjlnirer he was down in the resin dust souirmlne around like a hooked sunfis.h and ranoine himself on the back of the neck In a manner that sueaested either he needed a headache wafer or a keeper. It 1? evident bv the pictures that SlnKer has been restored to a perpendicular state and while he does not look exactly normal standing un. X think everybody will agree that the photographers have done a splendid job In recreating the Illusion ot a fighting man. Singer once held the lightweight championship for about twenty minutes, as the crow flies, and perhaps that explains everything. I don't know whether you realize it or not but a sinister cloud seems to hang over the lightweight champions. You can go back as far as Gans. who died a premature death largely as the result of taking off too much weight tor his fights. Bat Nelson was next in line and he is prettv much of a pathetic figure out In the middle west these da\‘ His face is battered into a gargoyle's mask and he has done some time in the psychopathic wards. He used to boast that he wasn't human, and he stayed in the ring almost long enough to make the boost come true. Ad Wolgast followed Nelson both to the championship and the human Junk nile The Michigan Wildcat thev called him. Like Nelson the Wildcat useo ro l.ad wHh his chin, and block with his head. For a number of years now he has been walking on his heels and watering paper flowers. completely dlzrv. jt a a WILLIE RITCHIE managed to escape the blight, although I he came out of the ring with little j more than a bag of peanuts and the , morning papers. Which is to say he didn't get himself a whole lot of dough. Freddie Welsh came after Ritchie and for a while he did all right. But a few , years ago the sports world was startled to hear that this once great little champion had died In poverty and that the Lord Lonsdr.le belt he prized so highly had sold to nav the grocer and the candle stick maker. Os all the lightweight champions, Benny Leonard prospered the most. The fates* seemed to single him out. All that had been denied the others was given unto Leonard—health, wealth and fame. At the peak of his career, he retired. Not so long ago I was catching the midnight train lor Boston to cover a football game. A familiar looking figure came clomping through the rotunda of the station. He wore a slouch hat pulled down over his eves and a long tan camel s hair coat, and he carried a big heavy bag. It was Leonard, a victim, like many other rich men. of the Wall Street cyclone. He was catching a midnight train himself, heading for some salt and pepper village up in Vermont to box ten rounds with the local pride. At the most he wouldn’t get more than 1300 for the fight. He seemed brave and heerful enough but somehow I didn't feel ike talking fights to him—and normally ,’iere is nobody I would rather talk fights to After an embarrassing pause. Leonard Ihrugged his shoulders, and said, “it’s all 1 1 the game.” and disappeared through pie of the arched portals that carried fim into the darkness and to the bushes bf fame.

state secrete when I say that there is a pretty general belief among baseball men that Hornsby is out unless the Cubs win the 1932 pennant. William Wrigley, who owns the Cubs, is interested only in managers who win pennants. Wrigley has a very high scorn for place or show money, and this makes it imperative that his managers win pennants to hold their jobs. If you doubt me, ask Joe McCarthy. Joe signed Hornsby in 1929 and the Cubs won the pennant. In 1930 they didn’t. In 1931 Hornsby, the man McCarthy was instrumental in bringing to Chicago, got his job.

Wilson Is Tagged for Another Move Shortly Cardinals Believed Ready to Use Hack in Second Deal: Cubs Elated Over Landing Burleigh Grimes, One of 1931 World Series Heroes. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—The baseball world today speculated over the fate of Lewis R. (Hack) Wilson, traded to the world champion St. Louis Cardinals, Wednesday along with Bud Teachout, southpaw pitcher, by the Chicago Cubs for Burleigh Grimes. Rumors would not down that the former National League home run king will be traded to another club bv the Cardinals before the 1932 season. Three possible deals for Wilson have been mentioned. They are: to Brooklyn, for Dazzy Vance or Johnny Frederick; to the Boston Braves along with other players and cash, for Ed Brandt, star southpaw; to Cincinnati, for third baseman Joe Stripp.

Inasmuch as Boston has shown no inclination to part with Brandt, the player most wanted, not only by the Cardinals, but the Cubs and one or two other clubs as well, it seems that Wilson will wind up with Brooklyn if he is traded. The Robins are willing to gamble on Wilson staging a comeback after his disastrous slump from 1930 to 1931, but it is a mystery why the Cardinals want Vance, a veteran, and whose salary last year was $23,000, approximately $5,000 more than Grimes drew. Hack Faces Drop in Tay Wherever Wilson winds up, he is due for one of the biggest salary slashes any player ever received in the majors. His salary last year was $37,500, and the Cards, for instance, didn’t pay their two greatest players, Grimes and Frisch, that much. His 56 home runs, a National League record, and 190 runs batted in, a major league record, in 1930 enabled Wilson to command his big wage this year. Owner Breadon’s only comment on Wilson’s future is, “the Cardinals are always trying to get good ball players. If we think Wilson still is a good ball player we may keep him.” Cubs Are Pleased As for the Cubs, they are highly elated over their end of the trade which enabled them to get rid of two players who were a total loss to them this season and at the same time get one of the best “money pitchers” in the game. Wilson batted only .261 this season and Teachout won only 1 game and lost 2. Grimes gave no indication during the 1931 season or world series that he was nearing the end of his checkered career. He won 17 games and lost 9, this year and won two world series games, the third and seventh, the last one deciding the series. When Grimes dons a Cubs’ uniform he will have played for every National League club except Cincinnati and Philadelphia. Why Grimes has been bartered from club to club and pitching winning baseball for all of them is one of the National League’s most perplexing hysteries. His all-time major league record shows 329 victories and 189 defeats.

A capacity crowd is assured with a resultant contribution of approximately $400,000 for charity. Saturday’s clash is the second in succession between the two service academies for the benefit of charity. Aside from the clash for supremacy at football the colorful feature of the event will be the attendance of the midshipmen and the cadet3 with bands, banners and mascots. Rated off the records, Army appears to have a big advantage over its ancient rival, but navy’s fine showing against Pennsylvania last week and past performances in the service team tilt which prove the midshipmen always are tough at the objective stage of the season, may hold the odds down to even money.
