BELL FEELS LURE
OF Job AT IOWA
Southern Methodist Coach
Intrigued After Talk
With HaWkeye.
Ey the Associated Press.

~ ALIAS, Tex, January 90
Matty Bell, ring master Of
the Southern Aerial Circus,
- was more interested than I
thought would be" today in the foot
ball coaching position at the Univer-
sity Of Iowa.
The pass-minded Bell, who in 1885
brought the Southwest Conference its
first Rose Bowl bid, conferred yester-
day with an unidentified representa-
tive from the Hawkeye school.
Admittedly happy at Southern
Methodist" Bell said his interviewer.
whom he declined to name, outlined
an athletic set-up that looked pretty
good"
Nothing Definite.
THE Mustang mentor emphasized,
- however. no definite proposition
was offered.
"The person I talked to was not In
q position at the time to submit a
definite offer" he said. This con-
ference merely was q contact. Iowa
officials simply wanted to look me
over"
Bell refused to say whether he con-
ferred with E. G. Oad) Schroeder,
newly elected Iowa athletic director,
who was reported in Dallas.
It was reported Iowa would pay at
least $4,000 year, substantially more
than Bells pay for tutoring the Mus
tangs.

HORNSBY affected monumental

HORNSBY affected monumental
diSinterest this Winter in Griff's
suspected offer of Cliff Bolton, Rey-
nolds and q choice Of glue-factory
pitcher for Hemsley. Maybe an offer
of Kuhel might make Rogers prick
up his ears.
Maybe, too, the theory that Kufel
is or will be on the block is all wrong.
Possibly Wasdell is the kind Of ball
player who bears the stamp of
firmed minor Lacquer and was pur-
chased only for use in Chattanooga.
But the signs do not point that way.
The skeleton staff at the Washing
ton club offices made no secret its
elation when the W2sdell-Reynolds-
Kress deal was swung, and you were
given, on good authority. the impress
sion that Griff fairly beamed into the
telephone at Orlando when he broke
the news to Secretary Eynon, and
that Bucky Harris has been wanting
to get Wasdell for months.
That doesn't sound like it
was done for Chattanooga's
benefit alone. Neither does the
fact that Wasdell is only in his
low EOS jibe with that confirmed
minor League angle.
Somehow the deal seems to have
some other significance.
Evening star., 1937-01-29
Kuhel Deal Is Suspected.

THERE is reason to suspect that be-
hind the Washington ball clubs
efforts to land Wasdell from the
American Association was a purpose
other than to merely strengthen the
Chattanooga. After all, Wasdell
proved pretty conclusively last year
that he was a star in the Southern
Association, for he batted .341 with
Nashville, and the majors. as a rule,
don't let players as apparently polished
and talented as James to waste away
on the deserts.
Thus it would be reasonable to as
sumo that Kuhtl might be traded,
maybe not this year but next. Wash
ington needs a catcher and another
pitcher badly. All the so-called experts
are inclined to agree that until Griff
lands them the Nationals cannot be
rated as pennant contenders.
For Kuhel he undoubtedly
could get good catcher and a
pretty fair kind of a pitcher.
Then, If Wasdell really is big
league ball player, Griff would
be sitting pretty.
Were this department asked, point
blank, just who might want Kuhel
most the answer would have to be that
Rogers Hornsby wants him badly
enough to give up half the breweries
in st. Louis. At least, he might give
up Rollie Hemsley. the playboy
catcher, and maybe Oral Hildebrand,
the pitcher whom the Browns just got
from Cleveland.

the eve Of the closing date for

- for this years international
tennis competition pointed today to a
field Of 1S nations with the United
States youngsters definitely "on the

The return Of Japan with promis-

FOURTEEN nations, including the

challenging Germany's highly-regard-
ed contenders in the European zone.

Japan, returning to the North
American zone after challenging

q promising squad, but does not figure
to do any great damage this year. The
likelihood is for finish fight between
Australia and the United States team,
which, it appears, will be selected
from Bulge, Bitsy Grant. Gene Mako,

Bulge is an almost certain singles
starter, with Parker or Grant prob

Pastors Record.
MY OLD friend. Sam McQuade. who

81 knockouts and lost 2 decisions.
and that he's had 19 professional bat
ties, winning them all except one.
Before getting into the fight game.
Pastor gained a bit Of fame in ath-
letic circles as foot ball player on
the New York University eleven, and,
while he doesn't look like a Hercules,
still he must be pretty strong fel-
low, if one judges by his record on
the gridiron.
But there's big difference between
fighting in the ring and playing foot
ball. especially college foot ball. Come
to think of it, not very many great
foot ball players ever became great
prize fighters. Wrestlers. maybe. but
not fighters.
Everybody knows all about Joe Louis
and his record. I want to say right
here that I think Joe Louis is very
good fighter. He is getting better all
the time. Some day he may become
even great fighter. He's young yet.

Although coming from Minneapolis,
Wasdell never played for the Amer

"WasdelI Fits"-Grif.

THE passing of Reynolds and Kress
from the Washington club comes
as no surprise. Both athletes, who
we're used only in utility roles by the
Nationals last year, are in the tWl-
light of their careers, although Kress
work, in particular, was helpful to the
Washington firm. Griffith. telephon-
ing from Orlando, said. I'm sorry to
see Kress leave our club. but it was
necessary in order to get Wasdell, who
fits into our scheme of building up our
minor league clubs, particularly Chat
tanooga. with players whom the
Washington club can use in the fu-
ture."
Kress came to the Nationals In
1884 from the White Sox, who were
given 'Infielder Bob Boken in ex-
change. During his career here the
redhead has played every position in
the infield, and, in addition, tried his
hand at pitching during the dismal
1885 campaign. 1t was during this
season that he received notice OF his
release" to Chattanooga but, as he
was packing, Red received a call to
come back.
Injuries necessitated this reprieve,
which Kress celebrated that same
afternoon by getting four hits in as
many times at bat and playing short
stop In bang-up style for the rest OF
the season. He batted .284 for 109
games last year and led the second
basemen of the league in fielding, but
Kress' crime was losing his speed and
he never was able to win a regular
job.
Reynolds came to Washington first
In 1882, was traded, and came back
a year ago from Boston, along with
Roy johnson, when Heinie Manush
was swapped to the Red Sox. Carl
played 80 games and batted .276.

Travis and Buddy Lewis, this will
leave only Ossie Bluege for utility duty
unless Mihalic is retained.
Wright probably will have to battle
Beverly Ferrell, up from the Georgia
Florida League, for the fifth outfield
berth at Orlando. Taft, however, is
more experienced than Ferrell and
should win out. Last season in the
Southern Association Wright batted
.319 and won respect throughout the
circuit as a dangerous hombre with
men on bases. In 157 games he drove
across 110 runs. His complete record
was GIT times at bat. 88 runs scored,
1877 hits made for a total of 2e4 bases.
He socked 36 doubles, II triples, 13

Simms bounced the ex-collegian on
