But bumble as Christy's syndicate be rinninr was.

ha had Babe Ruth and that cave him bis chance, for the big" Bambino was Just beginning to clump out those home-run records. No one but a persuasive Irishman like Christy could have nailed the Babe, (or Ruth had little use for this "writing business" and all syndicate offers. Christy rushed st him one chilly morning as the Babe and his wife was preparing to board the train for spring training camp. The Babe was suspicious. Mrs.

Ruth was more so, the train was about to pull out. other baseball players were yelling at him to "come along," but somehow or other Christy got the signature. He says the Babe probably signed to get rid of him so he could catch the train. Anyway, it was the first big "break;" presently the tiny syndicate was on its feet and stimulated by more and ever more Infusions of Christy Walsh ideas, was booming ahead. All this sounds mightily like one of those Horatio Alger stories of our kid days featuring the poor boy's rise to fame and riches, but Christy Walsh has pretty nearly lived an Horatio Alger life.

If that fine old gentleman were still writing his stories he'd rind in Christy a plot ready-made for him, and it would be all true. Babe Rupth and his big home-run bat did much for Christy Walsh, but Christy bas done much for the Babe in return. He bas brought bim thousands of dollars for his Babe Ruth series and In barnstorming tours, which Walsh also manages for the big Bambino. Christy never has taken a cent from Ruth of bis baseball salary, but everything else he turned into money was split between them. Money is to the big likeable Babe like water that rolls through the mill race.

None of it sticks to his fingers. So a few year ago it was Just following the barnstorming trip in which Babe appeared at Vaughn Street Park with bis home-run bat Christy withheld Babe's share and put him-Into an anuulty trust fund. Ruth howled like a wolf at first, but Babe's extra earnings go that way. and Ruth no longer howls about It, but has entered into the spirit of the saving game. Right now the Babe Ruth trust account totals J130.000 in two funds.

One of In two years from now will begin paying $500 a month through the Babe lifetime. The other fund, of 8 0.000 pays S400 a year now. So in two years the Babe's permanent income will be S10.000, and prob New Orleans. Feb. 1.

Tha first meetlnr of all fnnfhall man will By L. H. GREGORY (Sports Editor. Portland Oregonian) This will introduce a lean and animated young man with an Irish smile and convincing gift of gab, with which goes restless energy and a supply of ideas that seems never to run low and whose name is Christy Walsh. I could call blm "the famous Christy Walsh." but he would slay me.

He is famous enough in sport circles of America and in the news rooms of many cities, but what is a little fame between friends? To his host of them he is always plain "Christy." It wi this young fellow of the smile and never-flagging ideas who did the literarily impossible feat some years ago of launching Babe Kuth on a career of authorship. For nine seasons since then the Babe bas been one of the world's best sellers. He now handles all the Babe's business affairs, which includes consultation with him before Ruth algns a new contract, and creation of a trust fund that will assure George Herman when he Quits baseball, of at least $10,000 annual income for life. The principal of this fund is so securely tied up that neither congress nor the supreme court enable Babe to get his hands on it. So long as he lives Babe Ruth will get his 110.000 each year.

This same Christy Walsh directs the writing destinies of the celebrated football coaching trio. Rockne, Warner and Tad Jones, whose all-America football team is now "the" recognized all-American. Ask the football players they think more of the simple- all-America certificate goes with the selection than of mention on all the other all-Americans put together. Just the fruuon another of Christy Walsh's Ideas. He has become Knute Rockne' personal business manager, and the same for Ripley the "believe ir or not" cartoonist, and of I don't know how many other famous leaders in sport.

In fact, so much of his time is now taken with these managing duties which started purely as a sideline of his regular business of syndicating sports articles as the Christy Walsh Syndicate, that he recently formed a separate corporation, unique in the world, called the Christy Walsh Management. No price fighters are yet on his managerial string, but some day I suspect a champion will be included in the select circle of the Christy Walsh Management. I first met Christy years ago, when he was a struggling young sport cartoonist. He was author of a cartoon series he called, "Coast Boys in the Big Leagues," and it was good. He was lean then, but no leaner now, and his dark eyes burned witb a restless Are.

Ideas, Ideas they poured out of Christy. He started In Los Angeles while he was still in high school, in 1910. on the Express. His first, "boss" was Harry A. Williams, now president of the Pacific Coast Baseball League, who as sporting editor gave Christay a chance on space.

Christy's first "string" after a full month of rtylng to crash into print, he told me yesterday brought him exactly $4. Later he became a full-fledged reporter and important enough for the city editor to fire, which he did with enthusiasm. Then Christy worked for the Evening Herald which also fired htm. 1 Christy then began his cartoon series, and as further relief for the limitless energy, became publicity director on -the Pacific Coast for a national motor concern. After a few months a new division chief was appointed by the factory and one of his first acts was to fire Christy.

