JACK SHARKEY 3 TO 1 FAVORITE OVER CAMPOLO TON IGHT
Heavy Scrap Biggest Money Flop in Years Only 25,000 Expected at Garden Battle; Expenses Total $150,000, Far Over Gate; Bout to Be Put on Air. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—With two disappointing fights behind him, Jack Sharkey of Boston will attempt to hold his place in the front ranks of the heavyweight contenders for Max Schmeling’s title when he meets Vittorio Campolo of Argentina in a fifteen-round bout at Yankee stadium tonight. Memory of Sharkey’s two dismal failures against Phil Scott and Max Schmeling still is fresh in the minds of fight fans and tonight's match promises to be the biggest financial flop since the Tunney-Heeney bout

lowa Grid Mentor to Develop Soph Stars
BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 25. — lowa will complete Its 1930 Big Ten conference season either with a percentage of 1.000, or with an .000 rating, but, regardless of its standing, the Hawkeyes will make no claim to championship honors. When schedules were made last fall, lowa was under suspension for subsidizing athletes and when the ban was lifted Purdue was the only Big Ten school, which was able to find an open date for the Hawks. Lack of Big Ten competition is a fortunate break for coach Burton A. Ingwersen. With his powerful 1929 team shattered by graduation, inelibillty and “slush fund” suspensions, Ingwersen would have little chance of success if forced to play the usual quota of Conference rivals. The makeshift schedule enables Ingwersen to make his plans with no thought of conference standings and give him an opportunity to concentrate on sophomores and juniors in order to develop a team that will be able to hold its own in next year's Big Ten race when the Hawkeyes will be back with a full program. Only nine of last year’s twentyone major lettermen are available, the losses including Glassgow, allAmerica back; Farroh and Pape, star half backs, and Westra, Roberts and Magnussen, stalwarts of the 1929 line.

in 1928. With Sharkey guaranteed SIOO,OOO, Madison Square Garden will have to gross about $150,000 to break even on the bout. Campolo is getting $7,500, the rental promises to take about $15,000, and when other odds and ends are added up the total outlay may exceed $150,000. The advance sale up to today had barely reached the $70,000 mark, and the Garden’s last minute decision to allow the fight to be broadcast, selling this privilege for $15,000, was expected to keep away many more prospective customers. The crowd is not expected to exceed 25,000. The scrap will be broadcast over both national chains. Sharkey was a 3 to 1 favorite in the betting today, but the big, blustering Bostonian has blown so many chances in the past that there are quite a few critics today who believed Campolo was no worse than an even shot.
The returning lettermen include only three regulars from last year —Rogge and Reedquist, ends, and Ely, tackle. The others—Leo and Lloyd Jensvold, quarter backs; Sansen, full back; Benjamin, tackle; Mastrogany, end, and Higdon, guard, saw service as reserves. Reedquist, Rogge and Mawtrogany are expected to divide the end assignment in Saturday’s opening game, with Dolly, a sophomore, at center; Ely and Benjamin at tackles and Higdon and Tompkins at guards. The Jensvold twins probably will divide the quarterback duties, with Sansen at full back. Warrington, triple-threat sophomore, Is slated for duty at half back. Nelson, a Junior who always has won letters at baseball and track, is expected to fill the blocking half back post occupied last year by Mike Farroh. Other men are being developed from the sophomore squad and it is probable that before the season ends, lowa’s entire first team will be composed of players who will be available again next year.

Ruth Points Out Tight Defense as Big Factor Aiding Athletics
BY BABE RUTH There are two strong points about the Athletics that can not be emphasized too much as they go into the 1930 world series. One concerns their defense, which allows few of those real heavy scores to be rolled up against them. The other is their tendency to step out in the late innings and get enough runs to carry them through a tight game. We have been looking at these things in the American League ever
since the A’s became strong penant contenders. National Leaguers must remember them from the series with the Cubs last year. In four of the five games the Cubs scored a total of only nine runs. There was the power of defense. In the one game which showed Joe McCarthy’s team

Ruth
doing any real scoring the A’s made that famous rally with ten hits and ten runs In the seventh. That was in the fourth game and they put on a ninth-inning rally to take the fifth game. If batting records decided a series the A’s would be sunk. Their team hitting is far below six National League clubs and three of their own

The CRAIG ON CADLE CARD Six boxing bouts will be offered Monday, Oct. 6 at Cadle tabernacle with Sergeant George Craig appearing in the feature of eight rounds. Buck Krause plans weekly two-bit shows at the tabernacle. An opponent is being sought for Craig, exsoldier, who tips 225 and stands nearly seven feet. In addition to the main go Oct. 6 there will be a six-round bout and four scraps of four rounds each. PURDUE TO SCRIMMAGE By United Press LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 25. Purdue gridmen were in for a lengthy scrimmage today following a light workout Wednesday. Rain and a soggy field confined Wednesday’s drill to fundamentals, and Coach Kizer continued his search for a capale punter to take over the place left vacant by Pest Welch.

