FACES B|SONS
IN LEAGUE
CLASH

After six consecutive games on
the road, during which five were
lost and one won, the Georgetown
University five will face Bucknell
tomorrow night at Tech High at
$50 p. m. in an intercollegiate
Conference game.
A win for the Hoyas would as.
sure it of fifth place for the sea-
son and also it would boost the
Hoyas into fourth place, ahead
of Carnegie Tech and Bucknell.
Georgetown will start the same
team that has started the past
games. Capt. Ed Hargaden and
Don Gibeau will be at the for"
ward, "Chuby" PARCELS at center
and Joe Corless and Ben zola.
Encourages Mesmer
Although Georgetown lost to
Navy Wednesday, Coach Freddy
Mesmer received some encourage
ment from the game.
For the first time this year
the Hoyas played the type of
ball they are capable Of.
In the second half with the
score % to against them,
Georgetown began a rally which
brought them to % to 10 before
Joe Corless and Don Gibeau were
forced to leave the game because
of fouls.
This weakened the Blue and
Gray considerably, and they were
no match for the Tars thereafter.
Sets Dizzy Pace
Captain Hardagen is still set
ting a dizzy pace in scoring. In
seven games he has scored 70
points, for an average of better
than ii points a game. Besides
this, his floor work and passing
has been above the average.
Those that saw the Navy game
will attest to this.
In a preliminary to the game
Saturday, the undefeated George
town freshmen will face Central
at 1880 p. m.

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 1S.-Coach
Jock Sutherland of the University
of Pittsburgh doesn't care whether
his football players are subsidized
or not, he revealed today.
Furthermore, he does not want
to know anything about it and
considers it no more of an evil than
the help given college boys who
work on the school paper or play
in the band. He added, befriend-
ing the collegiate footballers:
Gas far as substitution of
players Is concerned, it is getting
no better fast. / do believe,
though, it is not carried on in
the way it once was. For my
part I can't see how 1t is going
to be prevented. The boys who
work on the school paper, mem
bers of the band, and hundreds
of others receive help. can't
see any difference in aiding the
boys who play football"

Ford Frick, NeW Head Soft Job. Problems
Of National League OF Weak Clubs Seem
Has Anything But | Without Answers
BY JACK KoFoED

KOFOED
has been crying for major
league ball ever since the
Orioles died Of hardening Of the
arteries and the city dropped
into the minors. But Balti.
moreans have not shown great
supporting strength, and even
the stimulus Of again reaching
the heights might not be
enough to rouse them.
On the other hand, 1t would
be hard to conceive Of a seven
club National League circuit
after all these years. That would
be losing caste with q ven
geance.
This is only one problem with
which the lucky" Mr.. Frick
has to wrestle. The Phillies are
dormant, practically moribund,
as q matter Of fact. Only the
sale Of their best players from
year to year has kept them
going. Mr.. Powell Crosley's wealth
bolstered the Ailing Cincinnati
Reds but, unless the fans soon
awaken, Mr.. Crosley will tire of
putting his radio millions on
the line. Brooklyn has been in
a bad way for a long time-so
you can see the new president
Of the league has headaches
and plenty Of them in return
for the salary he is being paid.
There Is nothing that gets in
your hair quite so much as con-
tinued financial troubles. Ask
your banker. He knows. Frick
is smart chap who knows base
ball from core to cover. but
he'll have to be q wizard to ad-
just the troubles and the bank.
books of these four weak sisters.
In Game for Money
Baseball magnates are not
altruists. They are in the game
to make money. and the game
hasn't been much Of q money
maker during the last few years.
Even the Yankees, who were the
best drawing card in the Ameri-
can League, and played to swell
business, showed very little profit
at the end of 1884. If The
Yankees can't cash in, what can
the Dodgers, Reds, Phillies and
Braves expect?
The answer is: Just about
what they have been getting.
Purely from a commercial
point Of view, baseball at Braves
Field in the afternoons and grey.
= hound racing at night would
probably solve the Boston prob
lem. But the rulers of our ma.
tional game are deathly afraid
of the gambling taint. They
haven't forgotten how close they
came to ruin when the White
Sox Of 1919 tossed off the world
series because some of the boys
expected Aronld Rothstein
money under their pillows and
found only crying towels in
stead.
They don't want any more of
that business at any price. =.
even if the price means that the
Braves must be jettisoned.
No, I wouldn't say that Ford
Frick was so lucky in getting the
assignment he has now. But I
will say that if there is any
one around who can solve the
problem it is certainly he.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-Eddie
Bennett, "lucky hunch" for the
New York Yankees, is dead. His
deformed little body was found
yesterday in a poor rooming
house. He was hunchback from
birth and was twisted with more

The Washington times., 1935-01-18

NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-when
young Mr.. Ford Frick was
elected president Of the National
League, his boy friends who
had worked with him in the
A.: sports departments Of news.
papers and in radio stations,
said:
!. "WcII, the kid certainly fell
!. into o lOtta luck"
Mr.. Frick didn't fall into a
.. lot Of luck. He fell into trouble
in wholesale lots. The National
League saw the thunderhead of
! trouble looming above. Good
s old John Heydler had been an
excellent leader, but age had
erept UP on him as q cat crawlS
on an unsuspecting sparrow.
He didn't have the vitality to
face the very serious problems
of the immediate future. A
young man was needed. and
Ford Frick was the peoples
choice.
Just a month after he had as.
sumed the purple habiliments
Of office, Ford found the first
problem dumped right into his
lap. The Boston club had fallen
apart at the seams. It was as
broke as an actor after q two
year layoff. The club was
evicted from its park because Of
nonpayment Of rent, and the
galloping doggies are all set to
chase the mechanical rabbit
where Maranville had made his
basket catches and Berger hit
his home runs.
Treasury's Bare
There had been talk that
Babe Ruth would go to the
Braves as manager. with the
: assurance that he would in.
crease next summers gate re-
ceipts enormously. There was
further chatter that Bill Nc
Kechnie would become the front
office boss and that the team
would play out its schedule at
Fenway Park. Most Of these
ideas seem about ready to go
up in smoke, because there
aren't many pennies left in the
Braves treasury.
The crux Of the whole prob
lem seems to be that Boston
isn't big enough to support two
major league ball teams. With
Tom Yawkey pouring a fortune
into the Red Sox, public in
terest in this city of beans has
definitely turned toward the
American League. There isn't
:, much support left for the stag
gering Braves.
!, What to do, Mr.. Frick, what
to do?
! When a surgeon finds an in
7 fected member that he can't
cure, he amputates it. There is
: every reason to believe that the
Braves will be amputated from
{ the league. There isn't any
| sound business sense in throw
! ing good money after bad-and
, that's just what a continuation
Of the National League club in
Boston would mean.
Stimulus Lacking
