Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Dec. 6. THAT strange form of sport known as the six-day bike race where a gaudy assortment of twomen teams riding in alternate shifts spend 144 consecutive hours, day and night, pushing archaic conveyances around an undulating wooden track that somehow suggests a Gargantuan gravy platter is again on display at the garden. To the surprise of some of the community’s leading economists the races are attracting their usual capacity crowds. The blighting touch of depression that struck baseball during the summer and subsequently extended itself to the fight game seemingly has made a wide detour leaving the inmates of the human squirrel cage unscathed. nun This mar be explained on the broad basis that the alx-day bike tan is a glutton for Vanishment. It is probably true that there ore men who pay their way into the garden to see the McNamaras, the Geor(ettla and the Spencers who never turn •nt for any other type of sporting allurement. On top of that, the marathon Wheelers do not put on a bad show. u tt u In many of its essentials a sixday bike race Jg a silly, stupid, meaningless thing, but there is something about the dizzy spectacle of riders continuously in action, driving with the fury of the wind, yet going nowhere in particular, that holds your interest. u u u THERE Is nothing about these races that are peculiar to any epeciflc community or country either. A psychologist attempting to read Into them distinctive traits of any particular civilization would make little progress beyond arriving at the obvious conclusion that the strong back and the weak mind carry a world \nitle sporting appeal. The homage that the metropolis bestows about the cyclists is re-enact-ed annually with varying shades of hysteria in Chicago, Paris, Berlin, Sydney and many other parts of the globe. n a m At present America is the ereafest of all cycling centers. It is a mild surprise to learn that the professionals arc active in this country most of the year. January is the only month in which there arc no important engagements. At all times there la racing some where. Most of it is concentrated In the east with moetx'ln New Tork, Newark. Philadelphia, Boston and Providence. Chicago has sprnt more than • million dollars on six-day races in the past eight years. Detroit is now a flourtshing center, intimately other tracks are to be laid out In Cleveland, St. Louis and Miami. tt tt tt THE sport lias prospered In the face of much public ridicule and'sinister charges of hippodroming. There Is a legend that the management decides in advance who the winners are to be and that his business contracts with the riders are arranged accordingly. This is probably nothing more than a legend, The last winter race at the garden, for example, was won by Georgetti and Debates. They took a commanding lead early in the week and maintained it to the finish, winning by five laps. Thus as a competition the event was totally without Interest. a a a A prearranged result surely would have been devised with more rare and an eye for a more rousing climax. Os course ti’is does not occur very often and Mr. John M. Chapman, the high priest of the sprockets, may be counted on to see that It does not occur again. After all there Is oach a thing as carrying righteousness and ethics to an extreme, and while Mr. Chapman Is known to be a sportsman of high standing he also is a very hardheaded business man whose enthusiasms rise and fall in direct proportion to the hex office returns. tt a tt rrtHE boys tell me Mr. Chapman very seldom shows himself around the races, being a person of discriminating tastes in amusement. He is akin in this respect to the prosperous inn keeper of Ye preVolstedian era, who always took a cigar when the wines were passed.

‘Farm 9 System in Baseball Is Denounced by Judge Landis

High Cdmmissioner Says Ownership by Majors of Minors Endangers Game Disintegration in Little Loops Already Apparent, Diamond Boss Declares, as He Points Out Marked Drop in Attendance; Magnates Start Thinking. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Cnltcd Cress Staff Correspondent CHATTANOOGA, Dec. 6.—Major league ownership of minor league clubs was assailed by Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis at the annual banquet of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues here Thursday night. Charging that both parties were equally responsible, Judge Landis said that unless something war done to get back to individual ownership cf minor league clubs, the entire baseball organization would be endangered. Although it has tong been known that Judge Landis was opposed to major league ownership of minor league clubs, Thursday night's speech was the first public denouncement of that farm system by the baseball commissioner.

Purdue May Visit West Phelan Willing to Accept Tilt; Banquet Held. Possibilities that Purdue’s undefeated football team, champions of the Big Ten, may be named eastern representative to oppose Southern California at Pasadena New Year's day, were admitted Thursday by Jimmy Phelan, head coach at the Boilermaker school. Following the Purdue Association of Indianapolis victory banquet for the champions Thursday night at the Severin, Phelan said he had talked with the Tournament of Roses officials several times. The Purdue mentor Stated he was not opposed to such a trip and that he believed Purdue athletic authorities w r ould not stand in the way. He pointed out, however, that special permission would have to be secured from the Big Ten if an invitation is extended by western officials. More than two hundred attended the banquet, including fifteen outstanding city prep grid stars, who were awarded gold medals by N. A. Kellogg, Purdue athletic director. Senior members of the Purdue team, including Welch and Sleight, Glenn Harmeson, Indianapolis, and Bill Woerner, Indianapolis, attended. Members of the Purdue athletic staff also were present. Governor Harry G. Leslie, former purdue player, and J. K. Lilly of the board of trustees, were speakers. Allan Stackhouse served as toastmaster.

