Original Frisch Deal Thorn to N. . Giants
TAKE RUPPERT, owner and president of the New York
Yankees, world champions, possesses what the doctoi
ordered in the way of supplying tonic for the pessimists. He
is 100 per cent sold on the idea that happy days will come
again and doesn’t hesitate to exhibit his confidence by spend
ing money on improvements.
Tho Yankee team, stadium and minor league clubs and parks
financed by Rupert represent an investment of approximately $0,000,000
and the bi. chief of Babe Ruth and company thinks baseball vail be one
of the f; r ■ ■ * enterprises to benefit when the depression lifts. He said:
' My confidence in the baseball outlook for 1933 is such that I am re\i'-ing
plans to -wing the grandstand at Yankee stadium into right field. Be
fore i do that I will double-deck the center field bleacher and provide
at least 10.000 more 50-ccnt scats.
‘ Some day it is going to be recorded that a crowd of 100,000 attended
a baseball v me. It’s true that in 1932 not a single club in the major
leagues earned 0 per cent on it*s invested capital, but I understand base
ball made a better showing in the amusement field than the theaters
and motion pictures and the comparative loss in revenue was under that
in football.
“Thi reduction does not mean the game is weakening. It may be
traced entirely to the fact that people did not have th" money. When
depression is killed and panic and fear are beaten America will take to
baseball and other amusements with greater avidity than ever.
■ In 1933 T see major league baseball benefited by the spread of the
farm idea. I am going to widen my own activities in that line. We
must make baseball as a profession attractive to the young man. Not
the least, important factor is giving him minor league employment under
terms which would guarantee his salary through 'he season,
season.
“I have told my scouts to go after every prospect. I want to keep
winning, and if I can take a pennant by fifty games that's all right with
me. The success of baseball depends on each club owner building up to
the highest standard.”

BIRDS GIVE IT ON SLUGGING PAT
LARRY M’PHAIL, president of the Columbus Birds of the American
Association, has given up hopes of landing Pat Crawford, slugging
first sacker, for his manager this year. McPhail is convinced Crawford
will be retained by the St. Louis Cardinals at least until June. “I see
little chance of keeping him out of the majors,” the Bird proxy said.
Therefore, the Bucks will have to look elsewhere for anew pilot.
Columbus had two chiefs in 1932. Nemo Leibold was released in
midseason when the Birds were overtaken by a losing spell and Billy
Southworth was secured from Rochester to handle the reins. Billy re
signed this winter and caught on with the New York Giants as coach
and assistant to Manager Bill Terry.
There are many fans in Columbus who believe Leibold was given
an unfair deal. Southworth was brought in to ‘save” the team, but
the losing streak that knocked off Nemo continued for several days
after the change in managers and the new pilot of the Birds failed to
make any difference to the Minneapolis Millers, who copped the
pennant.
Crawford stands an excellent chance of staying with the Cardinals
now that Jim Bottomley is gone, and anyway there are other big league
clubs that would be ready to grab Pat if St. Louis asked waivers. He
has had two great years in the American Association and was voted the
most valuable player in 1932. He hit .374 in 1931 and .369 in 1932 and
was well up in the business of poling extra base hits.
Pat’s home run total in '3l was twenty-eight. He also collected
forty-ono doubles, thirteen triples and stole eighteen bases. In ’32 he
whaled out thirty homers, thirty-four doubles, five triples and pilfered
fourteen sacks. He batted in 140 runs in 1932 and 154 runs the previous
season. A two-year record of that description belongs in the miracle
class.
Crawford is 31 years old, stands 5 feet 11 inches, and weighs 180. He
has had major trials before, but on his recent achievements in the A. A.
there is every reason to believe he will give Jimmy Collins a hard fight
for the first string job of first-basing with the Cardinals this spring.
Pat bats lefthanded and throws righthanded. Collins throws lefthanded
and Is a “turn” hitter, but rated best when swinging lefthanded. Jimmy
is 28, weighs 165 and stands 5 feet 9' 2 inches.

GIANTS ARE LEFT HOLDING BAG
THE New York World-Telegram is cracking wise about the New
York Giants’ trading system. For Frankie Frisch and Jimmy Ring
the Giants received Rogers Hornsby. For Hornsby they received Shanty
Hogan and Jimmy Welsh. For Welsh they received Doc Farrell, and for
Farrell and Hogan they received a few dollars. Well, at any rate, they
got “new faces.” The Giants now have nothing to show for the Frisch
trade of 1927, and Frankie still is a stai at St, Louis.

