Talking! It OVER ~ * WITH JOE WILLIAMS J NEW YORK, Jan. 13.—1 t is not surprising to learn by special courier from them thar hills in the far West that Jack Kearns has reconsidered a previously announced determination to put the business of professional golf on a fancier and
more fluent basis. The first inkling that Kearns was contemplating deserting the busted beaks for the embattled bunkers came in a loose rumor that he had arranged to convert George Von Elm, the amateur, to the chaste cause of professionalism and tour the country with him meeting

all comers at green-side weights. I Mr. Kearns failed to get past the first hole with the idea. To begin with, Vcn Elm balked. It appears he mereiy was jesting. But Mr. Kearns has been jested by better jesters than Van Elm and besides be is not the only amteur golfer in \ie world. B tt tt The tact is, Kearns discarded lie idea almost as soon as he formed it. Gcif, he learned, much to his grief, is not productive of great financial returns, and while Kearns is a public spirited citizen, keenly sensitive to the finer things in life, he must have that old gravy. a a a WHEN he had Dempsey the smallest check he ever got for a championship production was $27,500, plus $6,000 in motion picture money. This was lor the fight against Willard, a fight that lasted nine minutes. No golf championship has drawn within 50 per cent of this amount since the policy of charging admission was started in 1922. Mr. Kearns naturally is not going to waste his genius on a clammy proposition yielding such scant returns and it may be set down as official and authentic that Scotia’s ancient pastime will have to worry along without him. Mr. Kearns was shocked to learn that the record gate for golf in America is only $1,078. This was established by the professionals in their open championship at Chicago in 1922. a a a “That’s no business for a fellow who can talk in millions,” declares Mr. Kearns. _ a a a THE highest amateur gate Is $11,673, set at BaJtusrol two years ago when Jones and Von Elm went to the finals. The top women’s gate is $2,123. This was recorded at St. Louis in 1925 when Glenna Collett and Alexa Sterling performed in the windup. I am told by Tom McMahon, secretary of the United States Golf Association, that the total amount of monies taken in at all the paid since 1922, including the Walker Cup matches at Garden City in 1924. is $124,145. of which sum, $77,897 still remains in the association strong box, in case you happen to feel like writing in and borrowing a couple of bucks. Aside from showing why Kearns to stick to his original trade, the figures are interesting in that they indicate the customers would rather pay money to see the professionals play than the amateurs despite the fact that some of the greatest players in the game are amateurs. In this respect golf does not seem to differ greatly from some of our other sports. In six championships the professionals outdrew the amateurs by a margin of $10,333. a a a This difference is probably explained by the presence of Robert Tyre Jones who competes in the professional as well as the amateur. He is easily the greatest gate attraction in golf.

Stove League Chatter BY EDDIE ASH—
Manager bruno betzel of the Indians came over from his Celina, Ohio, home late Tuesday and was busy today holding conferences with Owner Perry and Secretary Clauer. They discussed training plans and put some more strings out for new talent of known quality with which to bolster the Indianapolis A. A. pastiming outfit. Trainer Jim Pierce will be the first member of the Tribe party to go South and he will depart for the Plant City camp Feb. 11 to get things in shape. The pitchers and catchers will leave the North Feb. 25 and start tossing the “apple” In the strawberry city, Feb. 25. Betzel’s main squad will leave here March 3 and the first “all present” drill will be held in the Plant City park March 5. The Indians trained in Plant City in 1924 and 1925 under Ownie Bush. Since then a modem hotel has been erected there and the 1928 Tribesmen are looking forward to improved accommodations. Plant City is a quiet little city on the Dixie highway and if the weather is of the right kind the pastimers can not help from getting in shape. GRANTING that the owners of the New York Giants were telling the truth when they said they traded Rogers Hornsby to Boston only for the purpose of avoiding future conflict in the management of the club, it still looks like a peculiar way of visiting discipline on a pretender to McGraw’s throne and also a costly one. Hornsby’s case is not the only one where a great star caused family troubles within a baseball club, but it is one of a few that can be called to mind where the management had to cripple itself to restore harmony. a a a It was no secret for years that Ty Cobb was not idolized by the players on the Detroit club and it was the conviction of any number of smart baseball men that the chances of the Tigers to get into the world’s series were reduced when Cobb assumed the management. a a a COBB, however, remained as the prize member of the Detroit club until circumstances over which the owners had not control made necessary his release. Cobb, it must be remembered, was a Detroit institution and he was a tremendous drawing card. Hornsby was not a drawing card in New York.
Jan. 6. In order to be awarded a forfeit in the event Beech Grove will be unable to compete in the meet Action will be forced to take the floor ready for an opponent. The forfeit then will be awarded Acton when the opposing team fails to take the floor at the scheduled time. The score of a forfeited contest is 2 to 0. A parade through the downtown district at noon Friday will provide one of the features of the event. University Park has been chosen as the starting point for the procession which will be led by the newsboys’ band. From there, the participants of the parade will proceed east on Vermont St. to Delaware St., south on Delaware St. to Washington St.; west on Washington St. to Meridian St., to be greeted on the Circle by Mayor L. Ert Slack and Dick Miller, president of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. Clark to Present Cup George (Potsy) Clark, Butler University athletic director, will present the cup to the winning team at the Circle Theater Saturday night.

Bobbie Monroe
Saturday night, at the Riverside roller rink, Bobbie Monroe, local speeder and holder of the Indiana two-mile amateur record, will meet Ralph Hermling of Cincinnati at that distance. Hermling is said to be the Ohio and Kentucky title holder at the two-mile distance. Local roller enthusiasts are all ‘het up” over Saturday’s contest and are backing Monroe to beat the Queen City flash.
Rogers not only lacked the fire and color of Cobb, but he happened to be in a city where the worship of baseball players is not a popular demonstration of devotion and in a city where all the fever is saved for Babe .ftuth and Lou Gehrig. a a a Attention also might be called to the fact that New York is a great gambling town and no matter how hard you try to put it more delicately, Hornsby joined the class of what the gambling element calls “welchers” when he pleaded his way out of a suit on the grounds that his debts could not be collected legally. a a a THE Boston angle is not as important as it has been made. The relations between the owners of the Giants and the Braves have been investigated a number of times and no evidence of a syndicate was found. a. a a It Is understood the Giants did offer Hornsby to the Chicago and Cincinnati clubs, but the Reds were asked to turn over Critz and Luque and the Cubs wouldn’t have met the New York terms without transferring Charley Root as one of the players.

Announcement that Joe Packo, Toledo, would battle Red Uhlan, California, in the main go of next Tuesday night's fistic show was greeted with noisy applause at the Armory last night.

By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 18.— Indiana University’s basketball team is preparing for a defensive game when the “Fighting Illini” from Champaign come to Bloomington Saturday, night. Coach Everett Dean has a huge task at hand in encountering the Ruby quintet. Illinois is conceded to be a better defensive than offensive team. Dorn and Captain Olson are veteran men at forward with Short holding down center. Solyom, the tall back guard, and Mills, floor guard, are two of the best guards in the Big Ten. Mills is also an accurate shot. While the basketball team is playing Illinois here, Indiana’s indoor track team will be facing Chicago at Chicago. Indiana’s wrestling team "s in the best shape of the season for its intersectional meet with the University of West Virginia here Friday night.
