Schaaf Is Laid
To Rest Midst
Navy Salute

WRENTHAM, Mass, Feb. IT,.
Through a lane of thousands OF
relatives, friends and admirers,
Ernie Schaaf was taken to his
last resting place today.
A throng of 5000 filed past
the bier of the Fighting Gob,"
as he lay in a flower-banked
room in the little white home in
Sheldonville he built for his
mother out of his first ring earn
ings.
Then, as the motor hearse
bearing his body to st. Mary's
Church, where a solemn high
mass of requiem was held, slowly
traversed the three miles, auto
mobiles lined both sides Of the
highway, with the occupantS pay
ing silent tribute to "a game
guy"
At the grave in st. Mary's
Cemetery, Foxboro, a firing squad
Of sailors from the Boston navy
yard fired a volley signifying
"the end of the voyage" for a
former fellow-sailor lad, who died
last Tuesday in Polytechnic Hos
pital, New York, following a
heavyweight bout with the 1tal-
ian giant, Primo Carnera, in
Madison Square Garden.

WINS
MAT BOUT

Daddy Long Legs had nothing
on Fred Grobmier and Paul
Jones, the two grapplers who use
their limbs to reward them with
wrestling victories.
The pair claShed last night in
the headliner at the Washington
Auditorium and Grobmier's stills
proved the better, at least on this
occasion. He polished off Jones
in "a minutes by means Of his
newest hold, called the Japanese
frog"
There were so many legs flip
ping through the smoke-hazed
arena that the spectators could
hardly tell whether humans or
octopuSeS were entangled. Jones
held the advantage for the first
part of the bout but Grobmier
gradually gained the upper hand,
ending the duel with a few elbow
punches that weakened Jones,
and then quickly terminated the
match.
Abe Coleman did away with
Juan Humberto, the Mexican, in
q minutes of the semifinal. The
Mighty Midget subdued his foe
with three of his neat kicks. Jim
Mcmillan and Ernie Dusek fought
through stirring 30-minute draw
in the greatest match Of the card.
It really had the fans on their
feet and each saw that the other
was much assailed. Rude" Rudy
DuSek pinioned Joe Kleckner with
a body slam in II minutes.
Promoter Joe Turner halted
the opening match between Milo
Steinborn and Frank Bruesh,
fearing some assassin might leap
to the ringside and shoot both.
This vas plunging and kicking
contest, lacking even a thimble-
full of wrestling. It might have
gone over big in a circus, but the
wrestling fans were greatly an
noyed.

IN BALANCE

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE
Jersey City franchise of the In
ternational League probably will
change hands today. Either Wal
ter johnson or the Brooklyn
Dodgers will be the new owner,
with the chances favoring the
former.
Charles Knapp, George Weiss
and Warren Giles, appointed by
the league to clear up the in
volved situation, will hold their
final meeting with Sam Colacur,
clio, of the Jersey City club. this
afternoon.
Colacurcio has been holding out
for a better offer, but in a talk
last night he seemed to be weak

his holdings rather than face
the chance of another years

Is Lou Burning Up?

Is he burning up to have re-
ceived a contract not in keep
ing with this new-found i'm
portance? Is he going to stand
pat on his demands and make
those Yankees come around to
his terms? And how!
Thus, Lou Gehrig's salary diff
ficulties with the Yankees over
shadow those of Babe Ruth.
While it is conceded that Ruth
will sign-he always does-it is
known that Gehrig's attitude Is
going to be a little ugly this
year. Confidentially, it is LOUIS
theory that for once his con-
tract happens to be paramount
to Ruth'S.
That .349 batting average
Gehrig amassed in 1892 is a
very powerful factor in the
position Larrupin' Lou is TAX
ing. It is eight points better
than Ruth's, and Gehrig was in
the game far more than the
Babe and figures to continue at
such a pace.
At the age Of %, Gehrig be-
lieves his chances for proceed
ing at his current batting and
fielding rate are better than
either Ruth's or Lazzeri's or
even Combs.

