Talking It Over BY JOfc WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Jan. 3l.fr-Begins to appear as if life for me is futile and pointless. After el! these years people insist on taking me seriously, if at all. From this quarter and that I find I am looked upon as an expert. This Jars with my natural bent and inclination. Experts are serious-minded gentlemen with academic and historic backgrounds. They know something. For them I have nothing but the deepest respect. It is much more simple and convenient to be a clown writer. a a a The expert, for instance, tells you übn I* going U- win the big Sthl. Isoallv he is VTonr- Bw In rnojit s bis don* has loflctJ and at Uwt based on the law of averaccf. It was not his fault tb*4 T onn*** whipped Rating the two off tbe'r relative records Tunnev didn’t flraro to win. a a a YEN’ the figures seldom offer an accurate forecast. This is not the expert's fault. Somehow the figures always prove misleading. But the expert is always in there trying. That much you will have to say for him. Whereas the clown writer lights a cigaret, sips a highball, becomes smart-cracky and leads off with “while I am not an expert, my idea Is this .” Singularly, his idea turns out to be the v. nnlng one. More often than not he is right. BBS This 1* cnc of the distressing things about Ufa. It is never the well-informed bookkeeper who has toiled over the debit ar.d credit ledgers for vears who ascends to the presidency of the plumbing works. Nine times out of nine this product of the common orchard known as the plum goes to the young man with the blond sliekum hair in the outer office who helps the boss off with his overcoat each morning and tells him that he is getting to look mor- like Ronald Coleman every day. B B tt It is much the same at the rate track. The handteapert never cash ir on the 100 to 1 shots. They know what the nags ought to do by records, but when Bum Fetlock comes down In front nodding his modle to the customers In the paddock it is always some uninformed outsider that iocs the winning coupons. BUB THIS being so I have never tried to develop the expert urge, and when I learn that Mr. William Muldoon has read my column, or at least appropriated my idea, of a heavy-heavyweight division, or elephant division, in which only men | who are super men weighing 250 pounds or over may combat with each other, to the exclusion of all others, I become alarmed. U tt B This was suggested merely In a spirit of spact-filling levity and was not in- ■ tended to influence the great man of box-' 1 i g in cny w. v and though Mr. Muldoon, i in a recent court action, testified that hr never read anything I wrote, which was very crushing. I can not believe that he arrived at the same ridiculous premise without having read or heard of mv proposal.

Singer Battles Veteran Loavza for Title Match Young New York Contender Is 2-to-l Favorite Over Chilian in Bout at Garden Tonight.

BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YOKK, Jan. 31.—Paths of a fading veteran who twice competed for the world’s lightweight championship and a youngster regarded s-.s the boxer most likely to succeed Sammy Mandell as lightweight champion will cross at Madison Square Garden tonight, when A1 Singer of New York and Stanislaus Loayza of Chile meet in a tenround match. Loayza, who has been fighting since 1923, takes exception to the statement that he is "washed up’’ r.nd points out that he has engaged in only fifty-two bouts and that Singer has had more than

Stove League Chatter BY EDDIE ASH

ALWAYS a popular figure with the Yankees and valuable as a gate attraction in New York, Tony Lazzcri, Italian second baseman

from California, is putting the old feeler out for a salary hike in his 1930 con tr a ct. Poosh ’em Up is not making a loud squawk over the matter and seems to disdain being listed as a holdout, and the subject is unlikely to reach that state of disagreement with him. He has been well paid, plus some important world’s

series money, but It’s only natural for Tony to make an effort to reach for more. Italians in New York are loyal followers of Lazzeri and he has been the cause of making baseball fans grow in certain sections of Gotham where few existed before he came out of the west to settle down around the keystone sack at the Yankee play ground. The National League will have its Poosh ’Em Up this year in the agile form of Tony Cuccinello, w r ho graduated from Columbus to the Cincy Reds.

that number of fights. However, all of Loayza’s fights have been hard battles while most of Singer’s have been little more than exercise gallops and the betting men have made Singer a 2 to 1 favorite. Loayza’s style forces him to take punishmenv every time he goes into action. He is a “buzz-saw” type of fighter, willing to take two punches to land one. Singer, a protege of Benny Leonard. retired undefeated lightweight champion, is patterning his career after Benny’s. By scoring a decisive victory over Loayza, Singer will assure himself of a titular bout with Sammy Mandell.

