MACK WILL START
1881 LINEUP AGAIN
Yankees, Griffs and Other
Clubs to Change Fronts
for Flag Race.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

" YEW YORK, January 8.-Sat-
N isfied his Philadelphia Ath-
1 Y letics still are the class of
the American League, Con-
ME Mack has decided to stand by
his guns in 1882.
A survey by the Associated
Press indicates the AS alone of
eight league contenderS will face
the wire in April with exactly the
same lineup that closed the 1881
race.
The New York Yankees have pur-
chased a couple Of expensive young in
fielders, Jack. Saltzgaver and Frank
Crosetti, to plug up what Manager Joe
Mccarthy regarded as his only, seri-
Gus weakness
washington has obtained Carl Rey-
nolds from the White Sox. He is ex-
pected to prove the answer TO Walt
Johnsons plea for a Slugging, right

Five Get No Help.
Despite their best efforts, the five
other clubs apparently have not been
able to acquire what it takes. Three
of them-Cleveland, Detroit and st.

Etouter than last year.
The Browns did not make a single

CURED at Chicago, following the death
of the "Old Roman" Charles Comis-
key and the elevation Of his son Louis
to the club presidency. Donnie Bush
has been replaced by Lew Fonseca as
manager.
Chisox Get Talent.
Under Fonseca's influence, the club
did some fancy trading at the annual
meeting, and, in the opinion Of many
observers, did itself some good. In ad-
dition to Sad Sam jones and Irving
Dump Hadley, obtained from Wash
ington, the Sox got another veteran
curver in Milton CASTOR, for whom
Young Lefty Bob Weiland went to Bos-
ton Fonseca hopes Ted Lyons, the
great right-hander, will return to form.
Should the Boston Red Sox continue
to improve as they did under John
Collins last season, they might very
well prove a sensation. With the ex-
ception of Weiland, they obtained no
recognized talent from the trading
marts, but they return with the same
combination that fought its way into
sixth place late in 1881.

WOULD FIND COIN
IN FLORIDA CAMP
Sees Chance to Increase
Bank Roll as Champion
points for Walker.

n IEW YORK, January T.
y Prof. william L. Mccartney,
l Y the more or less silent
partner in the firm of
Jacobs & Mccartney, whose chief
piece Of fistic merchandise is Max
Schmeling, is soon to be off on
another of his prospecting trips.
Like the prospectors who go into
the lonely spaces with pack mule,
pan and shovel, the professor
hunts for gold. But he seeks the
precious metal with different tools
and likes to find it already minted.
Mccartney quest will be for train
ing camp for Schmeling in Florida
which not only will be a suitable place
in which the champion may whip him
self into shape for the Walker fight,
but which will also yield nice returns
at the box Office. Palm Beach seems to
be the favored spot at this writing.
T7HROUGH the years Mccartney has
l. found training camps for several
heavyweight kings. The first claim
of the kind he staked was for Jim
Jeffries at Moanna Springs, near Reno
According to the professor, Jeffries
was the first heavyweight to enjoy his
own exclusive quarters. When he start
ed to train for the johnson fight. JEFF
established himself at Rowerdennen,
Calf, an inaccessible spot in the
mountains. Newspaper observers were
not welcome, even if they managed to
find the spot.
Jeff's move in hiding out gave rise
to rumors that he was in bad shape.
This story was spread all over the
country when one venturesome scribe
spied on Jeff's workouts from a dis
tance, using powerful glasses. This
writer sprang yarn that the big fellow
seemed to be afflicted with some mall
ady that would prevent him from get
ting into condition to fight.
Before the horde of curious reporters
could storm Jetf's quarters the fight
with Johnson was chased out of Cali
fornia by the Governor. Tex Rickard,
on McCarrey's advice, picked Reno as
the new site. While doing the prelimi-
nary work in Reno Mccartney received
a message from Sam Berger to find
q training camp for Jeffries No sooner
had the professor made arrangements
for JEFF to go through his workouts at
Moanna Springs than he was commits
stoned to find a similar spot for Johon-
son.
Mccartney picked Lawton Springs
for johnson and had the deal practi-
cally closed when the proprietor, learn
ing that Johnson was a colored man,

