EARNSHAW IS
VICTOR IN lST
New Athletic Hurler
Turns In so Win
Over Red Sox
CBy The Associated Press)

Another one Of Jack Dunn's boys
has con through in the major
leagues.
George Earnshaw. right handed
fast ball expert, who came to Connie
Mack's Philadelphia Athletics several
weeks ago, pitched her first big time
victory Thursday, defeating the Bos-
ton Red Sox. 3 TO O..
Baltimore long has been noted as a
fertile field for the reaping Of base
ball stars, especially pitchers. Dunn,
manager Of the Orioles from time inn
memorial, Is the Wilbert Robinson OF
the minor leagues. He has a knack
for developing moundsmen. It's a prof
liable accomplishment too for major
league clubs separate Jack from his
pitchers only by subjecting their
pOcketbooks to severe punishment.
Usually though the initial cost
has been found TO be well worth while
In 1925. Mack paid Baltimore more
than $4,000 for Robert Moses
Grove, who fires the fastest left-hanG
ball in captivity. and Connie prob
ably never has regretted il.
Earnshaw has had a tough time
getting started in the big leagues.
His first victory did not come until
he had made six false starts. but
when he finally crashed through II
was with a vengeance.
No other American league games
were scheduled and rain washed out

NEW Y0RK.-(Pl-If. as is gener-
ally expected, the United States
again carries off the Olympic track
and field championship at Amster-
dam this summe it will be due
principally to the prowess OF the
sons OF Uncle Sam who jump, vault
and toss various implements around.
In other words, the deciding factor
will be strength in the field and not
on the track. The same method OF
concentrating on Drawn that has en-
abled California colleges 10 clean up
eastern championships will be en-
ployed BY the American team in its
efforts TO clean up the Olympics.
IL is more spectacular 10 win the
l00-meter dash or some other track
feature, bat it produces no more
points than a victory in the shotput
or discus, where the competitors toll
with few ii any plaudits.
-Four years ago., while little Fin
land was busy romping off with all
the running laurels in sight from
] 500 meters up 10 the marathon, the
American huskies went out and
clinched the Olympic title. capturing
seven Of the ten field events. The
only individual American victory on
the track was. in the 200 meters BY

RICHARD MAY
BUY GIANTS
IS RUMORED
Brown ~Speculates AS
To Effect on Team
Should Tex Obtain
Control of Club
BY NORMAN E. BROWN
Staff Writer for Central Press and
The Herald

Inc nerald
Tex Richard may buy the Giants.
That's the latest titbit handed out
for the baseball fans.
Perhaps not Richard personally,
but his Madison Square Garden syn
dicate.
offhand this is a startling ru-
NOR.
But one angle Of the suggested
step must not be overlooked.
That is the necessity of obtaining
from the moguls Of the National
league the ratification of such a
deal.
The club owners must place their
approval on any transaction Of this
kind.
In view of Richards present activi-
ties in the boxing game, they might
well weigh the advisability of plac-
ing one of the major league clubs
in the hands Of a man who would
be continually torn between two
loves-that Of drawing a rofit out
Of baseball and that of using the
same holdings to promote a pastime
that is, in a measure, challenging
the popularity of baseball. and which
is constantly under fire from many
angles.
Major league moguls still recall
quite wildly the disastrous results
Of admitting a theatrical promoter
TO the ranks Of the club owners.
He not only wrecked the ball club
he acquired, but was directly respon-
sible for the present power the
Yankees hold in the American

league-a power that threatens 10
rock the leagues existence.
That man was Harry FraZee.
Frazee took time enough from MS
Broadway show hits to purchase
mostly with paper-the Boston Red
Sox.
The player deals with the New
York club followed, and they gave
the Yankees the nucleus Of the team
that started an almost interrupted
reign Of the American league.
The trades were made with no
thought Of the result from the Bos-
ton end. Babe Ruth was sold for
sl25.OOO and Herb Pennock, Waite
Hoyt, Wally Schang, Joe Dugan,
Muddy Ruel, Sam Jones, Carl Mays
and George Pipgras went the same
way.
After wrecking the Boston club TO
the point where il became the tail
end of the league-there to remain
for an extended period-Frazee was
finally relieved of his holdings.
Richard and his ssociates have
the financial resources TO purchase
the Giants-granted that the sale
price runs over 100000 as sug-
gested-and have no fear Of any
financial slumps that the vagaries
Of the gam might bring to the
Giants.
This may not, in itself, enthuse
the moguls.
There are a number of wealthy
sportsmen who have long sought an
opportunity TO break into the base
ball business and many of these
might well draw more favor in the
eyes OF the present National league
heads than Richard, because Of their
known interest in the game and
their desire TO break into il more
as a hobby" because Of that in
terest in il, than as an out and
out business proposition.
