reducing the clubs outstanding in

HIGH lights of the showmanship
angles always stressed by the
Nationals manager, Ned King, will be
the drills of the Canadian Royal
Mounted Police company imported for
the occasion. the dressage exhibitions
by Maj. Hiram E. Tuttle. who recently
appeared here at the second Inter-
American meet, and the exciting in
ternational competition between riders
from seven nations
Represented in the latter division
this season are Canada, Chile, France,
Great Britain, Ireland, Sweden and
the United States, the American and
Chilean teams fresh from the Inter-
American fray here. in which our
riders were victorious, and the others
lately returned from Olympic compe-

SALARY CUTS DUE

May Involve Greenberg,

By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK. october 31.-There
nj was no obvious activity in the
" Is major league base ball
offices today, but the club
owners were calmly stirring up a
hurricane of trouble just the same.
They were working on the 1887
base ball salaries, an innocent-looking
mathematical procedure calculated
this year to involve some of the
games famous players in few first
class wrangles.
Generally based on the uncom-
promising arithmetic of the batting
and pitching averages, salary cuts
were expected for Paul Dean, Car
dinals' pitcher; Buddy Myer, WASH
ington's 1885 American League bat.
ting champion, and Hank Greenberg,
the Tigers long-hitting first base
man, among others.
These three appeared to be in the
toughest spots. Myer won the bat
ting crown with an average of 34s.
This year he cut that figure down
30 points and played only about a
month. Greenberg hit 1928 season
before last, held out for more money
last Spring and then broke his wrist
after playing IL games. Paul Dean
also came up with a bad arm and
finished the season with five games
won and as many lost. He was paid
off for this on the basis of winning
19 and losing IL the year before.

MANY a time (it may be told now
N Sam had to hike across fairways
to keep away from Griff. And Sam.
in those days and despite Griff's edict
against ball-playing-season golf, man.
aged to keep his batting average up.
Sam thought then--and thinks to-
day-that golf is definite aid to ball
players. THE swing is essentially the
same" he says. land any ball player
would be better of if he learned to
place his hits, as golfers must place
their shots"
Sam probably was the best Of the
linksmen among the Nationals. Twice
Sam won the southpaw golf champion
ship of the city. and many time he
hes mauled the ball around that tough
Indian Spring layout in par or better.
His batting. too, managed to stay up
around and above the 800 mark over
the years.

Gold Sox Due Shakedown,


Pad news also appeared to be on
- the way for Arky Vaughan, the
1895 National League batting star,
whose record 1886 dwindled 81 points
this season; Hank Leiber, Giants
outf1elder, who fell off at bat and
lost his regular position; Augie Galan,
star of the Cubs 1885 pennant dash,
whose average shrank so points to
.264; Virgil Davis, Cards catcher,
who finished with mark of .268:
Hal Lee of the Bees, who dropped
from 1903 to .249, and Gabby Hart
nett of the Cubs, who is falling into
legend.
Nor does the National League have
corner on the bad news. In addi-
tion to Myer and Greenberg, a gen.
eral shakedown was expected fer the
gold-plated Boston Red Sox, with an
extra shake for Roger Cramer, whose
1885 average of 1882 fell away to
.29l; AL Cooke, who slumped from
.306 to .273, and Mel Almada, who
pulled up this year with a mark of
.253.
Even some of the pitchers will be
cooled of. In the National League
the general pay raise anticipated for
most of the winning Giants is not
likely to spread to Hal Schumacher's
envelope. He won 10 and lost 8 in
1885, but won only II and lost 13
last season. Charlie Root of the Cubs
is also in a bad way. He won only

Succeeding where two of its rivals

the smoothest combinations Landon
has ever had. it was Huck Hughes
who was the outstanding star in each
OF the winners three touchdowns.
On the second play of the game,
Hughes threw a 30-yard pass to mid
field and after a 2O-yard run through
a broken field. went over center for
the first score.
Another well-timed toss by Hughes
in the third quarter accounted for the
second touchdown when Berkley
snagged 30-yard pass and eluded a
mass of enemy tacklers to run rs
yards for touchdown. Hughes and
Berkley again collaborated for the last
6-pointer with series of laterals and
reverse plays, the former romping
over from the l8-yard line when his
mates opened a big hole at tackle.
Landon's sturdy line refused to yield
at any time and Wilson made its
