TWELVE EVENING INDEPENDENT. MASSILtON. OHICT FRIDAY. JANUARY 27, 1933 HOYT, NOW A PIRATE, TO PITCH FOR SEVENTH MAJOR LEAGUE OUTFIT THIS YEA By RITT their yen lor shore grog, had nothing seventh. The former Oianh-Rprt Rnv.

ifi mn By (Central Press Sports Editor) The flying dutchman, who, according to legend, haunted all seven of the seas, popping up at inopportune times with a spectre ship and a ghostly crew and generally scaring salty old sea-dogs out of their wits and their yen lor shore grog, had nothing on the Blond Goblin of the Ball Parks when it comes to travel. The Blond Goblin, better known as Waite Hoyt, the aging boy wonder, has worn the uniform of 14 ball clubs, including six major league outfits and is cine this next summer to wear a seventh. The former Giant-Red Sox- Yankee Tiger Athletic Dodger has now turned Pirate, Hoyt has pitched in more than 50 cities and traveled the circuits of the American. National, "Jntev-national, Eastern, Southern and Pennsylvania State leagues, not to mention his sea- son with the Baltimore Dry Docks, an independent outfit for whom he played ii. 1919.

Most remarkable feature of Hoyt's long 1 career- is trie, manner in which he has managed to bob-up with clubs about to win pennan's. This faculty has netted the blond Brooklynite a player's share in seven world series! He was traded to New Y9rk by Boston at the conclusion of the 1920 season. The very next season the Yankees won the first of six pennants, Hoyt-being with the club throughout that golden era. If memory, serves, only one other Yankee enjoyed a similar uninterrupted period of prosperity with the Yanks during that time. His name is Babe Ruth.

In 1930 the Yanks traded Hoyt to Detroit. But what'happens in 1931? The Tigers waive Hoyt to Philadelphia in mid-season and Waits gets in on the lest of the three pennants won by the Maekmen! A major league clubs gets hot and heads for the pennant. Presto! On FOTHERGILL SETS MARK 728 Goes on Pin Gathering- Spree in Industrial A Battle SCORES ARE HIGH STANDINGS P.

BECKER Independent Sports Editor If Bobby Fothergill's big bat scatters baseballs next summer as effectively as his bowling ball has been knocking over the maples this winter, owners of the Boston Red Sox of the American league will never be sorry about the player swap they staged recently with the Chicago White Sox, the deal bringing Fothergill and three other Sox to the Boston club. The Massillon big boy went on another pin gathering rampage Thursday evening on the Meinhart Recreation alleys while bowling with the Canton Provision teams of the Industrial A league and when Fothergill had ceased his murderous fire at the pins and. scores were tabulated it found that he was the possessor of a new high three-game total for the circuit. Passes Jones' Mark Bobby cut down the wood for a three-game count of 728, six pins more than the 722 total chalked up a lew ago by Drevel "Red" Jones of the Dine Dewees squad. Fothergill's, scores were.222, 248 and 258.

12 Members Of Giants Signed Catcher Still Needed to Round Out Com-; plete Team NEW YORK, Jan. 27. (jp) The New York Giants already have 12 players signed for the 1933 season but they lack a catcher: to round' out a complete' nine. Signed contracts, so far have been returned by outfielders Ott, George Davis and Joe Moore; pitchers Luque, Glenn Spencer and Reggie Map; 'first' baseman "Terry land Joe Malay; second baseman Critz; third baseman Vergez; and shortstop. John Ryan.

The veteran Luque and the rookies Mapp and Malay came to terms yesterday. Del Bissonette, one of the unluckiest men in major league baseball, will have to demonstrate in training camp that he is recovered from his various ailments before the Brooklyn Dodgers offer him a'' contract. Bissonette was on the shelf because of i illness all through last season and now is on-the voluntary retired list.

Xavier university expects keep right on "taking a chance 11 in intercollegiate sports this year. They took last year. Xavier! booked football opponents nominally' far out of its class, trimmed prices for seats to bedrock and took some healthy cracks on the chin from su-', perior foes but it worked well enough and so they'll keep it up, for a time, at least. Good Schedule "Our 1933 football said Joseph A. Meyer, director of "is the best in Xavier's history, and guarantees contracted with opponents are about as high as ever.

The gamble, is on whether big football names and cut-rate prices will draw crowds large enough to keep Xavier athletics going. Meyer be-' lieves they will. SD Xavier will take a chance next football season, financially and on the field, with such opponents as Transylvania, Kenyon, Carnegie Tech, Washington and Jefferson, Centre, and Haskcll at Home, and Loyola at New Orleans. It already has tried it in basketball, booking Ohio State, trimming prices sharply, and drawing 5,000 paid admissions where basketball has drawn only handfuls before. In intercollegiate sports, Xavier has concentrated on football and basketball.

Just whether anything will be done this year about baseball, golf, tennis, and track, has not been decided. In the past, it has been more or less customary to foster intramural sports, and then branch into-intercollegiate contests on short notice whenever a suitable opportunity or opponent appeared. Indications are that policy will continued. Intramural sports will go ahead as strongly as ever, though, league competition has been developed in all popular games, and Meyer said more students are in intramural sports than ever before.

CAGE GAME PLAYED BY 20 MUJLION Basketball Is Popular Sport Throughout World, Survey Shows RAPID GROWTH By FOHREST C. (PHOG) ALLEN (Written For The Associated Press) LAWRENCE, Kas.

Jan. 27. show there are 20 million boys and girls in the world playing basketball today. There's hardly a country in the world that doesn't go in for the game in a big way. Prance, Italy, Japan, China, Persia, India, Sweden, the Philippine Island, Portugal, Czecho Slovaks, Turkey, Greece, Mexico, Canada, Poland, Russia, Germany, England, and practically all of the South countries encourage national championship play.

The international Y. M. C. A. secretaries planted the game early in many of the foreign countries, while our U.

S. Soldiers gave the game to the Philippine Islands in 1900. The American Avmy of Occupation taught the German populace baskeball in 1918, During the Inter-Allied games Paris in 1919, the United States, France and Italy played for the championship, the United States-winning rather' handily. After the armistice was signed, two American teams, by invitation from the British government, demonstrated basketball in the British area of the war zone. The British took to it readily.

Rejected for Olympics Practically every foreign country has fashioned its- basketball rules after bur American game. The reason for this is evident. They look to'us as the mother country in this sport and have a right to expect guidance in formulating rules and in shaping their ideals of sportsmanship. The writer, as chairman of the Olympic committee of" the National Basketball Coaches' association, negotiated with international athletic leaders toward, the 'project of including basketball as a demonstration game in the Olympics at Los Angeles last "August, Much'enthusiasm and encouragement was received from foreign and international figures, but we failed through lack of support our own people. Instead, the committee selected' football as a demonstration for its financial lure, ra-' ther-than a game that was understood by our visiting guests.

The football game turned out to be a private financial venture, yet had the stamp of approval of the Olympic committee. Our foreign guests neither understood nor cared for the American extraction of football. With its increasing popularity, no doubt basketball will be included in the next Olympic games at Berlin in 1936. A touch of international' flavor is added at the present time by the touring of western, mid-western and southern states by the "FAL" team from Mexico City, and the Meiji university team from Tokyo, Japan. Both teams are meeting with much popularity and some degree of success.
