NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—<*>>—You
ouldn't h&ve squeezed an eye-lash
etween Mel Ott and Duck Med

lugging and timely hitting honors

The official averages in those
clscellaneous departments, releas

As a team, however, the Gas
louse gang from St. Louis, paced

cards, outclassing even the heavy

urprlstngly slugging Phillies.
Ott took the individual slugging
hampionshlp, finishing with a .588
verage for the season by hitting
ir 314 total bases in 534 trips to
lie plate. Med wick, however, topped
veryone In sight by belting the

riving 138 runs across the plate.
The Cards’ outfield wound up

percentage of .577. He trailed Ott,

ROUNDUP U
By SCOTTY HESTON
(Pinch Hitting For Eddie Brietz)
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—WP»-Jim
my Johnston, a tranquil citizen who
wouldn’t start a civil war unless he
thought It would stir up a little pub
licity for his fighters, is accusing
Joe Louis of drawing the color line
.... He says Joe won’t fight anoth
er negro . . . Jimmy claims he of- j
fered Joe fights with John Henry |
Lewis and Jack Trammell, but Joe
said no . . . Jimmy would like to
make something out of it—even at 1
Christmas time.
Maybe you've never heard of
the Jamaica Kid ... in the old
days he wn the happiest man ,
In the fight racket, a gigantic.
Jolly, laughing negro ... He ,
never got very far and finally (
got to renting himself out as a (
punching bag at the fight camps (
. . . Now he stands outside the
New York fight clubs begging (
.... His body is broken, his (
sight completely gone . . . Even
the laugh is a little hollow now
.... A sign—the most pathetic ’
sign on Broadway — hangs j
around his neck: “Please held j
me. I am Jamaica Kid,’’ It ,
reads .... They say, too, that (
Sam Langford's sight is al- ,
most gone now ... It has been
ebbing for years, and now he ,
can distinguish little more than <
light and dark.
Mayor John Boyd Thacher of Al
bany wants the Albany baseball
team In Albany, which seems logi
cal enough . . . Mayor Prank Hague
of Jersey City wants the Albany
team In Jersey City . . . Why not
one of those New Jersey "no-decis
ion" bouts between the two to de
cide the issue? .... Powel Crosley,
owner of the Reds, has announced
his displeasure over a decision by
Commissioner Landis . . . But It’s
doubtful If Crosley will try to ques
tion the judge’s dictatorship . . . .
In picking their All-America teams,
the boys really gave the freedom of
the press a workout ... Ed Wid
seth of Minnesota, Larry Kelley of
Yale and Gaynell Tinsley of L. s.
U. were the only players chosen by
all the leading selectors . . . Inci
dentally, how did Tinsley ever get
through three years of football with
out losing that front name?
Many Applicants
For Illinois Job
CHICAGO, Dec. 23.—(JP)—Ten
thousand applicants are seeking, in
directly, one job in Illinois—mem
bership on the Illinois state athletic
commission to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Packey Mc
Farland.
Governor Henry Homer esti
mated today the number himself.
He gave no hint when the appoint
ment will be made, or who the lucky
applicant will be.
The position pays $4,400 a year.
Probably the best known of the
candidates, in boxing circles at least,
is the “old bald eagle of Boul, Mich.,"
Nate Lewis, sometime also called
the “night mayor of the Rialto.”
Lewis has been conected with box
ing for 40 years as manager, pro
moter and matchmaker.
FalUton Takes

lanky forward, who got 14 points,
the other members of the outfit
managed to take the game to a 39
to 18 concliision. Royster was next
high with 12.

-The injury Jinx entered the Rose
Jowl scene today, threatening to
keep Washington’s hard hitting
ophcmore fullback. A1 Cruver, out
if the New Yeat s day game with
Pittsburgh.
The first casualty since the two
[rid squads started hard training
his week dampened enthusiasm a!
he training camp of the Huskies
0 Santa Barbara. Inland, at San
Jernardino, the Pitt Panths wjere
theored by the return to duly of
lobby Larue, halfback, recovered
rom a leg injury.
Cruver was hurt in blocking pract
ice. Thought at first to be nothi
ng more than a bruised back, the
njury was shown by an x-ray to
lay to be a broken rib, team physi
tian Don Palmer said, adding it
nade Cruver's appearaanace doubt
ul in the classic at Pasadena.
Coach Jimmy Phelan scheduled
kull practice for his Huskies aft-,
r drilling them In defense against
orward passes. Although Pitt lias

hances on the Panthers uncorking
t surprise aerial attack.
Extraordinary secrecy shrouded
he Pittsburgh drills. Mentor Jock
Sutherland ordered a canvass

)oubleheader Idea
A Pain To Coaches
NEW YORK. Dec. 23.—(/P)—'The
asketball ‘doubleheader” idea which
as caught on tremendously In the
last during the last couple of years,
ias been a fine thing financially
or the teams that participate, but
:'b causing a lot of headaches for
he-Eastern coaches.
Until Promoter Ned Irish thought
f the idea of leasing Madison
iquare Garden and booking strong
ocal teams against good outside
pposltion, Intersectional games
rere a rarity so far as Eastern quln
ets were concerned. Occasionally
ne would take a brief jaunt Into
he mid west, where the field
louses could hold paying crowds.
>ut they seldom took their lickings
eriously.
Now with mid-western, southern
nd even teams from the Pacific
oast Invading the Garden and the
lippodrome to play before large
rowds, the local coaches and play
rs are finding It hard to maintain
heir prestige.

TALK
TO
PARENTS
Chasing Rainbows
By BROOKE PETERS Cllt RCH
For a mother and father dcliber- j
ately to court old age, and by neg- i
lect permit themselves to grow old
prematurely, Is a great pity. But It ’
Is possible to go quite as far Wrong
In the opposite direction. By thej
effort to look and act younger than j
they are, parents may become rid- j
icuious ana lose me rcsix'ci ui me
young.
The child who feels or says "Be
your age" to or about his parents
is not In an enviable position - nor
are the parents.
There is the father Who has
never passed the rah-rail stage of
tire sophomore. He may enjoy sport
ing with the young things, but Is
he sure that they enjoy him? There
is the girlish mother still breathing
baby talk in her son's ear and
clinging to him like a flapper. Or
one sees mother and daughter out
together, looking equally vivacious
and coy, except that mother's com
plexion is more obviously out of a
box.
If one’s object In life Is to stay
young, it really is a mistake to have
a family. How’ can one guide and
train children to maturity when i
one's own Ideals are still adoles
cent? There are many mothers to
whom the greatest compliment they
can i\ceivr Is. "You look like your
owm daughter.’* That Is their am- .
bition in life; not wisdom, nor ma- 1
turity, nor the graciousness of years
accepted.
The adolescence from which they
haie never emerged Is more than
skin-deep too. for the effort to de
tain youth nnri push off old age
occupies so much of their time that
they cannot achieve the develop
ment of mind and spirit which life
.should bring.
There is much that youth has
not and cannot have, much joy and
peace of mind that only maturity
can bring. Why throw these away !
to chase a mirage?
A gold nugget, recently found In
the Murray gold district of Idaho,
