It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, De~. 4. JAMES JOSEPH TUNNFCv the man who took a boxing glove lace and ran It into a million dollars came home Tuesday from his honeymoon *>n the continent. When Tunney arrived in Chicago to contribute his genius to the spiritual progress of that community he announced he had come to box Dempsey not to fight him. Returning to America Tunney comes neither to box nor to fight any one. He returns as he left, a private citizen, and while it is very likely true that, reputable promoters stand willing to offer him a generous sum to take one more at the game you are hereby invited to bet all the steel in Pittsburgh he never will be seen with the gloves on again. When he retired he retired permanently. a a tt Tonnev* plans for the future are still 'Otnewhat vague. For another several month* he will do nothin?. It Is my undarstandln? that he Is In a position to ininlge sueh a luxury* In the spring he nrobablv will announce an affiliation with a banking or bonding house. His inclination runs In that direction. TUNNEY always has known how to get and handfe money. He is one of the few young men of wealth, who escaped the recent Wall Street calamity unscathed. He rearranged his investments—and these were heavy—just before the crash came, and got out from under without any loss at all. This was either first-class foresight or gorgeous luck. In either event he still has all his Jack, which is the important thing. tt tt u TonneT staved away from his homo land longer Iban he originally planned. This was due to the illness of Bis wife. At one time her condition was so critical that surgeons despaired of her life, and the former heavyweight champion of the world spent more than one all-night vigil at her bed side, bowed in grief and prayer. a a a YOU may have read in the newspapers that the Tunneys are nb longer in the social register, which is the Metropolis’ fixed catalogue of the blue bloods, the financially buxom and fortunately bfed. Quite a little scoffing and sneering has followed this incident, and no little acidness in editorial comment. a o a Almost anything is food for the scoffers, and knowing this to he true I am almost afraid to write what I know to be a fact that the Tunnevs refused to go out for the social register—and this goes just as definitely for the “social climbing" Tunney as well as the socially established Mrs. Tunney. In brief, they are not in th,e book for the very simple reason that they didn’t care anything about being in and if any one wishes to check this up, it be readily verified. a tt tt T' UNNEY, In this connection, once remarked: “The aristocracy of the spirit is the only aristocracy worth while.” I don’t care whether the raw-boned youth from the docks read.this in a book somewhere or whether he actually feels it, my notion is that It is a distinctly human slant and not at all inconsistent with many fine phases of the man’s character as I have come to know him and them. u u A day or so ago I was talking with Jack Dempsey about the man who took the heavyweight title from him. There is no love lost between the two, even now, and I have 11s- l tened to harsh words from each of them in regard to the other. Mr. Dempsey said: •‘There is one thing you have to give him credit for, he was smart and he knew what he was doing all the time. I was never able to fox him into a false move. ' He was the only fighter I ever faced who sent me back to my corner wondering if 1 l was doing right or wreng in the ring.” i tt tt tt This. T think, is a good picture ' of Tunney the fighter. It also explains, I believe, why he was not a great popular favorite. It is much easier for the mob, which includes myself, to thrill to the mechanism of the fists than the subtleties of the mind. tt At the same time I anj still of the opinion that Dempsey was the better fighter. At rate he was the type of tighter I always prefer to watch. Dempsey thinks he knocked the manly Marine out in the Chicago fight and I agree with him. To me that was not a seventh round knockdown, but a seventh round knockout.

Sicking and Cvengros in Indian Fold Herman Layne Is Traded for Popular Eddie; Tribe Bosses Active. Hu Time* Bveeial CHATTANOOGA, Dec. 4. —The Indianapolis baseball delegation here for the minor league convention lost no time in making deals to bolster the 1930 Tribe roster and out of the bag late Tuesday came Eddie Sicking, veteran second baseman, former Indian captain, and Mike Cvengros, southpaw pitcher. Sicking returns to Indianapolis to team with Shortstop Rabbit Warstler around the keystone sack and Cvengros comes in the deal that sent Pitcher Bud Teachout to the Chicago Cubs. Outfielder Herman Layne was traded to Louisville for Sickjng, who often has expressed a desire to get back to the Hoosier capital. Sicking batted .310 the past season and was as clever as ever handling his position, while Herman Layne had a poor year in 1929, his stick work being far below expectations during the first half of the campaign. Owner Norman Perry, Manager Corriden and Secretary Clauer put through the Layne-for-Sicking transaction to speed up the Tribe innerworks. Indianapolis is striving to land Slug Tolson, Chicago Cub reserve first baseman, to use him in a trade for Elmer Yoter, Minneapolis’ agile third sacker. Manager Corriden is bearing down trying to land some heavy hitting outfielders and it is said Wid Matthews, sensational center fielder, will be sacrificed in a deal for a man possessing more batting power.

