Hornsby Is
Entrenched
Tho Losing
BY PAUL NICHOLSON

fAssociateu Press Sports WriterD
CHICAGO. Sept. l0.-tPl-Base-
AL has produced many queer
contrasts but the brief and stormy
managerial caree OF Rogers
Hornsby, boss OF the f~lattering
cubs, today looked like the clas-
&c Of them all.
Five years ago. the "Rajah" led
The st. Louis Cardinals TO their
kirst national league champion
ship. He topped that performance
bff by plotting the Cards TO the
worlds championship. AS st.
Louis toasted him as the wonder
bman" OF baseball, he lost his job
Ind was traded TO the New YORK
Giants.
Booed BY Fans
Today, he Is leading the Cubs In
bne of their poorest campaigns
In years. Trouble appears TO be
doggtng his footsteps everywhere.
Fans boo him. Yet, he appears
more strongly entrenched as man.
hger OF the Cubs than ever. Owner
William Wrigley, Jr., who dismissed
former Manager Joe Mccarthy
toward the end Of the 1890 cam
paign because he failed TO win the
pennant and the worlds series in
1929. insists that the "Rajah" is
here to stay as manager.
'Hornsby is here TO stay as
manager OF the Cubs" owner
Wrigley said. HE will be given a
full reign Of the team and all my
support is with him. He has hao
many difficulties this year, but
I'm convinced he will have the
fans cheering him and his team
before long"
The case Of Hack Wilson. base
balls nan OF tragedy for 1881. has
been the most distressing TO Horns
by. The big little man, who battcd
out So home runs last year and
broke the National league record
for runs batted in, has failed to
deliver all season Whether the
reason for his reversal Of form
was failure to keep in condition,
refusal to do his best under Horns
Nv or a seasonal slump, may never
be known. He will wear a new
uniform next year and so may Pat

was fined heavily last week for
assaulting two Chicago sports
writers after what Manager Horns
|by reported was a might out.
New Players
Hornsby, himself is banking
high hopes for a winning team
next year in a host of new play
Iers, many Of them stars discovered
Iby the increased Cub scouting
system In the minor leagues. Sew
eral Of them are in uniform al
ready. More than a score OF them
will be given chances at the
Catalina Island training grounds
next spring.

IHornsby said. We've got a lot OF
great prospects lined up. Poor base
running was our biggest weakness
this year along with the failure OF
some OF the regulars TO measlrr

Whether or not Benny Leonard
comes back to the fistic frolics with
anything like show Of his old prow-
ess. it is great piece Of Snowman
ship at this time to take the WRAPS
off the one-time king Of the light
weights and send him into action.
There has been a steadily dimtn-
ishing number of real drawing cards
in every boxing division over the last
few years.
Leonard was the last Of the great
lightweight champions in an era in
which this division was second only
to the heavyweights in popular ap-
peal.
The retirement of Dempsey and
Tunney left the heavyweight brigade
staggering. It has reached q point
where the best prospective card Is a
meeting between two comparatively
inexperienced youngsters, Charley
Retzlaff and Steve Hamas.
The light heavyweights haven't
had much crowd appeal since the
days Of Delaney and Berlenbach.
Only 5000 cash customers saw Ro-
senbloom flight" Slattery for the l75-
pound title in Brooklyn and they
probably regretted 1t.
Off-hand, 1t isn't easy to name the
champions in a number Of other di-
visions, let alone the contenders.
Tony Canzoneri, the present light
weight champion, has real class and
so have q few others, such as McI,ar-
min and Chocolate, Young Corbett
and Loughran, but the list Is not
long.

WEST PLAYS SAFE WITH NODAK
SQUAD AS FIRST GAME LOOMS
Uncovers Sophomore Who Is
Fast and Has Booted the
Pigskin 80 Yards

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 11.-(R-
Although the opening game of the
season against Gustavus Adolphus is
but little more than week away,
Coach G. w. West and his assistants
are still drilling University OF North
Dakota grid athletics in fundamen-
tails.
With the second week of practice
almost gone little attempt has been
made to pick team. AS yet all the
regulars have not been used together
on one team. The squad does have a
fairly good conception of formations
that will be used in the first few
games, which were given out last
spring. They are few, but they will
be well handled.
West has given his players to un-
derstaAd that they will have few sig
mails to learn this year, but, on the
other hand, he has made 1t plain that
there WILL be no excuses accepted If
every play does not run smoothly.
Their seems to be two reasons for
the amount Of work being spent on
individuals this year. The new con-
ference ruling shortening spring prac-
tice gave the coaches less time to drill
new men during May, SO they must be
instructed this fall. Also, North Da-
kota has its smallest squad since
West came here.
Facing an eleven game schedule the
coach needs more reserves than ever
so he Is taking no chances on passing
over any youngster who may be used
later in the season when the going
gets tough.
Just now there is a search for kick
ers and It looks as though they will all
be sophomores. The most promising
OF tho present lot is Ralph Pierce, the
young sprinting half. who is being
groomed for ball tagging job. Pierce
has shown stuff In both departments.
The youngster has booted out punts
over 30 yards under pressure. He
Is inconsistent yet, but West expects
him to become one Of the best kickers
the school has had In years.
Duane Neuenscllwander, another
sophomore, appears to be the only
other kicking prospect uncovered.

Play Of Tennis Champion Gives
Doubling Experts Something
To Talk About

Forest Hills, N. Y, Sept. 11.-(Pe
John Hope Doeg Of Newark, N. j., ma
tional singles champion. apparently
has been playing fox with this coun-
try's leading tennis stars.
Beaten repeatedly in early season
tournaments, Doeg staggered through
the early rounds of the national
championships this week and then
suddenly regained his best form to
eliminate Young Frank Shields, q
dangerous contender for his throne,
in the quarter finals Thursday.
A blistering service was the chief
weapon Doeg employed to blast
Shields from the tournament In four
sets by scores Of So, 1l-9, 4-6, 8-6.
With that triumph, surprising to
some experts who somewhat reckless
ly predicted that Doeg would be lucky
to reach the quarter finals this year,
the champion marched into the semi
finals along with George M. Lott OF
Philadelphia, Ellsworth Vines, Jr., OF
Pasadena, Calf, and Frederick j.
Perry. burly British ace.
Today the champion engages Lott
In the semi-finAl round.
Lott has played super-fine tennis
throughout the tournament although
he needed all his strokes to turn back
John Van Ryn Of Philadelphia yester-
day.
Perry and Vines, opponents in the
other semi final round match today,
won in straight sets in the quarter
finals. Perry had no trouble with
Frank Bowden, the young New York
er who erased Sidney B. Wood from
the tournament and won, 6-2, 6-3, Ga.
Vines. who beat Doeg both In the
Longwood bowl and Seabright tour
naments, conquered the acrobatic
Texan, Berkeley Bell, 6-1, GA, 8-6.

It seems only q matter. Of time now
before the Philadelphia Athletics and

two major leagues, reach the point
where their grips on the 1881 pen
nants are mathematical certainties.
The mortality among the erstwhile

have only one possible rival left and
the AS two.
The New York Giants kept follow
ing the pace set by the National

though they had to put an end to
Pittburgh's recent winning streak to
do 1t, but Brooklyn received its dis
missal from the hands of the last
