self the Golden Terror and who in
turn is given several less compli-
mentary handles by graphing Gus
toners, will display his unique
repertoire of villainy tonight at
Turner's Arena in the feature bit
of squirming, with Bronko Nagurski
posing as the hero.
Mr.. Terror, who takes great de-
light in ignoring whatever rules are
observed in cauliflower circles, has
steamed up local mat followers by
his lack of etiquette. They would
like to see him broken into small

that end have created several in

survived. He has won seven of
eight local matches, was declared
the winner, or at least didn't lose
anything, in lawsuit against him
and, incidentally, continues to cram
snarling humanity into the anemic
arena.
Nagurski, though, has a reputa-
ton of a brawler in his own right,
ample proof of which is cleaned
from the fact he stuck with the
Chicago Bears, pro footballs rough
est family, for eight years. Prior
to that he served time with Min

NEW YORK, Jan. ga couple
Of kid brothers are scheduled to
play major roles in what should be
by far the most important hockey
game on tonight's schedule-the
intra-city scrap between the New
York Americans and the New York
Rangers.
The Manhattan teams are sep
arated by only two points in the
standing as they come together
for the fifth time this season. II
the Americans can win, as they
did the last time, they'll be tied
in points for second place although
their technical position would be
slightly worse, because they have
played two more games than the
Rangers.
Another Hot Engagement.
That second place angle makes
their strife more important than
the meeting of another pair of old
rivals. the Chicago Blackhawks and
Detroit Red Wings, who have fifth
place as their stake. Detroit. a
point behind the 1888 Stanley Cup
champions. has licked the Black
hawks three times and tied them
once so far.
The kid brother stars are, OF
course, Art Jackson of the Amer
leans and Murray (Muzz) Pat

Never Roised $1,000 in Year,

This gets the winter season off to

even more normal, Mr.. MacPhail's
ears are ringing with the annual
protest of Van Lingle Mungo, his
part-tim ace pitcher.
1t seems that Mr.. MacPhail has

to a deuce. Last year, the freballer
got $4,000. This year. Mr.. Mac
Phail opened the bidding with a
friendly offer of $4,000, expecting
to overwhelm Van Lingle with his
munificence.
Instead, Mr.. Mungo threw back
his head and howled like a nervous
timber wolf.
Two courses are open to me-" he
said. "1 either can tear this manu-
script into IL pieces and burn each
piece, or I can feed it whole to the

"and I am not going to take no

So saying, the pitcher hustled off
to join the faculty of Strip Tech,
where constant association with
Dean Strip will make him as MALE
able as a chunk of pig iron. Be-

Strip Adds New Twist
To HoIdout Technique
BY JOHN LARDNER.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Mr. Jersey
Joe Strip, the widely travelled third
baseman of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
has introduced a novel twist to the
technique of holding out. Mr..
Strip says he will not sign con-
tract till the Dodgers pay him a
little bill of $3.50 for merchandise
supplied.
''They owe me back rent for five
ball players, at $3.50 a copy" ex-
plains Joe. Besides being third
baseman, I am molder of men,
a spreader of the word, an educator,
and missionary. I run a school
where I teach kids some of what
know, which is plenty.
Naturally, put price tag on
the finished product-150 spoons.
That is very nominal, chicken feed,
you might say, for graduate of
Strip Tech. Every club which
signs one of my seniors to a con-
tract pays me the regular price.
I sell these kids at wholesale rates,
. and I expect cash payment.
Dodgers Use His Product,
: But Neglect to Pay Him
Nov, the Brooklyn club is one
Of my best customers, if best is
the word want. I mean that they
have handled plenty of my product.
But 1 have not handled any of
their cash at all, except what they
have paid from time to time for
playing the hottest third base in
the league, and might add paren-
thetically that what they have paid
r me for third basing never has been
- by no means enough.
Right now there are five clean
1imbed alumni of Strip Tech play
ing ball for class A league clubs con-
trolled by Brooklyn. At $3.50 per,
that comes to $3.50. And of that
sum, how much has the Brooklyn
club paid me? You guessed it,
stranger-$000."
Mr.. Strip gave voice to this in
teresting beef in connection with
the receipt of his regular playing
contract, fresh from the firm hands
of Leland Stanford Silent Larry
MacPhail, the Brooklyn business
genius.
Don't get me wrong" said Joe,
studying the document with every
outward symptom of loathing and
disgust. II am not satisfied with
this contract. Never let it be said
that a Strip of Jersey was satisfied
with the first contract they sent
him"
Joseph's pride is sensitive on this
score. He is one of the most con-
scientious and hard-working hold
outs in recent baseball history, and
it would wound him deeply to learn
that any one suspected him of COM
plaisance, docility, or downright
cooperation.
ut ant that" he pleads. "Once
we get this little bill for merchan-
disc Strengthened out, I will yell
like burglar for more dough for
myself. Mr.. MacPhail's figure is
picayune, niggardly, and infinites-
lmal, not to say small. You may say
that Joe Strip is dissatisfied"
