Talking It Over ; WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—A couple of young welterweights, Jackie Fields and Baby Joe Gans, stepped into the Garden ring Friday night to battle for the honor of meeting he champion of the division, kids won cleanly, though notovermpressively, over his Negro oponent. The champion of the di-i'-ion is Joe Dundee, a Baltimore kalian. He won the title some eighteen months ago from Pete Latzo, the Pennsylvania coal miner who never mined a lump of coal in his life. U tt tt Since winning the title, Dundee has built up an extraordinary recor - He has been—' Beaten by Johnny Indressano. Beaten by A1 Mello. Thrown out ot the ring with Pinkey Mitchell. Thrown out of the ring with George L ine. ‘ Knocked out by Young Thompson, and ] Suspended by New York, Pennsylvania, I Tlinois. California and the National Box- j in'? Association.

Nevertheless, Dundee is still the welterweight champion of the world. Those with jaws not readily dislocated are privileged to step out into the ante-room and laugh that off. The answer is, of course, that Dundee refuses to take a chance with his title. He will not appear in a ring unless the business arrangements are such he can not lose his title no matter what happens to him. Operating along these gallant lines Dundee figures to be champion until the cows come home, lugging their contented tials behind them. tt tt tt A great change has come over your correspondent, and instead of scorn he holds nothing hut admiration for gentlemen of the type of Dundee, because after all it is obvious that he and his ilk merely are striving to please the customers, who insist upon being bilked, bunked and bulldozed, this being their principal form of recreation and relaxation.

THE FAULT PLAINLY LIES WITH THE CUSTOMERS AND INSTEAD OF VENTING JUDICIAL FURY UPON DUNDEE THE VARIOUS STATE BOXING ASSOCIATIONS SHOULD. IF THEY REALLY HAVE THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE SPORT AT HEART, TAKE IMMEDIATE STEPS TO SUSPEND THE PEOPLE WHO PAY TO SEE HIM. tt a tt BY similar reasoning I am unable to sympathize with the current attack against Tom McArdle, the Garden matchmaker, who in attempting to rematch Bud Taylor and A1 Singer, made it clear he would charge twice as much for the second exposition. tt tt tt McArdle's critics have taken the misguided position that inasmuch as the first exposition ended in a foul, or alleged foul, and that as a consequence the customers were not only deprived of a decisive result, but received less than half the fighting they paid to see, something should be done to reimburse them. n tt ts T AM PLEASED TO NOTE' THAT M ARDLE KNOWS HIS CUSTOMERS BETTER. THAN HIS CRITICS DO. A LONG EXPERIENCE OVER A GREAT STRETCH OF YEARS HAS TAUGHT M'ARDLE THE CUSTOMERS KNOW NO EQUALS IN SOAKING UP PUNISHMENT AND ABUSE, AND IT IS THE HEIGHTH OF ABSURDITY TO SELL THEM A TICKET FOR FIVE DOLLARS WHEN THEY WILL CLAMOR FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF PAYING TEN.

Notre Dame Downs Butler in Hot Fray

Fighting Irish Basketeers Flash to Triumph Over Bulldog Netmen. A scrapping group of young colj legiate* netters from Notre Dame established a gala holiday for the ! blue and gold at the Butler field ! house Friday night as they swept to ! a clean-cut 24-to-21 triumph over the fighting Bulldog basketball team. A smoothly-oiled Notre Dame machine it was. A deft passing offense that drew anxious Butler guards off balance and paved the way for swift dashes down the floor and under the basket for field goals. Grim Notre Dame pastimers calmly stopping each saber-like thrust as Butler broke swiftly down the floor; white-clad pupils of Coach Keogan refusing to be tricked out of position and holding the blue of Butler at bay and there’s the story of the Butler-Notre Dame basketball game. An edge on offense. And a victory for Notre Dame. Colerick Scores A swift drive down the court and 8,000 voices roared in unison as John Colerick, husky N. D. center, flipped in the opening field goal a moment after the start. A free throw by Hosier and an under-the basket tip-in shot by Hildebrand gave Butler the lead and the Bulldogs went three points ahead of the Irish when White looped in a spectacular bucket, made while traveling down the court at top speed. A long arching shot from the center by Crowe, a short one by Colerick and a free throw by Smith gave N. D. a 7-to-5 advantage and the score was knotted once again as White and Chandler registered free throws. 15 to 11 at Half Another thrust under the basket as Colerick dropped in a goal and Notre Dame was in the lead, never to be headed. The half ended with the count standing at 15 to 1.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Ten days from today Jack Hendricks, the corpulent, silver-haired manager of the Cincinnati Reds, will start his search among the Reds’ recruits’for hard-hitting youngsters. For the Reds need a punch, and they need it badly, if they are to figu re in the 1929 National League pennant race. Three Outfield Prospects Out of a squad of thirty-eight ordered to report at Orlando, Fla., Feb. 26, seventeen are newcomers.

