Talking It Over BT JOE WILLIAMS

New YORK, April 19.—A committee of investigation representing the metropolitan division pf the A- A. U., has absolved the nonexistent Brooklyn college of all censure In the more or less famous Jack Elder case. You may recall the circumstances. and the background. To begin with there has been no Brooklyn college for eight or ten years. This institution was founded in 1909 and then went out of existence. Nevertheless a program of indoor events to which admissions are charged has been staged annually under its auspices. It is e.'.plained that the funds derived there rom are devoted to the maintenance of athletics at a preparatory branch of the defunct college. a a a La it January a gentleman by the name of James Rflllr waa *.nnoonced a* the promoter of the annual meet anil one of hip tar attraction* was Jack Elder, the Notre Dame sprinter who bad pained the metropolitan bradline* at an earlier date by yparinr a forward pass on hi* own 4-yard-Hne and running for a ae-nsstfonal tonebdown to beat the Army. a a a THIS achievement plus Elder's established standing as a sprinter, made him a very desirable box office attraction. In the advance publicity sent to the newspapers by the promoter it was specifically stated that Elder would compete in the popular Olympic sprint series -a series of dashes ranging from 60 yards to 100 meters. Four of the press notices which were received in this office read, in part, as follows: t. "Karl Wildermulh wM oppose Jack Cider and other star* In the Olympic sprint serin at the Brooklyn college meet.” 2. "When Jack Elder meets the world’s foromost pprinter* In the Olympic sprint series." 8. "Despite the known speed of Elder, Kart Wiiderrauth la the favorite in the Olympic spring series." . "Outstanding competitor*: Special sprints at SO, 15, 100 yards and 100 meters —Elder. Wfldermutb. Daley, etc.” a a a THESE quotations would seem to imply very definitely that if Elder did nothing else he would appear In the Olympic sprint series. The meet was held Jan. 18 and for several weeks preceding it the promoter's publicity continued to stress the appearance of Elder as a participant in the sprint series, and the newspapers continued to feature his appearance accordingly. ana A few days before the meet the promoter let It be known, without taking the express trouble to correct the earlier statements, that Elder would compete In only two events, a special "record attempt" against (as it later proved) an inconsequential field and for only one race In the three-race Olympic series. The result wap that a great many persons were probably lured to the Thirteenth Regiment armory through the misrepresentations of tho advance press notices. This precipitated the Investigation referred to In the opening paragraph of this column. JOHN J. DEIGN AN presided as chairman of the investigating committee. The findings of the committee were interesting and hilarious. No evidence of intended deception was found. If anybody was at fault it was the newspapers! a a a The prlie fight fellows have been telling reporters one thing and meaning another with no other notion in mind than an increased gate figure and I Imagine It is only natural that a track promoter should feel privileged to exercise the same subtle tactics. a a a The distressing feature of this situation is that Reilly may have succeeded In making the boys smarter and that when and if he sends around press notices in the future nobody will read them.

DEDICATE SHOWS GREAT FORM IN DERBY TRIAL

Mid-W est Star Wins Close Race Son of Dodge-On Time Comes From Behind to Beat Ante-Bellum. BY BERT DEMBY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. April 19.—Though showing nothing sensational, Dedicate, the son of Dodge-On Time, has stepped eff to a good start in thff campaign which the middlewest hopes will lead him to victory in the Kentucky Derby next month. The fastest 2-year-old in this section last year, Dedicate rewarded his backers from a field of Derby eligibles by a length at Lexington Friday and in doing so proved to racegoers that he can do something he hadn’t been called on to do before—come from behind. Asa 2-year-o!d, he was oft so fast that he usually had a ten length lead before the race was a quarter of a mile old. But Friday over the Futurity Course (170 feet less than three quarters of a mile), he was off slowly and looked at the heels of Ante-Bellum on the back stretch and was at one time three lengths behind. Then he showed the stuff which was the property of Reigh Count, Bubbling Over and other great horses. With an eighth of a mile to go, Dedicate came up even with ante-Bellum and the two ran neck and neck for a few strides. Jockey Du Bois hit him with the whip and he tore out to win. The concensus seems to be that if dedicate leads Tannery under the wire he will become the unanimous choice in the middlewestern betting. He and Tannery probably will settle the Issue next week. The one problem concerning Dedicate Is whether he can go the Derby distance of a mile and a quarter, but the driving finish he put on Friday indicated that he had much left at the end of the race.

Sampson to Ride With Meyer in Five-Century Speed Race Champion’s Original Backer to Act as ‘Grease Ball” in 16-Cylinder Creation; 1928 Event Recalled.

