By Eddie Ash McGraw Discusses the ‘Perfect Player’ m m m He Would Be Composite of Many Stars

\yiiAT should be the qualities of the "perfect ball player?” This question was put to John J. McGraw by Charles Parker of the New York World-Telegram and the veteran “Mac” answered it to the best of his ability. “I would begin,” John said, “with qualities essential to greatness in baseball but which never show in the averages. I mean character, spirit and baseball intelligence. It would take a combination of Christy Mathewson, Johnny Evers and Honus Wagner to provide the best I have come upon in those vital features, with Hughey Jennings to round them out. “Matty not only was the greatest pitcher the game has produced—smart and with perfect control—but he was the finest character that ever came into the game. He never caused a manager a moment’s trouble. His heart was in the game and with the players. Whenever he found an associate doing unwise things, Matty would have a quiet talk with that individual and a better man would come from their meeting.” a a a a a a FJ'OR fight and spirit, McGraw selected Johnny Evers of the old Chicago Cubs. “That lad never was licked, and it did not matter how big they came. He may have been of the baseball of another era—the era when clubhouse battles among teammates were not uncommon, so strong war, the desire for victory. I think, however, it was baseball’s most glorious period, and Johnny was a leading spirit. In the matter of smartness —the ability to see several plays ahead and comport himself accordingly— Honus Wagner would be my choice. His good nature and awkward action never advertised his baseball keenness, but Honus, to my way of thinking, war as smart a man as ever wielded a bat or fielded a ball. Jennings combined the qualities of all three. He was a great team influence, a fighter from the word go and he knew what the game of baseball was all about.” ana ana THE former Giant manager then took up the other “perfect ball player" qualities. “He should have the legs and speed of Frankie Frisch. He should have the throwing arm of George Kelly, the hands of Honus Wagner for ground balls, the eye, the ease and the anticipation of Tris Speaker on fly balls, the ability of Rogers Hornsby as a right-handed hitter and that of Ty Cobb as a left-handed hitter. In the matter of speed and legs there might be an argument, with Cobb as the rival candidate, but I’m for Frisch and his underpinning. I never saw a better throwing arm than was Kelly’s in his prime, although Speaker and others have shown me great whips. The Wagner hands were without equal. They were like a couple of coal scuttles—just let the ball touch the edge of them and it was in his control.” a a a a a a McGRAW left Babe Ruth out of the picture, baseball’s most glamorous personage. However, John had this to say of the slugging Bambino: “You can’t compare Ruth’s fielding with Tris Speaker’s, or his throwing with George Kelly’s, or his speed with Frisch’s, and both Hornsby and Cobb were better, if not as hard, hitters. Asa gate attraction. Babe, of course, tops them all and undoubtedly he is, with the lively ball in the game, the hardest hitter of the past decade.” That’s right John, you "gotta” have somebody to draw ’em in the park via the box office. a a a a a a yF you are able to climb out of the sheets by 3:45 New Year's afternoon you will have a radio football treat in store. The Columbia-Stanford Tournament of Roses grid classic at Pasadena, Cal., will be put on the air by the National Broadcasting Company and it will be on station WKEF. Indianapolis. Don Thompson and Kenneth Carpenter will be at the microphone in the Rose Bowl and will describe the struggle play by play. a a a a a a AFTER hitch-hiking from West Virginia to California, without practice for months, playing with a $1.50 racket he had strung himself, and then cracked against a post. Jack Field extended Jack Tidball, national intercollegiate tennis champion, in a match at Los Angeles the other day. Field was playing indoors for the first time in his life when he met Tidball in the Southern California indoor championships. Although he lost the first set, 6-0, Field carried the champion 8-6 in the second set. a a a a a a PLANS are being made to charter a special bus to accommodate a number of local roller polo fans who wish to go to Terre Haute, Monday night, to see the Indianapolis and Terre Haute teams open the season in that city at the Shrine temple. The bus will leave here at 6 p. m. and arrive in Terre Haute at 8, the game being scheduled to start at 8:30. The bus will leave Terre Haute immediately after the game. If thirty persons sign up for the trip, the cost will be but $1 round trip. Those interested should get in touch with Earl McKee at the Tomlinson hall game tomorrow afternoon.

During the entire season, Old Man Hard Luck has been following Rex Dawson around and there seems to be no relief in sight, for when this boy did throw off the slump and roll a sereis of 641, it had to be against the Barbasol team when it were “hot,” and Dawson's Hotel Antler team lost all three games. Ray Fox and Rogers tried to help Rex out, with totals of 638 and 603, but Fehr, Johnson, Fulton and Larry Fox rolled totals of 671,636,632, and 657 to give Barbasol a total of 3,171 an da triple win. This contest was rolled in the City League on the Hotel Antler alleys last night. Hank Shriver is another bowler who was plenty "tough” today. For the past, three or four weeks, Shriver has not been able to hit his hat. in the City League play, falling below the 500 mark each set.

To make matters worse. Hall shot 608, which means that he had a large night, for Hall. The boy to flash the old-time f°n" ih th >s league, however, was Jim Miller.

