MCCARTHY BREAKS
 WITH JACK QUINN
Won't Manage Red Soz, Despite
 Very Generous Offer

Philadelphia, Oct. 8 (UP) - Joe Mccarthy may or may not sign with the New York Yankees as reported, but one thing was certain today he will not manage the Boston Red SoX in 1881.
 Bob Quinn, president of the Bos- ton American league baseball club. made that clear in statement is- sued here last night in which he said that under no circumstances will the Boston Red sox consider Mccarthy for manager"
 Quinn's statement follows:
 After conferring with Joe Nc Carthy for more than two horus during which conversation I made him the most generous proposition ever made to anyone connected with the game of baseball, am satisfied that I have done everything human ly possible to secure McCarthys services.
 Dislikes Building Teams
 'During the course of our con- versation he impressed me with the fact that he preferred 10 handle ready-made ball club that required little or no handling, to one that needed attention. So, after several days of consideration I have come to the conclusion that it would be mistake to let Mccarthy shop around and then come to the Red Sox if he could not land elsewhere.
 Therefore. under no circum- stances will the Boston Red Sox consider Joe Mccarthy for manager"
 Mccarthy was recently replaced by Rogers Hornsby as manager of the Chicago Cubs. Owner William Wrigley, in announcing McCarthy's departure, said that he had no fault to find with Mccarthy. but that he was not satisfied with anything less than a manager who could produce winning teams.

Y GYM NOTES

The Anderson-Stro team filed entry for the " doubles handball tournament yesterday and is consid- cred the strongest team entered to date. Dressel is looking for a part ner, as Waskowitz will probably not play in this league due to business. Two teams were eliminated last night from the tournament and the losers are now looking for new part ners. The Roche-Parker combination eliminated the Loomis-W -Walthers team in two straight games, 21-9 21-9, while ill the second match the Perokas- Hergstrom team experience ed a little difficulty taking the measure of the Rosensweig- Patrus team by 17-21, 21-15, 21-13.
 The night handball league is get ting under way and will be governed by the same rules. Vernon Read. who is getting the bug on the game these days, will probably enter with Hap" Griswold. Alderman and Tetsch will undoubtedly be seen in action. Red Alvord the fiery two shot maker. is considering Herman The Great" Fogelson as a helper. 1rerony and Maietta think seriously about it. Austin is secretly prac- ticing with a partner known as the Masked Marvel" and Fresen the frisky Swede and Abe Aronson arc getting set for the contest. Abram- son, a recent devotee of the sport and former singles wall champion of New York city, finds the four walled enclosures here intriguing and will also enter. From the out look the handball courts at the " will see some hammering this fall.
 Read Cunning for Nogel
 It has been said that Vernon Read is brushing up on the old Irish game with one particular idea in view-to meet Lou Nogel in the arena at some near future date be- cause of something Lou said to Yer non in the locker room two years az. The remark had something to do with a rug or carpet, which seems foreign to handball, but nevertheless Vernon thought at the time Lou's opinion of him as a handball shark wasn't so hot. Anyway, whenever the match come off part of the physical department is planning to be on hand to witness whatever science may be displayed by both parties and also tune in on the Bronx cheers.

 A writer in the magazine section of the New York Times summed
 
 Jones golfing career. all of which have appeared in print before, and emphasized factors that have been important in making him the con- plete golfer.
 Among those that impressed the writer of the article were Bobbys large hands and feet, his compact build with a low center of balance and supple wrists. In his own articles, Jones lays great stress on the importance of correct and full fexing of the wrists. Others have again called attention to the fact that most of the crack golfers are endowed with hands and feet of ample size.
 Now that Jones has established a record of winning four of the major golf tournaments in a single season. the curious in the goling world are analyzing his career. They find a series of circumstances that un. QOuDteOly nave COntTlDuLeQ STedtly in assisting the Atlanta lawyer to do on the links what no mortal has ever done before and what no golfer may ever duplicate.
 Finding their son sckly, the par ents of Bobby moved to a cottage on the grounds of the East Lake course. At six, the future king of golf was playing with Stewart Maiden, d pro with a sound stroke and one that just suited Jones' build.
 With such start, plus his natural aptitude for games and parents who could finance his golf. Bobby Jones advanced in g years to the highest pinnacle within the reach of the worlds best golfers. Even with all the advantages that could be offerd. it took 14 years of practice and an- other eight years of tournament play before Jones won four straight titles. That fact indicates the tough ness of golf championship caliber.
