SMmmmmmmmmsaßßH* TIRRIN 7 the DOPE * By VEDDERGAfiD

f-.-'l (PRESS dispatch from New IZV York says that Charley Lrnl Hoff, the sensational Norwegian pole vaulter, cleared the bar at thirteen feet, one inch, for anew Indoor record Thursday night at the Millrosse A. A. meet without removing his sweater or long trousers. We can think of no exclamation of sufficient power to express our amazement. That fellow is a* bird —that’s all. Hats off to Hoff—doff to Hoff. Tonight at the Boston A. A. games the uprights were built special, two feet higher than standard. That man Hoff flies, he doesn’t vault. Those who have seen the great vaulter in action say that the secret of his marvelous leaps is that he “takes It in his stride ” He approaches the standards at a crisp trot and throws himself into the air at the precise moment the pole come In contact with the socket. It is the synchronization of the Norwegian’s movements that brings him to the proper height and over the bar without apparent effort. There is none of the strain and wrench at the last moment. It is said that he takes a fraction of a second less than the AmerI icans to complete the vault. He sweeps over the bar like a hurdler over the sticks. There Is none of the extreme effort while in mid-air. Like the swing of a master golfer or the crash of Babe Ruth’s or Hornsby’s bat it is a matter of timing and the maximum effort applied at the proper moment. It is the secret of most athletic success —proper timing, coordination of muscles —equilibrium. * * • Although Butler lost Friday night to Wisconsin the local collegians still hold the edge over the Badgers. The count stands three victories for Butler and two for Wisconsin, despite the report from Madison that Meanwell’s team has won three. * * • rrrriELL, it looks as though VU Helen Wills and Suzanne Lenglen are going to meet. The whole world is interested. Undoubtedly they are the two greatest women tennis players. Both are entered in the Carlton tourney at Cannes next week. If they win their matches they will meet a week from Sunday. Promoters of the tourney have “seeded” the draw so that Helen is in one bracket and Suzanne In the other. Most critics favor the Frenchwoman, but sentiment on the Ribera has swung to the American champion. And this very thing may upset Mile. Lenglen, who always has been known for her temperamental ways. Mademoiselle may think too much about the match and try too hard. Suzanne Is not as young as Helen. Even now, some say she is not the flash of old, but she Is crafty with the - * wisdom of much experience/ and the strength of her forearm is that of a man. Mile. Lenglen no longer plays in all the meets and she has made it a practice lately not to enter tourneys in sucessive weeks. She is breaking this rule to enter the Carlton play. Miss Wills according to reports has been improving steadily and her drives may make things uncomfortable for Suzanne. But the French girl will beat herself if she is beaten and it will be largely peyHrhological—that, and the wear and iear of many years of tennis. • • * SHE Barbasol bowling team In the Central League went wild Friday night with scores of 1,010, 1,102 and 1,013. That’s a grand total of 3,125 — enough to win most any kind of a tourney. The individual scores were as follows: Meyer, 207, 246 and 225; Nelson, 183, 215 and 219; Westover, 217, 233 and 202; Blue, 181, 203 and 179; Harkenrider, 222, 205 and 188. Meyer and Westover were the big guns. The average a game for the five individuals was 208 pins. That score is something for other local squads to think about on the night before the city tournament opens at the Central alleys. \ ... Houben, the German sprinter, is to sail back home on Feb. 11. according to press dispatches from New York. He will not take any medals with him. He came, he saw flying heels, and so It is needless to say he did NOT conquer. • • • Have yon seen the exact replica of every basketball referee which stands out in front of a W. Washington St. moving picture house? The figure is lifesize and very complete in ail details. Who does he represent? We almost forgot.. It is Jesse James himself, in all his glory. • * * S l-- ’" OME of these nights the draperies around the Iron basket are going to-get so hot they’ll burn up. The high school youths are finding the range these February nights and warming the meshes to a point of conflagration. Forty points don’t mean a thing in some games. In Friday night’s feature Frankfort got 44 points, but was defeated by Kokomo, which swished 60 points. Martinsville warmed the net for a total of 64 points against Shslbyville. Look at some of these scores— Marlon got 40 and Logansport the •same number. Columbus rang up 41, Connersville 50, Rochester 44, Lebanon 43, Emerson of Gar# 45. And there were plenty of others. Really the only tight defensive tilt of the night was Bedford’s victory over Bloomington. 21 to 17, in overtime. The scorers have to he fast with the pencil in Indiana basketball.

