The Omaha Sunday Bee PART THIIKK OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 19, 1922. 1-0 HVK CKNTS Major Baseball Magnates Paying for Press-Agenting of Players' Salaries Reports of Huge Sums Paid Stars Costly to O.B.! is m t Agreement and Crook ed U'ork it Hawaii to He Slotiprd ly Latulis I'uiiMiiii;; Violators. not; Kits iiciismiT. I'iUlUU.NK 1'bulo.l By I. K. SANBORN. Magnates of tli gueii diamond fu-t a lot about, the IiIk'i salaries demanded I'y tuTr Mir l.iyrti but tliry have only themselves io blame, in a way. I lie "unci s ate circle- about the ue of lite dol lar hi'kii in itics- .rjrnting their own business. Wlirn Roger Ilnrnsby, back bone of the Car dinals, rrail that John McGraw, maun Rcr of tbe Giants, had signed a long term con tract for a salary which the Gotham press audits allowed was "in excess of the $50,000 a year he had been re reiving," Uornsby probably reasoned that he wai worth at least half as much as that to St. Louis, so dc ntattded a three-year contract at $25, 000 per anniint. Swallows Big; Figures. Ball players are more prone than the average reader to believe all they see in the newspapers, because most of the players cotiectrate on the box scores, which they know are accurate, and the batting aver ages, which they know arc com piled by careful statisticians. So when a star reads aboub Mc Graw's alleged salary, or the small fortunes that are supposed to change hands when a player deal is pulled off, he forgets to apply the alum bath to the figures behind the dollar sign. These swelled figures are in tended to impress the baseball public, but the players oftentimes swallow them, too. It seems to be the idea of tbe club owners that if ihey can plaster a player's uniform with dollar signs the fans will believe he is a great athlete, no matter what he docs not do on the field. Yarns Prove a Boomerang. If a young player is purchased for $7,500, for instance, the magnates believe he .will be 10 times as good a drawing card if they slip a re porter "in strictest confidence" the information that the said player cost them $75,000. This often is a boomerang. When a player demands half the price paid for his release, as frequently happens, the magnates are up against it. If they are will ing to pay the athlete half the ac tual purchase price they have to give away the fact that they swelled the figures for publication. Commissioner Landis is going to stop a lot of the crooked work that has been going on among club owners for years, judging by some of bis recent decisions. The majority of them have been fines imposed on clubs for. trying to beat the rules of organized baseball relative , to the transfer of players. One of Worst Abuses. This is an abuse that has been one of the worst evils in baseball for years, and has worked great injustice on young players at times. By connivance with each other, by secret agreements, and "covering up" deals, the magnates of big and little leagues have been allowed to beat the rules' outrageously at times. It came to be considered a smart part of the game, just as the player thinks he is smart if he can cut a base 10 feet when the umpires are not watching him. After a club owner has been fined a few times for these tricks of the trade he will quit and "run true," because the only way to convince the average club owner he is wrong is (to hit his bank roll, r Increase Limit on "Farming." The major leagues seemed to have a hunch on Commissioner I.andis' plans to punish violations of the rules in covering up players, be cause they increased the number of players who can be farmed out to minor league teams under option contracts. As all such contracts must be filed with the commissioner, to be valid, there is no chance of de ception in most cases, and the limit is so high now that there will be little excuse for cheating. But the abuse of the option con tract is one of the chief bones of contention between- majors and minors, and probably always will be.

TO consider baseball's iron men of the mound is to have the name of Toe McGinnitv flash to the front, but this New York giant of nearly 20 years ago never saw a sea son in which lie took the mound as many times as did J. B. .Glaiser of Omaha during the Western league race of 1921.. M c G in n i t y 's heaviest year was 1903 when pitched in 55 games. He worked in 51 the f o 1 1 o w i ng year when he topped all National league flingcrs. Last year Glaiser was called to the mound 62 times by his chief and he toiled for 331 innings, winning 22 games and losing 17. In the others he cither went in as a relief pitcher after the fate of the game had been settled or was relieved himself in time to have the defeat or victory Giaiszv charged or credited to his successor. More often than otherwise, the Western's iron man lias had to ap pear, half a hundred times to lead the league, as the following table will show: Year. Name, club Gsmes. 1900 Maupin, St. Joseph... II 1901- 1902 No record. 1903 McNeeley, Colorado Springs.... 43 1604 Delhi, St. Joseph Kl 1905 No record. 1906 Miller.

