Upton PASSES
Ed HARGADEN

Ollie Upton, forward Of the
Wilson Teachers College quint,
tops the collegiate scorers of the
District as the halfway mark of
the 1934-35 campaign is reached.
Tipton's total is 113 points, which
total gives Ollie a four-point lead
over Ed Hargaden, Georgetown's
nationally famous player, Harg-
aden was out in front last week,
but GeorgetoWn's two difficult
games against Yale and West
Point caused Ed to fail to keep
pace with Upton, whose team
played opponents nowhere near
the class of Yale and West Point.
Hermie Schmarr, Catholic Uni
versity's amazing player, is now
in third place, one point ahead Of
George Washington University's
captain, Jimmy Howell. Schmarr's
sensational game against strong
Davis-Elkins, when he rang up 19
points, caused the big improve
ment in Schmarr's standing.

CLUBS ARRANGE
THREE-WAY
DEALS
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-That off
again, on-again, never-again player
deal among the Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh and Boston clubs of the Ma
tional League was definitely said
to be closed again today, while
everybody was recovering his com
posure following the annual enter
tainment and brawl of the Base
ball Writer'S Association, con
Quoted last night without appar
ent loss of life.
Whether the deal will be an
nounced at the major league
schedule meetings starting tomor
row, nobody concerned was quite
prepared to say, there being Ger
ball Writer'S Association, con
time.
Withhold News
It may be necessary, for IN
stance, to withhold the announce
ment until the affairs of the BoS
ton Braves are settled.
They'll either find out at this
meeting or the league may have
to start without the Braves
which may be all right, at that
Quite a lot of clubs planned I'd
finish without them, anyhow.
BY this time, the original pat
tern of the three-way deal has
become a little blurred, if indeed
subsequent negotiations haven't
altered it almost out of recogni
ton. 1t seems fairly we'll estab
'ished, however, that Outfieldel
Cliff Lee is to go from Boston
to Pittsburgh. Who, if anybody
goes with him is not quite Gle al
at this time, although Catcher
Al Spohrer has been prominently
mentioned.
SpOhrer Mentioned
If so, either Spohrer or Catc' Il
Grace will go to Philadel phiS
with Outfielder Lloyd Waner foi
Catcher Bill Todd. 1t seemed
more likely. however, that Grace
would go to Boston, in company
with Pittsburgh infielder OF
outfielders or both. Some of thu

game at the Dag.
The field down there at Tulsa
must be wide and deep, for Hooks
cracked more three-base hits than
he did triples, and modern base
ball men are guided more by the
number of triples a man hits than
anything else in reckoning his
slugging power.
Hooks Slices Drives
Hooks also made a. two-base
hits. He pulls a ball sharply
down the right-field line, but, like
Cliff Bolton, of the Griffs, cud.
gels the apple into left with ex-
ceptional power. Hooks made 1872
hits during the season.
Referring briefly to the catch
ing department of the Athletics
for a moment, Connie Mack has
hewed precariously close to the
limits of safety. He has Frank
Hayes and Foxx listed as catchers.
This is folly in a form. Regard
less of how fine a theory Foxx
may still have on catching, he
has not had opportunity to put
his theories into practice. The
technique in catching a ball
thrown in the infield and that
used in receiving pitchers de"
livery are entirely different.
Foxx may suffer a couple of
banged-up fingers and long for the
relatively easy job at first base.
Pitchers Hold Fate
Granting then, that the great
experiment. on Foxx comes to a
happy ending; that the home run
slugger becomes a great catcher
and that Hooks becomes a great
first baseman, the case of the Ath'
letics this year will rest with the
pitching staff.
Connie Mack is quoted as say.
ing:
'Tf q couple of my young
pitchers come through we will
be in the race from start to
finish"
Mack is giving himself every
chance to develop a couple OF
pitchers. No fewer than ii are on
the roster of the Athletics. All
but three of the lot had trials
with the Athletics last season.
The newcomers are Charley Lieber
of the Missions, George Caster of
the Portland Beavers, and Bill
Tom Bennett. of Normanzee, Tex.
Bennett is just a boy and un.
doubtedly will be sent to the
minors for some polishing.
Lieber Is WorkhOrse
Charley Lieber. who was Is
years of age on last Friday,
pitched for five years with the
Missions. Last year he won 19
games and lost 13. Lieber was
something of a workhorse. He fig.
ured in 81 games.

Says Romanski:
'These wrestlers and wrestling
promoters are in effect defraud-

place putting on shows which
are supposed to be contests, but
which are in the bag long before
they begin. Championship

business of wrestling which
fascinates some of our best citi-

pondered at length exactly what
it is about the mat game that
fascinates a lot of people who
seem to be absolutely normal in
every other respect.
I think it is the unexpected

in wrestling which keeps the
paying gentry twisting the turn
stiles.
Here is a spectacle that is
practically unincumbered by
limitations or restrictions in
sofar as its rules of procedure
are concerned, and one in which
anything can and does happen.
1t is true they throw a referee
in there to pace up and down
the roped incloSure like a Gagged
lion, but his main duties are to
keep either contestant from
choking the other to death.
Part of the Show
After that, all he has to do
is to be able to count up to three,
and, of latter days, to extract
himself from the octopus
clutches of one or the other of
his wards. Indeed, as wrestling
comes down the centuries, the
referee has almost come to be a
part of the show, particularly
since the time that the perform
ers have about run out of holds
and gyrations and fantastic
noises which arouse the glee of
those addicted thereto.
But I do not agree with
Romanski that there is any
particular amount of fraud in
wrestling, leaStways no more
than there is in boxing where
one pays to see a good per"
formance and more than likely
sees quite the opposite, or in
horse racing where a lot of
queer things happen you didn't
