Talking It OVER WITH JOE WILLIAMS ■p, TEW YORK, Jan. 16.—With char-!-M acteristic diffidence and rer n've, Mr. Gene Tunney, in ccm-r-.enting on recent record-breaking f.ght crowds, has sponsored an open-face insinuation that the attending customers were lured large-

ly by his social graces and intellectual splendors. Or, in more jagged words, Mr. Tunney has taken the stand that it was he who filled the pews at Philadelphia, “because a great many people wanted to see Dempsey beaten,” and it was he who filled them again at Chicago, “because they wanted to see him

rrove the first victory was not a fluke.” This sentiment Is slightly at odds with a popular belief that Dempsey because of his color, primitive savagery and willingness to gamble on being knocked out in order to score a knockout himself is, or was, the greatest gate attraction in the history of all sports. tt tt * MR. TUNNEY will get a chance to prove whether he or the critics who disagree with him on this vitally important matter are right this summer. He says he is going to fight twice. One of his opponents will be Dempsey. This fight will certainly be a sell-out. There will be no way to prove definitely whether Tunney or Dempsey created the maximum interest. It ought to be different in the other fight. Tunney will be called on to meet one of those run-of-mine fighters who have been amusing the town loiterers by their awkward antics in Tex Rickard’s never-end-ing elimination tournament. It will be one of the Sharkeys, Heeneys, Paolinos or Riskos, and I have a feeling that the public at large is not going to become unduly hysterical over the bout. tt tt tt THE Sharkey-Heeney fight here last week provided a definite tip-off on the mediocrity of the men who are currently aspiring to be heavyweight champions. On a basis of comparative performance these two logically ranked at the top of the contending list. Where they rank now depends upon your sense of humor. Neither showed anything to encourage the belief that they are potential champions. If you were to match Tunney with either Sharkey or Heeney tomorrow for an early fight I doubt seriously if the total receipts would go as high as $500,000; and more than half of this, I veriUire, would be contributed by the curious that inevitably throng heavyweight championships. tt m tt OP course one might argue that it is no fault of Tunney’s that he must meet such nondescripts as the Sharkeys or Heeneys in his other fight, a fact that promises so little competition that it is only natural that interest should suffer. Something more than the promise of keen competition is going to fill the Yankee Stadium when Dempsey crawls through the ropes. Dempsey was outclassed at Philadelphia, and, except for that seventh round explosion, was outclassed at Chicago. Nor is there any reason to believe he won’t be outclassed again. Dempsey just happens to be one of the "It” boys of sports. He’s got something that all the Sharkeys and Heeneys in the world lack. If Tunney doesn’t realize it now he will, I fear, the first time he steps into the ring against somebody else and allows his eyes to rove over the wide open spaces.

Off the * I Backboard *—By Norman E. Isaacs — t 16- M- ■ . . -.■=! TWO very refined and intelligent gentlemen dropped into the office this morning bearing the information that the East Tenth M. E. Church team had defeated the Fletcher Trust basketball five, 34 to 26, in a “terrific” battle at the east side community house Friday night. The two gents who introduce themselves as Messrs. E. Berhart and Huck Berry had formulated a sarcastic little yam on the contest and which we were requested to publish. It was referred to the board of directors, passed unanimously and is herewith reprinted: AS SHE IS PLAYED The game of net shinny engaged In Friday night between the East Tenth M. E. hurch and the Fletcher Trust teams was Indeed worth the price of admission. The preliminary skirmishes were very entertaining to the innocent bystanders, as the Deacons, before trotting out on the hardwood, offered up incense and myrrh (whatever that is) to their “Hoop-Allah'’ (pronounced hoop-lai, while the Fletcher nickel pushers astounded the vast throng of sixty spectators by giving their adding machine drill, which has taken All-State honors for the past three weeks. The Deacons wore their prayer pads, which thev found very efficient in retarding the peeling of c'xposed knees, while the Fletcher outfit appeared In new regalia crowned by life-size bank cage helmets, each bearing a name plate, the back guard's being Inscribed ''Private." It was presumed he was related to one of the officials at the bank. This is Ping-Pong! They lined up for the whistle and with much gnashing of teeth and filing of nails commenced. The longest and most solemn looking Deke speared a two-base hit lust back of left tackle and heaved it heavenward, speeding it true to the basket, and the rafters resounded with cheers for the Deacons—first blood! The nickel grabbers immediately fell Into' a huddle and a quick change was made in the back guard's nameplate to ''Semi-Private,” and they again fined up to the tune of “Onward Christian Soldiers,” as rendered by the Deacon rooters, while the bankers’ division countered with their famous bank yell. As the referee again tossed up the ball, the two centers launched their bodies in the air, clawing frantically for possession of the ball, and in the mlxup which folio I wed one of the check protectors from the bank received an uppercut which slid under his cage, and time was taken out-to restore his vision. Due to either the superior ability of the Dekes or the weight of the diving apparatus of the adding machine squad, the Parsons were having the best of it up to this time. A Real Decision The Bankers, in another huddle, decided to take the matter up with the chairman of the board who would see. that the Proper scores were registered and credited with interest compounded semi-annually. The game seesawed for a time until the weight of the money bags began to tell and the Trustys went into the lead by on ?-, r H n> wdion margin was maintained until the closing hour of the market, only one point above par. The Dekes’ choir at this time with a sudden Inspiration began to, sing “He Arose.” and. revived by this valiant support, a two-pointer was made by their upper-cutting center, and the Dekes again were out in front. In an unbiased summary of the game, H le hiedals should be given three outstanding players. These three were found standing far out of all the scrambles in safety zones, especially marked off for that This trio. Jim Wycoff, Bill Randall and Charlie Clark of the winning team were splendid examples of caution as required by the Bankers Association. it tt THE Old Settler snapped out of it this morning and dished out this little endeavor on the Short-ridge-Martinsville game.

