$lI,OOO For Widow

ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. 16.-Billy Miske's greatest desire-to have his family we'll provided for-was fulfilled here last night when nearly $11 ,00O was raised at a testimonial boxing program for the benefit of the late heavyweight pugilist's widow, and ap- proximately 5000 of this amount will go to the family of the popular local fighter, who died New Years Day, aft CT long illness with Bright's disease. About $2,000 in expenses was incurred by the promoters of the card. The ticket receipts totaled $9,220 This was increased $1,300 through do- nations and the sale of a baseball autographed by Babe Ruth, home run king. Harry Heilmann, champion batsman of the American league, auc- tioned off the baseball, which brought $500. Champion Jack Dempsey's check for $500 was included in the do- nations.
 Dago Joe Cans, St. Paul welter- weight, defeated Eddie Morris, Sioux City, in the main bout on the card, which included exhibition contests be- tween Tommy Gibbons, St. Paul heavy weight, and Jimmy Delaney and Pinkey and Richie Mitchell, Milwau- kee boxers.
 Before the boxing program began, a final ten count" was sounded for Miske as thousands who filled the auditorium stood with bowed heads.

SUDBURY, Mass, Jan. 16.-(By As sociated PressJ-Babe Ruth, who bats out home runs in the summer months plays gentleman farmer on his Sud- bury estate all winter, but not be- cause he likes 1t. Ruth, busy at build ing a new hen house one mild Jan- uary day, suspended operations long enough to say that farming with him is just an incident in the serious busi- ness of baseball. The ax, hammer, saw and snow shovel which are Ruth's win ter time toys, are no more than instru- ments of training for the mighty bat that is expected to 'propel home runs in mid-July.
 guys got to keep right at it."
 Impelled by an ambition and a dread his farm of 140 acres. The ambition is to outstrip all past records in long dis tance batting in the 1924 season. The dread is that winter may put on the Babes great frame many pounds of weight which he will be compellef to train away in the early summer.
 Ruth said he had too much reduce ing to do last spring, that the process sapped his strength and that he lost time at the opening of the season which told on his 1923 performances. Nothing of that kind is to occur this year, he says, and claims that he has added little if any to his weight of the 1923 worlds series. He made one trip to New York this winter It was to ask and receive permission from Colonel Ruppert, owner of the Yan- kees. to go to Hot Springs, Ark, early in February for the boiling out" pro- cess.
 Ruth does not pretend to be much of an agriculturist as the growing sea

Money For Olympic

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-At the aver az, rate of $1,00es a man or wonaans the United States team of Olympic athletes will need $350.000 to defray its travelling costs on the trip U France this year. Major General Henry T. Allen, who commanded the army of oc- cupation on the Rhine. put the matter that way in appealing to college stu dents throughout the ,and to help raise the Olympic fund.-
 Seven out of ten athletes on the team will be from the campus, the generals message said, and college men, both undergraduates and alumni. should take a special Interest In the effort to finance the expedition.
 "These athletes will be our ambassa- dors, and they should not be called upon to make personal financial sacri- fices in order that we may be repre- sented by our best" the general said.
 The quotas of many cities have been decided upon, but the "drive" for funds by localities Is being deferred for . few days until thel representatives of all the larger cities in the country ac- cept their quotas. Some of the amounts will be revised downward, but in some cases the contributions are expected to 10 higher than the assigned minimum.
 General Aliens interest in the Olym- pic games Is a natural one, as he is closely acquainted with the athletic, sit- uation in all European countries. In the competitions between the soldier teams and guest teams from various nations on the Rhine he was partic- uiarly impressed by the athletic adapt ability and versatility of the Czecho- SloVakian men.

son of crops finds him engaged Nelse- where and otherwise. His Sudbury farm contains 60 acres of woodland and it is against this that the Babe directs his efforts.
 Has Much Timber s%
 He estimates the timber on his prop erty at about 300,000 feet andt he swings his southpaw ax daily dufing his sojourn here. This winter he has varied the program by assisting in the building of several chicken houses, in tending to branch out on large scale in the chicken raising industry. ..
 Ruth swings at a tree. with much the same energy he displays in swing ing at a baseball. His blows meet with somewhat more resistance, but there IS the compensating advantage that he is allowed more chances at the tree.
 His Sudbury neighbors regard Ruth as a faithful worker, put have not grown intimate with him. Babe does not pretenA to be at his best as a con versationalist, but he Is well liked here. In adjoining towns the fact that "a baseball star of the first magnitude resides in their midst does not seem to be known to the entire populace. The Babes automobile gets him into trou
 ble from time to time. but never In Sudbury, where the roads are not adapted to speeding.
 During the summer months Ruth's "hired man" carries CT at the farm, which produces sufficient to stock the larder for the winter months. On the estate there Is farmhouse which Ruth does not use, two modern barns and considerable live stock. Ruth and his family occupy a bungalow. When he wearies of labor the Babe goes pickerel fishing through he ice on nearby lakes E

