Georgia Tech Star
jMay Enter Annapolis
It is reported that "Buck" Flowers,
captain of the 1920 Georgia Tech eleven,
will be offered an appointment to the
United States military academy at West
Point. Flowers, who has an opportunity
of accepting an attractive business con
nection in this city, is reported as unde
cided whether or not to enter the gov
ernment service. Flowers has played
his allotted time in Tech football elev
ens, but, if he goes to West Point, this
fact will not count against him.
The appointment of Flowers would be
severely criticized among sporting men
as smacking of professionalism.

Ponies Get $5000 of Ruth's Pile
? .
Bambino; Far From Being Poor Man
By Westbrook Peeler
trflited Nw 8tff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Jan.. 13. George Ruth
lay in his eiderdown bunk in a gilded
Broadway hotel, fetchingly attired in a
moth-eaten black sweater and daintily
nibbling a morsel of battle ax.
"Where fell does this story come
from?" Air. Ruth wanted to know. "I'm
goin' broke on the races down at Havana.
Who's this guy 'at knows so much about
my business? I bet I can buy and sell
him out of my change pocket and leave
enough to retire him on full pay for life.
LIFE 18 INTERESTING
"I'll up and spoil the next guy 'at
horns Into jny' pers'nal affairs like how
much dougfi have I got and how much
do I lose."
This newspaper life is so interesting.
One day you may interview a beautiful
actress as -she sits in her milk bath, as
a Pittsburg reporter once Interviewed
Anna Held ; the next you interview the
grea
Sh
great Babe Ruth as he enjoys his good-
t chew of eatin'; tobacco preparatory
to threshing the old alfalfa.
"I'm down in Havana playin' a season
of winter exhibition games," Mr. Ruth
continued. "I'm getting a thousand
bucks a game and ; we play 11 games.
Well, that ends the season and the pro
moters want me for 11 more games, but
they only want to pay me 500 bucks a
game, but I tell them that stuff is out
because if I cut my jprice for them I got
to cut for the next guy that comes along
with a proposition, i
"So I decided to play around the race
track awhile, and I been picking up some
easy money, so I guess I can afford to
monkey with the odds a little bit- I play
the races about 10 days and drop just
5000 bucks, and that's all.
SALARY SMALLEST PART
"Five thousand isn't breaking me. I
f ot $20,000 from the Yanks last year, and
that's the smallest part of what I made."
Johnson and Cobb
Invest in Minors
Manager Ty Cobb Of the Detroit Tigers
and Walter Johnson of the Washington
Senators are stockholders in the New
Haven club of the Eastern league. The
two famous . American league players
each have invested $5000 la- the minor
league club, it is said. The Detroit club
and the New Haven officials have en
tered into an agreement whereby Ty
Cobb will use the minor league club as a
farm for his young players next season.
The New Haven club Is managed by
Chief Bender, and last season it was one
of the biggest money-makers in the or
ganisation. ' i
Yourself "
And you will find how
much more satisfaction a
little of this Real Tobacco
gives you than you ever
got from a big chew of the'
ordinary kind.
The good, rich, real to
bacco taste lasts so long
you don't , need a fresh
chew nearly as often. So
it costs you less. '
Any man who uses the
Real Tobacco Chew will
tell you that.
Put up in two styles
cut tobacco j
CUT is-a short-cut tobacco
' ' l
Then Babe toted up some of his in
come $20,000 from the Yanks, $11,000
from the Cubans, $10,000 for barnstorm
ing around the. East after the regular
season. $5000 for his writings, $5000 for
a statuette of him. $15,000 for acting in
a movie, and $5000 and royalty from the
phonograph people for his monologue
record.
"Only." he stipulated, with a tinge of
sadness, "all the royalties I got you
could stick inside a Swiss watch and
have room for a couple of Liberty mo
tors." That made $71,000, and Babe said it
wasn't all, either. It has been reported
that Babe got heavy money as a bonus
from the Yankees for drawing record
breaking crowds to every ball park on
the circuit when he was hitting 54 hom
ers last summer.
"Some guy started the report that I
lose a lot of money on the track and
says that's why I'm plajring; professional
basketball here now; This basketball
money is just a little change ; I'm play
ing the game Just to get into condition,
not for the dough."
WANTS TO PLAY FIRST
Babe is under" contract for another
year with the Yanks, and ha says he will
not hold out for a raise ; but he certainly
will not let false pride stand in the way
of his acceptance if the club offers him
a boost in salary.
He thinks he can .beat 54 homers this
year.
"Only trouble is some of the pitchers
are afraid of me now, and maybe they
won't pitch to me." he said.
Babe alao wants to play first base, but
Is resigned to whatever Job Miller Hug
gins gives him.
Mr. Ruth fought his Vay out of the
black sweater and switched off the light
at his bedside. j
"There's a lot of people he said, "that
would like to be broke like I am."
Kearns ' Worrying
About Go With Jess
Los Angeles. CaL, Jan. 13. (L N. S.)
Jax:k K earns, manager of Jaek Demp
sey, heavyweight champion, is begin
ning to fear the match with Jess Wil
lard. Scheduled for March 17, will be
called off owing to the recent ruling of
. V. . X- 1 . l t : ; .
$15 is the maximum price of admission
that may be charged for championship
bouts.
"Alt parties concerned have forfeit
money posted, but it begins to look as
if the heavyweight champion will be
f rosen out of New Tork," said Kearns
here today.
"Madison Square garden is the biggest
place available for a bout In the winter
and the limit of the attendance would
be $150,000. an amount not large enough
to handle the Dempsey-Wtllard bout."
Dempsey has gone to Oakland, where
he will visit a few days before going to
Portland for an exhibition with Terry
Keller. Kearns will remain here for
several days before joining the cham
pion in the north.

