Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

MIAMI, Feb. 18. IN certain vital respects conditions down here are very lugubrious and after a fortnight of leisure your correspondent does not know exactly how to view the situation. To begin with the six hundred millionaires who control Madison Square Garden, the institution which is sponsoring a local program of boxing contests nine days from tonight, have been complaining that the newspaper boys from the metropolis have not been writing enough about the impending spectacle. I ans told that the millionaires are at a loss to understand why all the top lines of m*rrn. date in the metropolitan sports pages have not been devoted to the sweating and snorting virtuosity of the Messrs. Scott and Sharkey who are to meet in what is technically called the main go. U tt tt It scents Ih r millionaire* took out a lease on a hotel in the Beach district and turned It over to the writers, or to such writers as felt disposed to reside there, and arranferoents were made bv which the ruests, including wives, new brides and blood kin, could partake of board and bed at the Ter? nominal rate of S2O per week, or less depending on how the parties of the second part felt about such obligations. tt 8 tt IN return for this, and especially In view of the generally known fact that it is impossible to partake of board and bed anywhere on the Beach during the month of February. which' is the peak month of the resort season for less than S2O per day, the millionaires, it develops, feel that the writers have not been as considerate, and certainly not as fluent, as it was hoped they might be. u a 1 SUPPOSE from the standpoint of fair play the millionaires have a squawk coming because accomodations of any wort on the Beach are very limited and it must be distressing to turn a hotel over to the writers at a trifling cost, if any. and then see them turn their critical attentions to golf courses, race tracks, and night clubs, in practically none of which are the millionaires financially interested. a a a The attitude of the aports promoter toward the newspapers has always baffled me somewhat. I mean to say that as a business man the sports promoter always seems to demand and get more publicity than anybody else, and when this publicity does not measure up to expectations a feverish protest is raised. tt tt a There are quite a few fairly important business men vacationing in this vicinity, including Franklin Simon, the department store genius, but I have not heard that he has complained because the fashion writers failed to crash into print with a daily blurb about some ©t the gowns from his store that the dear ladies are wearing hereabouts. Os course It may be that Mr. Simon has complained or that he has nothing to complain about. I merely strive to make the point that he appears entitled to a complaint in the same degree that Is habitually exercised by the sports promoter. a a tt THE dearth of headlines in the metropolitan papers is not the only disturbing note in the local situation. A great number of the boys are packing up. I do not mean the writing boys. I refer to the boys who came down here to play the wheel on the word that the town was going to be wide open again. tt a tt The town Is not wide open. For a while tt was and a fellow could get a play at anything from craps to faro. But something has happened. I am told that It is • political fight. Whatever it is the halls of ehance are all closed, and from the way things look the. are not going to reopen. a a tt These places are largely patronized by the boys with a scattering of tourists and good time Charlies. But it is the boys who buy the ringside seats, and since their number is something more than sizable it can readily be seen that when they pack up and depart a very considerable source of revenue has been lost. BEERS MAT WINNER Leslie Beers. Purdue university wrestling coach, won in straight falls over George Bujokas. Kokomo, in the main mat event, at Cadle tabernacle Monday night. Beers won in fast time. Speedy O'Neil and Merle Dolby wrestled fifteen minutes to no fall in a time limit match.

Gus Suhr Is Chief Hope of Pittsburgh Pirate Rookie Crop

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Feb. 18.—There are seventeen recruits on the Pittsburgh squad, but most cf the Pirates’ hopes are pinned to just one of them —Gus Suhr, 23-year-old first baseman from San Francisco. The Pirates paid a reported sum of $50,000 for Suhr, who batted .381 last season. Earl Sheelv, who led the National League first basemen in fielding in 1529, has been sent back to the minors and George Grantham will be played at second base. Many of the Pirates’ newcomers

Tex., Feb. 18.— Coach Dave Bancroft led a squad of thirty New York Giants through a brisk two-hour drill in the first workout of the training season Monday.

During the afternoon the Giants shared Bear field with the Chicago White Sox. The Sox field at St. Mary’s college is in no shape for work, and Manager Bush will move his quarters next week to another local field, Van Daile park.

♦ OFF THE BACKBOARD

BY VEEN BOXELL INDIANA'S high school board of athletic control, as important to the great machine of Hoosier netr dom as the crank is to Henry Ford’s new models, and whose official duties are to listen to and agree with Arthur L. Trester, commissioner, the “starter” who makes the crank a utility article, have heard and seen much about the use of reserves by certain prominent coaches. They have decided, with the aid of Mr. Trester, that something should be done about it. And there decision is definite, to say the least, and has a very ferocious warning, but it often has been said that the bark of a dog is as harmless as the bark of a tree, or something to that effect. tt tt tt According to a recent, bulletin, edited and published by the board and Mr. Trester. “Each team, first second, third, etc., in high school may have twenty games on its regular schedule and an individual may play in twenty games during the regular season. By juggling players, the first team, second team, third team, etc., are not permitted to schedule more than twenty games each. The ranking of a team —first, second, third, etc., must be definitely known by the ooponents and the public before each game. If no contract or agreement exists otherwise at the time a game is played, the game is considered a first team game. a tr *'AII fames other than first team tames most he so scheduled and so contracted, and the publicity regarding such fames most be so worded, a tt a “The board of control solicits information about schoois that have violated the game limitation placed on teams and individuals and the subsitution of teams of lower ranking for games scheduled. The penalties here are severe and compulsory.”

