Stove League Chatter BY EDDIE ASH

THE New York Yankee manager. Bob Shawkey, says his club may be good or it may be terrible, but regardless of victories or defeats, Bob promises his pastimers

will have the right spirit and keep hustling. Bob the Gob believes enough young talent has been inserted to assure competition for the veterans and to keep them on their toes, and he mentions o u tflelder Cooke, third baseman Chapman, outfielder Byrd and pitcher Gomez as

the best of the newcomers. Byrd was used frequently in the New York lineup last season and in 170 times at bat hit .322. Cooke and Chapman were sluggers with St. Paul and Gomez starred on the mound in the Coast League. Shawkey holds to the opinion the Yankees are the only team in the league with a chance to head off the Athletics. Other clubs that have bolstered have too far to go to menace the Mackmen, according to Bob. tt tt tt A small, but talented part of Indianapolis occupied a Chicagooound sleeper Thursday night consisting of Owen J. Bush, White Sox manager, and Bernard Michael Kelly, new Sox coach. Spring training lor Ownie and Mike has begun and they will be away from the home town until April 9 when Sox and New York Giants stop off here for an exhibition. BUSH will lead his squad of White Hose pastimers out of the Windy City Saturday at 11 a. m. for San Antonio, where rehearsal exercises will start at St. Mary’s college Monday. His two ace flingers, Lyons and Thomas, signed up a few days ago and it is ;;aid Owner Comiskey was forced to give them $15,000 each. They room together and probably 'wo-timed the boss. a a a Barney Mike Kelly had an experience in baseball that perhaps stands alone. He r a ught (or two American Association clubs in the same came one day In 1918. the last conlest of the season ahbreyiated by •he war. He was behind the bat for Toledo at the start of the fray and finished ■ atehlnir for Lonisvllle. And the following day Mike reported to Uncle Sam at Camp Taylor. a a tt It was a double-header at Louisville July 18 and Kelly was with the Hens. Bresnahan was Toledo manager and part time catcher and chose to work behind the plate for his club In the first tilt, saving Kelly for the second. Age had sapped Brcsnahan’s endurance. He was exhausted after nine innings and between games retired to the club house and sought to cool oil and rest by frequent dosages of bottled beer. And the second game got under way with Kelly catching for Toledo and Meyer for Louisville. a a a IN the early Innings Meyer was iniured and could not continue — and he was Louisville's only backstop. for all ball clubs had depleted ranks by that time, as each daysaw one or more players called to the army. Manager Clymer was up against it, and after a conference and agreement Kelly was loaned to Louisville to finish out the contest, and the worn and puffing Bresnahar returned to action for Toledo. And as Kelly recalls It, he helped Louisville win, 7 to 2, with Adolfo Luque pitching. a a a flack Wilson will have to do some hustling on Catalina island this spring during ♦he Cubs’ training grind. He weighs 215, which Is too much even if he fs built like fire plug. And the name Hack was coined from Haekensehmidt. the wrestler, and not because Wilson resembles a hack—rear view. o a a When Hack was in court the other day fighting a damage suit, the attorney for the plaintiff referred to him as a ‘‘center baseman.” Os course the plaintiff lost the case. And anyway, the judge was an old-time ball player and the popular Gabby Hartnett was chief witness for the defense. U tt tt BAN JOHNSON is another who thinks air transportation development eventually will extend the big leagues to California and Mexico. It will be a long time, htough, before club owners will consent to transporting all their high priced eggs in one basket. Humpty Dumpty hever came back! a a a Cotton Tierney, leagner and war vet, will manage the Joplin Miners of the Western Association this year.

♦ OFF THE BACKBOARD ♦

BY VERN BOXELL Russell Alexander, who once was known as Alex the Hardwood Hash Hound of Washington. but who turned professional and syndicated his efforts, dropped in on Backboard Thursday, and during the course of conversation, this matter of picking a state champion came in for its round. Which was quite natural. The unnatural part of it lies in the fact that there was no argument such as usually occurs when two basketball fans get together. It was agreed by both parties that the present situation is an awful mess, and that any one of five teams apparently has a chance to pull down the shield. K tt tt Being a former Washington scribe. Aiex naturally has a big warm spot in his heart for the Hatchets. And Alex points out that the Hatchets gre due. He bases his opinion on the following figures: Friddle took charge of basketball at Washington in 1926. That year, the Hatchets were bumped oft in the regional by Vincennes. In 1927. they came to the tourney and lost in the first round. In 1928, they got to the second round and were knocked off. In 1929, they got to the third round, or semi-finals, where they lost to Tech. Alex says the next step is the finals and championship. Backboard suggested that since the Hatchets had lost in each of the other rounds, they had yet to lose in the finals and maybe that the championship still was one year away. Otherwise, true to the gangland code. Backboard maintained his stoical silence—until Saturday. n tt a Alex’ hunch reminds us of an experiment Backboard performed several weeks ago. The blindfold test has been us 2d for cigarets and other things, but rarely in picking state basketball champions, Backboard listed sixteen teams, was blindfolded, and drew one. Who was the victim—none other than Columbus. a tt a Which calls to mind the fact that one Columbus woman writes us that if we don't pick the Bulldogs, she’s through with us forever, while another asks us to "please don't Jinx Columbus by picking them to win the state." Either way, we'll be both right and wrong. Belie' e it or not. Mr. Ripley. a tt a MANY basketball coaches over the state who have sent teams against Columbus for the last three years have been looking forward to the time when big Dutch Fehrlng, who hasn't a peer among the preps this season, would graduate. Dutch ends his career some time in March or sooner, but there's another one coming up who is a carbon copy. They call him Pokerface, and he's 15 and a member of the second team. He sat next to Backboard during the Bulldog-Hot Dog game, pulling for brother Dutch. Here's another ta-ta for alumni secretaries. Dutch plans to enter Annapolis. t> tt u Before the contributors get to work. Backboard wishes to announce that tonight, it should be: Notre Dame over Butler (maybe). Washington over Seymour. Frankfort over Kokomo. Anderson over Central (Ft. Wayne'. Connersvilie over Richmond. Martinsville over Delphi. Vincennes over Bloomington. Muncie over Newcastle (?). Franklin over Bedford. Logaasport over Rochester. Laporte over Plymouth. Marion over Fairmount. Wiley over Gertsmeyer. Columbus over Shelbyvi’le. Lebanon over Crawfordsville. Qreencastle over Sullivan. m tt tt In case you've forgotten, the five misses in thirteen attempts last Saturday put us on the fence, with a percentage of .700, That's 147 wins and 63 losses. tt tt tt Dear Backboard You dirty crook! Weren't you at the Tech-Anderson game? You took It for (ranted, didn't you. So did nearly everybody else on the Tech tide and some of them, in Tact, most of

