As it was a perfect day to be talking baseball, the conversation became quite interesting. ii 1 it "Well, 1 don know how you ieiiows ieei, miice Kelley began by way of starting the argument, "but I wasn't even at the game the day I got the biggest thrill out of Joe's home run proclivities.

It was last year in the opening series at Kansas City. "Lee Keyser and Johnny Kling hit upon the idea that they wanted more home runs in their big park. So they decided to build a short fence in right field about 365 feet from home plate. The first day Joe saw it, he bounced two four-baggers over the short fence. As soon as the game was over, the Kansas City club had a crew increase the height of the fence by at least 10 feet by placing a screen on top of the boards.

"Hauser was much upset when he reported to Wilfred Smith Ho! hum! another presentation football captain prizes perhaps more Jiillllllllll Presents Chicago to Pug Lund, but this particular than any he has received thus tar. It KELLEV the park the next day and saw what Kansas City owners had done in an effort to put a quietus on his home run slugging. What did he do? Well, Joe simply smacked three over the screen. That night, they tore fence, screen and all down," Mike concluded as his offering. Eventually Hauser himself got into the spirit of the fanning bee, and he had his say about the home run that gave him his biggest kick.

"Well, I guess there's nothing sweeter to me in baseball than plunking one of Garland Braxton's 'screw balls' over any fence, but that isn't what gave me my greatest thrill since coming to Minneapolis. "One day we were playing Kansas City at Nicollet. Shores was pitching a tight game when the ninth inning rolled around, The score was tied. I was the first batter. Shores, a smart old head, refused to give me anything good to hit at.

Unintentionally, he gave me three balls that were just outside of the plate. I looked around to get the signal from Bush as to what to do on the next pitch. He told me to hit. I parked it on Nicollet avenue and the game was over. I enjoyed that as much as any home run I've hit for Minneapolis because Shores was working so carefully on me," Joe offered.

Well, one thing led to another Chicago Tribune to the most valuable player in the Big Ten Conference. Wilfred Smith, himself an all-around athlete and coach of other years, made the presentation between halves of the basketball game last home runs had been hit that a halt had to be called for it wasn't long before Joe had broken his all-time record for 1933 when he night.

Thurs day thev will start for Indiana, ana if they succeed in upsetting the Hoosiers at Bloomington as effective- lv thev did Iowa at Iowa City, they stand a great chance of hold ing undisputed possession or uecuiiu place in the scrambled Big Ten race. Last night, the Gophers climbed into a three-way tie for third place by defeating the Chicago quint, 35 to 26, even though they could not cope with Bill Haarlow for their fourth victory In six starts. Then comes the first game of the Hoosier series, followed by a return game with Michigan at Ann Arbor Monday night.

Hoosiers Rated High While the Gophers are striving to outscore the Hoosiers, whom Coach Nels Norgren of the Chicago Maroons hails as the outstanding title contender at the moment, Iowa will be at Ohio State and Illinois will invade the Chicago Midway. Both Iowa and Illinois share third place with the Gophers now. And so the Issue, is pretty much up to the Gophers again, with their severest test of the season roming up. Last night, the Gophers played only as much basketball as they had to in order to overcome a stubborn Chicago quint. In fact, the Maroons were easily the most underrated team seen at the Field House In a long time.

Because of the sharp-shooting propensities of Bill Haarlow, the Maroons -were always dangerous, but to the credit of the Gophers, they had the poise and the ability to pull ahead when the going became a little rough. From an observer's seat, it ap peared that the Maroons would have beeg even a better team if Haarlow had not taken so many shots at the netting. That is said in the face of th is noints he compiled, too. Of the first 38 shots the Maroons took at the basket, Haarlow made IS of them. With a beautiful pair of hands, he easily was the most effective scorer seen on the Field House floor since Rieff was doing his stuff for Northwestern, but the Maroons -tr We don't know any baseball fans who aren't glad to take Joe Hauser's advice about not worrying about the Miller first basing problem this year.

