c. U.F|VE SHOWS
FORM IN WIN

Showing it's best form of the
season, the Catholic University
baSketers surprised it's followers
by handing the strong st. Joseph's
College five, of Philadelphia. a
1882 setback in the C. U. gym
last night. The Cardinals led
from start to finish.
The PhiladelphianS didn't re-
gard the Cardinals highly at the
outset and started their second
Stringers. With two new faces in
the lineup, Dick Galiher at center
and Tony Cannizzaro at forward,
the Cardinals hoped away to a
6-point lead.
After six minutes had elasped
the st. Joseph's regulars came
into action but the Cardinals were
inspired and victory was theirs.
The Cardinals outdistanced their
rivals during the first half which
found them on the front end of
a 27-12 score.
The American University bas-
keterS registered their sixth
straight triumph of the season
with a 1917 victory over the St.
Johns of Annapolis (MdD bas-
keterS in the A. U. gym last night.
Only last week St. Johns meas
ured Washington and Lee and
V. M. I. at Lexington, Va.
Oscar Sells, lanky center for
the Eagles, topped both teams in
scoring with IL points.

DUB BOWLERS
SET FOR TEST

Over 100 bowlers are expected
to take part in the Md.-Va. Sub
urban Dub Sweepstakes which
opens at Silver Spring tomorrow
night.
Considerable interest has been
manifested in the event, among
those fellows who average 106 or
less in leagues bowling in Prince
Georges, Montgomery, Alexandria
and Arlington counties, and
Georgetown.
The entry fee is $5. The final
block will be rolled at Rockville
next Saturday.
Georgetown Recreation pulled a
fast one at KenSington last night
when they handed the Kensing-
ton team a three-time walloping
in Md.-Va. Suburban League, the
first they had suffered on their
home alleys. All were close, the
first game being decided by eight
pins, the second by six, and the
third by two. Dave Burrows had
339 to lead the scoring.
Tony Santini was on his way
to big things last night with a
1913 and 161 start with the Foun-
tain Hams, in the District League,
but ran afoul of splits in his
last game for a miserable SO and
372 set. Thurston Furr closed
with a $50 to take set honors,
$50, but Columbia got them at
the right time and won two games
despite their opponents big scores
Alexandria set a new all-time
Md.-Va. Suburban League team
mark with a 682. Oscar SWANS
167 supplied the big blast.

False Economy?

While this may be a good
time to look to economies, a pro-
cedure baseball men announced
was at hand whcn they got to-
gether this winter, we seriously
question the advisability of tax
ing any steam out of the biggest
cylinder in the sport-and If
Ruth isn't that, then we've been
looking out the window at a
couple of other fellows all this
time.
What baseball needs is more
Ruths; more men capable of
demanding the incomes which
have been his and more men
capable of doing the things on
the diamond he has done year
after year.
Finally, although he may not
be worth 100000 to the Yankees
and we believe he is-he GER
tainly is worth that much to
baseball as a whole, which has
seen it's biggest gates since he
assumed the figurative leader
ship and backed it up with
consistently high-class perform
anceS afield.

STEVE FACES
CHANCE FOR
GREATNESS
BY LES CONKLIN

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The
well-known fistic crossroads will
be used as scenic prop in the
ring at Madison Square Garden
tonight for the 10-round bout be-
tween Steve HamaS, a young slug
ger getting his first big test, and
Tommy Loughran, veteran master
boxer who is just beginning to
slip.
A defeat for Loughran, coming
on the heels of his recent setback
at the hands of King Levinsky,
would push him definitely out Of
the heavyweight picture.
Steve Faces Test
Defeat for Hamas would retard
the progress of the former Penn
State star for only few months,
while victory would catapult him
into the big money class. Steve
has been undefeated in 26 starts
against palookas, winning % of
them by knockoutS, but has never
encountered a boxer of anything
like Loughran'S caliber.
Loughran is possibly the best
liked fighter in the game today
and nobody wants to see him
relegated to the limbo of stun
blebums. The odds say he won't
lose. He is a 2-to-1 favorite to
outsmart the youngster with the
weaving, body punching style
reminiscent of the old Dempsey.
1t is felt that Loughran merely
had an off night against Levin
sky, and is still clever and fast
enough to give boxing lessons to
the younger heavyweights.
POreda in SemifinaI
Stanley Poreda, of Jersey City,
another promising young heavy
weight, meets Sal Ruggierello in
the 10-round semifinal. Sal is
one of those glass-jawed sluggers
who either puts the other fellow
to sleep in short order or gets
knocked out himself.
In another 10-rounder Harold
Mays, the Bayonne IN. " vet
eran who once was picked by
Gene Tunney as a coming heavy
weight champion, tackles Hans
Schoenrath, of Germany.

