TALKING IT OVER BY DANIEL

NEW YORK. Feb. 17. WHAT if this Camera ramival of mayhem from New York to Oklahoma turns out to be the preliminary ballyhoo for a Dempsey come bark! Stranger things have happened in this game of strange happenings. I am not at all surprised that the signor with the exaggerated feet appeals so strongly to Dempsey who. with the able assistance of Estelle Taylor, practically had made up his mind never to fight again. Even a former champion in carpet slippers, sitting by the fireside of retirement and surrounded by every luxury bom of a prosperous title tenure, would be tempted back by the pawing style and tremendous box office possibilities of Camera. XX o a This effort of Drmpiv to match him*lf with the Gondolier ma? have a franco denouement. Th* propnvd flfcht my atrlke a Anar not In Ihe unwilling” •ie%s of Dcmpnet to return to the wars, >ut in the carlnem of Camera's manaeement. In disclosing Jack’s wish to tackle the maul merchant of Venice here next October. I/eon See, who handles the Prlmo. aid rather dubious!?. “I don’t know about hat match. ** Monsieur See has a very *ood thinr In the circus exhibit. a a a oOME of the fight experts around 3 the country may be in a quan- !.•- ry as regards the real possibilities > f Signor Camera, but Abe Attell, io is teaching the urimo things. ‘ias no illusions about the Italian’s present class. “Give him a year, dont rush him, and he'll astonish you," said Attell recently. ana Seemingly, tt I* calculated that In a year Camera will have oved up all the divers, tankers, palnokas and stumblebumi n this continent. Why firbt Dempsey when three are Petersons, Marlions and a lot of other rifle range effigies ; to be shoved over with one load of buckshot? . 808 IN seeking a match with the uneducated Camera, Dempsey visions a happier ending than any , rloseup Estelle ever put over in the j movies. Jack sees himself stand- j ing up smiling along about the third j round, with the Primo playing the dying gladiator—and about $400,000 ; in *' Dempsey sock. Those large, stationary targets always have intrigued Mr Dempsey. The boxing gentry at times made trouble for Jack. 888 But what happened to the oversired j Flrpo? And the large W illard? And lbe j elongated fred Pulton? This trio stretched a total of nearly twenty feet in less than j the grand elapsed time of six rounds of fighting. The Camera match Is a positive inspiration on the part of Dempsey. The publie would go for a Dempsey comeback, even against so untutored a foe. 808 DEMPSEY will be 35 in June. He may have still another fight in him, if the opponent be no more formidable than Camera. As for the Venetian, a victory over Dempsey would lift ihm right into the title dispute. Jim Corbett was 34 when he came back after two j years of easy life in his saloon on I Broadway, and fought twenty-three rounds with Jeffries, who was only 25 at the time. Ba ■ a Whr not Dempsey against Camera—the allecrd relic against the socalVd riot—with John Ringling promoting it like anv | other circus yenture? It would make John's sea elephant look like a monkey, j and bis man shot out of a eannon seem ; like a Singer Midget coming out of a putty blower.

BUSH TRIES HARD TO COLLECT PUNCH FOR SOX

New Hose Pilot Never Has Finished Out of First Division Group Four Best Outfield Rookies Batted Well in Minors; Shift Expected to Be Made in Infield; Frasier and Caraway Give Promise on Mound. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Inited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—The Chicago White Sox have acquired anew manager, four hard-hitting outfielders, two crack infielders, one young catcher and a couple of promising pitchers in their plans to overhaul a team which hasn't finished out of second division in nine years. Owen Bush, who resigned as manager of Pittsburgh, will undertake to rebuild the White Sox. In almost seven years of major and minor league managerial experience Bush never has handled a second division outfit. His Washington club finished fourth in 1923 and Indianapolis finished second three years in a row. The Pirates finished first in 1927 and fourth in 1928, and were in second place w'hen he quit last season.

