By Eddie Ash Ruth Tops O’Doul In Power at Plate m m m Paris Fight of 1914 Back In News mam Far West Loop Reported In Bad Way
V\/’E believe the big league writers muffed one when they picked that all-star major team for Sporting News and left off Babe Ruth. We agree that Chuck Klein was entitled to right field and Earl Averill to center, but for left field we would place the Sultan of Swat instead of Lefty O’Doul. The Babe alternates between left and right during the regular campaign “to beat the sun.’’ The Babe is a born leader to touch off an attack and possesses a winning spirit that quickly spreads to his mates. It's been a feature of his career and the Yankees seldom lose a game when he has his eye on the norschide. Ruth will be 39 this month, but O'Doul is no spring chicken and will be 35 when the 1933 campaign rolls around. Last year O Doul batted .268 in 148 games and collected 32 doubles, 8 triples. 21 home runs and batted in 90 runs. The Babe batted .341 in 132 games and collected 13 doubles, 5 triples, 41 home runs and batted in 137 runs. O'Doul drew 60 walks and Ruth 130, and Lefty fanned 20 times and Babe 62. The slugging figures prove that the Bambino was the same old powerhouse. In addition to batting in 137 runs he scored 120 himself, the same number carried over the plate by O'Doul. However, the difference in “runs batted in” was 47 in the Babes favor From a fielding angle, Ruth had 209 putouts, 10 assists and 9 errors, and O'Doul had 317 putouts, 4 assists and 7 errors. Perhaps the big league scribes gave the berth to O’Doul on fielding, but its always been this writer's opinion that Lefty's reputation as a fly chaser was not Maybe there's a conspiracy under wav to compel Ruth to admit hes an “old man." First he is asked to take a 33 1-3 per cent salary cut of $25,030, and next he is left out of the all-star lineup for the first time since its inception. , .. . The Babe had a boost for Hoosier Chuck Klein the other day. He said: ‘Klein is young and strong and smart. He’s a great hitter ana fielder and he's fast. I saw him play only once, but you don't have to look at a fellow like him forever to know he's a great ball player. He showed me plenty.” a a a a a a UNPAID FOR TWENTY ROUNDS OF FIGHTING JACK .JOHNSON and Prank Moran battled twenty hard rounds in Paris in June of 1914 and weren’t paid off. The purse was attached and the money eventually was placed in the Bank of France. Old Jack is in Paris now trying to obtain the earnings of nineteen years ago. According to Johnson, who won the decision, the purse amounts to about SIOO,OOO now if interest is added to the original sum of $25,000. Jack was world’s heavyweight champion at the time and was wanted by Uncle Sam's John Laws. The purse got tied up in court and the World war broke shortly afterward and the French legal sharps had no time to pass judgment on boxing matters. More than that, the French were suggesting that Johnson join the army and he hopped in his fast machine arid dashed across the frontier into Spain. The big fellow remained out of France until recently. Charles McCarthy, theatrical promoter, now dead, plastered on the box office attachment. He claimed there was a plan afoot to double-cross him on a 5 per cent cut that had been guaranteed for being of some important service during the preliminary arrangements for the scrap. McCarthy was always bitter toward Johnson and sw'ore he never would allow the purse to be released. He remained obdurate after the war, when attempts were made to do something about it. He died in 1925 and it is said his w'idow is willing that the courts dispose of the case and allow' her the share claimed by her husband. tt tt tt tt tt tt SAYS ( OAST LEAGUE NEARLY CRASHED npKE San Francisco News is authority for the statement that the I Pacific Coast League, Class AA. wanted to throw up the sponge last season after July 4, but the magnates changed their minds and went through with the punishment of poor attendance when Judge Landis ruled all players w'ould become free agents if gates were closed. It seems the club owners wanted to ‘‘shut up shop” but still retain title 'o players for the 1933 campaign and rather than lose the athletes, the rlub chiefs voted to finish out the schedule. This winter the Pacific coast loop refused to join the American Association in adopting a universal Class AA salary limit, but if the San Francisco News has the right dope on the 1932 near-crash of the league, it can be taken for granted pay checks won’t be in healthy figures out that way this year. It is said few of the coast magnates can stand the strain of another bad season. I' is reported salaries will range between S2OO and $350 a month and that the player w'ho gets S4OO or more will be an outstanding star. n u tt a a a IT seems the White Sox have another Art Shires on their roster. He is C’arcnce 'Rube) Ficber. young southpaw, a oean poie, 6 feet 4 inches. He was optioned to Oakland last year and showed up out there carrying the word he was told the Oaks needed help and had been sent to fix things up. The Oaks took him at his word and used him in thirty-three games. The Rube's mound record wasn’t hot with the seventh-place club, winning eight and losing eleven, but he managed to bat .345. The rookie was recalled by the Sox and the other day remarked that “when Manager Fonseca hasn't got me in their pitching he can always stick me out there with A1 Simmons and Mule Haas.” a a a a a It was announced officially in Cincinnati Tuesday that Jewel Ens will be coach and assistant under Manager Ownie Bush of the Reds. Fns. a former infielder, was coach at Pittsburgh when Bush was Pirate pilot Later, Ens managed the Bucs and last year was coach under Bucky Harris at Detroit. a a a a The home golf club of Gene Sarazen, world's champion, where he is instructor.

