Talkative Coast Pug Just Fair

BY JOE WILLIAMS NEW YORK. Dec. 20.—When you are asked to accept a young heavyweight who has had only twenty-seven fights —and these mostly against dried gourds—as another Dempsey, and he steps out against a third rater, and blows he duke, as the boys say—well, you ust can't get hysterical about him. a a a Os course. If vou’-.e got a sente of :.hier. and vou aren't too easily swayed • the ballyhoo. .vou ire going to know ght off that it takes a groat deal more .an twenty-seven fights, even real fights. make another Dempsev. granting that e necesarv raw esseiuail* exist toir.:ierc in the boxing gold mines. 808 % Young Max Baer of California came into ;e Garden ring Friday night rated high, de and handsome and aftee ten rounds ' f battling, which ran the eamnt from Yrb drama to taw comedy, the derision, ell merited, was given to bis opponent, nie Scbaaf of Boston, one of the younger . ial horses of the world's Quecnsberry lab’e n b a After it was all over the best you could iv without trifling with the (acts vas vat the coast youth is a prospect. Some f the old timers tell you he is an excel’it prospect, and. for all 1 know mavbe e is. At anv rate he didn't beat Scbaaf. id others less distinguished have, and turallv he didn't stop him—which was at he had to do to crash into the t:\yweight picture. a a a "■pHE young man had scored 1 110 knockdowns in 100 rounds 'or to his start Friday night didn't rave Sehaaf on the floor once—which goes to prove. I suppose, that t knockdown against a stuffed shirt one thing and a knockdown gainst a geezer who knows what it all about is something else. a a a It that there were moments when It . nked as If Baer might not only fatten bis knockout average, but do wbat his more emotional cappers predicted be would do. namely, stiffen the journeyman sailor for the foil count. But Baer tired easily. His condition seemed poor, and what opportunities he had he wasted or was lnor.pabie of capitalizing. 808 - Baer's unskilled technique was evident from-tiie start. His mannerisms suggested an individual demonstration of the ring deportment you see in a business men's r,m class at an Uptown emb He threw punches like an outfielder trying to cut a run off at the plate. Most of the tune he was wide- open for counter shots. It ■ was lust as well he was not facing a sharp shooter He wouldn't have gone far. a a a It will be a long time before he is rcadv for any oposition more formidable than the Earnest Scbuafs of the ring. He is a .rood hitter in much the same way that a slugging batter is a good hitt-r. He is just as likely to score a home run as strike out—and he was striking out more often Fridav night than bitting. a a a I suspect too. that his hitting power, have been over-estimated. He banged Sehaaf flush with his right often enough to drop him if there had been anv real . dvnamite in Ills gloves. A couple of times he made Sehaaf's knees flutter and once he spun him around with a clean hit. but ! *hat, was as close as he came to blowing up the works. a a a BAER flashed Ills best form in the early rounds. His idea, if | any, seemed to be to concentrate on i Sehaaf's middle and bring his guard down for chin execution. As early as the third he . had Sehaaf holding on and breaking ground, i There were two fast toe-to-toe ral- j lies in this round and the exertion seemed to take a lot out of the westerner. BUB From then on be didn't show so well. Although he had enough left to colaborate with Scbaaf in a six-round flare up that was the high light. Os the fight. I mean it was a high light if you can rail the vneetacle of two young brutes standing nearly erect taking deliberate aim and firing, fist after fist, few of them missing, at each other. u a b There was about as much science involved in the procedure as is attached to the business of scratching one' ear. Yet ( >uch is the spiritual depravity of our modern civilization that every customer in the Garden stood on lis feet and shrieked ! with pagan frenzy. The guv who led the shrieking was old Colonel Williams down ! in the press row B B B AFTER the orgy of punching Baer was definitely finished, and in the next round, Sehaaf bet- j ter conditioned, and more hardened to the hammering game, came back with an attack that had the Cal- i ifornian staggering and helpless. Any kind of a well directed punch would have put him down. BUB But Sehaaf is a confirmed third rater lacking the capoclfy—'as well as the punch—so rise to big moments, and Baer weathered the round. Again in the eighth bchaaf took mrasured punches at bis fast weakening foeman but it all came under the head of healthful exercise under are i; rhts. BUB Baer was a gamester to the end and th the fight already cone against, him i made a callant effort to prove the illvhoo on which he rode into a main ' out in the Oarden w asn't entirely v ithut foundation. He tagged Sehaaf with a .ght that was both startling and damag- : lg in its effect and when the final bell nnged he was still in there winging.

CRAIG WOOD SETS PACE IN OPEN GOLF EVENT

Pro Is 2 Under Par Eastern Star Only Entry to Go Below 71 Figure. BY GEORGE KTRKSEY, United Pres* SUff Correspondent PASADENA, Cal.. Dec. 20.—Craig Wood, Bloomfield, N. J., started “the ccond round over the Brookside park course today, two up on his nearest rivals in the third annual Pasadena $4,000 open golf tournament. Wood, who won the first Pasadena open two years ago, shot a 69 Friday, and was the only player in the original field of 188 to better par, which is 71. Five players were bracketed in second place, with 71 each for the first round. They were Tommy Armour. A1 Espinosa. Ben Ritchter, Frank Walsh and Joe Kirkwood. Armour had an excellent chance to tie Wood for the lead but he took three putts on the eighteenth green for a 71, when a par four would have put him abreast of the leader. When play started today, the field was reduced to the low 100 scores and ties. Darkness prevented twenty-three players from finishing their first round Friday, making the exact field uncertain. At the end of the second round today the low forty-eight scores and ties will be eligible for the final thirty-six holes Sunday. The first actual competition in tournament medal play with the new bigger and lighter golf ball proved that many of the leading golfers are quite likely to have trouble on the greens until they get more accustomed to the lighter ball. On the whole, the drives were not quite as far as is customary with the smaller bail. Fighting to get back in the front ranks after many months of disastrous competition, Walter Hagen climbed up on the heels of the leaders with a 72. He missed a twelve-inch putt on the eighteenth green. Horton Smith, defending champion, tied for twenty-ninth with a 73.

