Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YOP.K, March 23.—The cantankerous cauliflowers seem to be going right hand crazy these days. I mean to say that most of the battlers who are coming along Indicate a eay preference for the -rßht hand smack; This is contrary to the best forms of the noble profession. It has always been held that the left hand represents the spe r diest and most effective road to success in the fight trade. a a a Old timers used to say the only thing a right hand was good for was to scratch your neck with. This is probably still true because nobody has yet demonstrated that a strictly right-handed puncher was better equipped f~r the rowdy business than a contemporary lcfi-har.dcr. nun NEVERTHELESS, QUITE A PEW OF THE BOYS WHO ARE WEARING TAN WEBKITS. SPATS AND NEW BOWLERS. AND DISPLAYING OTHER EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY. ARE IN THERE POPPING AWAY WITH RIGHT HANDS AND 'WINNING OFTENER THAN THEY LOSE. PERHAPS. AFTER ALL, A RIGHT HAND ■IBNR’ EXACTLY A HANDICAP TO A FIGHTER EVEN IF HIS NECK DOESN'T -NEED SCRATCHING. n X n MAX SCHMELING is addicted to right-handed punching in Habit-forming quantities, and while the cracles of the ring, led by Will Gibson, Leo P. Flynn and Dumb Dan Morgan, predict that he will get nowhere until he begs, borrows or leases a left-hand, his success up till now has been reasonably satisfying. > n e n That the customers are not interested in whether a gladiator hits with a right or a left, as long . as he hits with sufficient frequency and ferocity seems to be established by the great following the young German has achieved over here. nun . • APPARENTLY THE CUSTOMERS’ CHIEF DEMAND IS A CONCLUSION THAT LEAVES ONE QF THE GLADIATORS PLOPPING AROUND IN THE RESIN WITH A DISTRESSED EXPRESSION AND A PAIR OF NON-FUNCTIONING LEGS. nun AS a matter of fact they probably pay no attention to technique at all. Indeed it has been my observation that the only time—the customers give voice to violent resentment and disapproval is when 'one of the gladiators dances out and starts exuding technique from every pore.

Five men lenms using the Capitol alleys for league play will compete Saturday night and Sunday In a handicap sweepstakes.

AVALON CLUB TO OPEN NEW $7,5000 HOME Five-Year Dream of Nine Men Comes True; Plan Fete Week. BY DICK MILLER Five years ago this spring nine Indianapolis men, including a golf architect, a promoter, and seven business men, sat in a downtown club and dreamed aloud of a golf and country club built according to their ow’n ideas. They decided to call their project the Avalon Golf and Country Club. During the week of April 8-13, the beautiful new Avalon clubhouse, located five miles out on Millersville road, will be thrown open for public inspection. The building, costing $75,000, and the eighteen-hole golf course, completed and placed in use last summer, represents a total expenditure of $250,000. The membership at this time numbers 360 and includes only two of the original nine. The architect, Will Diddel, has worked tirelessly and declares the course is one of the city’s best. The little group of nine incorporated. The membership drive started. Clark Named Secretary George L. Clark was named secretary. Since then he has served actively with Fred Tucker, another of the original investors. In 1925 the site on Millersville road was acquired. The old homestead there serving as the clubhouse. Diddel designed a nine-hole course in such a way that it could be easily increased to eighteen holes and construction began.

There were many gloomy days attached to the construction period. Charlton Carter, James Hammer, M. <L Abbott and others say, however, that the majority of the new members were not of the “moral support” type, but real workers. Herman Seilken, well known among local golfers, joined anti spurred on the campaign. The first nine holes were completed and a professional was sought. Roy Smith, then at Shelbyville, was hired, the old homestead barn being converted into a shop for him. He set about his work of making golfers out of investors. His success told most when the membership clamored that the course be enlarged to eighteen holes. They said it with dollars. Start Clubhouse Drive

