B y Eddie Ash Perry Puzzled by Small Crowds Here Tribe Paid Off on 9,956 in Columbus
PECK and his Indianapolis Wednesday and met Red Killefer’s American Association Indians and when the battle between the Redskins was over the minor leaguers were on top, 1 to 0. Heavy-hitting Frank Sigafoos of the home nine blasted a double to deep right after two down in the ninth and Ernie Wingard whistled a single to left that scored “Siggie” with the lone marker of the contest. It was an exhibition tilt worth while, filled with sharp fielding, good pitching and constant hustling. Asa result the affair was run ofT in one hour and twenty minutes. The entertainment was special and was designated as “Oral Hildebrand day,” but was a losing venture financially for both clubs, less than 800 fans being present.
a a a TEAM IS GOING GOOD Norman PERRY, owner of t.he A. A. Indians and officials of the Cleveland team were disappointed over the poor gate and Perry intimated that if business at the stadium fails to show an early pick-up after the Tribe comes in off the road again he may be compelled to use extreme measures. In other words, Indianapolis seems to be on the verge of passing out as a supporter of the national pastime and it’s possible that Perry may turn the Tribe franchise back to the league and lock up the stadium. The Hoosier Indians are only three and one-half games back of the Columbus league leaders and have been going at a fast clip the last two weeks. The Killefer pastimers were in Toledo today for a single game and will return home to begin a series with the Milwaukee Brewers under the lights Friday. It will be “ladies’ night. ” tt tt tt SITUATION ELSEWHERE SEVERAL cities in the American Association are doing far better than Indianapolis from the standpoint of the gate and Owner Perry says the whole thing is a riddle to him. In Columbus Tuesday, when the Indians played a double-header with the Red Birds, the Tribe was paid off on an attendance of 9,956, or practically 10,000. “Show me a crowd like that here and I will think the baseball world has been rebuilt,” Perry stated Wednesday as he gazed out on the empty seats after going to a big expense to bring the club in off the road to celebrate “Hildebrand day.” Evidently Hildebrand and his Cleveland mates were displeased, too, for Oral pitched only one inning whereas his manager, Roger Peckinpaugh, had planned to use him at least three rounds. Feeney to Stop 4 Mat Burlesque 9 Wrestlers performing in Indiana j will be limited to two bouts a week! under a rule to become effective June 7, A1 Feeney, state athletic commissioner, announced today. Three days must elapse between the matches, Feeney said. The change was made, Feeney explained, to eliminate the practice of some wrestlers who participate! in as many as five show’s a week, sometimes meeting the same op- j ponent in as many as three | matches. “I have no desire to hinder any one making a living,” Feeney said, “but the practice of some promoters in making a complete burlesque of the game must be stopped.” Armory Program Is Filled Out The wrestling card to be staged at the armory Friday night has been filled out and there will be four bouts. Matchmaker Gardner announced today. Program follows: Billy Them, Bloomington, vs. Johnny Carlin. Indianapolis; two in three falls. Time limit, one hour thirty minutes. Cliff Kauffman. Columbus, vs. Henry iWhiskersl Kolln, Benton Harbor; two in three falls. Time limit, forty-five minutes. Billv Londos, Chicago, vs. Jack Wilcox, Columbus: one fall. Time limit, thirty minutes. Eddie Belshaw, Bloomington, vs. Norm Faust, Ft Wayne; one fall. Time limit, thirty minutes. First match at 8 30. Referee. Ed Westfall Thom and Carlin, main go performers, are middleweight* and are rated about the best in the state at that poundage. Yale Hurler Is Signed by Yanks By United Press NEW YORK. June I.—Johnny Broaca. Yale's star pitcher, has been signed by the New York Yankees and is slated to withdraw from school and report to Manager Joe McCarthy at Yankee stadium Friday. Broaca recently was suspended from the Yale nine by Coach Joe Wood, because he refused to pitch more than once a week. He is a right-hander. SEARSTBRADFORD TO PILOT BUTLER TEAM Ray Sears, one of the midwest's outstanding distance runners, and Edward Bradford, veteran dash star, were named co-captains of Butler's 1934 track team Wednesday. Coach Hermon Phillips loses several stars this year, including Captain Tauer, Knisley, Bailey. Compton. Boaz, Love. Elser and Felter. SPEED CARD PLANNED By TimiS Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., June 1 Four auto races and an A. M. A. motorcycle race are on the inaugural speed card at Bloomington speedway, half-mile dirt track three miles south of here, on June 18. Two elimination races, a match race and twenty-five mile feature are on the auto card. Ed Deßias is manager of the track. DALLAS FIRES MORSE By Timet Special DALLAS, Tex., June I.—Hap Morse was released today as manager of the Dallas Texas League club, * position he has held since 1930. The Steers rank sixth in the league standing. His successor has not been named.
tt tt U TWO GAMES SATURDAY PERRY is of the opinion cut prices is not the solution to the local baseball puzzle. He tried it last Saturday night with a forty-1 cent admission to any seat in the grandstand and the receipts were the same although there was a bulge in attendance. The Pacific Coast and Texas leagues reported a similar experience when they cut the ticket fee. The Milwaukee series, starting Friday night, will be a five-game stand and w’ill include a twilightmoonlight double header on Saturday, first game at 5 p. m., and the second at 8:15. The park will not be cleared between games and one admission will be good for both contests. No pass-out checks will be issued, however. * There also will be a twin bill Sunday afternoon. nun NEW WAY OF ‘CRASHING’ SOMETHING new’ in gate crashing turned up at the 500-mile race Tuesday, and we don’t mean the wrecking of the fence at the north end when about 3,000 barged in without paying. The new wrinkle that was successful consisted of two men entering the main gate concealed in an auto with a spacious back. Shortly before reaching the Speedw’ay, the driver lifted up the cover in back, the two crashers got in, the cover was dropped and the party was on. The driver kept in touch with his hidden passengers like this: “Be still; we are nearing the gate. Now’ we are about to go through. Don’t stir. We are through. Keep down; there are a lot of guards around. Now’ we are approaching the tunnel. We re going through.” And then the infield and safety. Three in for the price of one. a a a One of the criticisms of the Cleveland ball club is that it is weak on double plays. Wasn't weak Wednesday. They pulled three on Killefer's Indians. a a a Frank Sigafoos rapped the big league pitching for a single and double. He is certainly smacking | that horsehide and is leading the A. A. tt tt t Dudley Lee took a throw from Angley Wednesday while off his feet, but while doing the circus leap he tagged out Burnett, who was stealing just before the Cleveland shortstop “took off” on a sliac. tt tt tt Craghead went to the Cleveland mound after the first round and remained until the end. Stewart Bolen was in rare form and held the major leaguers to seven blows. I Harley Boss got three of the hits, j a a tt Tom Angley ran over to the ! stand, reached over the wall and j snared Averill's tall foul in the ninth. a a a Harry Rosenberg tripled with none down in the fifth, but Craghead got the next three men in order and Harry was left perched on third. Bolen had his eye on the bail as well as control on the mound. He solved Craghead for a double and single. a a tt The reserved seat section of Perry stadium has been abolished. The entire grandstand, except boxes, w’ill be open as general admission, 75 cents. a a a Blue Key. honorary fraternity of Butler university, presented Hildebrand with a “B" blanket, after Hildie was introduced to the fans by Paul Hinkle, Butler athletic director. tt tt tt Roy Spencer, chief Indianapolis catcher when the local Indians captured the pennant in 1928, was on hand with Cleveland. DE PAUW NINE RAPS FRANKLIN, 12 TO 5 By United Prrss GREENCASTLE, Ind.. June I. De Pauw scored a 12-to-5 victory over Franklin baseball team here Wednesday. Two Franklin pitchers allowed eighteen hits, while their teammates were charged with six errors. Outfielder Aiken led the Tigers at bat, with a double and a triple.

