make this next season one Of the best
years I ever had. If this is my last
year, I'd naturally like to finish In the
right way. After that I'd like to Try
my hand at handling a ball club.
1--WE heard 1t said and seen 1t written
that wouldn't play in 100 games this
next year. Why not? I never felt
better and my legs are as good as they
were last Winter. I expect to play In
more than 100 games, with any luck
at all.
after my base ball playing days are
over, I expect to give much more time
to golf I've worked my way now down
into the 70's without much time fol-
practice or for play, except few weeks
in the Winter. I believe I can dc
much better with more time to practice
and more time to play in fast company
ITS great game and I get more OF
kick out of it every year. I can play
base ball only a year or two longer, but
can still be playing golf when I'm 80,
If I live that long"
Lou Gehrig, rated by many as the
most valuable first baseman that sever
played, will be another interesting
Yankee to follow next season
Lou Is now In his prime and he is
getting ready to go after the home-run
crown and the ru2s-driven-tn leader
ship, which Jimmy Foxx hauled to
Philadelphia last season.
Lou also has added golf to his COL
lection of games. and later on the golf
duel between Gehrig and Ruth should

Some Stars Favor Compromise
In Boosting Size Of Golf Cups

ing the size of the cups would bring a
greater thrill to the galleries.
Leo Diegel speaking:
Great The players who get close
to the pin would get their puts down.
/ have thought a circle around the cup
and others farther out with points to
be scored in proportion to the position
Of the ball in relation to the pin would
be a good thing"
Craig Wood, winner Of three Winter
tournaments, is satisfied with the game
as it is
Olin Dutra, P. G. A. champion, sug-
gested inches would be too big. About
would be better" said Dutra.
Charlie Guest also voted for COM
promise. He said: For experimental
purposes it might be better to try g.
inch cups"
Paul Runyan, winner Of the recent
Aqua Caliente tournament, thought big
ger cups would result in shorter courses
and tighter greens.
I'D like to see it tried" he said.
Certainly the spectators would get a
greater thrill from watching the play
and bigger galleries would result, no
doubt. But / think 1t would place a
big premium on the long game SO the
courses should be shortened and the
| greens made smaller"
Jimmy Thompson, the long hitter
from Colorado Springs. agreed.
Surely, it would be a good thing
for the long game. The long hitters
would fare much better under the pro-
posed change. I'm for it."
1 Fine. said Al Espinosa. "the cup
would look like a bath tub I'd like
/ to putt the ball in bath tub"
| Johnny Dawson of Chicago, low
amateur in three Winter tournaments,

pertinent and John Deforeest, British
amateur champion, said the proposal

ST honestly believe" he said, "we'n
have as good team as we had last
season, although ethese three players
will be missed. Mack has some fine
and-coming kids. I mean Frank
Higgins, third baseman; Lew Finney,
Bob johnson, outflelders, and others.
"I expect them to bring back that
spirit to win which we did not have
last season. It was q case OF too much
prosperity, the players knowing that
we had great bali club and not having
the incentive to get out and hustle.

Washington Senators"

EDWARD IRENAEUS SMITH he
II was christened, but as Gunboat
Smith he is known to tae army
of night enthusiasts who have fol-
lowed the career of this fiStic stall
wart through his fighting days and
more recently as a referee. At the
age of 43, the Gunner" employed
during the day as a runner for a
Wall Street investment house, and
in the evening, as an official of the
New York State Boxing Commission,
has lost none of his fighting en-
thusiaSm nor has he changed much
in appearance from the warrior who
only a few years back handed Jack
Dempsey the toughest fight of the
Manassa Mauler's career and prior
to that, proved the toughest assign
ment for the many white hopes who
were out to take the scalp of Jack
johnson.
Standing 6 feet /, he still shows
the benefits of his Navy training,
and except for a dent on the bridge
of his nose, made by one of Demp-
sey's fists, there is nothing IN the
appearance of the Gunner" that
would indicate he was one of Amer
ica's foremost heavyweight scrap
pers. There is merry twinkle in
his eyes when he discusses his
fights, but before you can get him
to talk battle, it requires consider
able effort.
Gunboat Smith was the official
whose vote enabled Jack Sharkey to
win the heavyweight title from Max
Schmeling. For his decision he was
roundly razzed, but when the pic
lures were on display. the Gunner"
convinced many of his critics that
his Judgment was not far from cor
rect. He is rated one of the best
officials in New York and is the
favorite referee of the grand old
man of boxing, william Muldoon.

