Joe, the Jumper, Would
Be Card in Big Series

always worked on the theory OF
knocking down the ball and then
getting It over. Frisch plays the
same way. Even with his freak
style Of batting. Groh was always
a good hitter until this year. Nc
Graw has had him all over the bat
ting order and can't find a place
where he fits. He is slow on the
bases because of "A bad knee.
The Browns are using a make
shift third baseman after a bit Of
hard luck early In the season when
Ellerbe was ruined by an injury to
the knee. Eddie Foster does well
in the position. but he is well along
in years. easily injured and just an
ordinary ball player. He tries hard
and has put up a game that hasn't
retarded the club to any great ex-
tent. Ancient Jimmy Austin and
Robertson, a rookie. I'LL the posi-
ton when Foster IS not playing.
With Foster and Groh playing
against each other, the Giants
might have a shade the better at
third, but IL Dugan gets into the
series the Yanks will have aNgreat
advantage.
Philadelphia writer's remark that
Joe might take a notion to go home
during the series but he maintains
stoutly that he is perfectly satisfied
with the team and that his jumping
days are over.

HIGH BACK TO
POOL ANOTHER YEAR

The swimming team that will rep
resent the Wilmington High School
this year will have a hard task, II
they intend 10 finish their season
with higher honors than last year.
Last Saturday afternoon Coach
Leroy Sparks and Manager Lloyd
Alexander worked for fully an hour
trying 10 book the best teams pos
sible that would give the Cherry and
White fish some competition.
Harold Ladd, former manager
submitted a list OF about thirty
schools with which there may be
meets. From this list fourteen we're
picked.
Coach Sparks doesn't intend to
start the schedule until December 8
because OF the fact that three OF his
best heats, Bardo. Sheldon and Ped
rick are out for varsity berths on
the football team.
Spraks has directed Alexander to
forward a letter 20 the Chester High
school athletic authorities asking II
they will introduce swimming so
that there can be competition be-
tween the schools in this sport.
This years local team may be
Handicapped because they do not
have a large pool in which to prac-
tice. The 'Y' tank is 25 by 40,
which is entirely too small consider
ing the pools some cities have.
Therefore Manager Alexander has
listed only four home meets while
the rest away.
The tentative schedule follows:

United Press Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, Sept. IS Omitted
Press) General opinion rates pro-
fessional baseball as one OF the best
paying sports for athletes.
Some mistaken notions, however,
are spread regarding the big salaries
paid TO ball players, according TO
RAY ]. Cannon, who is helping the
players 10 form an organization.
Cannon says that the average sal
ary of the professional baseball
player IS $4,000 2 year.
One might have the opinion that
most OF the players were getting at
least s5, 1000 a year II the yelps Of the
club owners were taken at face
value.
During the White Sox expose II
was brought out how little Comiskey
was paying his stars and Phil Doug
las recently claimed that he was get
ting only $500 before he was ban
ished from the New York Giants.
Douglas was the besU pitcher in
the National League, and If his sal
airy was the standard for the best
players in the league. the players
have good reason TO howl.
Cannon maintains that the club,
owners keep boasting about the SAL
ary paid to big stars and that they
Intentionally allow figures twice the
amount of the real salary paid to
the stars TO be published and circu-
lated.
It was generally believed that
Babe Ruth was getting close to
100000 a year from the Yanks, un-

'9rhe trend OF prices should be

to be placed on financial reports OF

Whether Tommy Whoosthis put up
a clean and game fight against Kid
Knockout Is OF vital moment and not
whether the purse was sos or $780,

The cost OF baseball bats or golf
clubs or boxing gloves 10 the boy

more important than either.

There are several labeled the
greatest among those tagged for
the coming worlds series.
Among those who may get into
the big fall battle is the greatest
third baseman of the present time
--"Jumpin' Joe" Dugan, Of the
Yanks.
When he was with Connie Mack's
cellar gang he was regarded as hav-
ing the makings of a wonderful
player. He didn't hit much. but he
could get anything that came with
in five yards OF him.
He had one fault. When he
wanted to go home. he went.
He wanted to get away from
Philadelphia and he finally sulked
his way to New York over the bar
gain counter conducted by the Bos-
ton Red Sox.
With the Yanks he started doing
what he was long expected TO do.
He has been playing brilliantly and
hitting grand" he has been saving
games with impossible plays all
over the hot corner and winning at
the bat. He is by far the best third
baseman In the game and he will be
a big card If he gets into the series.
Heine Groh. the high-priced third
sacker of the Giants is one OF the
biggest busts of recent years. The
Reds sold him TO the Giants for
$3.50, 900 and secured in his place
Babe" Pinelli. a player who has
made Cincinnati forget all about
Groh.
Groh is another sloppy fielder.

OF the players union. The men who
are making the game good for i'm

which doesn't give them a chance

which make them virtual slaves.

good ball players have been trans
