1940 and again in 1941, Golden Gloves competition is limited to five years of competition. This rule was made a part of the code in Chicago two years ago and is retroactive. The Golden Gloves event as supervised by the Chicago Tribune staged primarily for young boxers. . Boxers are accepted for competition at 16, as Novices, and one year in that division usually is sufficient to earn a promotion to the Open class And then four vears in the Open is considered long enough in amateur competition.

COLUMBIA, 8. C, Jan. 20.— The Brooklyn Dodgers are going to win the National League championship again and Walter Kirby Higbe’s pitching will make Flatbush baseball fans forget the war, That's the opinion of Kirby Higbe himself. “Why I'm going
to win about 30 games myself |
this year,” he said, in an interview today. “And if the Dodgers keep hitting, we're going to waltz in for the 1942 championship.” “I'm getting tired ‘of people saying that I will never be the pitcher that Dizzy Dean was,” Higbe said. “I think I'm already better than Dean and I'm going to prove it this season.”
The Dodgers acquired Higbe after the 1940 season by trading
three players and $100,000 in cash |
to the Philadelphia Phillies. Last season, when Brooklyn won the National League title, he chalked up 22 wins for nine defeats and had an earned run average of 3.14 per game. “Some folks thought the Dodgers took a gamble in shelling out that much money and three players for me,” Higbe added. “But last season's record set them straight on that score and this vear will be even better,

Time Receives 182 Ballots
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—Rogers Hornsby. generally regarded as the greatest right-handed hitter in baseball annals, has been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, Bill Brandt, head of the National League Service Bureau. ane nounced today. Of 233 ballots cast by the baseball writers, Hornsby received 182, seven more than the 75 per cent required for election.

No other players received the necessary three-fourths vote although there were ballots cast for 71 players ranging all the way from Iron Man McGinnity to Babe Herman. Frank Chance, peerless leader of the old Chicago Cubs, received 136 votes—thirty-nine short of election—and Rube Waddell, eccentric (strikeout maestro of the Philadel|phia Athletics of the same period, polled 126—forty-nine under election requirements.
