PIRATES SEEK
GOODHURLER
Gibson in Market for Real
Southpaw; Rett Of
Team O. K.
BY JOE SNYDER
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 4.
Skipper George Gibson, of the
Pirates of Pittsburgh, today scan
ned the baseball horizon lor a
aouthpaw siege-gun to help carry
his 1933 campaign.
Bagging of Frrdd*e Landsirom
from the New York Giants, so the
followers say, makes the Pirates
formidable contenders in next
seasons bailie, but the lighting
chief wants more strength in a
defensive way.
Frankly, old Gibby really isn't
particular about whether he lands
a sie/r-gun of southpaw or or
thod ox calibre so long as the fir
ing line is strengthened, though,
If two were ava lable the left
hander would be preferred. He
wants a pitcher of tested ability,
be hu name Halloran. Root. Huu
bell. Brandt or some one else.
Therein, lies the only visible
storm cloud over the Pirate sky.
Gibby plans to shape the cam
paign. anyway, with his other
pitching guns. Sure tonic. Kremer,
French. Melne. Harris, Chagnon
Swift. Ood, Smith and perhaps,
Brame. The latter, hard hitting
Kentucky pitcher, was of doubt
ful value last season and he may
be used in trade talk along witn
4-, one of the surplus outfielders
Barbee or Jensen, or. If necessary
Comoroskv.
Campbell to Try
For New Marks
INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 4, <4*. -Sir
Malcolm Campbell, international
automobile speed champion, will ar
rive in New York from England
Jan. 31 for an assault on his own
five world records. William F
Sturm, Indianapolis, his American
manager, said today.
The Englishman, who last Febru
ary skimmed over the hard sands
at Daytona Beach. Florida, for a
mile straightaway record of 258 968
miles an hour, will try for new'
speeds over the same course this
year.
In addition to the mile straight
away mark. Sir Campbell holds the
following world records: one kilo
meter at 251 340 miles an hour;
five kilometers at 247.941 miles an
hour: ten kilometers at 238 669
miles an hour, and five miles at
242 5571 miles an hour. All the
speeds were made last Feb. 24 and
26
Sir Campbell's car has been al
most completely rebuilt and will be
powered by a new 12-cylinder motor
of approximately 2.500 horsepower
compared with last year's 1.500
horsepower.
This Settles It,
Fellows!

Trades Should Improve
National, Heydler Says
By JOHN A. HEYDLFR
(President, National Leaguei
NEW YORK Jan. 4. <A»>—There
has been no off-season in a quar- j
ter of a century where there have
been so many changes in the line
ups of National league clubs as this
winter. I regard this change as
helpful to the league. It tends to
us a be” nice of play
ing strength and arouses more in
terest.
A notable feature of league prog
ress in recent years has been the
strengthening of our habitual sec
ond division teams. The extent to
which this process has reached may
be best m t forth by the fact that
New York and St. Louis both fin
ished in the second division after
having been generally picked by
most of the critics to fight for the
pennant in 1932. On the other
hand. Philadelphia and Boston
were fighting for the flag up to
mid-season and the former club
climbed into the first division for
the first time in fifteen years.
The many trades smre the close
of the season have helped all of
our club. We hould have the
closest and hardest race next year
that we have ever had in league
history.
Chicago the winner last season
has added the batting power of I
Babe Herman. Pittsburgh will have
Lmdstrom and also the increased
value of her sensational young m
. fielders of last season.
Brooklyn will be helped by Benge
and Philadelphia by Finn. Boston
will have Worthington back next
season, and has added two Infield
ers of promise from the coast lea
rup. New York has made many
changes in the disappointing team
of 1932, and with Jackson back in
the game. Davis in the outfield
and the Starr-Mancuso battery the
giants ought to be more formidable.
The Cincinnati Reds have made
determined effort to improve the
club. They have added many new
players, notably Bottomley of St.
Louis and may be expected to make
a fight to improve their position.
Major league, as well as minor
league, baseball has made, and
will continue to make, the adjust
ments necessary to meet conditions,
and so we welcome 1933 with new
hope and renewed courage.

But put up your rods, gents.