ANGLEY TO HEAR WEDDING BELLS
TTOM ANGLEY, lobust backstop with the Indianapolis ball club, has
A won a fair damsel of Sarasota, Fla. The Indians trained there four
years and Angley is spending the winter in the little city on the west coast
of the Sunshine state. Mr. and Mrs. I. G. Archibald of Sarasota recently
announced the engagement of their daughter. Eloise, to the former
Georgia Tech football star. The marriage will take place in the near
future. It is Angley’s second venture in matrimony. Miss Archibald
is prominent in social activities of the younger set in Sarasota and her
father is a member of the Sarasota city council as well as a leading
merchant.

No more holidays for local scriveners until the Fourth of July.
Decoration day they take in stride—the gas buggies race all day. And

Unsung California U. Quarter
Leads \\ esl to Grid Triumph
BY JAMES O BRIEN
I’nited Press Staff Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.—The
west's unsung gridiron heroes won
the shrine’s eighth annual East-
West classic, 21 to 13. before 45.000
spectators here Monday.
Hank Schaldach, California quar
ter back, whose name failed to
appear on any of the all-America
elevens, literally stole -.the show
from the galaxy of all-Americas in
the East's lineup. He scored the
West's three touchdowns, added the
extra point after each, and was the
leading ground gainer of the game.
The East scored first when Bart
Viviano of Cornell went across in
the first period after a fifty-two
yard downfield drive led by Harry
Newman, Michigan's all-America
quarter back, and "Pug'’ Rentner,
Northwestern half back. Newman's
kick for goal was wide.
The half ended with the team
of Andy Kerr of Colgate and Dick
Hanley of Northwestern leading.
6 to 0.
The third period saw Schaldach
suddenly become inspired. He punt
ed to tire 2-yard line, where Steve
Hokuff, Nebraska end, downed it.
Paul Moss. Purdue's all-America
end, punted out. Schaldach took
the kick back thirty-five yards to
the 6-vard line. Buck Koy, Texps
back, made five yards in three tries
then Schaldach drove through to
score.
A moment later. Stafford of Texas
intercepted Newman's pass on the
East's 39-vard line. Koy added
afwenty-one yards and then little
Hiank skimmed through the entire
field for his second touchdown.
The East scorvi again in the
fourth quarter when Gil Berry, *’li
nois back, returned a punt seventeen
yards to the West’s 28-yard line.
Rentner picked up seven yards
around end and then Berry passed
to Fend. Northwestern end. for the
score. Jack Mandery Minnesota
full back, booted the extra point to
leave the West in the lead, 14 to 13.
Schaldach once more came to life,
took Berry’s punt for a 35-yard re
turn to the 7-yard line, and then
scored standing up on a run around
end.
The West, coached bv Dana X.
Bible of Nebraska and Orin Holling
bery of Washington State, has won
five of the eight East-West games.

Trojan Triumph Boosts Jones to Top of Coaching Ranks
BY JOE WILLIAMS
\f York World-Tolceram Snort* Kditnr
NEW YORK. Jan. 3 Three
things stand out in the after
math of the Rose Bowl game.
1. Southern California is one of
the greatest football teams ol the
year. Possibly the greatest.
2. Howard Jones has moved to the
top of the coaching profession.
3. The material with which Jones
has to work is of excellent caliber.
Without meaning to take any
thing from the traditions of the
university or the skill of Jones, I
should say that factor No. 3 is the
vital one. No coach is going to get
very far without material. True,
some get farther than others. Jones
apparently belongs to this group.
Young men who want to play
football naturally gravitate to where
the game is encouraged, if not act
ually exploited. Also, it means some-

Heller Is Losers’ Hero.
BY GEORGE H. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent
PASADENA. Cal, Jan. 3.—The great football juggernaut of the Uni
versity of Southern California today claimed its secund consecutive na
tional championship, boasted an unbroken string of twenty /ictories and
pointed to a record of having won four tournament of Roses games in
as many starts.
These honors were predicated on the 35 to 0 walloping the Trojans
dealt in the annual Rose bowl game to the previously unbeaten University
of Pittsburgh team.
The game was the most decisive in tournament history, exceeding
even Southern California’s 47 to 14 victory over Pitt in the 1930 contest.
Pitt really seemed not so much outclassed as the score indicated. But
Southern California played inspired football, scoring on sheer power
when that was necessary and meantime taking advantage of every bobble
the Panthers made.