He remained out of a job about two hours. Then he talked the advertising agency which handled this motor car company's account to hire him. and went back to work, In the same office, at the same salary, during the same hours and doing exactly the same work, as before, only with a different title. Next he went East, to Detroit, as national director of publicity for the Chalmers Motor Car Company. He was there perhaps a couple of years.

Christy's motor car "publicity" as I know from having handled much of it, was far different from the Inane "puffs" that emanate from so many auto Cut-Back Offense of Penn-Princeton be held next Wednesday.

1-4 That the attendance to the wrestling championships would pack the most spacious auditorium In this vicinity there isn the least doubt. However, wrestling is not a commercial proposition at Lehlh and the primary consideration Is the adequate facilities and conveniences necessary for the visiting and home collegians. showers and the many other requisites would be glaringly lacking in staging these bouts anywhere else but In Taylor gymnasium. These are the problems that Oraduate Manager Petriken Is grappling with at the present time and hopes to arrive at some system of ticket distribution which will be entirely satisfactory to the host of wrestling followers. With six of the seven grapplers crowned champions at Princeton last year eligible to defend their titles, the champions will be the most attractive In a good many years.

It Is not unusual to have two. three and sometimes four champions competing but quite unusual to have six of the seven classes In one meet. According to the plans three mats will be In service on each of the two days of the meet. LEHIGH GRAPPLERS DO WELL IN NEW YORK MEET 1 The invasion of the Bethlehem soccer team to Baltimore on Sunday afternoon for the first round game in the National Challenge cup tie competition Is creating quite some interest In the Maryland metropolis ai.d a record-breaking attendance is expected for the game. The visit to Baltimore to meet the Canton club will not be the first time the Bethlehem booters have displayed their wares in that city.

The team played eeveral exhibition games there and incidentally both games were against the Canton club. In Baltimore the soccer devotees are predicting a win for Bethlehem, contending that the Canton club must fall prey to the experienced clever Bethlehem machine, but nevertheless look for a hard game and one that will be quite interesting for spectators to watch. Realizing the importance of cup games. Bethlehem is taking the engagement serious and even though expecting no difficulty in turning in a victory and advancing to he second round, the players are training hard as a precaution against any unexpected turn. The Bethlehem dribblers will present the most formulable team In weeks, but at that wil lnot be at full war strength.

One regular who will not be able to don his unitorm is "Bill" Carnihan, veteran center halfback, who is nursing a stubborn arm injury. Carnihan is taking part In no practice this week, forgoing the workouts to receive treatment-While Carnihan will be missed Bethlehem will have a capable understudy to take his place in Matt Wilson, regular fullback, who for this game will be shifted to the hallhack line. This is possible with Biily Allan and Marshall in condition to play. The forward line with Gillespie. Jaap and Mulhall recovered from illness and Injury, will again be at the strongest.

While no definite choice is made of the starting combination, it is likely that Gilleapie and Jaap will take care of the right side of the line with Archie Stark at center forward and Hollo and Massie on the left. Both Mulhall and Malloy will be available if a last minute change Is necessary. In compliance with the usual routine when cup games are played, Bethlehem will be idle today. League games are never scheduled before a cup classic.

METZGER Although much the same in principle the difference between the Princeton cut-back system of basketball offense and that of Pein. shown yesterday, is that the first player to break and turn back does so at a side of the court, instead of near the foul-line, as McNichol has his Red and Blue players do. Thus, when Princeton brings four men down court and one of the two middle men.

No. 2 in this case, makes a break for the basket, he turns from it toward a side-, line, so he will be behind the guard of his forward on that side, as No. 2 is here shown behind the opponent of No. 1. Of course the defense for such a play is for A and B.

opponents of No. 1 and No. 2. respectively, to swap men. The Tigers expect that, and have a variation, as all basketball attacks must have, to meet just such a contingency.

The variation here Is for No. 4, the forward on the other side of the court, to break at top speed by his opponent as the above moves are attracting this opponent. E's attention, and take a long, high pass from No. 1. Just as No.

Lehigh University wrestlers fared exceptionally well in the big open wrestling championships sponsored by the New York Ath-letlo Club Thursday night in dedicating a nwe and handsome gymnasium. Three members of the Lehigh University wrestling team of this season and one former Lehigh grappler, were among the two hundred wrestlers to compete. High honors went to George Shoemaker, a Lehlgb Sophomore, who tipping the beam at only 113 pounds. Is too light In weight to compete for the Brown and White Varsity but Is a dally visitor to the mat. The lightest class competed in collegiate ranks Is the US pound division.

Shoemaker scarcely tips the beam at more than 110 pounds. The Lehigh bantamweight entered In the lis pound division In New York and by wlnu'ng all three of his bouts, captured the championship In this division.
