NEW STARS SET TO SHINE UPON MAJOR LEAGUES
Gordon, Williams Best of New CrOp-DiMaggiO,
 MedWiCk Lead
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Jan. 13-(UP)-Base- balls never ending cycle of new heroes to replace old stars who are fading out of the picture has lined up an interesting cast of possibilities for the 1888 season.
 Among the big names which fad ed from the box score last season were Mickey Cochrane, Tony Laz- zeri, Mule Haas, Rogers Hornsby, Kiki Cuyler, Jess HaineS Bill Terry Charlie Grimm and Waite Hoyt. Other one-time greats nearing the end of their careers include Al Sim mons, Buddy Myer, Chuck Klein, Gabby Hartnett, Lefty Grove, Heinie Manush and others. Even the dur able Lou Gehrig. approaching 35 and Is years in the harness, can't go on forever.
 There are a host of new stars coming. over the horizon to re- place these heroes of yesterday Brightest of the new constellation are Joe DiMaggio, Yankees out fielder as a sophomore became the American Leagues No. star. and Joe Medwick, Cardinals outfielder who won both the National Leagues batting title and most valuable player award.
 On Their Way
 Behind DiMaggio and MedWick are such up-and-coming youngsters as Rudy York, Bob Teller, Mike Kreevich, Monty Stratton, Beau Bell, Cliff Melton, Russ Bauers Buddy Lewis, Lee Grissom. All of these lads should make the head lines, along with many others, dur ing the coming season.
 And then there's the 1888 rookie crop to be heard from. The head liner in this group appear to the Yankees second baseman, Joe Cor don from Newark; the Cardinals outfielder, Enos Slaughter from Columbus; the Reds catcher Will lard Hershberger, from Newark; the Cubs outfielder, Coaker Triplett from Memphis; the Red Sox 19- year-old outfielder Ted Williams II OAl1 Aoetl4 A%lCSO, anu tllC II dOCS outfielder, Johnny Rizzo from Columbus.
 Already three of these rockies are being hailed as future stars. Gordon only two years off the college cam- pus, is .being hailed as the fellow who'll make Yankee stadium fans forget all about Tony Lazzeri. Will , liams, the strapping San Diego pro- duct, comes up as the Coast Lea gue's outstanding prospect since Joe DiNaggio. Six major league clubs were bidding for Williams and the Red SoX landed him because they had first call on the San Diego club Slaughter, who is 21, is touted as { "left-handed Medwick" He is bull along Medwick lines, being 5 feet g inches in height and weighs 180 His Columbus batting average of .38; 1 indicates he can hit like Medwick at least in the minor leagues.
 But all of these--Gordon, Williams

 To Be "Purged''

New York, Jan. 13.-(UP)- Unless amateur hockey "abuses" are remedied in this country, the United States is not likely to be represented by a hockey team in the 194O Olympic Games.
 The American Olympic assO- ciatiOn refused to appoint a committee for the ice sport while in session last week, and A. A. U. Secretary Frederick w. Rubien announced yesterday that President Avery Brundage had called on every college in the country and the A. A. U. "tO purge erican amateur hockey"
 In replying to a request for clarifying the A. A. us stand on the hockey situation, Rubien said he referred specifically to professionals masquerading as amateurs" The ban on eastern amateur" hockey league teams by the A. A. U. caused Prince ten to cancel a scheduled game with the New York Rovers, Rubien said.

DOWN THE DRIVES
 WITH ELK BOWERS

The boys certainty took advan- tage of the holiday vacation period to have their bowling wings recon ditioned, according to last weeks scorpes. Every record for the sea- son was broken and when the stand ings for the two leagues were com- puted there were two teams tied for first place in the American league and four teams tied for the lead in the National.
 The big five for the week was D'Vileskis 391, Verriker 386, DeMasi 367 Gribbon 366, and Spadaro 360. = The Lux Clockmen started the year off wrong for Stanton's Out Easters by taking all four points. Johnny DeMasi, leadoff man for the Clockmen, set nice pace with 123, 116 and 128 for his nights work. Herman Lux saved the first game for his team with nine fill on a spare in the tenth box to win by eight pins.
 Jim Walker, Sr., 112, and Jim Mo sCarthy's IA were enough to beat Hyland by 28 pins in the second game and give the Jay Boys the ex- tra point for pinfall. Watch the way Jay Boys encourage each other; every word is a compliment.
 Gribbon's Lumbermen put plenty of wood on the old wood pile and when the evening had ended their total was 1872 and a four point win from Dr. Leonard'S quintet.
 For the first time this season liar pins team did not have to spot their opponents and the shock must have been too much for them be- cause Scaddens Mailmen walked off with three to one verdict. The two teams rolled even and the total pinfall was Scadden 1545, Harpin 1859.
 Bill Verriker rolled 386 against Jarlott which was enough to win three points and keep his team in a tie for first place with Cavanaugh who lost three to Larson's Tavern men. Bills 386 looked good for high three but it only lasted one night.
 Friday night D'Vileskie and Pope rolled their match on alleys 1 and that had just been equipped with new lights. The reflectors improved their bowling greatly for D'Vileskis team hit 1929 and Pope 1919. The match ended two and two.
 Cy D'Vileskis rolled 154 to tie high single and 391 to set new high | three.
 The bowling alley and equipment committee consisting of Leonard Pope, Cavanaugh and Bill O'Donnell are to be complimented for the inn provements made during the layoff l Standing as of January 10th

