Talking It Over BY’ JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Feb. 3. THE boys are beginning to apply the heat to the Sharkey-Scott thing, which is to be mercilessly exposed for the Florida resort trade late this month. Considering what they have to work with I must say my colleagues who are already on the ground are doing right well. True they have not confected anything startlingly original so far, but they are in there trying. That was m neat touch having Mrs. Sharkey and the children—kiddies, I believe they were referred to in the press dispatches from Miami Beach—pacing the head of the family as he trudged bravely through Flamingo perk doing his road work. a an This iiiffiUMj rrrtllrd the llvelr Interest Kate JalUn owil to Uhf In the prebattle preparations of her husband, the late Rob Fitzsimmons and as yon may hare noted the boy* were aery quirk to stress the parallel. Asa neat aid to the ballyhoo Mr. James Johnston has arranged to bate his man. Scott, adopted by the Edward Buttons of Palm Beach, the Edward Huttons being away up there In the money and the clasa. a a a SCOTT will go through his training gestures before the exclusive set, during the cocktail hour and I have a notion that this will be a break both for the exclusive set and Scott, because I am told that after the ninth or tenth round of cbcktatls a certain mellowness and I tolerance is engendered In the human soul and under such circumstances Scott Is likely to look very heroic. a a a This was on* of th* factor* which contributed to the artistic success of the Florida fight a year ago. Though the Mesara. Strlbllng and Sharker did not fight with enough honest ardor at any time during the ten round to arouse the envy of a belligerent bumming bird, a large number of portly persons In hard boiled shirts left the premises completely satisfied, If not In a perfect glow of enthusiasm. ana THERE is a mounting social rivalry between Miami and Palm Beach, and in view of this condition it is rather surprising to hear that the Edward Huttons are sponsoring a prize fighter because after the fight of a year ago the residents of Miami Beach voted against any further exploitations of this character and as a consequence the Madison Square Garden Corporation was compelled to move its j arena from the exclusive suburban i section into the city proper. ana There was no specific objection to the upegtacl* itself, hut when the property owners found such gentlemen of refinement a* Irxy the Egg. Pete the Gnat. Texas Bed. Joe the Gonllf and One Eye Connolly cluttering up their decorous lawns it was decided that It would be for the best if the locale were changed. a a a A year ago the ballyhoo centered largely in th* person of Jack Dempsey who moved In to function as a show window for the Garden outfit after the death of Rickard. The spectacle of Dempsey carrying on as a promoter for his deceased friend carried a sentimental touch and the practical persons who had their tied up In the enterprise saw that the angle was translated into a turnstile appeal. DEMPSEY became quite a figure ; and moved with an easy i aplomb and grace among the beach aristocrats who found in him something of an interesting contrast after their chaste experiences with the more dignified Tunney. But even Mr. Dempsey did not escape criticism. For one thing Mr. Dempsey with hfs Democratic and cosmopolitan ways has a strange, unkempt following and some of the gentlemen who associated with him in a personal and business capacity during his occupancy of a swank beach home did not quite measure up to ! the social demands of the set. a a a Also Mr. Dempsey I* natural showman and when hr resorted to a melodramatic device to give a frrv h Impetus to the ballyhoo it failed to strike a popular note of civic approval. It was agreed that It Mr. Dempsey felt the necessity of attrading additional attention to this project ha should have settled on a less desperate plan than having himself shot at by early morning assay. ins.

THE funeral of Pongo Joe Cantillon was held at Janesville, Wis.. today and thousands of baseball men and fans throughout the nation felt the loss of a real entertainer.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

for a man of his size. North Carolina has produced a southern Conference championship team in four of the last eight seasons. The Tarheels are coached by Jim Ashmore, veteran basketball mentor. Ashmore formerly coached in Indiana at De Pauw university.

The anger of lowa backers was aroused by the faculty committee resolution which advised the university against applying for a rehearing on the cases of thirteen athletes who were declared ineligible because they had borrowed money from a trust fund. Despite the fact the Hawkeyes institution had not made another formal plea for reinstatement, the faculty committee of the conference after a four-hour session in Chicago Saturday unanimously adopted a resolution permitting the lowans to resume athletic relations with the other nine schools of the loop. The action of the conference, se cret in all respects, came as a surprise. There was little doubt among those who claim to be ‘in the kijow” that the conference took the action because of fear that lowa would be further penalized by the North-Central Association of Colleges and Universities.

BY VERN BOXELL

WHATTA Mann! Whatta Mann! Early this season, while looking over his prospects for the 1929-30 campaign (and they weren’t any too bright just then), Raymond Jolly, the former Newcastle star who forgot his home town pride long enough to sign a contract as hardwood coach at Muncie, ran across this man Mann. At that time it took a lot of courage to predict that this big dusky boy would make a star basketball player. But any Newcastle person who has anything to do in a basketball way with Muncie, must have supreme courage. So Mr. Jolly, who has developed such stars as Secrist, Yohler, Parr and others, undertook the strenuous task of teaching Mann what it was all about, apparently without fear. In the first few games, the rugged six foot four player was disappointing. And if you remember, Muncie lost quite a few games about this time. Then Mann started to deliver, and today, Mr. Jolly’s courage has been rewarded. Os course, Marion, playing without Casey, their dusky star, didn’t provide much of a test, but Mann showed his power by leading the Bearcats to a 42 to 24 triumph over the Giants Saturday. He assures Muncie of more than an even break in tip-offs against any center in the state, is fast enough to keep up with Swift and Davidson, two mighty neat forwards with exceptional speed, and is the backbone of a tight defense. He broke up more Marion drives than any other two men on the floor, including Iserman and Traster, a pair of speedy guards. Mann is the key to Muncie’s offense, handling the ball in the opponent’s foul circle, feeding his forwards and then doing some neat blocking. If one of these sharpshooting forwards miss, and Mann crashes through for a follow in attempt, look out.
