Cox and Ernie Dusek Promise
Plenty of Rough Stuff in
Benefit RussIin' Show

If you like your wrestling raw, with
a dash of mayhem, 60 out to Joe
Turner's misery hall tonight and
watch Joe Cox and Ernie Dusek
maui one another for the benefit of
Washington's underprivileged, un-
shod children.
It's a most worthy cause. Joe
Turner. whose charitable deeds
would fill whole library, will donate
a generous percentage of the gate
receipts to the children's shoe fund.
You can wager If it doesn't appear
large enough the promoter will toss
in bundle Of his own cash to help
swell the receipts, as he usually does.
But Turner isn't asking for contri-
buttons He's selling a wrestling
match, and good one A dyed-in-
wool incurable himself, Joe recog-
nizes the good ones when they come
along and it'll take a court order,
battalion of Marines or a general
breakdown of the city's transporta-
ton system to keep him away from
the growl garage tonight.
Why? Simply because Cox and
DuSek are two of the better strong
arm boys in the business and show

His MishondIine Of

By a Stan Correspondent Of The Star.

By Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
CINCINNATI, Dec. THE un-
happiest man at the mid-winter
baseball meeting is Joe Cambria,
lonesome scout Of the Nationals.
Baseball's foremost gypsy, fined
$1,000 yesterday by Commissioner
Kenesaw Mountain Lands for fic.
ticiously dating a blank contract
and mishandling rookie pitcher
named William Donovan, today was
to plead before Lands that the
fine was too heavy.
II didn't do anything that every
body else hasn't been doing" said
Cambria, ashen Of face hours after
hearing the verdict. II think Lam
dis jumped on me too hard"
Burning for Revenge.
Cambria is angry at Scout Pat
Monahan OF the st. Louis Browns.
He alleges that "Monahan blew the
whistle on me.
Its all Monahan's doing" he
added. "Well, he don't have to
think this is the end. 1t amt. I'll
do a little whistle blowing myself"
According to the official bulletin
released from Lands Office, Cam
bria, last June 8, rendered con-
tract to Donovan, minor. The
form was blank, except for pencil in
sertion of $75 per month salary. No
club was named in the contract and
the boy was instructed to bring 1t
back, signed by himself and his
mother or father.
After Donovan did so he was
sent to Salisbury, Eastern Shore
League team owned by Cambria.
Then he was shifted to Newport Of
the Appalachian League. Donovan
stated that he was not paid a salary
because 'he still was on trial"
Back Salary Ordered.
Monahan saw Donovan pitch for
Newport and fan II batters.
From Donovan he wrung the
story of his contract difficulties and
asked the president of the National
Baseball Association to check on the
validity of the Cambria contract.
Lands fined Cambria $500 for
use of blank contract and another
fine of $500 for officially filing
contract fictitiously dated IS days
after its execution by the player and
8 days after he had been sent by
Cambria from Salisbury to New
port. In addition Donovan was
awarded salary at the rate OF SIS
per month for the period from
June 10 to June 30, inclusive.

Man Of Grit Coaches
Missouri, Selected
For Orange Bowl
Chance Kick Won Place
For 134-Pound Fourot
On Varsity Eleven
By the Associated Press.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Dec. 7.-He's .
man Of courage, this Don Faurot
who leads his Big Six championship
Missouri eleven into Miami's Orange
Bowl January /. That's the same
spot where Oklahoma, last years
titleholder. was q 17-to-0 sacrilicial
lamb in Tennessee's march to fame.
Georgia Tech will be '.host" school
In the 1910 North-south battle.
The Tiger chief came up the hard
way. Thirty-seven years old, he Is
lean and durable as Park avenue
dandy's walking stick and readily
identified BY his cocksure swagger
and Maurice Chevalier jaw.
He was an 88-pound athlete his
senior year in high school and q
swollen giant Of 1874 pounds as =
junior fulHack at Missouri in 1923.
But his punting and knitting through
the line made the Tigers the terrors
Of the old Missouri Valley Confer
ence.
Chance Kick Attracts Attention.
Faurot had no intentions Of play
ing college football. But one day
while he was sweeping the stadium
seats the regular punter's effort
skidded into the stands. Faurot
doomed 1t baek-far down the field.
Five minutes later he was in a
football uniform.
He showed courage by going to
Kirksville (Mo) Teachers College
and taking over q decrepit gridiron
outfit. He remained nine years, WIN
ming seven titles and going the last
three campaigns without defeat.
Again he displayed courage by
coming to Missouri in 1885 to head
q squad that had been victorious
only six times in 46 games, once go
ing II contests without triumph.
At his alma mater he was told
the campuses of two neighboring
girls finishing schools always would
have more attraction than the grid
iron. But his theory Of large squads
and wholesale substitutions has
brought 26 triumphs, IS losses and
five ties in five years.
Players Intensely Loyal.
Once, at Kirksville, his team
boasted two of the States star backs.
After the Faurot machine had de-
feated Missouri School of Mines the
two stars were permitted an over
night visit to their homes.
Two days before the squad was
to leave for Pittsburg, Kans., and
the toughest game Of the season
they reappeared, thin, dirty and
exhausted.
I'VE started hitch-hiking back, F"
one Of the players explained, but
we couldn't catch ride and we
didn't have money so we walked the
1856 miles"
WELL" said Faurot. IF you want
to play at Pittsburg keep right on
hiking because the only way you
will get there is to walk. won't
take you"
He didnt-and they did.

