By Eddie Ash Babe Ruth to Select All-Time Team mm m ‘Bam’ Will Broadcast Tomorrow Night

gABE RI'TH plans to pick his all-star mythical all-Amer-ica baseball nine tomorrow nig'ht at a dinner to be jpven by the Bambino in New York. This column conductor was invited to attend the banquet, but will be unable to make the trip east. Three days of frenzied stove league sessions at Chicago this week will be enough for some time to come. Baseball magnates, managers and scribes do a complete job of it when they get together, and the guess is that Babe Ruth’s party will be along similar lines. Ruth has been picking all-big league teams since 1922, and the team he will announce tomorrow night will be chosen from the players who have been named annually by the Babe and his all-America board of baseball, headed by Christy Walsh. Ruth says this party at the New York Athletic Club will be one of the most unique affairs of its kind. Ten big league baseball writers are members of Ruth’s board. u a tt u n a THE windup of the Ruth party will go on a coast-to-coast radio hookup over the Columbia broadcasting system at 11 p. m. central time. Ted Husing will describe the novelties and amusing stunts of the evening and will introduce Christy Walsh, who in turn will present the celebrities on hand, including Ruth; Lou Little, football coach; Harry Kipke, grid coach; Lou Gehrig, Jimmy Fox and others. Many famous diamond pastimers have been selected on Babe Ruth’s annual team and it will be interesting to look over the lineup he names. Ruth invites baseball fans throughout the country to tune in on his program. He promises to dish out some real entertainment, and the big fellow usually makes good on his promises. He borrowed a player’s uniform from each of the sixteen major league clubs and will dress his waiters in the “monkey suits.” When the Babe is at his best, he's good. m n a an it INDIANAPOLIS fans will feel that Chuck Klein, the Hoosier slugger, will stand an excellent chance of being named on Ruth’s twelve-year all-time team. The Babe will pick ten players, naming two pitchers. Klein has been a “regular - on the Babe's clubs in the last few years. Going twelve years back, however, many stars will be found for each position, and Babe is sure to be puzzled, especially at first base, on the mound and in the outfield. He will not include himself as a candidate. a a a a a A VICTIM of the stock market crash, high-salaried players and poor attendance, Connie Mack, at 72, is starting over again and will rebuild the Philadelphia Athletics. He started unloading the pay roll wreckers in the fall of 1932, when he sold A1 Simmons, Jimmy Dykes and Mule Haas. Now Grove, Walberg, Earnshaw. Cochrane and Bishop have been sold for big money. These deals brought Connie $395,000, but he made a few' purchases himself the last two years, giving $25,000 each for pitchers Claset and Freitas, $25,000 for pitcher Moose Marcum and $15,000 for outfielder Ray Radcliff. The first two named failed to make the grade, and Marcum and Radcliff will receive trials next season Tom Yaw'key, wealthy owner of the Boston Red Sox, has given up $380,000 for players within the last year. He is determined to put a winner in Beantow'n. Putting out the money doesn’t always bring pennants, however. The Yankees tried it and went from 1915 to 1921 before cashing in with the title. Cleveland threw a fortune into the game and has not been on the top since 1920.

Logansport, ind., Dec. 16. playing an almost flawless floor game and sniping a third of their basket attempts, Cliffs’ Red and Black Logansport high school cag-. ers snatched the lead in the North Central Conierence net campaign here last night with a 31 to 16 victory over a hitherto undefeated Tech five from Indianapolis. The Green and White team came up without Johnny Townsend, who is suffering with an infection of a cut above the eye he suffered a week ago at Muncie. Although Townsend’s absence slackened the Tech offense greatly, it still would have taken something of a miracle, had he been in the tilt, to have stopped the Loganberries last night. Their fast blocking plays coming from the famed merry-go-round passing maneuver in front of the Tech defense were a problem for which Tim Campbell’s lads didn’t have the answer, and Wells had built up a buncket defense around Tech's familiar pivot play that kept the Green and White cagers out of dangerous territory throughout the tilt. n a u TECH drew first blood when Hair slipped under for a field goal in th efirst seconds of the game, but Logansport came back with their circling pass attack and Smith, Insley, Clay and Horstman boosted the Red and Black count to twelve points before Pagach looped one from outside the free throw zone. At the quarter the count was 15 to 4. The Loganberries ran up five points more in the second quarter, while Hutt and Woerner each added a single point on free throws. At halftime the score was 20 to 6. The Logansport assault piled the count to 26 in the third period, while Hutt scored one free toss, and then Campbell relieved Fais and Hutt with Dobbs and Garten. Previously the Tech offense had been listless. The newcomers speeded into the tilt and for the first time in the contest the Green and White cagers really worked. Pabach and Hair looped field goals, and Pagach scored again before Logansport called time out. Smith added three points on a field bucket and

