| Talking !It Over ! WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. April 14.—This fellc”r Cohen that the Murphys and the Mogelewskies and the Kelleys and the Kinigsteins are puzzling about—he's a pretty level

headed young duke, he is. “How’s it feel to be a hero?” he was asked yesterday. “Fine, but in this business you must know how it feels to be hobo, too.” What young Mr. Cohen meant lo say in his epigrammatical way was that the cheers are one thing and the jeers another.

Williams

“I just happened to get away j pretty well in the opening game,” ' he said. “I’d like to keep on going that way, naturally, but I’m not kidding myself. I’m not going to have that kind of batting luck all season.” can Old Gus 11. Fan and his neighbor in the bleachers, Isaac 11. Fan, are peculiar birds. They want their base hits, their runs and their victories. At long as they arc getting them all is Jake as well as Jacob. But when the j famine sets in old' Gus and his 1 neighbor, Isaac, surrender to a ; vast melancholy and no little hostility. a ft a THE day Ty Cobb voluntarily i gave way to a pinch hitter for the first time in his life—Heinie ’ Manush, I think was the identity ! of the gentleman,—in a loud, raucous voice boomed across the i Detroit field: “Well, it’s time you were getting hop to yourself, you big hunk of Camenbert.” . i And this to Cobb, the great high priest of the game! The cold, un- j colored philosophy of Mr. Cohen j suggests that he may be familiar j with the incident and its uncompromising portents. a tt tt Down on the sands at Miami Beach Tex Rickard doubtless ex- | perienced tingling sensations as j he read the news of Andy’s j phenomenal debut before the New : York citizenry. c c tt LIKE McGraw, Rickard has often j expressed a passionate desire : >for a Jewish star—a heavyweight, j He had a Jewish star in Benny j Leonard and the cash returns at th I j kiosk, or gate, were eminently satisfactory. He tells you that if Joe Choynski, who was good enough to beat Jack Johnson in three rounds and hold Jeffries even in twenty, were fighting today, he would be as big a card as Dempsey. Rickard has hopes that Armand Emanuel will develop. Emanuel is j the young Jewish light heavyweight | who has been fighting with conspicuous success on the coast. Dempsey is sort of sponsoring the young man and thinks well of his prospects. “He is fast, a stiff puncher and is getting better all the time,” Dempsey tells you. “He’ll take on weight as he goes along and I think he’ll be in there fighting for the title one of these days.” tt tt tt Still, it might be better if j Emanuel had someone other than. Dempsey . yodeling . his. piiases. These ex-heavyweight champions aren’t so Kosher when ii comes to picking their succes- j sors. Old John L. anointed the ! noble domes of several youthful aspirants in his day, but none of j them ever got anywhere. 4 JEFFRIES handed his crown to Marvin Hart and it was like giv- j ing the Prince of Wales Sande’s mount in the Derby. If the number of “coming cham- i pions" personally selected and so designated by James Corbett were | laid end-to-end the distance would j be too great even for one of Mr. Pyle’s cross-country hurdlers. Corbett reformed several years; ago after picking Jack McAuliffe 11., of Detroit. Coincidentally he had his eyes tailoied for those shell-rimmed cheaters he now j effects with such ponderous dignity, j It was, as the boys said, about time. I So if Emanuel can come on to win the heavyweight championship in spite of being sponsored by an ex-title holder he must be good. a a a Emanuel and Cohen have scholarly distinctions in common. Both are college men. Emanuel, schooled in Blackstone, has been formally admitted to the California bar. tt tt a THIS illustrates one of the subtle differences between the old school and the modern school of fighters. In the old days they used to throw them out of the bar. Now they admit them. Emanuel's dad is moderately wealthy, and when the heir to the family till indicated a desire to try his hand, both of them in fact, at box-fighting before turning to law, the whim was granted. It is always sound parental judgment to tolerate an offspring's whim. You never can tell when it wil lead to another million. As for Cohen, he had in mind a business career—but baseball was to . vume first. "If they can pay a man 570,000 a year for playing games why worry about business?” reasoned the Alabama alumnus. fJOFFEL WABASH STAR 11 ii Timex ypreinl CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind..

