Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK. Jan. 18. rSEE by the papers that a lederal enactment of law designed to eliminate the national thirst Is in the process of observing Its tenth anniversary and a cursory survey of the editorial comment touching thereon Is not as complete as it might be because no reference is made as to how the historic instrument has helped or hindered sports as the case might, be. 1 tio not profess to know whether sports under prohibition have been more salubrious from the viewpoint of government purists or not. but that in many athletic circles conditions have changed there can be small doubt. a a a Not all of eont'Kions have bern for fhr b#*t and in nomr Instance* tho * hanjrrs have br*n phTicat rather than moral, such a* in go'i locker room nuzzling has replaced mas* drinking at the club bar in much the same wav and hilarious spirit that the speakeasy moved in to function for the corner saloon. son lIU *.OINE the fight racket has felt the efiect of prohibition, r.nd what prohibition brought with it to a greater and more diversified extent than all the other sports, because in certain cauliflower centers the flow of easy gold elevated disreputable characters to positions of political and financial power and as a show front for their beer running and hi-jacking activities they have turned to the prize ring. Os course the personnel of the ficht Industry never ha* reached a pre-eminent plane of culture and honor, but it can not he denied than in contrast with the picturesque toughs of the old davs and the dangerous erlmiral element of today the former regime was much to be prelerred. a a a r DO NOT claim that all the lar1. ceny of recent years can be traced directly to the overlords of bootlegging who u: sport as a coverup and a mark of civic decency, but the records show that most of the faking and gambling hauls that a sluggish boxing judiciary managed to expose led to such a source. a a a Baseball does not seem lo have been fleeted in anv important wav by the legislation which made public swigging an ungodly act except that in sueh of the parka where bars flourished and it was possible to ruin one's Innards with frei pent dosagrs of bourhon the same opportunity is offered in the form of highly varnished sausages simmering in grease. a a a tt ts true of course that most of the parks had abolished the her before Mr. Volstead devised his padlock. This was done as a gesture to the dear ladies who were beginning to evince an interest in the sport: But there was a time when it was much easier to procure a Jolt or shot between innings than a glass of mineral water. a a a T RECALL ni this connection an A experience Billy Evans, the baseball magnate, had when he was breaking in as an umpire in the American League. In a game at the White Sox park in Chicago Evans was ca'lcd on to make a decision on a close play and his decision did not meet with the entire approval of the customers in the bleachers, who pror"cd°'l forthwith to heave empty half pint and pint bottles at the gentleman. o a a As I say. Evans w-.s Just breaking in af the time and rot being wholly acquainted with conditions or the behaviorism of erbwds he began looking around for the nearest exit. a a a Tt Is quite possible that Evans would have taken it on the lam. as the boys sav. if tt had not been for the sage counsel of his associate umpire, the veteran Jack Sheridan, who calmed his fears with the following words: "This is April. You have nothing to worry a*:out. These fellows haven't got any control vet. But don't stand out. here and let them peg at you in August.' a a tt Years later after all the bars had been abolished. Evans had the ironical experience to be hit on the head by a soda pop bottle in St. Louis with such violent effect that his skull was fracturpd and he lay in a hospital cot for many days fighting for his life. a a tt These incidents would seem to indicate that it is just as simple for the customer to work up a steaming rage on soft liquor as hard liquor and there is the added danger that the control at all times will be better.

