Talking it OVER WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—1 see by the papers that your Uncle Wilbert Robinson, who performed one of the miracles of the age a year ago by playing through an entire major league baseball schedule without the faintest semblance of an infield, is allowing himself to be rated as one of the 1923 contenders. From the languorous lowlands of Georgia, where the Brooklyn manager spends the winter months trail-

ing the piquant Juniper berry to its native lair, he has let it be publicly known that he “expects to be up there next season.” I would not be tempted to attach any particular significance to the remark if it were not for the fact that 1928 happens to be what is technically termed a

Williams

presidential year, and baseball history shows that your “Uncle Wilbert,” somehow or other, is always “up there” on such occasions. Everybody* is more or less familiar with the strange details. He took over the ball club in 1914. Two years later he won with Wilson. The country’s slogan that year was “Thank God for Wilson; he kept us out of war.” . The Flatbush slogan was “‘Thank God for Uncle Wilbert; he kept us out of last place.” FOUR years later he won with Harding, executing a complete and somewhat bewildering shift from the rugged principles of democracy to the roseate promises of the G. O. P. He later explained that he had been led to believe that G. O. P. stood for “Grand Old Pennant” and this was what he was principally interested in. The next presidential year was 1924, and once more Uncle Wilbert shook off that spirit of lethargy and indifference that makes him and his ball clubs obscure factors at all other times and started swinging an independent bat with virtually no reservations. He was in the fight until the last week, when the Giants beat him home by a game and a half. The closeness of the race foretold the character of the Coolidge administration which in certain matters of finance has been so economically severe as to be either tight or close or both. To Uncle Wilbert’s credit it must he admitted he registered no squawk. * * * Beyond a delicately phrasedinsinuation that the umpires had robbed him of no fewer than seven games and that the sinister influence of the StonehamMcGraw combine had exerted a deleterious effect on the morals of some of the opposing clubs, be maintained a graceful silence. Uncle Wilbert Is like that. AND now comes 1928 and another free-for-all dash for the White House, and with it, please note, the advance warning from Uncle Wilbert that he expects to be “up there.” Your first impulse is to ask, “On What?” He finished the race last year with a pitching staff. To this, he has added the veteran, Bancroft, and some rookies. This hardly seems enough.

-OFF the 4%'' BACKBOARD^ By NORMAN E. ISAACS

HOOSIERDOM’S seven hundred and some high school basketball teams are swinging into the home stretch and coaches are busy polishing up the flaws in teamwork and preparing their squads for the annual State tournaments. March 2 and 3 isn’t very far away and Indiana's mob of cage enthusiasts are getting more and more restless as the days fly by. Off Tire Backboard, roaming around the State, sizing up the best of Indiana’s high school teams, is on the verge of announcing his annual selection for the team he believes will win the 1928 crown. Right now ihere are a dozen or more “big-time” teams capable of putting up splendid scraps for the State crown. Off hand, we can recite eight quickly. They are: Martinsville, Logansport, Anderson, Washington of East Chicago, Columbus, Bainbridge, Muncie and Frankfort. * n * LAST week-end we dropped in on the Logansport-Anderson tussle at Anderson and saw Alva Staggs’ Indians stage a wonderful comeback

to defeat the Berries, 37 to 34, after trailing at the half, 23 to 12. One of the outstanding players in the fracas was little Arthur Dickerson, a forward on Cliff Wells’ Logan outfit. Dickerson is one of the smallest performers on a top-notch net squad in this State. Size is little hand!cap to Art, however, and

his dribbling borders on the sensational. He plays the center of the floor and, for a small man, does wonderful work in breaking up plays coming through that portion of the court. St St u WIRE news from Bloomington Ind., indicate that next Saturday two Indiana University freshmen basketball teams will meet in a preliminary game to the IndianaKentucky tilt. The rhinies will be using the “one-bourtce” style of play, advocated by many critics. Wally Middlesworth, frosh coach at I. U., was at the “Emporium” last week and mentioned the fact he had been working his boys on that system o? play. *

Wabash Basketeers Prepare for Battle With Butler Friday

Myers 9 Record Lists Victories Over Fast Boys Few fighters in the game can boast of so impressive a record as Spug Myers, junior welterweight, who comes to the Armory Tuesday night for a ten-round scrap with Frankie Osner. Myers’ first noteworthy feat was his knockout victory over Billy Wallace. This same Wallace is now listed among outstanding contenders for the lightweight crown. Myers also defeated Joe Benjamin, Russie Leroy, Billy Bortfield, Sid Barbarian, Billy White, Mushy Callahan and others. Chicago fistic lovers have seen Myers in action many times, and his efforts to give action three minutes of every round have made him a great favorite there. His latest victim was Frankie Schaefer, whom he outpointed ten days ago in Chicago. Among boxers who hold “wins” over Myers are Ace Hudkins, Mushy Callahan and Billy Alger. Tunney Starts Training Grind By tnited Press MIAMI'BEACH, Fla., Jan. 30. Gene Tunney was to begin training today for his next heavyweight championship bout. Under the direction of Lou Fink, his trainer, Tunney was to start an active round of work, expected to condition him for the opponent Tex Rickard will pick. Billy Gibson, Tunney’s manager, Is expected Wednesday, apparently for a conference with Rickard. Tex has announced he may have “something to say about a heavyweight fight” by the end of the week. Y.