Turf Stars Meet Again Head Play, Mi'. Khayyam to Clash in Chicago Race on Saturday. By Times Special CHICAGO, June I.—Another big step in determining the 3-year-old turf champion of 1933 w’ill be taken here Saturday when most of the title contenders tangle in the $25,000 added American Derby at Washington park. Head Play, second in the Kentucky Derby and victor in the Preakness, hurled a brilliant challenge Wednesday in the form of a sensational workout. The big red cyclone, stepping along briskly under a tight pull, covered the first quarter in :23 3-5, half in :47 3-5, three-quarters in 1:12 4-5, mile in 1:38 3-5 and mile and eighth in 1:51 3-5. He was waved down by Trainer Hayes and jogged the remainder of the mile and quarts in 2:06 3-5. Mr. Khayyam, conqueror of Head Play in the recent Wood Memorial, arrived Wednesday for the race, and Matt Brady, his trainer, predicted another victory for his star. Khayyam appeared in top shape when unloaded and w’as scheduled to work today. Charley 0., Florida Derby winner and third in the Kentucky classic, also is training well for the big local event. Other strong contenders include Utopian, halfbrother of Twenty Grand, Fair Rochester, Col. Hatfield, Isaiah, Ladysman and others. C. V. Whitney’s The Darb, winner of Tuesday’s Withers Stake in the east, probably will not be shipped here for Saturday's classic, it was said today.

BY CHESTER SMITH Pittsburgh Press Sports Editor PITTSBURGH. June I.—lt may have been the cold air and again it may have been the elusiveness of Eddie (Kid) Wolfe, Memphis welterweight, but Tracy Cox, Indianapolis battler, couldn’t land his famous right and lost a ten-round decision to the southerner at Meyers Bowl, Braddocx, Wednesday night. Tracy seemed to be off on his timing and landed only about five solid punches during the entire bout. At that, he connected on Wolfe’s jaw just as the ninth round closed and dumped the Memphis boy.

him up and when he comes down the stretch, he is kicking with both feet, batting with one hand, punching the horse in the neck with the other, and yelling like a Montana cowboy, all at the same time. One of the boys said you can’t beat a combination like that. The old timers at the track say Jack rides more like the famous Tod Sloan than any other jockey on the turf. He rides very high with his feet, and uses what is known as the "monkey crouch ” but regardless of how he rides or whether he appears like a monkey, he sure does boot ’em in at his very ripe young age of 16 years.