COACH WADE ARRANGES
 GAMES FOR SPRING WORK
Alabama Football Squad Will Be Sent Through Hart Training Drill In Preparation For Next
 Season On Gridiron

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Jan. 16.--(Spe- cial.)--Four football games week for five successive weeks between teams to be equally balanced with freshmen, varsity and scrub players. will consti- tute the major portion of the Crimson Tides spring football training period under Coach Wallace Wade.
 And that is not all. Each team will play two of these games, every week, and will also be tutored in the fine points of the game the other five days. Quite an extensive program having the Alabama grid candidates popped up good for the 1924 schedule.
 This work will start as soon as mid- term examina ations are over, about Thursday of next week, and will con- tinue throughout February and possi- ply few days in March. At least. until baseball gets well under way.
 Spring training to a very small ex- tent was had at the Capstone last year. One remembers that Coach Wade came down from Nashville for few days and worked the squad hard dur ing his stay here. Then, one remem- bers that Ben Compton tried his toe at backs dallied around bunting and pass ing, while linemen received instruction from Coach Crisp and vandegraaf. Then there was other things, but noth- ing to compare with the training menu for this year.
 Fully 100 men will be seen in foot ball regalia during the next six weeks at Alabama. The four teams will be made up by Coach Wade with as much thought to team strength as possible. No team will number a greater num- Der of varsity players than others, all will be approximately equal in strength. A captain will be in charge of each eleven, with permission given him to seek any pigskin chasers he knows on the campus. That will get many men

Morrison Leading

TAMPA, Fia., Jan. 16.-Tom Nor rison. the veteran golfer of .Oakmont club, Plttsburg, Pr, who eliminated H. J.. Topping yesterday, showed his experience on the Seaside courses of Scotland by another remarkable round at Belleair, Fya., in the annual January tournament today, and defeated George Morse of Rutland, Vt., seven and five.

Dickerson of Clear water, two and one, after a see-saw match. Hugh Halsell of Sleep Hollow Country club and Dallas, Tex, the senior golf champion, defeated Dr. c. H. Gardner of Providence, R. l., one up. The longest match of the day was one in which W. s. Miller of Ely ria, O., took the measure of H. W. Nichols, a national links player, on the twentieth green.

City Riflemen Enter

Beginning Thursday night, January r, the members of the Third battalion, 167 infantry rifle team will fire the regimental team match of the Nation al Rifle association. This is the first time that the members of the national guard have had an opportunity to fire in these matches. Heretofore the gall lery matches have been held for the civilian members of the N. R. A. only, but this year the guardsmen will be given an opportunity to compare their scores with those made by the civilians who make a sport out of rifle shoot ing.
 Lieut.. W. D. Smith, the team coach stated that, though this was the first time the guardsmen had fired in the matches, he was confident that his team would make a good showing. Some of the best riflemen in the state are members of the Birmingham units and many of the best shots will be firing members of the team.
 The following is the probable lineup of the team:
 Lieut. w. D. Smith, Jr., team coach.
 First relief-Capt. Fleming, Lieut.. singletary. sergt. Roberts and Corp. Rylant.
 Second relief-Capt. McMeans, Lieut.. B. H. Smith, Sergt. Wilkins and Private Peck.
 Third relief-Capt. McCray, Lieut.. Brush, Lieut.. Cooper and Private W. T. Butler.
 Alternates-Lieut. Ragsdale, Sergt. Whittie and Sergt. Butler.
 The public is invited to witness the firing of the competition every Thurs day night, beginning this week. The rifle gallery is located in the base ment of the national guard armory in the old post office building.

Wise Counsellor High

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. 16.-Blue grass fireside chat concerning three year-olds eligible for the Kentucky Derby favors Wise Counsellor to carry opening odds, around 10 to 1, when the classic is run in May, while Sara zen, the favorite of many customers, Is theoretically booked near the same price, both play or pay.
 However despite the ever-increasing derby gossip here, the bookmakers this winter have been unable to write "full' across a single page. This Is due, not to a diminishing interest in the sport of kings, but to the fact that Hast winter here the public was taken in by a certain bookmaker who never paid off and later was learned never intended to pay.
 Boy O Boy, Payman and Rinkey who have been sporting silks around New Orleans with varied success, are com- ing more into prominence here every day as being possible odds on favo- rites, not forgetting Mad Play, Braca- dale, St. James, Black Gold and others.

