By Eddie Ash Magnates ‘Panned’ for Shunning Babe ' 1 # He Won’t Stay Put as ‘Forgotten Man’

the big league baseball meetings in Chicago last week newspapermen and the few managers who are unafraid to have their say believed they saw an effort on the part of the major club owners to put Babe Ruth in the “forgotten man” class. At any rate, no “Ruth news” was given out, and if his status was discussed the magnates were careful to keep the scribes in the dark. Rogers Hornsby commented: “It is an outrage that Ruth, who has done so much for baseball and who still is a powerful attraction, can not get his chance as a big league manager.” Other managers and writers chimed in with Hornsby and millions of fans think the same way about the cold attitude the owners have taken toward the Babe’s ambitions. A rumor went the rounds that the New York Yankee directors secretly had decided to name the Bambino as pilot of their Newark “farm” club in the International League but were hesitant about disclosing the move. It is said the plan is to make the Newark offer to Ruth on a “take it or leave it” basis and that all other clubs have agreed to keep hands off. The guess is that the Babe won’t take it and will counter with a blast that will make the magnates scream. a u u a a a RUTH is in a position to retire and make the magnates like it. He is fixed for life financially and age has not diminished his popularity with the lads of America. He remains the idol of the small boys while other younger diamond stars go unnoticed. Nobody in baseball has succeeded in matching the Babe at drawing power. Ty Cobb at his peak lacked the crowd appeal that is attached to Ruth. He’s the John L. Sullivan of bastW 11 and has served twenty years in the majors without losing glamour and pulling power. New managers in the American League for 1934 were appointed at Boston and Detroit, and the Babe was shunned even after he announced he was in a receptive mood. Soon you will hear tne Babe's voice by electrical transcription, telling the youth of the land how to play baseball. Sources of information also state that if Ruth is released or retires, he may organize a strong independent club and tour the country and perhaps play exhibitions in Japan and Mexico. The big fellow craves action and the New York Yankees and other big league leaders may find him a tough hombre to side track. a a a a a a PRESSURE is being brought to bear to induce Ruth to accept the post at Newark to test his managerial skill, with the promise that he will be taken care of in the majors if he makes good in the minors. It also is reported the Yankees will make a final effort to sign the Babe at a large reduction in salary with the understanding that he will be listed as reserve outfielder and pinch hitter. In the event the veteran turns down both propositions, watch for the fireworks. a a a a a a ON his recent visit to New York. Primo Camera explained that in his "fight” with Max Baer in the movie, “The Prize Fighter and the Lady,” not one blow was struck. Primo said both missed each swing, but the picture was speeded up to make it look like the blows were landing. Camera also said tha£ both chewed chocolate and let it dribble out of their chops to give the appearance of blood. a a a a a a After Connie Mack sold Lefty Grove, Rube Walberg and Max Bishop to the Red Sox, Mickey Cochrane to the Tigers and George Earnshaw to the White Sox, Cochrane asked Mack if he would sell Frank Higgins to Detroit. Connie replied: "What do you want me to do, Mickey, break up my ball club?" a a a a a a The Cubs paid $125,000 for Chuck Klein, $25,000 more than was admitted at first. He's one Indianapolis Hoosier who is positive prosperity has made it around the corner and has straightened out for a speedy pickup down the straightaway. a a a a a a Larry MacPhail, new executive chief of the Cir.cy Reds, heard so much big money talk at the major league convention it made him dizzy and he priced Chick Hafey at $150,000. All of which drew a laugh. The Reds paid $105,000 for Hafey and went to the wall. a a a a a a Writing to The Times, Frank Sigafoos, Indianapolis second sacker, the leading swatter of the American Association in 1933, extends Christmas and New Year greetings to his many local friends. Sigafoos is spending the winter in Sarasota, Fla.

Columbia Leaves Today for Pacific Coast Battle

BY HENRY MeLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—The Columbias leave for the far west and the great adventure today and this peasant has no regrets at being left behind. In the first place I’d hate to miss New Year's in New York, because my neighborhood companions are going to have a watch party and raise merry Ned. We are going to stay indoors until 11:30, bobbing apples, and playing clap-in-and-clap-out, wink, spin the bottle, and perhaps, postoffice. Then we’re going outside, sit on the curb, and watch. In the second place, reports have reached these ears that the Columbias are annoyed at me. It seems the Lions and their tamer, Dr. Lou Little, took exception to a piece we wrote for the papers the day following their selection to play Stanford in the Rose Bowl. They saw in it,

