(Associated Press Sports Editor) NE WYORK, Jan; 7 W) Babe Ruth r.oC only thinks ho still is worth $80,000 a year to tho Yankees, do- .pression or no depression, but he 'i-.-hus no idea whatever of quitting the - game so long as he can hold his own with "these young fellas." '"''"'I might like to be a manager," 1:'raid Ruth. "I want to round out at ":11icnst 20 years playing as a regular r' and 04 many moro as I can go. ine only thing I don't want to do is hang around so long they have to show mo tho bench or the gate and tell mo I'm Just an old man. But the way I feci now I'm good for at least . i.j'Xive mere years." In Good Condition In better condition today than ho has ever been and with the figures .of , his trainer, Artie McGovern, to prove It, Ruth In roady to show his . employer a number -of good reasons why ho ahould bo kept on the pay roll without a cut. "I haven't talked it over yet with o- Colonel Ruppert," Ruth told news papermen after a brisk workout be , fore the cameras, "and I don't ex pect any troublo when I do but I still think I'm worth thnt $80,000. I'd , llko to sign for that on a one or two year basis. "Last year was one of the best I have ever had. despite the Injury that laid me up for a few days In Boston. But for that I think I wculd've had a good chance to break '' tho home run record. I still think '' I can do it. Tho ball doeBn't seem any deader to me. When I sock It right, it still goes plenty." Scored 73 nt dolf Among other items of public In ., Jtcrest, Ruth admits he recently shot r i round of 73 at golf; tliut his walsl iluo Is reduced to a mere 38 inches .-.(a foot less than It measured In 1020); that he's a better movie actor r rthan ho thought he was; and that tho 1032 American league pennant raco "should be a breeze" for the Yankees, i "Yeah, I know the Athletics stilt havo Orovo and Earnshaw and those babies can pitch and this Simmons ,can hit," ho argued, "but we should havo beaten 'em last year and we will havo a lot better pitching." Ruth was to have had a workout With Max Schmcling yesterday for (j tho benofit of photographers at MC' Oovorn'o gymnasium but the. heavy- 'f;; weight chamiplon at the last minute telephoned ho was otherwise engaged. ,'-., "Hey, you don't supposo that guy t'r took a runout, do you?

KAPLAN KNOCKS REFEREE COLD IN PORTLAND PORTLAND,' Ore., Jan. 7 ' (P) It was a wild night at the municipal auditorium last night when the larg est crowd of the season gathered to sjo Ed Stranglcr Lewis and Abe Kap lan, heavyweight wrestlers perform. They were treated to the rare sight of seeing not only four falls In one match, but witnessing tho knocking out of the referee as a climax. The mad scramble In which most of the fans do not yet know what happened, came after 20 minutes of hard wres tling 1 14 the third fall after the first two falls had been divided, Lewis taking tho first and, Kaplan the sec ond. As Lewis attempted an' air plane spin. Kaplan grabbed the ropes. Referee ' Vern Harrington jumped Vd close to shake the Jewish: grappler's arm loose. While in that position Lewis started the spin. Kap- j lan's feet caught Harrington on the back of the neck and the official I shot through the ropes, out of tho ring and did not stop until the head- ; long plunge carried him to the foot of the steps leading to the stage. In tho meantime, the wrestlers orashed to the mat with Kaplan on top. He slipped into a cross body hold that planted the Strangler's shoulders to the mat, but the referee was; Just picking himself out of the orchestra pit. By the time Harrington returned to the ring, Lewis had wiggled out of the hold and taken the top hold and had Kaplan down. After Harrington awarded tho fall to Lewis, Kaplan took a hefty swing at tbo referee, knocking him cold. The police broke up tho free for all. The match was rough throughout. Big Bill Tilden Remains King of The Pro Courts NEW YORK, Jan. 7 CP) Big Bill Tilden, a champion for more years than he cares to count, remains the king of tho professional racquet swingers despite tho best efforts of Vincent Richards, a rival since the days when they both were amateur aces, to dislodge him. ' Richards, who turned pro In 1026 Just when he appeared to have Big BUI on the run, renewed the rivalry with Tilden last night as the climax of a two-day professional exhibition series at Madison Square garden and, much as usual, went down In a three set defeat. The scores were 8-2, 6-3, 6-1. From start to finish, Richards, newly crowned national lnabor pro champion, never could cope wHl) the Tildqn speed. "''' Sport Slants lly A lim J. ClouM v (Associated Press Sports Editor) All tho gabbing around the lob bies during tho winter gridiron con vention ; in Now York wasn't con Uu'ed to football. Al Schacht, all-around-athlete and comedian of the Washington Senators, was thore to strike a few baseball notes. No sooner had we fallen to on tho subject of the next American leaguo pennant race than Al re marked: "Thoso Athletics will be tough for us or the Yankees or anybody else to beat next year. They ought to win again, for the main reason that their pitching is still the best in the league. "I'll tell you where the payoff Is. Whon It comes down to a tight se ries, where Connie MJack hns to win threo out of four, who has ho got? You know us well as I do Wal berg, Orovo and Earnshaw. Those babies can pitch. In case you didn't know It. No otheJt club In the league has the samo class." Schacht thinks the addition of Carl Reynolds to the outfield will strengthen tho Senators greatly. The old trader, Clark Griffith, got "all tho better" of tho deal with tho Whlto Sox, by which Jones, Hadley and Hayes were handed over for Roynolds and Kerr, In Schacht's opinion.