Levinsky Easily Outpoints McCorkindale Before 12,000

By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 30.—King Levinsky, Chicago’s heavyweight contender, was looking for new champions to conquer today atfer his ten round victory over Don McCorkindale, South Africa titleholder, before a crowd of 12,000 in the Chicago Stadium last night. Receipts were estimated ta $19,000. Levinsky, obviously fat and in none too good condition, had a fourteen pound weight advantage, scaling 206% to McCorkindale’s 192%.

“Why don’t you try writing some basketball in that column,” queries The Boss, smirkingly. Which makes it very apparent The Boss never has tried to write a basketball column. Baseball relief pitchers spend hours toiling in the bullpen, warming up, but when a columnist pinch hitter takes two windups to find his bearings before “getting in there to pitch,” The Boss thunders, “Get to work.” O. K., Boss, here we go:

First of all, there’s that TechShortridge thing tonight. For the boys and girls who like their basketball games wrapped up with lots of thrills, this one tonight should provide full satisfaction.

Muncie stopped ’em Thursday night, and the Magic City scribes say either over-confidence or dissention is holding the Stonecutters back . . a a a How's this for a freak game—Milton defeated Boston, a nearby rival, 28 to 25, but that's only half the story.

The Chicago Hebrew punched himself out in the first round trying to put over the finishing wallop, and in some of the suceeding rounds he was in almost as bad shape as the foreigner from throwing punches. The decision was unanimous. There never was any doubt about the result after the first round. McCorkindale didn’t win a round. He landed few damaging punches. One of these came in the third round when he laid open an ugly gash over LeVinsky’s right eye.

Stars Join Coast Team Stanford Will Have Full Strength for Rose Bowl Game. By United Press PASADENA. Cal.. Dec. 30—Word that Stanford apparently will be at full strength against Columbia at Rose Bowl Jan. 1 lengthened odds on the western eleven today. Previously a two touchdown favorite at even money, Stanford was made a two touchdown favorite at odds as high as 7 to 5. This was not entirely surprising for most western critics, including Howard Jones, coach of Southern California. The critics, Jones included, were fearful that Stanford suffered a psychological disadvantage that might make the game much closer and even offered Columbia a chance for victory. It was pointed out that Stanford has been favored heavily since Columbia was ananounced as the eastern representative for the annual Tournament of Roses intersectional contest and that Columbia had been a distinct underdog, its selection even bringing derisive stories from some quarters. The overconfidence that Stanford might have gained from this experience would be fed rather than lessened by the practice of Coach Tiny Thornhill, who has permitted sundry and all citizens to watch the Stanford drills here. Sometimes spectators have crowded the sidelines and interfered with scrimmage plays. Bill Corbus, allAmerica guard, Bob Grayson, full back, Monk Moscrip, end, and other stars have been the center of admiring autograph seekers on the training field daily. Thornhill ordered a brief workout this 'afternoon, the last before hi s team appears in historic Rose Bowl at 2:15 Monday. Columbia, declared to be in fine fettle by its coach, Lou Little, was to have a light practice in Tucson. Five More Swim Records Tumble By United Pres ? MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 30.—With nine American records broken in two days of competition, leading swimmers today sought to erase a few more marks as the second annual Olympic stars’ aquatic meet came to a close in the Miami-Biltmore pool. Five records yesterday were added to Thursday’s four as Leonard Spence shattered the American 500yard and 500-meter marks and Anne Govednik, Alice Bridges and Ralph Flanagan broke one mark apiece. Lenore Kight, Homestead, Pa., equaled her own world record for the 300-yard freestyle event.

Coaches Oppose Pay for Players By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 30.—The National Collegiate Athletic Association, composed of leading college athletic coaches throughout the nation, was placed on record today as opposing any form of pay for college athletes. Os the 150 delegates only three said they would favor any plan for paying college athletes. The coaches voted unanimously to discourage any form of proselyting. Existence of the practice was recognized by Dr. D. A. Denick, Texas university, who said “.three of the finest men I know lost their jobs as coaches this year because they refused to proselyte.” Led by Don Glen and Bradley. the Bridgeport Cardinals handed Central Camels their first defeat of the season hy a score of 39 to 35.

Shawkey Is Bear Pilc/t Veteran Pitcher Is Chosen to Manage Yankees’ Newark Team. * By United Press NEWARK. N. J.. Dec. 30. The Newark Boars of the International League will be piloted next season by Robert J. <Bob> Shawkey, former New York Yankee manager and pitcher. Shawkey was appointed yesterday as successor to A1 Mamaux, who retired this year from active baseball. Shawkey is 43. and for many years was a star hurler in the American League. The appointment of Shawkey to the stewardship of the Bears brought to an end the rumors that Babe Ruth would be made pilot of the Yankee farm club. Bob has piloted the Scranton team of the New York-Pennsylvania league the last two years. A1 Mamaux managed the Bears three years and was released after the 1933 season. Under Mamaux, Newark finished second in 1931, won the pennant and “little world series” in 1932 and finished first in tha regular race in 1933 only to lose out in the play-off series, anew arrangement to determine the championship. Newark won the regular race by a margin of fourteen games. Manaunx was popular in Newark and it may be a tough spot for Shawkey if the new manager runs into hard luck and the club slumps.
