Inc New Hope, Gurley Eye Irritations Cured, Split Twin Card Chapman In Fine Shape Detroit Star's Salary Exceeds $30,000 Mark Despite Hike In Pay, Tigers Won't Retain Flag, Experts Say By FELIX B. WOLD DETROIT. Jan 22 (A) Youij voluble old pal. Louie (Buck) Newsom, who pitches baseball for the Detroit Tigers, now seems tn have the authority for his biggest boast of all.

and Buck has to keep silent. Reliable sources disclosed todayj that Newsom not Bob Feller of the Cleveland Indians has become the highest paid twirler in the game's history at a salary in excess of $30,000. Buck will draw pay checks for that tidy sum for the 1941 season. In keeping with an unwritten law of the Tigers that salaries are never mentioned publicly, the doughty Newsom wont say a word. It was established, however.

that Buck will draw a fan-- cier salary than that to be paiiD Feller, whom the Indians signed i yesterday for a reported $30,000. Winner of 13 straight games and ja world series star. Newsom in 1940 enjoyed his finest season in a long career in tile big leagues. He won 21 and lost five during the regular season and. in pitching 264 innings, was surpassed only by Feller, John Rigney of the White Sox and Dutch Leonard of Washington.

Owner Walter O. Briggs of the'C Tigers, reputed to be baseball's highest paying club owner, has let it be known that he pays off "on performance. Some Irony therefore creeps into the Tiger situation. With Newsom given a boost. Hank Greenberg likely to retain his reported $36,000, and rewards to others due for the 1940 championship.

the Tiger salary index apparently is on the uptrend. (Greenberg, however, may he in the Army. Draft board officers said yesterday he would receive his questionnaire next week.) Pay goes up, but the Tigers, say the experts, are going down. Last year the team was known as an "old man's club, and the winterO season's forecasters don't give them much chance for repeating as titlists. For the Tigers are getting further along in years.

By TOM SILER CHICAGO. Jan. 22 (A) "Ill never sign the contract they offered me. That unequivocal statement didn't come from a pop-off or publicity-seeking ball player, but from quiet, genial Charles Henry Root, who has built up a tremendous following in his 15 years with the Chicago Cubs. Root and the Cubs, represented by James Timothy Gallagher, new general manager, are reportedly rather far apart on their respec five estimates of Roots worth to the club in 1941.

Winner of only two games last season when he was used mainly as a relief hurl-er. he was asked to take a heavy cut this year. "I've tried to be fair with the Cubs for 15 years, Root said while here to confer with Gallagher, "and I want them to be fair with me now. "I can still pitch every week, but I can't be in the bullpen every day warming up and expect to do any good. I dont want to be trad ed.

Ive spent my big league life here and I want to stay here. I expected a cut, perhaps, but not one like I got. I wont sign for what they offered. That's definite. Root, who will be 42 years old before another season gets underway, also has his heart set on reaching the 200-victory total.

Only four big leaguers now active are over that mark Red Ruffing, Lefty Grove, Ted Lyons and Fred Fitzsimmons. The Cub veteran has w'on 193 games since joining the Cubs in 1926, winning il3 or more games in 10 of his 15 seasons. Root thinks that on the once-a-week schedule under which Lyons operates for the White Sox he could easily reach the 200-mark this season and be a big help to the Cubs. The Cubs have paid Root about $228,000 in salaries so far. $22,500 being his top figure about 10 years ago.

He was paid in the neighborhood of $10,000 last season. Sign Long-Term Grid Contracts Degroot And Hubbard Will Remain At Rochester Indefinitely ROCHESTER, N. Jan. 22 (A) Richly endowed, scholastic-minded University of Rochester announced today football coaches Dudley S. Degroot and Wilbur V.