are promising youngsters who probably will be sent back to the minors for more seasoning. This group includes outfielder John Stoneham, who batted .410 for the McCook (Nebraska) club; pitcher Andy Bednar from the same team, who won twenty-one games and lost four in his first year in organized baseball; infielder Ben Sankey from the Selma (Alabama' club, rated a great fielder, and catcher Hal Finney from the Gadsen club of the GeorgiaAlabama League. Besides Suhr, there are two other youngsters who may crack into the Pirates’ ranks. They are Glenn Spencer, recalled from Wichita,

vorite at Washington park. He bats and throws right-handed. The Indians will get more help from Ownie Bush as a result of the transaction, it is said, wnen the time comes for the big leaguers to reduce their rosters. Catcher Crouse is a Hoosier and lives at Muncie, and Hoffman hails from Belleville, 111. The Indians depart for training camp March 1 and start practice at Sarasota March 3.

Richmond Five Opposes Tech First of the last two games remaining on Tech’s hardwood schedule, will be played at the east side gym tonight, when the Green and White quintet opposes Morton of Richmond, Big Ten foe. The game was postponed several w r eeks ago due io the meningitis epidemic. Richmond has shown improvement in recent games after a poor start, and last Friday forced the strong Connersville quintet at top speed. Campbell has his Tech quintet in top shape following their victory over Vincennes. The game started at 8:15 p. m., preceded by a reserve tilt at 7. Shelbyville ends the locals season here" Saturday.

SUCH is the ultimatum of the dignified board of control. Enforcing it is something else. “The board solicits information”—it walks right cut of print and smacks them in the face nearly every week-end. U tt tt The board has started on the right path. If it is within their power to enforce their order, so much the better for Iloosicr fans. Followers of the sport plank down their geld on the ticket office window to see a varsity baskethall game, and justly are insulted when they must watch reserves. A game is given wide publicity as a contest between two of the state’s topnotch quintets, and turns out to be a farce in which one or both teams employ make-sbift lineups. tt a a Os course, the extra-fames scheduled has its advantages. It means more money tn the coffers and more experience for the rtbletes. But It's disgusting to fans, and hard on the popularity of the sport, tt it- tt Once again the present system of selecting the state champion, the elimination tourney process, with the entire season depending on a series of games over three consecutive week-ends, may be blamed, lust as It has been for the "delayed offense." that scientific, slow but accurate style of play taught by most of the present mentors. tt tt tt Perhaps the board can qontrol the number of games scheduled for “varsity” teams, but it seems very improbable that they have any power to control the use of reserves. When is a reserve not a reserve and when is he a regular? It would take more than Trester and all the king's horses to decide that. tt tt B FRANKFORT, upon whose shoulders Backboard cast, the mantle of favoritism, will meet a worthy foe at Anderson Friday night. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Indians prove more than worthy. Perhaps the Hot Dogs- will fall.

! where he won twenty-four games ! and lost only nine last year, and outfielder James Moslof, who batted .362 with Wichita in his second year in organized baseball last season. Spencer is 23 and Moslof 22. Moslof, considered a natural-born hitter, may be given a trial at first base if Suhr fails. Another newcomer with a good chance of sticking is Albert 8001, catcher from Baltimore, where he batted .347. If Suhr makes the grade the rest of the Pirates’ infield probably will i be Grantham at second, Bartell at ! short and Traynor at third. Stuart j Clarke, who was with the pirates [ last season, and Charles Engle, who

The second squad of players, including Babe Ruth and ten others, are scheduled to start work March 3. Ruth has agreed to start training with the team even if he still is a holdout.

Nothing could surprise Backboard after Newcastle’s victory over Muncie, the first in eight years. And Kokomo almost measured the Casemen Saturday night. Furthermore, don’t attempt to tell an Anderson fan that Staggs’ quintet isn’t stronger than Kokomo. The Indians are contenders. Unfortunately, they play in the Indianapolis regional, and we’re depending on Tech to take care of them there. a tt tt An Anderson fan Informs ns that tickets for the game are going fast. Don’t worry, we have ours, tt it tt “Two Reader*’ Inform u* that *s * picker, we haven’t shown must promise. It should have been Martinsville says they.

Bv United Prrss NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Whichone and Boojurn, leading Juveniles of 1929, will not run in the Kentucky Derby next May 17. Tom Healy, trainer for H. P. Whitney, announced today. The Whitney pair were favorites in the winter books on the Derby. Whichone led the money winners among the juveniles last year, earning $135,455 for Whitney. Boojurn was the third best money-maker among the 1929 2-year-olds, bringing in $57,650. Healy declined to state the reason for the scratching of Whichone and Boojurn. It Is thought the colts failed to train satisfactorily this winter. During 1929, Whichone, rated by turf experts as the better of the crack Whitney pair, won the Belmont Champagne stakes, the Saratoga Special and the Futurity stakes, losing only one race, and that to his stable mate, Boojurn, who captured the Hopeful stakes at Saratoga, with Whichone second.
