Expects Ruth To Get Minor League | Berth

Former Swat Sultan Needs Experience in Handling Players.

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer Ni YORK, Nov. 30.—It may be that we'll see Mr. Babe Ruth back in a monkey suit somewhere next season. There are definite signs that the .fat guy is getting fidgety. I suppose you noticed he rose to the bait the other day and took a few tentative sniffs at that offer to manage the Albany club. A year ago the fat guy would have dismissed any such offer with withering scorn. Now he says he wants time to think it over. I called him a few hours ago . . . “The chances are nothing will come of it,” said Mr. Ruth, “but I X told 'em I'd see DY ) ‘em later in the = week, © I made Williams one awful mistake and I don't intend to make another if I can avoid it.”

He was referring to the decision which prompted him to go to the Boston Braves as outfielder, vice president and assistant manager. It turned out ito be a very unsatisfactory, not ta say ridiculous, arrangement and the fat guy quit in mid season, badly disillusioned.

Mr. Ruth appears to be excessively gcagey in discussing the Albany There must be something about it that interests him or else he would have no hesitancy in: stating emphatically that he wants no part of it. On the contrary he admits he has an open mind and the decision rests with the future. This leads me to suspect that the sparse figure of Clark Griffith may be lurking somewhere in the background. Mr. Griffith, owner of the Washington club, is also actively interested in the Albany club. I recall, too, that Mr. Griffith sent Walter Johnson to the minors to see what he could do as a manager, and, on finding out, fetched him back to the majors to run his club. I can think of only one reason why Mr. Ruth hasn't been taken over. by some major league outfit as a manager by now, and that is his inexperience in handling men. There is only one way to find this out—give him a club and let him operate it. Mr. Griffith did this with Johnson. It may be the Albany proposition involves the possibility of a similar experiment, though I confess this is nothing more than a guess. Mr. (Griffith is the best showman in baseball. He knows the

value of big names and publicity.

e introduced Altrock and Schacht, He didn't hesitate to enroll Art Whattaman Shires who at the time seemed to .have both color and ability. I don't imagine he would hesitate to take on Mr. Ruth if the fat guy demoristrated his fitness as a manager. Anyway, if Mr. Ruth is ever to get anywhere as a manager he must start sometime, and since the majors have made it plan they are not interested in him as an untried leader, perhaps he should accept the next most attractive connection. Either that or resign himself to continuous retirement. °

GFR4KING of the Rose Bowl game, Mr. Ray Eckmann, graduate manager of Washington, ihe host club, says, “It is our desire to seléct the most worthy and rep‘resentative opponent possible.” As I see it, this makes the matter of selection quite simple. It must be Louisiana State university, one of the two unbeaten Southern elevens. The other unbeaten eleven is Alabama. But everybody I talked with in the South told me L. S. U. was a good two touch downs stronger than the Tuscaloosa machine. And it must be assumed that the people down there know something about their own teams. L. 8. U. is one of the few rose bowl eligibles that didn’t suffer the slightest sort of let down once they began to roll. The way they assacred Tulane in their closing game of the schedule, 53-0, is solid corroborative testimony. Neither Minnesota nor_ Northwestern could have made the trip if invited owing to conference restrictions on post season games, but both tailed off somewhat in the Stretch drive—Northwestern especialy. Of all the Eastern eligibles Fordham was the one Washington had settled on, but the New Yorkers i if takes to keep ‘traveling all the way at a fast

Lash... he won.

By United Press NEWARK, N. J., Nov. 30.—Donald Lash held his third consecutive 10,~ 000 meters A. A. U. cross-country championship today and Indiana had regained team honors for the event they lost five years ago. Lash, the lanky Indiana senior, led his mates to a perfect team victory yesterday for the first time in the history of the event, pacing Tommy Deckard to the finish tape by 350 yards. Andy (Hawk) Zamperilli, Northwestern sophomore, broke into the Indiana processional to take fifth place, but since he was not on a team it did not prevent the Hoosiers from a perfect score of 15 points, since Earl Applegate of Indiana ran sixth. Lash was clocked in 32:37, fiftythree seconds faster than Deckard. James Smith, Negro junior, was third in 33:50 and Melvern Trutt, Indiana sophomore, fourth in 34:48. The Millrose A. A. of New York, which had héld the cross-country title for four years, was second with 63 points and Manhattan College, runnerup for the I. C. A. A. A, A. title, took third with 70 points.

Dayton Team Wins Pro Tilt

Second Quarter Rally Paves Way for Victory Over U. S. Rubber Five.

