Tennis Champ Should Be Up and

HOSPITAL Medico.
IL the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January 11.-Ellsworth
Vines, forced by illness to suspend
temporarily his net tour with Fred
Perry of England, rested comfortably
today In st. Luke's Hospital.
The California star, world profess
sional tennis champion, entered the
institution suffering with a mild case
of influenza and tonsilitis after play
ing listless, losing straight set match
against Perry Saturday night.
Their scheduled match at Detroit
tomorrow night was called of, but
Vines physician said he probably
would be up and about Thursday
in time to resume the tour at Pitts
burgh the following night.
The physician said Vines was feel
ing much better" His temperature
was nearly normal, in contrast to
the 1902 reported when he entered
the hospital. No visitors were per-
mitted, however, and telephone COM
munications were severed to assure
him complete rest for several days.
The Californian played with fever
Of 101 in Perry's professional debut
at Madison Square Garden last
Wednesday night. In Cleveland two
nights later the match was cut to two
out of three sets, instead of three
out of five, because Of Vines con-
dition.
Vines plainly showed the effects
Of his illness in his Chicago match.
He was slow afoot and frequently
rested against the backdrops. Perry
won easily, 60, 60, 6-3, for his
third consecutive triumph.

THREE CUNTS VISIT
MIDDIES THIS WEEK
Baltimore, Western Maryland and
Pitt Listed-Admirals Off
Form in Shooting.

BY the Associated Press.
A NNAPOLIS, Md, January 1.-THE
- Navy is playing three basket bali
games at home this week, ending with
a brush with Pittsburgh next Satur-
day. The University Of Baltimore
plays postponed game this after
noon and Western Maryland sends
its team Wednesday.
Inaccurate shooting has been the
weakness of the Navy team so far,
Bill Ingram and Frank Lynch, foot
ball men, being the chief offenders.
The team is playing an excellent pass
ing game and should be in good shape
for Pitt if the shooting improves dur
ing the week.
George Ghesquiere, the tall center
Of the plebes last year, was shooting
in excellent form, but was not used
against Duke Saturday because of a
bad ankle. He is expected to be ready
this week. Ghesquiere had a season
with the freshman team at Michigan
before entering the academy.
Other members of the unbeaten
plebe team last season who have been
tried out on the varsity so far this
season are Bob Laney, a guard, and
Bob Gillette and Larry Gels, forwards.

No League Failed in '36.

T AM, therefore, obliged to fall back
in a measure, to the recipe Of
former years and openly state that we
Of the minors are looking to 1887
without apprehension for the welfare
OF base ball.
There are number Of contributing
points which lead to that thought.
During the 1886 season We had 26
leagues in operation, taking in 81
States of the Union and provinces in
Canada. Every league which an
swered to the roll call at the start Of
the schedule was present at the ad-
tournment of the season.
We cannot ask for more than that,
and it is my pleasure again to report
that such stability has been the rule,
rather than exception, for the last
several years. 7 am repeating when
I remind that since 1888 only one
league which started as member Of
our national association has failed
to go through its season program. We
closed that circuit after a short life,
when it was apparent that contin-
uation would bring only undesirable
circumstances.
Evening star., 1937-01-11
Look for More Leagues.

RASE BALL has enjoyed a greatly
improved cooperation. This is
existent between the clubs Of the in
dividual leagues, between the various
leagues and between the officials Of
the leagues and clubs and the offices
of the national association. Such
q state of affairs has been of mutual
benefit to all, and it has played no
minor part in the improved conditions
Of the game.
We are growing. That means an
influx of many new club operators
into our ranks. We do not expect
them to grasp the intricate workings
of base ball routine In a moment or
q week. But they have shown the
willingness and cooperative spirit
that has made the road much easier
and the happy result is reflected in
the record.
Before we turned over the calen-
dar leaf to 1887, one new circuit, the
Evergreen League, was added to our
roster, and there are several more in
the final stages Of organization, ready
to take their places in organized base
ball. No doubt we shall have 80 or
more leagues offering clean, whole
some entertainment to a receptive
public in 1887.

