Talking It OvTr JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Jan. 22. AN officer on horseback pulled hts mount up alongside the curb in front of the tavern the other night and addressed a giant of a man in a belted tan ulster who stood on the sidewalk gazing into the star-sperkied spare. "Say. ain't you Tom Kennedy?” asked the law. “That’s whet they rail me." the giant of a man answered. ‘‘Well the lost time I saw you we were fakin' - our exams for a job on the force I'm Jerry Malone.” It was Mr. Malone all right and Kennedy knew him. They had been boyhood chums in First avenue many years ago. “I suppose it was just as well I didn't take a job on the force,” ir.rsed Kennedy. Probably it was Kennedy, fighter, tnevie star, promoter, has seen a lot of what the boys eall life since t>ose days, and he has made and lost more than one sizable fortune. a a a •si- dad about Tom Krnnfdi. he'll reteem'.e:- him as a Grappling voung IrishfttßTi who won the national heavyweight championship among the amateurs bark In ism.

McKetriek Wanted to start him against easier opposition. "There never was a ; square head that an Irishman 1 couldn t lick." insisted Kennedy. Kennedy's dad. in the trucking business, was fairly well to do, and ne didn't particularly like the idea of the young man going into the ; professional ring. tt a a •‘III jfjvr >u SIIUMWI and start vou in business if sou don't take this fight." j promised the elder Kennedy.

Kindred spirits, they soon ! developed a warm companionship and were together often. Kennedy chuckles when he recalls the morn- | ing the distinguished Pete the Goat, then Ketchel's trainer, called to get ; him up to do road work for an im- . portant fight less than a week away, j a a a Ketchel refused to open the door and ' the Broadway gentleman who Is known as j The Goat proceeded to kick it open But | before he could fully accomplish the busi- ; ness a shot rang out from within and . Mr. Goat departed therefrom with great j haste and no little pain. He had been shot through the foot. "A great fcilow. that Ketchel.” ruminates Kennedy. "He was always playing tricks.’

A story about Krtrhrl which Konncdv does not tell hut l appropriate here concerns bis battle with Millie I-cwis in a New York rine twentr years ago. Ketchel and Lewis were play hoys in the same social strata and when the match was made H was with the understanding that neither would *et hurt and both would be on their feet at the finish a a a FOR this fight the two young gents trained in the better class beer swills, and the glittering dance salons of the period. Indeed, on the very night of the fight it was necessary to delay the windup until the principals had slaked their thirst with wine in the dressing rooms The fight began and in the first round, either in jest or conspiracy. Lewis, a deadly sharpshooter with his right, tagged Ketchel on the chin and sent him flying into the ropes. A few seconds later the bell rang. a a a From hi* rorner Krtchrl bellowed across the ring to lewis: “Pick out your spot. V ou are going for a nice, lone nap." There was nolhine plaiful about Ketchel when the second round started. He walked to nidrine. feinted with his left, sent the ri-.ht crashing oyer and Lewis fell, knocked out colder than a Boston dow•eer's elare. e a a Ths fight occurred in May. In June, Ketchel fought his last fight. In October an assassin’s bullet in n Missouri farmhouse sent him to what the French call the Great Perhaps. Danville Cops Stallin'* Game P DANVILLE. Ind..

Myers Is \ ictor in Fast Bout Battle Tops Card of Action: Petrolla. Purvis on Next Program. "You can't whip a fellow you can't hurt.” This old adage bloomed throughout ten fast rounds of the main go at the Armory Tuesday night with the resultant vie ton - for Spug Mvers, Pocatello ‘ldaho) welterweight, over Billy Rose of Cincinnati. Rose couldn’t hurt Myers. His heaviest artillery slid off the Idaho boy's mug like water off a duck. It was a trade-fest of body and head punches from gong to gong and climaxed splendidly a card of real "on-your-toes" bouts. Myers won six rounds, two were even, with Rose on the heavy end of two frames. Only a hair's breadth separated Georgie Nate, South Bend bantamweight, and Kid Woods, Indianapolis, at the end of their sixround semi-windup. Woods finished fast to cop the verdict. Willard Brown, Indianapolis lightweight, easily bested Frank Gierke in six. Being a glutton for punishment enabled Lon Lovelace. Terre Haute, to weather six rounds with Paul Parmer, Anderson lightweight. Parmer knocked Lovelace down three times. In the opener, Sonny Mitchell, Indianapolis feather, shaded Rough House Blankenship, Indianapolis, in three of their four-rounder.

