TRAINS
To BETTER
CONDITION
By LES CONKLIN

NEW YORK, Jan. Having
taken only five minutes to dispose
of such pressing problems as his
1892 contract, the pitching staff
of the New York Yankees and the
winner of the next American
League race, Babe Ruth settled
drwn to his annual winter chore
of fighting the fat.
Not that there is much fat to
fight this time. Starting inten-
sive gymnasium training yester.
day. the home-run specialist
weighed 2251a pounds. Seven
years ago his midwinter weight
was 81 pounds more than that.
Wants Another $4,000
George Herman is confident of
stirring up bull market in home
runs this year, and feels that Col.
Jake Rupert, owner of the
Yankees, should share this conf
Gence to the extent of rendering
him another 100000 contract.
81 had a great year in 1881
and I'd like another twO-year
contract" quOth the Babe as
he pedaled a stationary bicycle
in Artie McGOvern'S gym. But
I'll take 80 grand for one year.
haven't talked to Colonel Rup-
pert about it yet, but once we
get together everything will be
luck SOUP"
Ruth predicted the YankS wou.l
walk away with the pennant this
year.
"WeIl have a swell pitching
staff" he said. "PipgraS and
Ruffing were held back by i'll
ness last year. Gomez is star
and Rhodes should have more
Self-cOnfidence. Also we've got
a dandy infielder coming up
from the Coast in this Frank
CrOSetti. He's a hustler"
The opening of the Ruth sea-
son was a gala affair. Some 80
photographers. m tion picture
cameramen and reporters attend
ed. The Babe boxed, ran on a
treadmill, rode a stationary bike,
chinned himself and lifted dumb
bells. He will work out about
three times a week.

Lewis and Blick got their heads
together recently and discussed
plans for conducting city-wide
championship tournaments in
three-cushion and pocket billiards.
Each plant, the Arcadia and
Lewis & KraSS parlors, will con-

leading players. and the winners
of the round robin at each eStab-

[ONDOS TWISTS
WITH SZABOAT
AUDITORIUM
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Jim Londos, generally recog-
| nized as world heavyweight Wrest'
ling champion, makes another
call to Washington tonight, being
booked to encounter Sander
Szabo, the good-looking Hungar-
ian. in the top number OF Pro
moter Joe Turner's gala show at
the Washington Auditorium.
The Greek, who has lost none
of his appeal to the fans nor abll.
ity as a wrestler, commutes regu-
larly to Washington. His match
with Szabo tonight marks his
eighth appearance here within a
few days over a year. Londos will
probably make his visits more
frequent during 1882 because the
city is now one of the best for
paying dividends, being claSsed as
major wrestling town.
Besides, it's the Bicentennial
year and there may be some
stray wrestling patrons in town
who would appreciate seeing
Londos in action along with
the other attractions.
Packed House Outlook
A packed house is the predic-
ton for tonight's show as all
ringside seats have been sold
while half of the orchestra seats
have gone. Despite yesterdays
rain, hundreds of fans beSieged
Promoter Turner's office for
tickets. Not all the choice seats
have been grabbed, however.
Evidently, wrestling fans never
tire of LondoS. Local followers
of the sport have seen him seven
times and yet they always crave
more of him The answer is
the Greeks magnetic personality,
his super skill as a wrestler and
his flashy shoWmanShip.
Londos will have no waltz with
Szabo tonight. though picked to
pin the Hungarian's shoulders
to the mat Usually, the Greek
stacks up against heavier oppo
nents whom the champion finds
easier to handle It's different with
SZabo. who is the same weight
and size as Londos. There the
resemblance ceases. The bronzed
Londos looks the part of a
Grecian god.
Bitter Rivals Clash
Bennie Bortnick, who will ref
cree the match between Chief
White Feather and Tigah Nelson,
must search each for bombs or
stilletos as this affair looms the
hottest of the evening. Back in
the summer the Indian clamped
his chin lock on Nelson and the
latter proclaimed in strong words
what he would do to the Indian
if they ever met again. So they
ignite the sparks again tonight.
Rudy Dusek, whose mere appear
ance in the ring causes fair hearts
to throb, tackles Jim Corrigan,
showing his wares in Washington
for the first time. Maybe this
Corrigan is another youngster like
Happy Scott and. if so. the Nebras-
kan will have a pleasant party,
minus cakes and pie.
Doc" Wilson and George Ha-
gen grapple in another bout that
should please the patrons. while
Herb Freeman and Matros Kiri-
lenko start to turn on the steam
in the first preliminary at $50
o'clock.

BOARD AIRS
PIT FEUD

CHICAGO, April IA 0.N.SD
An open controversy between the
Chicago board of trade and the
Federal Governments Farmers
National Grain Corporation broke
out today.
The conflict was precipitated
by petition requesting Secretary
Hyde to insugurate steps to re
woke the designation of the board
of trade as a contract market" :"
Such revocation would spell the
abolition of the board.
The petition was sent by c. E.
Huff, of Salir q, Kan. president
Of the grain corporation.
A statement declared the petit
ton was based on the board of
trades actions in denying a men,
bership to the corporation and
in threatening the corporations
subsidiary, the Updike Grain
Company, with expulsion.
These two developments in the
feud between the two agencies
were revealed when it was dis
closed that the corporation had
applied for membership on the
board without success, and that
the Updike Company had been
cited before the directors of the
board for violation of the rules.

The decree was interpreted as

the risk of disturbances would be

EVERETT COLBY

Scouting in Many Lands Promotes
Good Will Is Leaders View
The success of all International
effort, according to Everett Colby,
is based on intelligent cooperation,
and so is the success of all good
scouting.
THAT is one reason" declared
Mr. Colby who is chairman of the
executive committee of thet Ma
tional World Court committee,
why 1 believe in the scout pro-
gram for girls
Mr. Colby shows his practical
interest in that program by serving
on the board of directors of the
Girl Scout Federation of Greater
New York. In a recent interview
he expressed high approval of the
practice, by which American Girl
Scouts each year set aside the
month of March for the promotion
of projects leading to better inter-
national understanding.
Girl Scouting exists now in
thirty countries" Mr. Colby pointed
out. THAT means that a consid-
cradle proportion of the youth in
these nations share ideals, on
which mutual respect is being built
to the betterment of future rela-
tons"
Another reason why the Girl
Scout program appeals to him. MI
Colby said, is the way it helps the
girls find nice balance between
mental freedom and discipline.
There is no conflict between
freedom and discipline" he as
serted, but there are times when
it is especially difficult to keep the
two in equilibrium. During soma
eras-and this is one-the pro-
cesses of evolution are speeded up.
and we are in danger Of letting
moral standards go into the discard
with 'outmoded conventions.
Mr. Colby said he favored letting
such conventions go, once they had
ceased to be useful.
"They should not, however, be
confused with our best traditions
he said. "That if why / should
like to see the young people of oui
old American stock active in the
Girl Scout movement. They would
help to preserve what is best in our
American past, while the newer
blood would help leaven 1t witt
