By Eddie Ash What Jimmy Foxx Needs Is a “Public” # # # Red Sox Rookie Has “Career Problem” # # # Babe Learns About Real Female Pros

TT is evident somebody connected with the Philadelphia Athletics has decided to influence Jimmy Foxx to sell himself to the public. The stalwart slugger is of the quiet type and his “draw” at the gate falls far short of the “crowd appeal” attached to other players whom Jimmy outclasses in the mechanics of baseball, chiefly slugging. Foxx smashed out fifty-eight home runs last year and was voted “most valuable ' player in the American League. He wrecked a lot of pitchers and a lot of fences and was the king pin of the season for parking the ball over the barriers. Seldom, how'ever, was he able to monopolize the interest of the fans. Jimmy never has u’orkcd up a “public.” He has lacked the “color” that wows the rooters despite a marvelous run of distance hitting. He has not permitted himself to be quoted enough in interviews. Signs of the awakening of Foxx are at hand. He is getting rich wages and will be working thus year on a holdover contract and will not be involved in holdout controversies. First indication that the bellows will be put to Jimmy's prestige were noted in a dispatch out of the east Monday night. Foxx said: ‘‘l'll be aiming for Babe Ruth’s record. Sixty home runs are a lot of homers in one season and that's what Ruth poled to set the record. However, I don’t think the mark is impossible to break. I plan to go south in about two weeks and start early training with the idea in mind of getting away to a swift beginning.” Well said, Jimmy. Dive right into that old conversation league and keep your name in print. Lefthanded hitters such as Ruth, Gehrig, Klein and others hold an advantage over Foxx on account of the preponderance of short right field fences in ball parks. Jimmy swings righthanded and makes his home runs the “hard way.” tt it a tt tt a QUINN CURBS AMBITIOUS C OLLEGIAN ONE of the most promising infield rookie collegians ever to join the “modern" Boston Red Sox is confronted with the problem of either taking a chance on trying to become one of baseball’s greats or finishing a medical course and trying to become a great physician. He is Andy Spognardi, former Boston college star and captain, who played a bit for the Sox last season. During his short time in action the kid hit .294 in seventeen games and fielded in good style. But. Andy wants to be a doctor and a ball player at the same time. He had a pian recently which he revealed to Bob Quinn, Sox prexy. Instead of making the training trip south with his team, “Spog” wanted to remain in Boston, continue his medical course, and do his baseball training on a diamond near his home. After school is out in June, Andy then would join the team. Quinn, however, wouldn’t agree to the plan. “I would want Spognardi to do whatever he thinks will be best for him, but I told him that he could not be of any use if he waited until June, although I would get him a job at that time if he decided to stay with his studies,” he said. Spognardi bats righthanded. He got ten hits in the few times he faced big league pitching in 1932 and one of his blows was a double. He scored nine runs, batted in one and drew six walks. That’s fair enough for a lad fresh off the campus. tt tt tt a tt a ‘WONDER GIRL’ IS IN NARROW FIELD BABE DIDRIKSON’S manager will have a tough time explaining to Babe and her friends how he happened to fall for that pocket billiard match the other day. He sent her in against Ruth McGinnis, the Pennsylvania cue wizard, and Ruth proceeded to show the “wonder girl” something about professional life. The score was 400 to 62. Mr; Loretta McCutchcon will be another feminine champ crossed off the Didrikson challenge list. Mrs. McCutcheon knocks down ten pins for a living and now and then tosses a 300 score to scare away any upstarts seeking her title. Then there are the professional rodeo queens, the broncho busting females of the saddle, and Helene Madison, the stalwart mermaid, all pros and super stars. All of which puts Miss Didrikson in a narrow field, limited practically to basketball and track sports except profit to be gained by advertising angles. It seems as though Babe jumped the gun when she left the amateurs during the low point of the depression. Barnstorming about the country becomes a lot of punishment in time. a o a tt tt tt STRETCH MURPHY of Old Purdue scored twenty-eight points against the Chicago basketball team in 1928. Joe ReifT. Northwestern, scored twenty-nine points against Chicago last Saturday. Do we hear thirty? Anyway, Don White, also of Purdue, scored twenty-nine points against Ohio State in 1929, thus putting Rciff in a tie with the old Lebanon flash. White’s total consisted of eleven field goals and seven from the foul stripe. Rciff dropped in nine baskets from the floor and eleven free throws. tt a tt tt tt o Tommy Marvin, the wrestler who was tossed by Jumping Joe Savoldi here Monday, used to be a boxer and helped establish Young Stribling as tjie “King of the Canebrakes Marvin fought Stribling seven times. a a o tt tt After reading “unemployed now estimated at 12,000.000"—the average baseball star is apt to knock down the mail man in his haste to receive his contract and sign it. Most of the holdout talk this spring will be just so much wind. tt a a tt tt a A decade or so ago. when Connie Mack was trying to rebuild the Athletics he grabbed raw rookies of all sorts in an effort to develop some worthwhile talent. Players always were coining and going. Jimmy Dykes, now of (he White Sox, was a member of the White Elephants at the time and says in one season in the space of three weeks he had seven different room mates.

