Hack m Hacked
Where ft Hurts
Those *7f” Salaries
Ouestfwhen the scribes tacked that cognomen of “Hack”
on Wilson, few ever figured it would! apply to hw salary
within ft very few years, yet that is exactly what has hap
pened and is he burning up! And can you blame him?
The terms offered “Hack” by the St Louis Club are not
unmindful of a similar case Washington had on its hands a
couple of years ago this very. time. In the Cards’ offer to
Wilson of |7,500 and anything over that he earns, baneball
bugs locally recall a like, proposition made to “Goose”
Goslin by the domestic interests,, after Goose had fallen on
in his hitting on top of a year wherein he led the Ameri
can League.
Practically the same thing. If
not the precise thing, has bo
fallen Wilson, the main differ
ence being that he is traded. ih
the winter, whereas Goslin
wasn’t traded until' the season
preceded by his salary difficul
ties, was well under way.
Equally Binding
Then as now, we could not
understand haw magnates cart
expect players to do their best
under uncertain salary arrange
menus. It seems to us a con
tract to be equally binding
should specify exactly what a
player must do in order to get
sn additional amount of money
as well as state what that addi
tional amourV shall be.
Neither of these elements
characterize the St. Louis of
fer to Wilson, nor did they the
Washington proffer to Goslin.
A player has just as much
moral right to demand a big
salary and tell the clubs to
leave it to him to attend to
the fielcftnc and batting or
pitching, as a club has to ask
a player to accept a minimum
contract and leave it to the
elub to pay him more than
stipulated if results warrant it.
■ That’s haphazard business,
or rather no business at all,
and it wouldn’t go in any other
industry in the world except
baseball.
Honesty Hot Questioned
There’s no doubt in our mind
the Cardinals will do well by
Wilson if he does well by them,
any more than we believe that
Washington wouldn’t have paid
Goslin all he was worth when
the snag was struck here two
years ago, but if baseball is
going to be conducted that way,
why have contracts at all?
Wilson’s willingness to take
a 50 per cent cut over his $30,-
500 contract of 1931 sounds
more than reasonable. It isn’t
at the age of 32, to be suspected
he’s anywhere near through.
A .324 hitter up to last year,
like Goslin, he was bound to
have a poor year in there with
the stick, and baseball fans are
inclined to believe his failure
to hit last season was more
the result of the law of aver
ages than the loss of batting
acumen.
Compare ''for a moment the
1932 wage of Dave Harris,
doomed to adorn the Washing
ton bench if present plans
work, with that offered Wilson.
A pinch hitter at best. Harris
will get $6,000 for his labors.
Wilson, a known slugger and a
regular on any man’s team
should rightfully expect more
than $7,500 and many a fan is
hoping he gets nearer $lO,-
000 or maybe $12,000.
Since when has baseball
found it necessary to employ
its hitters on a commission
basis, anyway?

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11.—Start

When Jim Landos, the famed
Greek god of the mat world and
idbl of Washington’s Greek
colony, returns to the Capital he
will find his Greek compatriots
dividing their attention.
Louis P&ntos. a medium-sized,
smiling Greek, with graying hair
about his temples, through his
cnagnificent 666 set to take the
lead in the Howard Campbell
Sweepstakes firmly installed him
self in the hearts of his Greek
brothers.
Louis is no flash in the pan.
His brilliant performance came as
no surprise to his friends, who
nave watched him batter the pins
; for sizeable scares over a five-year
stretch.,
In Obscure Leagues
: The Greek ace has been limit
ing his rolling to obscure or sec
ondary leagues and thereby es
caped notice.
At present he is setting the
pace in the Columbia Heights
; League with a 120 average, and
that league boasts such crack
shooters as Paul Harrison, Eddie
Espey. Charley Walson, Perce
Wolfe and Tony Santini, none of
whom need introductions to even
casual bowling fans.
Besides, he is topping the Tem
ple League bowlers with 117, and
has a similar average in the Rec
reation League. Last year he led
the latter circuit with 119, and
the year before Ollie Pacini went
or. to national fame by topping
Pantos’ 119 by a few pins in the
Recreation loop. Four years ago,
when 115 averages were consid
ered powerful, Pantos held that
pace in the Columbia Heights
League. Only seven men in the
city could boast higher averages
and all were in the major leagues.
