Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. March 19. IHAD resolved to write no more for years to come, and then only under pressure, about Phil Suffering Scott, but I seem to detect the beginning of anew campaign to bring the fragile fireman back to the metropolitan rings. William Muldoon, the self -avowed purist of pugilism, has once more leaped to the lances in defense of the strange gentleman from overseas. He claims that Scott has been shamefully treated bv America and inferentially he calls on the sporting instinct of the country to atone for the crime by giving the Britisher another whirl. ana There may he something more to this than the noMe expressions of an outraged snul to whom all thine* are fine and beautiful. for It will be remembered that it waa Muldoon who compelled Madison Square Garden to accept Scott as onC of lha principal*. If that I* the word. In the Miami misers-. It seem* reasonable to fear that If he could do this once, nothin* can atop him from doine it again, if he so wilts. ana Theoretically a boxing commissioner is ' supposed to function mainly in a judicial capacity, but In the case of Muldoon and his associates on the New York commission It Is very hard to determine Just where authority begins and where it ends. If at all. The right of the commission to reject whnt appears to be obviously onesided matches Is generally recognized and In manv Instances this has operated as a splendid safeguard for the customers, but in extending this authority to the making of matches the hosses of boxing clearly overreach themselves. It Is an assumption of power akin to the sewage commission dtctatlng the wage scale In factories where manhole covers are designed. a a a I HAVE more than a limited respect for Muldoon both as a personality and an observer of matter pertaining to the glove dusters, but when he pretends to pass Judgment on a fight that he did not see and which was held many miles from his presence, I am disposed to question the importance of his testimony. a a a Ha Is ouoted as saving that America has been shamefully unfair to Scott, and that the Britisher was whipped before he went Into the ring. Well, let's see about that. ana To begin with, bv what means did Scott Qualify for the Miami bout? He won from Campolo. Charles and Robert!, and in winning showed nothin* to impress the rritic*. He was beaten by Jtisko. knocked out In a round bv Hansen, and refused to continue after being swished genUy on the panlies by a stray punch by Von Porat. On this record Muldoon insisted that he was still a top llieht pertormer and that he must be kept in the eliminations. It mieht be said that this was shamefully unfair, hut surely not to Seott, who progressed from match to match with a steadily mounting bank balance. a a a NOW as to the Miami misery: Muldoon says Scott was whipped before he went into the ring. I will admit that he was at a psychological disadvantage, but this was a disadvantage of his own creation. He had claimed foul and won by this means so often that it was almost a certainty he would claim foul again if the pressure became tight. ana This was an angle that the Sharkey crowd did not overlook, and the Sharkey crowd Is not one that places a heavy emphasis on scruples or sportsmanship, having been reared and nurtured In the ennobling traditions of the fight racket. ana I awing no towel for the Sharkey crowd and It is my belief that they went Into the fight resolved t> capitalize this favoring situation. At the same time I am eaually convinced that Scott cither through design or force of habit was prepared to do exactly what he did. Which was to fold when the — idriS bombarding became slightly irksa a I find In checking ..colt’s record that he folded in this mant r seven times all told, which Is probably record for this form of Mummrrv.

RABBIT WARSTLER TO BID FOR BIG LEAGUE TRIAL

Davies Is Victor in Close Tilt Two Furious Prelims Please Armory Crowd; Terris Here Next. Failure to lead coupled with inability to land a damaging blow during the few offensive moves he made cost Happy Atherton, Indianapolis flyweight, a ten-round decision Tuesday night in his bout with Willie Davies, Charleroi, Pa., at the Armory. The feature go of the five-bout card was "even-steven’i until the tenth frame, when Davies took the shade. Davies won the second, third, eighth and tenth rounds, with Atherton on the long end of the first, fourth and seventh, while three stanzas were even. Two preliminaries, Earl Ryder, Cincinnati feather, against Scotty Scotten, Indianapolis, and a sixround go between Buddy Bezenah, Cincinnati, and Roy Pierson, Indianapolis, were the crowd pieasers of the evening. In a whirlwind finish Ryder came from behind after four knockdowns to send the crowd on a yell spree in the final frame with his rally. Scotten got the verdict. Bezenah beat Pierson all the way, but the gameness of the Indianapolis junior welter kept him on his feet throughout. Steve Kaplan knocked out Billy Bowers in the opening prelim. Joe Lynn, Indianapolis feather, outfought Ray Palmer, St. Louis, in a slow eightround semi-windup. Need of anew canvas for the armory's ring was demonstrated frequently Monday night when practically every fighter slipped or fell on its overresined surface. Lou Terry, St. Louis lightweight, will meet Artie McCann of Philadelphit in the main go of next Tuesday's card, it was announced.

