known as the dean of New York sports
editors, died of throat infection early
today at the age of 68.
He had been i'll several days with a

when he joined the New York Evening
Post.
After serving on the Post under the
famous Charles B. Sawyer, Daley be-

similar capacity in 1916. When the
World suspended publication in 1881.

= LIGHTLY flattered by the con-
viction of most scholastic fol-
lowers that the winner of the
- game will be stamped as the
city champion without awaiting fur
ther developments, Eastern Highs
crack basket ball team will collide with
formidable ST. Johns outfit tonight
at Catholic University gym in a tilt
that should manufacture some of the
smoothest schoolboy tossing Of the
season.
Eastern. currently leading the inter-
high series, has refused to sell the
tickets St. Johns printed, since the
pasteboards advertised the game as a
championship fuss. Through its ath-
letic advisor, James Suber, Eastern
informed the Johnnies it considers the
game merely another on its regular
schedule, with no title at stake.
Although the championship billing
perhaps is a bit previous, since Eastern
is several steps removed from captur-
ing the interhigh crown, and Western,
defending champion, was expected to
share the lead today after meeting
Central, 1t nevertheless is likely the
city title will hinge on the outcome.
st. Johns already has won the Cath
olic Prep League title and Eastern is
prohibitive favorite to grasp the
interhigh banner.

LOUIS SIGNING APT
TOBL0CK Bakers
Stars Session With Clubs
Boss Today Expected to
Get Di Mag in Line.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,

n YEW YORK, Feb. 8.-The YAM
nj KEGS contract problems were
VI scheduled to reach a crisis to-
a day in the star-chamber ses-
sion between the world champions
millionaire owner, Col. Jacob Rupert,
and their high-salaried first baseman.
Lou Gehrig.
The colonel and Lou were meeting
IN the formers ornate brewery Office,
the same room in which the colonel
and Joe Di Maggie had their $4,000
difference Of opinion some weeks ago.
Gehrig. basebalrs highest-salaried
player. was demanding an increase
over his $4,000 wage of last season.
Chances were, in the opinion of
most observers, that the veteran first
sacker would be able to talk Col Rup-
pert out of quick raise, because the
Yankees are exceedingly anxious to
get him signed. They want to discour-
age Di Maggie in his .wild-eyed re-
quest for $4,000 contract.
Look to Gehrig as Leader.
CEHRIG would be the first of the
clubs big money boys to sign. and
his surrender would do lot to allevi-
ate the holdout headaches. Lefty
Gomez, Bill Dickey and Red Ruffing
are on the verge of coming to terms,
the Associated Press learned, and
Gehrig is depended upon to lead
them into the fold.
If, on the other hand, Columbia Lou
should get stubborn today and stick
with it. the champions might wind up
with real spring problem. There
seems no doubt now that Di Maggie
intends to hold out right into the
opening of camp at st. Petersburg on
March 7.
Gehrig, just returned from Holly
wood, where he played the part of q
rootin', tootin' cowpuncher in his first
movie, hadn't discussed contract with
his bosses prior to today's meeting. He
received the clubs offer of another
$4,000 season, stuck it in his chaps
and came on home. He called Col.
Rupert upon his arrival yesterday,
and said he wanted to talk it over.
Di Mag Irks Yanks.
THE Yankees aren't at all pleased
with Di Maggie. They feel that
his salary demand is out of reason,
and also that he has been talking too
much. Rupert regards himself as a
very big-hearted, liberal individual,
and feels that his offer of S25 900 to
that young man" was more than
sufficient. He's feeling very stubborn
about it,
The club announced last night that
Ernie Koy, an outfielder of parts, who
recently was transferred to Kansas
City, had been recalled and would re-
port at st. Petersburg. This was, of
course, meant as a reminder to Di
Maggie that the Yankees had some
outfielders left, even If Joe should de-
eide to go on running his San Fran
cisco restaurant this summer.
1t fell little fiat on some ears,
however, as it is well known that Koy
can't hit curve balls, while Di Maggie
has displayed an ability to pickle any
kind Of pitch. Di Maggie probably
won't be alarmed about the Koy trans
action.
