TEXAS LOOP GRAD
CLUSTERS CLOUTS
Gets 3 in Inning for Waco.
Sets Other League
Batting Marks.
BY John Il. FOSTER.

<lT TERE comes a lad who will
make Babe Ruth look to
4 1 his socking," some of the
base ball boys in the
East are chirping. The reference
Is to young Eugene Rye, who has
been purchased by the Boston
Americans from the Waco Club of
the Texas League.
The young man has yet to prove that
he can hit major league pitching, but
he has hung UP some home-run records
in the minors that are unique.
Rye is an outfelder, who began life
at Chicago and played base ball around
that neighborhood. In the aemi-pro
teams of Chicago he was good enough
to find game open to him no matter
which way he turned, and that led him
to believe he might become successful
as a professional. He went to winston
Salem in 1928, and from there to Waco,
where he played in 1929 and 1880.
Makes HOmers in Clusters.
His speciality is not in making a
llOi1iC-lull IeCOIQ lOE season, DuL III
making home runs in clusters. On
August 6, 1880. against the Beaumont
club he made three home runs in one
inning and against three different pitch
ers, Mallott, Green and Newman That
is masterpiece. Babe Ruth never has
been quite that highbrow in home runs.
In the opening game of the Texas
League season Rive made three home
runs of Hargrove, Auer and Giard, who
pitched for San Antonio In each of
three other games he made two home
runs. He is sixth in the Texas League
batters of 1880, with 1867 in 1913 games.
Rye has done other fancy things with
the bat. One time he scored five runs
in one game and batted in seven runs.
The Boston club surely can stand all the
batting of that kind that he can pro-
duce. He is not likely to charge into
the Boston field with as many home
runs as he made in Waco, because the
Boston outfield reaches much farther

HEAVY TITLE BOUT
AGREEMENT NEAR
Few Details to Be Ironed
Out for StribIing and
SchmeIing Go.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,


N YEw YORK. January 12.-1f
N fistic observers have interpreted
the signs correctly, all OBJ
stacles in the path of heavy
weight title match between Ma;
Schmeling and Young Stribling have
been cleared away and their managers
are ready to sign on the dotted line.
Some of the more optimistic of the
experts voiced the opinion today that
the bout would be made" within "a
hours, but the more conservative were
inclined to believe that several minor
odds and ends would have to be dis
posed of first.
Certainly there were definite indi-
cations that PA" Stribling, father
manager of the Macon, Ga, heavy
weight, and promoters for the Hearst
milk fund were close to an agreement.
Schmeling already is under contract to
the milk fund and no trouble is antici-
pated from their quarters.
According to best available advices.
the bout if all goes well, will be held
next June in Detroit, Cleveand, Phila-
delphia or Jersey City.
Sharkey Bout Big Hitch.
The biggest hitch in the milk funds
negotiations with the elder Stribling
has been the demand that Stribling,
providing he whips Der Make in June,
agree to meet Jack Sharkey in Sep
TENDER in defense of his title. PA"
has taken the position that the game
could not stand two heavyweight title
fights in one outdoor season.
compromise may be effected on the
basis of an agreement by Stribling to
meet Sharkey for the milk fund at
some future date, possibly in the Sum-
mer of 1882.
This effort of promoters to include
Sharkey in the heavyweight scheme has
been viewed as an attempt to placate
the New York State Athletic Commits
sion, which has nominated the Boston
sailor as the outstanding contender and
relieved Schmeling of his crown be-
cause he refused to sign Immediately
for a return match with Sharkey.

nj (Young) Stribling of Macon,

crop of heavyweights, in the
opinion of Jack Dempsey.
Making his annual selections of world
flstic stars for the Ring, boxing maya
zine, Dempsey places Stribling at the
top of the heap, with Max Schmelins
second and Jack Sharkey third.
ITO Stribling, I think, we must look
to regain American supremacy in the
heavyweight ranks" said Dempsey, "for
it is my opinion that If Sharkey has
10 more opportunities to win the crown
he still will fall short of the mark.
Were I to attempt comeback, which
I am certain will not, poor as I might
be. there is one heavyweight am sure
I can knock out-none other than JACK
Sharkey."

leaders in the various fistic divisions:

Cleveland FEARED
| WITHOUT CHANGES
Pitcher Terrell Makes Club
Dangerous Contender in
1881 Pennant Race.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

~LEvELAND has found it al
most impossible to make
~ any trades during the hot
stove league season. The
owners of the club had it in mind
TO shift a little here and there,
and probably would Jump with joy
II they could be certain that they
had the left side of their inf1eld
stanch enough to face anything
in the league.
When they suggested trades, they
heard nothing but Terrell. Not that
clubs proposed a trade for Ferrell-
knowing that was wasting their breath
but they told Cleveland that it was
too promising as it is with splendid
young man like Terrell to pitch Tor
them next season.
In other words. there was very
open confession that Cleveland as
team is feared before the first game OF
1881 has been played in the American
league race.
A Fighting Club.
The last pennant won by Cleveland
was in 1920, when Edward S. Barnard,
now the head of the American League,
was in business control of the team and
Iris Speaker was manager. Cleveland
made a good fight the next year, but
was unable to finish better than second,
losing the pennant to New York, but
not without giving the Yankees strug-
Gle down to the end of the season.
In 1922 Cleveland was fourth; in 1928,
third; in 1924 sixth in 1925, fourth;
in 1926, second; in 1927, sixth; in 1928,
seventh; in 1929. third, and last year,
fourth.
Cleveland has been in the second
division four times since 1t won the
pennant-its only pennant, by the
way-but it has been fighting team
in the other years and once when it
finished in the second division it made
O spirited battle for a while.
Cleveland has taken the place that
Chicago once had in the Western sec
ton Of the American League. There
was o time when Chicago led the West
fern end Of the league, and in its early
days Detroit was the great factor in the
West.
StilI an "OId Roman"
The White Sox were disrupted in
1919 by the villainy of their own play
ers and never since has Charlie Comis-
key been able TO get combination
equal 10 the one lie 11du Wucu lS Wdc
betrayed, yet the spirit of the "Old
Roman" is unbroken and his zeal is in
6Omitable.
Since Cleveland won its only pennant
It has been picked three or four times
IS q possible contender, but never has
been quite able TO make its way to the
top. Had the team closed in a little
stronger in 1925 it might have won from
New York, but that season it was too
uncertain in pitching at the start. This
year Cleveland is not uncertain in
pitching, as far as its prospects are
concerned.
With its splendid array of pitchers,
Cleveland is feared by other clubs in
the league, regardless of whether it ap-
pears to be as strong as it should be in
other departments This is proof that
the majority of teams in the American
League place much stress upon pitch
ers in the coming season. Believing that
batting will be as free in 1891 as 1t was
IN 1880, all of them are anxious to OBJ
tain capable moundsmen.
