Too many big league coaches take their Jobs in the nature of a gift. # # # During a fanning bee several weeks ago in Indianapolis and before Bath signed Kelly he aid the veteran type of baseball managerial assistant made a practice of hustling only until signed up and after that be hard to find. Said Ownie: “I want a lieutenant with pepper and enthusiasm left in his system and a man who won’t dodge work." Then be went out and engaged Mike. # # # BUSH has put the bee on poker playing among the White Sox for the reason he has observed in baseball that when real money is at stake the same players usually win.

DEMPSEY AND OTHERS BLOCK TITLE SETTLEMENT

Jones Bags 68 in Open Trial Play Atlantan Shatters Par in First Meet: Cooper Scores 67. P.u United Press SAVANNAH. Ga., Feb. 20 —Over a golf course iemi-naturaily bunkered and trapped when the Confederate army dug in to save Savannah from the advancing Union army, a large portion of the nation’s golf nobles today began the first eight-een-hole round in the $3,000 Savannah open. Some forty early arriving competitors learned Wednesday that the apparent modest rolling terrain of the course is not so easily won as first appears. But par 74 for the 5,965 yards was broken in several cases, by Bobby Jones. Harry Cooper, Horton Smith and Ed Dudley. Cooper led the group with a 67 for the course. Jones, Smith and Dudley trailed close behind with 66. Jones played thirty-six holes, his first tounament competition since the disastrous first round of the national amateur at Pebble Beach last September. His morning 70 and subsequent 68 were ten under par for the thirty-six holes. Both Jones and Smith produced some miraculous horseshoe shots and the gallery gaped at drives which sent the bail curving out over the rough but landing always on the fairway. Three Giants on Sidelines By UniUd J'rt.-s SAN ANTONIO. Tex., Feb. 20. Three members of the New York Giants’ squad were excused from Wednesday practice because of injuries.

In No. 5. do you refer to Everett Case’s continuous coaching from the bench as In the Columbus game? Or did you overlook this in your eagerness to find flowers for Thompson and thorns for Beck. Perhaps this won't be allowed at the state, or, as on Feb. 8 down here, maybe it won’t do any good. Why do you, in No. 8, out of 8.000 players, pick only Beck to sling mud at?

them best. Every real sport wants the winner, whether Frankfort or some other good team, to be and feel "our own Indiana state champions.” Yours truly, W. C. L. a tt Dear W- C. L.—Naturally, we‘d expected some letters, and wem’t conceited in feeling that way. Hoosicr basketball fans feel the urge every now and then to ay things, and we’re willing to help theih out. when they say things. They especially wax eloquent when you write something that isn’t exactly to their liking. And we occasionally do that. We did get some letters, many of which contained criticism of our selection. Os course, there were some of congratulations and well wishes. Most of the adverse criticisms were wild and without point. Not so with your epistle. Since you called us and were man enough to sign your name, we’ll try to explain. In the first place. Red Thompson can play regular on our team any time. In fact, he is a reserve only for about the first ten minutes of every game, and if you've noticed, he's been high point man in the recent games. When Red steps on the floor, the Hot Dogs seem to pick uu power and speed. As for “Sheeny” Beck, we’re one of the “thousands of fans” who are backing him. We merely stated La wheat! had him flying as high as a balloon in that memorable game. Beck isn’t the only one, nor will he be the last one. He’s one of the best guards in the state, and here’s hoping he pulls out of his temporary slump, into which Columbus fans inform us he temporariiy has fallen, before the tourneys. They blame Everett Case for many things, but in mentioning coaching from the bench, he's only one of a hundred or mere. Give him credit for being smart. Like the others, he’ll be directing his team from the sidelines at the state tourney. In many sections of the country they’re urging tile coaches to quit the sidelines and “give the game back to the boys.” If they do that in Indiana, they might as well give it back to Doc Naismith. the guy who started all this with peach baskets and volley balls. Or why not give it to College Humor? It’s only natural that, since we picked Frankfort, we wouldn’t think any team could beat them. We’ll admit that the “doesn't want to be beaten” might have been superfluous, but if they arc beaten, our hat will be off to their conquerors and to the new state champs. Hope the sheet metal business picks up in Columbus. Backboard. a tt tt Dear Backboard: In the Arsenal Cannon for the week of Jan. 31. under “Basketball Prospects,” is the statement: "Up to the time this issue went to press, the Arsenalltes had lost only one game.

