Winner of 13 straight games and a world series star, Newsom in 1940 enjoyed finest season in a long career in the big leagues.

He won 21 and lost five during th 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 Tigers, reputed to be highest paying club owner, has let it be known that he pays off Some irony therefore creeps into the Tiger situation. Draft Claims Greenberg. 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 up-trcnd.

Greenberg, however, may be 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 and the winter forecasters give them much chance for repeating as tltleists. For the Tigers are getting further along in years.

It could be that ere next season is many weeks old, the Giants will be looking arcund hurriedly for an Arnovich, or just anybody who can get out there on the picket line and keep moving for nine innings. Ott On Way Bark. Mel Ott and Joe Moore have been going back for a couple years, and probably hit their peaks again. In saying we merely wish to make sure we are not being too flat-footed about the thing. The point is, the Giants have been skidding farther and farther toward the bottom ever since the passing oi Carl greatness, and the situation is getting worse all the time.

If Jurges come back, the Giants Even if Jurges is all right, you can name the champion Cincinnati Reds, the Brooklyn Dodgers, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Pittsburgh Pirates, maybe, and the Chicago Cubs, perhaps. all as better bets than the Giants as they stand now.

And if you think masterminding, toss off this secret: The Giants finished behind all those clubs last season and 21 games out of the lead. What makes you think they will be better this time? And like to mention that there is no law giving the Giants the right to win pennants or even finish in the first division by some automatic process.

SELLECK (genial to those who really know him, but rated as a first cousin to jUncle Anathema by some disappointed ones who failed to get in on the distribution of Rose Bowl pasteboards) assures this column that he is completely in the dark concerning share of the New bowl take at Pasadena.

Genial John (still genial to this column) is the guy who rakes in the cash accruing to the exhibitions in competitive sports. In ordinary circumstances, one could expect him to be pretty well in the know on the subject of this Rose Bowl income, but in this particular instance he stoutly avers he has no dependable information and still is awaiting official word from the management at Stanford confident, of course, that a fat check will be coming way by the end of the present month. Inasmuch as John Is holding fast io the assertion that he has no definite information ronceming the bowl business, it is the pleasure of this column to sound the warning that his eyes may bulge and his breath eome short when the bowl check ultimately arrives via the mails. Editor Leiser Spills the Facts rom a source that is fully as reliable as if graduate manager, Al Masters himself, were speaking, this column learns that when the precious bit of paper, made payable to K. Selleck, shows up at the Cornhusker coliseum, the sum of money thereon specified lack little, if anything at all, of topping the hundred thousand mark in currency of the national realm.

My authority for the above estimate of slice of the bowl receipts is none other than reliable Bill Leiser, sports tycoon of the San Francisco Chronicle staff. From one of Editor Leiser's recent columns, I glean the that John Public and his tribe deposited some $340,000 in crisp currency at the Rose Bowl box greatest receipts in bowl his- tcry by reason of the fact that every ticket, regardless of the location, was marketed to buyers at $4.40 per; that the $3.30 end seat price of former an- nums was ruled by the management as null and void. NCOLN QUINT FRIDAY FRAY Red and Black Cagesters To Battle Central On Omaha Moples. By ALEX STODDARD. This is "Opporlunlty Week" for Lincoln high's athletic teams as the first semester ends, what with the basketballers ling to Omaha for a Friday night return clash with Central's unbeaten quintet and the swimmers, under direction of Coacn Harry Kuklin, going to Des Moines for dual meets with Roosevelt and North teams.

Campbell Still In Doubt. Whether Bobby Campbell, crack L. H. S. basketball forw'ard and leading scorer on the team, will be in shape to play against Central is problematical.

Campbell injured his right knee tw'O weeks ago in the Ha.stings game and suit up for either game last week. If Campbell is in shape, Lincoln will be given an even chance of handing Central its first defeat. The earlier found Central winning, 20-19, on a free throw with 20 seconds to play, after a desperate Lincoln rally in the last two periods had overcome early lead.
