up another cluster of three in the

the Hoosiers during the first halt

blasted a triple off the right field
wall and scored on a long fly by
Rosenberg. Greer grew wild in the
seventh, settled down in the eighth

LEXINGTON, Va, Dec. 81,
Virginia Military Institute boxers,
who took light workouts under
Coach AL Martin during the fall,
have started more intensive prac-
tice for the season that opens with
Maryland on January IL. 1nclud'
ing the Terrapin meet, the Cadets
will engage in five dual meets and
the Southern Conference tourna-
ment.
Four letter men will form the
nucleus of this years ring team,
with two sophomores and two Of
last years reserves tentatively
slated to fill the other four berths.
Gusts Burton, of Hopeweu, cap
tain and sturdy welterweight Is
getting competition from Drake
Pritchett, of Danville, who cap
tained last years Freshman team.
Cavedo A Letter Man
Willis Cavedo, Southern Confer
ence runner-up in the 115-pound
class, is another letter man on
hand, and the Richmond boy is ex-
pected to be one Of V. M. rs aces
this season. Joe Oatley, New York
heavyweight, and Saint Arnold,
175-pounder from Waverly, Va,
are the other monogram wearers.
Coach Martin has been train
ing a comparatively small squad,
but new candidates have been en-
couraged to try for the team. Two
or three prospects for each weight
division will probably be in train
ing after the Christmas holidays.
Among the newcomers who
look most promising is Rosser
Eastman, of Charlottesville, un-
defeated freshman 125-pounder
last season. Illness caused East
ham to hang up his gloves be-
fore the season closed last year
but Martin counts on him as
consistent winner this year. Sonny
Lee, 1876, of Lynchburg, and Ran
dolph Whittle, 1865, of Norfolk,
are also good sophomore pros
poets.

P. DEAN, BRIDE
ON HONEYMOON

RUSSELLV1LLE. Ark, Dec. 81
Another chapter in the career OF
Paul 'Daffy" Dean, pitching ace
of the world champion st. Louis
Cardinals, began today.
Dean and his bride, the former
Miss Dorothy Sandusky, beautiful
1e.year-old Arkansas Polytechnic
College coed, were en- route to
Gulfport, Miss, and Florida on an
automobile honeymoon trip.
After a two-month courtship,
the couple were married at the
brides home here last night with
the Rev. Homer w. Haislip, of the
First Christian Church, perform.
ing the ceremony. Woody Mayes,
local cafe operator, was the best
man.
Paul wore a suit he had pur-
chased on a flying trip yester-
day afternoon to Fort Smith
where he bought the wedding
ring. Hurrying back, he secured
the wedding license in Ozark.
Although Paul had known his
bride for two years he didn t
really start "going with her"
until he returned from the world
series victory over Detroit last
fall.
At Gulfport the couple will
meet Dizzy" Dean and his wife
and the four will continue to
Florida to spend the winter.

WILL DEVOTE
ATTENTION
To ARMY

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 81.
Capt. Lawrence "Biff" Jones ad-
mitted today that it was the inter
ference of Huey P. Long in affairs
of the Louisiana State football
team that caused him to resign
as head coach.
The Louisiana Kingfish not
only tried to help with the coach
ing of the team, but tried to pur.
suade him on the strategy to be
used in each game, Jones said.
Several other coaching offers
have come to him since his
resignation, he said, but he pre-.
fers to devote himself to Army
duties henceforth.
"When 1 came out on the
field just befre the Oregon
game there was Senator Long
sitting in my place on the play.
ers' bench" Captain Jon es
stated.
BETWEEN HALVES
Between the halves / was
preparing for a blackboard talk
with my players and coaches
who had watched the game from
the stands. The Senator walked
in and asked if he could talk to
the players. / said / would pre-
fer that he did not. He then
said: Suppose 1 talk to them
anyhow
81 told him that 1 would re-
sign if he did, and he insisted
in his intentions, so resigned"
Discussing his plans, Captain
Jones said that he expects Ito be
out of football for at least two
years."
81 am trying to get an ap-
pointment from the War De-
partment IT, Leavenworth. That
is the appointment 1 turned
down last year to stay at
Louisiana State. So if I sue
ceed I will be out Of football
for a WHILE"
CONGRATULATED
Jones. 1t was revealed, mas re
ceived many congratulatory tele
grams for his action in calling
the Kingfish's bluff.
Bernie Biernan, coach of the
Minnesota football team, sent
word here that he would not
consider the L. S. U. coaching
job if it were offered him.

