Glass Dedicated to Sport Placed in Church Window New York. Jan. 30. An unfinished corner of the Nave of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine today stood dedicated to the principle that there is a kinship between the religion of the soul and that of the body.

Bishop William T. Manning in behalf of the Episcopal church, assigned a place in the great Cathedral for the stained glass window, for which the world of sport had contributed $150,000, accepting the contribution from Julian S. Myrick. chairman of the sports and games committee, In a service which he called "not quite like any eerv-' Ice ever held anywhere." As a wintry wind swept thru Uie open space which will soon house tlie graphic story of ahletic competition. Bishop Manning hailed the event as "a witness against that mistaken view or religion which was expressed in the puritan Sabbath and In the old blue laws." Secretary of War Dwight W.

Davis, donor of the historic Davis cup now in the custody of tlie French tennis authorities, was one of the speakers at the exercises who traced the growth of athletic competition from its localized begin? ning to Its present universality of appeal.

New York, Jan. 30. (JP)-One sports champion who is not trying to avoid challengers for his title is Bert Barry, 25-year-old British holder of the world's professional sculling championship.

Barely a month has elapsed since he won the title by defeating Major BERT BARRY. James Goodsell by a margin of 10 lengths at Vancouver, but Barry already Is looking forward to his next race. Depends on Challenge. Who his opponent will be he does not know. It depends, he says, on who challenges first.

The young champion is now most interested in defending the title in some place where he can make enough money to repay his expenses in winning the championship. He traveled nearly half-way around the world to challenge Goodsell. Barry already has gone thru two gruelling encounters in a short time. In September he raced Goodsell and was defeated by 10 lengths. Not sat lsfied with the result or the condi tions under which the race was rowed, he immediately challenged again.

The second race took place Dec. 26, and the young Englishman easily reversed the decision. May Meet Goodsell Goodsell may try to regain his title and will be given the first opportunity, if he challenges Barry. Another possible challenger is Joe Wright, the American and Canadian amateur champion. There is much talk in Canada, Barry said, that Wright may turn professional if he Is successful in the Olympic sculling.

Bert Barry is not the first champion of that name. Fifteen years ago, when Bert was first taking up the sport of sculling, one of his coaches was his uncle, Ernest Barry, who won the championship in 1912 and held it until 1920. Germany Is Far Behind U. S. in Track Athletics Chicago.

New York. Jan. 30. Ar There isn't much opportunity (or public scrutiny of the 1928 baseball holdout list but Indications are that it includes at least three of the best known pitching aces of the majors Dazzy Vance of Brooklyn, Charley Root of the Chicago Cubs and Waite Hoyt of the Yankees. Root, who had a good deal to do with tlie mid-wason flash of the Cubs, Is known to have returned his new contract unsigned but what demands, if any.

have been made by Vanre and Hoyt is open only to conjecture. Club owners have a habit of regarding these affairs as of private concern, except when some such figure as Babe Ruth forces the discussion and facta Into the open. Vance has been one of the highest paid flingers in the National league for years, drawing down around $15, 000 annually. Altho probably near the end of a brilliant career, Dazzy is considered so valuable by the Robins that they rejected an opportunity to trade the pitcher for Rogers Hornsby at the time the Giants were peddling their second-sacker around the circuit. Vance showed a winning and losing record of only 16 and 15 last season but he was third In the earned run allowance rating, permitting tne enemy tally at the rate of only 2.70 runs per nine-inning game.

Hoyt, whose pay check last year also was probably around $15,000, has a sensational record to use as an argument for more money. The Flatbush undertaker won 22 and lost only 7 games, besides finishing second in the earned run rating with a mark of 261 Root, participating in around 50 games, showed signs of the strain toward the end of 1927 but finished with a record of 26 victories and 15 defeat. His "wrinkle ball" was one of the most deceptive deliveries exhibited by any of the National league moundsmen. When the Yankees get thru dickering with their players over 1928 rrmfrart It is llkelv that the DaVTOll of the world's champions will be well excess ol sjuu.uuu xor uie year, a record for all time in baseball. Di.th'i tin nnn sntnrv tnnnlnff the 'list.

Is the same as last season but uenng, Moore, ripgms, Combs and Koenlg all may be considered eligible for Increases. Gehrig already has had a substantial boost, signing a three-year 'contract that gives htm $20,000 this year. $25,000 in 1929 and $30,000 in 1930. Mark Wan fx Tris Speaker for Job in f)iiitr dnrilpn Philadelphia, Jan. 30.

HP) Tris Speaker, baseball's gray eagle, will be a member of the Philadelphia "Athletics next season If If, In this Instance, represents a -sum of money, perhaps $5,000, maybe $10,000, but if Connie Mack, "astute manager of the Athletics, and the sparkling center fielder "can get together on the salary question local fandom regards It as 'good as settled, that Speaker will roam In the Athletics' outer garden the coming season. Mack makes no secret of the fact that he wants the veteran badly to round out his outfield now that Ty Cobb and Zach Wheat, members jof the club last year, are gone. He tried to get Speaker last year but Tris made a prior promise to the Washington club. "I expect to be In touch with 'Speaker by Tuesday," Mack said to-iday. "I leave for Florida Wedncs-; day and I would like to sign him for the Athletics before I get away."

30. UPy Northwestern, Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio State will provide the fireworks in this week's Big Ten basketball competition while Purdue serenely watches the contests from its top rung of the conference ladder. Northwestern will have an opportunity to gain undisputed possession of second place in the race when it meets Minnesota at Evanston tonight. The Purple cagers have won three games and lost one. If they defeat Minnesota tonight, they will have a percentage of .800 or 50 points more than Wisconsin.