CHOICE

0LDLOOP

Editors Note-TIliS is the Sirth
of a series of IS articles by Pat
Robinson G1alystng the major
league baseball clubs and outli7a-
ing their prospects for the coming
season.
BY PAT ROBINSON
International News Service Sports Writer
The Pittsburgh Pirates are the
logical choice for the National
League pennant.
Well-balanced, seasoned but still
young, speedy" smart and power
full, they will enter the race a
strong favorite over the Cubs and
Cardinals.
George Gibson made 2 ten
strike when he lured Freddy Lind
strom from the Giants to share
the outfield with the walloping
Waners. This trio will give the
pirates the fleetest set of fly
chaserS in baseball and it is not
too much to expect that they will
average 1926 with their sticks.
Lindstrom's poor record with
the Giants last year can be writ
ten off. He's a great natural ball
player who figures 10 hit well over
300 and place most Of his hits.
as he is ore Ct the few place
hitters left in baseball.
No Weaknesses
The team hasn't q weakness.
Back of the plate We find Earl
Grace, one Of the best catchers in
the league, with a good, if not
great, pitching staff to handle.
If Charley Wood RECEIVERS his
health, the Pirates will have two
corking left-handerS-Wood, and
the hard-working Larry French.
With Meinie, Swift, Harris,
Kremer, and Chagnon they should
furnish all the pitching needed to
win.
! Waite Hoyt should do well on
relief duty and pitching in the
Pirates big park or in Cincin-
natl he might even win a few
games on his own hook. Another
newcomer who may help conSid-
erably is Lefty Birkofer, strike-out
king of the Western League last
year and a pinch hitter of note.
InfieId Strong
The infield will be Steadier this
year. Tony Piet and Floyd Vaughn
cracked after the pitchers sud-
denly wilted late last season, but
they are not likely to do so again
no matter what the pitchers may
do.
Gus Suhr is a handy workman
at first and a far better ball
player than he is generally rated.
Pie Traynor, Of course. is still tops
as a third baSeman.
If this team doesn't win the
pennant, the team that beats
them certainly should.

Lou Leads EN- All

Lou outhit and outfielded
either of his brothers in MUIR
derers' row, and if this isn't
the time he can cash in on such
feats, he inquiries, however casu-
ally, which is the year he can
expect to convert such records
into dollars?
Be it remembered that Gehrig
not only led the Yankee regu-
lars in batting, but in fielding
as we'll, his latter average being
no less than .987.
Against such a record Babe
Ruth, as we say, hit eight
points below Gehrig and fielded
rs points below Lou. Tony
Lazzeri, another power in the
Yank lineup, hit a mere 800
and fielded II points below
Gehrig.
Earl Combs, certainly a big
factor Of the Yankees, hit 1921
and fielded 20 points below
Gehrig. Dickey. out of the game
o month, fielded the same
as Combs .967, and batted four
points below Earl. That about
disposes of the offensive power
of the Yankees and proves
somewhat conclusively, for
those who go in for statistics,
that Lou Gehrig has a real
claim for compensation in this
coming baseball campaign.
We learn from a very re-
liable source he's going to get
his price. He seems to have
plenty of statistical evidence to
prove his claims.

WASHINGTON, July Wv. Il. Porter, gen
eral manager of the Monroe County Road and Toll
Bridge Commission, has secured assurances from Of
ficals of the Public Works Administration that the
application of the Commission for $l00OO,0OO loan
to finance construction of bridges over two water
gaps between Key West and the mainland, will be
among the first to get consideration when the ma
chinery for making self-liquidatng loans has been
set up, he said today.
At the head of the list of loan applications to be
considered are those from municipalities and other
political subdivisions Mr.. Porter was told. The Mon
roe County Bridge Commissions request will come
within this group, because of the status of the com
mission as egislature-created body, with members
appointed by Governor ShOltz, he pointed out
Not only will the application be among this
group to get preferred attention, but it will be like
y to get quicker action than many Of the other pro-
jects in the group due to the finished form in which
data regarding the proposed bridges be present
ed, the Bridge Commission manager was unofficial
ly advised.
Completion of the Public Works Administra-
tons organization for handling self-liquidating
loans is not expected before the end Of the week,