Miller did it in 1906, Sterzer did in 1914, and that is as far as they produced. Track and Field By Frank Loomis, Jr. World's Champion Hurdler Britton Retains Welter Title 1, Looms, JrJ Build Your Body for Track Sports Many school boys who go out for track athletics depend too much on their legs to make them successful. Good legs are a big help in athle tics, but without a good body above them they are useless, You don't have to have the chest of a wrestler or muscles like Jack Dempsey, but you must have a good strong body, good stomach muscles, and a good back to car ry you through the last efforts of a race when your legs are fast tiring. Develop your lungs and strengthen your heart. Tossing the medicine ball, dumb bells and club swinging play an important part in training. Work a lot on the body movement, such as touching the floor from an erect position without bending the knees, moving, from side to side. This exercise and similar ones are carried out by men who intend run ning the hurdle events, as it will strengthen the abdominal and back muscles. These exercises will lielp in training for any event. When an alheletc has achieved fame in one event, we all take it for granted that he has trained for years for this particular thing. You will find on looking back in his athletic history that the running and train ing of year before helped to build his body up, together with his de termined mind to win, for just the one event that he gains his fame. Hard to Select Event. For an athlete to select his events is a hard question, and my experience in track work has led me to take part in various events before I specialized on the hurdles. Many times boys have chosen wrong by trying to specialize too early. I know of several who have devoted their entire time to sprint ing and at the same time were -capable of running a better quarter mile. They didn't know it and never found out until most of their track career was over. ' Speed is the big factor of success in track athletics, but at the same time very few athletes realize it, How many quarter-milers try to run their quarters fast without having practice springing? There really is a large percentage of quarter-milers who continue to train for their events with no idea of the importance of speed. Sprinters develop into good quarter-milers. Speed at the start of any race gives a man his chance for a good position on the track, which is very essential in big races. The start of a quarter mile is al most a sprint for the first 75 yards. Speed in any track'event is' absolute ly necessary. Creighton High Beats Geneva The Creighton High "pep" athletes walloped the Geneva squad on the Creighton floor Friday night by the top score of 30 to 15. : The locals outclassed the visitors in the second period.

The Central City eighth grade basket ball team has a championship aggregation and challenges any eighth grade team in the state. Games may be ar ranged by communicatinz with Ted Skiff, manaeer. - . - New York, Feb. 18. Jack Britton, at 36, still is the master boxer and by virtue of that fact today remains the world's welterweight boxing champion. Last night in Madison Square garden, Britton met Young David Shade of San Francisco, a courageous able lad, in a 15-round match. The judges decided the con test was a draw, and that enabled Britton to retain his title. In the opinion of the majority of fistic writers at the ringside, however, the judges erred, for liritton appeared to have had the advantage on points over his young rival. It is true that the Californian al ways on the aggressive, that he made the champion miss occasional ly, or rather frequently, but never theless Britton, whether retreating or standing his ground, was sending gloved fists against his opponent's head and body. Shade was missing too, and many of his terrific assaults were cleverly smothered in the Brit ton defense. Shade shook the title holder several times with rights to the jaw, but was himself shaken oftener by both rights and lefts to the head. Wahoo High Beats Benson, 34 to 8 Wahoo. Nek, Feb. 18. (Special Telegram.) The Wahoo High school basket ball team won its 11th con secutive game last night by defeating the Omaha Benson high, 34 to 8.