Because of Minnesota's defeat by Chicago Saturday night, 26-20, Northwestern is favored to win handily. Ohio State, now tied tor cellar position with Illinois and Iowa, will meet Minnesota at Minneapolis and Michigan will play Chicago at Chicago on Saturday. Purdue's tenure on first place is good for two weeks more. It will be idle until Feb. 11 when it tackles Michigan at Ann Arbor.

ughie Jenn ings Is Seriously III Srranton. Jan. 30. (LP) Hughie Jennings, known at one time as the world's greatest shortstop, and until a year ago assistant of the New York Giants, was near death today from an attack of spinal meningitis. Jennings was released by the Giants a year ago when he became ill.

After resting in the south, he' came to Scranton to live with his sister, Mrs. J. J. O'Boyle. Friday he became seriously ill and yesterday he lapsed into unconsciousness.

George Huff's dictum that most of the money which college football has earned has gone back to pay for seats for people to see it, is borne out by the report of the University of Illinois Athletic association for the fiscal year which ended June JO, 1927, Altho alumni and students contributed more than $1,600,000 to build Illinois' stadium, the association also has given outright for stadium construction, maintenance and collection expenses, nearly half a million dollars, $479,316.96.

This represents the greater part of all the profit Illinois ever has earned. As usual, the report shows that football profits alone foot the bill for all athletic activities and projects. After paying $72,134.43 for football expenses, the profit for the 1926 grid season was $227,743.45, but when the lllini finished paying for all other operations, activities, equipment and improvement, this was reduced to $38,306.11. The 1926 season was the most prosperous in Illinois annals, with the exception of 1925, Grange's last year, but it is predicted that the 1927 gain will nearly equal 1925. Basketball was the only other sport which showed a profit, $12,086.54.

PARRERSBCRG WINS. (Courier Special Service) Parkersburg, Jan. 30. Parkers-burg Cyclones defeated Waverly Independents in a thrilling game here Thursday evening, 32 to 30. The visitors were three points in front up to the last minute.

Cottrell shot the basket that won for Parkersburg. Hawkey efuls Maurice Andre, former Moline outfielder who was with the Hawks for a while last season, hu been signed by Roclc Islapd for 1928. Illness bothered him some In 1927 but ho reports he Is fit as a fiddle again and ready for a great year. John Hancock, former University of Iowa football star, will not return to Colorado Teachers college as coach. He ia now head grid mentor at Mississippi A.

it, M. After leaving college he was an assistant, at Colorado Teachers, going from there to the southern post. Now the Tutors want him to return as head couch but he has refused the offer. It develops that Jimmy Reese, recently sold by Oakland of the Pacific Coat league to the New York Yankees, almost signed a Cedar Rapids contract a few seasons ago when Bill Bpeas was managing the team there. The Bunnies win the almost" championship, for Fred Schulte and Ossie Orwoll.

recent figures In big money deals, also slipped out of Cedar Rapids' grasp at the last minute. Three players from Clayton county league, an Independent baseball circuit In northeastern Iowa, will get tryouts with Mississippi Valley league clubs this season. Louie Freymann and John Meyer, former Elkader pitchers, have been signed by Marshalltown, and Lefty Wolf, portslde hurler from Gutwnberg, has signed a Moline contract. These three were considered the class of the Clayton loop last season. Manager Roy Malcolm of the Waterloo American Legion hockey team was expecting word today from some team In regard to a match for Friday, Feb.

10 He is hoping to schedule the Chicago Athletic association, which held the Hawks to a 3-1 score earlier in the season, for that date. University ot Wisconsin will not be able to play here on that day, but there Is a possibility that the Madison. Independents, may be able to come here for an encounter If one of the'ie teams is not slated, Winona. Minn is the next choice. This team leads the Southern Minnesota Hockey association.

Two player deals, one completed and one pending, are announced by the Cedar Rapids baseball management. Harry Green, first baseman, has been sold on condition to the Mission club of the Pacific Coast league. The sum is 81.000, or the Bunnies may take two Mission players in rx hange for him tf they would rather have the men than the money. The other deal Is not yet completed but the Bunny bosses hope to peddle Dntrh While, tobacco-chewing champ of the circuit, to Peoria of the Three-I. He had a trial with Decatur ot that loop last season, but drifted back In Cedar Raptds via Marshalltown for more seasoning.

CARLETON TODAY Purple Cagers Must Defeat Norse, men If They Expert to Stay In Midwest Race. Courier Special Srrvkft Mount Vernon, Jan. 30. With much of the final standing of Cor nell college in the Midwest confer ence basketball race depending on the Carleton-Cornell game here tonight, Coach Judd Dean has been rushing his cohorts along at a fast pace the last week in preparation for the crucial battle. It Is imperative if Cornell hopes to win the third consecutive Midwest conference cage title that they win the remaining five loop games which start with the Carleton battle on Monday.

The surprise defeat of the Purple by Ripon over a week ago put a new crimp in Cornell's chances for the third championship. Dean Shifts Lineup. Coach Dean has indicated in the workouts the last week that he would start a rejuvenated lineup against Carleton. Ralph Johnson, veteran guard, has not shown his former skill on the court this year and was sent to the college hospital with a bad infection. His services may be lacking when Cornell opposes the Norsemen.

Capt. Connie Muilenberg. high scoring Cornell center, will lead the Purple offense with Dell Raymond and Orville Welzel assisting from the forwards. Little Lew Hord will function at one of the guards, and John Bloom, sophomore guard, is favored over the other vetes to team with Hord. Coe 27.

Carleton 25. Cedar Rapids, Jan. 30.
