LITTLE JOE 1BMON KEPT DAD DOWN IN THE CELLAR; RADIO KEEPS HIM UP AND CROSS WORD PUZZLES THREATEN LADKIN IS SOLD, Great Race Horse Was Conqueror of Epinard. New York, Jan. 16.--Ladkin, con- queror of Epinard in the second in- ternational special at Aqueduct last summer, and two other leading racers, of the late August Belmont's string, together with seventeen two- year-olds, all bons of Fair Play, were sold on Wednesday, but the name of the purchaser was withheld by the estate. The four-year-olds in the deal, be- sides Ladkin, were Lucky Play, now at Tiajuana and Blind Play. The value of the three is placed at $100,- 000. Chance Play and Festival were the stars of the two-year-olds, according to their trials last fall. The former would have brought $35,000 at auec- tion, while Festival's value has been placed at $20,000. The Referee.

New York, Jan. 16.--Paavo Nurmi never will run as & professional un- der the auspices of Tex Rickard or any one else, and Rickard probably will forget hi} intention to offer a proposition to the Finn. There was almost no hope for Rickards plan in the first place and there was. con- siderably less than that when Hugo Quist, president of the Finnish-Am- erican Athletic Club, Nurmi's official spokesman, visited the New York ph ilhGansSays If the Washington club pan stay up in the race the coming season it will make a lot of money. After a féam wins a world cham- plonship it is a big card the follow- ing year if it can continue to play bang-up ball. That is the task that now con- fronts Manager Stanley Harris of the Washington club, champions of the universe. Harris, in his first year as man- ager, won baseball's greatest honor. His effort to retain that prestige is going 'to. be an even more difficult task. « . . Washington won the American League pennant and the world series championship with a team that the experts did not rate the strongest in the American League. .. . - Last season I finished with the Cleveland and St. Louis clubs. Just prior to the final game I chatted with George Sisler, famous manager of the Browns. We discussed they winnifig of the pennant by Wash- ington and their chances in the series, "Harris deserves all kinds of praise for the playing of the Wash- ington club, He won a pennant with a team that was not the strongest in the American League," said Sis- ler, "1 figured both New York and De- troit much more formidable clubs. And at the start of the season there was no doubt in my mind but that the Browns were a better ball club than Washington. "The winning of the pennant un- der such conditions is certainly a great tribute to the managerial abil- ity of Harris." I then switched the conversation to the world series. I was anxious to get Sisler's opinion of the Na- tionals versus the Giants, . . . "Unquestionably McGraw has a team of greater strength and is much better fortified with substl- tutes," continued Sisler. "On form one would have to pick the Giants to win but I really think Washington has a great chance, "It.is a club with real spirit that fights its best when trailing. We couldn't break the spirit of the club after Cleveland had beaten four etraight and my club five straight. "That through." At the close of the series I recall- my conversation. with the star of the Browns. He surely had the right dope. Mere spirit, however, cannot tarry on indefinitely unless backed up by something more material. Spirit must be abetted by base hits, super- ior fielding and good pitching. In an effort to stay up in the race the coming season Harris is bank- ing on veteran material. Instead of dabbling with young- sters, with the thought of developing them, he is tying up with veterans, hoping they may have at least one big year. That is why Harris purchased 40- year-old Vean Gregg, a star pitcher in the majors 10 years back; made a trade for the veteran spitballer, Stanley Coveleskle, and refused to walve on "Dutch" Reuther, star southpaw of the National League a few years back. If these three veteran pitchers come through for Harris, keep his club well up in the first division, all will be . well. He will still be a great manager and his club will make plenty of money. spirit may carry Harris However, after about one more yeat the boy manager will be up against the task of rebuilding his ball club, as the Nationals as a whole aré far from youngsters. Directing a big league ball club is far from a soft spot. Stanley Harris will tell you that.

Unlike most boxers who take ta the stage, they are both good comedians and are a great hit in New York. Jimmy Wilde, the gallant ~ little Welshman, who lost his flyweight title to Pancho Villa in 1923, is an enthusiastic golfer, and has- quite a stock of jokes concerning the royal and ancient game. One of them concerns a certain professional player who won a com- petition in the course of which he made a record number of remark- ably long drives. After the game he was surround- ed by a crowd of admirers, anxiously asking what make of ball he had played with. "Well," replied the "pro." with an eye to the future and to the ball manufacturer, "I haven't quite de- cided yet." ' In an article which he contributed to the Paris "Soir," Georges Carpen- tier complains bitterly of the atti- tude and of the coarse and ignorant language addressed by the modern Parisian crowds to the contestants and the officials to-day. He points out that the boxing fans of to-day want to witness a bloody combat ending In a knockout, while the fans Try the New Cuticura Shaving Stick and Emollient each every night.
