SAMMY BAKER By Laufer Brushing Up Sports AND TRIPPE IN JOE WILLIAMS SAYS: NEW YORK-There is no need of further proof that Mr. Arthur Shires the baseball-prize fighter is a most character. There was indicating as much during the 1929 baseball season when fcy dint of his audacity and aggressions he wrote a series of unique chapters in the season's records, in explanation of which he stated that while FEATURE BOUT BABE RUTH TO GET LARGEST BALL SALARY Said to Have Accepted Terms of $150,000 for Two Seasons.

Veteran Retains His Punch, and Knockout May End Contest Suddenly. it taxes tne average ball player years to become a celebrity he intended to become one immediately. Mr. Shires is now involved in a mild sort of scandal. As a prize fighter he is charged by the Michigan commission governing the sport with attempting to fix a fight.

Mr. Shires has not been fighting very long. I think he has had only three fights up to now. And here he is, on the threshold of his fourth fight, charged with larcenous intent. EXPECT BIG CROWD i After the battle with Stanford, Johnny Murrel of the Army came off the field shaking his head and wondering why his legs had gone dead on him "I am not tired," said Johnny, "I coula go back and play another game.

I'm not hurt, but there seems to be something wrong with my legs they just won't get up and move." Maybe that's how that coast" weather gets the eastern boys But Pitt was stronger in the third period against Southern California than at any other time in the New Year's Day game Art (Whispering) Shire admits he isn't hard fOr the ladies to look at, but adds, "You can't put Adonis features in the bank. They accept money deposits." Says Donie Bush, manager of the Sox: "One thing is certain, Shires had better not take a punch at me. have never gone down as yet and you can bet it won't be Shires who'll have the honor of dropping me in the dust at this stage of my career." OP Johnny Dunn and Romeo Malta SuWiTcR By GEORGE KIRKSEY, United Press Staff Writer. NEW YORK Major league clubs will mail out 1930 contracts this month and one of them is expected to stipulate the largest baseball salary of all time. Naturally the contract will go to Sooner or later most prize fighters arrive at this unholy state of affairs, but very few of them have ever managed to make it in such a short length of time.

Williams i This may be ascribed to his extraordinary flare for realism. A prize fighter without a scandal can scarcely be regarded as authentic, and you Plenty of classy ring action is Babe Ruth, somewhere in Florida, and the figures are likely to read: may rest assured that if Mr.

Shires may have been ignorant of the scheme by which his Detroit opponent was to eo off the Dier or take a dive, as fa kins' a knockout is described in the picturesque argot of the sport, and there is no way to prove tnat he wasn t. CUT IN PLANS The truth is that many prize fighters, especially in the romper stage vi meir careers, are participants without knowledge in shadv transactions TjAE; GAMES IN 1922 AMD In practically every instance of faking and double crossine the idea PEEVES PITT eriginates with the manager of the prize fighter who is no infrequently $150,000 for the seasons of 1930 and 1931. Col. Jacob Ruppert and the Babe are understood to have agreed on this figure some time, ago when everyone else was concerned over Miller Huggins' successor as manager of the New York Yankees. After Ruth's contract was settled, the less important business of picking the Yanks' leader was goninto and ended with Bob Shawkey getting the assignment.

Shawkey's salary is understood to be about $20,000. A Publicity Stunt. After Ruth receives his contract he will bring it to the Yankees' office, and the formality of signing it for the benefit of the cameramen and newspaper photographers will take place. If Ruth, baseball's highest paid star, was easy to accept terms, Dazzy 17 OF GRID PLAYERS ter, N. in the 10-round main bout.

Interest in the bout is keen and Manager John L. Hernon reports a large advance sale. The fans are evidently set on seeing Baker in action. He has been in this section twice, defeating Jack Zivic and knocking out Cuddy Demarco. He has knocked out many of the best welterweights in the country, and holds decisions over many others.

He is a real veteran with a punch, and he is meeting a swatter in Trippe. Trippe Pleases Fans. Joe stopped Tiger Joe Randall at McKeesport, and 'followed this by putting Tug Phillips to sleep. He defeated Larry Madge at the Tube City two weeks ago. He came here unheralded the first time and was looked upon as an in Panther Stars Rebel When encouraged ana materially assisted by the promoter.