Grimes to Face Bucs Cards Oppose Pirates in Final Series of Season at St. Louis. Bu United Press . , ST. LOUIS, Sept. 25.—Burleigh Grimes was Manager Gabby Street’s choice today to face the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first game of the final series of the year for the league-leading St. Louis Cardinals. Arriving Wednesday night to be met by 3,000 cheering fans, the Cardinals all were reported in top condition for the final drive. The Cards had a chance today to clinch the pennant. If the Cardinals should win from Pittsburgh and the Chicago Cubs lost to Cincinnati, St. Louis would clinch the flag. Even if the Cards dropped its three remaining games after today and the Cubs won its next three games, St. Louis would finish one game ahead. The Cardinals can clinch the flag by winning two of its remaining four games, regardless of what the Cubs do in their remaining games. If the Cubs lose one game, the best they can do is tie for the pennant, even if the Cardinals should lose four in a row to the Pirates.

league. Simmons, Cochrane and Foxx stand out as strong hitters, but the remainder of the cast runs from fair to light. Asa hitting and scoring machine Connie Mack’s team will trail its National League rival. But we have found in our league the A’s can win consistently and let other teams take the hitting and scoring honors. Tight defense is the answer. By defense I don’t mean simply the stopping of grounders and the catching of flies. It includes pitching as well as the backstopping, inflelding and outfielding. Without any question the A’s are tougher to score on than any other team in our league. They make fewer errors. They get tighter pitching. You seldom see another club completely overpower Connie’s team with hits and runs to win by a top heavy score. Those A’s can pull themselves together and stop rallies better than any other team that I know of. The power of the Athletics’ denfense Is best told In figures. Here is a team that is clearly outbatted by nine of the fifteen other big league clubs. And yet Mack’s team leads them all by a good margin in winning games. The value of team balance over the base hit is strongly indicated in thg 1930 returns. One Philadelphia club has been hitting around .315 all season and it is sunk in last place. The other one is hitting
Bulldogs went through a long drill under the lights Wednesday night. Eligibility has become almost as big as a problem as getting the football team in shape for the opening game, according to Coach Harry Bell. He was to meet with the faculty committee this afternoon to give the squad a final eligibility going over. Check of the 1929 squad reveals that Robert Schopf, star tackle; John Cavosie, stellar back; Jack Walsh, tackle; Robert Fair, end, and Robert Jarrett, back field man, already have been declared ineligible. The five-year rule eliminates Keddon, McCarthy, Strahl, and maybe others to be determined today. Howard Chadd, George Nulf, Kerinerk Wachnitz, McMahon, Butz, Collins and Wakefield of last year’s team or former stars will be unable to play. Os a squad of forty freshmen last year, Norris, Skinner, Conrad, Marsh. Eynatten and English were ruled ineligible. Os the 1929 freshman squad only Compton, Raber, Ennis, Ressler, Pollzotto, Brant, Elser, Sullivan and Zimmerman are practicing with the varsity this fall.
Fourteen Hoosier Squads to See Grid Action This Week
Hoosier collegiate football will get under way this week-end, with nine games involving fourteen state elevens scheduled for Indiana gridirons. Only four teams will wait until the following week to open. Indiana will open an eight-game schedule with Miami, a non-confer-ence foe. Little has been said about the Crimson this fall, but Pat Pasre is expected to round out a strong team which may cause trouble. Butler still is cleaning house. Coach Harry M. Bell is determined not to permit the Bulldogs to proceed this fall in any questionable way. Rulings and ineligibilities have cut the squad to the smallest in years and the new Butler mentor faces an extremely difficult task. Friday night, Butler will tackle Indiana Central. In their opening game last week, the Greyhounds exhibited a fast running attack, and if Coach Good has bolstered his defense, the Blue eleven will have tough going in their night inaugural at Fairview bowl. Central Normal and Danville will clash under the arcs at Crawfordsville. These two teams staged a nip and tuck battle last season, the
New Coach at Danville
CENTRAL NORMAL will oppose Wabash college on the gridiron at Crawfordsville Friday night at 8, the game being the lid-lifter of the season for both teams. Frank Barnes, new athletic director at Central Normal in Danville will get his baptism as a college mentor, having moved up from the Danville high school to succeed Russell Cook who Joined forces with the American Legion. Barnes is assisted by Grant Walls, former Central star, and has a strong eleven this fall. KAPLAN WHIPS CHAMP Bu United Press HARTFORD, Conn., Sept. 25.

Jones Leads Coleman 2 Up at Eighteenth
Bu United Press MERION CRICKET CLUB, ARDMORE, Pa., Sept. 25.—Bobby Jones, king of all golfdom, ran into trouble on the first eighteen holes of his thirty-six hole third round match of the national amateur golf tournament here today, but led Fay Coleman of Culver City, Cal., 2 up, after eighteen holes. Bobby was off his game and fin-
about .293, and it walked into a pennant with plenty to spare. The A’s did not need any such hitting strength, because they have had a powerful defense to work with and an attack that might be called only a little above normal. The Athletics have made fewer errors this year than any other major league club. (Copyright. 1930. by The Christy Walsh Syndicate) Tiger Wins in Second Round Jimmy Jones, Negro middleweight who substituted for Chief Jack Elkhart in the main go at Tomlinson hall Wednesday night, was flattened in the second round by the flashy Roy (Tiger) Williams, Chicago Negro. Elkhart was injured on the last day of training, according Xb the promoters. Shifty Calloway, local Negro, was outweighed by several pounds in his bout with Kid Slaughter, Terre Haute, but made a fine showing in a four-rounder, Slaughter winning on points. It was the night’s best bout. Other results: Kid Wall outpointed Kid Henry, four rounds, and Tuffy Mitchell defeated Jack Haris In four rounds. The Brltt-Robertts bout was cancelled, Only a smaU crowd attended.
Holloway and Pierson Signed
Roy Pierson and Red Holloway, local rivals in the glove profession, will meet in a six-rounder as one of the features on the supporting card for the George Cook-Waiter Pickerd heavyweight match at Tomlinson hall next Tuesday night.
