WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 16. 1938 Ousted P. G. Tournament Manager Threatens to Start a Rival Organization THE DETROIT FREE PRESS- Ward to the Wise Wing Stars Emerging as Club Loses Balance More-wide By Charles P.

Harlow Defies Golf Dismissal His Reinstatement Is Unlikely, Head Says MIAMI, Fla Dec. 15 A. Robert E.

"Those guys," these mfteiders invariably commented, "will keep that old kar.gaioo apple in theie.

until somebody gets his brains knocked out. Then they II slow- it down." Bat the American League never admitted that the ball in use was any liveliei than the one in use in other years. Every once in a while a league official would announce that the manufacturers had informed him there had been no change in the make-up of the ball. The players always had a muttered answer to these statements. It was.

"The manufacturers ought to try playing first base when Goslin is hittin' good." Despite their previous announcements on the subject, the major league magnates admitted at their recent joint meeting in New York that perhaps the ball was a little too lively. At any rate, they decided to deaden it in some fashion. But because the supply of baseballs for 1937 already has been manufactured, they decided the next day not to do anything to the insides of the sphere after all. So next season the first basemen and third basemen will be ducking and praying again. And muttering curses at the league bosses as they trudge to the dugouts.

That is, of course, the ones who duck in time. The baseball men ought to make up their minds about the baseball and keep them made up. If they want to keep baseball a scientific, well-balanced game of skill and power, they ought to deaden the ball a bit. If they want to restore base running, fielding and Inside baseball to their former importance, that is the only way to do it. And if they want to turn the game into a glorified batting practice, they should give the ball another shot of kangaroo juice, eliminate League.

He knows their ages, their hockey ages at least; he knows what positions they play, that's something that even the players can't remember about their rivals. When a player wants to know who did something back In 1931, he rings for Billy. He always knows. Scotty Bowman says he came to Montreal during the terrible hot spell last July and the first person he met waa O'Neill. "With persons falling over in the street from the heat, O'Neill talked hockey," Bowman said.

This season unprecedented Injuries ruined King John's balancing act to such an extent that his Individual stars really are not only shining but sending out blinding rays. Already there Is talk of ranking Ebbie Goodfellow as the outstanding defense star of the year and, hard as it is to believe, Herbie Lewis and Larry Aurie, outstanding offensive stars for the Wings over a half dozen years, are beginning to attract the attention of the experts. In fact they are forcing the experts to put on sun glasses to watch them.

Aurie and Lewis are the Gehringers of hockey. Everybody pays glowing tribute to them over the season, but when it comes to picking all-star teams at the end of the year, the same experts quite mysteriously give them nice hard seats on the fourth team or some other ridiculous team. Aurie, Lewis and Goodfellow, with the club's balance gone during the last three weeks because of injuries, have risen to new heights. of his "outside interests, including a weekly newspaper column Harlow replied with a statement that "the president had been in Formerly to $36.50 'And Worth $10 or $15 More Than That!

He declined to say whether he has any particular institution in mind.

Clark indicated if no coaching position opens up, he will return to Detroit for his sixth year in professional football. The former All American star from Colorado College said he believed he had his best season this year since he transferred from Portsmouth to Detroit. "Dutch" said he has been "taking a lot of punishment playing the tailback position for five years."