“It works pretty good,” said Wally. And that remains to be seen. u n HO HI M! “K. H.” of Broad Ripple apparently never has had a chance to read about the new Butler field house or even take a peek at it. “K. H.” in a letter to this column, says in part: “I don’t see why the I. H. S. A. A. doesn't keep on having the tournaments at the Fairground because they always make money out there and I think the Armory or the new Butler field house could not accommodate the crowds, especially for the final game.” Arthur L. Trester. permanent secretary of the I. H. S. A. A. could enlighten “K. H.’ on that money-making proposition. “A. L.” could make “K. H.” start stepping backwards by reciting some figures on expenditures, expenses and profits. We’ll just finish up the knockout by landing the punch that hands out the “info.” that the Butler field house can accommodate more than the Exposition building.

Clarence Mack displayed a real strike ball in each game of the Round Robin series at the Illinois alleys Sunday and led the field with a total of 859 on games of 201, 236. 211 and 311.

Dempsey Is Reported in Poor Shape Rumors Say Jack Never Will Fight Again; Eyes Bother Him. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 30.—Jack Dempsey, the Chicago Herald and Examiner said in a copyrighted article today, has notified Tex Rickard that his physician has ordered him never to fight again. Asa result, the article said, Rickard has abandoned hopes of a third match between Dempsey and Champion Gene Tunney. The article said Rickard had confided to friends in Florida that he believed Dempsey was just beginning to feel the effects of the beating administered to him by Tunney here last September. Dempsey’s eyes have gone back on him and his general condition is bad, the Herald and Examiner said. VAGUE DENIAL BY TEX By United Press MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Jan. 30. Tex Rickard denied today that he had received information from Jack Dempsey indicating the exheavyweight champion never would fight again because of the condition of his eyes.

the singles event MOCartv took the lead with a total of 516. The high-speed women’s teams will take the drives again next Saturday and Sunday when new leaders no doubt will appear In each event. All games are rolled at the Pritchett alleys. Twenty-nine teams rolled Saturday and Sunday, also eight doubles tnd five singles. Charlie Daw, Milwaukee, is coasting to a win over the little Italian star of Chicago, Hank Marino. In the fifth block of the sixty-game match Daw Increased his lead to 264 pins. Daw now has a total of 11,087 to Marino's 10.823. This gives Daw an average of 221 and a fraction to Marino’s, 216JS per game. Even Marino’s most ardent supporters now concede the match is "in” for Daw. Ten games remain to be played to complete the match. A score of 3.216, while not a world’s record, is shooting real ten pins from start to finish and a count that anv team may be proud of. But a total of this kind made by a team of five brothers Is, we believe, a world's record. This is the record score of the Fasan Florists of the Peterson League, Chicago. The team is composed of the five Mauge Brothers, Walter. Art. Charles. Otto and Herman. In complying this count Walter had 723 on games of 347, 322 and 354. Art had 651; Charles, 636; Otto, 620, and Herman, 600 even. “Ray” and “Bugs” are burning the-mid-night oil to make the "Bowling Blues” the biggest and best league publication in Indianapolis. We suggest that "Ray” either put the scores in the safe or get a new stenographer. “Bugs” seems to get better service from his help. Thanks, boys.

Hughie Jennings

By Times Special SCRANTON, Pa, Jan. 30 Hughie Jennings, known at one time as the world’s greatest shortstop, and until a year ago assistant manager of the New York Giants, was near death today from an attack of spinal meningitis. Jennings was given his release from the Giants a year ago when he became ill. After resting in the South, he came to Scranton to live with his sister, Mrs. J. J. O'Boyle.

Stove League Chatter BY EDDIE ASH

SOLDIER, big league pitcher and and vaudevillian. That describes Jess Petty, the affable southpaw who won twenty-nine games for Indianapolis in 1924 and nearly pitched the Indians to a pennant. Nearing the end of his vaudeville tour, Jess stopped in Indianapolis, Saturday, before moving on to Cincinnati, where he closes at the Palace theater, Feb. 5. Regarded by many as the best left-hander in the National League, Petty is “in the money now.” Ten years ago Jess “was in the army now” and fighting Germans up where the scrappin’ was thickest and doing it for thirty per month. He’ll pitch baseballs this summer for more than $2,000 per month. > TJROOKLYN paid $25,000 for Petty in 1925 and included Dutch Henry in the deal. Two years later Henry was sold for $15,000. The sale of Petty proved a profitable transaction for both the Indians and the pitcher himself. The “Silver Fox” is doing a singing act on the stage with A1 Maumaux, also a pitcher, and as Jess puts it: “Al does the singing and I make ’em laugh by just acting natural.” Speaking seriously, the popular portsider has put in a good winter. has teamed well as a warbler

SECOND division ball clubs seldom have heroes, but Petty is one in Brooklyn and fans there rewarded him at the close of the 1926 season by presenting him with a highpriced car. The Dodger rooters swear by Jess. * The stalwart hurler plans to go to Hot Springs shortly to 101 l about before reporting for spring training at Clearwater, Fla. Accustomed to spending the winter in Cuba, Petty gets a big kick out of the fact his team trains at Clearwater “And we train on it, too,” he remarked Saturday, “clear water and nothing else, ha ha!” John McGraw swallows hard when he thinks of Jess The Giants had the first chance at the star lefthander when he was with the locals, but McGraw muffed it and Brooklyn eased in and took him. The feat of being a winning pitcher with a light-hitting, errormaking team like the Dodgers has made the former Hoosier a real stand-out in major league baseball.
