an interview. II wouldn't say
outright that the owners are try

doing to the players. The job OF

U. 5. Skiing Chances
Appear Bleak With
Mrs. Lawrence Out
BY the As.oeie.sd Press

KITZBUEHEL. Austria, Jan.
20.-Austrian experts took Q
good look at the United States
Alpine ski team today and ex-
pressed serious doubts about
American chances in the forth
coming world championships.
The United' States squad ar
rived here yesterday from New
York and Immediately began
practice for the International
Ski Festival which opens to-
morrow.
The seven men who are en-
tered in the cross-country and
jumping events of the world
competition left the squad and
flew directly to Sweden.
The Nordic events-cross-
country and Jumping-will be
staged at Falun, Sweden, Febru-
ary 1921. The Alpine events
downhill and slalom races-will
be held at Are, Sweden, starting
February %.
Austrian doubts about the Al
pine chances center on the alb
sence Of Mrs. Andrea Mead Law
renee. Mrs. Lawrence won two
gold medals in the 1852 winter
Olympics, the first American ever
to win the Olympic skiing events.
She also conquered most of the
tricky slopes OF Central Europe
and was a darling of the ski en-
thusiaSts. But Mrs. Lawrence
retired from competition this
season. u

the relatively shallow water of
Neal Channel in the vicinity of
the bridge, and frozen in. Nearby
residents reaped a harvest of
these frozen fish. all of which
were spawn laden. Many of
them were a foot in length.
Years ago. when we had severe
winters around these parts, this
happened quite frequently, and
local inhabitants would gather
and ship them to market as
frozen fish," receiving a lower
price than for fresh-caught
perch.
While this may spell fewer
fish for the anglers at Aliens
Fresh on the headwaters of the
Wicomico, where Undoubtedly
they would have migrated, it
can hardly affect the overall
picture. Yellow perch are so
numerous that only general pol
luton, and heavy at that, seems
to be able to kill them off. And
if the cold weather continues
and the headwaters of the Wi
comico freeze up in good shape,
then when the first thawS come
and the perch start to run, net
ters will not have been able to
ply their trade and we may have
some real yellow perch fishing
at Aliens Fresh.

Meantime, fishing generally has
come to a halt. Waters not
completely frozen over are filled
with floating ice. and the tenn
perature has been too low to
permit much sitting in an open
boat. Trolling for rockfish when
INDUCED at all has been nom
productive. In our opinion. this
is a good time to stay ashore
and get our tackle ready for the
early fishing. A fellow can pick
up a lot Of fill-in tackle pretty
cheaply these days If he'll watch

nati's jump from an also-ran to
a pennant in 1899.
OF course, Ruth, going to the
Yankees from Boston almost 35
years ago, provided the greatest
all-time impetus that any man
could give a team over a period
of years: >
In almost every big deal there's
the overtone of keeping some
other club from beating you to
the punch. whether you really
need the man in question or not.
At the end Of the 1885 season,
for instance, the White Sox put
AL Simmons on the block. Sew
eral clubs were interested.
Jim Dykes. then manager Of
the White Sox. offered him to de-
troit for $4,000. The Tigers
deemed the price excessive.
20. K.." Jim told Manager
Cochrane, II just ran into Joe
Mccarthy downstairs maybe
he's interested"
Before Dykes could leave the
room Cochrane bought Simmons
for rs grand.
AL hit 1927 for Detroit in 1886,
but even that couldn't stop the
Yanks from winning the flag.
Safe in Other League.
There Is no indication that
many, If any, American League
clubs were after Sol Rogovin,
the former White Sox pitcher,
the past winter. But when the
Sox traded him to Cincinnati in
the Willard Marshall deal, they
at least made it impossible for
Sol to come back and beat 'em,
unless he does 1t in q World
Series.
Before Borowy came to the
Cubs in As. there were claims
for him from Cleveland, Detroit
and Boston. But Larry McPhail,
then owner Of the Yanks, told
the other clubs: You won't get
him. He's not going to go some
place else in the league and help
beat us. If you won't let me
sell him to the other league I'll
keep him."
Both the Braves and Phils. in
their recent trades with Pitts
burgh. gave players of a caliber
not calculated to make the Pi-
rates a pennant contender.
Thus these tive clubs helped
themselves at no great expense
except money of which Lou
Perini and Bob Carpenter have
plenty
Almost from any angle the
Cubs could ill-afford to let the
Braves have O'Connell. They
should have done anything to
keep the Braves, Of all clubs,
from getting him.