George Cook

THE veteran Australian heavyweight, George Cook, who has been in America for some time, will tackle Chuck Wiggins in the main go at Cadle Tabernacle next Thursday night ov.r the ten-round route. Cook’s headquarters are in Boston and he fights often, while Wiggins has returned to form by figuring in several minor bouts in the middle west.

Best of Braves’ Rookies Are Fly Chasers and Infielders Berger, Moore, Rollings and Neun Expected to Make Good; Battery Departments Are Weak.

BY r GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—Many radical changes will be made in the lineup of the Boston Braves under their new manager. Bill McKechnie, but there is no indication that there will be any vast improvement over the club which finished in the cellar last season. Little effort has been made to bolster the weak pitching staff as the majority of the new players are infielders and outfielders. There are four outstanding recruits who stand a good chance of winning regular berths. They are first baseman Johnny Neun, who was with Detroit, 1925 to 1927, and who batted .330 for Baltimore last season; third baseman Russell Rollings, who had trial with the Red Sox in 1928 and who batted .328 with Hollywood in 1929; outfielder Walter Berger, who batted .335 for Los Angeles last year, and outfielder Randolph Moore, who batted .369 for Dallas, leading the Texas League in hitting. Probable Infield Lineup The Braves’ infield probably will be composed of Neun at first, maguire at second, Maranville at short and Rollings at third. George Sisler will be back to compete with Neun for first base; Bob James, recalled from Baltimore, will understudy Maguire at second, and Gene Robertson, bought from the Yankees, will contest with Rollings at third. Infield rookies are Harry Nolan and Harold Baugher, the latter of Marion, Ind. Berger, who hit forty home runs in the coast league last season, and Moore, who set anew Texas league record for base hits with 245, are expected to see a lot of action.

Mitt Heads Ask Jack's Ring Plans Schmeiing, Campolo, Griffiths and Loughran Also in New Squabble. BY DIXON STEWART. I’nlted Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—Madison Square Garden Corporation, with approval of the Muldoon-Thnney trophy committee, is prepared to ‘•steam roller" the winner of its current Jack Sharkey-Phil ScottMax Schmeiing tourney into the world’s championship, but there is a possibility that a monkey wrench may be thrown into the machinery. Schmeiing continues to sulk in Germany and altnough his ‘'representatives" say he will accept terms to fight the Scoit-Sharkey winner here in June, Maxie has not committed himself. Campolo May Substitute Garden officials are worried and have made plans to substitute Vittorio Campolo, Argentine heavyweight, for Schmeiing if the German boxer refuses to perform. Campolo is fighting Johnny Risko on the Miami card a week from tonight and has an opportunity to force his way into the title tourney regardless of Schmeling’s actions. Tommy Loughran, former light heavyweight champ, is making a “comeback" attempt at Miami and if his new training methods prove as effective as he believes, he may make such a formidable showing that he will be recognized as entitled to consideration. Grilfiths Mentioned In addition, Tuffy Griffiths, the lowa heavyweight, who duplicated Schmeling’s efforts in beating Johnny Risko and Paulino, remains to be eliminated. Sharkey refused to fight Griffiths and the tough one still is decidedly in the running. The National Boxing Association has asked Jack Dempsey whether he has any indention of re-entering; the ring. “If Dempsey intends to fight again, it would be ridiculous to recognize the Sharkey-Scott-Schmel-ing tourney winner as champion,’* the N. B. A. said. “Dempsey knocked out Sharkey in seven rounds and was defeated only by Tunney, the retired champion.’’