Bears, Giants to Battle for Pro Gridiron Crown

League Officials Assemble in Chicago for Conference on Eve of Titie Game: Western Division Champs Are Favored to Take Contest. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 16.—Professional football has “arrived” as a major American sports attraction, Joseph F. Carr, president of the National Professional Football League, said today. Carr and other officials of the league were here to discuss rule changes, the 1934 schedule and to attend the playoff tomorrow between the Chicago Bears, western division champions, and the New York Giants, winners in the eastern division, for the league championship.

“Professional football has been conducted upon a high plane of sportsmanship and has increased each year in popularity," Carr said. “This year pro football drew the largest crowds in its history.” Officials figures were not available, but it was estimated that approximately 750.000 persons, or an average of about 13,000 per game, paid to see the ten teams in the league play fifty-seven games. The Bears will be 7 to 5 favorites to retain the championship they won last year, when they meet the Giants at Wrigley field tomorrow. Given favorable weather the game was expected to attract 30,000 spectators. The Giants finished the regular season with a record of ten victories and three defeats. The Bears won ten games, lost two and tied one. The teams met twice during the season, the Bears winning, 14 to 10, at Chicago, and the Giants, 3 to 0, at New York. Football stars who won fame at colleges will be playing tomorrow for the “gate.” League rules provide that receipts be split four ways. The players will receive 60 per cent, each club 15 per cent and the league 10 per cent. Os the players’ pool 60 per cent will go to the winner, and 40 per cent to the loser. The final contingent of Giant stars, led by Bo Molenda and Harry Newman, both former Michigan university stars, arrived yesterday and engaged in a brisk drill. Football critics rate the two teams a” the best in the country, professional or collegiate. Newman is a greatly improved player over his college days, when he was rated as one of the best passers and kickers in the game. He has been the mainspring of the New York team’s offense. The Bears’ back field probably will be composed of Keith Molesworth, a great kicker; Bronko Nagurski, the team’s chief ground gainer; Jack Manders and Carl Brumbaugh. “Red" Grange, the “galloping ghost” of Illinois, probably will play also. Butler Ready to Quit Loop Butler university officials have definitely decided to withdraw from the Missouri Valley conference at the end of the present school year, it was reliably reported yesterday. Rumors that the school would withdraw were substantiated recently when Butler scheduled only one Missouri Valley conference football team next fall. Butler has been a member of the conference only two years but the venture has proved a financial loss. The Bulldog football teams were not strong enough for other members of the league while its basketball teams were too superior. Buter won the Missouri Valley conference basketball championship last year and is a favorite to repeat this year. HIROSHI SAITO NAMED AMBASSADOR TO U. S.

C. wrestling card Tuesday night at the Armory. According to Matchmaker Lloyd Carter, the 225-pound O'Shocker accepted the Zaharias tussle after four other heavyweight prominents, including Jim McMillen and Gino Garibaldi, turned it down.

Dec. 16.—Tony Canzoneri, former lightweight champion, today had climbed the comeback trail to a point w'here he could demand another crack at Barney Ross’ title. Tony passed a formidable obstacle last night when he won a ten-round decision over the European champion, Cleta Locatelli of Italy, before 8,000 fans at Madison Square Garden. It was Locatelli’s American debut. Tony won seven of the ten rounds last night, but was unable to knock out the visitor. He rained blows on Locatelli’s granite jaw, smeared his face with blood and pounded him in the body, but the European champion continued to slug. Only once did Tony come close to a knockout. He landed a stiff left hook to his opponent’s jaw in the tenth round. Locatelli reeled across the ring, but bounced off the ropes into a clinch. He held on until his brain cleared.