TOLEDO'S FRANCHISE
GOES TO CLEVELAND
American Association Club, in Re-
ceivership Last Year, to Be
a Farm for Indians.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January s.-The Toledo
Club of the American Association,
which finished last season in receiver
ship, is reasonably certain of getting
through the 1882 campaign on its feet
financially.
The Mud Hens yesterday were taken
over by the Cleveland Indians Of the
American League, which will operate
the minor league franchise as farm.
The club was sold to the highest bidder,
and the Indians stepped in just after
the court had decided bid by Hugh
brennan OF Chicago was not high
enough to 2atisfy the creditors.
Toledo will be the third club in the
league to be controlled by major
league organization. The st. Louis
Browns control the Milwaukee Club,
and Columbus is member Of the great
st. Louis Cardinal system. Both Mil
waukee and Columbus have benefited
by players turned over TO them by their
major league connections, and Toledo
fans are hopeful the Mud Hens, who
finished last In 1881, will be helped as
much,

-%HE sport that back in the Winter
of 1929 was given year to live
last night drew the largest and
most impressive crowd in the
history of wrestling here when 1000
persons jammed Washington Auditorium
to see jim Londos throw Sander Szabc
after 81 minutes of fast action.
Never before was the auditorium more
crowded than last night. Standing
room was at a premium and hundreds
of fans were turned away. 1t was an
other tribute to the box Office appeal
of Londos, who opened his 1882 cam
paign.
Legation Stats Present.
The Greek and Hungarian legation
staffs were present. In the former
staf's box were Minister CharalamboS
simopoulos, Angela Anninos and Emile
C, Vrisakis and their parties. The
Hungarian legation members were head
ed by Count Laszlo Szechenyi, Nicholas
de Vegh, Lieut.. Col. S. A. Beldy and
Baron
Nye Pat Harrison and Thomas E.
Schall also attended, as did Harold
Gatty round-the- world flyer; Walter
Johnson. manager of the Nationals, and
Lieut.. Comdr. P. V. Weems of the United
States Navy.
Unless it was an extra whirl on his
airplane spin or a decision for shorter
working hours, no New Year resolution
by Londos was conspicuous in his work.
1t was another typical, businesslike ex-
hibition.
Refusing to mount his bicycle for q
change, Londos met SZabo at the start
and led all the way. Szabo had little
to trouble the championship claimant,
but until three minutes before the end
the young Hungarian appeared fresh
enough to press Londos for possibly As
minutes or so.
Londos. however, found that Szabo
was target for his japanese toe hold
an extremely Furnishing hold, and after
putting his foes leg out Of commission
with several applications of the grip,
he airplane-Spinned him into submiS-
sion.
Card Bristles With Action.
The entire card fairly bristled with
action. Chief White Feather and Tiger
Nelson brought down the house with a
rousing battle of flying elbows in one
Of the preliminaries. After % minutes
or so of slugging, White Feather con-
nected with two haymakers on Nelson's
jaw and completely kayoed the Tiger
Rudy Dusek and Jim Corrigan staged
a fiery match in the semi-windup,
Dusek winning with his usual last-min-
ute finish. Corrigan looked good until
Dusek decided to end the match He
used his rocking split and accomplished
the feat in SO minutes.
In other matches George Hagen and
Doc Wilson and Matros Kirilenko and

Musical" Club
To Guide Duffer
CHICAGO, January 8 uP.-The

THICAGO, January 8 CP).-The
~ musical golfer may be on the
links some time in the near
future.
By his musical notes the duffer
may know if he is swinging his clubs
properly, providing the inventive
genius Of Willie Dunn wins support.
For Dunn, who won tt.e first United
States open golf championship, has
devised a "Whistling golf stick"
which is regulation club in all re-
spects, except that it is wired so that
1t will sound off when properly
swung.
A small opening in the hollow
head Of the various clubs in the
Dunn collection is responsible for the
Whistling note that develops during
a well-executed stroke. This head,
made of an alloy, is so adjusted that
faulty stroke results in silence,
while a good one gives off a note like
police siren.
Thus, a champion coming down
the fairWays would sound something
like a calliope.

