By Eddie Asin Averages Give Sigafoos Strong Rating m m m French Ring Boss Switches to Irishman m m m Davis Protects Favorite War Bludgeon

V\/'ITII Frank Sigafoos, regular infielder, back in the Tribe fold for 1933, Manager Red Killefer believes the holdout situation is easing up and now feels sure other regulars will fall in line rapidly as reporting time for spring training nears. Sigafoos is slated to guard third base this year. "Siggie” was the Hoosirrs' keysione saeker last season, and though at times he was criticised for slow fielding, the American Association official averages reward him with a high rating on figures alone. He hit the sphere for an average of .313, scored 105 runs and hatted in 77. Frank collected 199 hits in 163 games and his safe wallops included 29 doubles,. 11 triples and 10 home runs. He pilfered 14 bases and lad ’ i sacrifice hits. All of which is fair enough for an infielder from the standpoint of the attack. Sigafoos' fielding average was .980, which was high among regular second basemen. Connolly was the lone keystone rival to top Frank in putouts, 440 to 422, but in assists, where swift ground covering is necessary, several second sackers topped him. Turgeon, Toledo, was high in assists, with 550. Connolly of Milwaukee had 530; Jeffries of St. Paul, 525, and Sigafoos and Whitehead of Columbus finished even with 488. The Hoosier veteran took part in 99 double plays, which was third high for regulars in his position. Jefferies participated in 130 and Connolly in 106. Official 1932 statistics credit Sigafoos with ten games at third base, showing 9 putouts, 27 assists, 3 errors and participation in four twin killings. The Indians, as a whole, fell down on double plays, and were sixth with a total of 145 for the team. St. Paul was high over all with 205, and other clubs finished as follows: Milwaukee, 174; Minneapolis, 166; Toledo. 161; Columbus, 150; Louisville, 141, and Kansas City 133. Another 1932 Indian to accept terms for the new season is Stewart Bolen, veteran southpaw pitcher. He signed the new agreement Thursday. Pitcher Lefty Butzberger and Roy White, candidate for the infield, both of whom saw some service with the 1932 Tribesmen, also returned contracts today with terms accepted. Bill Burwell, veteran right-hander, wrote from Florida that he is getting in shape and expects to be on hand at reporting time. He has not signed yet, however. a u a a b DESCAMPS BUILDS ANOTHER RING HOPE F FRANCOIS DESCAMPS, once was ballyhooed for his hypnotic eye fame, but his reputation was lost when Jack Dempsey paid no attention to the bunk about the “destructive lamp” and went right ahead and knocked out Descamps' Georges Carpentier. That was several years ago. Well, Descamps now is trying to develop anew meal ticket but has picked up a wild Irishman this time instead of a perfumed Frenchman. The new stalwart's name is Jack Doyle, 19-year-old Dublin heavyweight, and Descamps is training him in animal fashion. It is said Doyle virtually is a prisoner in Francois’ camp at Le Guerche, a rural community in France. A United Press correspondent obtained an interview with Manager Descamps and the crafty fistic ringmaster said, in part: “I keep Doyle a ‘prisoner’ because it is the only way to teach him. He has to be trained like a lion. From dawn to dusk, from week to week, he sees nothing but this bunch of hard-hitting pugilists you see around you. They are tough babies. "Some of the future champions of France are among them, as well as some of the oldest ling generals. Jack has one trouble in common with Carpentier, a delicate jaw. Georges had a glass chin and Doyle has a soft one too, but I’ll teach him to protect it.” It is reported the French ring wizard admitted that, of the hundreds of fighters who have passed through his hands, only two have been allowed to share his home with him; the adonis, Carpentier, and Jack Doyle.

WHERE GEORGE GOES HIS BAT GOES ALONG GEORGE DAVIS is one ball player who guards his pet bat the same as his pocketbook. The former St. Paul fly chaser now with the Giants, held the favorite stick in his paw when he boarded the train for the Los Angeles training camp. Evidently George fondled the bludgeon all winter during the off-season. On the way 'cross country Davis flourished the weapon in the Pullman and practiced swinging at an imaginary horsehide. Arriving in the west George declined to park the bat at Wrigley field with the other club lumber and he totes it back and forth each day between the team's hotel and the ball park. Once, in the southland, there was a big and awkward rookie pitcher trying out with the Indians. He was used in a practice game <?ne day and when his turn to hit arrived the regulars grabbed their pet sticks or kicked ’em out of reach. Walter Rehg, outfielder, slipped his club under the Tribe bench, but the rookie spotted ilie end sticking out and had it in his possession before Walter could interfere. Rehg was in a cold sweat as the husky and green Hoosier stepped to the plate, but fortunately the bat was not broken and thereafter Walter was its watchdog. B B B B B B JOE STECHER, the rassler, and former champ, perfected the scissors hold down on the farm. He practiced on sacks of oats. Now Jim Browning comes along and tells how he developed his legs for the scissors grip by wrapping the underpinning around barrels. Originally, Jim was a farmer, too. The scissors nowadays, therefore, is mightier than the plow. Don't be surprised if anew giant rassler shows up some day attributing his leg strength as a result of wrapping his shins around a silo. a B B , B B B THE nearest salary approach to Babe Ruth that collegiate football can offer is Wallace Wade, coach at Duke university. Wade is working on a five-year contract for SIOO,OOO. His fee increased from year to year over the period—sls,ooo first year, $12,000 second year, and so on. Duke is endowed by a tobacco fortune and SIOO,OOO was placed in the bank several years ago to be drawn upon only for the football coach's salary. Signals! tt tt a st it tt Hal Schumacher, Giants’ hurler, hit a home run during a practice tilt and was kidded into believing he might be a second Babe Ruth. Hal was assigned to center field where he lost the game for his side by muffing nearly everything that was offered. B B B B B B Johnny Gill, veteran Pennsylvania middleweight boxer, also is a marathon dancer. He danced 243 days last year and ten rounds in the ring is like relaxing for him, except when he is on the receiving end of the gloves. tt tt U B B B ECENTLY Mike Kelley, manager of the champion Millers, received -IV a long distance call from Cincinnati and at first he thought it was Owner Sidney Weil of the Reds calling to offer him a player or to buyone of the Millers. It was the ancient Rube Benton wanting to know the whereabouts of his 1933 contract. Kelley had overlooked mailing the papers.

