B y Eddie Ash Comedian Backs His Hobby With Coin a a m Some Public Sport Marriages Endure • * • Famous Fly Chaser Has Close Call

will I>e first to refer to the Kansas City Blues as the “Übangis”, now that “You Said a Mouthful” Joe E. Brown, the film comedian, has become part club owner? We are afraid Joe’s canyon mouth will pucker some if that attendance down there doesn't show a pick-up the coming season. Gate receipts hit anew low in Kawtown last year and helped put one of that city’s wealthiest men of former days, George E. Muehlebach, right up against the financial buzz saw. Other enterprises, of course, probably smacked him harder than baseball, modern and immense hotel, real estate and the usual investments that the average well-to-do man tackles. At one time Kansas City was labeled the best minor league city in the country and still holds the American Association record for one year's attendance. 430.000, as well as the single day mark, 28,000. Muehlebach's first jolt was struck by prohibition that closed his brewery and all the sidelines that went with it. Ke dismantled the plant later and sold the machinery and will be unable to take up where prohibition cut him off if beer comes back. Lee Keyser, Tris Speaker and Joe E. Brown may be smart enough to put the K. C. ball club back on its feet. Keyser is a hustler and a practical business man. Speaker knows the playing end and baseball is Brown's hobby. Joe is a former league player and will be on hand with his funny stuff at the 1933 opener in Kawtown. Indianapolis probably will see him during one of the three visits the Blues will make to Perry stadium this year. Joe has attended many big league games and world series tilts and always has given the customers some sideshow entertainment. He has : sponsored a semi-pro team in Los Angeles for several years and each spring and fall takes an active part in old-timers’ games on the coast. : .Joe played third base for Jack Hendricks at Denver about twenty years ago. B M B B B B NOT ALL ARENA WEDDINGS ARE FAILURES JIMMY M'LEMORE, local wrestling and boxing impresario, has a penchant for marrying athletes in the ring. Johnny i Swede) Carlin, Merle Dolby, Art Craig and McLemore’s matchmaker, Jay Gardner, are included among those who have taken their matrimonial vows within the roped arena. The appearance here tonight of Joe Parelli, the Italian grappler. j recalled to the local promoter his first ring wedding event. It occurred about seven years ago in Dallas, when McLemore was promoting wrestling in the Texas city. Parelli at the time was noted as a “man-about-town." hut after McLemore got him married in the ring Joe settled down, now has three children, and is doing well in business in Dallas as a fish merchant. Carlin, another whose nuptials began in a McLemore ring, will wrestle Parelli at the Armory tonight, Carlin, too, has fared quite well Since his ring ceremony about three years ago. He has two children. Which goes to prove nothing, except that all public weddings, condemned generally, are sometimes lasting. nun nun SPILL OF AVERILL HAS LUCKY ENDING C CLEVELAND'S great outfielder. Earl Averill, picked for the center A field post on the majority of all-star big league teams the past two years, had a narrow escape in the northwest a couple of weeks ago. Earl's auto turned' over, went off the road and tumbled down an embankment. He managed to crawl out of the wreckage with only miner hurts. Averill represents one of the heaviest investments of the Cleveland club. He was purchased for $50,000 and right now is one of the best flv chasers and sluggers in the majors. Cleveland officials are glad that accident is over. HE’LL SIGN FOR°TWO BITS, THIS VETERAN* f EORGE MURRAY, righthander, who used to toss ’em up for Kansas v J city and who was a thorn to the Hocsier Indians in many games, is go ng to receive another chance in fast company. The Chicago White Sox bought him recently and the promotion came out of a clear sky to the 1 veteran. Asa matter of fact many A. A. fans seem to have forgotten there ever was a George Murray. Anyway, he has been toiling down in the hot country, in the Texas League and when the good news was given him he said: "If they send me a contract calling for two bits, I'm going to sign it. Watch my smoke this summer. It’s my last chance in the majors, I know.” He is 30 years old and has had more than his share of injury handicaps for a pitcher, consisting of a broken throwing arm, broken leg and broken finger. B B B B B B JOE CARR, who was appointed baseball missionary to the smaller minor league cities, believes the radio has cut down baseball attendance in the minors. Says Joe: "Fans in cities and towns outside the majors evidently prefer to get big league baseball free over the air rather |han pay to see the local boys perform.” The trouble, Joe, is the boys fometimrs get, parked in a speakeasy on ttvffr way to the home-town game and take their baseball out of the loud speaker while sitting in rocking chairs passing the can around. B B B B B B Guess its about time to start looking for the first robin. Frank Van Delin, Cleveland groundkeeper, has arrived in New Orleans to begin work on the diamond in preparation for the spring training season of the Forest City Indians. B B B B V B Chuck Klein's hold-over contract will make his pay $17,500 this year, according to Bill Docly, Phillie scribe. It may be the highest salary for 1933 in the National League, says Dooly. Also probably high over all in the Hoosier state. The Governor receives SB,OOO. a B B B B B Sleepy Jim Crowley will receive SII,OOO as head grid coach at Fordham university, and his contract is for three years. It wasn’t so many yshrs ago, when Jim was at Notre Dame, that he was lucky to have one Shirt. About all he could afford for his room was a worn table, a couple of ancient chairs and a squeaky cot. Good boy, Jim! 808 BUB SWITCHING from big money talk and of athletes riding a wave of prosperity during a depression that has touched millions a dispatch picked out ct the United Press reports illustrates the twists of fate. A minor league baseball club saved the body of a former major league player from a grave in Potter’s field. Thursday. The former big leaguer, Don Marion, onct- a pitcher with Brooklyn, died penniless. Officials of the Milwaukee Brewers contributed money to bury him. Marion played with Milwaukee before he advanced to the majors.

There has been much comment here, there and elsewhere this season about the goings-on at Richmond. Last Saturday, a Richmond fan tossed four overripe eggs at a couple of referees.
