Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Dec. 18—By royal command of the cauliflower court of the empire state, Herr Liederkranz Schmeling, moaninglow champion of the heavyweights, must come back to this country and defend his championship agains 4 - good old Jack Sharkey of Boston next summer. n a a Hirr Liederkrum must and this in pur;ia>it of the boxing commissioners’ orders - - a f[er the revocation of his official -andcur on the ground that he has not •r tended his title In six months. a a tt To some of us. it would seem that the cre fact Schmeling hasn’t fought in ;months Is a circumstance that should ■rlt nothing less than hearty cheers by ’.I sundry. Certair.lv it is not easy to ontemplate a return meeting between im and good old Jack with any great motional restraint. an u r mean to say that when you consider Ameling and good old Jack made a nuslng four-round fiasco out of what as to have betn a championship battle ,;at summer, with each of the young ,enti bouncing jauntily from the ring Ith $1",000 in negotiable assets. It Is a it surprising that anybody should be iger to see the spectacle repeated. a an PARTICULARLY surprising is Lie eagerness of the commissioners m the month of December to confirm a boxing date that can’t posibly materialize before next June. This naturally provokes an inquisiivc “why?” tt a tt Os course, vou never can tell v.bat the * nmmisJkioners are roinz to do, addicted .s thev are to sudden and stranze whim•cal urzes. In this Instance they seeni nainlv conc*rncal nith forclnz Srhmelinz to box Sharkey, whether he wants to or not. n n tt Searching for a reason you reach the ruther obvious conclusion that the commissioners want to make dfnte that ■Schmeling does not sign to fight someone oilier than good old Jack. That, my dear ■' atson. seems elemental. tt tt tt Whom then are the commissioners maneuvering against? Can the bright laced little boy with the red lw tie in the first row give teacher the answer? Beefo Camera? Correct. tt B U '■[''HE Becfo and his interesting A handlers have been persona non potatoes with the commissioners for a long time and apparently the commissioners intend to see they remain in precisely that same position for a much longer time. With all his faults and feet the Beefo is still the god of the gallery, a pituitary monster who, in spite of his crudities, ethically ane manually, has managed to capture the imagination of the pew holders. tt tt tt \ On moral grounds the commissioners ian not be criticised for their pious attitude toward the Beefo and his handled, because the boss used everything, hut a horse and a masked rider in their fistic banditry through the hinterlands. Moreover. there is no nartieular reason whv the Brefo should be accepted as what is loosely designated as a logical contender, tt has been demonstrated several times that he is just a hooligan. a a tt Another thing, good old Jack is probblv still the best of a mediocre and ■rratic lot of American heavyweights. So on a!’ material counts the commissioners ;re following a logical procedure in inistlnc that Herr Liederkranz defend his title against the man who fouled him—the aid foul coming, to add to the aforementioned logic, after the German had h een beaten from Broadway to Unter den Linden. Just the same the furious rush of the commissioners to get Schmellng’s name on the dotted line Is mystifying.

Riddle, owner, the glory of the greatest racer that ever faced the barrier. The careers of Kununer and Man O’ War touched the same peak in 1920 at Windsor, Ont., where the match race between Man O’ War and Sir Barton, Commander J. K. L. Ross’ great champion, was held to decide the horse racing supremacy of the world. What was supposed to have been a classic ended in a run-away, and at the finish Man O’ War was ten lengths ahead. Earlier in the year Man O’ War and Kummer had an even greater triumph when the Riddle horse went the mile 'and furlong at Aqueduct in 1:49 1-5, a world record. Accounts of that race all contained the line: “Man O’ War was fautlessly handled by Jockey Kummer.” The widow and two children. Jacqueline, 6, and Allred, 8, survive.

Chicago Offers Schmeling Half Million to Meet Strib

BY HENRY M’LEMORE Tnited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—Five hundred thousand dollars being net one cent less than half a million dollars no matter how long or which way you count it, Joe Jacobs manager of Max Schmeling, was running in wide circles today. The magic words—half a million —almost forgotten in prize fight circles, were whispered into Jacobs’ ears Wednesday by Matchmaker Nate Lewis of the Chicago stadium. The half a million was Schmeling’s, Lewis told Jacobs, if the heavyweight champion would risk his title against W. L. (Young) Stribling at Chicago in June. Lewis had nq more than spoken the magic words and waved the telegram from stadium officials giving him the right to utter them, than Jacobs began his circling. “Half a million and me already promised Schmeling to the milk fund for its June or September card,” Jacobs muttered.

Cruising in Sportland WITH EDDIE ASH

ONE club that is not battling the big leagues in the draft controversy is Indianapolis, the Tribe officials entertaining the belief a friendly settlement with the majors would react to the advantage of all concerned, class double A circuits and in fact the entire baseball structure. Owner Perry, Secretary Clauer and Manager Corriden gave the matter long study and were disappointed when the minor league draft committee and major representatives failed to reach an agreement. According to their slant at the problem, everything will be lovely when spring rolls around and the diamond spirit once more is abroad in the land—north, south, east and west. The Coast League is doing the large part of the fighting against the player draft, but is expected to come to bat and hit in turn before the bells ring for the next championship races. tt tt tt tt tt tt Central Michigan high school basketball officials have found a way to relieve the physical strain on the youngsters when teams become deadlocked, and go into overtime play. The central conference bosses hare ruled that after one overtime period and the score remains in a knot, the members of each quintet are to shoot free throws to decide the winner. That novel method is okay with us, for even one overtime session saps the boys’ endurance and leaves them limp and gasping.

B B B DURING the recent major-minor league draft powwow when certain big league owners complained about the high prices they were forced to pay the minors for talent, the San Francisco club representative asked Barney Dreyfuss, Pittsburgh boss, if he (Dreyfuss) would return Paul Waner to “San Fran” for the same amount he paid for the star.

Four Teams Loom as Big Ten Title Leaders Northwestern Rated Pre-Season Cage Favorite. Wittt Michigan, Purdue and Indiana as Serious Threats in Close Race.

Dec. 18.—Northwestern, Michigan and Purdue, leaders m the 1930 western conference football race, are riding the crest of the athletic wave and hope to continue their dominance throughout the Big; Ten basketball race. Indiana, a far outsider in football, threatens to break into the leaders’ ranks in the cage position, however. Northwestern occupies the pre-season “favorite” role, just as it did in football.

Purdue has lost three stars in Murphy, Harmeson and Boots, but ! is certain to play an important part in the race. Purdue and Indiana, located in the greatest high school basketball state, always have a wealth of material. Indiana, like Purdue, is bewailing the loss of a great player—Branch McCracken—but with several letter men from last year and a promising group of sophomore candidates, coach Everette Dean promises to develop a team that will be among the leaders throughout the race.
