JOE JACKSON
NEVER SAW HIS
OWN CONTRACT

Milwaukee, Jan. 3l.-- Although he
signed contract calling for $4,000
Il year for three years with the Chi
cago club of the American League,
Joe Jackson, who is suing that or
ganiZation for SIS, 800 in circuit court
here, testified that he never received
u copy of the contract.
jackson was on the stand virtually
the entire day, under direct and
cross examination, and told of the
manner in which he signed three
year contract in 1920, under which
ne alleges the sum for which he
brought suit is due him. The con-
tract, he testified, was said not to
contain the ''tcn day clause
During today's trial, Jackson told
of Il conversation he had with Harry
Grabiner, secrc tary of the club, rela-
tive to the $4,000 which he received
from Pitcher Lefty Williams, part of
the money which was paid Williams
by Il group of gamblers for throwing
the 1919 worlds series to Cincinnati.
jackson asked the secretary what
he should do with the money and
testified he was told ''as long as that
bunch of buns used your name, you
did the only sensible thing in keep
ing it." Jackson said he told the
secretary if he had mot been so
mean to him on previous occasions,
he would have told him all about

ELMER SMITH
BY BILLY EVANS

Heroes are made and fade quickly
in baseball.
Harkcn back to the world series Of
1920 for proof.
The fifth game of that series be
tween Brooklyn and Cleveland was
the most remarkable contest have
ever seen. 1t viii go down in base
ball history az one of the most UNI
usual games ever played.
Cleveland won the game, to |.
The. score would make it seem that
it lacked thrills, yet the contrary
was true. 1t was Il contest that fair
~ bri5tlcd with brilliant plays and
record breaking feats.
The three heroes of that game
were Cleveland playeio, Pitcher jim
Bagby, Outfielder Elmer Smith and
Second Baseman Bill Wambsganns.
Pitcher Jim Bagby won that game
by the lopsided score Of S to !, de-
spite the fact that Brooklyn made
t. hits, one more than Cleveland. In
reality, Bagby deserved shutout
which would have been a fitting
climax to a freak game.
Deserved A ShutOut
BrOoklyn's lone run of the game
came with two down in the ninth. A
dinky infield grounder that should
have been an easy out took Il bad
bound at the last moment, causing

Jones warm up. He was scheduled
to go against the Tigers that after
noon. 1t was Il nice compliment that
Cobb paid him.
A few weeks later Jones certainly
made good the praise that Cobb had
heaped upon him by pitching Il no
hit game against the Athletics. In
the world series between the Giants
and the Yankees last year Jones
pitched Il four-hit classic, despite the
fact that he suffered | to 0 defeat.
Casey Stcngel's homer into the right
field bleachcrs decided the issue.
A change of pace is the greatest
asset Il pitcher can possibly have in
these days of the lively ball and the
slashaway tactics. Control and q
change of pace over Il multitude OF
pitching sins.
Only last summer Walter Johnso,
remarked to me that the one rea
mistake he made in his pitching ca
reer was the failure to develop (;
slow ball about 70 years soone,
than he mastered it. Johnson, dur
ing the carly years of his career
depended entirely on his terrifi
speed. Not until he found his fas
one losing some of its zip" did h,
go in for Il slow ball. No bette
example of what good slow bal
means to Il pitcher could be offerc,

Extra Weight Is

BY NEA Service

10y oNINtSC
Cincinnati, Jan. 3f.-Pete Donahuc
of the Cincinnati Reds is one OF the
games greatest pitchers His only
failing is lack of strength, for Pete
is a rather frail chap. He is CON
stantly trying to remedy his one
failing.
When Donahue reported to the
Reds, direct from Texas college,
the experts said he would never do,
wasn't strong enough to stand the
big league strain.
1t didn't take Donahue long to
prove that he was a real pitcher,
even if he wasn't an iron man physi-
cally. Realizing that Donahue would
be of much more value to the Reds
with 10 or Is pounds added to his
frame he is taking life easy on the
coast at the expense of the Cincinna-
tt club, SO the story goes.
Manager Moran has received word
from Donahue that the balmy eli
mate of California and the life of a
retired millionaire is putting on
many extra pounds of weight, SO
much desired. t5A

Hams Can Field; Hendricks Can Hit

Manager Miller Higgins Of the
New York Yankees is up against a
rather peculiar position relative to
his outfield material. Here it is:
In Hinkic Haines, former Penn
State College football and baseball
star, Higgins has a great prospect
Haines is 4 great outfieder right
now. He can go as far as any man
in either major league and get d fly
ball in the most approved fashion.
He has mighty good arm, and on
the bases is as fast az Il breeze. The
only trouble with Haines is getting
on the bases. The old saying is you
can't steal first base. While Hanes
is not that weak batsman, he has
yet to definitely prove that he can
consistently hit major league pitch
ing.
On the other hand in Hendricks,
who by the way, was a former Van
derbilt University star athlete, Hug
gins has one of the greatest natural
hitters to break into the major lea
CUES in years. A big husky left hand
er, Henricks, although used only as
Il pinch hitter, has already won the
respect Of the American League hurl-
ers. But after you mention hitting
ability, you must pass on Hendricks.
AS fielder Hendricks at present
is simply impossible. Any time a fly
ball is hit in his direction fears are
expressed for his safety. Higgins,
however, has great hopes for Hen
bricks. Harry Heilmann, when he
joined Detroit, was no great shucks
as Il fielder, now few in the Ameri
can League has a thing on him.
If Hendricks could field like
Haines, Higgins would have two
of the great outfielders in the coun-
try.

GERMANS WANT
TO EMIGRATE
TO AMERICA
With Quota Filled, They Are
Now Turning Eyes to
Other Countries

Hamburg, Jan. 31.--Canada, South
America and Russia are the three
countries toward which prospective
German emigrants are turning their
eyes since the United States quota
became exhausted. H
Steamship Offices are today besieg-
cd by disappointed Germans who had
planned to go to America. Many Of
them had sold their farm utensils.
their household goods and even their
personal effects to raise money Tor
the trip. It. is impossible for them
to wait in Germany till the new
Americans quota opens next July, and
most of them are determined 10 go
somewhere. ,.
eve can't be worse off than We are
in Germany" is the universal reply
they make when emigration officials
caution them it is not wise to Jump
into some unknown land without
funds and with no friends to look
after them.
Many Germans seem obsessed at
the present time BY the idea that
they must leave the fatherland. This
is especially true of young men, who
insist they can see no future for
them at home, and it applies particu-
larly to clerks, teachers, stenograph-
ers, government employees and other
white collar" workers. Such per-
sons are not encouraged to emigrate,
but household servants and farm La
borers are. 'rt =,
Emigration to Russia is not enconr-
aged. A few German scouts are 60
ing to that country to look over the
situation with view to locating
colonies of farmers, especially in
Siberia, but the average German pea
SAINT has little enthusiasm for the
movement. Many Germans who were
colonized in Russia before the wal
have, returned home and told of the
way they were treated when theil
land was taken and their crops con
fiscated. The newspapers have pub
lished this information, and it ha:
dampened the enthusiasm for life un
der q Communist regime.
The government maintains spe
cial office to deal with those VIII
would leave the country. 1t is pn

Gals who can give advice about al