Brooke Screen
Iho.se smoke screens have come
and gone before. Here is the pic
ture behind the smoke:
Dempsey yearns to promote. It
• ’ an instinct w.th him. And here
*-s a pcriect natural, unsigned bv
the Garden. The fact that the
Guys suggestion that Baei
allix himself to the Wise GuVs
brother as manager went for
Sweeney is o:ie chapter of that
story.
Dempsey dashes to New York,
speeds out to the ship that is
bearing Joe Jacobs, Schmeling s
manager, home from Germany.
Joe. who doesn't want his man 1
to take a very short end of the
,’ick pot in a return meeting with
Sharkey, cocks a willing ear to
Dempsey's proposition. Joe tvs
an excellent memory of a crowd
at Yankee Stadium for the first
meeting of Schmeling and Shar
key. and in his mind's eye can see
the same sort of outpouring for
Schmeling and Baer.
m
And Joe believes «as I do* thav
Baer would not be hard for
Schmeling to beat.
So why not grab der kale when
it appears* so promising?
• • •
The good Dr. Kearns says Ban
will knock out Schmeling. George
Blake, who refereed Schmeling’s
knockout of Double Yell Striblmg.
thinks the Butterfly Butcher Bov
would “come pretty clow to beat
ing Max."
After watching Schmeling ji
four fights, and seeing Baer beat
en by Johnny Risko on a night
when the Risk wasn't feeling any
too good. I cannot conceive the
erratic CaJifornian beating suen
a consistent battler as Schmeling
Not over 15 rounds, anyway,
and it's almost a safe bet that tne
fight will be held in. New York,
where they can to for that dis
tance. It seems to me Jacobs
would be unwise to take a chance
on the opmkms of two judges ana
where only 10 rounds are suffered.
It takes a few rounds for Schmel
ing to warm up to his chore—ana
that's just where New York comes
in.
The idea of the whole skit, as
viewed from this corner, appears
to be: Sharkey will push Camera
around in May. A month later
Schmeling will nudge Baer off the
lands*» pe.
Then isn't the stage beautifully
set for the third battle between
Sharkey and Schmeling. with a
nice smoke-up in hanu and a few
extra dimes in pocket?
So put up your cannons my
friends, there's really going to be
no shoot Jig. '*4111
ANENT RUTH’S
NEW SALARY
Reporter* Have Hard Time
Drumming Up Old
Argument
NEW YORK. Jan. 4. </P> — The
New York Yankees may shave a
few nickels off Babe Ruth's $75,000
salary for next season but rumors
that $25,000 might be hacked off
seem to come under the head of
speculation.
"That wouldn't be a cut.’* the
Babe said when told there were re
ports he would be offered $50,000
for 1933. "That would be an am
putation.”
Ruth said he had. as yet, had no
conversations whatever with Col.
Jacob Ruppert over salary terms
but added that he expected to have
no trouble coming to terms again.
"I won't feel so good about tak
tng a cut at all,” he said, "but I'll
listen to reason. I had a pretty
good year, so did the Yankees, and
the colonel has always been fair
enough."
Ruppert said he had not seen
Ruth since the last game of the
World Series and had given no
thought at all to the annual ques
tion of what salary to pay the big
I fellow.
The consensus among baseball
men was that Ruth would not sign
lor less than $60 000 or $65,000 un
less Ruppert should offer him a
contract for more than one year.
The Babe signed a two-year
contract at $80,000 a year for the
1930 and 1931 seasons but last
M ason when he took a $5,000 cut.
the agreement was for only one
year.
White Sox To Be
Just Exactly That
CHICAGO, Jan. 4. —No more
superstitions ideas for Lou Com
iskey and no more striped sox for
his White Sox.
In mid-season last year, the
owner of the White Sox decided
after some urging by friends that
his team might get a change of
fortune if the stockings of the
players were set off with single
red stripes instead of being plain
white The White Sox luck chang
i ed all right—it got worsCk
So for 1933. Owner Comiskey has
ordered a return to the plain white
stocking. The suits for home play
will be plain white with gray ones
worn on the road.
All the 1933 White Sox con
tracts were in the mail, some car
rying bad news and others glad
tidings.
LAJQIE’S STILL BELTING 'EM
One of the most famous second basemen tn baseballs history. Nap
Lajoie. retiml second wicker of the Cleveland Indians, is out to outdo
Babe Ruth. Lou Gehrig and Bobby Jones as a golfer. Above you sea
Nap showing perfect form after a drive on the Lake Worth. FI*.,
course, where he plays from 18 to 36 holes daily. After his golf game,
he spends a few snappy sessions with hte wife at a bridge table.
GRASS GROWER
WU1 BE USED
CLEVELAND Jan 4.—When
the Cleveland Indians play base
ball this spring in the Cleveland
municipal stadium, the -hot cor
ner" as usual will be third base
but the hot plate’ is likely to be
all over the field.
The distance around the base
lines will be regulation in length,
but there may be several "short
circuits" not mentioned In ths
rule books.
It seems that city officials am
considering Installing one of th«i
"gadgets” of modem science—an
electrical grass-growing stimulator
—to put the field In condition and
to keep it that way.
The electrical grass grower, as
contemplated, would be a networn
of insulated wire cables buried six
or seven inches under ground in
all partr of the playing field, ana
quite analogous to an enormous
electrical hot pl&tt.
When current is sent througs
the rabies, heat is generated, whlcn
radiates to the roots of Che grass.
The heat, and possibly some spe
cial potency of the electricity lt
, self, according to various scien
tists. will make grass grow lifts