Blaze Basket Trail at New Washington High School

Upper left, Paul Brown, center; upper right, Emerson Carter, forward; center left, Thomas Winzenreed, forward; lower left, Milford Stevenson, backguard; lower right, Stewart McFall, floorguard. This group of energetic cagers can be likened to the pioneers of old. They are blazing a trail for future Washington High School teams to follow. As representatives of Indianapolis’ new west side high school they are conducting themselves with credit on the hardwood court. One of the outstanding surprises in this section recently was the upset of Warren Central by Washington, 27 to 26, after the Centralites had won ten consecutive games. Rowland H. Jones, former Butler star and ex-Manual coach, is tutoring the westsiders. They are preparing for their game next Saturday with Martinsville at the Washington gym.

Tech Grabs City H. S. Net Crown; Artesians Drop Blue in Hard Battle “Cathedral Defeats Beech Grove; Prep Beats Ohio Military; Crispus Wins as Washington Loses.

Technical High School's crafty crew of net-snipers took possession of the city public high school hardwood championship by downing Manual at the Armory Saturday night, 38 to 18. Although several city series games are yet to be played the Techites’ three victories and no defeats clinch the toga. Shortridge gave Martinsville a hard battle on the Blue and White’s floor Saturday and the Artesians emerged victorious, 40 to 29. Other games involving Indianapolis quintets resulted in triumphs for Cathedral, Boys’ Prep and Crispus Attucks. while Washington, was defeated, Manual put up a stiff battle during the early portion of its fray with the east siders, and the wearers of the Green were ahead, 17 to 9, at Muncie Captures College Tourney By United Press MUNCIE, Ind., Jan. 16.—Muncie Normal’s Cardinals ran true to form in the first annual intercollegiate basketball tournament here, romping away from all opposition to win the cup. , In the finals here Saturday night, the Cardinals scored an easy victory over Manchester College, 39 to 25. The victory was largely attributable to Capt. Moulten Fulmer, who scored fourteen points and was awarded the large silver basketball donated by Ball Teachers’ College to the best all-round tourney player. - In the semi-finals Muncie defeated Huntington College, 33 to 20, and Manchester drubbed Indiana Central, 53 to 33. first five minutes Kid' Shortridge did all the leading and backed his titled opponent all over the ring, sending in a number of hard socks that counted for points. Then, instructions from the Martinsville corner caused the champ 'o change tactics and the tltleholder began stacking up points that soon overcame Shortridge'; lead in the early rounds. It was a dandy scrap and at no time was either battler in distress. No title was at stake, as neither contestant made weight for the fight. A return match lias been asked for by the local favorite, and it is hoped arrangements will be made for the two to meet in Promoter Trester's big arena at Indianapolis some time in March. It was announced that next week’s card would feature Kid Shortridge vs. Battling Tipton in the main event. The Times' decision; " Martinsville, 40; Shortridge, 29. n n n ? ?

The Artensians opened up with a brilliant short-passing attack in the second half and ran up a long lead.

COMMISSIONER LANDIS has put h his offeial O. K. on the Hornsby transaction, and that’s that. But the news hounds will continue to dig around trying to learn why Rogers was traded for two obscure pastimers. And if the deal is on the level, as Landis indicates, watch out for some fisticuffs next summer when Braves and Giants meet. In the meantime the [New York pitchers are wondering what they will throw Hornsby to prevent being knocked down by line drives off his bat. Long-distance guessing: Hornsby to succeed Jack Slattery as Boston manager some time this season or in ’29.