Alden Sampson. 27-year-old financial patron of speed, today entered the sixteen-cylinder car Champion Louis Meyer will drive in the eighteenth international 500-mile race here May 30, It was Sampson’s finances that gave Meyer the chance to drive in the 1928 Indianapolis race, which he won. Meyer is now enjoying his second consecutive year as American racing champion. “But I’m going to have some real action in the coming race,” declared Sampson in paying the entry fee for the car, indicating that all the activity he has had so far is with pen and check book. “I’m going to ride with Louie this year.” Sampson and Meyer form a peculiar racing combination of youngsters. They met at the Atlantic City speedway in 1927 when Meyer was mechanic for Frank Elliott and Sampson was entered in a stock car race. When May. 1928, rolled around, and tne speedway at Indianapolis was a whirlwind of activity in pre-

Not One Dime in Hole After Giving Phillies Winner Burt Shotton Proves Miracle in Economy With Less Than $75,000 Involved and Balanced in Building Formidable Lineup in Two Years.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 19.—The inside story of how he built the Phillies into a formidable team in two years on a shoestring was told to

the United Press Friday by Manager Burt Shotton. The Phils finished last in 1928 and fifth last year—.lßl 'points higher. "It hasn't cost a dime to put together this team which I consider every inch a pennant contender,” said Shotton. “The revenue

Shotton

received from the O’Doul-Leach deal with the Giants and inoney obtained from other players has balanced the cash we had to spend.” Checking over the 1930 team with Shotton it was revealed that less than $75,000 was involved in acquiring all his players. There are only four players—Thompson, Friberg, Willoughby and Williams—on the Phillies who were there when Shotton arrived in 1928. Four smart trades played a prominent part in building up the team. Here’s how Shotton got his regulars: First base. Hurst, trade. Cardinals; second base. Thompson, already on hand: shortstop. Thevenow, trade. Cardinals; third brse. Whitney, draft. $4,000; left field, O’Doul. trade. Giants; center field. Southern, recalled; right field. Klein, purchased, $7,500; catcher, Davis, trade, Cardinals: catcher. McCurdy, trade Cardinals; pitcher; Sweetland. draft. $2,500; pitcher. Koupal, trade. Brooklyn; pitcher, Alexander, trade. Cardinals; pitcher. Benge, draft. $4,000; pitcher. Willoughby, already on hand: pitcher. Smythe. trade, Asheville. Shotton's version of the famous O’Doul-Leach trade follows: •‘Wet got enough money from the Giants in addition to O’Doul to balance a previous trade we had made with the Cardinals in which we got Hurst, Thevenow, Davis and Peel. At the time we made the O’DoulLeach trade we had no idea O’Doul would become the National League batting champion. We figured it about an even-up trade.” Five From Cardinals In two trades with the Cardinals, in 1928 and this winter, the Phillies obtained five regulars—Davis, McCurdy, Alexander, Hurst and Thevenow—and parted with only catcher Jimmy Wilson and outfielder Peel, who previously had been obtained in the recent first deal with the Cards, and pitcher Bob McGraw, now back in the minors. The other trade was with Brooklyn, Luther

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

paration for the 500-mile run, Meyer appeared and announced he was through with being a “grease ball” as mechanics are affectionately called. “I’m going to buy a car,” he announced. But nobody had the slightest idea what he was going to use for money. Finally big Phil Shafer, master of a two-car team, made Meyer a price on his second car. Two days later Meyer appeared in Shafer’s garage, traded currency for the car and said: “I’ve a pal named Sampson in Tippecanoe City, O. He owned a garage. He wasn’t having much action in the garage business. When I saw a chance to buy the car I phoned him. He sold the garage and we bought the car.” Meyer won the race, approximately $40,000, the championship and a pile of trophies, medals and newspaper fame. It has been a going concern ever since. Last year the Sampson-Meyer entry came home second and again Meyer became the Yankee champion in points for the year’s campaigning.

Predicts Runner-Up Battle Shotten expects the Cubs, provided their 1929 team is kept intact, to win the pennant again, but thinks the league is stronger and that they will be pushed to the limit. "The fight for second place should be between the Giants and Pirates,” said Shotton. “But it may turn out to be a five-team battle for second place, with the Phillies, Cardinals and Brooklyn right up in the struggle.”

Berghammer’s Brewers Move in to Tangle Up With Corriden’s Tribe i " ,r Jonnard Billed for Indian Mound Duty Today and Cvengros on Sunday; Great Pitching by Bid Burwell Wasted Friday.

With the opening series of the new campaign out of the way followed by the first schedule shift, the Indians of Johnny Corriden were to meet Marty Berghammer’s Milwaukee Brewers this afternoon in the first of a four-game set at the West Washington street open air theater. The champion Kansas City Blues were in Louisville after breaking even in the only two games staged here while the Home Brews came up from Derbytown with one victory’ out of four starts with A1 Sothoron’s pastimers. The last shall be first, the Toledo Hens were chirping today, as they preened themselves at the top of the American Association standing gloating over the honor of being the first team in undisputed possession of the top rung in the 1930 race. Casey Stengel’s boys finished last in 1929, and now they are leading the parade as a result of dilligent bolstering. Mike Kelly's Minneapolis Millers were knocked off three in a row by the Hens, the only club able to escape defeat in the inaugural series of the twentyninth A. A. campaign. Cvengros Sunday Claude Jonnard, Nashville speed ball artist and formerly of the Brewers, was slated to take the Tribe mound this afternoon in the series opener with the Cream City outfit and on Sunday Mike Cvengros will draw the local pitching assignment.