ner of the 1932 juveniles, naturally
ranks as the winter book favorite,
but there are some who believe W.
R. Coe’s speedy colt will not be
ready to race in the blue ribbon
event.
Kentucky’s hopes, as usual, will
ride with Colonel E. R. Bradley, who
holds the record of having pro
duced three Derby winners, includ
ing Burgoo King. 1932 victor.
Boilermaker, withdrawn from racing
last season when he was injured, is
perfectly sound now and Colonel
Bradley rates hitn as his best hope
for a fourth victory. Boilermaker is
another son of Bubbling Over, 1926
Derby winner and sire of Burgoo
King.
C. V. Whitney, whose Equipoise
and Flight, winter book favorites
the last two years, did not go to the
post due to injuries, has another
strong contender in The Darb.
Willis Sharpe Kilmer’s Sun Archer
and L. Rosenberg’s Kerry Patch,
surprise winner of the $90,000 Bel
mont Futurity, also are rated high
ly. If other 1932 juvenile stars sur
vive the rigors of training, the field
of 3-year-olds in the 1933 Derby
should be large and classy.

NEW YGRK, Jan. 3.—Amos

“Unchanged’ was the latest re
port on his condition from Dr. Max

There are other allurements, but
: they aren't especially pertinent to
. the immediate discussion.
A few weeks ago Pop Warner re
signed from Stanford, or was asked
to resign, following a sing season.
The gentleman complained that he
wasn't getting the kind of material
he desired. Obviously the kind of
material he desired were linesmen
who could break through and backs
who could break loose.
This was an interesting confession
coming from Warner, who is
popularly supposed to have re
i WTitten the game. It was the
equivalent of saying that even he,
the high priest of the sport, could
not win unless he had something to
win with.
Still, I do not agree with the
scoffers who say that Jake the

half back, both of whom were
selected on most all-America teams,
were the standouts.

Smith that Trojan backs cantered

plays while Fitt made no yardage
over his position. Meantime, he

Heller left the field late in the
| final quarter, a bruised but unbeat
j en all-America, carrying with him a
j stirring ovation from the 84,000
i spectators in tribute to his great
i defensive work and his fine ball
carrying.
Homer Griffith, Irvine Warburton
and Gordon Clark, traveled many
yards for Southern California, most
ly over Smith's tackle position. Ray
Sparling and Ford Palmer turned
| in fine games at end.
Joe Skladany and Ted Dailey
played brilliant end games for Pitt
to compare favorably* with the
Southern California pair but even
with Heller they were not enough
to turn the tide.
Score First cn Pass
Southern California’s prettiest
touchdown was its first, a 52-yard
pass from Griffith to Palmer, after
Griffith and Clark carried the ball
from their 37-yard line to the Ptt 33.
Palmer took the ball over his shoul
der, a mighty leap carryng him high
enough to keep it clear of the arms
of Mike Sebastian, who had paced
him over the goal line.
Pitt’s two best efforts came in the
second period when Heller and Se-
I bastian picked up twenty-two yards
•on successive drives and Henry
Weisenbaugh, sub full back, hroke
away for a 29-yard run to the South
ern California 24. On the next play
Heller's pass fell in the Southern
California end zone. Immediately a
partially blocked kick gave Pitt the
ball on the Southern California 28-
yard line, but four tries failed to net
a first down and Pitt’s best threats
were stopped.
Pitt Fumbles Costly
Griffith scored Southern Califor
nia's second touchdown in the third
quarter when he took a flat pass
| and scooted s he necessary two yards
{to the goal. This resulted after
; Troy got possession of the ball
through a Pitt fumble on the Pitt
7-yard line.
In the fourth quarter Warburton
climaxed a sixty-flve-yard Southern
California drive, going over Ernie
Smith’s tackle frc-m the 1-yard line.
Warburton scored a few plays later
on a ten-yard dash after taking a
lateral pass from Clark. A Pitt
fumble gave the Trojans the oppor
tunity for that score.
A blocked Pitt punt on the 15-
yard line led to the last score.
| Southern California recovered and
ran quickly to the 1-yard line. From
there Dick Barber, substitute full
; back and intercollegiate broad jump
J champion, crashed across.

In many cases this is no doubt

on the winner, and the importance

the success of the teams he handles.

