Many ball clubs do not allow the players "better halves" to accompany them on spring training trips and hence the big domestic rows. George Stallings, former manager of the Boston Braves, started the custom of leavine the wives behtnii? believe, and other clubs foHowed suit, And the managers have some good solid reasons for the custom, too. Many a good ball club, they say, has been broken up, players made enemies, cliques formed and morale shattered, which had its origin in quarrels and bickerings between the wives of the players during spring training.

The women carried tales and gossiped about other players who had left their wives behind that often seriously crippled the morale of the club months afterward and caused so much friction that clubs which were pennant contenders, finished down In the second division.

Tidey dropped in a free throw when he was fouled by Lounsberry. He followed it up with a basket which he made from the extreme corner of the court and the first period ended 5 to 0 In favor of Linden's lads.

Umpire, Spurgeon, Valpo. Forced to extend themselves to the limit to maintain a lead established In the opening quarter, St. Joseph high school's basketball team nosed out a four-point victory over Grand Haven high here last night and avenged the 16 to 10 defeat Coach Gus Cohr's cagers handed Coach Hank Howe's tossers earlier In the season. The final score of last nlgkt's encounter was 28 to 24 In favor of the Ilalze and Blue. The six point lead the Howemen run up in the opening canto was the factor chiefly Instrumental in St.

Joseph's victory, for Grand Haven rallied to out-point the Maize and Blue in the three other quarters. St. Joseph Grabs Lead Haddock drew first blood for St. Joseph when, he caged a field goal from the sidelines a few moments after play had started. He followed with a free throw and before the Invaders could get started the Maiie and Blue iwas out in front on the long end of a 10 to 4 count at the end of the first period.

Coach Cohr's cagers stiffened their defense In the second canto and played St. Joseph on even terms, the score at the half standing 16 to 10 In favor of the Howemen. Grand Haven opened the third period with a rush and out-pointed St. Joseph, 6 to 4, In this stanza. Th count at the end of the third quarter stood 20 to 16 In favor of St.

Joseph. Habel Goes In With Grand Haven threatening to grab the lead at any minute, and the St. Joseph team failing to exhibit the dashing brand of play they showed In defeating Benton Harbor a week ago, Coach Howe sought to inject new life into the Maize and Blue lineup in the third quarter, substituting Habel for Haddock at right guard. It was the first time Habel had broken into the lineup since becoming eligible for play at the start of the second semester. Both teams set a dizzy pace In the fourth quarter and played on about even terms, each quintet adding eight points to their total.

West and Zltta Star West carried away the scoring honors for St. Joseph, with, seven field goals and a free throw. Zltta, who played a mighty fine floor game last evening, was next In line with three field goals. Sluka, letjt forward, was about the nhnln nnlnn In Grand Haven's at tack. He counted seven goals from the field and two from the foul line, and proved a continuous source of worry to the Maize and Blue -guards.

When he couldn't break through the St. Joseph defense for a short shot at the hoop, he was firing them from a distance. In the matter of field goals, St. Jo-, seph had the better of the argument, counting 13 to the losers' 9. Grand Haven, however, had a slight advantage from foul line, counting six times as compared to St.

Joseph's two. Stevenavllle Wins The St. Joseph reserves dropped their preliminary game to Stevenavllle high school's second team, re-enforced by one or two subs from the first team. The final score was 18 to '12 In favor of Coach Eggert's toss-erg. Joseph held a narrow lead at the end of the halt, but Stevenavllle rallied at the opening of the second halt and soon stepped out Into the lead, mainly through the work of Smith, right forward for the winners.

By FOSTER EATON (SJnlted Press Staff Correspondent) DETROIT, Feb. 6. A "vacationing" Red Grange, here to apply for a team franchise at the National Professional Football league convention, today "told the world" he had no regrets over leaving the University of Illinois to play professional football. But In the next breath Grange admitted "I am going back to Illinois next year, in February, to complete my course. I have two semesters between me and my diploma." Grange announced he and his manager, C.

C. Pyle, had obtained a five year leaBe on the Yankee stadium, New York, and said he was here to obtain a franchise for a team he expects to form. Meanwhile, other prospective franchise seekers arrived to present applications. It was reported Rogers Hornsby, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, would apply.

A delegation also arrived from Boston, presumably in connection with efforts of the Boston Braves to obtain a place in the league. "Certainly, I am sold on the future of professional football," he said In an exclusive interview with the United Press. "I believe it is ed for much the same position now held by professional baseball." Say Pro Game Best Referring to professional football and its effect on the college game, Grange said "it is a much better brand of football, but lacks the intense rivalry of a school nature. I cannot see where it will detract from college football." From a commercial point of view, the start believes professional football is about on equal terms with the university game. "About the best statement I have read Is one written by Bill Tilden recently, in which he said the colleges have now commercialized the game, and the only difference between the two In the fact that college players get nothing for their labor." Grange said he felt "probably a JUNIORS AN The Faculty basketball team continued to hold their lead at the conclusion ot this week's games in the St.