WISCONSIN AT INDIANA Crimson May Hit Stride to Surprise Badgers. fit/ United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—The threeway tie for the Western Conference basketball lead may be broken tonight when all ten teams swing into action. Headlining the night’s games is the Purdue-Northwestern encounter at Evanston. The Boilermakers, who have a share in the lead, arem eeting one of the toughest aggregations in the circuit and may find it hard to win. Michigan and Wisconsin, the other two leaders, will not encounter the. opposition which faces Purdue. The Wolverines meet Minnesota and Wisconsin goes to face Indiana. Minnesota has nott won, one of six starts and Michigan figures to win easily. Indiana, despite its listless playing all year, has the ability and if it should suddenly awaken tonight, Wisconsin playing on a foreign floor, must hustle. In the other two games, Ohio meets Illinois and Chicago plays lowa. The Illinois-Ohio game appears to be a toss-up with the Illini having the home floor advantage, and since Chicago has not won a conference game in seven starts, lowa, looks for an easy victory.

Ethan Allen, Marty Callaghan, Everett Purdy, Curtis Walker and Bill Zitzmann are the outfielders who were with the Reds last season and will be back again.

Rube Lutzke, formerly with Cleveland who batted ,305 for Newark last season, wifi compete with Joe Stripp, who came from Columbus last season, sand Charley Dressen for third base.

Local fans know Myers, and they respect his punching power, but in B'own the veteran from the potato sfate is meeting an experienced fisticuffer of many battles. The Philadelphia boxer has fought some prominent lightweights and junior welters. He clashed twice with Sammy Mandell, lightweight champ, in no-decision bouts of twelve rounds and ten rounds. Brown holds decisions over Baby Joe Gans, Young Harry Wills and others. The Tuesday Aimory program calls for the usual four other scraps.

Sensational Fight or Bad One Is Prediction on Miami Beach Scrap

Hate Between Rivals May Mean Savage Bout; on Other Hand Both Have Reputation for Sluggishness.

BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor MIAMI BEACH, Fla,, Feb. 16.—A clash of arrogant temperaments of deep-rooted racial prejudices, as well as of able-bodied fighting men, may make the forthcoming battle between Young Stribling and Jack Sharkey a memorable one. No prize fight in history ever was promoted quite as this one has been, and it may be that the and will justify the means. When the floodlights of the vast arena in Flamingo park are dimmed, leaving only a vivid splash of white canvas across which the fighters move from their respective corners to answer the opening bell, Feb. 27, a scrap such as the ring seldom has known may ensue. If Stribling and Sharkey retain past the sharp clamor of that opening bel lthe savage instinct each possesses the inmate hatred for each other, then indeed there will be modified murder for the modish mob. If, as each boxer has at one time or another in the past, they leave their fighting hearts draped like limp towels over the ropes in

'their corners, it will be a sorry spectacle. The black scowl of the haughty young southerner is matched by the baleful glare from the Bostonian’s chill blue eye. Neither knows the meaning of quarter in battle—for his oppone.t although it would be most incorrect to intimate that each hasn’t fought a number of exceedingly bad fights. Young Stribling is the fistic darling of the southland, which never yet raised a boy to be a heavyweight champion. Jack Sharkey hails from Boston, which first sent the mighty John L. Sullivan roaring his deep-throated challenges throughout the land. If each fights his beat, the battle of Feb. 27 will prove worthy of the picturesque promotion preceding it. Both Stribling and Sharkey have proved disapointingin the “big moments” of their fistic careers, yet each has an inborn ferocity which sometimes crops out in the heat of battle. The fight should be one of the best—or worst—ever fought by firstclass heavyweights.
