HERE'LL be no incandescent tempers, not even super-heated conversation, when the noble 600 sports writers and athletic critics appointed by Dan Ferris to name the year's outstand. ing athlete get down to business.

In fact, the year's choice for the James E. Sullivan Memorial Trophy will not even involve aa argument. Donald Budge, sandy-haired California youth, wh0 almost single-handed brought the Davis Cup back to the United States, is as good as selected now.

But the gentlemen of the fourth estate, who are members of the committee, usually ignore the moral and intellectual requirements and go right to the point of naming the guy who did something really famous. And who fills the bill this year better than Donald? Here's one boy that they can't nag about his expense accounts or his lack of The way he led his team to victory was enough to land anybody's vote. Boy, Page That NOT only did Donald win the Wimbledon Cup, the American championship and practically single-handed clinch the Davis Cup for U.

but he had the nerve to turn down an offer, said to have been $100,000, to turn professional. Donald so far at least has scorned the filthy lucre of professionalism and decided for at least one more year not to take it. Next fall it may not seem so filthy and, in any case economic necessity may fumigate it for hirn. Today, though, Donald is whiter than snow and is shoulders and ears especially those ears above all competition. Last year there was acrimonious discussion and some hard words kicked around the circuit, because Jesse Owens, the standout of the Olympic Games, world record-holder and the greatest athlete of many a decade, was turned down in favor of Glen Morris, winner of the decathlon at the Olympic Games.

In Owens' case, for perhaps the first time, the conduct of a candidate influenced the voting. Notwithstanding there was a pretty fair natural argument favoring Morris over Owens, the fact that Jesse was under suspension by the A. A. that he had flirted with the professionals and that he was on the state payroll as a page in the Chio Legislature influenced the -vote which normally would have named him No. 1 in the race.

Owens later turned professional and made a fortune quickly so he should worry about Morris getting that piece of sheepskin. Jesse took the cash and let the credit go a modern tendency. Bobby Jones Started It. BY way of showing that a lean-. ing toward professional doesn't affect the balloters very much, the first man ever named for this award, in 1930, was Bobby Jones.

Now Bobby always has been a high-minded young man. If ever an athlete led an exemplary life it was tihis same Jones. When his name came up for voting that year he had Just won his "grand slam" in golf the American and British amaieur championships and the American and British open titles as welL But he became involved in a and entered the "business-man' golfing class. This invalidated him from competing again for an amateur title. But the committee almost unan.

imously voted the honor to Bobby, notwithstanding his fosj of amateur standing. Subsequent winners of, th honor include: Barney Pennsylvania all-around track and field star; Jim Bausch, another i aurouna cnampion; Glen Cunningham, holder of the world rso ord for the mile run; Bill Bon-thron, Cunningham's Princeton rival and conqueror; Lawson Lit, tie, another whose golfing prow, ess carried him high; and Glen Morris, Olympic star. Jf we except Bobby Jones, none of the previous winners of th trophy accomplished as much athletically to gain the award Budge. If he fails to get the hon-or, 1 it will be the biggest upset in this year of upsets. Another Amateur Raid.

Aa in the past, O'Brien's pre ent effort is causing grief to the amateur world. In other days the tennis body wrung its hands in'S dismay as Tilden, Lott, Vines and Perry one by one yielded to the O'Brien blandishments and cash. In producing his present show, O'Brien has prof essionalized some of the most famous amateurs in the world, including Karl Schaefer, world and Olympic champion; Miss Maribel Y. Vinson, North American titleholder; Frederic Mesot, Belgium's figure skating champion, and a score of other stars.

Last summer O'Brien decided that an ice ballet, to interpret art on skates would be his next gift to the world. He wanted champions and he got them. He spent hundreds in trans-Atlantic teleDhone calls before hp induced Schaefer to turn professional Then he talked Miss Vinson into relinquishing her amateur standing and enter the money ranks. More trans-oceanic 'phone calls won over Alfred Trenkler of Vienna, and Mesot. Next he signed up Miss Frances Claudet, Canadian champion; Guy Owen of the Minto Four, thus disrupting that championship quartet; Ted Cave, the ice skating buffoon; Miss Mary Jane Halsted, the Simpson Sisters andf a score of regional titleholden, whom O'Brien bills as the Icicles." So the raider of the amateur tennis ranks now has virtually cleaned the amateur skating world, of its stars.

