CRESTON, Ia.-Mickey Owen,
the suspended National League
catcher, is working in front of
crowds again but it's vast
change from the days when he
played for Brooklyn.
Owens latest speciality is auc-
tioneering of purebred livestock.
He has completed a course of
training here and now is travel
ing from sale to sale with his new
coach, "Col." Harvey S. Duncan,
veteran purebred Poland China

took a short fling in the Mexican
league, Owen still hopes for an

He says that when and if his

between the time the baseball
season ends in the fall and spring
training begins.
Of auctioneering, he observes
that the sight and judgement of
purebred hog breeders is quicker
and keener than that of umpires
although their decisions are not
always announced as rapidly.
"You can't fool them," Owen
comments. "You have to give
them the straight goods. 1t
doesn't pay to feed them any
curves. They know more about
livestock than I ever will"

10 tons the amount of annmon-
lum nitrate that can be carried
aboard an incoming vessel.
'Any ship exceeding that a.

Harborman James A. Burns
said.

Col. Warren D. Lamport, gene

he's safety transcends shipping
interests.
What is needed right now is
clear, reliable report on what
ammonium nitrate is. Explosive
or fertilizer? Then draw up a
uniform list of regulations to
apply in every port
If nitrate were classified ma
tionally as high explosive and
banned for every congested
area, as Fire Chief William Fitz-
gerald has done locally, the solu-
ton would be simpler, Lamport
said.
"Then possibly, ships would
be assigned to carry nitrate ex-
clusively And move directly
from loading zones to destina-
tionS," he continued.
Not Far Enough
All U. S. ports must obey a
recent Coast Guard regulation
which requires a. permit before
unloading.
To Fitzgerald, who didn't wait
for the Texas City disaster be-
fore clamping on rigid restric-
tions, the Coast Guard doesn't
go far enough. He maintains the

Offer Of $4,000
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Charley
Trippi, Georgia's All-America half
back, arrived here today and found
an offer of 100000 awaiting him to
play football for the next four years
for the New York Yankees OF the
America Conference.
Trippi went Immediately into a
huddle with Owner Dan Topping
and Coach Ray Flaherty OF the
football Yankees and Larry Mac
Phail, president of the baseball
Yankees, who are trying to land
him for both clubs.
Whether they reach an agree
ment was not made known imme-
diately. Trippi is one of the most
sought-after athletes in collegiate
ranks today because of his ability
on both the gridiron and the base
ball diamond.
The Georgia ace told newsmen
that Charles Bidwill, owner of the
Chicago Cardinals in the National
Football League, had agreed to
match Topping's offer of a four
year contract at $4,000 a year, plus
a bonus.
He also has been offered $4,000
to sign a baseball contract with the
Boston Red Sox, Trippi disclosed.
He said Earl Mann, president Of
the Atlanta Baseball Club in the
Southern Association, had offered
him 5000 to sign a contract calling

Wagner Signed for 36th Year,
To See Florida for First Time

Neither General Manager j.
Roy Hamey or Honus would re-
veal the figures on his 18th coach
ing contract but it's pretty safe
guess it called for more than
s35 month Wagner drew when
he rigned his first professional
contract with Steutenville, Ohio.
in 1895. And out of that he had
to buy his uniform.
Wagner drew as much as $10,-
600 in one year but the story the
oldtimers like to tell on the
Dutchman is one concerning the
time he refused a $4,000 contract
saying $500 was all he was
worth. That was during the
early days of the Century when
the American League was being
organized and he was offered in
the neighborhood of $4,000 TO

I Washington's Capitols were slow
starting, but gained momentum tc
finish out in front of the fast
breaking Toronto Huskies, 81-66
last night, thereby chalking their
14th straight victory on the home
court.
The victory, a hard-fought, action
filled affair, gave the Caps a full
six-game margin over their nearest
competitor, the New York Knicker-
bockers.
An enthusiastic crowd of 1885
fans saw the Huskies, paced by Ray
Hurley and Mike McCarron, take an
early 1915 lead, but with Freddie
Scolari showing the way, the Caps
closed the gap and surged ahead by
a 20-16 count at the end OF the
first period.
The Huskies, employing a fast
break which momentarily awed the
Caps, came within two points OF
knotting the score toward the end
of the second period.
But Scolari and Capt. Bob Feerick
weren't to be outdone and together
they accounted for IA of Washing

During the final period, with the
Caps enjoying 13-point lead the
Huskies again put on a burst OF