Hi-st Piny Our, Wolch retained tho "Brown Derby" at the annual banquet of the American Football Coaches' as sociation, but Jim (Speely) Crow ley, one of the Four Horsemen of Notro Dame and now coach at Mtchlgnu state, brought down tho bull with this one: "In 1922 Notro Dame had nine Eophomores on tho team that went to Atlanta to play Oeorma Tech," Cruwley related. "In tho first half Tech got a field goal and things looked pretty dark for us. In, tho third period Laytlen punted to Hed Uarron, who muffed. We recovered on tho 20-ynrd lino and tried three plays In vain. It was fourth down. "It so happened that wo had a Presbyterian on the team. He btopped play and snld to us, 'Boys, let's havo a Hall Mary.' Well, we prayed, and Laydcn soon went over fur a touchdown. ' Uelievo it or not. the formula wan repeated. Attain Laytlen kicked, again Barron fumbled, again we tried three plays In vain. 'Lct'H have an other Hail Mary,' said tho Presby tei'iun. Well, nguln Lnydcn weiit cvi-r for a touchdown.

Irnbler Athletic Cluh Headed By New President By Mrs. Ray Wilson (Observer Correspondent) IMBLER (Special) The Imbler athletic club held a meeting at Wade hall Sunday afternoon. Officers were elected to serve for one year. ' Mllo Pratt was elected president. Charles Keenan, vice president and E. J Hazen, - secretary-treasurer.- - A com mittee was appointed to manage a series of club dances tc) begin in the near future. On this committee was placed John Morris, Walter Purm'an and Charles Keenan. It was decided to reorganize the volley ball teams and to add two additional teams for the purpose of a tournament. There will be four teams playing In this tournament and a manager was ap pointed for each team as follows : Mllo Pratt, Oalvln Johnson, Lyle Wilon and CUve Wilson. At the conclusion of the tournament the three losing teams are to furnish a banquet to the winning team. The club has more than doubled Its mem bership during the past year and have sponsored a number of sports all of which proved popular. Mi', and Mrs. Keller Str Ingham were over from Enterprise last week trans acting business and visiting friends and relatives In this vicinity. Frank Brown had the misfortune ,to cut a bad gosh' in his arm last Sunday with, a Jack knife while mak ing repairs on a gate. The wound I was dressed and sewn up by a La Grande doctor and is- doing well as cpuld be expected. i The M I- A. basketball teams of IMt. Glen and Imbler, played in Wade hall Monday night; At the end of .tho first half the score was 14-6 In favor of Mt. Glen. In the third quarter Imbler tied the score at 16 but fell behind after that to lose at 28-33. The game was played at a furious pace, and both, .teams, showed some good basketball which was somewhat marred by fumbling passes. The Imbler boys tried a lot of long shots but "lady luck" seemed to favor the boys from, across the valloy. Tho lineup: Imbler, guards, Clifford Conrad and L. Westenskow; forwards. Gene' Perry and Clifford Westenskow; center, P. Westenskow; Mt. Glen, forwards; Folk and Hlb bort; guards. Berry, and L. Waite; center, Vernon Waite; sub, M. Berry.

