Grand Old Man

Speaking of awards for outstand-
ing athletes, there ought to be a
laurel wreath for that grand old
man Of American sports, Julian
Curtiss. Just turned 80, Curtiss has
announced his retirement from ac-
tive association with sports, al
though he is still keener, both men
tally and physically, than most men
in their middle fifties.
If you've never heard of Julian
Curtiss it's because he's never
sought the spotlight. No other man
has had the intimate and wide asso-
citation with leading amateur and
professional athletes that Curtiss
has had. For years he has been
the referee of the Poughkeepsie boat
races.
It is Curtiss who is responsible
for making golf an American ma
tional sport. Years ago, he brought
back bag of golf sticks from Great
Britain and then sold the game to a
skeptical public by importing a
boatload Of Scotch pros and touring
them in exhibitions.

ing any pictures, Miss Pitts"
they said to her.
There's a good reason why Miss
Pitts hasn't been making pictures,
these last months. A number of
other actors, also big ones, haven't
been making pictures either. Not
that she hasn't been offered roles
that she really wanted to play.
But the companies who sent for her
wanted to cut her salary to the
bone. These days the big money is
likely, it seems, to go to new
corners to the screen-foreign i'm
portations, cute girls who are being
built up. Some of the big players
have to swallow their pride, and do,
and take the cut; others stay off
the screen. Maybe that's why you've
been missing some of your favor
ties.
Miss Pitts has two opportunities
to make her debut in New York as
an actress; one in musical show
that, because of its authors, is prac-
tically sure to be hit, the other in
play. If her husband and chill
dren weren't so firmly established
in California she wouldn't hesitate
about accepting one.

Years Best Amateur
1 MATETIR othI.t;cs, -, q

A MATEUR athletics man or
woman of the year will be
known soon after November l. 1t
will be an athlete of this country
who, by his or her performance s.s
a competitor and by example and
influence as an amateur, did most
to advance the cause of sportsman
shin during the year 1898.
Five hundred sports writer's and
athletic leaders from all sections of
the country will serve on the board
to select the outstanding athlete of
1888, and the winner will receive
the annual James E. Sullivan
trophy.
In the past members of the board
made their choice on athletic abil-
ity and popularity which often came
from wide newspaper publicity. This
year the board is asked not to vote
on athletic ability only, as acts Of
craftsmanship, excellence of per-
Torrance, qualities of character
and leadership, force of personality
and high ideals of amateurism are
as important as athletic ability in
making the nominations.
There are plenty of able young
sters who might qualify this year.
Charley Yates has been favorite
ever since he won the British ANA
teur golf championship. Katherine
Rawls Thompson, the swimmer, will
have much support, while Patty
Berg, who is having a great year
among the women golfers, is good
prospect.
Former winners of the Sullivan
award include Bobby Jones, Don
Bulge and Glenn Morris.

Fateful Trade

Branch hickey, general manager
of the Cardinals, liked Durocher
and wanted to keep him. But dur
ing the 1887 World Series in New
York he made the deal with the
Brooklyn Dodgers. Hickey called
in Frisch and said: 'Well, I've just
traded Durocher as you wanted"
He handed him paper showing
that for Lippy the Cards had re-
ceived Infelders Joe Strip and Jim
Butcher, Outfelder Johnny Cooney
and Pitcher Roy Henshaw.
Frisch read the list, then ex-
claimed: Didn't you get short
stop?"
"You didn't ask me to get you a
shortstop," said Hickey grimly. "An
you asked me was to get rid of
Durocher. You go out and get one
or play short Yourself"
F'risch is said never to have re-
covered from the blow and to have
blamed hickey for the absence of
any suitable successor to the bril-
liant Durocher.
And Hickey is said to have fretted
all summer for the same reason,
watching the Cards lose game after
game with misfits at short. st. Louis
sports writer's said that Don Gut
teridge, playing the short field, had
cost the team a round dozen defeats
so far with his wild throws. Had
Durocher stayed at short, they said,
the team would have been in the
pennant fight, battling with the Pr
rates, Cubs and Reds.
Frisch's career as player ended
last spring when he took himself off
the active list, leaving a record of
2,311 games for baseball tyros to
shoot at. He holds many World
Series records. In the eight which
saw him perform, always as star,
he got So hits, far in excess of any
other player in history. He won the
record of the most singles ever
made by one man in the classics.
As; the most two-base hits, 10, and
averaged .298 for the eight series.
Now Al, Frisch reached a peak
salary of $4,000. His baseball ca
reer started at the age of 10, when
he came to the Giants direct from
Fordham college, where he had
starred at second base as we'll as in
football. John McGraw, manager Of
the Giants, had a special liking for
the fiercely competitive young play
er, and in 1921, two years after he
joined the team, installed him as
the regular second baseman, a spot
where McGraw always had a star.
Frisch never hit lower than 1927
in his six years with McGraw. A
bitter dispute with McGraw at the
height of the 1926 season led Frisch
to quit the club and return home for
a time. McGraw said that he had
overlooked it, but that December
when Branch Hickey offered him
Hornsby, McGraw snapped Frisch.

between the two, and on May 8,
just before the game with the
Giants, they quarreled publicly.
Frisch noted that Durocher was not
taking batting practice, and spotting
him talking to friends in the stands,
called him in.
eff you're too big for this ball
club" yelled Frisch, ego get train
for st. Louis" Lippy lived up to
his name in the fluency of his retort.
He finished out the season but there
was no lessening in the bad blood
between him and his manager.

OF the industrial trusts, he figured
that 7S controlled so per cent or more

He figured that more than half Of
the $4,000. .000,0 capitalization was

John D. Rockefeller controlled a net