H. F. 1LLER GO TO INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE OUTFIT Hemsley and Vosmik First Brownies likely to Be Traded, Manager Street Declares. Uy the Associated Press. MILWAUKEE, Dec.

Willard Herschberger, 26-year-old catcher who starred for Newark in the 1937 Little World Series, was obtained today by the Cincinnati Reds in a deal which sent two Cincinnati players to the International League club. To obtain Herschberger, who hit .322 in more than 90 crames for New ark the past season, the Reds sent Eddie Miller, an infielder, to Newark outright and gave the Bears Les Scarsella, first baseman, on nntlon. The Reds also paid Newark an iinnnnnunced sum of cash. Rochester of the International League sold Infielder Frank More house conditionally to the Pniladei-phia Nationals. Morehouse batted .266 in 70 games last season.

ThomDson to Lead Barons. Fresco Thompson, former major leae-ue star, was named manager of Birmingham, Southern Association. Thompson appointment completed the managerial roster for the Southern Association and gave the Iood its third playing manager. 1 he others are Walter Millies, Chattanooga, and Jack Richards, At lanta. Thompson, slated to play third for the Barons, succeeded Kiggs Stenhenson as pilot.

He was with the Minneapolis Millers last season Bill Skiff, former catcher in the American Association, was named assistant to George Weiss in the operation of the New York Yankees' farm chain. Fort Worth of the Texas League bought Joe Gibbs, a right-hand pitcher, from Kansas City of the American Association. Savannah, of the South Atlantic League, sold Pitcher Bob Davis to New Orleans of the Southern Association. Kansas City sold Pitcher Beryl Richmond to Dallas of the Texas League. St.

Paul of the American Association announced the purchase from the New York Giants of Leroy Anton, a first baseman who finished brilliantly with New Orleans last season. Anton hit .329 in 41 games. Previously he had been with the Giants' Jersey City farm. St. Paul purchased Gordon (Dusty) Rhodes, former New York Yankee righthander, from Baltimore of the International League.

Rhodes won five and lost nine games for the Orioles last season. Giants Sell Madjeski. Out of yesterday's shopping tour, r'uring which such names as Van Mungo, Joe Medwick, Dennis Gale-house and Harlond Clift were mentioned, only one actual major leaguer was sold. He was Eddie Madjeski, reserve catcher of the championship New York Giants, who was sold outright to Louisville of the American Association. The Giants, here to strengthen their Jersey City farm, also sold Joe Dwyer, Jersey City outfielder who saw service with Cincinnati last seas-son, to Little Rock.

The New York Yankees also yielded a bit of news by selling Outfielder George Stumpf of their new Kansas City farm to St Paul. Most of the trading and selling that will occur before the mart moves to Chicago next Week was expected to be made by the American leaguers, who have to worry about the Yankees' 154 games a year instead of Just a world series. There was quite a duel going on between the Detroit Tigers, Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians for players, with the St. Louis Browns holding a trump card in Clift Cleveland, Chicago and Detroit all were after him while the Brownie officials played a waiting game.

In swift succession, he denied he had offered Ixm Chiozza to Cincinnati and that Freddie Lind-etrom, former Giant star, had been given a job in the Giant organization, although Lindy was seen in many huddles with him.

Though Coach Eddie Davidson, who is entering his second year as basketball coach, will be forced to work with new material, the Billikens are expected to have a good season. Denny Cochran, the East Side sophomore who starred on the Billikens' football team, and his broth er, Bill, another gridder, are top-notch players. Several other sophomores, Dick Brooks, Danny O'Sul-livan, George Hasser, Les Duden-hoeffer and Bill Foehr, are expected to make a determined bid for starting posts. The two Cochrans, Foehr and O'Sullivan are all over six feet, and Brooks, a six-footer, was a star at Springfield, 111. In addition to Captain Sid Mudd, the only holdovers from last season are Al Dudenhoeffer and Tom Fleming, guard and center, respec tively.