men to boot. If Joe can pin Ernie
by unorthodox methods. say by bust
ing him on the jaw with a stool,
rather than honest tactics he'll do
it. Ditto for Ernie, who tried plain.
honest wrestling once but quickly
reverted to type when the other gent
roughed him up too much.
Both are old hands at the game,
tried and proved warriors who are
not above mixing with the patrons,
and who usually manage to stir up a
bit of animosity in the breasts of
those spartans who habitually roost
on the ringside pews every Thurs
day night. Turner is providing
special police for the fans to guard
against injuries but the official per-
formers will have to look out for
themselves.
The supporting card is unusually
good. and Turner deserves an extra
pat on the back for his efforts in
this direction. Jack Hader meets
Ralph Garibaldi in the semi final;
Bob Wagner faces Tom Casey;
Chief White Feather battles Abe
Coleman; and Bibber Mccoy is
booked with AL Eustace. Every bout
veritably is a 4-star number.

1899 Season Greatest
In History; Another
Big Yeor Planned
By WALTER McCALLUM.

All set for another successful sea-
son and heavier schedule than any
that has gone before Washington
women golfers today reelected Mrs.
Robert A. Lacey, of the Columbia
Country Club. president of the
Women's District Golf Association.
With Mrs. Lacey into office at the
annual meeting at the Columbia
Country Club went Mrs. Gale E..
Pugh, of Manor; Mrs. Oscar Cooli-
can, of Chevy Chase; Mrs. r. l..
Hutchinson, of Washington, and
Mrs P. J. Winkler, of Congressional.
Annual reports made at the meet
ing showed 1899 the most successful
year the women golfers have had.
They sold nearly 200 budget books
at 81, enabling each holder to play in
all the tournaments for that price.
With other tournament receipts
they took in more than a thousand
dollars, and were able to buy more
and better prizes in the feminine
Journeys this year.
Start Play in April.
Facing another heavy schedule OF
affairs in 1910, to open III April with
the initial team matches and the
tournament for the Phyllis Keeler
Miller Memorial trophy, the women
have several months to figure out a
way to split the large fields Of tour
nament players They have laid the
ground work for such split with a
proposal to halve the fields accord
ing to handicaps, as was done in one
tournament this year.
Team matches between clubs will
20 on in much the same way in 1910
as this year Several intercity con-
tests between Washington, Baltimore
and Philadelphia also are planned
But there's some doubt as to what
will happen at Indian Spring. That
doubt will not be removed until next
spring when the lineup for the team
matches becomes definite.
Indian Spring will become 9-hole
course next year and it's doubtful
If the team which placed second in
the first team matches this year will
be intact. The Indian Spring outfit
was licked by Chevy Chase in the
final of first team matches this year,
but Indian Springs potent team long
has been a standout in the feminine
matches. It's altogether possible
that the team will be broken up next
year, with the members scattering
to other clubs. That, however, is
development of the future, and can
not now be foretold.
Three of the major trophies in
competition around Washington now
repose at Indian Spring. These are
the. mems mid-Atlantic cup, won by
Roger Peacock; the women's mid
Atlantic cup, won by Mrs. Walter r
Stokes, and the Maryland state team
title trophy, won by the Indian
Spring team.
This year has been the most sue
cessful of all in women's golf, the
reports presented today showed. Fin
ancially it was by far the best, and
in every tournament large fields
played. In one af1air-the N. B. C
tourney, more than 200 entered the
event at the Army Navy Country
Club. This is the reason the women
now are figuring on splitting their
tournament fields. Slow players
check the field. and the men are
kept off the course in the afternoons
If the women's entry lists run above

In addition to his plan to bar pen
nant winners from trading, Griffith
today also was expected to intro
duce bills calling for night baseball
during July and August and a curb
on the minor league holdings of
major league teams.
To repeat, his night ball idea
would have every club in the major
league playing every night except
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
In the other proposal he would limit
all major league clubs to only one
farm in every minor league classi-
fication except class D.
One thing that seems fairly GER
tain is that Griffith, regardless of
whether his night ball idea is
adopted, will return to Washington
and ask for lighting plant bids.
There is a strong suspicion that even
if teams still are limited to only
seven night games a year at home
he will dig down for the necessary
cash and have light cast on the
corner Of Florida and Georgia ave-
nues next summer.

