THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON YANKEE CHAMPIONSHIP GREATEST SPORT FEATURE WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1932 AMERICAN CLUB FAR AHEAD IN NATIONAL POLL New York, Dec. 21 ) By an overwhelming margin, the nation's f ports experts have decided that the New York Yankees' feat of winning the American league championship and the world scries was the great est team achievement of the year. Exactly 100 out of the 302 votes cast in the second annual Asso ciated Press poll of sports writers and editors went to the Yankees. The college football teams of Col gate and Southern California, the pro outfit of the Green Bay Pack ers, the United states Olympic track and field squad, and Califor nia's all-conquering crew, finished badly distanced also-rans to the Yankees. Colgate's football array, undefeat ed, untied and unscored upon, fin ished in second place with 33 votes, six more than Southern California's mole-skin warriors. Apparently it was the Yankees' consistent performance over the long stretch from April to October that turned the tide of ballots to ward them rather than to any one football team. The Yankees played 160 games where football elevens are asked to play nine or ten at the most. Here's how the leaders finished In the balloting: 1 New York Yankees, baseball 100 2 Colgate, football 33 8 Southern California 28 4 U. S. Olympic track and field team 20 8 Green Bay Pro football team 19 6 University of Gal., crew 15 7 U. s.

JONES RETAINS BELT FOLLOWING MAT EXHIBITION Henry Jones, wearer of the world's welterweight championship wrestl ing belt, and Robin Reed, one time possessor of the glittering emblem of mat supremacy arranged the stage for a rematch when their ex hibition ended in a draw with both principals "out" on the floor beside the ring Tuesday night. Jones re tained his belt. The end of the affair came soon after the second fall which was taken by Reed following a scries of shoulder butts. After sparring about a bit Reed suddenly leaped up and clamped on a flying scissors. Both men went over the ropes, although one of Reed's feet became entangled and he dangled there until Refere Harrington released him. Neither one came back Into the ring during tne 20 second count and Harrington called it a draw since each man had previously won a fall. With neither man showing much in the way of wrestling, each one apparently being content to use el bows and harmless rabbit punches the bout dragged through a litUe better than 16 minutes before Jones took the first fall after the pair had bumped heads. Referee Harrington was utilized to enliven matters during the second round with Jones and Reed alter nating In tackling and roughing the arbiter. At one time during the gen eral mixup Harrington was flipped over the ropes when Reed applied his flying head scissors. Harrington and Jones swung viciously at each other but both were careful not to land. The match was finally evened up when Reed flattened Jones in 7& minutes. Jack Mitchell lost the preliminary to Prankic Low of Grand Junction, Colo., when the latter took two out of three falls. Close to 1000 persons saw the exhibition.

DIDRIXSON ENDS ATHLETIC ROW Dallas, Tex., Dec. 21 WV-Mildred Babe Didrikson, phenomenal girl athlete resigned her job and drove south toward the Gulf of Mexico last night, leaving sports followers to puzzle over reports she planned to turn professional and that 6he was considering matrimony. Miss Didrikson apparently was oh her way to her Beaumont home to spend the holidays with her family, but she could not be found. Mrs. C. Didrikson said she understood that her daughter, who recently was sus pended by the amateur athletic un ion because she allegedly endorsed a motor car, expected to turn pro fessional soon. At Houston, the athlete's sister, Mrs. Esther Elam, laughed at re-J ports that Babe was to be married. She said there was "absolutely no thing to it." A typewritten statement was Issu ed to Houston papers as coming from Miss Didrikson. It was con firmed by Mrs. Elam as authentic. One paragraph read: "Tills is my last word concerning suspension. So far as I am concern ed, It Is a closed Incident. Newspa pers and the public must be tired of the whole business. I know I am." Miss Didrikson has repeatedly de nied the allegation of which she au tomatically lost her amateur rating, But her suspension upset her plans for playing basketball with the Gol den Cyclones, a team sponsored by the Insurance company which em ployed her.