HAYMAKERS THAT MADE HISTORY

By Joe Williams KEA Service Writer IANCHO1 ANCHO VILLA didn’t deal In Individual haymakers; . he bartered in wholesale quantities and he seldom was cheated In a trade. You never spoke of Pancho's punch—you gibbered in high, hysterical notes o£ “Pancho’s punches.” The Golden Atom, flyweight champion, who died “in office” in San Francisco last summer from complications arising from an ulcerated tooth, was one of the most savage, whirlwind types of fighters the modern game has known. It was rthls rushing, constantly battering style that won the brownskinned Filipino the flyweight championship of the world from Johnny Buff, American, at Ebbetts Brooklyn, Sept. 14, 1922. J Starting at the opening gong. Villa pounced upon Buff with such a shower of left and rigfct hooka the champion was bewildered. Buff had no defense (for such an attacker. Villa responded to each lead by Buff with five blows of his own, beating a tattoo on Johnny's face and body like cold November rain slapping on a tavern roof. As the fight wore on Buff began swinging wild and Villa’s confidence grew. His speed of hand and foot was so great he made you think of DELANEY BEATS RISKO Bridgeport Battler Takes Nine of Ten Rounds. Bu United Press NEW'YORK, Feb. 6.—Jack Delaney. Bridgeport light heavyweight, won a ten-round point decision from Johnny Risko, Cleveland. Delaney, who won nine rounds, had Risko in distress several timeh, but the Cleveland youth was aggressive all the way. _ Chick Suggs, Boston bantam, won a ten-round decision from Abe Goldstein, former champion.

BABE RUTH AS DUFFER / Baseball Slugger Takes 100 Strokes To Cover Golf Course. B i/ United Press ST. PETERSBURG. Fla., Feb. 6 —“What do you expect of a guy that hasn’t had a club In his hands for three months?” Babe Rath, home run king of baseball, said, Friday when friends were razzing him about the 100 score he turned in after his first trip around a local golf course. He had a 49 going out and. a El coming in and exhibited hooks and slices th%t seldom had been seen here before. | EASY VICTOR Suzanne Wins Tennis Tourney at Nice. Bu United Press NICE, France, Feb. 6.—Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, French tennis star, won the Nice singles championship today when she defeated Miss Emily Wright in* two love sets in the final match. Helen Wills, American champion, did not compete in the Nice singles. BADGERS WIN Butler Fails to Find Basket at Wisconsin. Bu Tkites Special MAT) I SON, Wis., Feb. 6.—Butler basketball team of Indianapolis could not find the hoop here Friday night and was defeated by Wisconsin, 31 to 24. The first half ended 13 to 12 In favor of the Badgers, but the winners increased the margin in the final period when Andrews and Behr got “hot.” The Hoosiers made only six field goals. Wakefield got two, Chadd two, Nipper and Harker, one each. Butler made twelve points from the foul line. For Wisconsin Andrews and Behr starred with five field goals each. Merkle and Barnum of Wisconsin and Chadd of Butler left the game on personal fouls. New Pitcher for Bush’s Tribe Pitcher Arthur Reynolds, signed by Ownie Bush’s Indians, Friday night, was recommended by Catchers Stanage and C&sey, former big leaguers. Casey caught for Indianapolis a number of years ago. Reynolds was the star twlrler for Georgetown University (Washington) in 1922. In 1923 and ’24 he played with Toronto. He won ele% en games and lost four in 1923 and won ten and lost five In 1924. The young twirler hurt his throwing arm early in 1925 and retired to study law. He became a free agent and later pitched in the Twilight League around Boston, where Tom Whelan, former Indian, performed last season. Reynolds is a right-handed curve ball hurler. Vice President *W.

fusion there suddenly darted a lithe brown right glove that crashed squarely Into Buff’s jaw. The champion staggered half way across the ring. Villa was after him like a cat after a mouse. Both hands swinging, he rocked Buff from side to side with a fusillade of blows. A stray right connected with Johnny’s Jaw and he toppled to his hands and knees. Buff, badly muddled, made his first serious mistake of the fight at this point. Without waiting for the count to give him a chance to round up some widely scattered wits, he staggered back to his feet and tried to slug with Villa. A blurred flurry —and spectators had their second glimpse of Buff skidding to the canvas, his nose neatly dividing the resin for several inches. As the champion lay squirming on the floor, with Referee Patsy Haley slowly chanting him out, the bell tinkled, saving Buff from a certain knockout. Buff’s seconds did what they could with him during the breathing spell, but Johnny came out for the eleventh still out on Jiis feot. Villa met him with a storm of lefts and rights, buffeting the groggy champion like a reed in a storm. Buff finally dropped his hands hopelessly and at that moment a towel sailed Into the ring.
