Babe Ruth GiUes His Dollar
Toward Ross Young
Memorial

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.--Subscrip-
tons for the Ross Young Memorial
to be placed on the right field wall
at the Polo Grounds next season,
continue to come into the Giants
headquarters and a stable amount
is probable before the books are
closed. The latest to enroll as q
subscriber is another player who
has starred in the same outfield
position as Young, and for q time
performed at the Polo Grounds.
Babe Ruth made personal call
at the Giants office yesterday and
left 81, which is the most any in-
dividual may subscribe. Babe was
anxious to make larger donation
but was told that it couldn't be
done.
Another donation which has
been particularly pleasing to those
behind the fund was So sub.
scription from the Welfare League
at Sing Sing. AS this represented
a group, rather than an individual,
the amount was acceptable.

GENE GIVES
ADVICE To
BOXERS
by Gene Tunney
world Heavyweight Champlon

II + y s7 =
Every time q young fellow Of
promise Is developed in the outlay
ing districts, he is urged by well
meaning friends to take the first
train for New York and get in the
big money without further loss OF
time. Nothing that ! know Of could
be more fatal to his chances Of sue
cess in the ring.
If 1T Is worth anything. my advice
to these embryonic headliners IL
herewith offered. 1t Is to remain
exactly where they are for a period
of not less than two years. while
they obtain, under conditions with
which they are thoroughly familiar,
the experience that means the Off
ference between novitiate and COM
petitive seniority.
New York, strictly, In d town Of
the quick turn over. it wants 20
suits overnight and smart promoters
have found it expedient to see that
the town gets them. The young
fighter from the smaller towns in al
probability would find himself asked
to take on some fighter who knows
too much for him. The result is
that the visiting youth often Il set
hack in his development by a mat
ter Of several years, If he isn't 80
discouraged that he abandons the
sport altogether.
This Unsuitable demand Of the
New York public for immediate
results is felt In other lines Of
sport, too. One either delivers
at the first opportunity or one
moves ON to make room for the
next hero or victim. as the case
may prove to be.
John McGraw has traded or sold
many players who later became
stars elsewhere. He knew they
were good prospects but he had 70
have the finished artist or virtually
prepare to close up shop.
The stock example cited by these
optimistic friends OF young fighters
particularly heavyweights. il that
of the man-mountain, Firpo, the
shaggy specimen with fearsoms
mien who sprang from obscurity to
fame within a comparative few
months.
They win quote this case Of the
penniless stranger from the Argen-
tine who arrived with an extra col
lar and toothbrush, did his first
training in a musty cellar over In
Jersey and within trifie more than
a year was within a blow OF the
heavyweight championship. And
they viii do It very glibly, almost
convincingly. But they will not
prove that 1t can be- done again.
My personal opinion is that q
not only cannot but will not be
done again. There is only one Fifpo
for this life just as there ID only
one Matterhorn, one Mont Blanc,
one Poet Laureate, and any number
OF instances of greatness. equally
appropriate. In his own crude way.
Firpo was as much q personality
as the great portrait painter is
with his palette and brush.

This writer is particularly re-
lieved at the going of iris
Speaker, not because Of any
animosity toward the veteran,
for indeed he has long been
one of our few baseball idols,
but for the mere fact we viii
not have to answer all next
summer the old gag about
Speaker being brought to WASH
ington to succeed Bucly Harris
as manager of the Griffmen.
There was a time around
Washington last year when
your ordinary fan would look
at you as if he thought you a
bit goofy, that is to say ac-
tually ratty under the hat, if
you denied that Harris was
about to climb down from the
local saddle and turn over the
reins to the former Cleveland
pilot.
If one person propounded the
theory of Speaker being Harris
immediate successor, thousands
did. To many fans it seemed
the most natural thing in the
world, despite repeated denials
from club officials. For =
time there in midseason when
the fortunes of the team were
not taking. such brilliant turns,
the rumor simply wouldn't be
downed.
With some unreasoning fans,
the wish was the daddy of the
thought. Getting a couple of
pennants in a row sort of turned
their giddy heads and they
wished to displace young man
ager who had grabbed PEN
nants two years out of three
with an aging team for one
who had figured in a world
series one year out of seven.
Well, we won't hear the
Speaker Harris yarn any more
and furthermore we won't have
to deny it again, albeit, we did
so until blue in the face during
some very torrid spells last
summer.
This is not to say Speaker
would not make a good man.
ager. On the other hand he
should. He knows baseball
both ways from the middle, can
handle men, and certainly be-
longs in basebah's sphere-but
when he was being nominated
locally the nominators were
simply out of order, that's all.
The New York Giant camp is
to be loaded down with bene-
diets this spring. Andy Reese