VENTURE QUITS TO ARMSTRONG;
 MONEY HELD UP
Legislature May Prob e New York BOxing==Sec=
 Onds Scream Foul"
By LESLIE AVERY

1 United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 New York, Jan. 13-CUP)-Enrico Venturi's weird interpretation of 8 man writhing in agony from low blow caused the New York athletic commission to stop payment on his share of $32,433 purse today while it investigated his fight with Henry Armstrong.
 The featherweig:lt champion from Los Angeles scored his 27th knock out in 28 bouts last night when Ven- turf, lying fiat on his back groaning Foul" was counted out at 2:49 of the sixth round before 12,572 spec tators in Madison Square Garden.
 Bad Business
 The outcome is sure to cause seri- ous repercussions, and may be just the spark that will set off pro- posed investigation of boxing by a special state legislative committee It also added fuel to the feud for control of boxing between Pro- motors Mike Jacobs and Jimmy Johnston.
 It is misleading to refer to the match as fight because it never was one. It started as marathon with Armstrong trying to catch up with an ever retreating Venturi, and it ended as f1asco. It was a repetition of the Joe Louis-Bob Pastor bout for six rounds-until "Homicidal Hennery" caught his man with questionable blow.
 From the first round, when the former lightweight title holder from Italy got on his bicycle, it was evident he was in there to stay the distance. Except for a few f1icking left jabs and counters, Ven- ] tur; confined his activity to foot work. Henry nearly caught him in the fourth. He landed a hard right hook to the chin that buckled En- rico's knees, but the Italian pre- vented knockdown by falling for ward on his hands and knees.
 Four times Venturi complained of Armstrong's low blows, but only once did Donovan judge them low enough to constitute a foul. He awarded the fifth to Enrico on a low blow for the Italians only score of the match.
 Missed His Cue
 In the sixth, Henry, apparently infuriated at Venturi's refusal tc make a fight of it, rushed his op- ponent madly, throwing punches from every direction. It was in g clinch. that the blow landed below Venturi's belt line, and he gave nc visible signs of being hurt until after Referee Artie Donovan separated them and his seconds began scream. ing Foul, foul" Several second. elapsed, according to this writer estimate. before he dropped to his knees, rolled over and stretched full length on his back.
 If Venturi had remained on his feet Donovan might have given hin a few seconds to recover such as he allowed Middleweight Champion, Freddie Steele in last Friday nights bout with Fred Apostoli. AS it was he had no alternative except tc start counting when the Italian went down and refused to get up At the count of ten" Enrico got up unaided, looked around then sunk to the floor again. Donovan walked over and held Armstrong; hand up in token of victory.

Slaughter and other recruits--have to prove their worth under major league fire. DiN>ogg:o and Medwick have arrived. They'll be two of the bggeist poX office names in the game in 1888. DiMaggio will draw down a salary close to $2o,0O0, one of the biggest in the majors. Med wick will hit $20,000 or thereabouts.
 Two of the most intriguing athletes this coming season will be Bob Teller and Rudy York. If Eel Ter has rid himself of his elbow ail- ment and can pitch every fourth day he is likely to make pitching history, but there still remains the question of whether "Fireball Bob can take lis regular turn using the same jerily delivery which incapa- citated him last season.
 Converted into a catcher last sea- son after Mickey Cochrane's injury, York became the home run sensa- ton of the majors, banking out Is circuit clouts in one month to shatter Babe Ruth's mark of IT for that period. York hit 35 homers last year in 104 games. eleven less than the leader DiMaggio His duel with Jolting Joe for the 1888 home run crown promises to be one of the highlights of the coming season.