Hoosier State Steps Out THE fall of 1929 has witnessed a bountiful crop in Indiana sports and if basketball runs true to tradition, the Hoosier harvest is not fully reaped as yet. Out of two Big Ten championships settled thus far, Purdue university lays claim to one, the football title, and Indiana U. grabbed the crosscountry crown. Furthermore, Purdue was undefeated and untied in football. And topping the list of Hoosier achievements was the feat of the great Notre Dame eleven In parading through a season of stiff obstacles with never a defeat or a tie chalked up against them.

Other games rolled showed the Hoosier Motor Club and United Motor Service taking two from the C. H. Wallerich and Alemite. The city tourney also cut into the Fountain Square Recreation League play, but two contests being decided, the Prospect Social and Moose Lodge taking three from the Indianapolis Drop Forge and Stahlhut Jewelerv. Koehler with a total of 639 was high. Werner had 631 for second place, while Hotzmever showed on 603.

Baker rolled 605; Harvey. 608, and Gran. 610. Entries for the “Pot of Gold” sweepstakes which will be rolled on the Elk Club alleys Dee. 14. 15. 21 and 22 are coming in fast. The committee in charge of this event has been worikng hard and reports lead them to believe the 147-team record will be passed this year. A handicap of 60 per cent of the difference between a team's average and 1.000 will be allowed each game. This gives the so-called weaker teams an,even break with the fast combinations, and provides a chance for any club to be turned the winner.

Penalty Reduced Against Star Rochester Player at Baseball Powwow. LENGTHY HEARING HELD Jack Hendricks Hot After I. L. Presidency. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY, Cnlted Press Staff Corre pondent CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Dec. 4 President Mike Sexton of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (the minors), today reduced the penalty imposed on George Toporcer, Rochester International League infielder, from one year’s suspension to a SSOO fine. President Sexton also reduced the penalty imposed on Manager Billy ’’Eouthworth of Rochester from a SSOO fine to S2OO. Toporcer originally wan find S2OO by the International League and 1 then suspended for a year from orj ganized baseball because of his part j in causing a near-riot after he was called out on strikes by Umpire Larry Goetz in the ninth inning of the final game of the “little world series,” Oct. 13, between Rochester and Kansas City. Hickey Favors Mitigation President Thomas J. Hickey of the American Association, who made the complaint in the case, was present at the rehearing and requested a mitigation f the penalties formerly imposed. Sexton announced that the fine must be paid by Toporcer himself before March 1, 1930, and not by the Rochester ball club or any official connected with the team. President Mike Sexton, who imposed the penalty on Toporcer, reopened the case Tuesday, and with seven of the eight members of the national board of arbitration sitting ex-officio, heard testimony and pleas for six hours. With almost a thousand baseball leaders present, the twenty-eighth annual meeting of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (the minors) opened a three-day session here today. The basis for several major league deals which will be consummated at the major league meeting in New York will be laid here. GosJin, Vance, Grimes Among the rumors heard are the following: The St, Louis Browns have opened negotiations with the Washington club for Goose Goslin. Several National League clubs, including the Cardinals, Reds and Cubs, are seeking Dazzy Vance of Brooklyn. Pitcher Burteigh Grimes of Pittsburgh is mentioned prominently as one player who will go elsewhere, maybe to Cincinnati or St. Louis. Two former members of the Philadelphia Athletics, George Burns and Joe Bush, are here seeking managerial jobs in the minors. To Name President A meeting of the International League was scheduled this afternoon, at which another attempt will be made to elect a president to succeed the late John Conway Toole. The post appeared to lie between Jack Hendricks, former manager of the Cincinnati Reds, and William L. Dill, motor vehicle commissioner of the state of New Jersey. Eugene C. Bonniwell, Philadelphia judge, was suggested as a compromise candidate.