You Can’t Keep Colorful Hagen’s Name Out of Print

BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Telegram Sport* Editor NEW YORK. March 3.—You can't keep that fellow Walter Hagen's name out of the headlines. Though he has been little more than a ghost of the champion ho used to be for some time, he has ‘been named captain of the Ryder cup team. This is a band of professional golfers who annually compete with Great Britain for the international championship Up to the time the announcement was made, it wasn't known whether Hagen was going to England this year as a tourist. A Ryder cup man or a debt collector. That he has been named captain of the team Is a flattering stirprise. Or a surprising flattery. In any case, it is a deserved tribute to one of the great names of golf. In some respects, Hagen is a greater figure in golf than Bobby Jones. From the start, he never had the- well-rounded game that Jones aid, but he managed to win

Other Brller winners were Elzer in the shotput and Boaz in the twomile run. Jones in the pole vault, and McQueen in the quarter-mile were other Purdue winners, while W. Cosgrove of Butler and Fulin of Purdue tied in the high jump. Crossman, H. Sears, Miller and McQueen composed Purdue's relayteam. GROYE CLl'B TO MEET South Grove Golf Chib will hold its first meeting of the year tonight at 7:20 at the clubhouse. All members are asked to attend. Kenneth Holy is club president.

almost as often—and generally he won with a dash and a flourish that made him stand out as the master dramatist of the sport. Hagen's championship days have long since been behind him. The last time he won the American open was in 1919, when he tied with Mike Brady and beat the Winged Foot pro in the play off. That was the historic tournament when Hagen came up to the final green to sink a putt that would tie or lose for him. a a a T TNTIL recently he used to make a habit of winning the British open. It became so much of a habit that some of the English newspapers began referring to the event as the "Walter Hagen open." Year after year he would be thrown back in the American open But just as often he would go abroad, frequently facing even stronger-npposition, and win. I recall u ~sher boys of Detroit gave

Fla., March 3. —Gene Sarazen’s six-inch putting cup was slated for its first formal test today in the Florida Year Round Club $5,000 open, despite frowns from the U. S. G. A. and the P. G. A. No official action will be taken against the departure from the official four-inch cup. Sarazen, British and American open champion, was the tournament favorite. Paul Runyan, Denny Shute, Walter Hagen and Tommy Armour were others favored to capture the top honors. Among the other outstanding linksmen entered were Billy Burke. Harry Cooper, Johnny Revolta, Willie MacFarlane, Johnny Golden.

Tracy Thumps Out Victory; Hook Drops Close Thriller

Tracy Cox carried too many guns for Jimmy Alvarado, and the local junior welter, appearing in fine condition, galloped off with a tenround point triumph over the Detroit battler at Tomlinson hall Thursday night. Tracy bombarded the Michigan youngster with both hands in the late rounds after Alvarado had held him close in the opening stanzas. His strong finish gave Cox the decision by a wide margin. Weighing 139 Vi pounds, three pounds more than his rival, Cox was at his best. He hammered Alvarado's body and cut his face, but scored only one short-count knockdown, in the fifth round. Both boys mixed freely. Two other lively tens completed Sam Slotsky’s card. Ernie Mauer,

By tHitt rl Press AVALON, Catalina Island, Cal., March 3. Chicago's Cubs Yannigans hung a 6-to-l defeat on the regulars in their first game of the season Thursday. Guy Bush and Buck Newsom limited the regulars to three safe blows in seven innings. Bud Tinning and Beryl Richmond were victims of the Yans’ attack. The Cubs play the New York Giants Saturday and Sunday. tt St tt PASADENA, Cal.. March 3. —Vic Fraser, who was almost a total loss to the Chicago White Sox last year, is back in his 1931 form. Manager Lew Fonseca discovered today. Two years ago. Vic won thirteen games for a last place team, but last year was a victim of malaria and never fully recovered his form. With Clarence Fieber and Carl Boone, Fonseca has three hurlers already in near-top condition. BBS LOS ANGELES, March 3.—8i1l Terry drove his New York Giants through a hard workout today in preparation for Saturday's first exhibition game with the Chicago Cubs at Catalina Island.

him a victory dinner here following his triumph in 1928. and when he got up to make his respects he said: "It is very easy to explain why I can win in England and not in America. The ale over there is much better.” A week before play started in that particular tournament, Hagen had taken the most humiliating defeat in his career. Archie Compston beat him in a special match. 18 up and 17 to go. You can’t be beaten any worse in golf. That's the irreducibe minimum. “What happened to you then?” Hagen was asked. “I had an off day—l was off the ale.” But a week later he came back and won the championship. In those days he always did. That was one of the qualities that distinguished him as the most colorful figure in the annals of gold. In the ornate lexicon of the Rochester Dutchman there was no such phrase as “nine, ten and out.”