Pantos, teamed with Nick Cha
conas, the mighty Greek wizard of
a decade ago. attracted country
wide attention by setting a dou
bles game mark of 305 (since
topped several times), in a match
against Pacini and 1 Santini two
years ago.
Works Long Hours
Louie is a market man and
must put in long hours at his
stand.
Because of his taxing work he
has not been able to roll in the
majority of the big events out
side of the Campbell classic. His
general averages make Pantos a
strong contender for city rank
ings this year, which would be
greatly strengthened should he
win the Campbell test.
Last Saturday’s performance
has stirred up ambition in him.
Henceforth he is a formidable
contender for all honors he main
tains. He has signed .with
Barnes Auto in the National
Capital League.
Paul Brill, the quiet, unassum
ing shooter who is second, is not
to be taken lightly. His matter
of-fact manner of rolling is full
of possibility. This is his first
year in the big show, but he is
no youngster, and, while his rec
ord is not that of a world-beater,
he is tough at all times.

Maryland Quint Aims To Avenge Defeat
OLD LINERS
PLAY LOTOLU
TOW
By G£ORG£ < SIMPSON
Maryland University will Lave’
a chance to atone for its basket
ball defeat at the hands of Loyola
College, of Baltimore, last year
when the Evergreen tossers in
vade the Ritchie gym to battle
Coach Burton Shipley’S lads to
night. Action will begin at ff
o'clock.
Odd as it seems. Loyola is the
collegiate champion of Maryland
though the university represent
ing the State succeeded in cap
turing the Southern Conference
championship, a rich prize.
Bea* Md. Last Year
Loyola was one of two teams
that vanquished Maryland on its
home floor last winter, the other
being its old rival, Washington
College from Chestertown. Md.
Tonight’s contest will have
added significance as it is the
last in the Ritchie gym. Mary
land’s next home contest is wtth
Navy on January 20. dedicating
the new and mammoth, flel
house.
Probable Line-op
Coach Shipley will probably
nominate “Shorty’’ Chalmers and
Ed Rankin, forwards; Jac.. Norris,
center, and “Bozfe” Berger and
Charley May. guards, as his start
ing line-up.
Tanneyhill, guard-, and a new
comer on the Loyola five, and
Carlin, forward, may annoy the
College Parkers. Rehkopf, sub
forward for the
was schooled at Georgetown
Prep.
Important Game, Too
The Catholic L .-Gallaudet meet
ing in the C. U. gym is another
important game on the college
basketball menu here tonight.
Gallaudet. not up to last year’s
standard, is advancing rapidly
while Catholic University, off to
a slow start, has gathered head
way.
Coach Jim Pixlee’s George
Washington outfit has a date
with the Quantico Marines’ five
at Quantico, Va., tonight. It
marks the first time the Colonials
have stepped on foreign floors
this season.
TOP WRESTLERS
STUD DADD
Though Leo Pinetzki. the levia
than of wrestlers, will be the
magnet for local fans at the
Washington Auditorium Thurs
day night, others on the card will
also receive notice. It’s difficult
to assemble a more varied collec
tion than Ray Steele, Herby Free
man, Sandor Szabo. Rudy Dusek,
Cy Williams. Don De Laun, Jim
Corrigan and Bennie Ginsberg.
There is every assurance that a
near-capacity throng will be on
hand for most every wrestling fan
here wants to fasten his or her
eyes on the .big fellow, Pinetzki,
who will grapple Don De Laun,
the Canadian. The latter will
look like a Singer midget in com
parison to the - gigantic Polish
matman.
Ray Steele, whom some say is
the uncrowned wrestling cham
pion, is returning to the Audi
torium after many weeks of ab
sence. He will battle Herby Free
man in the co feature. The other
headline attraction involves San
dor Szabo and Jim Corrigan, who
showed plass though losing to
Rudy Dusek last Thursday. Dusek
is also on the program, billed
with Cy Williams. “Doc” Wilson
scuffles with Bennie Ginsberg,
the tough Chicagoan, in the open
ing number at 8:30 p. m.
