Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

XTEW YORK, Dec. 29.—There is more to Havana than rum and roulette. Just how much your correspondent, who is neither a civic leader nor an empire builder, and hence unfamiliar with certain vital statistics, is in no position to state. For one thing, or to be exact, for several things, there are sports. The hoss racing at Oriental park is not the sort of hoss racing you see at Saratoga, Belmont or Churchill Downs. I mean to say you don’t see the Reigh Counts, the Anita Peabodys, the Toros and the class, but it is hoss racing just the same. a a u I have an idea this isn’t particularly important anyway. That strata of sportdom comprised of gentlemen known as “horse fanciers” would be surprised how little attention the average race track followers pays to the class of the game. ana TO MR. JOHN H. TWO-DOLLAR-BETTOR A FIELD OF GOATS SERVE THE SAME PURPOSE AS A FIELD OF MAN O’ WARS. HIS DOMINATING INTEREST LIES IN THE ODDS AND WHAT REMOTE CHANCE HE MAY HAVE TO CASH A BET. ana HERE the bookmaker still flourishes in all his pristine and primitive glory, operating in furious opposition to the mutuels and adding a novel turn to the process of deflating the tourist bank roll. If the odds offered by the altruistic bookmaker happen to be unappealing, as on infrequent and rare occasions has been known to be the case, you can invest in the machines. Maybe you will fare better. There is little chance you may fare worse. a a a Notwithstanding a popular belief that the gambling enterprises in Havana are fed largely by oppulent travelers from Dubuque, la.; Sardis, Miss., and Flatheel, j * Okla., it is the native Cuban w’’o keeps the bookie and croupier gold and glee. La a a fluiT IS NOT EASY TO SAY WHAT IS Hie national sport down there. Hhihaps hoss racing is. president Kiachado owns and races a stable Bhimself. and is a frequent visitor ■to the track, the national f colors of the little republic. RED. WHITE AND BLUE. ARE LIKEWISE THE COLORS OF HIS STABLE. a a a BUT the Cuban is not disposed to allow sentiment to sway judgment. and when the president starts one of his horses and the horse does not figure as a probable contender there is no mad rush on the part of the citizenry to get down bets. a a a In fact, I heard one of the Machado entries openly characteriied as a dog by a distinguished local speculator who accompanied fne'fto the paddock for a critical 1 survey before a race in which the Cutyn-owned animal was to pit his power against a select assort'ent of nondescripts with bowed dons from East St. Louis, aple Heights, O. and Aurora, 111. “I wouldn’t even bet on him to finish,” the gentleman sneered. a a a AT THE TIME I SUSPECTED THIS LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE PRESIDENT’S THOROUGHBRED MIGHT HAVE BEEN SLIGHTLY COLORED BY POLITICAL HOSTILITY, BUT AFTER WATCHING HIM RUN. IF THAT IS THE WORD. I APOLOGIZED FOR MY DISTRUST.

A capacity crowd is expected to witnsse th Technical-Shortridge basketball struggle at the new north side gymnasium tonight at 8:15. The rival squads are in good physical condition and although the Arsenal squad is a heavy favorite with local fans the blue and white regard themselves as an equal match for the fast traveling Tech team.

The Shortridge five displayed vastly improved form in their workouts late this week. The Shortridge team will take the floor with Teegarden and Shuttleworth playing the forward positions, Kiger jumping center and Bulliet and Clark performing at the guards. Coach Tim Campbell of Technical probably will use his regular five at the start of the contest putting Cullivan and Davis forwards; Hill, center, and Lowery and Parish, guards.

‘Punch Drunk’ Pugs to Be Barred by Illinois Boxing Commission Paul Prehn, President of State Body, to Submit His Plan to Other Fistic Heads,

BY BERT DEMBY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Dec. 29.—Prize fighting, having been uplifted to the extent that one of its members has entered the social blue book, Paul Prehn, chairman of the Illinois boxing commission, has an idea for further elevation of a once twofisted racket. Prehn believes it is time to stop "punch drunk” fighters from cluttering up rings and thereby detracting from the social standing of the cauliflower profession. Plainly speaking a fighter is “punch drunk,” because he has stopped too many punches with his head. ‘‘He is hurting himself as well as the sport,” Prehn said. "And were going to eliminate him as quickly as possible. There are many boys fighting now who have been hurt to the extent they are shortening their lives.” It is Prehn’s plan to call in once every three months all fighters whom the commission believes should be examined. "At this examination,” he said, “we’re going to have competent specialists in all lines. The fighters will be gone over from head to foot for physical and mental ailments. “If we believe a rest will help them, we’ll let them take the rest and give them another chance. If we believe they should stop fighting we’ll suggest that.” If a fighter refuses to quit the commission will automatically take away his Illinois license, Phern said. Already, several fighters have been called on the mat and asked to quit. Most of them have complied, but the commission has found it necessary to revoke a few licenses.

I place for his blonde thatch on the matted chest of the Belgian, and I whenever possible he was doing u jay-me-down-to-sleep act, except that his flying fists were busier than hornets and twice as annoying. Toward the close of the bout notably in the eighth and ninth rounds, Devos rallied and shoved to advantage. It was too late, and his.j blows lacked emphasis.

Reeves Stars as Bulldogs Trim Normal ‘Ginger’ Goes Big for Danville as Butler Wins Another. BY GEORGE SCOFIELD The Butler university basketball quintet defeated “Ginger” Reeves at the locals’ field house Friday night. The score was 35 to 22. The aforementioned Mr. Reeves, it might be said, represented Danville Normal. He had been undefeated before his tangle with the Bulldogs. To be sure, there were several other basketeers on Danville’s side, but the blue cagers weren't bothered much by the necessity of watching them. The Bulldogs, in fact, concentrated on Mr. Reeves. But even so. they couldn’t hold him. A veritable dribbling maniac, the towhead time after time streaked down the floor, eluded two or more men. and shot at the basket. Avery so often he scored a bullseye. Five field goals he sunk, and as many more he missed, after he dribbled and received passes under the goal. For ten minute sthere was a basketball game. Reeves electrified the crowd by scoring two baskets in rapid succession, and Shultz had made a foul goal. Thus, at the end of the first minute of play, Danville led, 5 to 0, a lead they did not relinquish for ten minutes. Soon before the ahlf ended, however, Hosier and Christopher sank a long shot apiec in quick succession and the half ended with Butler leading. II to 8. The second stanza was a much different affair. The Butler sharpshooters began to take the business o splaying basketball sriously, and White. Hosier, Chandler and Christopher started to make a track meet of the game. Hosier, especially, was in top form. Long shots arched in from every angle, and time after time a brilliant offensic rush carried the ball to a "set-up” shot under the basket. But Mr. Reeves Just wouldn't quit. Although he saw his defense crumble, although two Butler warriors rushed him every time he had the ball, he streamed here paid there like a comet, shooting, dribbling, passing and pivoting, In a hopeless attempt to stem the Bulldog rush.
