BUICK VETERAN
LIST SHOWS 49
70 YEAR MEDALS

FLINT, Mich, Feb Am inter
eating process to be noted in the
automotive industry is the growth
OF what might be termed pride Of
craftsmanship, such as has been as
sociateG in the past with furniture
manufacture. wa nmaking and q
few other Fines of creative work.
Figures compiled by the personal
service department of the Buick
Motor company indicate that 3071
OF Bucks employees have been with
the company more than five years,
and several hundred other employees
have devoted their time and skill
to the manufacture of Bucks. for
more than three times that period.
The fact that pursuit Of a single
calling for SO long a time can not
but cultivate pride in the result
ing product would indicate, Buick
oificiais believe. that a development
strongly resembling that Of the old
fashioned guild, whose primary
characteristic was expertness, is SO
ing on in this giant newcomer
among industries.
Zen years is not long time in
textiles, IN steel. or in any one Of
dozen or more lines OF productive
work. II Is a long time in the
automotive industry, aa the develop.
ments of the last 10 years indicate.
The car Of 1918 was vastly diff
ferent affair, both in appearance
and in performance, from that Of
1928. And one of the factors con.
tributing to the improvement is
the increasing skill OF the antonio
bile worker, resulting from contin-
ued application to his job.
The worker who has remained
with one manufacturer for so long
as 10 years is no longer rare. Some
of the older manufacturers boast
hundreds of such men. Buick has
on its payroll 923 men who have
completed their tenth consecutive
year with Buick, and 3O71 who
have finished five years. Almost
1000 of its workers have been with
Buick more than 10 years. Three
hundred nine have their 15-year
service pins; 40 their 20-year pins,
and two have rounded out their full
quarter-century.

Soutar insists the dance is so per

event. The fact that it will be held
at the golf club in golf atmosphere
adds IS per cent more. George said:
"You see the team match is only

lust Bit of Paper Former
Champ TeStifieS in
Court.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY


NEW YORK, April 24-"Just a
I piece of paper, and it never meant
anything to either of u.s."
That's Jack Dempsey's estimation
of the contract on which Jack
Kearns bases his suit for one third
Of Dempsey's earnings in 1926. AS
the trial went into its third day, Ar
thur T. Driscoll, chief counsel for
Dempsey, attempted to prove to the
jury that Dempsey's valuation of
the contract is correct and that the
former champion does not owe
Kearns any of the $534,360 for
which the latter is suing.
The plaintiff rested its case late
Monday and Dempsey won a brief
victory when Federal Judge John
G. Knox dismissed the first cause
of action pertaining to the proposed
Dempsey-Wills bout, which never
materialized.
The amount sought by Kearns as
his share of the proposed Wills bout
was $166, 666.66, reducing the total
sum now to $534,360, instead of the
original $701 ,O26.6o.
Dempsey, testifying In his own
defense, said the only reason he
ever signed the contract with
Kearns was "to keep Doc out Of
trouble" 1t had previously been
shown that Kearns signed Demp-
sey's signature to the contract
which was filed with the boxing
commission to establish Kearns as
Dempsey's manager.
"I never considered it a contract
and never called it a contract"
Dempsey said on cross examination
81 signed a piece of paper, tracing
my name over the one Kearns had
written. The contract didn't mean
anything and we continued to split
fifty-ffty and not as the contract
specified, 662 -3 and 33 1-3."

doesn't seem to have any particular
weakness. He is greatly feared by
American League pitchers and, con-
sequently, is a player, who, from an
offensive angle, very necessary to
the lineup of the Indians. He, at
present, has the job.
II
1t was four years ago I first saw
Hodapp at Plant City, Fla, as
an infieIder with the indianapolis
team. At that time L marveled
at his fielding far more than his
batting. I predicted major
league career for him within a
year and he made good for me.
Cleveland, in 1925, purchased him
for something like $4,000.
TN his first year in the majors
Il Hcdapp suffered a broken leg
and while the doctors say the limb
is as good as ever, it apparently has
had a certain detrimental effect on
his fielding. One still finds Johnny
li1nping a bit, although he tells you
the leg bothers him in no way. Pos
sibly, it has slowed him up a trif1e
and that in turn hasn't helped him
in the field.
Despite this handicap, Hodapp
measures up to major league STAN
dards as an infielder and, Of course,
has the inside track to the third
base job.
In his case, I often wonder if psy-
chology hasn't played part in
making him an outstanding bats
man and, in a like manner, if it
has handicapped his fielding. Last
winter when I signed him to a
Cleveland contract and informed
him he was the reguler third sacker
on the club, Johnny modestly re-
piled:
Thanks for the confidence you
have in me. I feel T can bat in any
mans league. You can bet your
ball club I will hit 300 If I felt
as positive about my fielding ability,
your worries about a third baseman
would be over"
Il
In other words, Johnny H0dapp
thinks he is a 800 batsman and
there is no doubt as to the cor
rectness of that belief. In like
manner. he is not as confident as
to his fielding and that depart
ment of play suffers because of it.
Il It Il
THE season of 1923 is the big test
4 forJohnny Hodapp, perhaps the
turning point in his career. I feel
he will prove equal to it and prove
one of the most valuable guardians
of the difficult corner in the majors.
He needs only to transfer some of
his batting confidence to his field
ing.
On the other hand, Cleveland
boasts one of the best fielding third
basemen in Eddie Montague I have
ever seen in action, if early training
is fair criterion. He does anything
and everything well in the field. His
batting ability remains to be proved.
If you could roll Johnny Hodapp
and Eddie Montague into one, what
a whale of a third sacker would re-
suit!