Knowing that the financial side BOOKLETS DESCRIBE POTENTIAL COBB BASEBALL LID IS OFF A'S YOUNGEST; ALTROCK, SCHACHT SPLIT do with the permanency of this private slide, we gave some time and attention to the manner in which ticket sales were made in and around the slide Sunday afternoon. Our conclusions were that the sponsors needed quite a little instruction on how to sell tickets and how to keep ticketless spectators from private property. It's a job for professionals who have a lot of experience in handling the public. Those in charge had given little thought to this angle, which, in the portant job in this first undertaking.

Of the thousands who got close to the hill, we observed that most of them were willing to pay if they had been properly approached by experienced salesmen.

PINNACLE Hopes to Catch Saints Nearly Blasted; Pony Line Brings Deadlock By FRED HUTCHINSON Eveleth's lowly Rangers have cap tured only four victories in 28 starts against Central Hockey league and American Hockey association opposition, but Perk Galbraith's athletes from the cold north have been anything but a help to Minneapolis' Millers in their efforts to catch the pace-setting St. Paul sextet. Last night the Millers and Rangers played another 2-to-2 tie at Eve leth to spoil Minneapolis' chances of gaining on the Saints. Minneapolis and Eveleth have failed to reach a decision in four of their last six games. The other two encounters in one victory for each resulted team.

i Ceryance Spoils It Frankie Ceryance, 20-year-old goa lie who did some pretty fair netmind-ing for the Millers in the early stages of the season, has done more than his share in holding the local athletes in check. Ceryance supplented Frank De Leo as Eveleth's goalie on Jan. 11 and immediately turned in a 1 to 0 victory over his former mates. The Millers managed to gain one win over the upstaters in the last six encounters, that coming last Fridav night when Nick Wasnie came through with a most important goal to chalk up a 2 to 1 decision. The Millers' failure to come out on the long end of the count Sunday and Monday nights has been especially damaging since the Saints have been idle.

Now the Millers are still five vic tories out of the with their chances of catching the speedy Saints anything but good. The Millers resume their Inter-league war fare at the Arena Wednesday night, playing the Kansas City Greyhounds. Meanwhile, St. Paul will play at Eveleth Wednehday and against the Rangers at Virginia Thursday to give the downriver aggregation another opportunity to stretch its lead. Fol lowing Wednesday's tussle, the Mil.

lers will be idle until Feb. 11, when they return to Eveleth. While the Millers are playing only one game between now and Feb. 11, the Saints will be engaging in three to enable them to move farther ahead. Following the Feb.

11 strue- gle at Eveleth, the Millers engage St Louis at the Arena Feb. 13, St. Paul in two games, Feb. 17 and 18, and Tulsa Feb. 20 before embarking on their final invasion of the A.

H. A. territory Feb. 22. Pony Line Scores The only pleasing thing about last night's struggle at Eveleth was the new scoring life shown by the Mil lers' "pony" line.

Evy Scotvold and Earl Bartholome combined to count the two goals against the Rangers while the veteran trio of Nick Wasnie, Leo La France and Danny Cox west scoreless. Lee Makarsky sent Eveleth Into a first period lead, counting on Milt Brink's assist at 14:81. Bartholome tied the count at 14:01 of the middle period, driving Scotvold's assist into the laces. Slightly more than 30 sec onds later, Eveleth again assumed a lead with Pete Pleban scoring on a double assist from Babe Mclnms and Floyd Murphy. Scotvold sent the struggle Into overtime, counting on Bartholome's assist at 12:30 of the final period.

The game is booked to start at 8:15 p.m., with a preliminary gam also scheduled.

