And unless predictions go sadly awry, these two youngsters are billed to make their successors In the ring seem like slow moving pictures, In spite of the fact that the principals In the main event have a reputation for throwing considerable leather. Ever since the last card fans have been talking about the wonderful lameness of Young, who, after tak ing a terrific punch In the belly In the early part of the bout, came back fighting and was throwing wicked punches at the final bell.

They don't like the idea of a ball player kick ing about 180,000 a season." Ruth left the conference, accord ing to word from St. Petersburg, and about an hour later had agreed to Col. Ruppert's terms which had been turned down by the Babe Friday. Ruth now receives twice as much as any other baseball player. The four highest paid players are: Ruth $80,000; Hornsby (40,000; Gehrig (25,000; Vance $20,000.

The Huskies from the north, win ners of their division, Saturday night posted a 36 to 31 victory over the champions of the southern sec tion after the Trojans had won the Initial clash In an Impressive 4 to 31 triumph. Expert basket marksmanship which followed the first game slump in scoring activities was responsible for the remarkable comeback oi Coach Edmundson's tossers after the first game defeat which seemed to noint to certain victory for the U.
