One Ans,uer


In the last few months it mas been
a privilege to talk before many
groups of servicemen who come
from every part Of the country-in-
Guiding those who have never left
the country, those who have seen
action-those who have been wound
ed.
Most Of the sports writer's have
given what they had to give for this
service.
The usual manner of procedure
comes through questions from the
army or navy audience you face.
In keeping an official box score,
/ would say that over 90 per cent
of the queries thrown your way con-
Germ football. baseball, boxing and
racing.
No one has yet asked me to an
swer any question about basketball,
hockey, track and field or bowling.
There have been a few scattered
queries about golf and tennis.
This doesn't mean that there are
not millions interested In basketball,
bowling, track and field together.
There are just as many interested
in hunting and fishing. Probably
more. But the point Ii that most Of
the arguments are built around base
ball, football and boxing, with racing
getting q smaller share.
What do they want to know about?
What team will win the National
league pennant = The American
league pennant-the World Series?
What about the Dodgers, always
sure fire? What about the Yankees?
Could Dempsey have whipped Joe
Louis? How good is Beau Jack? Was
this 1913 Notre Dame team better
than Rockne's best? These are the
types Of questions they fire at you
from those who have come along
from the East and West, the North
and South.
The argument Sports
Baseball, football and boxing are
the main argument sports. especial
ly the first two.
For example, the two major
leagues represent a long parade Of
smaller hamlets and country towns
from which most Of the stars come.
Baseball and football belong to all
AZ states. They are writing games
and reading games and on the read
ing side they appeal to many more
millions than all other sports Jumped
together.
They have an appeal for the kids,
the veterans. the men and the wom-
en-.
They have such names to give as
Ruth, Cobb, Johnson, Mathewson,
Dickey, Alexander, Thorpe, Grange,
Speaker, Nagurski, Baugh, Hutson,
Luckman, DiMaggio. Feller, Ted
Williams, Gehrig, Sisler, McAfee,
Bertelli-or such teams to follow as
the Yankees, Dodgers, Cardinals,
Notre Dame, Minnesota, Michigan,
Southern California, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Duke, Texas-and we are
barely warming mp.
Out In front on the reading side
this is q football and a baseball
country-with boxing and racing
next In line.

Question Of Salary

II would be difficult for the minor
leagues to offer more than $50 or
SIS per game, maybe 500 In the
bigger clubs. That kind OF money
isn't very attractive 10 the athlete
who must have more than average
ability and who must be willing to
work hard for Il.
The usual argument is that minor
league baseball doesn't pay high sal
aries. That Is quite true. but in this
case the young players are willing
TO play for small wages because
there's room at the top-and those
top berths pay big money.
II is also our opinion that 'inter-
national football Is no more than
. pipe dream. Football Is funda-
mentally American. Even In Can
ada they won't play our brand Of the
grid game. Soccer Is the chief Eu-
rOpean sport and the residents Of
those countries are quite cool In re-
gard to the American type Of foot
hall.

Among the Missing

Among the many cities once In
professional football ranks were
Oorang, Ind; Pottsville, Pa; Rock
Island. ILL.,; Portsmouth, Ohio, and
Marion, Ind. They aren't there now.
Evidently the game didn't prove
profitable in those towns. Only six
teams remain of those % members
of the 1925 league-the Chicago
Bears and Cardinals, Green Bay,
New York, Detroit and Brooklyn.
Expansion didn't seem to pay In
the long haul. The game benefited
from contraction-it didn't meet with
sufficient approval until the field Of
competition was reduced.
Owners Of play-for-pay teams have
been fortunate in at least one re-
spect. They haven't had to lay out
any great amount Of cash to ac-
quire playing talent. Colleges and
universities throughout the country
turned out the stars for them. But
II has become more and more OBJ
vious that the demand has been ex-
ceeding the supply. More than one
team has gone through seasons with
huge gaps In the backfield or line,
only because the ready-made talent
wasn't available.
The situation isn't much better re.
garding minor leagues In profess
sional football. Until recent years
the salaries paid in the National
league weren't high enough to at
tract college players. And even now
the average professional football
man gets less than one-third the
money paid the average profession
al baseball player. Granted, the
season is shorter.

During several years past the hospital board members

Sugar Supply
Still Scant

The sugar shortage in Ypsilanti
is still acute and there seems no
hope that the situation will change
for at least the next two weeks,
according to local wholesale groc-
ers.
The beet sugar which will be
coming on the market October Is,
may bring relief, but the recent re-
lease by the Government of 1000
one-hundred pound bags OF sugar
to Detroit and Michigan, which Ser.
ator Homer S. Ferguson said Sep
tember Is, was promised, was a
mere drop in the bucket compared
with the demand, Raymond Stokes
OF Symons Bros. & Co., said today.
He also intimated that faulty lis
tribution of the supply, saying that
people are running here, there and

hear that someone has sugar.

cries are so far behind on filling
orders that they have refused to
take any more until they can catch
up on their deliveries. The cause for
this, the spokesman for Lee & Cady
says, is not shortage OF sugar but
the lack OF transportation. The