Rookie Cage Stars Shine for Indiana U.
' 1 . v ; Jpl % mm:. * \ '
OOPHOMOEES are carrying the burden of Indiana university's cage campaign. C/ One of the Big Ten's outstanding sophomore stars is Jack Heavenridge (left), brilliant rookie floorguard and leading Crimson scorer who performed with the championship Washington high school team of a few seasons ago. Another promising recruit is Campbell (right), former Logansport sharpshooter, who has been working at forward for the Crimson. Henry (center), is the third promising sophomore prospect with the Hoosiers. He plays both guard and forward and has seen action in every game in a reserve role. These three pastimers will see service in a tilt tonight at Bloomington, when the Deanmen renew activities after a two week’s lay-off, opposing the Fals of Mexico City.
The record attempts probably will be made between Feb. 8 and 20 over a wider beach than has ever been offered here before. Between these dates the full moon causes the lowest tides, leaving more beach space, and northeasters will pound the beach hard. The attempts will be made at low tide, between noon and 4 p. m. the course will vary in width from 300 to 500 feet, stretching north and south like smooth white pavement. Moisture from the sand eliminates largely the hazard of ripping tires. That's the reason why Daytona Beach is preferred to dry inland stretches in Europe and Africa.

Godfrey weighed 257 and Fox 181. and the .latter spent most of the night in close to his burly opponent, with an occasional splurge when he cut loose with long right-hand “curves.” The best round

for the Tiger was the tenth and last, but it was too late then for the Hoosier to catch up. Godfrey displayed more movement of foot than a man of his bulk usually possesses, and he was not backward about wading in. However, the bout as a whole failed to measure up to expectations. A nearcapacity crowd was on hand. Rosy i Kid i Baker. Anderson middleweight. had it easy in the scheduled tenround semi-windup and knocked out Frank Detlaff. Cincinnati, in the second round with a couple of’body punches that carried dynamite. It took some time to revive the * Queen City pug. Detlaff was floored in the first stanza with a hard right to the jaw and barely was able to beat the count. Lerov Gibson. Terre Haute Negro featherweight, and Pete Leno, Cincinnati, supplied the best action of the evening in six rounds of glove throwing. The fans were well-entertained by this scrap that was fast and furious from the outset to the closing bell. The boys threw punches nearly every second of the route. The affair was called a draw, but The Times thought Gibson was entitled to a shade. Tonv Brown. Indianapolis heavyweight, flattened Andy Newell. Anderson Negro, in the third round. Body thumping turned the tide for the winner. Packy Gardner, Indianapolis heavyweight. was off form but managed to beat Andy White. Indianapolis Negro, in a fourrounder.