Army of New Players Lined Up
- K j V. K-
Records of Last Season Given
By George Berts
SOMJ3 very promising ball tossers,
judging from the official averages
of the 1920 season, have been rounded up
by the Pacific Coast league clubs for
1921. Mors additional players coming
from the major league clubs, it appears
as though more, new faces will be in
troduced to the coast baseball fans this
season than during any season of the
past five years.
New blood is going to be injected into
the line-up of every club and prospects
are that coast clubs will be faster than
at any time sine the organization1- of
the present circuit. There will be new
blood at the head of two clubs, William
Kenworthysucceedlng Clyde Wares as
pilot of the Seattle club and Clifford
Cravath taking Ernie Johnson's place at
Salt Lake.
MAST NEW BEATERS
Portland will present at least 10 new
faces to the' fan a Manager Walter Mo
Credie is rebuilding the entire team. Two
players have been acquired for the In
field, Pool from the Richmond club of
the Virginia league, and Krug, second
baseman of the Salt Lake club. Several
young outfielders have been signed, but
McCredie is relying on Chicago for a
hard hitting outfielder, and has a deal
pending for a couple of fly chasers from
an eastern circuit.
Two. and possibly three, new Infield.-
ers will appear in the Oakland line-up.
Al White, second baseman of the Ro
chester club, has been secured from the
Giants, and Ralph Pinelli has been
turned over by Detroit. Oakland is well
fixed in the outfield and has grabbed
a good receiver in Robertson, who was
considered the top notch catcher of the
Texas league last season. Oakland ex

Twelve-Hole Golf
Course Suggested
Golf courses of 12 holes are favored
by an English critic.
In an article in the Sphere, an Eng
lish publication, A. P. Herbert says :
"I think that by strong measures it
may still be possible to make golf a
tolerable game. The chief thing is that
it is frightfully complicated and, labori
ous. The fundamental cause of this is
the unfortunate fixing of a f normal
length of a course at 18 holes. I won
der who did that? It is six holes too
long.
"It is because of these six holes that
the bond-slaves have to bolt their break
fast and to miss their baths and come
back late for their lunch ; that everyone
rushes around the course at a hard
gallop ; that everyone 4s always press
ing someone in front or letting some
body go through behind;, that everyone
is touchy and bad tempered about eti
quette in the morning ; that . everyone
totters exhausted into the club house
and takes to secret drinking before
lench. If the normal course was 12
holes, these evils might disappear.'

