Talking It OVER

- WITH JOE WILLIAMS NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—The greatest middle distance runner in this country today is a gawky looking clod hopper from the wide, rambling stretches of Nebraska, Lloyd Hahn by name, a

Boston clerk, 30 years old. He can do a mile faster than your old frier.d Lindy can heal a heal a diplomatic breach. Next month, he’ll probably go against Dr. Otto Peltzer, the touring German in the year’s greatest foot race, here in Madison Square Garden My favorite, middle;

distance runner has always been Joic Ray. Possibly, because he was hard boiled. Ray had more color than an old-time Bowery black eye. It was hard to distinguish his ambition from his arrogance, or his confidence from his conceit. Besides he could pick up those puppies and put them down with plenty of speed. Taking him by and large he was an interesting specimen. 11 st a Asa runner Hahn Is better than Ray ever was. But as a personality he is as drab and cold as a surgical report. All he has is a great pair, of feet. But some people want that old personal magnetism, and this is not easy to find in a pair of feet. ana HAHN is one of those mechanical men of sports. You wind him up and off he goes, clicking away with a precise, steady movement that carries him to his goal without effort or incident. Tommy Gibbons was that sort of fighter, and it wasn't until he was an old man and about through that anybody took him seriously. Ball players will tell you Herb Pennock is as capable a lefthander as Rube Waddell ever dared to be. The Rube has been dead for years. His big league clays ended twenty years ago. Yet his memory still lives. Pennock will be speedily forgotten. There’s nothing circusy about Pennock. He’s just a great pitcher. He never stayed up all night chasing fire engines; he never sent the outfield and the infield to the bench jwhile he pitched a solo inning to Retire the side; he never, in short, did anything that lifted him above the daily routine of cold, perfect efficiency. a a\ n AH this makes a difference. Just why is not simple to say. Crowd psychology, like chop suey formulae, is difficult of anaylsis. a a u STILL, Hahn for all his austerity and lack of color has an interesting background and even if he never commands one of those Ruthian followings in track circles he will always stand out as an extraordinary figure. He was a dash man in high school, where he ran the hundred in 10 2-5 seconds. One year, 1913 he won an interscholastic championship for his school single handed. The lone entrant, he finished first in four events. * The following year he quit competition and was idle for four years. In 1923 he moved to Boston. The lure of tjje track crept back into his legs and he joined the Boston A. A. to train under Jack Ryder. Ryder watched him run in the dashes and decided he was made lor the middle distances. “From now on you run in the mile,” Ryder ordered. Hahn’s first start was at Worcester, Mass., against Ray. He had a twenty-yard start over the Chicago taxi cab driver. Hahn won by ten yards. He was the first American to beat Ray in a stretch finish. a a a The third time Hahn ran the mile he won the junior National A. A. IT. title at Chicago in the great time of 4 minutes and 23 'seconds. Since then he has been one of the game’s most remarkable milers. Last winter he created an international sensation by winning from Edwin Wide, the Swede. a a tt HAHN outsmarted Wide. He “Jumped” him at an unlooked for moment. Wide, caught by surprise, lost his stride and before he could recover Hahn was five yards in front. This was on the second to last lap. Hahn held the advantage to the end. Hahn is a freak of the track. He has no form. He runs with arms held high and with an upward, awkward knee action that is contrary to all accepted doctrines of the sport. It is a cross between a springing and a running style. Ryder was once asked why he didn’t try to teach Hahn how to run properly. “If I did I would ruin him,” he answered. “He's a great runner because he runs naturally.” ATHERTON BOXES DRAW Happy and Lencho Re-Matched— Pruitt Stops Nacho.