NEW YORK, January 18.-It was
IN an offer of $50 900 for 1888 that
Babe Ruth rejected so quickly
and vehemently.
The Babe himself revealed the ex-
act terms the New York Yankees
had offered and put himself firmly
on record that he would not accept
any $4,000 cut in the $4,000 SAL
airy he received last year.
"I don't believe Col. Rupert ever
saw the contract that was mailed
to me-" Ruth said. THE colonel al
ways has treated me pretty fair. even
If we have had our little arguments
about salary In the past. While I
expected to receive some cut, I can't
believe he would go SO far as a third
off. I'll never sign for that"
Both Lou Gehrig, slugging first
baseman, and Vernon Gomez, slen-
der southpaw, also indicate they
have received offers from the club
they consider inadequate.

DAVIS STOCK RISES
AFTER COMEBACK
Youngster Beats Nicola in
Siashing Scrap-Genaro
to Meet Fino.
- ODDLY DAVIS ring future still

~ ODDLY DAVIS ring future still
- promises much, boxing critics
are inclined to believe today
Young Davis, with Harry
Groves and hundreds of fans squirting
him on, came back last night at Port
ners Arena, after being knocked out in
his last previous appearance, to win a
slashing, bruising six-round battle from
Angelo Nicola, a puncher with un-
doubtedly just as much wallop as Joe
Britten, who snapped Davis winning
streak of IL straight fights by flooring
the Eastern High School youngster
four times in the first round recently.
nROBABLY taking his cue from Brit
ten, Nicola came out of his cor
ner with a rush and tossed lot
of well aimed leather at Davis jaw.
But Roddy, the boxer, took it unblink-
ingly and then proceeded to slam 1t
out with the Baltimore battler through
the six torrid heats.
While the decision was not altogether
unexpected, the action of both judges,
Denny Hughes and George King, and
Referee Charlie Short, in awarding the
bout to Davis unanimously was some
thing of surprise. Nicola staged a
whale of a scrap and several times 1t
appeared Davis was going to take a
count. But Roddy stolidly took his
medicine and counter punched his way
to victory.
nAvIS and Nicola topped off card
~ which seemed to go over in big
way with the fans. Leroy Dougan,
a midget Mickey Walker, was belted
about for two rounds by Izzy Caplan,
Baltimore bantamweight, only to come
from behind and cop the duke. Dou-
gan, his right eye bleeding from the
second round on, had Caplan nearly
out in the final two heats of their six
rounder, but the Jewish battler hung
on and succeeded In lasting the route.
Henry Irving and Walter Kirkwood
went to a six-round draw: Ray Bowen,
like Dougan, came from behind to out
point Lloyd Phelps; Jimmy Tramberla
won a bruising six-rounder from Willie
Essinger and Tommy Horn 'outscored
Joe Doty in a four -rounder.
frankie Genaro, former world fly
weight champion, and Joe Fino, claim
ant of the fiyweight championship OF
Mexico, will meet in 10-round bout

THIS will be one of the most impor-
i tant years of Babe Ruth's base ball
Within few weeks he will be past
his thirty-ninth birthday on his way to
40. He is facing his twentieth season.
So he has been in hard. training since
the last season closed
There have been few days where the
Babe has missed turn at hunting,
fishing, gymnasium work or golf.
The remarkable part Is tI4at he seems
to be keener now than he was 10 years
ago-keen to play out full season
keen to regain his home-run crown.
He isn't sure whether he will play
another season after this one closes, or
look around for managerial spot. The
odds are he will be playing-even If he
is managing at the same time. For
base ball is still big part of his life.
1t has been something of a miracle
that such a slender pair of ankles could
carry his 225-pound body for nearly
20 years of base ball. And yet they
are still holding up-still doing their
part.
r ASKED the Babe recently what his
/ plans for the future are
Nothing very definite, now" he
said, except that I am going to try to