RUTH SMILES
OVER WAGE
DISPUTE
BY QUENTIN REYNOLDS

NEW YORK, Jan. l5.-"Pity
Poor Babe Week" was under way
today in New York. and the croco-
dile tears which we're shed at the
sad plight of Babe Ruth have
practically inundated Broadway
and its byways.
PITY Poor Babe Week" began
yesterday when it was learned
that Col. Jake Rupert had sent
the Babe a contract for 1882 which
called for a paltry $4,000.
Immediately the storm oe in
dignation broke and the heIpless
colonel had to run for the storm
cellar. While Ruth himself main
tained an almost dignified silence.
thousands of New Workers roartd
their protest at this Simon Legree
who wanted to make poor Babe
play baseball for an insignificant
sum like $4,000.
OvershadOws All
The soup kitchens of the Bow
cry, the bread lines of First
Avenue, and the long lines in front
of the Municipal Lodging House
arose in shrill protest. They
might be out of work. They
might be hungry. Their families
might be Starving-but, neverthe-
less, Rupert should not be al
lowed to get away with such
base and heartleSs plan. Only
$4,000, indeed! Ruth the Mighty
must prevail.
Reducing his salary was tanta-
mount to reducing the salary of
the President. The fate of the
country hung in the balance yes
terday while thousands of base,
ball fans vented their indignation
against the colonel.
Ruth himself oddly enough
turned out to be an enthusiastic
supporter of PITY Poor Babe
Week" and he dismissed the
$4,000 contract with a shrug of
his bovine shoulders.
Not Greatly Concerned
If the truth were known, Ruth
did not seem greatly concerned
about the terrific cut of $4,000
which the Colonel had given him.
The Babe, who earned $4,000
last year and the year before,
seemed strangely confident that
the colonel would soon come
around to his way of thinking.
Even after a half hour confer
ence with the Colonel yesterday
morning Ruth still was smiling
Serenely.
This gave the rather cynical
baseball writer's an idea which
seems quite logiCal--the idea be-
ing that Babe and the Colonel
have already agreed on terms,
but that the $4,000 offer is
merely the first round Of long
battle ito be fought in the
newspapers which will termi-
nate with the eventual capitula-
ton of Colonel Rupert.

GIANT SQUEEZES
WRESTLING FOE

Leo Pinetzki, the Goliath of
wrestlers, wastes no time on op-
ponentS.
Appearing before 5000 enthusi-
astic fans at the Washington
Auditorium last night the giant
Polish grappler handily disposed
of Don DeLaun, Canadian heavy
weight, in 212 minutes.
Pinetzki, weighing over 280
pounds and nearly touching the
ceiling, toyed with DeLaun as
though the Canadian were a
feather. DeLaun climbed aboard
the giant several times, but he
was brushed off like flea.
Too Many Arms
Probably DeLaun thought he
was tugging with an octopus be-
cause Pinetzki's long arms were
circling around like an airplane
propeller. In style, Pinetzki
wrestles like Sergei Kalmikoff, the
bearded one.
The man-mountain, having an

beef roast and a buShel of po-
tatoes, ended the uneven contest
with a body press.
Rudy Dusek, the best all around
performer appearing before local
mat fans, dispatched "Cy" Will
liams with the rocking chair split
after 81 minutes. Williams con-
siderably abused the Nebraskan
but the former could not with
stand the pain of that rocking
chair split.
SzabO Beats COrrigan
Sander Szabo brought his back
drop into play to subdue the ter
rifying Jim Corrigan after 33
minutes. Corrigan gave the Hun
garian rough treatment. Ray
Steele was also roughly handled by
Herby Freeman, but the former
scored with an airplane spin and
body slam after 81 minutes. These
two bouts we're the co-features.

Baseball's Development

It represents a certain stand
ard by which the game of base
ball has grown and developed
since Ruth's bulky figure and
bulky salary possessed the game
and we for one question the
wisdom of getting the public OF
q mind that baseball is in such
poor straits that it must operate
on the income of its foremost
parsonage.
Ruth has been the hub OF
baseball for we'll over decade
now and the sport has been
fortunate to have such a sub
Stantial axis around which TO
revolve. A familiar phrase that
as Ruth went, so went the
Yankees, has swept baseball,
but a more truthful saying
would be that as Ruth has Jared,
so has Jared the entire game of
baseball.
Not Ruth alone has been
prosperous during his regime.
but rather everyone connected
with the sport, with very few
exceptions has enjoyed abun-
dance such as they never
dreamed.
We would say therefore that
the item of his future salary is
far more vital to the game
which has rallied around him
than it is to Ruth individually
who isn't going to suffer per.
ceptibly if he makes $1O,OOO
less in the next couple OF years
than he has the past.
With his writings and mer-
chandise Endorsements he will
earn close to 100000 in 1882,
any way you look at it.

For the month Babe Ruths probable salary for the
