Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, April B.—Another one of those amateur-profes-sional horrors has reared its corrugated noodle above the sky line of public view. For the second time within a brief period of weeks Raymond Barbuti. star of the American Olympic team of 1928. has pointed an accusing finger at the A. A. U. In effect Barbuti charges the A. A.'Li. is a professional organization in that it makes no attempt to correct the payment of monies to amateur athletes performing under its jurisdiction. ana Barbuti seems to presume that the existence of these conditions are as well known to the leading officers of the A. A. U. as they are to him. He wonders why the A. A. I'., if it is to continue as an amateur organization, doesn't do something about the conditions. a a a REBUTTAL THE A A U. INVITES Barbuti or any one else so disposed TO QUESTION THE MORAL INTEGRITY OF THE ORGANIZATION TO PRESENT . SOME CONCRETE EVIDENCE ON WHICH ACTION CAN BE TAKEN. a a a BRIEFLY, that's the picture of ! the situation, and as I see it neither Barbuti nor the A. A. U. look any too good in it. Barbuti made certain general charges against athlete,; and promoters. Asked to ub tantiate them he re-j fused. Just —hat the point of his blast wa in the first place is hard to see. Either he should have gone the full route or remained silent.

f haven't much doubt that Barbuti speaks the truth when he says that promoters pay headline athletes and I'm pretty sure the A. A. U. has more than a vague inkling that these practices are in e licet. a a a BARBUTI SAVA THE REASON HE DIDN'T BACK UP HIS CHARGES WAS THAT PIE CONSEQUENCES; WOULD INVOLVE SOME or HIS EEL LOW ATHLETES. THAT IE HE NAMED THE PROMOTERS WHO PAID THE MONEY HE WOULD HAVE I(* NAME TICK ATHLETES WHO GOT IT. a a a BY tliis ,'tatement lie seems so imply that the great crime is hot in receiving, but in giving and in this instance I'm inclined to ngreq. although Barbuti's reasoning may be different from mine on the essential point. a a a This has been a distressing winter for the A. A. I . A lot of the young men have hern throwing mud on the front porch. Joic Ray * agreed that every charge Barbuti made was correct, except that he was too conservative. Charles Pof'fTv-k made remarks te the 'lint cn'ccl both for publication and over Ihr air. a a a TUB ATHLETIC ORGANIZATION SHOULD START WASHING ITS OWN NECK.

Texas Quintet Homeward Bound With Net Crown I!" liw>* C CHICAGO, April B.—A tall, fast J passing basketball team from Athens.

Chicago Twirlers Show Impressive Form in Exhibition Games. NEW YORKERS SHAKY But Then, Matters May Change Later. BY WILLIAM J. DUNN, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April B.—lt is , traditional in baseball that a team i with pitchers working too well i during the spring training season I will find many mound worries when the regular season opens. The reverse has been applied to teams getting poor early pitching. These traditions will be given a thorough test in the 1929 season in

case of the New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs —the most discussed teams in the American-Na-tional Leagues respectively. The Yankees, famous for their batting power, have been experiencing some miglTy poor pitching in the past few days while

McCarthy

the Cubs, on the other hand, can ask no better results from their moundsmen then they have obtained this spring. It now remains to be seen whether the Yankee hurlers are merely taking it easy in preparation lor the pennant grind, and whether the Cub pitchers have been wasting valuable strength building up impressive but meaningless training season records. The Cubs’ staff is composed of Malone, Root, Nehf, Carlson, Blake and Bush as regulars, one of the greatest looking mound staffs in the "big show." Huggins will have Hoyt, Heimaeh, Wells. Pipgrass, Zachary. Johnson, Rhoades and possibly Pennock as his regulars and they haven’t been showing up any too impressive. What will interest the fans is whether McCarthy can get the same success from his promising staff once the competition becomes stern and just how much strnegth Huggins will find in his hurling corps when it, actually reaches the peak. Pennants in two leagues may depend upon the results.

Local Bowling Gossip BY LEFTY LEE

Tlie Hare Chevrolet team failed dismally in its attempt to reach the prize list in the American Bowling Congress meet at Chicago. Jess Pritchett, the great vet of local bowling, crashed the pins for the wonderiul total of 679. but iiis team mates failed to get enough "rood to start a. fire." The team total showed a count o£ 2,691. t ddie Meyers had his sweeping hook ball orbing in the doubles event and turned m a count of 667. Karls, his partner, came acro.-s with a 397 count which places this team well up with a total of Meyers also led the locals in the singles event with a 601. Terre Haute booster teams opened the State tournament at 'irrre Haute with the usual booster team ■cores. The Golden Crust team of Ander■on rolled, Sunday, and fell far below their expected total with a score of 2.130. Scampmoste and P. Miller took the lead in the doubles with 1.176 when Miller came across with a count of 665. Miller also leads the singles event with a 587. The fiist half of the ten-game match between the double teams of Snyder and Campus Comment Bp Knute Rockne WHEREAS in the south, at the University ot Illinois and on the Pacific coast, spring practice is about over, it is just getting under way in most of our other* institutions. We had about 300 trot out in uniforms at Notre Dame and one of our faculty men said: “Huh, it looks to me like over-emphasis.” Twenty years ago when our football squad numbered about twentyfive the criticism from the same source was, “Just a Roman holiday —only eleven men being trained.” Now. when we have 300 men out lor spring football and about three times that number out for other sports, the same criticism comes from the same source, the criticism of over-emphasis. This chap says spring iootball should be abolished. And yet there are no students watching, no hysteria about winning. no pep meetings, no long trips, no publicity, no missing of classes, no interference with s'udies—just 300 boys, in their hours of- recreation in the afternoon, spending two hours on the football field for their play. There is 100 much in this modern game of football to be taught in its entirety in the football season. It takes about six weeks of spring practice to build a foundation. It interferes with no one except the envious. Men who are out for crew, baseball, track and tennis are not allowed out for spring football. But then, we always hear the cry of over-emphasis about anythine that is successful. iCopyright. 1923. bv The Times)

The Van Camp team appears the winner in this loop with a record of 59 wins and 28 defeats, three games ahead of the Outlaws in second place. The new ruling of organized bowling, which makes the bowler who rolls in a league which is not a member of the city association an outlaw will go a long way towards making Indianapolis a 100 per cent organized bowling fraternity next year. •SHE FAW DOWN, GO —’ Canadian Star Tumbles Twice and Chicagoan Wins Skate Title.