Hubbard had signed long-term contracts and pledged intercollegiate athletics its support as long as they do not become a "racket. The agreement is such that the question of a contract need not and will not come Up every year or every few years. To all intents and purposes, Degroot and Hubbard will be with us indefinitely, President Alan Valentine declared. The coaches came to Rochester last spring from San Jose, State college. In their first season here, the team, virtually the same that scored but 12 points in 1939, won four games and dropped three.

Selection of Head Coach Degroot and his assistant last year was considered a possible answer to President Robert M. Hutchins cf also-rich University of Chicago, who under similar circumstances decreed his school would drop intercollegiate football. Rochester's endowment of more than is exceeded only by the funds of Chicago, Columbia, Harvard and Yale.

But with the boys the count was reversed. The Gurley boys won 37 to 28. In the gills game, Moon was the outstanding player for the forces of Redus Ealy, New Hope coach. The game was marked by fouls, New Hope charged with 16 and Gurley with eight. Farris and Pritchett for the home team and Sublett for the visitors played good ball.

MAHAN, JR. MONTGOMERY, Jan. 22 (Ah Eye irritations cured. Ben Chapman is convinced he still is a 300-hitter and a cinch for a comeback in the Washington outfield this season under the best owner-manager combination in baseball. Whats more, hes happy and ready to go.

The erstwhile holdout and problem boy already has signed his 1941 contract, and he took a cut because I had a bad year and figure I was due it. His batting average slumped to .286 at Cleveland last season and the Indians traded him to Washington during the winter. Cleveland doctors told Chapman he needed glasses and he got them, but without results. A young Montgomery specialist found the trouble, an irritation of the lids. It responded quickly to treatment and vision returned to "normal.

"Yeh," Chapman agreed, "normal is what the doctor says. But my vision is 20-20 and that's perfect good as anybodys got. "Apparently picked up the infection from a towel or something last winter while I was driving 8,000 miles to referee basketball games all over the southeast, he continued, above the roar of falling ten pins in his newly acquired bowling alleys. "Im tickled, really, that Im going back to Washington. Bucky Harris is the best manager in the game.

He and Clark Griffith make the best owner-manager combination in baseball. Told a lot of the fellows last year, he continued, "I'd like to be back in Washington, I won the award as the most valuable player on the club there in 1936 and the fact Im going back under Harris ought to prove Im not hard to handle, like some folks claim. While he's 32 and has 11 years in the majors and two in the minors behind him, Chapman's certain he has "a minimum of five more years in the big time, that hes the second fastest man in the American league, and that he'll hit around .315 to .320 next season His life-time average is .309. Hank Greenberg and a few others may be worried about their draft numbers turning up soon, but not Chapman. His local order number is 1906, and besides he's got a wife and an 18-months-old son.

Young Baby's Father Says Son Will Do Better With Cleveland By ROMNEY WHEELER AP Feature Service ATLANTA, Ga. Twenty-one years ago Jim Bagby won 31 and lost 12 to help pitch Cleveland to an American League pennant and a World Series championship. Next season there'll be another Jim Bagby burning em across home plate and the old sergeant thinks Jim Jr. has what it takes to help the Indians turn the trick again. "Jim never vvould have, done Boston any good, says the elder Bagby, beaming at the trade which sends his son to Cleveland.

This'll be Jim's chance. Can he do as well as the old sergeant? His dad wont predict, and Jim Jr. is doubtful. It's bad luck to try to call your shots. says Bagby senior, now midde-aged and sparse-haired and recently retired from his dry-cleaning business.

"I'll say though, I ought to win at east ten, is the younger Bag-by's guess. Easier in Dads Day? Young Jim thinks it was a lot easier to run up an imposing victory string in his Dad's day than now. "Shucks." he says, "when dad was pitching they didn't have but maybe five home-run hitters in the league. Today nearly every team has a half-dozen. Every man in the Red Sox infield hit 20 homers or better last season.

In my day, explains the elder Bagby, we used the dead ball, and most players choked up on their bats instead of swinging for long hits. They were trying for base hits, though, every time." "Thats just it, interjects young Jim. When you had three men on base a hit might mean one, maybe two runs. Now if a batter connects its probably the ball game. Give young Jim pointers His dad shakes his head.