Wills McCann Uses His Cuirt
ON THE porch in front of Bas-
~ ford's emporium, which was
also the post Office. Mesa and the
adjoining country met to discuss the
news and formulate views.
Today conversation was engross-
ing but guarded. For the feud be
tween the Starks and the McCanns
had broken out again. During the
night a cabin far from the main
ranch house Of the Flying Wy had
been raided and burned by armed
horsemen. Two punchers mad been
sleeping there, and in trying to es-
cape through the window one had
been wounded. He had slipped
away into the chaparral and hidden.
After daybreak his companion had
brought help from the Flying Wy and
carried him to the ranch.
Peter McCann, two Of his sons,
and his foreman, Yves Tapscott,
were in town. They came in force.
so the story ran, TO find out what
the sheriff intended to do about IT.
Curt Quinn, TO two safe friends
confidentially summed up public
opinion. "Old man McCann amt ex-

reckon Hank got elected sheriff to
pick row with the Starks. He
won't look oncet at the Circle Cross

bluff, but he'd be plumb disappoint-
ed If it interfered in his own little
private feud. The McCanns will play
out the hand their own selves"

lonely one. The ranchmen Of the
district looked upon them with Ill
concealed resentment. Their wives
and daughters paid no friendly Wis
its.
But in a mans country these
three attractive girls were a mag
net not to be resisted. A few cow
punchers met them and broke down
the barrier. Rumors began to fly,
as they must when presentable
young women are visited only by
men. At last the wagging tongue
of gossip found something tangible
TO whisper. Ann and Nora Clifford
had taken the train for Los Angeles,
while the younger of the three was
attending school at Tucson. Some
months later the older sister re-
turned alone. hard-eyed. close
mouthed. No letters from Nora
ever came to the ranch, 1t was OBJ
served at the post Office Where was
she? What had become of her?
During AIMS absence a band of
sheep had been harried and driven
over a cliff by night riders. AIMS
lips shut tighter, the lines about
them grew harder. Since her return
she and Ethel lived alone.
Mccain lifted his hat. "Howdy.
Miss Clifford. What's the good
word?" he asked.
Ann Clifford was thin, brown. dry
as chip. Her eyes blazed a burn
Ing bitterness. Resentment at life's
injustice marred her dark good looks.
What can / do for you," she
said bluntly.
For me? Nothing, ma'am," he
replied, disconnected. 81 reckoned

snapped.

girls only two or three times. and
then casually. But he had thought
a good deal about the hard lines
into which their lives had fallen.

"We'll not trouble you, thanks" /"
Her refusal of his offer had the
crack of a whiplash.
This was definite enough. Mccain
searched for some meaningless
phrase to soften what she had said.

I'll be movin' on now. Jim. Yerby's

, excuse. The mouth was childishly
sweet, the hair abundant and fluffy.
Men instinctively grew tender and
protective when they looked at shy
eyed Ethel Clifford.
Again McCann bowed, this time
to the girl in the doorway.
Ann faced him, innexlbly hostile.
She did not speak.
"Well, so long"
Jim-Dandy felt the rein on his
neck and turned toward the trail
From the ridge above McCann
looked down on the low buildings
Of the sheep ranch. Ethel was still
standing where he had last seen
her. She seemed to him a lonely
and pathetic figure robbed of the
joys of youth.
Yerby was inclined to be queru-
lous.
DOCS been worryin' for fear you
wouldn't come, boy. What's been

Doctor Sanders laughed. He knew
Yerby enjoyed rough repartee.
"You act like a pair of kids, If you
ask me. Don't forget to give Jim

Before he left, McCann offered

the spring of the impulse that i'm

anything about that gunplay at Tin
cup pass, Doc. No use startin'
trouble before 1t has to come"
Sanders assented.
McCann's eyes followed him as
he dipped into the arroyo that
would bring him to the mesa upon
which was the sheep ranch. The
young man smiled ruefully. He was
thinking about the Clifford sisters.
1t seemed to him that their lives
were involved In tragedy. Why
should they be pariahs, outcasts
from the society of those living
near? What had they done to de-
serve it? That they ran sheep was
an unfortunate incident and hau
nothing to do with what they were.
No wonder Ann had become embit-
tered at the destiny that pressed
upon them. Nora had vanished, the
bloom brushed from her life, II the
dark rumors he heard were true.
But his thoughts dwelt on Ethel, so
unfit to cope with the harshness of
this dry and cruel land.