The Salt Lake club will have to be' re

French Polo Team
Is Seeking Matches
it is generally expected that polo will
prove to be the big international sport
off 1921, ' for the matches between the
American and British teams for the su
premacy of the world, to be held sat the
famous Hurlingham club grounds in
England next June, are considered the
most important sporting event of the
year from an international point of view.
However, polo activities in 1921 are not
to be limited to the Hurlingham matches
for an extensive program hasi been
mapped out for American players other
than those who are to go abroad to rep
resent this country. The Indoor .Polo
association will keep things moving at
a greater pace than ever before till the
outdoor season opens, and them these
votaries of the indoor game probably
will take part in numerous contests in
the open on nearby fields, while all the
regular polo organizations will ( make
strenuous attempts to make tha sport
more popular than ever before by. in
augurating a continuous series of
matches.

of baseball. There : are a number of
players who have it on Ty In age and
the number of years playing professional
baseball when counting their days In
the major and minor leagues, but the
great Cobb has il on any player now
in the major leagues in point of service.
I3T GAME If YEARS
Sixteen seasons of strenuous base
ball in a fast league Is the record the
man from Georgia holds and to make it
better his strength and wonderful abil
ity was given to one club. Ex-Manager
Cravath of the Philadelphia Nationals,
has played ball for 19 seasons, but only
11 were put in on big league diamonds.
Sherwood Magee and Dode Paskert
played ball for 17 years. Magee played
16 of them in the National league and

of the season of 1920 such great playera
as Eddie Collins, larry uoyie, r rtu

14 seasons of major league baseball.
OTHERS LOITO IK SPORT
The season of 1908 turned loose a
squad of rookies on the baseball mar
ket that swvived and are among the
famous vts of today. Tris Speaker
slipped through his thirteenth, season
with a flourish and. received all the
cash, glory and adulation a player can
possibly pull down. Donls Bush, Clyde
Milan, Jbe Wood, "Buck" Herzog, Jim
my Austin and Ed Konetchy have played
13 seasons in major leagues and still
live to tell the tale and draw fat salaries.

As Dummies by Grid
Men of Mont. S. of M.
Ttitt Mont. Jan. 15. L N. S.)
DmAAaA "Hummies" and . bucking ma
chines had no place in the football curric
ulum of Coach Chester nttser or uie
Montana School of Mines. Following
the close of the gria scneauie i mou
tn. vrirVi mads the best showing Of
any school of mines squad in many
years, it became known that Pittser used
real boulders as tackling aummiea.
Pittaer's warriors did all their prelim
inary practicing and scrimmage work on
the side of the mountain and there was
little space for kicking ths pigskin
around. The linemen had no bucking
machines and the backs were- sans tack
ling dummies, so Pittser sent his men up
against huge boulders in the mountain
side. Tackling humans in their games
afterward was something akin to going
up against soft cushions compared to
the mountain boulders.
Despite ths handicap of not having
a gridiron upon which to practice, Pitt
ser's players finished third in the Mon
tana conference race.
Several of ths Mines players worked
shifts in ths copper mines in addition
to attending school.

down in his fight and who also knew

the neighborhod of Brighton the ; news
of his bankruptcy cams as a shock.
It developed, however, that ths pro

Urns Frank was not In; the best of finan

action against him for ths recovery of

swelled up ths liabilities to about $2500.
His assets were then given as "nil."
At ths hearing bis lawyer explained