Three of the five games involving city squads will be played on home courts. Frankfort and Technical clash at the Armory, Martinsville will be at Washington, while Boys’ Prep and Cathedral mix at the Irish gym. Shortridge goes to Seymour, while Manual moves to Fort Wayne for a tilt with Central. Os the six capital city quintets to see action Friday night, only Cathedral managed to turn in a victory, the Irish toppling Shelbyville Gatholic, 27 to 17. Martinsville's defense proved too stiff for Technical and the Camp-bell-coached crew went down to a 30-to-19 defeat. Lockhart was best for the State champs, while Parrish starred for the Technites. Rally Too Late Shortridge’s rally started too late and Tipton eked out a 40 to 38 triumph over the local aggregation. Tipton was leading, 26 to 15, at the half and the Blue s drive in the final session pulled the locals close to the visitors. Roberts and Orr led the Blue scoring. Simpson was best for Tipton. Manual’s hard-fighting club lacked power and Bluffton took an easy victory, 58 to 25. The South Siders trailed at the half, 30 to 15. Burris was best for Manual while Croselvie played best for the winners. Ripple Nosed Out * Lizton, nosed out Broad Ripple, 34 to 33, in a gruelling battle at Lizton. The winners were ahead at the half, 17 to 15, and the game was close all the way. Hitchcock and White shared scoring honors for the Rippleites while Bowman led the winners. Yorktown’s flashy quintet slipped into an w,riy lead over Boys’ Prep and nabbed a 45 to 18 victory from the Riversiders. Yorktown was ahead, 18 to 6 at the half. Donovan was outstanding for the visitors. Wiggins and Pinkus played well for Prep. Summaries: Shelbyville (17). Cathedral (27).

Semi-Finals at Armory This Mjorning, Finals in Afternoon. FEATURES OF FRIDAY Oaklandon Five Advances to Title Fray. NEW BETHEL OUT Oaklandon advanced to the finel round of the Marion County tourney today by defeating New Bethel, 15 to 12, in the first semi-final game. The “Oaks” will meet the winner of the Southport-Ben Davis game for the champioinship. Ten of New Bethel's points were accounted for from the foul stripe. The final game will be broadcast from WFBM, I. P. and L station, at 3 o’clock. The final round of the annual Marion County basketball tournament being staged at the Armory was to be played this afternoon. Four clubs survived Friday’s play and New Bethel and * Oaklandon met in the first semi-final game today. Ben Davis and Southport met in the second semi-final battle. The final game was to be played this afternoon. All four clubs boasted flashy aggregations and hopes were high in each of their respective followings for the capture of the tourney honors. Eleven quintets swung into play Tuesday, the twelfth. Beech Grove, being forced to forfeit to Acton because of a suspension placed on the Beech Grove school until June 1. 1928, by the board of control of the I. H. S. A. A. Central Is Upset One of the surprises of the meet came early when the powerful Ben Davis club downed one of the popular favorites, Warren Central, in the opening game of the tourney, 27 to 25. Valley Mills exhibited a flashy attack in downing West Newton, 36 to 10, in a first-round clash and Southport’s one-sided victory over Castleton, 43 to 10, enhanced the “port” team’s chances. Oaklandon and Lawrence, both from Lawrence Township, put up a great battle, the Oaks beating out them rivals, 24 to 16. New Bethel staged a thrilling second-half rally which gave it a 26-to-24 triumph over New Augusta. Ben Davis experienced little trouble knocking off Acton in a secondround game, 42 to 23 : while Southport also experienced slight difficulty in advancing to the semi-finals with a 43-to-22 win over Valley Mills.