The Sparklers, who hail from Sha kopee, have added Tom Farrell and Carl Hovland as their outstanding members this year. Last year they went to the semi-finals, of the state A.A.TJ. meet, and they are regarded as a far better team this year. The Ascensions will start with their usual lineup of W'agner and Loose at thef orwards, Barrett at center, and Faust and Sullivan at guards. In reserve will be Otterness, Ward and Robertson.

The Macalester-Gustavus struggle features a three-game state program for tonight. In the other games, St.

Thomas and Augsburg clash on the Pillsbury House floor at 8 o'clock while St. Mary's and St. Olaf meet Winona. A defeat by the Gusties tonight will drop the Macmen into second place and leave Hamline's three-time champions alone at the top of the heap. Hamllne has played only two games to date, winning both of them.

Gustie triumph will send George Myrum's St. Peter boys into a tie with St. John's for the third place. Coach Allan Gowans plans to stand pat on his Macalester lineup, using Hal Smith and Earl Peterson at the forwards, Ed Cohn at center and Bob Halladay and Dana Almquist at the guards. However, Smith suffered a fracture of a bone in his little finger and may give way to Alvln Venzke.

George Barsi will try another new St. Thomas lineup against the Aug-gles in the Pillsbury House Jack Theurer will return to center with the "pony" forwards, Bill Monaghan and Paul Sokol, as his running mates. Joe Crnobrna will continue at a guard while Ben Bil-ski will be shifted from forward as Crnobrna's running mate. Augsburg will be seeking Its second win in five starts, and Coach Jimmy Pederson will stand pat on his lineup which upset Gustavus a week ago. Edor Nelson will be at center, Harold Groth and John Bartholomew at the forwards and Ernie Anderson and Hoyt Messerer at the guards.

The Oklahoman is almost uncontrollable, once he swinsrs into action. His opponent, the referee or anyone nearby, might be a victim of his whims, such as punching, kicking and what have you. The former boxer will be sent against another strong opponent, one fleured powerful enough to make Chewicki brush up on his wrestling manners.

MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT OFFICIALS JP AND WHEN the Central league once more gets four or five members as it should have, it would be well for the organization to take steps to get a real group of officials and then back up these bell ringers to the limit. It was uncalled for Sunday night to have two players take up the job of officiating in the Minneapolis-Eveleth contest.

It seems that Jack Chambers was supposed to have handled the bell, but there was so much objection to his work that the two clubs compromised on players. We don't know why a sweet little riot didn't develop in Sunday's clash. Once an Eveleth forward charged into the net and took a good kick at Goalie Stark with his skate as the defender was stretched out on the ice. Wasnie followed this with a clean right to the jaw of the offending player. The boys weren't too anxious to mill Grid Star Gets Most Valuable Award, Returns to Home in Rice Lake Francis "Pug" Lund, Minnesota's ail-American captain who has been showered with more honors than any athlete In the history of the Unlver-sitp of Minnesota, today cancelled out of school for the winter quarter.

After receiving the silver football, presented by the Chicago Tribune annually to the most valuable player in the Big Ten Conference, between halves of the Minnesota-Chicago basketball game at the Field House last night, Lund left Minneapolis to return to the bedside of his father in Rice Lake, Wis. Alfred Lund, father of the Gopher football captain, has been ill for more than a year with a serious heart ailment. At first, the elder Lund's condition did not warrant Pug's play in the East-West game, and he went West only on his father's request. It was feared that he would not live until his son's return, but he rallied after several relapses. Pug went immediately to Rice Lake, and he has been there most of the time since, along with his brothers, Newland and Merlin, both of Minneapolis.

The Minnesota football star fell so far behind in his studies that he decided to withdraw and remain In Rice Lake. He hopes to return to school for the spring quarter and will try to complete his course in the summer sessions. When Wilfred Smith of the Chicago Tribune staff presented the trophy to Lund last night, he revealed for the first time that the MinnuKota leader received the largest number of votes for first place in the history of the award. Seven Big Ten coaches and eight of the 10 officials voting cast their ballots for Lund as the No. 1 man.