OFF R VCKBOARD THE BY VERN BOXELL

BUTLER'S high-powered offense will face one of the most famous defensive formations in collegiate court circles when the Bulldogs oppose Loyola university here Friday night. The Chicago quintet, undefeated in thirty-one games, employs a mass zone cefense. Under this system, the p’ayers shift with the ball, playing in close formation, and following the ball rather than the individual players. a a a This is the defense which it was rumored Coach Piggy lambert of Purdue had asked the JVindv City five not to use against the Boilermakers. Piggy denied this later, however. tt tt tt Loyola will be out for blood. The last time they were defeated was back in 1928—and their conauerors then were none other than the Butler Bulldogs. a a a And in Charles Murphy (no relation to the Purdue giraffe), Loyola has one of the outstanding hardwood pastimers in the country. In fact, he has been mentioned along with the Boilermakers’ “Stretch” as an all-American candidate. Inci-

In the last period, the capital city quintet continued to increase its lead and Coach Hinkle sent in a reserve lineup to finish the game. Hildebrand led the scoring for Butler with seventeen points, but the work of Christopher, Allen, Hosier and Tackett also was commendable. Ragsdale topped the Old Gold point makers with thirteen. Moffett, Crawley and Stunkel also performed well. Mountz, center, and Stunkel, back guard, left the game in the second period on personal fouls. Preceding the De Pauw victory, Butler had lost two games on their I opponent’s floor and won ten on j their home court. Hinkle and his squad returned to I Indianapolis, and today were to be- ; gin preparations for the tilt with Loyola of Chicago, one of the great- ; est teams of the midwest.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ONE of the stellar performers on Coach Dean’s Indiana university hardwood machine is Claron (Lefty) Veller, midget floor guard. Veller is the only junior playing on the Crimson varsity, and is one of the smallest guards in the conference. He will see action Thursday night at Bloomington when the Hoosiers meet the strong Wisconsin five in an attempt to stay in the Big Nine race. The former Linton star is a. steady player and although his scoring is topped by a trio of teammates, can be counted on to come through in the pinches. Against Northwestern. Veller led the Crimson point-makers. He teams well with Blagrave, elongated sophomore back guard, on defense and provides power in the Hoosiers’ offense.

i dentally, the Murphy championship 1 of the mid-west will be settled with I Loyola and Purdue clash at Lafayette, Jan. 31. a an MARION’S dislike for Kokomo has been greatly increased by j the disappearance of the Giants’ I victory flag during the battle with ; the Wildcats at Kokomo last Saturday. Judging from a Marion writer’s story, the Giant fans feel worse about losing the banner than they did over dropping the game. a a a \ H. C. Warren, the inimitable South Bend J scribe, turns humorist in picking his weekly Big Ten His latest attempt is most weakly. “Pi'’ names Washington, Anderson, Martinsville. Frankfort. Horace Mann, Jeff of Lafayette, Columbus, Muncie. Delphi and Vincennes. Jeff defeated another second team, and they’re in sixth place. Connersville, who held Columbus to a two point overtime win; Logansport. whose second team has been defeated a couple of times, and Tech, who held Martinsville, his third place team, to a one point win on ths Artesian's floor and the next night, held his fourth place team, Frankfort, to a four point margin, aren’t even mentioned. Funny thing is, some people will believe him. a a a A Washington scribe is the authority for the statement that Lawhead of Frankfort is a better basketball player than Suddilh of Martinsville, and that Englehart of Washington has it ail over either of them. That has the ear marks of a wise crack. There isn't a more polished player in the state than Suddith, and none so valuable to>his team. a a tt This same Washington writer, speaking of the Vincennes team which won thirtytwo games a few years ago and then lost early in the state tourney, says: “Weil venture that you remember who won those thirty-two games and you don't know who won the state tourney that season." a a a Meaning, evidently, that Washington fans won’t cry over spilt milk if the Hatchets win the remainder of their scheduled games and then get knocked off in one of the elimination tournaments. We’ll agree with Everett Case, Keith Crown, Tim Campbell, Cliff Wells and some of these “holdout” coaches, that the best time to start a winning streak is about the middle of February. a a a It was the thirteenth game, so Butler broke the foreign floor jinx by soring thirteen field goals and thirteen fouls to drop De Pauw. a a a Central of Evansville will play two state champions this week-end.

Yankee Boss Predicts Babe Will Be on Job as Usual No Serious Trouble Expected, Ruppert Says; Big Fellow Too Valuable to Be Cut Lo6se.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Jan. 22.—Babe Ruth will not be traded or sold as long as he is of any value to the New York Yankees, Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the club, said today. Neither will the other American League clubs be allowed to contribute $5,000 each to Ruth’s salary, Ruppert said. These two discussions are outgrowths of Ruth’s demand for a three-year contract at $85,000 per season which Colonel Ruppert maintains he will not meet. Ruth has been offered a two-year contract at $75,000 a season. “There is not a chance of Ruth being traded to another club either in the role of player or manager as long as he continues to hit home

We have paid Ruth $530,000 in salary since he has been with the Yankees and I have never asked help from any other clubs. ‘‘ln regard to his new contract I think that Ruth has been ill-ad-vised. He knows he can draw the largest salary in baseball for 1930 and 1931. and if he can play as well in 1932 as when he first became a Yankee he will be duly rewarded. I do not expect we will have any serious trouble in signing Ruth for next season.”