The Hawkeye school was suspended from the conference last May. but the suspension was not to take effect until Jan. 1. In case the Hawkeye plea for reinstatement is denied, several conference schools will be left with open dates.

Stove League Chatter BY EDDIE ASH

Milwaukee expects to land Catcher Clyde Manion of the St. Louis Browns as part of the talent being sought to build anew ball club. Bob McMenemy, a long time in the league, some time ago was advised to buy a ticket for Little Rock next spring. nun Marty Berghammer's new contract as boss of the Brewers calls for only one season, which means produce in 1930 or get out. A first division club in the Cream City collects real money for the league as a whole. Fans there die off in droves when the home nine flivvers. ff ff tt LEFTY LEIFIELD, new manager of the St. Paul A. A. team, was mentioned for that berth before Bubbles Hargrave took the reins there in 1929. Leifield was a popular pitcher for the Apostles years ago and spent a long stretch in the majors later as pitcher, coach and scout. He piloted Oklahoma City the past season and finished second in the Western League race, never falling below third and several times his club was out in front. a a tt Leifi eld’s appointment was announced at the Chattanooga baseball convention by R. J. Connery, president of the Apostles. At the same time it was announced the Saints had obtained Pitcher Frank Nekola, southpaw, from the Yankees. He is the former Holy Cross phenom. ft ft tt The contract of Bubbles Hargrave, 1929 St. Paul manager, was transferred to the Yankees recently in a player deal in which the Saints got Pitcher Wiley Moore, Outfielder Paschal and Catcher GrabowSki. The Yankees also took from the Saints Pitcher Polli, Outfielder Cooke and Third Baseman Chapman. n a GOSSIP from Chattanooga indicates the baseball convention visitors are being entertained hot and heavy and big league scribes on hand say the hospitality is marvelous. which means it must be great if they admit it.

To further complicate matters, the 1929 candidates held the members of last year’s team to a two-point victory. When Tim called the roll at Tech this fall, first ,on his list was Emmett Lowery, all-state floor guard and Gimbel award winner last spring.

Giant Italian Speeds Up for Stribling Bout By United Press PARIS, Dec. 4.—Primo Camera, giant Italian heavyweight, is showing improved form in training for his return bout with W. L. (Young) Stribling to be staged here Dec. 15. Camera, who weighed 287 pounds for his previous match with Stribling, has lost considerable weight and appears to have developed more speed, which will make him a more formidable opponent for the American. Stribling is devoting most of his training preparations to the development of hard punching. Because of the unsatisfactory ending of the previous bout—Stribling losing on a foul in the fourth round—Promoter Jeff Dickson included a clause in the contract for the return fight which provides that if either man loses on a foul his share of the purse will be given to charity.

Anderson to Battle Reed Here Tuesday Local Favorites on Armory Card: Shaw Decisively Beats Alte. Indianapolis leather fans are looking forward to next Tuesday ! night with hopes for one of the best bouts of the present indoor season. [tt hen Cowboy Eddie Anderson of | Cody, Wyo., and Jimmy Reed of j Erie - Pa - lightweights, mix in the j ten-round feature of the weekly American Legion card at the Armory. Wearing him down for ten rounds with body punches and putting him on the canvas in two sessions, Billy Shaw, Detroit featherweight, won I from Merle Alte. Indianapolis, in the main bout of Tuesday night's card. Alte was lucky to break even with Shaw on punches In one round. His much-vaunted right hand was useless as Shaw peppered him with rights to the ribs and heart. At times the action drifted into slow motion. Alte was down for counts | of nine In the seventh and eighth i rounds. In the six-round semi-windup, Howard Jones. Louisville lightweight, bested Mickey O'Hara, Cincinnati. In another uninteresting match, Carl Emrick, Terre Haute featherweight, won on points from Joe Lynn. Detroit, in six rounds. Willie Cecil, Louisville featherweight, easily whipped Bobby Allen. Chicago, in four sessions of thelr six-round affray. .
