Old Timers Performed for Love of Sport Says Fa mous Manager New York GiantsCash Talks Now (By Charles A. GruniUh.) KONSAfl CITY, April 7. (JP) Whlte- halrtd John McGraw, 59 years old to day, bslievcs baseball hu lost much of the punch and aggressive nesi that h hu exemplified during 43 years as a fiery player and manager, "The ball Is the same size, "bases are the same distance apart as hry were when I first started In baseball." h explains, "but the game Isn't play ed as aggressively." McOraw, reputed to be a 166,000--year manager, puts the blame on money. "Mow .Much?" Is Watchword.. "Men used to play ball without asking what their salaries were; now they want to know what they're go ing to get before they'll put on a uniform," McOraw said- "It's the same with college players It's how much can I get out of It?" "When I first played back In 1890, as a not-very-good -third -baseman 1 got MO a month. 1 went to the big leagues at 11.400 a season, was raised to 1.50O. and thought I was doing well. The players don't take the In terest now. They're not as serious as they used to be. "They have automobiles and spend as much Urns as possible away from the ball park. We used to go to the park In the morning, stay all day and not go home to lunch." Not 8o Actove Now. After 30 years with the Giants, Mc Oraw hopes to continue In baseball the rest of his life, but added with a twinkle in his eye, "I don't know how much longer I'll stay I am not so active physically as I was a few years ago." "The 1933 race? we've got a good club and we'll be hard to beat, with luck. You can't tell anything from that game with Detroit, because we had been on the train three days coming from California." The De troit Tigers beat the Giants here y cat-relay, 5 to 1. After a series of games In Detroit, the Olants will arrive In New York next Sunday night. Dr. Spears Returns to Native Midwest to Attempt Revival Badgers' Grid Fame . MADIBOH. Wis. (AP) A happy wanderer of the football fields Is coming back to his native midwest with 10 years of coaching experience spread across the continent. In taking over the head coaching Job at the University of Wisconsin Clarence W. "Doc" Spears Is put ting himself In an admittedly "tough spot." But his coaching record rather conclusively proves that such haz ards don't bother him. One of the most colorful figures In the coaching business, because of his ready repartee, as well as hi huge build, Spears has been a con sistent producer of winning teams. Himself a star lineman at Dart mouth, Spears was an assistant coach for a time at the Oreen Mountain school, then he took over the reins at West Virginia. After a five-year regime at Minnesota, he went to Oregon, whence he Is now returning to take charge of the spring train ing of the Badgers. At Minnesota, through the seasons of 1925 to 1929, he produced power house elevens, which finished that period with a record of 38 victories, nine defeats and three ties. In two seasons at Oregon, "Doc's" teams won 14 out of 18 games. Strong defense has been Spears' forte, along with well-drilled lines, yet he also has evolved some bril liant offensive machinery when ma terlal has been adaptable. He enjoys making backs out of linemen, and vice versa, as witness the coses of Clarence Munn, a prom ising high school fullback switched by Spears to guard, where he bt came an All-America: and Bronko Nagurakl. changed from tackle to fullback with equally marked re suits. Spears holds an M.D. degree from Dartmouth and practiced medicine while coaching at West Virginia, but bes been too busy In more recent Jobs to maintain a practice. Golf and hunting are his chief sideline activities now. a ABE WITH 'CRAB' PORTLAND, Ore., April T.

GOLFER WITH HEADACHE TURNS IN BETTER CARD URBANA, 111., April 7. p) If you wish to play a good game of golf. Just work up a headache and maybe you'll put Old Man Par where "he" belongs. The golf player with a headache has the advantage over his companion who feels "fit as a fiddle," Dr. Cole man R. Griffith, payohologlcal e- search director of athletics at the University of Illinois, said today. His explanation: "This headache keeps him from pressing and from experimenting. He Is out merely to play the game, and this means he Is out to do that which be has been In the habit of doing "If a man goes Into a golf game feeling fine, either of two things may happen: He may start to make each hole In one and thus be guilty of pressing; or he may experiment. Pressing bronks up timing and rhythm. Experimenting may lead to disaster. "The man who has a headache or Is not at his best, will not be guilty of pressing. He will play his natural game."

Over the past 30 years. It said, federal military expenditures have Increased "far less than three-fold while expenditures for non-mllltnry purposes have been allowed to In crease eight-fold; and It a bo ap pears that, under Mr. Hoover's man agement, non-military expenditure. have gone up 30 per cent while he has reduced expenditures for mili tary purposes by a per cent."