Abandonment of State PSet Meet improbable Due to Butler Lease

BY’ DICK MILLER With the big show over for another season. Hoosier basketball fans today discussed the many rumors concerning possible happenings j within the ranks of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, composed of 782 members. There has been much discontent | in the organization for the past five : or six years, most of it in the far northern section. Among the questions studied today rvere a group of problems set forth by A. L. Trester, commissioner of athletics, at a meeting of the Indiana Coaches Association last Thursday. “Is the state tournament necessary and are the results worth the effort.” was one of the questions asked by Trester. i Trester has come in for no small amount of criticism from those who were unable to gain tickets for the ; final games last week-end. So far, , he has avoided making an admis- | sion which some members of the board of control are ready to make. . That is, that while the tournament was played to a more widely scattered audience, a mistake was made ' in the distribution of tickets by the mail order plan, based on the enrollment of each school and the time the mail order was posted. One of the chief reasons for the ! muddle was the slicing of the regional winners' allotments from | 280 to 50, the change coming in the , last minute, and without a quorum of board members present. Trester also suggested abandonment of the state tourney for one or more years as a trial, but did not touch on the contract the I. H. S. A. A. has with Butler university. This contract has seven years to run at an annual rental of SIO,OOO, one year I of which is still paid in advance. It is admitted generally that failure to continue the tourney would be a breach of contract and that Butler , probably would be able to collect | the $60,000 yet to be paid.

Why have the members of the two leagues that are reported attempting to organize the twenty-seven school athletic association approached a certain man, asking him to accept the position of permanent secretary? If the I. H. S. A. A. breaks what will become of the treasury balance which now totals between $90,000 and $100,000? In the event the large schools merge and break from the I. H. 8. A. A., what will be the athletic life of the small schools, say schools with 400 and 500 enrollment or less? Ben Watt of Owensville, president of the I. H. S. A.

proposed that all home run sectors closer than 350 feet to the plate be screened off. He indicated that the acceptance of his idea depended on the attitude of the New York Yankees. All the other owners, he said were adverse to passing any legislation which might be interpreted as a possible blow at the Yankees. "I have asked our league to adopt a rule which would call for a thirtyfoot screen in all home run areas within 325 feet of the plate and twenty-foot screens between 325 and i 350 feet,” Barnard said.

32 Teams in Catholic Cage Meet Mississippi Five Favorite; Two Hoosier Squads to Compete. Bu T’nitrd Pr.ss CHICAGO. March 19.—Representing the east, the southwest and the middlewest, thirty-two parochial basketball teams tonight will begin their quest for the national Catholic high school basketball title. Brought here to compete in the annual Loyola university tournament, the teams represent twentythree states, the widwest representation which ever has entered the tournament. Outstanding in the entry list is the St. Stanislaus team of Bay St. Louis, Miss. That team has lost but one game out of twenty-four starts this year and the single defeat was administered by the Tulane university varsity five. Runner-up in last year's national tournament, the St. Stanislaus team is l-egarded as an outstanding favorite. There is another Dixie quintet which has drawn considerable notice. Father Ryan, high school of Nashville, Tenn., won eighteen of ibs twenty-one starts this year. The most promising entry from the east is Bishop England high school of Charleston, 3. C. Louisville, Ky., will be represented by St. Xavier. Cathedral High of Denver also has a strong record. The most formidable contenders in the middle west appear to be De La Salle of Chicago, winner of the national tournament last year, and Spaulding institute of Peoria, which won the Illinois Catholic championship this year. Decatur, the Indiana state champions, and Jasper, runners-up in the Hoosier tourney, also are strong contenders.

a great deal through their recent experience and it is quite possible that they can solve the problem, or at least relieve the situation.

Four College Net Stars on Pro Teams Attract Interest Dark Future Predicted for Two Murphys, McCracken and Foster; Reasons Given by Veteran,

BY WILLIAM BRAUCHER NEA Service Sports Editor CLEVELAND, O- March 19.—The decision of four great university basketball players to enter the professional game now that their collegiate careers are ended, has aroused wide comment. They are, the two Charles Murphys, Stretch of Purdue and Feed of Loyola; Bud Foster, the Wisconsin captain, and Branch McCracken. Indiana leader who set anew individual scoiing record in the Big Ten this season. The Murphys have joined up with the Chicago Bruins, where they will team with those famous Nats, Hickey and Holman, two of the greatest players in basketball. Foster attached his name to an Oshkosh, Wis„ team’s contract, while McCracken accepted a Ft. Wayne bid. College men. reaching heights In football and baseball, seldom gain stardom in pro cage circles. There is something lacking in their skill, apparently.

Loyola Stars Drop Purdue i Bv United Press I CHICAGO, March 19.—An all- ! star team composed of former Loyola university basketball players defeated a team of former Purdue players led by Stretch Murphy, 32-26.

Feed scored three field goals and two free throws as compared with the two field goals Stretch was able to garner.

They are fed the ball to score the points on their college teams, Pete said. In the pro game, they are but one-fifth of a five-man machine and must be able to pass, guard and shoot baskets with equal skill.