Defensive Play Enables Butler to Trip Danville Bulldogs Avenge Previous Loss by 27 to 19 Victory; Normal Held to Four Field Goals.
BY VERN BOXELL Retaining possession of the ball most of the time and sewing up the flashy Danville offense with a spectacular man to man defense, Coach Tony Hinkle's Butler quintet romped to a 27 to 19 victory over Danville Normal at the fieldhouse Friday night af i: the Purple Warriors had advanced through nine games undefeated. The victory was the Bulldogs’ revenge for a 40 to 16 drubbing handed them by the Cookiren at Danville. Deadly accuracy in the opening minutes of play gave Butler a lengthy lead which the locals held throughout. In the opening minutes Butler shot four times and connected for s : x points. Hildebrand dropped a side attempt through on the opening heave of the game. He missed a second try, but on the third attempt, Tackett connected. Hildebrandt hit again on the fourth shot. Butler fired eight times at the hoop in the first eight minutes and scored eight points. So tight was the Butler defense that it was seven minutes before an invading player got a shot at the basket, and eleven minutes before Ginger Reeves dribbled through the entire Butler machine to score. The Bulldogs' lead of 11 to 1 was cut to 15 at 8 at the half time, Danville scoring six free throws. The game was one of the roughest seen here this season. Three men, two from Danville and one from Butler, were ejected on personals, and two others played with three. Fifteen fouls were called on Butler, and fourteen on Danville.

Stove League Chatter
SLATED to be the regular secondsacker for Cleveland tills year, Johnny Hodapp, who broke into league baseball with Indianapolis, seems to have supreme confidence in his ability to deliver right up to the handle for Roger Peckinpaugh. Hodee frequently visits the Hoosier capital, and has informed friends he never felt belter since taking up the diamond pastime as a profession. He
has become a certified mo r tician, and C 1 e v eland scribes now refer to him as the Cincinnati undertaker. Hodapp was developed by Ownie Bush and sold to Cleveland for a large sum of cash and several players, all of whom helped the Indians. He is listed as a mainstay clouter. He
' i'
started out in league ball as a shortstop, was shifted to third by Bush and went to Cleveland as a hotcorner guardian. He had little luck at that station in the majors, but found himself after being transferred to the keystone sack. Johnny :'s not backward about asking questions and he soon learned the finer points of his now job. Furthermore, it is said Eddie Sicking, also a resident of Cincinnati, has slipped Hodapp a few ideas this winter regarding fielding the difficult position. He batted .327 last year. tt tt a Mike Gonzales, veteran catcher, made a free agent by the Cubs, is manager and catcher for the Havana nine in the Cuban winter league.

Lively Action A large turnout of fans braved the weather Friday afternoon and night to take in the games, and were treated to some lively encounters. Southport was too powerful and had too much height for the fighting Castleton five and won. 42-20. Campbell and Waddell, with nine points each, were the high point men for the winners. Beaver was strong for the losers. New Augusta slipped over a 20-19 win over Acton in an exciting overtime struggle that for a time looked as if it might be a dope upset. The Acton team jumped into an early lead, and it was near the end of the half when New Augusta pulled up to a 11-11 tie. New Augusta pulled away to sixteen points in the second half before Acton scored, but Acton drew up and tied the count there and it remained deadlocked during the last five minutes. Fouls Decide It Foul line shots gave the victors the margin in over-time as each team scored one field / goal. Richwine and Roeder for New Augusta and Hicks and R. Murphy were the stars for Acton. Valley Mills, hardly expected to form opposition for Warren Central, surprised the fans and led 12-9 at the half. Central drew up and the score was tied several times in the second half. A field goal by Behrman In the over-time period settled the game, 20-19. Lawrence romped over West Newton, 28-19, and New Bethel held onto a firsthalf margain of seven points, 13-6, to win 23-20.

Lornski Popular Victor Despite Draw Decision
By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 18.—Ten rounds of competition between a slugger, James J. Braddock, and a boxer, Leo Lomski. which was called a draw here Friday night, failed to clarify the light heavyweight situation or the heavier division. The decision was announced amid boos and jeers of 5,030 fans. All apparently believed Lomski should have been given the verdict and the galleryites were supported by most of the ringsiders. Braddock knocked Leo to the floor in the second round with his famous right, but Lomski was up without a count. Lomski carried the fight and on blows landed was far in the lead. Braddock packed the stiffer wallop. The two judges were divided in their opinion and Referee Miller called the bout a draw. Scorers at the ringside gave Lomski seven rounds, one even, and the second and tenth for Braddock.