Panthers Reject St. Mary's Offer By United Press PITTSBURGH, Dec. 6.—The University of Pittsburgh athletic council has rejected an invitation to play St. Mary's college in a post-season game at San Francisco, Dec. 21, it was announced today. Pitt authorities made no announcement of an aversion to postseason games, and it is believed that an invitation to meet Southern California in the annual Tournament of Roses game at Pasadena New Year’s day would be accepted. FRANKLIN FIVE WINS Ku Times Soecial FRANKLIN, Ind., Dec. 6. —Maintaining an early lead and gaining power as the game progressed, Franklin college’s cagers dropped N A. G. U. of Indianapolis, 47 to 15, here Thursday. The Grizzlies led at lie half, 20 to 10. Reserves played the last ten minutes for the victors. Wooden, Ireeman and Montgomery led the Franklin attack.

“There is more activity along this line now than at any time in the eight years I have been connected with professional baseball,” said Landis. “Already the seeds of disintegration have begun to spring into life. One day the whole organization is going to fall down unless this condition is soon remedied.” Cited Evidence Judge Landis cited the case of a class “B” league, thought to be the Three-I group, which has lost more than 200,000 in attendance in the past five years, dropping from an aggregate of 532,000 to 304,000. He said he believed major league ownership was largely responsible for this drop. “I have heard it said that the major leagues were entirely responsible for this condition,” said Judge Landis, “but I have heard many men at this minor league meeting say that they came here principally looking for a major club to take over their team. I think both parties are equally to blame. “The main point Is: How are the members of this organization going to remedy that problem and save baseball? I refer particularly to the little fellows, the Class B, C and D leagues, which are facing their doom under existing conditions.

Hurts Enthusiasm "I am convinced that I am right when I say that we ought to return to the system of one ball club under the control of one interest only. How can you expect a man to go out and throw his hat into the air and root for a team when he knows that the team is owned by someone 1,000 miles away and that he is cheering and backing their interests, and not those of his own community? We ought to get back to a situation where a man can think about the town’s club as his own and there is the old-time traditional rivalry between the neighboring towns.” Judge Landis said that he was going to “keep hammering at this thing until something was done about it.” Minor league,-crwners and officials generally reacted- favorably to Judge Landis’ remarks. After the speech they gathered in groups in the hotel lobby and agreed almost unanimously that “the judge is right,” but seemed to be perplexed about to where *to start in to correct the situation. OPERATE ON BISSONETTE Bu United Press BROOKLYN, N. Y„ Dec. 6.—Del Bissonnette, Brooklyn first baseman, will submit to an operation for sinus tiouble, it was announced today by officials of the club.

Stove League Chatter BY eddie asij

TOM HICKEY, American Association prexy, has purchased Umpire Zeke Clayton from the Western League to fill the shoes of Ted McGrew, who goes to the National League staff. Clayton has been guessing ’em in the Western loop five years and comes highly recommended to the double A circuit. No other changes are likely to be made by Hickey. # # Nick Cullop, Southern Association outfielder, will go to Minneapolis if he fails to convince Judge Landis he deserves to be declared a free agent. Nick was unable to hit the low hook when he was in the A. A. before. However, he would be a threat in the small Miller park. a * a Another Miller deal brings Leo Cortazzo, midget shortstop, up from Nashville to the Flour City. He has a fine arm and is popular with fans wherever he performs. a a a NATIVES of Chattanooga called it pure Tennessee corn, but baseball convention visitors refused to recognize it as anything but mule and Montreal had little trouble landing the 1930 pow wow. It was only 1928 that .the boys convened in Toronto. a a a According to Cy Slapnicka, scout for Cleveland, his club no longer is interested in Joe Kuhel, star Kansas City first sacker. Kuhel lives in Cleveland, but apparently Manager Feckinpaugh decided Joey wouldn’t click against big league pitching. Or maybe the price wasn't right. a a a SPENCER ABBOTT, former K.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Purdue Center in Shape

Stretch Murphy

TJURDUE'S hopes for another successful basketball season are high. One of the reasons is Charles (Stretch) Murphy, center and co-captain w T ith Glen Harmeson, forward, of Indianapolis. Murphy stands 6 feet 6 inches, and his height enables him to control the tip-off and gives him an advantage in follow-in shots. He is deceptive and fast, despite his height, and plays a stellar defensive game. He was one of the main cogs in the 1926 state championship Marion high school team, and was an allAmerican collegiate choice for last season. He is a senior.

