Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Feb. I.—The business of being an amateur is highly complicated. Dr. Otto Peltzer, the German galloper who arrived here today to subject himself to the morbid scrutiny of that part

of the Amateur Athletic Union which is stylishly called the foreign relations committee, is beginning to find this out. When the galloper first landed here he was told he could not run at all. Later he was told he must confine his hoofing to three appearances. This

Williams

was comical enough to begin with. But when the galloper named the three meets in which he preferred to compete the amateur officials gave him a stony glare, hereby adding a newer and gaudier note to the merriment. m ' * “I hope I haven’t picked the w rong three meets,” comments the galloper, whose sense of humor seems to have developed along with the velocity of his tibia bone. a a a OF course, the galloper will be permitted to run in the three meets he has selected. • There is a limit even to the absurdities of which amateur associations are capable, all belief to the contrary, notwithstanding. Until pictured otherwise Peltzer must be acce'pted as an amateur with honorable intentions, and as such he appears entitled to a few limited courtesies anyway. It is obvious that the amateur moralists in their attitude toward Peltzer are fearful that the good man may suddenly develop an intense desire to see America by means of an unending series of overnight races after the manner made exceedingly unpopular by one Paavo Nurmi, a couple of years ago. Loud and ear-piercing were the squawks that followed the transcontinental activities of the “Flying Finn” and his business agent, one Hugo Quist, and none too delicate were the insinuations directed at the financial maneuverings of the entourage. a a a F)R that reason it apparently has been deemed necessary to exercise a more severe supervision of the exploits of visiting athletes. As Mr. “One-Eye” Connolly says the “game has been crabbed.” From now on the athletes will do not what they want to do but what they are told to do. Perhaps this is all for the best. In the case of Peltier, however, he has indicated a willingness to do as told, but for some reason even this is not acceptable. Or at least, it hasn't been so far. It is much nicer to be an amateur golfer or an amateur tenniser. Nobody tells Bobby Jones where he must play or how often when he crosses the ocean to explore the sand traps and bunkers in Scotland and England. Nor, to my knowledge, does anybody tell William Tilden II what to do and what not to do when he starts out on a season's program. The list of amateurs in all varieties of sports who might possibly be persuaded to capitalize their glamour is by no means meager. a a a On the other hand there arc the inevitable exceptions. The good Dr. Peltzer may even be one. You never can tell. And what’s more, You never will be able to tell. The amateur moralists are determined to see to that.

THE city of Crawfordsville Is primed for an upset. An upset we would have you understand, is an occasion when the big guy gets punched square on the “beezer” by the little "feller.” Such events in the world of sport are by no means rare happenings. The, aforementioned city of Crawfordsville is the home of Wabash College, where the original famous “Wonder Five,” pride of Hoosier basketball, was developed. 1 The traditions of great Little Giant basketball teams have slipped somewhat during recent years and the coaches at the Scarlet Institution are battling with medicere and average material to develop winning teams. The present season has not proved a garden of Eden for the 1927-28 hardwood representatives of Wabash. a a a ON Friday of this week Wabash will take the floor against the powerful Butler University squad of Indianapolis. The Bulldogs under the guidance of Coach Paul (Tony)

Spug just about chew’ed up the Florida scrapper by crashing in with both hands, brushing Osner’s defense aside and plastering jolts to head and body. Ruda Shades Nasser Frankie fought strictly on the de- 1 fensive most of the time, as he was doomed and appeared to know- it. It was a case of too much class, and in addition to being rated a “big leaguer” Myers also had six pounds advantage in weight. The boys didn’t belong in the same ring. Many fans enjoyed viewing Myers in action, however, because they seldom get to look at boxers of his high rating. The semi-windup of eight rounds between Benny Ruda, Chicago, and Young Nasser, Terre Haute, was a dandy and a struggle from bell to bdll. The little fellows went ’round and *round, Ruda winning a shade. It was a great fight. Nasser got out in front at the start, but Ruda picked up speed and was ahead at the finish. The matchmaker made a good guess when he got this pair together. Bud Taylor, world’s bantam champ, was in Nasser's comer and received a hand Irom the fans. Joe Euer, Louisville, knocked out Kid Weaver, Indianapolis, with a liver punch in the first round. These lads seemed under fed and probably hadn’t seen much of boxing gloves.

In the opening four-rounder much action was supplied. Roy Cox, Indianapolis, after being on the short end the first two rounds, rallied and scored a knockout in the fourth stanza. Patrick was sent to the floor four times in the third round. This scrap was a grand curtain raiser. The Cox boy owns a real punch. He got hit “plenty” before he opened up in the third, but after that he “murdered” the Blue Grass kid.

Baseball World Mourns Loss of Jennings; Burial Services Friday Relatives at Bedside as Hughie Passes Away; Popularity Dates Back to Managing Days.

By United Press SCRANTON, Pa., Feb. I.—Hughie Jennings, one of baseball's most colorful figures, died early today of an illness which had forced him out of the national pastime in 1925. He had been in ill health since he was forced to give up his position as assistant manager and coach of the New York Giants, but his condition did not become critical until Friday. Then, doctors feared he would notrecover as his illness was diagnosed as spinal meningitis. They watched over him hour by hour and Jennings’ remarkable constitution kept him alive, even though unconscious most of the time. Shortly after midnight today he became worse and at 1:20 a. rn. he died. Burial at Moscow Funeral plans have not been determined definitely, but probably the services will be Friday. Burial will be In Moscow, Pa. Relatives were at the bedside when Jennings died. He was 56 years old. The real popularity of Jennings, known fondly as Hughie, dates back to his management of Detroit when he shared with Ty Cobb in the success of the old Tigers. From 1907 to 1921 he managed the Tigers and during that time he guided the team to three championships. During this time Ty Cobb reached his greatest fame. In 1921 Jennings went to the New York Giants as assistant to John McGraw, and remained until 1925, when he was forced to go to Asheville, N. C., on account of his health. Jennings attributed his breakdown to overwork the last year he was with the Giants. Starred With Orioles Jennings was famed for his great coaching cry of “E-e-yah,” which rang out over major league baseball diamonds for a quarter of a century. With one foot poised in the air and both arms upstretched, he would emit the famous cry at the

He played professional baseball with several teams in this district and then went to the Baltimore Orioles where he starred in a field of such stars as Willie Keeler and John McGraw. y Later, Jennings went to Brooklyn and then returned to manage the Orioles. Later he went to the Philadelphia Nationals ftnd then in 1907 was appointed manager of the Detroit Tigers. In his playing days Jennings was a catcher, a first basemen and a shortstop. He gained his greatest fame at shortstop. OWNIE’S OLD MANAGER Ownie Bush, Indianapolis, manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates expressed deep regret today over the passing of his old manager, Hughie Jennings. "A fine character, was Hughie,” said Bush. “He was a great player, excellent manager and a credit to baseball. He treated me like a father when I broke in as a big league rookie at Detroit in 1908. He was a hard worker and hustled every minute on the field.” Bush is preparing to lead his pen-nant-winning Pirates to California for spring training and will depart in two weeks.