Second to the little Jayhawk. flash fomcs Bond, Missouri university forward with 158. Waite, elongated Oklahoma university center, who bv the way is gaining much fame this season and looks like a good choice as a Missouri valley all star center, is third with a total of l-'5 point1!. Ted Payscur of Drake university is in a tic "with Waite, having a total of 125 points also. Browning of Missouri, Tiger forward, is one point behind the Bulldog and Cow bov stars. Followers of basket ball have raised the question of ranking play, ers as to their ability of shooting field goals alone. On this basis Browning of Missouri occupies first rank with 62 field goals made in 12 games. His team mate, Knight, is second with 51. Kody of Kansas comes third with 43. rayseur of Drake fourth with 36 and Waite of Oklahoma fifth with 34. An interesting comparison of the strength of Missouri's "Big Three" is gained by adding tip the total points scored by Browning. Knight and Bond which equals 414 points. This total is in excess of the team score of any other Missouri valley team. The Kansas university squad demonstrated a fact this week that proves its worth when it defeated Ames, Grinncll and Drake by de cisive scores in consecutiive days. The Jayhawkcrs also showed a classy outfit while in Des Moines and Bulldog fans are still trying hard to get over their dizzy spell. They can hardly understand how Missouri defeated the Kansans and are sure that the Missouri-Kansas game next Tuesday, February 21, at Columbia, Mo., will be a wonderful battle to watch. The game ' will clinch the title for Missouri if the Tigers win and if the Jayhawks triumph it will probably mean a tie in the race, TEAM STANDINGS. (Includes itnmes ot February 16.) W.

'J Ins yet of came Ii a t i grown into one 1 of the l;nKtt in . the count!)'. In fact the event has attracted so in ii c h inlervst this year that it will be necessary to t hold trials in a number of event on J March 3, with the following night set aside for all finals. ! Harry Gill, veteran and capable j mentor at the Orange and Blue in stitution, is dcstrvtiig ot much cred it for building up this -cf of games. Events for High Schools. In addition to the events for ma jor and minor institutions, Coach Gill will have events for high schools. The one mile relay will be one of the features for the inter-scholastic ath letes, and it should draw a classy field. I.eo Novak, roach of the Ce dar Rapids high school team, which won, two races at the l'cnn outdoor relays lat spring, has entered his team, while Oak I'ark and University High will be among the Chicago en trants. Coach Smith of Ames will send his sterling two-mile team to the event. At this writing it is hard to figure a quartet in this part of the country which will have a chance with the Hawkcyes, unless "Silent Harry" Gill is secretly developing Illinois stars who will give the Ames team a battle. There will be several starters in the one mile relay for universities and a good entry in the four mile. Wisconsin anil Minnesota should have strong teams for the latter event, while Notre Dame will send a con tender to the mark in pne of the ma jor relays over the one, two or four mile distances. Nebraska May Have Entries. Henry Srhultc of Nebraska will send men for the individual events. Wright of the Cornhuskers is a ster ling high hurdler who was a factor in all events of note held last year. Minnesota has a great pole vaultcr in Hawker, and good hurdlers in An derson and Martincau. In fact Coach Frank may send a two-mile team into the relay because he has a great half milcr in 'intcr, who beat Webb of Ames last year. Iowa, which made a great showing on the track and field last year, will be represented by good men. Coaches of institutions in the Missouri Valley conference have been preparing for the games ever since the indoor sea son opened, and new stars are cer tain to break into the limelight. Charley Bachman of Kansas Aggies has usually been successful in bring ing point winners to the games, and this year may be no exception. Merriam Developing De Pauw. New Merriam, who coached at Ames last year, is now developing a track team at De Tauw. The former Chicago quarter miler is sure to have teams in the relays for minor col leges. Pat Page, athletic director at Butler, will also have teams and in dividuals in events for schools of his class, while Wabash, Earlham and other minor institutions of the sec tion will be represented. As only a few dual meets have been held so far this season, it is diffi cult to get a line on prospective win ners of various events. After the Illinois relays and the indoor meet of the western conference at Patten gymnasium on March 17 and 18, stars who will fight it out for places in the outdoor meets will be deter mined. Surprises May Happen. A number of Big Ten coaches re ported last year they had good pros pects on their freshmen teams. If these performers develop as expected, some unlooked for surprises may hap pen on March 3 and 4. The same is true of nonconference institutions. Indications are this year's set of games will be the most successful, in the history of the event. Iowa State Defeats ; Nebraska Tracksters Ames. Ia Peb. 18.