Failure of Shocker and Aldridge to Report Is Serious. TWIRLERS ARE NEEDED Both N. Y. Clubs Want Winning Pitchers. BY GEORGE KIRIvSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 14,—The fate of two major league pennant races may fall upon two recalcitrant pitchers, Urban Shocker of the New York Yankees and Viv Aldridge o 4 the New York Gaints. The Yankees and Giants both have potential pennant-winning combinations, but the failure of Shocker and Aldridge to join their clubs and get into shape may hurt the pennant chahces of either or both teams. Excluding the pitchers, the Yankees and Giants are the best balanced clubs in their respective leagues. A faltering pitching staff may prevent Miller Huggins from winning his third consecutive pennant and weak pitching might spoil all of John J. McGraw’s plans for a glorious season. The Yankees have four pitchers they can depend on, Hoyt, Pcnnock, Pipgras and Moore, and a possible fifth in Stanley Coveleskie, the veteran Pole who is attempting a comeback. , Shocker may join the Yankees next week, but it’s a big gamble if he'll be any use to them for a month or more. He ha sbeen reinstated at his own request by Judge K. M. Landis, but has not communicated with the Yankees. The Yankees won the pennant last year by nineteen games. Subtract Shocker's eighteen victories from that margin and the Yanks, all other things being equal, will be back in the league again. A slip here and there might knock off a couple of more games and. to complete the speculation, where would the world champions be? Link New Head of Golf Body Dr. Goethe L‘nk was elected president of the Indianapolis District Golf Association for the coming year at the annual dinner and meeting of the organization at the Columbia Club Thursday night. Other officers elected were Wallace O. Lee to the post of vice president. Cliff Waggoner, secretary, and Neil Grider, treasurer.

Souders, w hose home is in La l ay-* 1 ettc, Ind., sought out the girlhood sweetheart for whom he left home to make his fortune. She was Miss I Ruth Heeman, who had been travelling rather rapidly in the interim herself. Not only had she journeyed from Lafayette to Ft. Worth, Texas, but she had ad- ■ vanced in the race of life irom schoolgirl to a practicing lawyer of Texas. Souders and his bride arrived here only the other day. Now the young driver who in his first year of big league racing won not only the International 500-mile ; race on the most difficult race course in the world, in the fiercest competition but who also defeated Ralph DePalma, the old master of dirt paths, on his own type of dusty track, has no business worries. His lawyer-wife can negotiate his contracts and other tangled skeins j of commercial commotion that j cause temperamental and unbusinesslike racing sportsmen more hours of grief and worry than their speed creations. Auto racing tradition testifies that matrimony makes a change in a pilot's driving tactics. Some declare the added obligation slows him down. Others declare the knowledge that an adoring watching a race gives him added courage and causes him to perform more brilliantly. The tans shall see at first hand this year. Souders came to the Indianapolis track last May from the dry. dusty half mile tracks of Texas. He was an unknown quantity. During the time trials he attracted admiring j comments from the experts but he started in a field of thirty-three cars a rank outsider in the victory ; betting. But when pay-off time 1 came he stepped up with trembling j but receptive hands to accept the lion's share of the SIOO,OOO that hangs on the finish wire.

Heeney Attracted Attention After Stopping Negro Heavy in 5 Rounds New Zealander Advised to Sever Relations With Harvey; Laughed at ‘Knife-Diggers.’

Editor's Note: This is the fourth of a .series of six articles on the rise to fistic fame of Tom Heeney, challenger for the heavyweight crown. BY HENRY L. FARRELL NT.A Service Sports Writer UNDER the tough, crocodile hide of the boxing racket, you may , have heard it said, there beats a big, soft heart. Like the wolves of i the maligned Broadway, with fanss 1 pictured always bared for the kill, the racket is not that way, they say. There are examples where the sporting element of Broadway has extended helping hands to those of its members in need of a lift. Many of them. But there are other stories whore the hand was raised to sock or to pull down a man just getting a break. When Charley Harvey set out to get some matches for Tom Heeney, a big. boyish-like New Zealander, who wanted only money enough to get back home, lie had the well wishes of all the mob in the racket. Harvey is one of the finest personalities you would care to meet. A polished little gentleman. A square-shooter. A clean-mouthed man whose extremity of profanity is “by jinuniny crickets.” Harvey went the rounds, day by day, but no promoter would give his fighter, Heeney, a tumble. British heavyweights had a low rating. Harvey had suffered rating

WASHINGTON PARK CHATTER

MORE than the ordinary excitement attached to a ball game is expected to occur at Washington Park beginning today and lasting thruogh Tuesday. Nick Allen, burly manager, and his St. Paul Saints are here and they were to open a four-game series with the Indians this afternoon. Being charged with inciting r. cushion shower in Louisville Tuesday, but ruled not guilty by the umpires, Allen broke loose Thursday and got chased to the showers while holding bitter conversation with the game bosses. That means Nick is in shape. The husky Apostle pilot leads all other A. A. managers in having run-ins with the umpires since Ownic Bush left the league. And Nick boasts of a formidable club this season, one that stacks up like a pennant contender, and he is wondering what's in store for his team now that they are engaged to tackle the Indians who upset the dope, more or less, by knocking over the Millers three in a row.