GEORGE WASHINGTON'S COLO
MAILS, on the other hand, should
have about as much trouble with Elon
as they have in putting on their uni
forms. The visitors were in town Sat-
urday night, but their 31-20 victory
over Southeastern has sent no chills
down the spines of the Buff and Blue
aces, who turned the st. Johns game,
which was to have been their first
test" into another rout. fast becom-
ing traditional for Bill Reinhart's
point-a-minute boys.
In five games G. w. has won by a
margin of not less than 10 points, and
has an average of A per game. More
pleasing to Reinhart has been the de-
fense of his team, which has limited
Johns Hopkins, Marshall, Nebraska,
Mount st. Mary's and st. Johns to
an average of % points a game.
G. WIS regulars may bench them
selves quickly by a continuation of
their high-type play tonight. Kiesel,
O'Brien, Goldfaden, Schonfeld and
Butterworth should establish a sufi-
cient lead early in the game to give
Reinhart a chance to see his reserves
in action for longer period than
usual. At that, the Colonial mentor
won't need reserves until 1888, all five
regulars merely being juniors this
Winter.

EARLY BIRDS QUICK
TO SETTLE ON PAY
FeIIer Signed for About Half
of $4,000 Sought in
First Full Year.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
n JEW YORK, January 11.-From
M the looks Of things at this
" writing-several. weeks before
it's time for any one to start
worrying difficulties between
ball players and big league clubs will
be few and far between this year.
The general impression is that
merrily- clicking turnstiles in 1896 pro-
vided the medium whereby pay pow
vows, for the most part, will be settled
amicably before the annual training
camp migration starts.
Some of the early birds in making
flat wage demands already have come
around
Red Lucas, one of the first to voice
a protest over his offer for 1887, visited
the Pittsburgh front office the other
day and put his name on a pitching
contract.
Bob Feller, Cleveland's smoke-ban
sensation, said he wanted $4,000 for
his first full season in the majors, but
signed during the week end for about
half that figure.

Tiger Trade Still in Air.

Tiger 1FdQe Stlu IN AIT.
IF HIS subscription is paid up, Buck
can read Grifhths declaration and
decide whether the old gentleman
really means what he says or whether
he is giving Newsom the old how-do-
you-do preparatory to mailing his 1887
contract. Newsom, after all, was an
extremely troublesome gent to sign
last year.
Those with an ear to the ground in
the vicinity of the ball park are in
clined to believe the Newsom-to-
Detroit affair will be renewed within
the week, either by the Tigers or Ma
tionals. Griffith yesterday announced
that 80 players will be carried to
Spring training camp and in the entire
group there could not be detected one
southpaw pitcher with more than half
a chance to fill the vacant shoes of
Earl Whitehill
Obviously, il Griffith could
land promising left-hander in
exchange for Newsom it might
not be the part of poor wisdom
to consider a trade.
The Tigers seem to have such a
southpaw in Jake Wade. who was be-
lieved to have been offered to Wash
ington. along with Elden Auker, for
Newsom. Wade is a newcomer to the
American League, but in his few
chances last season he displayed some
thing more than the promise of such
as Dick Lanahan, Ken Chase or sgd
Cohen. who are Washington's only
current hopes Of providing some SOUTH
paw pitching.

EVIDENCE of power in the current

its third and most recent victory over

outstanding star that school has pro-
duced within the past five years. The

Planned to Operate in East
Next Season,

A BOON to Catholic University bas-

schooIs decision to join a six-team
league now being formed in the East
and TO be launched probably next
season.
The other institutions in line are
Long Island, Duquesne, Villanova and
Baltimore University, and a sixth
member is expected to turn up In the
Pittsburgh region.
Present at New York meeting Sat-
urday, held to make regulations for
the league, were: Clair F. Lee, athletic
director of Long Island; Charles r.
Davies, basket ball coach at Du-
quesne; Alexander G. Severance, grad
uate manager of athletics at Villanova,
and B. Herbert Brown. jr.. athletic
director of Baltimore University, who
engineered the organization.
Fod Cotton, Catholic University bas-
ket ball coach, was unable to attend
the meeting. but the school wired its
willingness to join the league.

obviated by the league. with the plan
calling for several games a trip to
be played by its members.

Youth Clings to Game.

THE players, themselves, furnish
unmistakable evidence as to the
upward trend Of base ball. Each
year we enroll several thousand
youngsters who sign their first pro-
fessional contracts. There are several
thousand others who apply at the
gates but are not quite ready for the
professional plunge. When this num-
Der Is given the consideration is de-
serves, it stands as an impregnable
refutation Of the old saying that base
ball was getting out Of the minds and
hands of youth. We do not hear so
much Of that any more, and we are
happy to tell the world there is no
foundation for it.
With watchful eye that win pre-
vent the recurrence Of wave Of un-
sound business methods which once
gnawed at the pillars of our organiza-
ton, we turn into 1887 with the fore
thought, the experience, the hope and
the vigor which give us the best OBJ
tainable insurance Of the desired re-
suits.

possible to ignore the fact that our