LUnd replied that his greatest reward Was to be named most valuable on the Minnesota team by his own mates an honor which was given to him unanimously and for the second year. In addition to the full size silver football, Lund also received a miniature edition for his watch chain. He is the second Gopher to win the foot ball, Clarence Munn, 1931 all-Amer-ican being the first. And so Minnesota ties the Chicago Tribune record of qualifying two men for the most valuable distinction. Rain Stops California Meet; Picard Leader Glendale, Feb.

Scoring 12 match points out of a possible II on the morning tound yesterday, Picard added six more In the afternoon to land on top with 18.

Cooper collected an even dozen after gaining only four in the morning round. Each collected $100 for the day's work. Leader of both days' play will receive $500 first prize. Rangers' Streak Lands Boucher at Scoring Top New York. Feb.

And Hornbostel, Cunningham Breast the Tape as a whole was damaged. Gophers Start St rone The Gophers started off with Ihej finest exhibition of ball handling they have displayed this year. They gave the impression that they would wipe up the floor with the hapless Maroons. But Norgren had armed the Chicagoans with so much fight that the Gophers were hard put to gain any kind of an edge for the first 12 minutes of the contest.

But tied at 12 points, the Gophers decided it was time to go to work, and they ran up a 20 to-13 count at the half. The Maroons once more braced at the start of the second half. In fact, they did so well that they held the Gophers to one free throw while scoring eight points themselves, and the count was knotted again at 21. But once more the Gophers had something In reserve and they quickly ran up a nine point margin which they held to the end. The Maroons had a abundance of fight, but they carried it so far they suffered as a consequence.

Particu larly at the start of the game the Gopher were a docile lot, fouling only two times in the first half while the visitors were charged with nine infractions. And six times the Gophers spun those free throws through the netting to establish their lead. In fact, it was the Gophers' brilliance at the foul stripe and the Maroons' Ineffectiveness there that put tha MacMillanmen out In front with room to' spare. The Maroons could convert only four of their 12 free throws while the Gophers dropped 11 out of 21. The Maroons were credited with only one less basket than the home club.

iiaanow was the leading scorer with his 15 points as compared to Jimmy Baker's 11 and Roscoe's eight Last night marked the first time that home fans were given a look at the new Minnesota basketball com bmatlon, and it went over in a big way. Dick Seebach succeeded no better than any other Big Ten play er this year in checking the wratth-like Haarlow, but he engineered several spectacular and effective maneuvers that brought a great hand from the crowd. Eddie Stelzer also looked much better at forward than he had at guard, and Bill Freimuth indicated that he will be of much help spelling off Norman at center.

But in hockey, it seems that, the caliber of bell ringers gets worse every year and nothing is done to improve conditions. And there is nothing worse in sports when the important officiating assignment is turned over to the players. NO QUESTION ABOUT HIS SCORING 'THEY CANT TAKE IT AWAY from this boy Haarlow as far as being an exceptional scorer.

His Chicago team takes it on the chin in every start, but this flashy little forward always gets more than his share of points. However, there is some question whether Haarlow should be rated with the all time greats of Western Conference courts. Blessed with a beautiful pair of hands and a most accurate shooting eye, the Chicagoan has a dead eye any time he gets beyond the free throw line. But we don't imagine that any seen this scoring sensation in action would be willing to take Haarlow over Wooden, Eddy and Keller of Purdue, Rieff of Northwestern and many other all around greats that the Big Ten has boasted In recent years. As for the Gophers they came through in fine style last night.

The victory was expected, but the general improvement in the squad's play since its last appearance in the Field house caught th fancy of the 7,000 spectators who looked on. ('- i in If Seebach's guarding and his ability to make plays that lead up to scores, Stelzer's strong work at forward and the manner in which George Roscoe has become accustomed to his new assignment at guard have strengthened the Gophers no little.