That more than $1,500,000 has been distributed in cash prizes, diamond and gold medals since 1901. That the players seeing action were represented by 24,761 five-man teams, 49.546 two-man teams and 98,334 individuals. Thirty-two new Brunswick regulation tournament alleys are used in the A. B. C. classics. The alleys are sixty feet from foul line to head pin, with a runway of fifteen feet. Regulation balls weigh sixteen pounds and the average weight of each pin is three pounds four ounces.

Chicago Is Anxious to See Primo Camera in Mid-West Debut Tonight Against Rioux; Draws 23,000. BY BERT DF.MBY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 31.—“Poonch! Pocnch!” That is what Primo Camera says he will do to I .nr Rioux tonight. “I keel the big bum!” And that is what Rioux says he will do to Primo. So, there you have the last minute statements of the two principols in Chicago's imminent elephant weight battle. Although it has little or no bearing on the present scramble for the heavyweight ring title, the fight has brought out fistic interest, the like of which Chicago has not seen since that September night in 1927 when Dave Barry proved he could count up to fourteen. The fans think Camera will win and it was possible to get almost any odds asked if one wanted to bet on Rioux. Possessing more color than any heavyweight since Jack Dempsey, Camera has the whole town anxious to see him and officials of the Chicago Stadium believe for once they will sell all of the 23.000 seats for a gate of $50,000 to $70,000. The fight itself may or may not be worth watching. But that matters not, the fans want to see Camera.

IN a letter to Jimmy Cafouros, Indianapolis mascot, Trainer Jim Pierce, at Sarasota, says there are many tourists in the Florida west coast city and that the Hotel Sarasota terrace, where the Indians will stay this spring, is the real article. a a a Sarasota baseball boosters bad a big inning at Pierce’s expense recently by having printed an announcement telling of the “signing” of “Pierce’s aet” by the mammoth Ringling circus, which winters there. The announcement, in part, follows: “The amusement-loving public will see one of the most startling, thrilling and stupendous spectacles when Mr. Pierce appears twice dally in the center arena, turning three (31 “summer-salts” from the rear of & swiftly moving laundry wagon. This act alone will be well worth the price of admission. No expense was spared in securing this dare-devil feature for the public.” 9 m m Young players get a break in the Mississippi Valley League, Class D.

The New York Yankees, most popular of all major outfits during the rehearsal season, have worked ont in St. Petersburg, Fla., several years and will be back there this spring, but in 1931 Florida will find California in the running to gain the Yankee camp. 999 COAST League officials, believing the Yanks, with Babe Ruth, form a super attraction, have launched a move to get Bob Shawkey’s pastimers out there one year from now, and Wrigley field, Los Angeles, will be offered for the camp as a bait. And there isn’t anything in Florida to compare with that Angel plant. 9 9 9 The California idea is to have Yankees, Pirates and Cubs play a series of exhibition tilts in 1931 at Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland.

Ramblers Upset in Overtime Boilermakers Win, 25-20. in Thrilling Tilt; Murphys Share Honors. B.u Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 31.-The mighty have fallen—Purdue basket tossers brought down with a crash the great Loyola quintet of Chicago, which previously had registered thirty-four consecutive victories without a defeat in two years. The score of the game played here Thursday was 25 to 20, but it took an overtime period to make it that. Up until the final gun, it was anybody’s ball game. The two teams battled furiously, and the lead changed hands several times. Even after the Boilermakers had assumed a five-point lead in the overtime, the Ramblers were dangerous. Two Charlies Attract The two Charles Murphys formed the colorful background of a colorful game, and each acquitted himself well. While the Loyola captain outscored his rival nine points to five, he was forced to share floor honors with “Stretch” of the Boilermakers, who played one of the best games of his long career. With Murphy connecting on two-one-hand pivot shots from the free throw line, Loyola assumed a 6-0 advantage at the outset. Harmeson, Boots and Murphy featured in a rally which put the Boilermakers on top, 14 to 7 at the half, however. In the second period, Loyola came back, led by Durburg, who registered three shots from the center of the floor. Murphy of Loyola brought the score to 20 to 19, Purdue, with a field goal. He missed a chance to win the game when he connected on only one of two attempts from the free throw line in the last minute after being fouled by Murphy of Purdue. Wooden Shines Wooden scored his only field goal in the overtime, but played a brilliant game, feeding the ball to Murphy and Harmeson. Keller connected from the field, and Boots made a free throw to end the overtime scoring. Loyola lost at the free throw line, connecting on but two of ten gratis throws, while Purdue made five of nine attempts.