He doesn't pitch anything like me. he says. He's more like his uncle. Clarence (Pop Boy) Smith, who played in thp Southern league and I think a little while for Cleveland. He's a fastball pitcher with some curve.

Mine was mosty curve-ball pitching. The elder Bagby thinks young Jim needs more control and a better curve adds that "hed better start now, cause he'll never learn any younger. Elbow In jury A Handicap An elbow injury, suffered when he was about 14 years old, may have some effect on the hoys pitching, his dad says. Young Jim. himself, says the injury caused by an immature effort to pitch a sharp-breaking curve probably affects his fast ball more than anything.

"If I could straighten my arm completely, he explains. "I guess I could get more speed, but otherwise it doesn bother me." Both think the trend in baseball is toward taking the pitcher out of the game. "Why. complains young Jim, they're even talking about letting another player bat for the pitcher. "Yeah, adds his dad, "they started taking away from the pitcher when they stopped the spit ball.

And another thing. back in my day a batter had to watch closer to see the ball. They weren't forever tossing out a new one every time the cover got scuffed a little. That dark pellet was hard to see. Young Jim, who won 10 and lost 16 with Boston last year, looks for the Indians to win the pennant next season.

Rison's senior girl basketball team played two games yesterday afternoon and last night, with different opponents, and won both of them. Showing superior play from the start, the Rison sextet had little trouble in turning back the senior girls from Decatur High. 41 to 10, yesterday afternoon Last night, playing at Riverton, the Rison team handed Riverton's girls a 23 to 16 defeat.

In the game with Decatur, the sharpshooting eye of Forward Trapp meant much to the home team. She zipped the basket for 13 points. Close behind her were Payne with 10 markers and Short with 9. The guards were outstanding on defense, holding Decaturs forwards to only three field goals. The count at the half was 15 to 7, in Rison's favor.

Decatur's Caudill, at guard, displayed fine defensive form. Coach Cecil Fain used two complete teams, substituting at the end of each quarter. At Riverton, the same Rison girls sextet had a harder struggle before finally winning 23 to 16. The contest was close from beginning to end. with the guarding on both side's outstanding.

Rison held a slight advantage at the end of each quarter, the period scores being 2 to 1. 6 to 3, 10 to 8 and finally. 23 to 16., Rivertons Ray was the sparkplug on offense for her team. She sacked 10 points. Rison's Hunt, however, matched her in points scored.

ORLANDO. Jan. 22 (AM Clowning Frank Kovacs, of Oakland, turned serious here yesterday to pound National Champion Don McNeill, of Oklahoma City, into submission, 6-2, 6-4, 6-0, in the finals of the annual. Florida state tennis tournament. The lanky California youngster required only an hour and five minutes to run out the match.

McNeill was helpless before Kovacs relentless and powerful attack. The victory was the second for Kovacs on the Florida winder tennis circuit. He defeated Eddie Alloo. of Rollins college, in the finals of the Dixie tournament at Tampa early this month. after eliminating McNeill in the semifinals.

Kovacs is ranked No. 3 on the national tennis ladder, behind McNeill and Bobby Riggs, of Chicago, hut he was unbeatable today. He lost only nine points in the final set, several of them due to his own carelessness. McNeill, still exhibiting signs of staleness from hie recent South American tour, was unable to cope with Kovacs except for a brief period tn the second set. when he held service to pull up to 4-3, but it was all over quickly as Kovacs held his own service to love, and ran it out from there.

Kovacs scored repeated placements in the third set, alternately sending over drop shots and scorchers. McNeill teamed with Frank Guernsey, of Orlando, former national intercollegiate champion, to capture the doubles title, edging out Hal Surface, of Kansas City, and Jack Kramer, of Rollins college, 7-5, 7-4, 7-0, 3-6, 6-3.