Next goal was an up-to-date clubhouse and planse were drawn up. The directors faced several serious financial crises, but M. J. Abbott, president during 1927 and 1928, led the campaign to a successful end. The new clubhouse, located back from Millersville road, is approached by a winding road that gives visitors different views of the landscape. Four stories of the stone and concrete building face the approach side. As it is built into the side of a hill, only two stories are seen from the course. There is a large porch. The first tee and the eighteenth green are near the clubhouse, with a large practice green between. Thei-e is* also a large children’s playground nearby. A creek on the course is to be damrled into a lake and water hazard oh hole twelve. 7t also will supply the course with water. Equipment of Best The clubhouse, with its large lounging room, has two men’s locker rooms and one for womer, besides the professionals’ shop. Stairs from th.e course level lead down to the locker rooms. The dining room will accommodate 250 and will be served by a modern kitchen, electric grille and refrigeration system. The first four days of opening week will be without special events. On Friday, April 12, the membership will have a dinner and bridge party. The Saturday night program calls for a dinner dance. George L. Clark, first club secretary, recently elected 1929 president, will be in charge, assisted by a group of committees. The 1929 officers are: George L. Clark, president: Dr. C. W.

Star Young Right-Hander in Hospital for Removal of Tonsils. TRIBE PLAYS RED WINGS Take on Red Sox Monday at Bradenton. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor SARASOTA, Fla., March 23.—An unlooked for damaging punch was handed the Indians today that will weaken the pitching staff for two or more weeks, when Danny Boone,

mder, who made ' ' J Ok ' A ||

dependable righthai a Strong finish last season, went to the local hospital to have his tonsils removed. He is the lad who had the honor of hurling the pennant-clinching victory on the final day of the 1928 race, and his going on the shelf at this time no doubt will handicap him in his efforts to get away to a flying start in the

coming campaign. Boone has been ailing and complaining off and on since reporting at spring training camp and whenever he would extend himself in a workout he grew weak. Finally the club bosses ordered a thorough medical examination which brought the word the young hurler’s tonsils were in bad shape and a menace to his physical condition. Therefore, the operation today and the indefinite loss of the chunky righthander, which, after all is expected to result eventually in gain for both player and club if no ill effects crop up to mar a speedy recovery. The A. A. champions were to begin a two-game series today on the local lot with the Rochester Internationals and following the pair of week-end skirmishes with the champion Red Wings the Tribe will motor up to Bradenton Monday to tackle the Boston Red Sox. The three games in three days means the old acid test for the flinging staff and Boss Betzel was to start off this afternoon with two rookie pitchers, Ruel Love and Emory Osbern, right handers, who are the best of the bushers on the Tribe roster. Riddle and Munn will share the catching until Joe Sprinz nurses his arm into condition. In scouting around for more pitching. strength the Indians have directed eyes toward Claude Jonnard, veteran right hander, declared a free agent by Judge Landis. He has been a consistent winner in the American Association with Milwaukee and if he doesn’t join a big league club the Hoosiers will jump into the bidding for his services, an n Tauscher of the Pirate staff Is being mentioned as a likely Indian. Brame is another Pirate whom the Betzelites would like to land. nun The sun beat down hard Friday and the athletes put in a hard day. Wid Matthews turned up with a bruised hand, but he had it bandaged and went ahead and took regular batting practice and cut out fielding drill. n n n The throwing arm of Catcher Joe Sprinz was sore Friday, but it loosened up with work and he again made a favorable impression back of the plate. Later on Manager Betzel and Coach Corriden will endeavor to make a better batter out of the former Coast League regular. tt n Pitcher Ken Penner is coming along slowly and may see service in one of the three games facing the champions. A balky arm has held him back and he has spent most of the time improving his physical condition and building up his wind.

Cambridge Is Winner Over Oxford In Classic Crew Race on Thames Powerful Light Blue Eight Rows to Triumph Over Cen-tury-Old Rivals; Seven Lengths Ahead.

