Talking \t Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

Bv Vnilrd Prrxx NEW YORK. Jan. B—A young man from Pittsburgh wishes this department to advise him as to the merits of a certain correspondence school in this city specializing on instructions in boxing— Which reminds me of the only correspondence boxing school graduate I ever saw in action— And. by way of proving that the mail order professors had done plenty to build up his courage the athlete in question decided to start his career against none other than old John Dempsey, the man killer. ft tt ft Thin *** In II fndrrtiontillf.

BABE RUTH IS FIRST HOLDOUT OF 1930 SEASON

Huge Sum Demanded by Slugger Home Run King Asks for $85,000 Contract for Three Years. BY GEORGF. KIRKSEY United Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. B.—Babe Ruth, baseball's highest-paid employe, today became the first holdout of the 1930 season. Ruth asked the Yankees for a three-year contract at $85,000 a year at an unexpected conference Tuesday and the proposal was turned down by Colonel Jacob Ruppert, club owner. Ruth previously had turned down two offers by Colonel Ruppert. The first offer called for a one-year contract at $70,000 and the other a twoyear contract at $75,000 a year. Ruth's previous salary was $70,000 a season. L’p to Yankees After the conference Ruth announced he and his wife would leave for Florida Saturday and that it was up to the Yankees to make the next move. It seems that the three-year angle is the crux of the disagreement, and not Ruth's demand for $85,000. Ruth, it is believed, can get the $85,000 if he is willing to sign a oneyear contract. From the present attitude of Colonel Ruppert it is doubtful if he will relent and meet Ruth's demands for a three-year contract. “Colonel Ruppert doesn’t think it is good business to sign Ruth up for three years," said Secretary Barrow. "He may be good in 1930, but who can say how he will be in 1931 and 1932? All the averages are against him being able to complete another three years as he has the last.” Will Be 36 Soon Ruth has been playing professional baseball for sixteen years and will be 36 on Feb. 7. He joined the Yanks in 1920. At the time of his transfer from the Red Sox, Ruth was drawing $9,000 a year. Ruth’s first big contract called for $52,000 a season and was for three years with a two-year option. After the close of the 1924 season the Yanks exercised this option. In March. 1927, he signed a three-year contract calling for $70,000 baseball’s highest salray. exceeding Commissioner Landis’ stipend by $5,900. SHEA STOPS KOSKY Tii.i Vnited I’ri xx ST. LOUIS. Jan.

[ The Wolverines, with Northwestern, are favorites to repeat their | title performance this year. At the j start of the pre-conference season i Lambert's quintet also was rated as a favorite, but their early performances have been disappointing. But-

! victory over Wells of Logansport. and you can turn it around without losing the effect. The Berries hold one decision over the state champs | this season, but were forced to forfeit when Steinmetz was declared ineligible. Frankfort has lost Armen- ! trout, veteran back guard, since the j first engagement, so the strength appears about even again. Frank-fort-Logansport battles usually are classics, who has forgotten that 10-to-7 tilt of two years ago? tt tt a Speaking of Frankfort reminds us that Lawhead, who has starred as forward with | the Hot Dogs for three years, has left the ! bachelor ranks. Lawhead recently announced his marriage to a prominent Frankfort girl, which took place last July. Shimmy" Unroe of last year's champions ! set the precedent for Lawhead.

talk about. He has produced some of the outstanding football, basketball. baseball and track stars in the history of the state. Pete has attended several of Butler's recent games, and that he is planning a little surprise party for the Hinklemen Friday is no secret. a a Vincennes, victors in three hard tilts last wi-vk and regarded as one of the fastest improving teams in the state, will attempt to check Martinsville’s recentlystarted victory march when they invade the Artesian city Friday. This contest, with the veterans Adams and Curtis at the helms will vie with the Berry-Hot Dog battle for state interest. a a Two basketball players are among 1 the six Russiaville boys held in jail jat Kokomo on robbery charges. There is no truth in the report they ; will claim they were influenced by a referee, according to A1 Wynkoop j of Lebanon. tt tr n ONE of the far northern quintets moving at a fast clip, yet miss- ' ing public acclaim, is La Porte. The Slicers have registered six consecutive victories, five against Bix Six- ; teen foes. This week they will face Goshen and South Bend, top-notch-ers in that district and rivals of long standing. Both games will be played at La Porte. ana Hi-raee Mann took another tumble Tuesday night, losing by two points to Frankfort. This doesn't look so good for the nrtherners in view of the Hot Dogs' strenuous schedule during the past two weeks and their long trek to Gary. It i must have been some game, though, and the 18 to 16 seore indicates both teams used the “delayed offense.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Important Basket Struggle Between Rivals. ler and Montana. State hold victories over the Boilermakers, who have defeated Washington of St. Louis and Vanderbilt. An interesting feature of the affair will be an individual battle between co-Captain Stretch Murphy of Purdue, all-Conference center, and Captain Bob Chapman of Michigan, who was awarded all-Confer-ence forward honors last season, although he played center. They were teammates on the Marion high school state champions of 1926. Chapman is jumping center and dropping to back guard this season. Kanitz and Orwig, forwards; Truskowski at center and Lovell at floor guard complete the blue and maize lineup. Weiss, midget sophomore, and Downing may displace Kanitz and Lovell in the starting lineup. In additions to Murphy. Lambert will have Co-Captain Harmeson and Porter at forwards and Boots at back guard. The return of Johnny Wooden to his floor guard duties is expected to strengthen the locals. Michigan already has one conference victory, defeating Minnesota last Monday night.

Sharkey to Face Scott at Miami Contracts Are Signed for Ring Battle in Florida on Feb. 27. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. B.—The first definite step toward establishing a world's heavyweight champion to succeed Gene Tunney will be taken at Madison Square Garden at 3 p. m. today when contracts will be signed for a ten-round bout between Jack Sharkey of Boston and Phil Scott, heavyweight champion of England, at Miami, Fla., Feb. 27.

It is expected that the English champion will arrive in New York within tw r o weeks.

Soutar Wins Laurels

BY DICK MILLER Indiana certainly has a welldressed golfer advertising the Hoosier state on Florida courses this winter. Word has trickled in that George Soutar, veteran instructor and pro at the Broadmoor Country club, recently came into the __ possession of anew golfing outfit by demonstrating some high class putting ability at Miami. George, who is head professional at the Hollywood Beach Hotel and

Country Club, took time to go over to Miami and engage in a putting contest in which such golf celebrities as Gene Sarazen, Jack Hutchison, Laurie Ayton, Cyril Walker and others were part of a field of 100.

thrilling eight-rounder two weeks ago, a bout that practically “stole” the show. They stepped at top speed all the way in that encounter and Monday’s battle promises to be a duplication. Billy Bowers, Indianapolis middleweight, and Soldier Borman, Ft. Harrison, two maulers who staged four rounds of slugging in last Monday’s opener, are rematched over the same distance. Their last scrap had the fans wild with excitement because of the “back alley” manner in which the sluggers exchanged punches. Another match brings together Harry Babrick and Jimmy Fox, local flyweight flashes, who fought to a draw' two weeks ago. There was action galore in their previous bout, and next Monday’s match should witness the same milling, for the youngsters are natural rivals. Dick Porter, Anderson, and Hamp Williams, this city, two popular and willing junior lightweights, are carded for a “four,” and there Is to be one more bout over the same route which will open the show at 8:30.
