pug Rentner, all-America
half back, and Joe Colleges candidate
for the all-time intercollegiate clogging
team.
He hates TO talk foot ball. It doesn't
interest him. But he's rebid on the
subject of pistols and clog dancing. He
loves the tricky steps and he'd rather
jig for side bet than tear off long
run for a touchdown.
His interest in revolvers dates back
to the time he shot himself through
the left hand. So he collects guns
now. The first one he picked up in a
pawn shop in Iowa City when the Wild
cats played there last Fall. Since then
he's gathered two more and is on the
trail of still another.

BILL WOOD RECKONS
ON FIELD OF FIFTY
Event Is Modelled After Ma
tionaI Tourney-GnI Teams
to Roll Tonight.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

4 N annual George Washing
n ton Sweepstakes, that is
n confidently expected by its
pr:moter, J. w. Wood, to
draw at least so of Washington's
foremost bowlers, will be inaugu-
rated February % at the Lucky
Strike, it was announced today.
The new event will be similar
to the National, Dixie, Eastern
and Cumberland Valley Sweep
stakes, in that IS games will be
rolled in one day, but the entrance
fee of SIS, considerably lower
than the National, Dixie, Camp
bell and Eastern Stakes fees, Is
expected to attract not only the
star bowlers, but also the near
stars, who are willing to risk the
amount to take a crack at a
major duckpin championship.
Bill Wood, in announcing the sweep
stakes, declared that the popular idea
of awarding a prize equivalent to the
entry fee for the high game and set
of each block would be borrowed from
the Campbell Sweepstakes. Thus Sly
prizes of SIS each will be awarded
boWlers shooting the high game and set
during each Of the three blocks, pro-
vided these boWlerS do not finish IN
the money.
According to present plans, the first
set of five games will be rolled at II
am. on February %, the second at 2
pm. and the final at pm. All 10
strings will be shot at the Lucky Strike.
Wood expects the capital prize to be
at least 5000. He sees no reason why

WR|GLEY HANDS ON

~ HICAGO, January 27.-Ihe Joo
of making the Chicago Cubs
Y base ball champions of the
world-William Wrigley's most
cherished dream-has been left to his
son, Phil K.
While there is no definite informa-
ton concerning the disposal of Wrig-
ley's vast fortune, his controlling share
in the Cubs is believed certain to go
to his son. Phil K, himself sports
enthusiast, already has become presi-
dent of the Wrigley gum interests.
Wrigley was busy just before his
fatal illness planning ways and means
OF realizing his dream of seeing the
Cubs win world championship, and
thus wipe out memories-bi bitter to
him-of the clubs failure to win IN
1918 and 1929 after conquering the Ma
tional League.
Spent 100000 on Team.
From the time he became associated
with major league base ball in 1915,
Wrigley wanted a championship team.
and nearly s6OO0,oOO was poured into
the club toward that purpose. Man
ager followed manager-Fred Mitchell.
Johnny Evers, Bill Killefer, Rabbit
Maranville and George Gibson. until
Joe Mccarthy was brought up from the
Louisville club Of the American ASso-
citation.
Mccarthy delivered to the extent of
steering the Cubs to the National
League championship in 1929. This
outfit won oply one game from the
Philadelphia Athletics, and after the
team finished in second place in 1880
Rogers Hornsby became McCarthy's
successor
Wrigley personally had handled the
deal which brought Hornsby to the
Cubs from the Boston Braves and it
was the most stupendous deal in base
ball history. Around S25O,00O in money
and players were turned over to Judge
Emil Fuchs. owner of the Braves, in
return for Hornsby's services.
Not all of the money Wrigley spent
produced results so satisfying to the
man who was determined to have a
world championship club 1t is said
that he dumped more than 100000

unless young Stanley Hack, purchased
last Fall from the Sacramento club of
the Pacific Coast League, delivers.
Friendly With His Players.
Wrigley was more than friendly with
the players on his club and would over
look almost anything but failure to
keep in their best playing condition.
1t was this which led him to declare
himself on the subject of Hack Wilson.
the Cubs fallen home-run idol. In
anything but uncertain terms Wrigley
said he wanted Wilson traded or sold
and it was done.
He wanted whatever he had to be
the best and spent thousands of dol
lars each year to keep the playing
field on Catalina Island, which he
owned, in perfect shape, although it
was used only few weeks during the
year.
He was interested in other sports
and became a stockholder in the Ar
lington Park Jockey Club, but his real
love was base ball, and his son is
expected to take hold and attempt to
give Chicago the world championship
which eluded the father.

Campbell Sweepstakes at S28 a head,
the Lucky Strike chieftain expects an
increase over this total Many bowlers
just out OF the star class, thinks Bill,
would chance the George Washington
Stakes when they would pass up the
Campbell, National or Dixie Stakes.
INCIDENTALLY, it was just little
over year ago that Secretary
George L. Isemann of the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress pulled new
one on the bowlers when he promoted
the United States Sweepstakes and ar
ranged for all Of the games to be rolled
on the same day.
So popular has this method proved
that today there are four other sweep
stakes, including the George Washing
ton, offering the same test. The others
are the Dixie, Eastern and Cumberland
Valley.
CONNECTICUT'S Blue Ribbons will

National Duckpin Bowling Congress, has
succeeded in mastering five local pin
men who will make the trip in place

ed Monday night when their team was
withdrawn from the intercity classic by
their hacker, Lewis HOpfenmeier.
The team Isemann has gathered will

Northeast Temple All-Stars. Mandley
is going to Willimantic primarily to de-
fend his Eastern Sweepstakes title. The
others also are expected to participate
in the stakes, twin Of the National
and Dixie.
It is rumored that Astor Clarke, Jack