A second quarter rally gave Dayton London Bobby pros a 40-to-35 victory over the local U. S. Rubber Products in the initial pro basketball tilt of the season. The game was played at the Pennsy Gym before a crowd of 1000. The locals got away to an early lead when Bill Sadler scored from the side of the floor just after the game started. As the first quarter ended the local team had run the score to 9 to 6. As the second quarter opened they rang up two field goals that put them in front, 13 to 6. At this point Bebby Colburn, former Ohio State flash, who had just entered the game, and Arnold Wagner, who won his collegiate laurels with the University of Missouri, cut loose with four field goals each that put the Ohio team in the lead. Colburn added three free throws for good measure and as the half ended the visitors held a 27-t0-17 lead. §

Second Half Close

The second half proved to be a nip-and-tuck affair, with Toy Jones putting the Rubbermen to within three points of their opponents during the third quarter. Colburn reentered the game and kept the visitors in front with another field goal clong ‘with two charity tosses. - The locals made an .effort to overcome the visitors’ lead with five minutes te go, but the rally fell short as the gun sounded. ’ Colburn, with ~ 15 points, and Wagner with 10 were the scoring aces of the Bobbies, while Sadler, Frank Prather and Bill Schrader divided honors for the U. S. team with ‘six points each. Jones, Bill Schrader and Bob Yohler were outstanding on defense for the locals.

Guldahl Holds

Augusta Open

Total of 283 Good For Victory in $5000 Open Tourney. By United Press : ; AUGUSTA, Ga. Nov. 30.—Time

| marches on, and as it ‘marches golf

scores get lower and lower. After Ralph Guldahl’s winning 72-hole total of 283 in the $5000 Augusta Open championship yesterday, golf critics ‘were going about asking one another how long would it be before four rounds in the high fifties would be necessary for victory. If such a question sounds ridiculous, please ponder over these facts: Six years ago, in this same tournament, Bobby Jones won with an aggregate of 284. Not much difference between that score and Guldahl’s. But Jones won with 13

| strokes to spare, his nearest rival

being Horton Smith with 297, Guldahl had only two strikes to spare, and there were 30 players with 295 or better. . In this tournament Smith was nine shots better than he was in 1930, yet he finished in a four-way tie for ninth place. And don't forget—Guldahl would have finished in 281 had he not stroked the wrong ball in the opening round and suffered a two-stroke penalty. Victory No Fluke Guldahl’s play in this tournament was no flash-in-the-pan affair, He's been a good golfer for quite a few years. In 1933 he missed a four-

foot putt that would have given him a tie with Johnny Goodman in the National Open and early this year he won the Western Open with a 72-hole aggregate of 274. - His sub-par play in the Augusta tournament gave Guldahl a hairiine advantage over Harry Cooper in the battle for 1936 low scoring honors. So far this year Ralph has played 61 rounds and his average score is 71.70. Cooper, who finished six strokes behind in this tournament, has an average score of 71.74 for 78 rounds. Those two averages show as well as anything how golf scores ‘have been reduced. It wasn't many years ago that an average of even fours was downright sensational, and good enough to win ten tournaments out of eleven. Yet Cooper and Guldahl are not among the big money winners of the year. Possession of the Radix trophy will be decided at the $10,000 open in Miami late this week. Both Guldahl and Cooper are entered, and it is the final tournament of the year for both. Guldahl and Cooper both broke the Forest Hills course record with 67s yesterday.

Huskies Silent On Bowl Foe

Alabama Favorite

Local sentiment seemed to favor Alabama, although on the records this appeared just a bid for trouble. Alabama’s Bowl score is three victories and a tie. Washington was one of Alabama's victims, however, and the citizenry believes this would be an excellent time to take revenge for the 20-19 defeat suffered in 1926.

BY HOWARD J. BRICE United Press Staff Correspondent

PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 30.—Surrender to recklessness, characteristic of many Americans, may attain for Yankees world ski honors in several years, Count Felix Schaffgotsch, Australian sportsman, believes. : “Americans risk so much more than Austrians or Swiss, who now lead the world,” the nobleman explained. “They just close their eyes and come down. They have no fear.” Count. Schaffgotsch came to the United States a year ago in quest of an ideal site for a winter sports park. He found it in Idaho's Sun

. Valley, gouged out of the Saw-

tooth mountain range northeast of Boise. Opening date for the playground has been set for tomorrow.

Reservations Received .

The Count said reservations have been received from Mr. and Mrs. Gary Cooper, Mrs. Vincent Astor, Nelson Rockefeller and their parties. The playground will rival any in the world, the Count declared.

It was built at an expense of $1,500,000 by a railroad company. Electric chairs will carry patrons up sheer cliffs and steep slopes so they can glide down gentle declines frosted with snow.

Other Sports Offered 4 . Besides winter sports, swimming in a glass-enclosed pool, horseback riding and dancing will be offered. > - Six Austrians, led by Hans Hauser, three times a champion in his

country, will instruct skiers. Count Schafigotsch is interested

in a second Pacific Northwest win-

ter sports park, to be opened soon on Mount Hood in Oregon. Unlike the Sun Valley tract, which will be open only four months of the year, this playground be in use the year around.