Ostopavitch on Mat Card Darna Ostopavitch, Lithuanian, whose 235 pounds have flopped numerous topnotch wrestlers, will clash with Jim McMillen, ex-college grid star, in the feature tussle on the Hercules A. C. mat card Monday night at Tomlinson hall. Ostopavitch comes highly-touted as a grappler of the aggressive type. It will be his first local appearance. Matchmaker Lloyd Carter figures the McMillen-Ostopavitch bout will provide an unusual amount of action.

Oldfield Finishes Last , but Gets Credit for Victory, New Records
BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Telegram Sports Editor NEW YORK. June I.—Seen and heard by a roving sports writer on a recent trip to the mid-west. Barney Oldfield, first of the great automobile drivers, standing on the lawn at the Indianapolis Speedway, | besieged by autograph filberts, re-1 calling the days when he and Henry : Ford were just starting out in the business. “The only difference between Henry and me today is about 100 million dollars,” he said. a o tt BACK in 1914, Oldfield was officially credited with having driven the fastest five, ten. fifteen and twenty miles in history, and was presented with a document duly confirming the exploit. But actually he was last instead of first. “The mistake was due to confusion on the part of the timers — that year,” explains the old-timer, “I was the last car to qualify, and they started me at the rear of the field. The cars up ahead laid down a heavy smoke screen I waited a few seconds for the atmosphere to clear. When I finally got started and shot past the judges’ stand there was an outburst of cheering. I couldn’t understand why they were cheering me. But I did later. They thought I was leading. So did the timers. Asa result, I was credited with finishing the first lap in front when actually I was just starting it.” a a a DONIE BUSH, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, lying in bed dangerously ill. receiving guests for a few brief moments the flight before the 500-mile race, and asking in a thin voice, “who won the games today?” a a a Steve Harter, the man about town, reminding visiting war correspondents that Indianapolis always was a great sports community. “Name me a greater fighter than Jack Dillon.

80,000 to Sec Scrap Promoter Jack Ballyhoos Battle of Maxies in Grand Style. BY JACK CUDDY' United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. June I.—A week from tonight a thrilling new chapter will be written into that chronicle of blows and blood, gold and glory that comprises the history of heavyweight pugilism. Max Schmeling and Maxie Baer will climb through the ropes at Yankee stadium, weaihor permiting, for a scheduled fifteen-round bout, bringing to a climax a daring venture in prize fight promotion. Neither fighter is a champion, yet their meeting is being arranged in greater splendor and with louder ballyhoo than most recent title bouts. Moreover, it is being staged in the face of opposition from Madison Square Garden, center of the world's boxing industry, and right in the Garden's own bailiwick—just when an army of crepehangers is moaning that the fight game virtually is dead. Argues With Jacobs According to the promoters, the financial success of the bout already is assured by advance sale of tickets. About 80,000 fans are expected to attend. Schmeling is a former heavyweight champion, and Baer is a promising young fighter, but the big reason for the bout’s apparent success is the fact that Jack Dempsey is handling the promotion. Dempsey gave this fight more publicity probably than any other individual could have secured. He signed the fighters, made arrangements for their training, went into the ring with them and boxed at their camps, and now has become embroiled with Schmeling's manager, Joe Jacobs, because he gave Baer a couple of pointers for the fight. Schmeling Is Favorite Schmeling probably will be a 2-to--1 favorite because of his greater experience. Baer is somewhat of an unknown quantity, despite the advertising. The best man he ever whipped was the late Ernie Schaaf. Both are hard hitters, and it’s doubtful if the fight will go the limit. Baer is the more devastating puncher, but he's wild, and the German slugger is an elusive target.
cial failure because he christened it “The Bunion Derby." "That name took from the event all of its majesty and serious social significance and caused the public to accept it as a frivolous triviality.” moaned Pickens, who is very expert at moaning. n u tt Gar Wood, white haired speed boat champion, was discussing the future of water racing. He holds the present record at 124 miles an hour. He foresees a much greater advance with the coming of additional motor refinements. “I even think I will live to see the day of the 200 miles an hour speed boat,” he predicted. “You mean if you are lucky,” smart-cracked Steve Hannagan, implying a man would need luck to live in a boat geared for such tremendous speed. WOLGAST SCRAP OFF DETROIT, June I.—Previous en* gagements preventing Willie Davis, Charleroi, Pa., flyweight, from competing caused promoters to call off the scheduled bout between Davis and Champion Midget Wolgast here Friday night.
