~ OSTON, January 16.-If Ma
X tional League club owners
- think they are going to solve
dog-racing problems besetting
the Boston Braves by persuading
Charles F. Adams to take the team
over from President Emil Fuchs, they
are going to be sadly disappointed.
Although the dominating stock
holder in the Braves, Adams has ex-
hibited little interest in the Tribes
latest troubles, which forced Ford c.
Frick, new National League president,
to call q special meeting Of his club
owners for Friday in New York.
Adams will attend the meeting, he
said today, but he intimated that he
would not come to the leagues rescue
by taking over the club, which he
could have done any time in the last
few years, so heavy was his invest
ment and so great were his loans to
Fuchs.
He is carrying now, he explained
much too heavy a business load and
will rebel against assuming any more.

With Capt Jimmy Howell leading

The Colonials took a 17-to-14 lead

the second period and with four min
utes left to play were out in front by
a 25-to-22 score. At this point
Fielder and Props, regular forward

the personal foul route, and from here
the Colonials coasted to victory.
Howell led the winners attack with

Aha! A Light.

A PLAIN, everyday baSKet pail
~ game never has been paying
proposition in Was ing t o n,
whether it be professional, collegiate,
amateur or scholastic. A good team
in the American League was a loser
here, financially. Most college games
are drain on the exchequer. 1t can
be seen that the new high school
series arrangement is financial flop.
University of Maryland hooks up
basket ball with a dual boxing meet
and rarely does the combination fall
to fill the huge Ritchie Coliseum.
Scholastic double headers, catering to
the direct interests of students of four
of Washington's five public high
schools and presented with every con-
venience, with the possible exception
of warmed-over food now and then,
also was a success.
Enough games have been played in
the first-half series to determine it
will prove a dud, but unless you were
completely disillusioned by official
action taken on the grid rumpus, there
still Is silver lining.
1t all could be saved by officials
swallowing hunk of pride and re-
verting to the old system of play
for the second-half series. 1t

Base Ball and Showmanship.


ONT you believe" asked Cobb,
"that base ball needs more
speed and showmanship than it
has today?"
Beyond any question" he said.
Base ball 20 years ago had no great
competition in sports. Today it has
a half dozen or a dozen rivals that
have q big following. Babe Ruth
was a tremendous-a saving factor.
As the Babe goes out, the Deans come
along. But base ball needs more than
two or three or five outstanding fig
ures to hold its own. This last St.
Louis-Detroit series was a great thing
for base ball. This series was q bat
tie from start to flnish-no hand
shaking, no loafing, no easy going
let-me-alone and I'll let-you-alone.
I like the Dizzy Dean-Pepper Martin
-Ducky Medwick - Fox - Cochrane
types. I like the Frank Chance and
the Johnny Evers and the Maran-
villes. Big league base ball was never
meant to be tea party. It's either
q battle-or it isn't anything.
II gave everything I had to
every game played for "a
years. think that's why
lasted Is long as / did.
ICY Young never tried to save him
self and he won over 500 ball games
In % years. No one else has been
within q hundred games of this mark.
Every ball player should stand by
his aggressive rights and let Nature
take its course.
For example-if some infielder
tried to tag me, with his hand and
wrist in the way, I went for that
wrist to knock the ball from his hand.
That was my right by the rules"
But how many hours did you prac-
tice snding?" I asked Cobb.
I'D hate to tell you," he said. "It
makes me tired to even think about
it now"
Which is one of the answers to so
many modern entries-who practice
when they have to.
"1T tell you another story" Ty
said. when was II years old, with
Admission, Ala, I wrote you 40 let
ters from around that circuit, telling
you to keep your eye on a young fell

After that he wrote his press agent

Should Boost Track.

One Of the great drawbacks in this
section now in indoor athletics is
lack Of suitable quarters for holding
track meets. There is not building
in the whole section in which a really
good indoor track can be built, and
where tracks can be put in existing
buildings there Is not enough room
left to draw suficient receipts to
pay the expenses Of Q meet.
With the completion of the new
Sth Regiment Armory in Baltimore
one building will be available in which
an indoor meet really can be staged.
There can be laid of a 220-yard
track, only one of two or three build
tngs In the entire Eastern section
Of the Nation where that can be done.
Johns Hopkins for many years held
an indoor meet in the old 5th Regi-
nient Armory, but finally gave 1t up
rs . bad financial venture.
When the Fifth Regiment Armory is
available, it is hoped that some school
will hold an indoor meet there. OPP
portunities for athletes to compete
would cause great advance in indoor
track sports in the whole South At
lantic section, especially Baltimore and
Warrington. Just before the war, at
this time Of the year, all colleges and
high and prep schools and dozens of
small clubs had athletes in training
for indoor meets. Now there are
comparatively none, or at most very
few.
