Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Dec. 13. ADDRESSING the City Business Club of Philadelphia, Frank Wiener, chairman of the Pennsylvania state boxing commission, told his audience thr.t prize fighting as it is currently exhibited is neither a sport nor a business. “It is just a racket,” he insisted. Regrettably, there is nothing in the news dispatches to indicate whether Wiener supposed he was revealing an original indictment or whether his audience, upon hearing these damning words, fell back into postures of horrified silence. Prize fighting — or certain phases of it—has been a racket for a great number of years. tt tt tt I think the hirhtftt tribute that can be paid to the intrinsic values of the sport It that It continues to survive in the face of repeated frauds, mounting corruptions, and interminable hippodromes. There must be something worth while about a sport that can outlast such collossal abuse. IN recent years the low puncher and the deliberate fouler have moved in to complicate matters and place high premiums on sharp pracj tices. In the old days it was a rarity iv.'hen an important fight ended with one of the principals on the floor claiming a foul and the other walking to his corner jabbering hysterical apologies. tt tt tt Some of the rreatest flerhters the rme • ver knew went through their entire career* without losine or winninr a flicht • •it , low punch. And this was at a time when such modern devices as inflated protector* and aluminum cups were unknown. Bet today you have first flight fighters with records showing they have been barred for fouling as often as seven and nine times.

NOT all low punches are intententlonally struck. But I am convinced a great majority of them are. Normally it is far easier to land a fair punch than a foul punch. a it tt Fouling ha* become so prevalent, and in •Ame circles so studied as a means to a desirable end that the gambling gentrv lay* it* wagers accordingly. Most bets {•day are laid on the basis that in the movent of a foul no money changes hands. This arrangement can and has been distorted into a beautiful sure thing proposition. It work* this way: The backers of "A'’ bet on their man to beat “B.” but stipulate that if a foul occurs the bets are off. Possibly "A” figures to win legitimately, but on this occasion “B’’ surprises him and it is obvious that he can not win. This is too bad. but a low punch will at least save the bets. So whango! Over goes the low 'One and “A” is conveniently disqualified. Ut Is all very simple, and easy, and nobody -Is ever punished severely. tt tt tt And by the way isn't it about time that the boxing commission of the country Estopped trying to curb fouling by the infliction of trivial suspensions and set about to protect old Gus H. Fan who in the end is always the fall guy when a fight is .ruined by a low punch that ends the show ahead of its scheduled limit? Rudolph Leads in Cue Tourney B v Vnitrd Press ? DETROIT, Dec. 13.—At the end hf the fourth day of the world’s Championship pocket billiard tournament, Erwin Rudolph was still leading with two victories and no defeats. The real surprise has been Marcel Camp, youthful Detroiter, who now is tied with Frank Taberkki, defending champion, as the result of a sensational victory of Greenleaf, former champion, Thursday night. Camp won 125 to •| 13 in twenty-three innings. Taberski defeated Joseph J. McJiann 125 to 31 in twelve innings, and Spencer Livsey of Los Angeles .defeated Pasquale Natalie of Detroit .25 to 96 in thirty-one innings.

Owner of Cards Builds Defense for Farm System in Baseball

Breadon Has Five Minors on His Side Major Ownership Approved by Several Presidents of Smaller Leagues. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Lnited Pr**s Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—A summary of the three-day session of the major leagues revealed today that the magnates evaded most of the important problems confronting them. More was left undone than was accomplished by the big league owners in their annual conclave which ended here Thursday. A brief resume of the situation follows: 1. The radio qurstion remains status quo. 2. The minor league farm system was widely discussed but no action was taken. 3. Nothing in particular was done about the lively ball except to pass a resolution instructing the baseball manufacturer to take the gloss off the cover. 4. Zoning of the parks to rut down on home runs was left untouched. 5. The deplorable Brooklyn controversy continues. 8. A resolution to inerease the number of players sent out on option from eight to fifteen, and the time from two to three years was approved. Before this rule becomes effective it must be approved by the minor leagues. President Sam Breadon of the Cardinals, largest chain store owner, has rushed to the defense of his pet plan, and has' five minor league presidents, including Dale Gear of the Western League and J. Alvin Gardner of the Texas League on record as approving the ownership of minor league teams by major league clubs. Only Two Trades

Only two trades were made at the major meetings and neither is likely to have any bearing on the pennant race. Grover Alexander and Catcher McCurdy were traded to the Phillies for outfielder Peel and pitcher McGraw by the Cardinals. Catcher Wally Schang was traded to the Athletics for third baseman Hale by the Browns. Pittsburgh sold Fred Fussell, brilliant southpaw prospect of two years ago, to the Buffalo internationls. Ray Schalk, former manager of the White Sox and last season coach of the Giants, will coach the Cubs next season. Johnny Evers, manager of the Braves last season, will occupy the role of scout for that club this season. Brooklyn Tangle Continues The outcome of the internal war at Brooklyn threatens to embarrass the entire National League unless it is soon settled. Until some agreement is reached between the warring factions, Brooklyn must remain without an official pilot for 1930 Wilbert Robinson’s contract as manager expires Jan. 1. The broadcasting of major league games is left strictly up to each club. The two major leagues were unwilling to make a ruling about the radio because some clubs want their games broadcast and others do not.

Scribes Halt Landis I’ll I nitea Picks NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—When Commissioner K. M.

Tech will have a chance to prove its class against the Muncie Bearcats at Ball Village in the feature event of the card. The Jolly men have been coming up in big strides and will give Campbell’s boys a stiff battle. The two men the Green quintet must stop are Mann, elongated Negro center who outplayed DeJernet, the Washington star, last week, and Davidson, a shifty little “dead-eye” forward. It will be the seventn meeting of the two teams, the Bearcats holding victories in six of them. Tech won the first engagement in 1920, but lost in 1922 and four years in a row' starting in 1926.

I feel certain that when your predecessor picked the Fighting Five last year, he knew that Frankfort teams were Just as cleanly organized and sportsmanlike as any team In the state.