Curly Hinchman, who has come through as a reserve in several contests, will start as a regular in a guard role with Lefty Evans, former Logansport ace, who became eligible two weeks ago. Notre flame has played inconsistently this season. The Irish were walloped twice by Pittsburgh and once by Ohio State, nosed out Indiana by one point and split games with Northwestern. Butler's chances for victory tonight apparently rest on their ability to collect, points. The Bulldog defense has not been weakened greatly, but.

I'd want them to win, because they’re good sports and good players. LOYAL LIZZIE. P. S.—First thing you know. Shortridge will be telling us they “threw” the city tourney game! l.

Indians Obtain Crouse, Hoff man and Sinn of Money for Backstop Catcher Received in Exchange Becomes Outright Property Here and Outfielder Is Optioned for Year; Bush Promises More Player Aid to Locals. BY EDDIE ASH Catcher John Riddle of the Indianapolis club today was sold to the Chicago White Sox in an important deal that is expected to prove of immense aid to Johnny Corriden’s American Association entry during the 1930 camDaign. In the transaction, the Indians obtained Catcher Clyde (Buck) Crouse, Outfielder Clarence Hoffman, a sum of money and promise of further player talent. j Crouse resides at Muncie, Ind., and has been with Sox eight years i and Hoffman was purchased from the Sacremento Coast League team in 1928. The catcher hits left-handed and Hoffman right-handed. The outfielder also is a right-handed thrower and his favorite position is center field. Crouse becomes the outright property of the Indians while Hoffman comes on option for one year.

The big deal was announced by Secretary William Clauer of the Indians after Manager Ownie Bush reached Chicago this morning and wired acceptance following a conference with Owner Comiskey of the Sox. Manager Corriden of the Indians approved the transaction. Will Team With Sprinz Catcher Crcuse will team with Joe Sprinz, local star of last year, who bats right-handed. Hoffman's age is 25 and he came into the world at Believille, 111. He has been with the Sox two seasons. Crouse, a veteran, is 33, and was born at Matthews, Ind. He was purchased from the Muskegon club of the Michigan-Ontario League in 1923. Hoffman’s 1929 batting record, was .258. In 107 games and 337 \ times at bat he collected eightyseven hits, including sixteen doubles, five triples and three home runs. Crouse batted .272 in fortyfive games and 107 times at bat, collecting twenty-nine hits, including seven doubles and two homers. Hoffman’s fielding percentage was .984 and Crouse’s .979. Riddle Impresses Bush From the gist of Secretary Clauer’s announcement, Manager Bush has made strong promises of further help for the Indians in the way of athletes as the result of the Riddle deal. Bush saw Riddle catch several games late last year and was impressed by the Georgia youth’s actions. Riddle was obtained from the Florida State League in the fall of 1927, and farmed to Quincy in 1928. Last year was his first full season with the Tribe and even during that campaign he was not used regularly owing to the fact Joe Sprinz had more experience and was having a good year at the plate. Was Georgia Athlete Riddle was an all-rbund athlete 1 at the University of Georgia before j entering league baseball. His home is Columbus, Ga. The Cracker state athlete is 24, weighs 175 and stands 5 feet 10 inches. He is of the aggressive type and the style of catcher the pitchers enjoy working with.

Subsequently, Rosenbloom was dropped from the title touriyey and Slattery won the championship.

Five Teams in Catholic Net Event Strong Field to Compete for State Title Here March 7-8 Ten teams probably will play for the state title in the Indiana Catholic high school basketball tournament, to be held in the local Armory, March 7 and 8. The field probably will be the strongest ever to fight for the crown and the right to represent Indiana in the national meet at Loyola university, Chicago, March 19 to 24. Brother William, chairman of the board of control, announced that five entry blanks already have been received and that others were expected today. St. Joseph of Shelbyville will not be represented, as their squad has been disbanded. The only new team entered thus far is Catholic Central of Hammond. Securing of the Armory for the tournament has proven satisfactory to the competing teams. In the past, there has been complaint that the local contender held an advantage when the games were played at Cathedral gymnasium. RIEGELS ASSISTS PRICE SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. Feb. 14 Roy Riegels, center on the Univer sity of California football team last fall, has been signed to assist Head Coach (Nibs) Price in developing the institution’s eleven next fall, it was announced by athletic officials today.