Punch Absent in 1929 The White Sox were lacking in | ; punch last season. Only three play- | ers on the club batted over .300Shires. 321; Reynolds, .317, and Watwood. .302. Os the White Sox 1930 outstanding recruits four are slugging out- j fielders. They are: Smrad Joller, San Francisco 887 Dave Harris, Portland, Ore 388 George Blackbcrbv. Waco 385 Jimmy Moore. Dallas 384 One of this quartet may develop into the powerful clean-up hitter. The Sox paid a fancy price for Jolley and it will be a big disap- ; pointment if he does not make good, i The other two members of San Francisco’s famous trio of 1928, Roy ; Johnson, Detroit, and Earl Averill, Cleveland, won American League berths in 1929. In four years on the coast Jolley batted .346, .397, .404 and .385. Harris Has Reputation Before going to Portland. Harris , ; batted .348 in eighty-two games with i the Providence club, which seems to j . indicate he can hit any kind of j pitching. Moore and Blackerby j were two of the best hitters in the Texas League. Blackerby had a brief trial with the Sox in 1928. The outfielders who were with the Sox last season aft 1 Reynolds, Watwood. Hoffman and Metzler. The : White Sox new outfield may be Watwood. Reynolds and Jolley. I Hoffman has been optioned to In- ; dianapolis. Shortstop is the infield problem, j Bill Cissell, last year’s shortstop, j probably will be shifted to second j base, and leave Bill Hunnefield. who batted only .181 last season, Ernie ; Smith, who batted .313 for Birmingham (Southern League), and Irving j Jeffries, a former University of j Kentucky football star who batted .308 for Dallas (Texas League), to compete for the job. Kamm Retains Post Shires will play first, with Bud Clancy as understudy, and Willie Kamm. veteran third sacker, will be at his regular past. Ted Lyons. Alphonse Thomas and Red Faber will form the nucleus of the pitching staff. The two best ' pitching recruits are Vic Frasier, right-hander who won fifteen games j and lost eight for Dallas, and Pat Caraway, a southpaw who won nineteen games and lost seventeen for Topeka. Frasier Is only 24 and has had only two years of minor league experience. but he developed into one of the best hurlers in the Texas League last season. Caraway pitched ; 305 innings and led the Western League in strikeouts. 159. Young Ed Walsh and Hal McKaln arc j expected to develop into regulars this sea- j son. Others who will make bids tor the i pitching staff are Frank Henry, southpaw. J claimed from the Giants on waivers late | last season: Bob Weiland. 205-pound southpaw recalled from Toledo: Louis Garland, right-hander who won 7 and lost 16 for Joplin: George Connslly. veteran, recalled from Dallas; George Cox. who was on the voluntarily retired list last season: Harwood McKain. semi-pro. brother of Hal: Pat McCarthy, a Chicago semi-pro: Gerald Bvrne. former Michigan state athlete; Grady Adkins, who lost eleven games and won two last season, and Ted Blankenship. The catching staff will be made up of Moe Berg Martin Autry and Johnny Riddle. the last named a rookie from Indianepolls who takes the place of Clyde Crouse. 1

OFF BACKBOARD THE BY VERN BOXELL

THE morning after two days before finds Backboard still picking Frankfort. After such a strenuous duty has been performed it is befitting that the performer be allowed a short, breathing spell. With ; the civil war between Shortridge j and Tech just two weeks off, city i basketball fans have been moved to! attempt to settle the issue “out of j court.” Backboard becomes the j medium. Os course, all these letters were written before Alice of Vincennes fell for Tech and Bedford’s Stonecutters proved too rough for Shortridge. And Saturday’s scores might indicate that Manual and Washington may make the civil struggle a little more interesting. n a a Dear Boxeil—All these self-admitted ‘‘in the know guys” who break down and inform' us that Shortridge was scared pink ir. the Tech game and that Tech, after taking it on the chin six times In a row. is still the best in the state, and that Washington can beat Shortridge after Shortridge already has thumped them twice, are permeated with the old proverbial moisture. If the truth is to be known. Shortridge does get the ‘‘buck fever"—a case of nervous excitement—before playing Tech in basketball, in the same manner that Tech gets It before playing Shortridge in football. As an eye witness to the ShortridgeDelphi and Rushville games. I can say safely that the Blue Devils looked 100 per cent better than they did against Tech, but whether they will continue in this improved state until and during the sectional. is a matter of speculation. JOE SMART. b * m Dear Backboard—l want to step In Just a few minutes to defend Tech’s reputation. It certainly is a good one. You know a high school must have a very good one* to win games on it. But you can't tell Tech students that that’s how the Campbellmen won that Shortridge game. Maybe we have a good reputation. At least one that others covet. If you ask me. Shortridge is just trying to keep people thinking they’ve got the best team. A score of 32 to 13 in favor of Tech isn't very convincing, is it? A TECHITE. B B B . Dear Backboard —After reading some of the insulting statements by Shortridge followers. I think I’ll proceed likewise. Shortridge Lil insulted Tech when she as much as said Shortridge could beat Tech. That’s a scream. They hardly can beat Manual. Tech wouldn’t even think of slaughtering one team twice. THE GREEN SHADOW. B B B Dear Backboard—The self-styled Student Prince is all wet. It was very plain at the Tech-Anderson game that neither team was endeavoring to show its full strength and Tech’s victory did not mean a thing one way or the other. Tech and Butler are two of a kind. While they both have good teams, both have discovered they can't get by on last year's reputation. Yes. Student Prince, perhaps some of we Shortridge backers make you laugh, but remember, he who laughs last laughs best, and right now I am wearing a grin which will develop into a full grown horse laugh after the sectional. EDDIE. 8 B tt Dear Backboard—So Tech is afraid of i Shortridge. eh? Shortridge Lil had better | change her mind. After the smoke clears I up. Shortridge's scalp will be dangling from Tech's war belt, as usual, and Tech \ will be at the state. i A MACHINIST FROM TECH. B B B Dear Boxeil— I wonder what Shortridge calls basketball. Imagine that was a nervous strain for them playing Manual. Now they will be too weak to play in the sectional. A TECH FRESHIE. #BO i Eddy of Shortridge. (this isn’t the ori- j ginal Eddie', says that Case. Shuttleworth. and the rest of Shortridge's quintet will prove too tough for Tech. But the funny part is. he brags about the Manual victory. * #BB Apparently the stage and the screen aren't the only places for sister teams. Far irstanee. we present. Ellen and Ann.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Big Season for Cicero