ready taken the plunge and

It looks like tough scrap from
here out in the District League
pennant race. Convention Hall,
which was leading by a comfort
able margin a month or so ago, has
been whipped in its last two sets
and is now tied with the King Pin
for the top rung.
Convention Hall, on paper, was
tagged as the winner even before
the season opened, having on it's
team five of the ten high ranking
bowlers Of the city.
Luck has been against the Hall in
that its pins have been unevenly
distributed over the games. For
instance, in both of It's last two
matches Convention Hall out
bowled the enemy total pins out
dropped two games.
Cornell Lunch dealt Convention
Hall wicked blow, winning $40 to
533 and $40 to E73 but losing the
final, sos to 529. It was the same
lineup. rolling under a different
name, that knocked the King Pins
out Of first place last season.
Curb Cafes bunch. of young
sters took third place in the
whitewashing the latter last
night. Curb Cafe tOtalIed 1,724
and earned its victory. Max
Rosenberg was high with 394.
Convention Hall, even If it loses
the pennant, will have won worth
while distinction. that of being one
of the greatest road teams in the
long and brilliant history of the
District League. The Hall lineup
has yet to lose a game away from
home. Its SO straight victories on
foreign alleys may he a record.
That AT set of Brad Mandley's
the other night was the first he has
rolled in the 400" class. Brad
has come close to the coveted
mark many times.
Paul Harrison's Az was his sec.
ond big one this season. This Curb
Cafe youngster certainly is headed
for a high place among the stars.
Parker Lodge, which led the great
Masonic League for a spell, is
tumbling rapidly, having lost IL
OF it's last Is games. It's only
three wins during the losing streak
came by way of forfeit
A cut in its handicap, caused by
the signing of two strong bowlers,
hurt Parker Lodge.
The seasons outstanding bit OF
anchor bowling was done recently
by Lee Brown, OF Washington Cen.
tenniaI in the Masonic League
against Potomac. Brown needed
81 pins in the last box to give his
team a victory. He made a triple
header!

PRESIDENT
MAY AID

President Coolidge il expected
today to receive an appeal from
Representatives Hamilton Fisk, Of
New York, and Fred Britten, Of
Illinois, with reference to the Army
Navy football ebreech. With vol
untary arbitration a failure, exec
utive action is the last resort.
Followers of the controversy
point to the precedent Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in averting a SINH
lar crisis merely by expressing his
wish for patching up differences.
The weight of Presidential opinion
was further demonstrated in 1925
when Mr.. Coolidge's wishes over
rode objections of both academies
in sending the game to Chicago.
The situation is so tense that
unless executive action is forth
coming at once both academies
are ready to sign contracts for
the open date.
It is known that the Navy with
held final signature to q contract
with Princeton for a game in Phila-
delphia, hoping for the reconciliation
that was dashed by Winans' tele-
gram today. The Army is expected
to sign at once with Nebraska or
some other strong Mid-Western
school.
While spokesman for the Army
and the Navy today took the stand
that there was no hope of healing
the breach between the two service
academies and getting them to-
gether for football game next
fall, the prospect of a continuation
of the contests remained with the
knowledge that President Coolidge
told friends he, as Commander in
Chief of the Army and Navy, would
take hand in the game if neces-
sary.
1t was confidently expected
the President would make All
eleVenth-hOur move.
It was stated at the White House
that President Coolidge had taken
no part in the dispute. 1t was said
the Presidents knowledge of the
dispute was confined to what he
had seen in the newspapers.
Maj. Gen. Charles p. Summerall,
chief of staff off the Army, has
taken an active interest in efforts
to patch differences and has init
mated that word from the Presi.
dent will be sufficient ground to
override the refusal of Winans and
reopen the field to arbitration.