Lewis and Koenell
Lead Soccer Victory
With Lewis and Koenell boot
ing the ball through the uprights
twice each, Columbia Heights
soccerists experienced little dif
ficulty downing Gaithersburg, 5

RATIONALIZED
FOOTBALL
By Harry Costello
Georgetowa Backfield Star 1910-1913
CHAPTER XX
One is not far wrong who states that nearly every historical
athletic friendship and natural rivalry in the South Atlantic
revolved around University of Virginia.
The place of Virginia in the
center of these historical athletic
friendships and natural riv
alries has ever remained unques
tioned by those who have relied
on history.
The institutions of Virginia
which were more or less involved
in the creation and competitions
of historial rivalries, or which
in one manner or another af
fected those rivalries, included
William and Mary, Hampden-
Sydney, Washington and Lee,
Virginia, Randolph-Macon, Rich
mond College, Emory and Henry,
Virginia Military Institute, Vir
ginia Polytech and Roanoke.
The history of William and
Mary is too generally known to
require retelling here.
Oldesst Methodist School
Hampden-Sydney grew out of
Prince Edward Academy, which
was opened to students in Janu
ary of 1776. The name was
changed to Hampden-Sydney in
1777. James Madison and Pat
rick Henry were among the
trustees.
Randolph-Macon is the oldest
Methodist college in the United
States. The idea of Randolph-
Macon originated in 1828. A
charter was granted by the Vir
ginia Legislature during the ses
sion of 1829-30. It was opened
to students In October of 1832.
Emory ond Henry was named
after Bishop Henry (representing
the Church) and Patrick Henry
(representing the State). The
idea of this school was first
known in 1833. It was a school
with a manual-labor idea behind
it. It was opened to students
in April of 1838.
Historical Outgroth
Roanoke College was the his
torical outgrowth of. a private
. The National Daily
Lutheran foundation called Vir
ginia Institute. It was estab
lished in 1842, and chartered
as Roanoke College in 1853.
The idea of Richmond College
was discussed as early as 1830.
It was the result of a Baptist
movement. In 1832 the site for
the college was purchased. On
July 4, 1832, it was opened as a
manual-labor school and was
called the Virginia Baptist Sem
inary. It changed its name March
4, 1840, to Richmond College.
V. M. I. History Romantic
Virginia Military Institute was
organized in 1839, as a State of
Virginia military and scientific
school. It started operations as
such in 1841. It's Civil War
history is one of the most ro
mantic known in a country
packed with romance.
Washington and Lee was first
Augusta Academy, and one of the‘
earliest, if not the earliest, schools
in Virginia. It next was known
as Mt. Pleasant, and then as Lib
erty Hall (during the Revolution
ary War).
Liberty Hall was established in
Lexington in May of 1776. Liberty
Hall Academy was chartered in
1782 by the Virginia legislature,
and was the first literary institu- !
tion incorporated by the State
after the English Colony became
a Commonwealth.
Next it was chartered as Wash
ington College, and Robert E.
Lee became president. Shortly
after the noted Southern general
died (October, 1870), the school
became known as Washington
and Lee.
(The twenty-first chapter of Mr.
Costello’s “Rationalized Football”
will appear in tomorrow’s Times.)
MONDAY—JANUARY 11—1932
SACKSREPLIES
TO JOHNSTON
CHICAGO. Jan. 11.—Leonard
Sachs, manager of Jack Demp
sey, retorted to the statement of
Jimmy Johnston, Madison Square
Garden matchmaker, informing
the former champion what he
must do to get a fight with Max
Schmeling in June. Says Sachs:
“I will sign Dempsey to
fight where, when and with
whom I want. I have offers
tucked away from reliable peo
ple who are prepared to lav
it on the line, and Jack’s end
alone would be in excess of
the entire gate of the Schme
ling-Stribling contest In Cleve
land.”
Johnston asserted Dempsey
must meet Johnny Risko or Tom
Heeney in the Garden in April
to show he has sufficient power
to meet Schmeling.
“Dempsey isn’t interested in
what some promoter wants or
thinks,” continued Sachs, “but
what the public wants. They
are the ones he has endeavored
to satisfy.”