Back Row (left to right)—Kellam, center; Havens, center; Floyd, coach; Thompson, guard, and Sherrer, forward. Middle Row (left to right)—Kaiser, student manager; Davis, guard; Noble, forward; Cruse, guard, and Wlggs, forward. Front Row—Cecil Beaver (left), forward, and L. Beaver, guard. WITH tournament time drawing near, one of the dark horse teams attracting attention is the Cicero high school quintet, coached by Walter Floyd, former Butler star. Cicero has piled up an enviable record against strong opponents this season and annexed the Hamilton county championship by defeating Noblesville in the final game, 25 to 4. A strong defense features the play of the Cicero pastimers and they have totaled more than twice as many points as their opponents this season. Floyd is expected to bring his quintet through the Tipton sectional, and their presence in the Indianapolis regional may cause some trouble for the winners of the local Danville and Anderson sectionals. Captain Noble, forward, is high point scorer for the season. Other regulars are Beaver, forward; Cravens and Wiggs, centers, and Cruse and Davis, guards.

Flo and Sue. and Boots and Betty. Flo and Sue say Tech isn’t any more afraid of Shortridge than they were before the Blue Devils knocked off Rushville. Ellen and Ann inquire ‘‘when did the little northside angels start giving games away and when did Tech start winning on their reputation,” referring, of course to Shortridge Lil’s letter. Boots and Betty hope that Shortridge gets far enough in the sectional to meet Tech. Just so they can prove that Tech didn’t beat the Blue Devils on an off night. 0 8 0 Dear Boxeil—There is only one thing that Shortridge regrets about the Rushville game—they are sorry they were playing Rushville instead of Tech that night. It would have been just too bad for any team they played that night, and Shortridge wasn't playing over their heads, either. Just showing what they can do. As far as the finals are concerned, we have an easy ticket and we will be right there when the starting whistle is blown and Felix will be on the sidelines. L. S. M. of SHORTRIDGE. St St St Dear Backboard—l just had to write again. A Shortridge Lil has just about won the sectional for their school already but that is nothing new. They always are acting that way. Shortridge might get somewhere if they didn’t get ail puffed up when they win a game but it is so seldom that they win one that they have to make a lot of whoopee over it. This Lil person, whoever it is, also says that she has the inside dope and that the reason the Blue Devils lost in the city was because they were scared stiff of the green and white. It kind of looks like they got just what they were afraid they'd get. Well, I’ve just this much to say and that is if they v/ere scored stiff in the city someone had better order some stretchers right away because they will just naturally die of fright In the sectional. I thought that after the defeat we handed them they would be willing to go off somewhere and hide their faces foi a while at least, but instead here they are back again with twice as many alibis. Now they are saying Just wait until the sectionals. but we’ve heard that before. Well, take a tip from me and watch the sectionals. ELEANOR. 8 8 8 WE'RE PICKING FRANKFORT! TURNERS DROP MOTORS South Side Five Noses Out Marin on's in Thrilling Tilt. South Side Turners hung up another victory Sunday, defeating Marmon Motor five, 25 to 25.