Off the *■ I Backboard *—By Norman E. Isaacs —

PLENTY of speed was unleashed by the high schoolers last night and thrills galore were handed out to the multitude of fans who crowded into gyms throughout the State. Logansport and Muncie staged a little nip-and-tuck affair all their own, the Berries winning out, 32 to 30. The Berries were ahead, 17 to 15, at the half, and the game kept swaying first one way. then .the other. It was a real battle. Bedford snapped into It and jolted Greencastle with a 53 to 38 lacing. Frankfort outpointed Jefferson of Lafayette, 26 to 20, without nay apparent exertion. m . tt tt Anderson’s Indians kept up ’ their winning ways and trouced Lebanon, 61 to 29. Staggs has a sweet ball club this season, tall, rangy and aggressive. tt n n EVERY school has its “wolves” and from what we heard last light Shortridge is no exception. We don’t mind the folks who express their opinions after the game, but these half-grown “drug store cowboys” who stand around the galery calling the officials "robbers” and “Jesse James” should be spanked by their dads. Shortridge need not feel that we are trying to be insulting. Among our list of very good friends we include Simon P. Roache, Russell Julius, Enoch Burton and Lon Goldsberry of the Shortridge coaching staff, and we know of no better sportsmen any place. 'Every school, as we have said before, has its share of the “wolves.” THURSDAY Off The Backboard took a slam at several of Indianapolis’ amateur quintets who, it has been alleged, have not been playing on the “up and up,” and have resorted to unsportsmanlike tricks in the effort to win. We have at hand Grantland Rice's “Ten Commandments of a Good Sport,” and it wouldn’t be half bad idea to take a squint at the line-up. Rice is one of the outstanding sports writers in the world and knows the whys and wherefores of sport. Here’s the “commandments”: 1. Thou shalt not quit. 2. Thop shalt not alibi. 3. Thou shalt not gloat over winning. 4. Thou shalt not be a rotten loser. 5. Thou shalt not take unfair advantage. 6. Thou shalt not ask odds thou are not willing to give. 7. Thou shalt not always be ready to give thine opponents the shade. 8. Thou shalt not underestimate any opponent nor overestimate thyself. 9. Remember the game Is the thing and that he who thinketh otherwise is a slacker and not a true sportsman. 10. Honor the game thou plavest for he who playest the game straight and hard, wlnneth even when he loseth. HOW ABOUT THIS? ONE of the queerest games of the season was staged recently at Clay City, Brazil providing the opposition for the home club The score at the half showed Brazil leading, 7 to B—and that was the final count! Brazil went into a stall at the outset of the second half, members of both teams sat on the floor and took it easy a,nd many of the fans left the gym before the gun ended the agony. a a a “Eldy Kyle starred for Goshen, despite leaving the game in the last few minutes on personals. He was at both ends of the floor at all times.”—Goshen Democrat account of Goshen-Nappanee game. THE MAIL TODAY Beech Grove, Ind.

‘Ace’ Defeats LewTendler by Decision Hudkins Past First Barpier on Route to Title Encounter. BY FRANK GETTY United Pres* Sport* Editor NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—Ace Hudkins of Nebraska is safely past the first milestone on his arduous Journey to the welterweight championship, but unless the Wildcat shows a lot more class than he did in outpointing Lew Tendler, veteran Philadelphian, here Friday night, he can not hope to supplant Joe Dundee of Baltimore at the top of the 147-pound division. Hudkins won his fight handily, but in failing to stop Tendler, who has been milling about in local rings since 1913, Ace showed a woeful lack of championship class. Tendler, selected as a trial horse for Hudkins’ second venture up the shaky ladder which leads to titles, fame and dollars, stood off the furious rushes of his younger and stronger opponent, and at the finish was easily holding his own. The only knockdown of the bout came in the seventh round when a roundhouse right clipped Tendler on the chin and sent him to his knees. Lew was dazed, but when he arose the Wildcat had no idea of how to finish him. The Nebraskan, whose previous venture into the East ended in a speedy knockout at the hands of Sergeant Sammy Baker, has been matched with the tough young aviator from Mitchell field early in February. On the coast, last year, Hudkins succeeded in outpointing Sammy, and the supposition is that he will do so again and go on to a title light with Dundee. On his showing against Tendler the Nebraskan would stand small chance of knocking but the champion, and certainly he could not outpoint Joe. Tendler bore up under a lot of body punishment, and took the Wildcat’s hardest swings to face and jaw without giving way.. Ace won eight rounds with the other two even. FiGHT MOVIES HERE !