Beat Washington Battle Cry Of Northern Teams SEATTLE, Jan. 7 (P) The battle cry of "beat Washington" was heard in Oregon, Idaho and Washington to day as four of the five teams in the northern division of the Pacific coast conference prepared to open the 1032 basketball season tomorrow night. For four consecutive seasons Wash Ington has romped off with the north ern division championship and last year added the Pacific coast title to Its accomplishments by conquering the University of California In a play off series. Beating the Huskies this year will likely bo a tougher assignment than last season as Coach "Hoc" Edmund son is well fortified with veterans. John Fuller and Kline Swygards are back at the forward posts and Ned Nelson and Capt. Ralph Cairney ore holding down tho guard positions again. Pete Antonclch, a 6 foot 6 Inch center, has succeeded Henry Swanspn who was graduated. Anton clch transferred to Washington from the Uuivorslty of Alabama a year ago. O. S.

Added to Brave For 1932 (Note This Is the last of a ' series of stories on 1032 major ' league baseball prospects.) -By OH! King (Associated Press Sports Writer) BOSTON-, Jan. 7 (JPh-The off-season has been the dullest in years for the Boston Braves and new faces will be few when Manager Bill Mc Kechnle starts the 1032 operations in St; Petersburg, Fla., late next month. The' tribe was, and stilly is, over burdened with trading material but Its' chieftains were only able, to make two Important deals to bolster the weakest hitting outfit In the Na tional league. Shires, Knothe on Squad The outstanding trade reinstated Art Shires as a big leaguer and "the Great One," who had. quite a year with Milwaukee, is bent on becom ing the best first- baseman In the senior circuit. Bill Knothe, who la bored In Seattle during 1031, will cross the continent to try to plug the wide gap at third base. The passing of Freddy Maguire, to Louisville, will force McKecbnle to move the colorful Rabbit Maranville over to second - base - and give Bill Urbanskl the aging midget's old flhortstopj berth. Most of the Braves', hlttjng last season was supplied by the outfield, Wally Berger, Wes Schulmerlch, for mer Oregon State star athlete, and Bob Worthing ton, and this trio has not been tampered with. Randy Moore and Earl Clark will again serve as utility fielders, Merger lilts .333 Berger, one of five National lea guers to play in every game closed last season with a .323 batting av erage, getting 109 hits, including 44 doubles and 10 homers. Schulmerlch was the only other Brave to pass .300. The tribe, as a whole, hit for .258 against the league's team av erage of .277 and its fielding was only a point better than the .971 general average' Nothing much has been done to strengthen the pitching staff, which collapsed late last season, and Ed Brandt, Tom Zachary and Harry Sel bold, who was credited with 39 of the tribe's 64 victories, will again carry the hurling burdens. McKechnle has plenty of other pitchers and it Is likely that he will attempt to trade some of them. He could use a seasoned catcher to help hard-working Al Spohrer, whose ludicrous battle with Shires Is still enshrined in the memory of the New England boxing public. 10 Mountaineers ; Defeat Antler 8 (Continued Prom Page One) Mountaineers will Invade Baker Jan. 13 for a return game, and then open up the collegiate, season here the 15th with Lewiston Normal school.