RossIyn Londs Snoppy
Victory Over Mounts
As Wolfe SporkIes

Little short Of a sensation as the
top money bowler of the East and
South, Tony Santini, Columbia
sharpshooter, today held the lead
in hectic battle for the champion
ship of the Mems District League
with an average of 1918.
Climaxing a 421 set, his third
400" in a row, with 166 last night
at Columbia, the Howard Campbell
and Dixie Sweepstakes winner sup
planted Hokie Smith, his teammate,
as the pacesetter in the all-star
circuit.
While Tony was giving Columbia
its edge in a 80 win from George
town Recreation, Hokie slipped to
1911 with q 1884 count. Team
scores of 659-1,824 smothered the
West Enders. Joe Di Misa, whose
127 average places him among the
first 10 leaders, was high for the
losers with 361.
Wolfe Boosts Average.
Perce Wolfe zoomed his average
to 1903 for 81 games as he led in
Rosslyn's 2-l victory over Mount
Rainier with 425, one of four sets
over the 400 mark that featured the
heavy counting of both teams. In
the seasons hottest battle Rosslyn
chalked up 1857 against 1885.
Wolfe led in Rosslyn's first game
win, 651 to 606, with I'll, but George
Fitzwater matched his whopper to
give Mount Rainier the second tilt,
$50 to 657 Billy. Stalcup's 1856,
which climaxed a 416 set, won the
Gait Davis entry the edge in the
final skirmish, 649 to $40.
Hugh Crawley, with 4l8, which
included games of Isl, las and 122,
topped Mount Rainiers bid to lower
the colors of the fast-traveling
pacesetters. Fitzwater pulled up
with 4l4. Astor Clarke, the Rosslyn
captain and defending champion,
slipped to fourth place despite his
1893 set, which boosted his average
to 1918.
Chevy Chase Girls Set Record.
Shooting their second season rec
ord in two weeks, a team set of
l,742, the Chevy Chase Ice Palace
Girls, with Lucille Young again
leading the charge with 38l,
swamped Red Circle in the Ladies'
District League at the Lucky Strike.
Jessie Sacrey, who recently shot l72
for a season record, and Sti1hmy
Hart starred in establishing the
mark with 1854 and 345, respec-
lively. A 6l0 game was only 10
pins under their own season rec
ord.
Hiking her top Ladies' District
League average to 1870 with 141-
389, Lorraine GULL watched her
champion Lucky Strike team take
a three-game trimming from Ar
cadia. Ruth Rothgeb's 1864 was
high for the winners.
Rosslyn put the skids under Ar
cade-Pontiac three times to take a
commanding lead in the pennant
chase. Lucy Rose with 349 and
Evelyn Ellis with 1872 turned in
the heaviest counts for the vim

Louis Seen Stundout
Athlete of 1910
By GRANTLAND RICE,
9necial Cnrrespondert of The Star,


HEADING WEST, Dec. Z (N.AN.
A).-The argument started in a
smoke-fille drawing room on the
way through Texas On the way
through Texas is no drive and pitch,
either. And these Texans know
their sports-especially football,
baseball and golf. You also can
add horse racing.
The argument concerned the act
of naming the outstanding star in
each sport who will appear again
in 1910. Football-baseball-fight
ing-horse racing-golf-in particu-
lar.
They can make it simple for you
in these smoking car debates. The
room was packed. Most Of them
knew their stuff. The fight game
was the simplest-Joe Louis. He
was the standout. Who was there
to beat him-Tony Galento or Bob
Pastor? They couldn't quite see it..
Neither could any one else.
FelIer and Di Mag Given Nod
Over Keller and Williams
What about baseball? There were
four top nominations worth con-
sidering-Bob Feller of Cleveland
Joe Di Maggie and Charley Keller
Of the Yankees-Ted Williams Of the
Boston Red Sox.
The debate here was a trif1e
steamy. Di Maggie and Feller
finally finished In front, almost
neck and neck, Di Maggie, each one
admitted, was one of the all-time
greats. But Feller at 20. able to
win "a games with Cleveland, was
just coming into even more pro-
nounced greatness.
Those who had seen Keller and
Williams rated these two 1899
rockies as two Of the main chal-
lengers. Either might grab of the
home run laurel for next season.
either might chase any one for top
honors in hitting. Joe Gordon was
another who picked up few pleas
ant words in his behalf.

But when 1t came to the handicap
pick-the big money winners-the

Challedon did the top job for 1899.
A fast horse and game horse. He

There is a chance these two will
meet in the next 100000 race at
Santa Anita this next season. They

better horse. At least they are the
two top choices at this point.