WITH LEFTY LEE
Don Johnson again proved his abiiitv to
get the wood on any alley when he
iourneyed to the Uptown drives and rolled
a total of 709 to cop first prize In the
annual 190 scratch singles classic. John
Blue took second place whn he scored 685
on the final souad to pass Ray Roberson,
who copped third place with 683. Fourth
place went to Jack Hunt wuth a score of
667. while Johnnv Fehr copped high single
game prize with a count of 279. The lower
a\erage bowlers failed to roll in this event
as in past vears and it is a good guess
the management will raise the handicap
allowance next vear. The ordinary bowler,
who carries an average of from 180 to 190
is still in the majority, but with such
stars as the winners in this event to com
pete with, the o.'dinarv pin men felt they
had no chance with the small handicap.
An example of the 190 bowler's argument
is this: Johnsons average is 216. John
Doe's is 190. Each plaver enters from
scratch, which reallv gives Johnson an
edge of 26 pins per game, or 78 pins over
the three-game route.
Jess Pritchett has been on the side lines
for several weeks, but felt better Satur
day and rolled three practice games to
see if he could still find the pocket. The
result was games of 235. 223 and 299. a
total of 757. The usual ten pin fell on his
final hit. but the seven pin refused him
on a ball that was sauarely in the pocket.
A committee of so-called experts from
various parts of the country oicked the
best 100 bowlers for the Bowlers Journal
and became steamed ud so much that
they could not stop until they nad named
103 However, they failed to mention Jess
Pritchett. Don Johnson. John Blue. Red
Farnan or Everett Scott. Any selection
that numbers as low as thirty of the
country's best, without including some of
these names, is a lot of boloney.
Eighty-two bowlers rolled in the head
pin tournament on the Illinois alleys over

better?” Os course you don’t know.
It's one of those futile arguments
that land you out in the rough be
hind a boulder without a niblick.
All you definitely know is that Pitts
burgh, for one, was not good enough.
I am sorry the young men did not
make a better showing. Not because
of the university, but themselves.
They had been forced to play a
cruel schedule, a schedule that
seemed to be less sporting than
commercial. They deserved a more
gracious reward at the end of the
long, bruising grind.
And yet it may be that I lack fair
ness in insinuating that the Pitts
burgh schedule was drawn up with
an eye to the box office. Have you
noticed how many other universities
are loading up with money games
for next fall—even when there is no
assurance that there is going to be
any money around?

Kid Gleason, Veteran
Diamond Figure, Dead
67-Year-Old Coach of A's, Former White Sox Manager
and Star Pitcher and Infielder, Succumbs
to Heart Disease.
By United Press
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 3 —William
(Kid* Gleason. 67. one of the most
famous and colorful figures in base
ball's old guard, died at his home
here Monday night of heart disease.
Gleason had been ill for several ,
months as he rounded out his sev- 1
enth year as coach of the Philadel
phia Athletics, and his forty-sixth
year on the diamond.
He entered baseball as a pitcher
for the Phillies back in 'B7. won
great fame on the mound and later
became a second baseman. He
reached the peak of his career in
1919 when he piloted the Chicago
White Sox to the American League
pennant.
Long With White Sox
Gleason was one of the veterans
of America’s national pastime, and
for nearly fifteen years was a fix
ture with >.he Chicago White Sox of
the American League.
Under Gleason s management
the White Sox swept into the
American League championship in
1919, only to go down in the ig
nomy of the “Black Sox” scandal
when some members of the team
conspired to throw the world series
to the Cincinnati Reds.
The “Black Sox” year was the
first year of Gleason’s management
of the team, though as early as 1907 I
he had been connected with the
Sox as coach. The late Charles Co
miskey, owner of the White Sox,
stood by Gleason through the scan- j
dal and continued him as manager
until 1923.
Developed Stars
Gleason was credited with devel
oping half a dozen stars of the
“Black Sox.” Among them were |
Eddie Cicotte, great right-handed i
pitcher; Claude Williams, southpaw
hurler; Happy Felsch, outfielder,
and Swede Risberg, infielder.
Proudest of the veteran baseball
player’s achievements was his dis- :
covery of Ray Schalk, one of the
greatest catchers of all time. Scout
ing for the White Sox in 1911,
Gleason saw Schalk play for Mil
waukee of the American Association.
The sparkling catchcr-to-be was a
puny, undersized athlete at the time,
but Gleason saw his possibilities.
Ignoring criticism and ridicule, he
brought Schalk to Chicago where
under his tutelage the catcher
rapidly rose to stardom.
Member of Orioles
Gleason started his career with
the Philadelphia Phillies in 1887 as i
a pitcher. He continued until 1891.
Three years later he was with the
Baltimore Orioles in the days when
the Orioles were one of baseball’s
finest teams.
From 1895 to 1900 he played sec
ond base for the New York Giants
and then went to Detroit for two
years in the same position. From
1903 to 1907 he was with the Phillies
again, when a blow from a pitched
ball ended his active playing career.
He then joined the White Sox as I
coach.