Double Broadcast Given

Many Indianapolis radio basket fans were frantic Thursday when they failed to locate the PurdueLoyola game on the air, but it was there on two stations, although it was an unusual broadcast. WBAA, the Purdue station, started its broadcast at 7:15, but another station knocked it out of most set in Indianapolis. WIBO, Chicago, was unable to release its microphone to the sponsors of the big contest on its station at the early time the game got under way owing to national hook-up programs, but WIBO finally came on the air with the basketball deta’l at 8:30. The Chicago sponsors telegraphed complete details from the Purdue gym to Chicago and broadcast from these reports. The fact that WBAA was overpowered in Indianapolis caused most of the confusion. Fans who kept tuning in on WIBO eventually were rewarded.

Winning the rolloff of a tie game enabled the Steele Shoe Shop to take three from the Blacker Chili in the Elks League play at the club alleys. The La Fendrlch also won three from the Anheuser-Busch, while the Cut Rate and Mueller-Nash lost two to the Smith Baking and White Star Gas. Widner had three games that were consistently good, securing a total of 665 with counts of 222, 220 and 223. Marshall rolled 639 and Stark 602. Two-time wins ruled the play In the EmKoe League, the Radio and Athletic quintets deleating the Tackle and Gun teams. Two-time wins also were in order In the Prest-O-Llte series, the Transportation.

OPPONENTS of the delayed offense. which, in some instances and by some fans, is called the “stall,” will be interested to know they have a champion, and an active one at that. Over at Heidelberg university, somewhere in Ohio, Herman Sayger is the director of athletics. It seems that Herman is not altogether pleased with ' the trend of modem basketball. Somewhere he has picked up a great dislike for the slow-breaking, mechanical type of hardwood pastiming, now in vogue. So, suiting the action to the word, Herman has worked out a solution, which may sound plausible to him. but which to us is an attack upon the very fundamentals of basketball. 9 9 a Sayger’s idea Is this: Any player on either side can shoot at either goal at an> time, depending only on his physical ability to throw the ball the necessary distance. Think of all the possibilities that leaves open. 9 9 9 To keep the game from becoming too fast, players will be allowed to dribble only one time. If a player is fouled when not in possession of the ball, he takes possession of it out of bounds instead of getting a free throw. 9 9 9 AND the poor referee. Under this new plan, the officials would be given absolute power. If the ball falls through the nets during a heated scuffle under the basket. and the referee is in doubt which side scored it, he rules a jump ball at the foul line. Looks like a great season for razz-berries. 9 9 9 Loyola’s zone defense wouldn’t be much good in this type of game. The teams would be forced to guard the entire floor. The tip-off also is eliminated under this plan, the team scored on taking possession of the baii out of bounds. 9 9 9 This Idea isn’t exactly anew one. It was suggested several years ago, but this is about the first time that it has been considered even slightly seriously. 9 9 9 BACKBOARD’S opinion is that Sayger has started in the wrong direction. He’s due for a lot of laughs and guffaws. So was Jules Verne, though. But to us, eliminating defensive play in basketball would be like forcing the opposing linemen to lie fiat on their stomachs in a football game, or eliminating second and third bases, and having the batter run to first and back again in baseball. 9 9 9 That’s about all we know, except that if you're interested, you might drive to Tiffin, 0.. and see two freshmen teams demonstrate it Saturday night. 9 9 9 Up in Marion, where, since the days of Murphy and Chapman, a basketball player over 6 feet taU has been a rarity, they are boasting of rival for Jack Mann, WRESTLING j Tomlinson Hail Friday, Jan. 31 BULL MONTANA the original Ape man of the mo\ie& 1 charlie'peterson light heavyweight champion of the world. | JIMMY DEMETRAL Greek champion TONY HAJDICK sl—sl.so—s2 Tickets on sale Arcade gym, 2114 S.