Sturdy Backstop Pleases Fans

Itoy Spencer The backstop skill and batting power displayed by Catcher Roy f.pcncer of the Indians in the first three battles with the Millers hardiy could be improved upon in the A. A. In fact Roy performed in big league style. He instilled confidence in the pitchers, uncorked some fine throwing and obtained his share of hits. Mancie Netters Feted by Fans MUNCIE. Ind., April 14.—More than 200 attended the formal jubilee here Thursday night in honor of the State high school basketball champion basketball team—Muncie For seven hours the local citizenry paid homage to Coach Jolly and the ten members of the victorious team.

also from his long association with bum fighters. They were glad to see Charley, but they couldn’t do anything for him. Then Harvey finally got Heeney i a match with Charlie Anderson, a ham colored fighter, and Heeney j stopped him in five rounds. He didn't crash into the first pages, but he attracted some attention in the racket. He was a “limmie" fighter who wasn't knocked out. He looked like a prospect. Heeney had enough to live on I for a while after that fight, but the 1 same old dodge came when he tried ; to get some more matches. Then i the kind wolves started after him. “Get. away from Harvey,” they j told him. “He's an old grandma, i You got to do business to get business. Harvey don't stand in with i the Garden bunch. Got to give up a piece to get in. Charley can't 1 get around like he used to. Get a hustler like Johnston or Flynn who is in with the mob.” Heeney didn't listen to them. He heard them, yes, but he laughed ♦hem away. Harvey had believed in him when these well-wishers wouldn't give him the time of day. Prospects got so bad Heeney told Harvey to get anybody from Dempsey down and Harvey set out again. He matched him with Paolino. No one else wanted to fight Paolino, but Heeney took the match and that fight was the makings of him.

BY EDDIE ASH

Friday's Miller-Tride contest was postponed cn account of rain and cold weather. The managers held out until 2:30 before giving up hope of the sky clearing.: The Minneapolis Millers probably welcomed the postponement because their pitchers were going none too good. On the other hand, with their hurling: staff stepping along in lively fashion, the Friday postponement doubtless gypped the Indians out of an opportunity to make a elean sweep of het season's opening series. The Millers hiked off to Louisville after the "no game" word was given Friday and they lost no time in getting out of town for they departed at 3:30 p. m. Pitcher Danny Boone of the Indians stayed “after school was dismissed” Friday and warmed up with Trainer Pierce holding the big glove. St. -Paul sports a swell pitching brigade and the current series is certain to give the Indians plenty of puzzlers to look at. You never can tell, however, and the boys might throw another surprise and continue their strong attack that caused grief to the Millers.

St. Paul finished fourth last season and the Indians sixth. Because of their close connections with the New York Americans the Saints sometime, are termed the “Little Yankees.” “Doll” Jacobson, in the Millers series, produced an average of .546. And Walter Holke came to life with a display of bat power that averaged .429. Spencer hit an even .400. Reb Russell turned in a mark of .667 for the two games in which he saw service. Anderson pinch hit once and singled. Burwell, up twice, got one hit. Batting figures lor all Tribe players who participated against Minneapolis follow: Games AB H Fct.

Famous Case of Two Jacks Is Up Again Kearns-Dempsey Legal Suit Scheduled for Trial on Monday. B't United Press NEW YORK. April 14.—The old feud between the two famous Jacks of fistjana—Jack Dempsey and Jack Kearns—is smoldering again. The legal suit which Kearns Instituted against Dempsey while he was training for the first bout with Gene Tunney for recovery of oncthird of the latter’s earnings covering a period from September. 1923, to August, 19'26fi is scheduled to come up for trial in Federal Court Monday. Several case sare on the docket ahead of the Kearns—Dempsey suit and there is a possibility it may not be called before Wednesday or Thursday. Brought up for trial in the United States District Court at Newark last November, Judge Runyon ended the case before it had really gotten under way. Amid cries of “foul” from Kearns’ lawyers. Judge Runyon refused to declare a mistrial and Kearns withdrew the suit. The original sum Kearns named in the suit was $333,333,333. but he has since increased it to more than S6OO 000.00. Kearns bases his action on the claim he signed Dempsey for both the Wills and first Tunney fight before the expiration of his contract as Dempsey’s manager. The Wills ght never took place, but Dempsey's earnings from the Tunnew fight, boxing exhibitions in Mexico and other sources, Kearns claims, exceed a $1,000,000. Dempsey came to New York this week prepared to fight to a finish. For the past few days he has been in almost constant consultation with his lawyers. Dempsey's nal decision about rci turning to the ring may be contingent upon the outcome of this suit. If he loses, depleted finances may drive the former champion back into the ring.