Sissies

By United Press COLUMBUS. 0.. Dec. 19. At a mixed wrestling-boxing match here last night between "Gentle'’ John Kilonis and Chief Chewchki, here’s what happened: In the first round each swung a metal stool, Kilonis suffering a deep gash in the head. There was fierce fighting in the second period. In the third round Kilonis took a pair of scissors from his trunks, snipped the Indian’s hair, slipped a sack over his head and pummeled him unmercifully. The Indian swung wildly and knocked out referee Leo Alexander. As Chewchki jerked off the sack, the Greek fled through the audience, reached the street and escaped in a taxi. The Indian came back to the ring and was declared victor by default.

so I’m told, disparagement, acrimony, poison pen, blackhand. malnutrition, athlete’s foot, and plain stomach ache. Now, if I was riding all the way to the coast with them you can well imagine what a spot I’d be in. Some of the boys might be tempted to play a few practical jokes on me between here and Tucson, such as putting a cobra under my pillow, a tarantula in my gloves, a scorpion in my play suit pants, an asp in my money belt, and sorghum in my Scotch. And if you’ve ever tasted Scotch with sorghum you know it’s downright dangerous. Just why the Columbias took offense at the piece in question is a mystery to me, for it gave them all the better of it. True, it remarked of the Columbias lack of reserves, their insistence' on playing students on the team, and the fact that Dr. Butler’s place was not strictly a football school. But it didn't say anything about the choice of the Lions being an unhappy one, nor did it say anything about the Columbias being slaughtered. Asa matter of fact I don’t think they will be slaughtered. I don’t see how they can win, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Lions make a hell of a fight of it for the first half, before the climate and their Jack of replacements cuts them down. I pick Stanford to -win for the same reason that I’d pick a good American League baseball team to whip a good American Association club. Stanford plays in a different.football league altogether from Columbia. Columbia’s league, with Dartmouth, Cornell, Navy and the others, is a nice, smart * little league, but it's just not in the same class with that kind of ball they play out on the Pacific coast. I haven't seen Stanford play, but I don’t think much of this talk about the Indians (or are they I not being so hot. They beat Southern California didn’t they? And Southern California, even on a Monday morning when it wasn’t feeling so good, could chase anything in the east right out the back door.

Give Shoeless Joe a Break, Williams Urges

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer NEW YORK. Dec. 19.—The mayor of Greenville, N. C., has sent a wire to Judge Bushyhair Landis petitioning the reinstatement in organized baseball of Shoeless Joe Jackson. Sport page immortality being what it is, I suppose there are a lot of folks around today who never heard of Shoeless Joe, or what he did that should move the mayor of his town to go to bat for him. Well, he was just about the greatest natural hitter baseball ever saw, as well as one of the most instinctive players, and if he hadn’t got himself all jammed up in the- 1919 world series fraud, the customers would still be talking about his exploits on the field. There wasn’t anything Shoeless Joe couldn’t do except think, and to the consternation of some of the more erudite critics of the game, who insisted baseball was an involved science, he demonstrated that it was possible to be both, an illiterate and a star at the" same time. Shoeless Joe never had any book learning, and even when he had advanced far enough in his profession to become a major league player he could not read or write. All he could do was hit, run the bases and pull down flies. Singularly, this seemed sufficient. n ft a The first year he played regularly in the American League he forced Ty Cobb to bat over .400 in order to hold his place as the leading hitter in the circuit. Cobb had never hit .400 before. Shoeless Joe fired a .408 at him and the Georgian trumped it* with a .420. The Georgian was like that, and because he was Shoeless Joe never was able to lead the league in hitting, though he managed to do about every thing else. He was an established star with the Clevelands when I first caught up with him. He rated a drawing room on the out-of-town trips. Usually he carried a parrot with him on these trips. The parrot had mastered a few salty dugout phrases. One of these was: “You're louzy.

