Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—This community has received the staggering announcement that Sharkey and Scott are to fight in Miami next month instead of in this vicinity with all the mental agony and soul torture of a condemned prisoner who just has received word from the Governor that it was all a terrible mistake and would he mind hopping over to the mansion and splitting a tankard of hot tea? While the Sharkey person rates a fair sort of standing hereabouts, his business associate in the forthcoming Florida venture docs not rate at all, and if he never fights again around here it will be. as the amusing phase has it, quite too soon. a a tt ftharke* rcrornf/r* * certain formal responiibili: v to the customer** *nd when he is in th* mood and not ?ulte too bor*d with life in eeneral h* Is likelr to put up a reasonably spirited performance. nun But Scott is strictly a thoroughly schooled in the more sinister artifices of the craft and you never can tell Just when he i going to fold up on you and take the easy n av out. a a a THE chief reason nobody in New York cares whether Scott fights In Miami or Madagascar, as long as he doesn’t fight here again, is that, the impression still persists that he got away with murder when he claimed foul in the second round against Von Porat. leaving 20,001 customers and a $90,010 house with nothing to show for their investment beyond a simmering mclan choly and a growing realization that Barnum was more than correct. B B B What Scott ■alii do neain.M Sharkey is something else. Ratlns: him on his past performances he figures to pass out at the slightest manifestation of belligerency on the part of the Boston aob. There are fifthters who can't take It and fighters who won't. Scott seems qualified for memberblD in both fraternities. B B n Hi* eareer in this country has been singularly fortunate. Though obviously a third rater be was mainly instrumental In driving young Max Srhmeling. the best of the foreign heavyweights, bark to Germany This due to the strong political afTitiat or* of Jimmv Johnston, who alwavs has strings lo pull and pulls them with consummate shrewdness. B B a IT was thought that after the Von Porat fiasco. Scott definitely had disappeared from the heavyweight horizon, but William Muldoon, the venerable ornament of the boxing commission, insisted that the Britisher must represent England ;n competition for the Muldoon-Tun-ney trophy, an unimpressive piece of hallroom bric-a-brac that has been designated autocratically as the supreme and final symbol of heavyweight greatness throughout the world. B B B Possibly the only reason that China. Japan, Russia. Egypt and l.ittle Amrrica are not represented also in what remains of the eompetitions is that Muldoon doesn't know who the champions are in these places. At any rate he Is the only one who inshists that Philip fSuffering) Scott must come hack and help himself to more gate gravy. a b B I suppose this ts Just the old gentleman's way of playing practical Jokes. Like a million other fight fans he won’t have to be down there to sec it. Haw! Haw! Haw I PURDUE MATMEN LOSE Nebraska Grapplers Score Victory Over Boilermaker Athletes. Bu Time* Svecial LAFAYETTE.

PURDUE, INDIANA TO OPEN CONFERENCE SEASON

Teams to See Action Saturday Other Big Nine Squads Also to Face League Rivals. Eight Western Conference basketball teams will swing into action Saturday, three of them making their initial bids in the titular race Indiana and Purdue, “Hoosier Twins.” will make their first starts against league foes, the Boilermakers entertaining Michigan while the Hoosiers journey to Chicago. Wisconsin plays Ohio at Columbus and Northwestern goes to Minnesota for the other two encounters. The Michigan-Purdue struggle is listed as one of the mo,->t iinportan.. of early season tilts. Michigan, cochampions of 1929, are doped to repeal. sharing th * role oi invora with Northwestern. The Wolverines. wtih a heavy victory o'.er Minnesota. are tied with Illinois and Northwestern, who hold victorJ over Ohio State and Wisconsin respectively. for conference leadership at present. Purdue Di-appointment Purdue also was rated as a serious contender by pre-season dopesters, but the showing of the Lambert men in pre-conference gam s has not fulfilled expectations. Michigan will enter the game favorites, but the small Boilermakei gym and an improvement in the Lafayette quintet’s offensive ma chine may turn the tables. Indiana has lost four consecutive pre-conference contests, all by close scores. Notre Dame nosed out the Hoosiers by one point last Tuesday. Chicago, the first foe on the Crimson's conference card. played mediocre ball until the Butler game here, when they forced the national champions at top speed before dropping a 28 to 21 decision. Coach Norgren has made numerous changes in the Midway lineup, and the Marodhs now appear to be the ’dark horse” entry in the title race. Regarded as Toss-Up Saturday’s game at Chicago is re garded as a toss-up. Many figure the Deanmen "due” for a victory, especially in view to their continued improvement. Doc Meanwell's flashy little Wisconsin five still is considered in the race, despite the loss to Northwestern. The Badgers are doped to take Ohio State Saturday, while Northwestern is expecting little trouble from Minnesota. Former Indiana high school stars will play important roles in the games Saturday. The Indiana and Purdue teams are composed entirely of Hoosiers. while Northwestern is led by three players from this state, and Chicago has two stars who claim Indiana as their home. Bob Chapman, former team mate with Murphy at Marion, Ind.. is captain of the Michigan five. Journey to Northwestern Next Monday night Purdue will face a second favorite in the race when they Journey to Northwestern. Captain Rut Walters of Kokomo. Lockhart of Martinsville and McCames of Logansport are in the Wildcat lineup. Wooden, former teammate with Lockhart, will be at floorguard for Purdue; Porter, who played with McCames at Logansport, may get a forward berth, and the duel staged by Murphy and Walters in 1926, when they were scholastic rivals, will be renewed.' Michigan tackles Illinois in the other conference game Monday night.

Bu J nilnl Bn ns ST. LOUIS, Mo.. Jan. 10.—If Boston reports are correct. Manager Bill McKechnie of the Braves has an idea that George Sisler is about through as a regular first baseman. Sisler himself has an idea that some one is going to be fooled badly before spring training is over. George has heard that he is to serve as a pinch hitter and art as substitute for Johnny Neun, reportedly slated to be the Braves’ regular initial sack guardian. "How do they get that way?” asks George. ‘‘Are there any gray hairs in my head? Am I wrinkled?” The first point George advances in his favor is that lie still is a .300 hitter. Last year he was one .f the eleven players in the National League who got. over 200 hits.