Bu United Press LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6.—The largest crowd of spectators so far during the national professional golf tournament was at the links of the Hillcrest Country Club here today when four of the country’s greatest golfers met in the semifinal round for the championship. Leo Diegel, present champion and Walter Hagen, from whom the Agua Caliente golfer took the crown at Baltimore a year ago, resumed their ancient battle for supremacy, each in top form. Johnny Farrell, national open champion, who came from behind to defeat Craig Wood and win his way into the semi-finals, faced A1 Watrous of Detroit in the other match. Confronted with the probability of being eliminated from the tournament, Farrell put forth all his power and wizardry on the last nine and extra winning hole, he had six pars and four birdies. Hagen eliminated Tony Manero of New York, 6 and 5, while Diegel dropped Gene Sarazen, 3 and 2. Watrous defeated A1 Espinoso two up.

Indications are that this season’s Green squad, led by Emmett Lowery, all-state floorguard and Gimbel medal winner last spring, will equal the 1929 quintet which was runner-up for the state title. Rochester has a strong quintet, coached by Keith Stroup, formerly of Fairmount, and led by Thompson, one of the best forwards in the state.

they’re always ranked among the top-notch contenders. This year apparently is no exception. The state champions have tumbled Muncie, Rochester, Martinsville and Vincennes, and were dropped by Logansport. Case was one of the first prep mentors to use the delayed offense successfully. You also may remember that the Hot Dog mentor got mixed up in the Big Ten squabble which followed the suspension of lowa last spring.

a tt tt Three of the regulars who won the stale title last spring are again going big for the lighting Five. R. Unroe, brother of the great “Shimmy.” Is playing forward, paired with Lawhead. who also was a regular last year. Shaver still handles the floor guard duties. In addition, Armantrout, backguard, Hollis, floorguard, and Thompson and Primmer, forwards, all of whom vrere present at the "party” In Butler field house last spring, are in uniform again. Stroup, former Circleville star, has taken over the regular pivot assignment vacated by “Shimmy” Unroe. R.

Despite the newness of the season, here goes: I—Washington, 2—Frankfort,' 3—Logansport, 4—Horace Mann of Gary. s—Martinsville, 6—Columbus. 7—Vincennes, B—Franklin, 9—Anderson, 10—Connersville. g Take the first four teams, mix ’em up and what have you got—the best team in the state. Truthfully, we like Horace Mann, hut they’ve only played two games, and one of them they lost —to Washington. 19 to 18. But they had only four days of practice, four of the first stringers having ended the football season just five days preceding the Hatchet encounter. IVe rank Frankfort ahead of Logansport despite the 26 to 22 victory of the Berries. tt tt tt Here are the first contribution!, of which I hope there will be many. They speak for themselves. The first says: Dear Backboard: Here’s to Tech! (Long may she wave)? Well, we’ve played one game and lost it to last year’s varsity by only 1 point. Os course, last year’s players did not have any practice together, but when you figure that Emmett Lowery didn’t play on this year’s team, it makes a great difference. I think that if Lowery had played, and last year's team had practiced together, last year’s team would have won by 8 to 16 points, frorr the inexperienced team. Will Tech gc to the state?

COLUMBUS. IND. Dear Blackboard: I'm not one of those fans who grab any opportunity to “take their pen In hand” and try and break into the public prints, but the lack of attention our Bull Dogs are getting, in turn is getting my Angora. Man and boy. I have followed this team for a good many years, passing successively through the stages of freshman enthusiasm when Columbus considered itself extremely fortunate to win its own sectional tourney, to the present time when that enthusiasm has been tempered somewhat as enthusiasm will over the period of a number of years. We thought. Justly, that we had a great team last year, and there Is no hiding the fact that there was more than a little weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth when Columbus failed to Justify our expectations in the state tournament. However, hope springs eternal in the human breast as you probably know if you haven’t forgotten the laboriously learned Shakespeare of your school days, and my advice to you is: Watch Columbus this year! Probably our outstanding achievement to date is that of defeating Vincennes by a score of 55 to 22 on Vincenes' floor, and you do not need to be told that is no mean feat. Particularly in view of the fact that the state champion Frankfort five had all it could do to beat Vincennes 3 points. Watch our star forward, Staples. This is his first year on the first team but he scored a mere matter of ten field goals and three free throws for 23 points against the Alices. Fehrlng and Beck, veterans, make up the remainder of our offensive. DOGOY PHIL.