PAGE 20

O’Loughlin.” O’Loughlin was an umpire. The parrot and Shoeless Joe got along very well together. They had much in common. The ball player picked up most of the stuff he knew, too, including phrases which seemed to him apt, appropriate and pertinent. If there was a bond between them it was understandable. They could share their shortcomings. a a a WHEN Shoeless Joe got letters from a :ady a roommate would read them to him E. S. Barnard always saw to it that a sympathetic, fellow roomed with him. Barnard was secretary of the Clevelands then. Later he became president of the league, a forceful, efficient executive. Shoeless Joe would go through the pantomime of reading the letter. Then he would hand it over to the roommate, laughing loudly. . . . “Get this. It’s rich." More often than not the letter would have to do with the need of new wire netting for the chicken corral on the farm, or a warning that the taxes were due on the twentieth. On trains and in hotels Shoeless Joe made a ceremony of one meal—breakfast. He would study the menu very carefully, then with a grand gesture order ham and eggs. Every morning for breakfast the order was the same. At all other times he came to table with the roommate. Another ceremony. In the end. “I’ll have the same.’’ # St 8 JACKSON was one of the several White Sox who sold ouf to the gamblers in the series which Cincinnati, underdog in the betting, won. For him there was more public sympathy than for the others. People said the dumb cluck didn’t know any better, so what could you expect? This really great ball player from the back lands deserved a certain amount of sympathy, but for quite another reason. He was practically a matured man before he knew anything about the existence of books or the magic of printed symbols. There Is, of course, no affinity

between ignorance and honest instincts, and so I have never felt that Jackson’s participation in the series fakery should be condoned or mitigated on the ground that if he had been able to read Sanskrit and explain the theory of relativity he wouldn’t have entered the conspiracy. Even so, I feel now that he should be reinstated by Judge % Landis. From 1920 to 1933 is a long stretch, whether spent in prison yard or enforced exile. In this instance the two forms of punishment are the same. Any other tribunal of justice would agree, I believe, that by now Shoeless Joe has paid his debt to society. Two ‘Champs’ Finish Even By United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—The questiontion, “who is the rightful heavyweight wrestling champion of the world,’’ evades all answers. With three bruisers claiming tne title, Jim Browning and Ed Don George met in Madison Square Garden last night to simmer the field down to two. But after an hour and forty minutes, the bout was declared a draw. George is recognized as titleholder by New England states and the Province of Quebec; Browning by twenty-three states, includng New York. Jim Londos of Greece, champion in five states, is the third “champion.”

Southport Lad Named Schaefer, Brilliant Grid End, Listed Among Hoosier Prep Stars. by dick miller The Times today presents its 1933 annual all-state high school football selections. Members represent the cream of more than 4,600 prep school lads who took part in the grid sport over the state during the season just closed, the hopes of Hoosierdom for future all-America honors. Naturally, the majority of the high honors went to the players on the eleven teams considered for the award of The Indianapolis Times trophy, "Triumph,” annually awarded by the writer to the squad rated as the outstanding team of the season. Clinton was adjudged that eleven last week. But not all the stars were on those teams. Such was Vincent Schaefer cf Southport. His team was undefeated. It played one tie game but defeated three Indianapolis elevens. In all these games this lad, who is six feet tall, carries 162 pounds, is an exceptional blocker as well as tackier and fine pass receiver, never was outplayed. Injuries Halt Cherry Harry Cherry of Washington, Indianapolis, first team full back in 1932, suffered from injuries during the major portion of the 1933 season and never reached his stride. But Indianapolis had other outstanding stars, including Woerner. Tech end; McMahon, Cathedral quarter back; Gatto, Sliortridge guard; Steckley, Cathedral end; Brown, Tech tackle; Faris, Shortridge tackle; Luzar, Washington guard; Constantino, Manual quarter back, and Bohne and Danner, Tech backs. There were at least fifteen great ends in Indiana this fall. The same applies to the tackles and there certainly is little to choose between the eight named on the first four teams. Likewise, between Wheeler, Henry, Boulanger and Jones, at guards, the last two received high mention in northern Indiana football. Evansville’s Mainstay Eakins, the big lineman of Reitz at Evansville appears to be in a class by himself at center, although several others were great pivot men. Reitz had a powerful wall of which Eakins was the mainstay. The quarter back job on the first team this fall goes north. Vincent Oliver, the field general on Whiting's fine team, is regarded as the one big reason for that eleven’s success and is given the edge over Bibich of Clinton. Like the ends, there are at least a dozen half backs who could grace the second team without criticism. Vanzo Clinton Leader McGannon, the Evansville wonder, did everything and did it well He Was a "half dozen threat” player. Vanzo of Clinton was the leader of the Clinton team and his all around ability largely was responsible for that squad’s great record. Few mythical selections ever are made in which the selector does not find at least one spot where he hesitates. This year it is at the full back position. The two boys in question are Frank Patrick of Roosevelt, East Chicago, and Herschel Kurz of Peru. Both were main cogs and both teams were among the outstanding elevens of the season. Neither was stopped entirely by any defense. However in being able to gain ground consistently against the strong opposition he met in the northern conference, Patrick gets the call.