Flynn Wins Shoot

BILOXI. Miss. Jan. 16.-G. D. Flynn of Mobile won the Southern Mid-winter handicap, the feature event of the closing day of the shooting tourna- ment held, here, under the auspices of the Biloxi Gun club. Flynn broke 94 targets out of a possible 100.
 R. c. Rand of Jamestown, N. D., cap tured the preliminary handicap with a score of S6 out of 100, and Phil Mil Ter of Dallas, Tex, won the high gun for the entire shoot.
 Many of the marksmen who partici- pated in the tournament here will go to Houston to take part in the Prairie State shoot to be held January 21-24.

out for the squad who might have been delaying going out.
 Backs Practicing
 Already several of the backs have been practicing their bunting and passing, and Coach Wade says that in their passing. It is going to be hard task for any back to make the regular team next year; just as hard, if not harder, than it was this past season. For Baty, who graduates in June, and MacCartee, who was re- gently married, are the only varsity men not back. Captain-elect Hubert Johnston and Salmon are expected back. with Rosenfeld, Lillian. Cald- well Sparks, Collier, Estes and other freshman players also seeking a berth.
 Four lines will be chosen, but this will not be so hard a task as at one time this past year; three lines of var sity candidates on Denny field, with approximately seven lines under the freshman tent. The only linemen lost from this years squad are Clemens and Newton. All others are expected back. and "Bulr' Wesley is also ex- pected to return.
 While this spring football will be on, the cage quintet will be carrying the Crimson colors to Atlanta, Wander bilt. Chattanooga and other places. to end with the charge at Atlanta in the s. c. tournament. Alabama's s chance hinges on the return of Captain "Slim" Carter to the tip-off position. Not that Alabama is a one-man team. but 50 per cent strength will be added to the cage team if he is playing cen- ter instead of Stabler or Propst. With him at the middle berth, McGauly and Stabler at forwards, McClintock and Hudson at guards, and Propst, Mac Donald, Cohen, Anderson and Salman in reserve, Alabama has a fighting chance of copping many games this wear,

Not Holding Out

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.--Remembering their poor showing in the world series last fall, the members of the New York Giants are not holding out for higher salaries than John McGraw offers in the contracts recently mailed to his players for the season of 1924. Six con- tracts were received Wednesday. all signed by the players, without a word of argument. Some of them came back so swiftly that the envelopes were scorchedy by the friction.
 Heinie Groh. star third baseman, and Hank Gowdy, utility catcher. were the prominent players. who sent back their agreements without hesitating to quib- bie over salary. Others were received from Mcclure. Gearin, Stoner and Huntzinger. less prominent members of the troupe

Willing To Pay Tax

CHICAGO, Jan. 4S.-Baseball will continue to do it's bit to help Uncle Sam defray its wartime obligations, as far as the American league is con- cerned, President Johnson said tonight, after receiving a telegram from Walter E. Hapgood. secretary of the Roches- ter club of the International league stating that numerous amusement en- terprises were making an effort before the Mellon tax committee to have the war tax eliminated. President Johnson said he saw no, reason why baseball should not give the government all possible help and that the league would make no effort to interfere with the present tax.

dinariiy. was very good at the play. Ty Cobb is b wonder at 1t. The for mer Boston Red Sox had 1t down pat. The hit and run, think, is an ideal offensive play for college teams. leave the rest of the Questio-s open for discussiqe. If any amateur is in- terested and cant find ready answer just ask any major league ball player The Squeese PIay-Singie and Double 1. Is the squeeze play a good play in modern baseball?
 2. Do you use the squeeze play with no outs. with a weak hitter7 Good 8. Do you use it with one out and a weak batter? Good batter? M 4. Do you advise the runner to wait until the pitcher is delivering the ball or to break as in stealing home? 5. Do you advise bunting to first or 6. Why isn't the squeeze play used more. in Zig league baseball? I think have given the younger player Q few posers there. All of them though, are like the first reader to the recruits after they have been in the league for a month. The answers to mon sense.
 Griffith Given The Credit For the benefit of those who may not know definitions, the squeeze play is a runner starting for home as the pitcher throws to the batter. The bat ter bunts the ball. The runner is so close that there is no chance of get confusion; the pitcher also fails to get the batter at first.
 This first play came into general prominence with the New York Amer jeans nearly twenty years ago. Clarke Griffith was often given credit for starting 1t. don't know If that is true. All the clubs used it, and with great effect at first.
 have asked why the big leagues do not use 1t oftener. The answer to that Is that if they use 1t frequently the opposition would expect it. Any good pitcher can beat the squeeze play if he is looking for 1t. In fact, it was impossible to work the play on some pitchers.
 Afan who read a previous article has asked me to give my opinion as to the best method of beating the squeeze play. If the batter is right handed, the only sure method for the pitcher is to That will keep him from hitting the ball. and when he backs off the catcher will have a free hand and open in space in which to touch the runner as he slides In. If the ball is pitched outside--away from the batter-the catcher may be turned around so that he cannot whirl and touch the runner.
 Christy Mathewson used to say that he could beat the squeeze play any time he kept his eye on third base. If the pitcher looks at the bag as he makes his swing he can see if the run. ner has started. If he has started, all the pitcher has to do is pitch the ball hugh, outside or at the batter-any- thing to keep him from hitting it. If the batter misses the ball the squeeze play always looks ridiculous.
 It was practically impossible to work the squeeze play on Alexander.
 The squeeze play is great for sur prise, but as a regular stunt 1t falls down. When 1t does fall down, nothing in all baseball looks more stupid.