Len Gorman, varsity foot ball center and guard last season, is not expected to come out because of a stiff scholastic schedule, and Center Henry Huettner is handicapped because of a late afternoon job and probably will not return to the squad. Missing because of graduation will be Frank Keaney and Marty Rossini, who co-captained the 1936- 37 squad; Bobby Bohn, forward, and Jack Macheca, a guard. The schedule: Dee. 11 Missouri, there. Dee.

Missouri hunters abandoned their decoys and blinds with the close of the annual 30-day waterfowl sea son yesterday. Reports to the Conservation Com mission indicated the ducks ran the gauntlet of barrages fairly well this year, although many nimrods returned with good bags as a reward for frozen feet and frost-bitten noses during the recent cold wave. Wild turkey in the Ozark ranges now will lure the sportsmen. The gobbler" season opens today and extends until the end of the year. The bag limit for turkeys is one for each hunter during the season.

center) Les Cagle, St. Louis halfback with Cochran in the FRIOK SAYS HE VOULDWELCO RUTH AS N. L. CLUB MANAGER By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Dec.

1. What is coming to be known around here as the Babe Ruth sobbing concerto (with lots of tremolo, professor), leaves Ford Frick, president of the National Baseball League, slightly cold. Don't misunderstand. Frick sincerely admires the Babe, both as a player and as a man, and he appreciates all the Bambino did for baseball. But he simply can't shed salty tears at the thought of the big fellow's not having a job managing a major league club.

"I'm not even so sure about the Babe wanting a job," he mused. "Despite these heart-rending pieces I've been reading about what a pitiable figure he is forced to spend his days shooting golf and moose and following the sunshine in win ter I cant help thinking there must be many folks in a worse fix." Would he, Frick, welcome the Babe as a manager of a National League club? Would Welcome Babe. "Of course I would, if one of the owners wanted him and could af ford to pay his salary. But the dif ficulty is that Ruth is accustomed to making big money, and he still thinks in big, round figures. "I should think that if he wanted to manage a club bad enough he would be willing to start at a moderate salary and prove his managerial ability.

He hasn't proved he can manage a team, you know, even if he was the greatest player in the world. "Any club owner who hired him would have to assess the Babe's value strictly as a manager. A manager is not a drawing card; or at least, there never has been one who was. Nobody ever credited Joe McCarthy with pulling a customer into Yankee Stadium, did they? Miller Huggins and Connie Mack always were inconspicuous. Bad Things to Say.

The Babe recently was quoted as saying he never would enter baseball park again "as long as he ived," except as a manager of a big league team. Also, he said that Brooklyn never would win a pennant so long as it hired "cheap managers" like Burleigh Grimes. "He shouldn't talk like that," said Frick, sorrowfully. "Baseball was pretty good to him. He has all the money he can ever need and he having a good time." For himself, the Babe seems to become reconciled except for an oc casional outburst when he is reminded of the grave injustice done him.

Unless he changes his mind, he said he wouldn't even attend next week's major league meeting at Chicago. "I've got too many engagements around here," he said. "I just got back from another hunting trip yesterday. Besides, nobody out there is looking for a manager." Bike Team Quits. NEW YORK, Dec.

There wasn't any phase of the game he didn't do well as far as the duties of his position were involved. The coaches chose Libero Bertagnolli, Washington University's great lineman, as Graham's running mate.

Graham and Hays moved up from the second team, while Baze and Adams made their first appearance in select company. With the end positions ably assigned to the Tulsa wingmen, the coaches picked Capt. Herb Hediund of Drake and Les Cagle of St Louis University for the tackles. Hediund was practically the unani- manded the Colonel. And Blondy did.

Cubs Hot on Mungo. The Chicago Cubs seemed hot in pursuit of Van Mungo, Brooklyn's truant fireball ace, and it appeared they had the inside track on the deal if such a deal is made at all for the pitcher that quit Flatbush in a huff last season.
