MAL0NEY WANTS
fight OUTDOORS
Refuses to Meet Pauline on
March Is for Business Reasons

New York. Feb. 2S (UP)-Tex
Richards plans to match Jim
Naloney, Boston heavyweight and
Pauline, the Spanish strong boy, for
another number of his elimination
tournament on March o5 have met
with an unexpected obstacle.
Dan Carroll, Maloney's manager,
admitted to the writer that he would
not consider another big indoor
fight against any opponent. making
it clear that he took that stand for
business reasons only.
Il think Pauline would be a
cinch for Maloney and so does Jim
but we don't want to sacrifice any
more money by fighting indoors, ="
he said. I'VE think we played ball
by accepting the Delaney match in
side when we could have gotten
twice as much in ball park. We
accepted that match to prove Ma
loney was serious III his ambition to
become the champion and that he
was not out for money alone"
Carroll and Richard conferred
Saturday but 1t was understood no
definite terms were discussed Rick
ard merely wanting to know if Ma

Babes pay check"
While reporters attempted to con-
vince the Colonel OF the contrary,
he refused steadfastly to discuss
prices" He did admit however,
that there might be some change"
in Babes playing agreement for the
coming season. As to the size OF
the change, RUPERT said: III

he reaches here. You can't do much

Ruth demanding the record salary
in addition to a two year contract
and refund of $7,700 extracted from
past checks in the form of fines. He
said he had not heard from Ruth
since last fall. The latter is now on
the way east from California where
he has just finished his part in a
motion picture.
When a copy of the letter was
shown him, Rupert unused: It's

date.
Richard has Maloney under con-
tract to go through the eliminations
but he intimated he wouldn't force
him to accept a date that he didn't
like.
I'm going to see Carroll again
this week" he said. II haven't
made any definite plans and will not
have until the match between Jack
Sharkey and Mike McTigue has been
/ decided"
If Sharkey should decline another
indoor match-and he no doubt will
have the same objections that Ma
loney's manager has-Rickard will
have to look for another opponent
for Pauline. Mike McTigue. accord
ing to his manager. Jimmy Johnston
will take the match.
While the debut OF Pauline was
a thing of Joy to the Spanish colony
in New York, 1t did not have much
effect upon the elimination calcula-
tons.
Fight critics generally decided
that Pauline will not do and that
the elimination could proceed very
well without him.
The only attributes OF a fighter he
possesses are ruggedness and will
ingness. His victory over Knute
Hansen served only to prove the
contention that Hansen has every
thing but heart.
Pauline Is too easy to hit and he
is too slow to succeed against a
hard hitting big man with speed. 1t
is far from certain that Maloney or
Sharkey. Jack Dempsey or Tunney
could knock him cold, but any of
them might cut him to pieces, blind
him and stop him.
The Spaniard, of course, has made
a strong appeal to Richards in
stincts as a sportsman and even If
the wood chopper doesn't get far
along toward a title he will make a
lot of money because he is a crowd
pleaser.
He has all the color and the raw
equipment OF Firpo and has even
more personality than the Wild Bull.
Richard probably will take him
under his wing as he did Firpo.

SCIENTIFIC STUDY
OF HIGH JUMPING
Anton Burg Says One Must Have
knowledge Of Mathematics

Chicago. Feb. % P-One must
mediate over mathematics and be
cognizant of calculus if he hopes to
high jump to a new record. Anton
Burg OF the University OF Chicago
says so. And he ought to know, for
at the Illinois carnival Saturday
he high jumped six feet five and
record.
Burg explained that mass and
momentum must be considered and
computed. Then there is the dis
lance to be travelled, the angle of
approach, the change OF angle as
the bar Is raised and the computa-
ton Of the center Of gravity and
the manner OF maintaining it while
hurting through the air.
Burg, who Is captain of the Chica-
go track team. said that his right
arm weighs approximately 12A
pounds and AZ pounds from elbow
to wrist, when held at a certain
angle from his body. With a differ
ent angle for the crook of his elbow
his center of gravity would be main
tanned at such an such O. place.
Burg said he figured that by
using the same formula to ascertain
the proper angles for his body, his
legs and his head. he could attain
exactly the right center of gravity
which would permit him to add the
few inches needed to high jump to
new records.
But mathematics is not everything
in Burg's rules on how to become
high jumper. At the mathematics
building at the University of Chica-
go there are 10 steps leading from
the first floor to the second. Every
day Burg uses three leaps to go up.
covering four steps on his first leap,
five on his second and four on the
third.
One must have Spring" to be a
high jumper. Burg holds, and he
chooses to combine his with mathe-

Genes Hopes Of Revenge on

sistent challenger yesterday. eight
UP and seven to play to a - hole
match.
Sarazen, starting in flash OF
form. rapidly lost his pace and
Hagen by persistent drives forced
his lead to eight at the start of the
final eighteen holes yesterday.
Hagen laid back and waited for
Gene to produce his game. but the
one time champion could not get
started. He managed to take the
first and fourth but as they halved
other holes Sarazen's chances were
diminished.
A great gallery, including several
major league baseball players, lined
the fairway of the long eleventh as
Hagen sent his brassie second fifteen
feet past the flag and holed the
putt for birdie four. Sarazen,

past the cup.
Sink 1t Gene" said a friendly
voice from the gallery.
I'll have to- Sarazen replied, he
missed.
Competitive spirits were more In
evidence throughout the match
than essentially good golf, though
Hagen had one run of nine holes in
par figures and maintained a pre-
cision and suggestion OF power
which Sarazen lacked. Counting
the bye holes played out for the
benefit of the gallery. Sarazen had
medal score for the last eighteen
OF 81 and Hagen six strokes better.
Hagen, well pleased with the re-
suit, nevertheless disclaimed any
marked superiority. Good fellowship
prevailed when the amens were said
II couldn't beat him this time
said Gene.
The match Melted $4,000 in gate