‘Hoosier Hildie’ Eager for New Season to Start

ndianapolis pitcher turned in a

THE 1933 baseball .season can not open soon enough for Oral Hildebrand, the slender righthander who is calculated to become one of the top flight hurlers of the big leagues. The former Indianapolis pitcher turned in a neat job of mound pastiming with the Cleveland Americans last year and major league observers have stamped him as one of the most promising of the younger crop of hurlers working on the big line. The Hoosier developed rapidly in 1932 after striking his stride and exhibited so much talent a half dozen rival teams tried to snare him in deals this winter only to be advised by Cleveland he wasn't for sale at any price. Billy Evans. Cleveland general manager, and Roger Peckinpaugh, field pilot, have reached the decision Hildebrand is a gem. an tt SINCE leaving Indianapolis, Hildebrand has developed a sharp curve and deceptive change of pace to add to his whistling fast one. In 1932 he won eight games and lost six, but demonstrated belter effectiveness than his won and lost record showed by landing in a tie for ninth place in earned run efficiency. His mark was 3.70, the same as posted by Johnny Allen, sensational New York Yankee youth. Moreover, Hildebrand proved his courage by doing his best work against the first division clubs and one of his brilliant feats was to strike out the Philadelphia Athletic slugger, Jimmy Foxx, twice in the same game with the bases loaded. tt B tt HILDEBRAND lives in Greenwood. Ind. He was an allround athletic star at Southport high school and Butler university before taking up league ball with Indianapolis. Local fans will recall some great battles at old Washington park between Hildebrand and Lefty Gomez when Hildie tossed 'em up for the Hoosiers and Lefty fired ’em off the mound for St. Paul. Oral had that thing called “color” when a member of the Hoosier Indians and there always was an increase in gate figures when it was his turn to pitch. The pictures shown above were taken by The Times staff photographer at the Hildebrand home in Greenwood, the other day. Barbara Jean, nine months, got the “sun grins” in the bright light and closed her pretty eyes as the camera clicked.

Babe Figures He’s Being Used as "Come on Guy" to Induce Other Players to Take Salary Cuts

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent TKTEW YORK, Jan. 18.—Babe Ruth, whose prowess boosted baseball salaries to unprecedented heights, apparently has been singled out by major league club owners to lead players back to lower pay checks. They’ve hung baseball’s biggest salary reduction about his neck and started him off at the head of the procession. That’s why the Babe is fuming angrily over this $25,000 slash the New York Yankees have offered him on a one-year contract for 1933. He doesn’t relish being used as a ”come-on guy” who might induce fellow players to accept lower wages. Ruth is not worried about his own salary this season. He admitted that point-blank during a chat at his apartment. He knows the Yanks can’t advantageously go through with the $50,000 contract they’ve offered him in place of the $75,000 for 1932. But he doesn’t like to see this proposed $25,000 cut used as a club to bludgeon other players into accepting depression salaries. a a a THE Babe would not discuss this phase of the contract business, but close friends were not backward in revealing his feelings about it. In previous years he has taken the annual salary tilt good-naturedly—-“a lot of fun and good publicity.” But this time he feels he's being shoved into an unsportsmanlike role. This feeling cropped out when he admitted openly that he was “mighty sore” at Ed Barrow, the club's business manager. He believes Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yanks, had no part in the plan and harbors no resentment against him. He declared he wouldn’t dicker with Barrow over the contract, and that further negotiations must come directly from Ruppert. But he wants the matter settled quickly. He doesn’t want to be stalled off until March 1, giving the various club owners time to threaten players by saying "You’d better slap your John Hancock on the dotted

line—look what they’re doing to Ruth.” # # # ALTHOUGH he’ll be 39 in February, and can’t be as spry in the field as in former seasons, the Bambino is shrewd enough to know he’s still the greatest drawing card in baseball, and that the Yanks could pay him $100,000 the season and still make money on him. “Sure, times are tough,” the big brown-haired fellow said, flicking

Pirrone Beats Baker and Brown Outpoints Zorilla

A big advantage in the infighting and a crushing body attack gave Paul Pirrone, young Cleveland middleweight, a ten-round triumph over Rosy tKid) Baker of Anderson in the top ten-round scrap at the Armory Tuesday night. Pierome walloped Baker’s body with a hard right, while the Hoosier was unable to connect and swung many wild punches. Rosy rallied in the tenth stanza and almost checked the Buckeye battler. Willard Brown, local 140-pounder, used superior height and reach to make a punching bag out of Santiago Zorilla’s head, but the veteran Indian absorbed every punch Brown could toss and stayed ten rounds. Brown got the decision, but Zorilla was forced to make the fight. Willard kept his snaky left in Zorilla’s face all the time, and shot a hard right cross, but the Panama pug kept boring in. One punch was all Jackie Davis, Chicago featherweight, needed to stop veteran Jackie Reynolds of Muncie in the first round. It was a hard right to the whiskers. In the opening four rounder. Ted Remy and Jimmy Shannon put on a pleasing olugfest for the fans which the officials called a draw.
