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. Olympic team (all spts.) 11
8 Pittsburg, football 8
9 Michigan, football 7
10 Notre Dame, football 7
11 Japanese Olympic swimming

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.

sion over Tod Morgan, Seattle, for

division, Tod scaling 141
pounds and Lewis 142.

of the time but tired fast fn the
last two rounds to take a neat beat
ing. Tod threw everything he had
into an attack in the third round
and won the canto by a good mar
gin but the furious pace slowed him
up and made him a target for some
hard punches. He was cut over both
eyes.
Ceferino Franco, Manila welter
weight, was holding his own with
Leonard Bennett. Detroit, until he
went down from a poke In the sto
mach in the second round and was
counted out. The bout was ached

Parrlsh Junior high served notice
Tuesday night that It will have to

championships are handed out by
decisively defeating Turner high 38
to 13. Displaying the smooth and
fast attack which characterizes team
work of squads coached by Frank
Brown, the Juniors held a 13-3 ad
vantage at quarter time. Parrlsh

quarter while the visitors were held
to a single basket.
The Turner team, weakened by
the epidemic of Influenza, showed
better form during the third period
and held Parrlsh even. Play on the
part of the Juniors became some
what ragged during the third auar-
ter. Parrlsh snapped out of it how
ever, during the final period to add
another 11 points.
Brown, one of the tallest centers
to represent Parrlsh In several sea
sons, handled himself well against
Turner. He, Johnson and Salstrom

Parrlsh while Cook, center, proved
the best scorer for Turner,

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.