There have been exceptions of course but generally the origin of the duplicity can be traced to the business associates of the prize fighter. In the beginning the average prize fighter is merely a healthy young animal who has been attracted to the ring by a natural fondness for fighting and a theatrical urge that ultimately will catapult him into the midst of a big championship spectacle. At this stage of his development he is thoroughly honest and tremendously ambitious and any suggestion that he resort to trickery to attain his goal might readily sicken him of the game for life.

Vance drew $25,000 last season and will demand that again. Two members of the Brooklyn board of directors are in favor of trading Vance.

If Vance is sold or traded, he probably will land with Chicago or Cincinnati. Grimes Offered Co Cards. Grimes is understood to have asked the Pittsburgh club for a $20,000 salary nexCseason and Barney Dreyfuss is said to be opposed to meeting the right-handed ace's demands. Another pitcher demanding a big salary is Wesley Ferrell, who won 21 games for Cleveland in his first year in the big leagues. Ferrell wants $12,500, while the Indians have offered him $7,500.

At the outset a vast percentage of prize fighters are coke masons gorgeously dumb, beautifully egotistic and superbly brave. But very few of them remain that to the end. There is something about the grisly, gruelling game that changes them into connivers, petty cheats and broad frauds.

And this something almost invariably traces back to the box office, the manager and the promoter. There are many forms of deception in the ring. Some of these may be lightly dismissed as a part of the game. Others go far beyond the simple bounds of veniality. The public career of Mr.

Abe Attell comes to mind at the moment. Mr. Attell was one of the greatest featherweight champions in history. He was an amazing performer and so far did he overshadow his field tfcat in order to keep busy he made it a practice to "carry his opponents," which is to say he fcught such a fight as to make it appear that he was barely able to win, and in this way he always created an urgent demand Jor return matches. I never felt that Mr.

Attell should be looked upon as an immoral character because of his plan of operation. There should be some reward for genius beyond Olympian isolation. (Ah, very good Williams, Olympian isolation. What does it mean?) GREAT SCHEME TO MAKE MONEY. IN THE case of another champion, a bantamweight of more modern times.

I recall that, his practive was much more criminal in character, consisting as it did of a series of over-the-weight matches in the hinterland in which he would meet the local favorites with the odds always favoring him and then purposely lose, this being his contribution to a gambling coup sponsored by his manager. It also had the added material value of building up a clamor for return matches. This particular champion and his manager made considerably more money out of their hinterland operations than they ever did out of what law legitimate defenses of the title they sanctipned. To the credit of Mr. Attell in this connection I think it should be generally known that he usually called his shots in advance.

To all and ttndry he was accustomed to say: "This guy's a push over for me but Til try to give the customers a show." Crofton 114 BU of Fashion 95 NEW ORLEANS. FIRST Nrhisrh. SECOND Wpc Gpntlrman. Vulnprable. Coppf-.

Dave Spittal, Toronto, was fifth with 307, and re By KNUTE ROCKNE, Notre Dame Coach. A well known basketball official dropped over to my house the other evening and I said to him, "Well, how did you go?" "Oh, pretty good. The crowd only booed me twice." Which brought to my mind the relative difficulties of officiating the various sports. Officiating at a boxing match has been relieved of a lot of its responsibility because of two judges aiding in making the decision.

Officiating in baseball has been made easier because of the use of three officials, and then very few spectators are in a position to really see whether or not the decision as regards the ball and strike or on the base is a fair one or not. Officiating in football is comparatively easy. First of all, there are four of them. Then the decisions in football are based almost entirely on facts, not on judgment. A player is either off side or he is not.

"Give me an opponent and I'll fight, but I don't want them to feed me anyone like Griffiths, a fight that wouldn't draw its breath," Sharkey said.

I believe the top notch fee for basketball is $35 in most college games. In high school circles fees are less. This makes the basketball official the poorest paid of them all and it hardly seems fair. (Copyright. 1930.

MONEY BEFORE THE FIGHT. THAT DEMAND of Jack Kearns for complete fulfilment of the monetary agreement threw the Dempsey-Gibbons fight into the air until a few hours before it was to start, and almost wrecked the Montana boosters who arranged for the 1923 battle at the boom town of Shelby, ft was America's first outstanding bit of fistic financial filibustering.