Seldom has he pitched a better game, but his mates fell

Cards’ Rookie Gets Eleven Hits in Thirteen Attempts George Fisher, Obtained From Giants, Steals Cheers From Other St. Louis Stars in Cubs’ Series.

He is George Fisher, native of Avon, Minn., up for his third chance in the big leagues, and so far looking like a. million. Here is Fisher’s record to date at bat as a St. Louis Cardinal in four games with the Chicago Cubs: April 15.—Three singles, one double, grounded out. April 16.—Three singles, one double, one walk. April 17.—Grounded out (only time up). April 18.—Two singles, one double, one walk.

Camera, Six Others May Be Ousted by California Board Commission May Bar Big Italian and Handlers From State at Meeting Monday.

BY CARLE H. BENNETT United Press Staff Correspondent. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 19. —lntended as consolation for agitated boxing fans who spent $26,000 to see Primo Camera, Italy’s strong man, beat Leon Chevalier on a technicality, a drastic plan of action against seven men connected with the bout, including Camera, was regarded today as lacking only final formalities before being carried out. The California athletic commission will meet here Monday in a special session and is expected to vote that Camera shall not be allowed to bo:; again in California, as recommended by Charles F. Traung, commissioner for northern California, in a lengthy report issued Friday night.

Bud Taylor Favorite in La Barba Go Bu United Press CHICAGO, April 19.—Both ambitious for the featherweight title, now held by Bat Battalino, Bud Taylor and Fidel La Barba finished training for their ten-round bout here Monday night. Bringing together two men who employ the same style of fighting, the battle promises to be a duel of left hands, and it will be the first of an elimination series planned by promoter Jack Dempsey for the purpose of obtaining an opponent’ for Battalino in an outdoor championship fight this summer. Taylor was a slight favorite in the betting and the advance ticket sale indicated that the show maybe the first in which Dempsey will make money.

down In the field and on base, and it was a case of blotto for the Indians at the conclusion of nine innings. The hits were six apiece, but the champions played errorless ball while two of three Tribe miscues played a part in the scoring of both Kansas City runs. Burwell Poles Homer A home run by Burwell produced the lone Tribe marker off Max Thomas, a southpaw who baffled the Indians time and again when runners were in position to score. The home nine “blew” a run in the eighth and halted a rally when Joe Sprinz failed to slide and was doubled up at tne plate coming in from third after Gerken caught Sicking’s fly. Sprinz was ready to hang himself after that one, and it’s a sure thing that no member of the Indians will make the mistake again. Decided in Ninth The winning run went over in the ninth when Carlyle doubled, after two out, and scored when Hoffman aparently took his eyes off Grigsby’s line and dropped it. Ollie Bejina also showed poor baseball when he fielded Carlyle’s safety and threw it in the air to Sicking, instead of hopping it. Any kind of a toss on the ground within Sicking’s reach would have been an easy out. The other K. C. run was registered in the fourth when Carlyle doubled after two down and scored on Grigsby’s single to left, which Barnhart booted. It had to be scored as an earned run under the circumstances, but it was a good guess that the truckhorse Carlyle could have been held on third or flagged at the plate if the miscue had not occurred.

Two weeks ago, when Wallie Roettger was traded to the New New York Giants by the Cards for Eddie Farr el an dFisher, the question was: “Who is Fisher?’ Gabby Street, manager, and President Sam Breadon let it be known that Fisher was "just another outfielder. We’ll probably send him to Rochester right away.” Then Ernie Orsatti’ ankle was hurt and Fisher got his chance. He used it, and in placeof such 6tars as Botomley, Frisch and Hafey Fisher gets the cheers when he steps to the plate. Fisher, 28 years old, broke in with the Dakota league in 1920 as a pitcher. He played for Minneapolis and Indianapolis, was owned by Washington, appearing in the Eastern League and for the last three years for Buffalo in the International.

tions that Robert Perry, one of Chevalier’s seconds, had been “inspired by some person connected with the management of Camera” when he threw teh towel into the ring while Chevalier, a 216-pound Negro, was trading blows with the Italian as the sixth round ended. He criticised Chevalier’s manager, Tim McGrath and chief second, Robert Laga, for not objecting when the towel was thrown. Frank Churchill, western representative for Camera, also was ,inder fire.

Local Sunday League Ready for Campaign Some old-fashioned baseball Interest is expected to be revived locally with the organization of the Sunday afternoon municipal league under the direction of David Kilgore, city recreation director.
