BYKIRK MILLER - 4

The hot stove league of the
winter Of 1928-1929 just about
comes to close today with the
National League meeting in
New York.
A few final shovels of fuel
will be tossed on the seething
furnace by those who hang
around the lobby of the Wal
dorf, and then the old blaze will
be allowed to die out. Before the
last smouldering embers have
spent their energy in keeping
warm the hearts of the fans
for 10! these many months, the
great hegira southwark will
have commenced, and instead of
existing on artificial respiration,
the baseball bug will have ten
der green reports coming up
from the tropics, telling of his
favorites afield.
There has been little over the
winter months to stir the dia-
mond dreamer from his reverfes.
In fact the off season has been.
marked by the lack of ripples
on the news horizon. The al
legged baseball scandal in Bos-
ton was purely local in the Hub
City, being more matter of
city politics than of national
baseball interest.
No resounding interchange of
vituperations twixt Judge Lam
dis and Ban Johnson helped to
spice the interim, nor was there
anything approaching the inter-
est caused a couple of winters
ago when Ty Cobb and Iris
Speaker were the targets cf ac-
cusations by a little handful of
wilful and disgruntled cast-offs
of the game.
The biggest trade Of the dull
period was engineered right
here from Washington and Clark
Griffith got the maximum of at
tention focused on that by drag
ging the debate all the way
from Toronto to Washington,
thence to Chicago and back
again to the National Capital.
He then broke down and con
fessed he was trading five for
one, and at this writing he
hasn't been able to lead that
one, Buddy Myer, up to the
trough which holds the ink that
embosses his contracts.
True, there has been some
hold0ut chatter centered around
Gordon Cochrane, the Waner
Brothers, Dazzy Vance, Goose
Goslin and one or two others,
who will sooner or later realize
they are only holding out
against themselves, but alto
gether, the fans have spent
very lean winter, and will be
welcoming anything which smat-
ters of combat afield
Time was when the baseball
magnates themselves saw to it
that the focus of the fan was
not permitted to wander from
the game twixt seasons, but
baseball has grown up since

A. j. TIVE PLAYS
COLON|ALS

History might repeat itself in the
American University-George Wash
ington basketball game scheduled
tonight at S:30 o'clock in the Metho-
dists' gym on Massachusetts, Ave
nue.. For the past two seasons. the
Colonials have stopped the Eagles
on the 4. L. court but the Metho-
dists tripped the Downtowners on
the G. w. floor.
George Washington supporters
are pointing TO this precedent which
they maintain viii not be inter.
rupted, at least tonight They also
point out that Catholic University
scored a surprising victory over
the Eagles and that the Colonials
can duplicate this feat.
Maud Crum, G. w. coach, IS
undecided as to his starting
lineup, but he may stick to his
original five. This includes
Reds" Allsh0use and Irwin
Fine, forwards; Bill Snow, GEN.
ter, and Bob Gray and Bud
Barrow. guards.
Coach Burton Shipley's Maryland
University basketers will attempt to
check the unvanquished Washing
ton and Lee quint tonight in a game
at Lexington, Va. The Generals
upset the Terrapins at College Park
Saturday night. and the Shipleymsn
crave atonement. Maryland, which
remains iii Lexington to tackle v.
NJ |. tomorrow night. fell before
v. p. /. by a 1929 tally last night.
Catholic University lost a S1-1S
contest to Mt. ST. Mary's last night
in the c. U. gym, the Cardinals
failing to tally from the field during
the first half. A firebrand, named
Joe Walsh, lighted the dead spirits
of the c. u. PLAYERS and they forced
the issue in the closing chapter,
hat it was too late.

SOnnenberg Disables
Foe and Wins Easily

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Gus Son
nenberg, Of Boston, subdued Howard
Cantonwine, of Iowa. In 81 minutes
and 5S seconds at Madison Square
Garden last night and retained his
heavyweight wrestling champion
ship. The former Dartmouth foot
bali player knocked Cantonwine un-
conscious with flying tackle and
the deadlock which clinched his
victory was merely a formality.
Cantonwine threw Sonnenberg
over the ropes twice, but missed
many other tackles.

those days. Perhaps the mag
mates feel the game is too digni-
fled now to lend itself TO bally-
hoo, If there is no news, they
make no effort to manufacture
it.
There are those who charge
that John Heydler's suggestion
about 10-nen ball clubs was
only a gesture to create chatter
during the idle season, but,
Heydler has declared many
times since he was sincere about
it. and even predicts the day
will come when his plan will be
in effect wherever baseball is
played.
Fred Pelzman, Washington
haberdasher, is something more
than a baseball fan. He is a
letter enthusiast, particularly
when the letters come from per-
formers in the national pastime.
We dropped in his place to get
a button matched for our over
coat, and Fred exhibited winter
communications from a dozen or
so players whose names may be
familiar to you.
Pelzman gets his baseball
chatter straight off the cuff,
therefore, from such as Lloyd
Brown, Ossie Bluege, Bobby
Reeves, Stuffy Stewart, Roger
Peckinpaugh, Mel Simons, Curly
Ogden, Buddy Myer, Clyde
Milan, Alvin Crowder and Joe
Cronin. What an album OF
signatures that is!
And speaking of Crowder, he
is not satisfied with $4,000 in
crease in salary per year. That
was the amount of the raise the
Browns offered him and Alvin
didn't stop to read the figures
twice before returning the con-
tract. At that, he may have
some kick coming, as he won 21,
and lost but 5 games last sea-
son. You know ball player
has to get it following good
wear, not after lean ones. How
many young men of % sum-
mers, though, are turning down
$4,000 raises? Answer that one!

stick unless Elliott. an unknown
who was drafted from Waco, proves
below standard.
However. there will be plenty of
other players accompanying the
varsity boys to the camp. Arrange
ments have been made to have a
flock of extra pitchers, catchers,
outfielders and infielders on the
job to assist i'm the training work.
1t takes plenty of batting practice

proper AMOUNT of swinging. Branch
Hickey has notified 10 hurlers from
the various Cardinal farms to be
on the job. He will have four extra
catchers to help handle their shoo' $
and four extra shortstops. Five ad-
ditional outfielders will help shag
the flies.
The only individual at the
camp i'm whom the Cardinals
are even remotely interested Is

Southworth believes Watkins will
hit 800 in any league. He boosted
the rookie highly on the occasion
of signing his managerial contract
and his description of Watkins so
impressed the local officials that
they ordered the young man to
Avon Park.
Manager Bill Southworth has
placed himself on the active list
of st. Louis players for the coming
season. Southworth doesn't consider
himself all washed up as ball
player even though he did slip from
the Cardinals to the minors year
ago.
Southworth will probably appear