nication from Huey Long," his
wire said, "and will not con.

It is strange but true that the
Colonel's best pal and severest
critic among the sports scrive-
ners is another Memphis, Tenn,
boy who made good in the city.
Now that it's Christmas time
again, they should get together
and sing "The Beale Street
Blues" under the mistletoe.
Lunching with Horace Stone
ham and Bob Harron during
the baseball meetings, the con-
versation veered around to
Terry. Horace probably is
closer to the colonel than any
other official of the Giants,
and I have known him since
the morning John McGraw
tossed him a first baseman's
mitt in Sarasota and told him:
"From now on you're a first
baseman."
"You hear a lot about Terry'S
asking, What's in it for me-?
said young Stoneham, "and
there is no doubt but what he is
a hard -fiSted business man.
That's one of the things we like
about him.
Cost of Launching
"When everything is taken
into consideration it takes six
or seven hundred thousand dol
lars to launch a club such as
ours on a new season. Which is
big business, isn't it? Terry
is the type Of manager who
doesn't have to be told that.
He's a fellow who can take a
team south on a spring train
ing trip, travel first-class all the
way, and still come close to
winding up on the right side of
the ledger for the training Pc
riOd.
"Such things are highly i'm
pOrtant with a big league club
these days. Terry is a natural
money maker, but he isn't close.
Right after we won the pen
nant in 'S3 the team and Terry
indOrsed some product for an

share was a hundred dollars.

Il could tell you several simi-
lar incidents that have cropped
up since he has been with us.
But say, he's a hard man to
sign to a contract"
Still "Mr. McGraw"
Habit is a powerful thing
and sentiment, 1 think as a
rule, a good thing. John Nc
Graw is dead. Horace Stone
ham and Eddie Brannick are
grown men,, holding important
positions with the Giants. Yet
both continue to refer to the
late leader of the Giants as
Mr.. McGraw." Even though
it may be an unconscious mark
of respect you like them better
for it.
If Madison Square Garden
could get as much ballyhoo on
its fighters as it gets on its Of
ficials, the old query of whats
wrong with boxing?" would be
answered forthwith. The trouble
is that the public won't pay to
see fitzpatrick, Hammond and
Johnston in action.
Johnston, quaint little Limey
from Liverpool, hasn't changed
in the IA years I have known
him. They say he puts Bixby's
on his hair. I don't know. I
know it always looks the same.
He cocks his derby over one
eye, talks a great deal, and
sometimes a deal of nothing,
has a sharp tongue of which he
is seldom at any pains to con.
troll, although it has never
seemed to me that there was
much venom in what he had to
say. Every afternoon he pre-
sides at high tea at ChildS' in
the Garden lobby.
Really Drinks It
And he really drinks tea.
Never has tasted anything
stronger. Never has smoked.
Seems to be out to establish
some sort of record for an
American family. Already has
a football team of his own.
Also a Dresdendoll-like little
daughter, so pretty she "oughta
be in pictures" and of whom
he is inordinately proud. Under
standably so.
Makes many opening nights
and hoofs a snappy step with
all the pretty ladies, including
the Mrs.
Knows Broadway from the
Battery to the Bronx and has a.
story ready at all times about
any of its characters you chance
to mention. Has been intensely
loyal to Jimmy Walker. Posi-
bly, for good cause, but so did
others have good cause.
All in all, a remarkable man
for a fellow who can't be so
very young any more. He's been
around too long. I like Johns