BY KENDALL FOSS United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, March 23.—Cambridge celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of its first boat race with the dark blue of Oxford by winning the annual classic on the Thames today. The light blue oarsmen of Cambridge swept over the finish line at Mortlake seven lengths ahead of BRIBES PAID” SLEUTH TRAP BIGJM RING First of 21 Ex-Customs Officials Convicted in Detroit Expose. Bn United Press DETROIT, March 22.—James S. Mach, the first of twenty-one former custom border patrol inspectors to go on trial for accepting bribes from rum smugglers, was found guilty by a jury after ten minutes deliberation today. Federal Judge C. C. Simons sentenced Mack to serve two years at Leavenworth penitentiary and pay a $5,000 fine. Jack denied the specific indictments against him, but admitted he had received money from liquor runners on other occasions. Nineteen alleged bootleggers also are under indictment in connection with the whisky and beer smuggling conspiracy which is estimated to have allowed $50,000,000 worth of contraband liquor to pass over the Detroit river, between here and Windsor, Ontario, last year. Six Others Plead Guilty Six other former inspectors have pleaded guilty to charges of bribe taking and are awaiting sentence. The identity of the mysterious “Mr. X,” secret undercover agent, and the bane of rum-runners and “beer barons” along the border here, was revealed for the first time at Mack’s trial. “Mr. X.” was revealed as Lawrence Fleishman, special customs agent, who exposed the corrupt border patrol here after six weeks of investigation when he served as a member of the p trol. Received $1,700 in Bribes Fleishman received bribes totaling $1,700 during that period of time, his share of the estimated $2,000,000 yearly rum-graft. Asa result of his evidence the twenty-one inspectors and nineteen alleged bootleggers were indicted by the federal grand jury last November. Statements made at that time resulted in three of the inspectors being chugged with perjury. Although Fleishman has been a member of the customs service only for two years, he is well known for his brilliant exploits last summer at New York where he exposed a graft ring similar to the one in operation here. Gets Leave of Absence His success in New York prompted his appointment to Detroit, where his identity was known only to Sumner C. Sleeper, former chief of the patrol. Sleeper left Detroit on a “leave of absence” coincident with the indictment of the twenty-one inspectors here. Three other former border patrolmen, Shell Miller, Lamarr D. Smith and Harold T. Morrison also have insisted on a jury trial and they will be tried next week, according to John R. Watkins, United States district attorney.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

the exhausted Oxford crew. The time was 19 minutes and and 24 seconds. But a single figure—the sturdy J. M. MacDonald at No. 4 oar—remained upright in the Oxford boat as it crossed the finish line after a gallant spurt near the finish line. Cambridge finished in splendid shape. A record breaking crowd lined the banks of the muddy Thames from Putney Bridge to Mortlake to witness the clash between the two old rivals. Cambridge took the lead shortly after the start, sending the light craft ahead with steady strokes. The lead was increased steadily as they swung around the great curve of the river. The victors maintained a wonderful rhythm throughout, but it was after the powerful oarsmen swept past Barnes Bridge, and came into the finish stretch that they displayed their greatest power. 2 SLAYERS HANGED 'Crowbar Killer’ of Parents of Sweetheart Dies.

M’Larnin in Dull Victory Jimmy Wins Decision After Ten Dreary Rounds. lift United Press NEW YORK, March 23.—The count between Jimmy McLarnin and Ray Miller was even today. Before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a fight at Madison Square Garden, McLarnin Friday night thoroughly trounced the Chicago cartoonist in a dreary, disappointing ten-round bout. A crowd of nearly 25,000 persons paid $111,855.83 to witness the bout. Instead of cheering a knockout victor as most had expected to do, they booed teh rounds of listless holding and ineffective punching accorded McLarnin a spiritless cheer when the verdict was announced. It was McLarnin who forced the fighting from the start. Miller’s touted left hook which he used to open a cut beneath Jimmy's right eye and pave the way for his Detroit victory was never in evidence. Only once or twice did he swing it and then without success.
