CHICAGO SPORTS
WANT A PROFIT
ON INVESTMENT

CHICAGO, Dee. il. U.n)--lu
rather an uncertain condition since
Paddy Harmon resigned as presi
dent, affairs of the Chicago stadium,
the $7,000,000 sports arena which
hasn't been sin the black" since it
was built. were expected to be
ironed out somewhat today with the
appointment of a general manager.
Harmon was asked to resign sew
Cral days ago. He did. Then Sid
ney Strotz took up the running of
the building and he too has been
asked to resign. Presumably he
turned in his resignation rs active
manager.
1t is definitely known that sew
eral millionaires who took part in
the erection of the building want
TO see some one in charge of it who
can make money. Harmon was in
a fair way toward making money
hut was requested to step out and
let some one else try his hand.
Paddy owns 1919 per cent of the
stock and did mob go ou: without
Il fight. Rumor has it now that he
has lined up enough additional
stock to cause trouble in the run
ming of the affairs of the building.
just what will be the outcome is
speculative. 1t has been reported
that the affair has simmered down
TO 4 point where one of two men
will get the management.
But call it civic affair if YOU
want and believe also that the mil
lionaires connected with the build
ing were acting on civic principles
the fact seems to remain that said
millionaires have demanded a profit
making proposition.

BALL MACNATES
DISCUSS FUTURE
OF LIVELY BALL
Many Agree Too Much
Pep In Present Type
Used I'm Majors.
BY GEORGE KTRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Dec. II. U.p)-The
"lively ball' controversy has been
brought up again at the annual
meetings of the National and Amer
lean Leagues here.
National League magnates devot-
ed much of their opening days ses-
sion yesterday at the present ball.
and the majority agreed that it is
''perhaps too fast"
John J. McGraw, manager of the
New York Giants, and Wilbert Rob
inson, Brooklyn manager, were
among those who thought the
present ball too lively.
The National League broke all its
home run records last season with
755, an increase Of l4j over the
1923 season. Philadelphia led with
164 homers.
When the umpires began to rub
the gloss off the ball in midseason
the result was - per cent decrease
in home runs during the last half
of the season.
President Heydler believes that by
commencing the practice of rubbing
the gloss off the ball at the be
ginning of the season this practice
viii tend to reduce home run hitting
and big scores.
Players Scarce
Lack of trading at the meetings
may be traced to the scarcity of sur
plus players among major league
clubs, in the opinion of many base
ball men.
Cleveland made an effort TO OBJ
tain Pitcher Ed Morris from the
Boston Red Sox, but its offer of
Pitcher Joe Shaute and $4,000 was
turned down.
The New York Yankees were still
diekering for Morris today, but with
no apparent success.
Hughie Critz, Cincinnati second
baseman, has been placed on the
trading market, but his price tag
appears TO be a bit too high for
the New York Giants and Pittsburgh
Pirates
There was an indication today
that progress may be made soon
toward untangling the Brooklyn sit
uation, where the owners are split
$3.50 over retaining Wilbert Robin
son as president and manager.

Mystery of the dark splotches on