The contest marked De Pauw’s first appearance m a Buckeye conference contest, but the victory does not count in the final standing, as the Tigers are on a two-year probation test.

Local Prep Quintets WinThree Qut of Six Contests

It remained for Shdrtridge, Manual and Park schools to keep opponents of Indianapolis high school basketball teams from making it a complete route Friday night. They hung up impressive victories, while Tech, Broad Ripple and Washington went down to defeat in hard fought frays. Manual defeated Westfield at the southside gym. 40 to 11, and Shortridge tripped Elwood at the northside gym, 20 to 9. Tech took a beating at Lebanon, 22 to 16, while Washington was defeated by Ben Davis, 39 to 30. Eddie Deiderich took his Ripple team on a trip to Wabash and the game ended, 29 to 24 in the upstaters favor. Lou Reichel’s Park boys beat Fishers, 17 to 14. Coach Peterman’s boys at Shortridge produced a sterling defense and confined Elwocd shots to the long range variety. Led by Gage, with seven points, and Heckman with five, the locals were never in danger. Eleven Manual boys saw service in the Westfield fray, and all of them showed scoring ability. With exception of Stuart, guard, all the boys hit the hoop. Brandt with

WHILE the rest of the state is talking basketball, weather and Christmas, townfolk of Washington and Vincennes, particularly the former, continue their wrangle over the Hart case. One of the latest developments on the battle front was an editorial by Ed Brouillette condemning the I. H. S. A.

It was a free scoring game at Bridgeport, and the westsiders had a 20-13 lead on Ben Davis at the half. Led by Starnes and Toler, the Davis five knotted the count in the second half. Saunders and Blankenship again put the Continentals in the lead, but the final drive launched by Ben Davis gave them a nine-point win. After trailing 13 to 7 at the half. Broad Ripple spurted in the third quarter, and led by Ferguson, who scored ten points in the game, closed the gap to 23 to 21. Madden and Plummer looped in a couple and the Wabash team again went far out in the lead. Walter also helped in the heavy scoring for Wabash, while Lee and Dearinger were the biggest help to Ferguson with six and five points, respectively. With Everly and F.

Fulkerson opined that Hart really was eligible, that his ouster was based on letters from St. Francesville officials who wrote from memory and not from record, since the records failed to reveal Hart’s enrollment at St. FrancesviHe, and that nerhaps St. Francesviile might have been a little peeved because Hart- walked out on them. tt tt Chick Yarbrough, the other Washlnethat 2'2 veals ,or father confirms* thft John Adams wasn’t alone in protestnfg Hart ,to the I.

Brinley, Brigham forward, nosed out Chadd and Withrow of the locals for high scoring honors. He connected five times from the field and five from the free throw line. Withrow caught sLx field tries and two free throws for 14 points, while Chadd also got six buckets and a free throw.

Cruising in Sport-land

COLLIER'S WEEKLY all-America football team for 1930 bears all the •earmarks of the answer to the circulation manager’s prayer. The selection covers wide territory with the exception that no player in Hawaii was named. No doubt Collier readers in Honolulu will be disappointed, but why bring that up? Collier readers, if any on the Indian reservations, wifi find Rabbit Weller's name in the honorable mention group. The Rabbit would make a pretty good third stringer at that for anybody’s team. Os course, all-America teams never play a game as such, but anyway Collier’s selected a couple of utility men and Washington State is represented by the stalwart center, Hein, listed as reserve lineman. He would look good at end, yes? a tt tt BUB The Collier’s grid committee supplied a laugh with an explanatory paragraph evidently used for the pur pore of deposing of Marchy Schwartz, the Notre Dame whiz. The committee speaking: “On a heavy track, Schwartz frequently was stopped at the lire of scrimmage. Suddenly five of his mates gave him perfect blocking and he ran fifty-four yards for a touchdown. Without this blocking he could not have run fifty-four inches with the field as it was.” So there, you silly. Anyway Carideo was chosen by Collier's and of the eleven regular positions eleven different colleges received representation. Business is business.

ANDY LOTSHAW, weU-known 1 in Indianapolis, will retain his ! job as club trainer with the Chicago Cubs under Rogers Hornsby. The new pilot is smart enough to appre- j ciate the ability of the former In- j dianapolis pastimer who has been with the Cubs for a long stretch. Lotshaw also acts as trainer for the Chicago Bears, pro grid team, and Chicago Bruins, pro basket squad. n n a Lotshaw was a home-run clouter and wound up his playing career j by helping Indianapolis win the j pennant in 1917 and also the little j world’s series that fall. Andy was club trainer and late in the season I when injuries struck the team, Man- j ager Jack Hendricks promoted the ! veteran to right field. tt tt tt IT won’t be long. The Cubs will be the first ball club to depart for spring training, about seven weeks away, Feb. 12, to be exact. Trainer Lotshaw will have everything in shape and ready for work when the first squad of athletes check in at camp. tt M Joe Tinker desires to try umpiring. The old shortstop was wealthy cnee in Florida real estate, but went down with the deflation. He has j teen manager, business manager j and scout. Joe was a terror when j serving as pilot in the American Association, his line of chatter causing more than one opposing player to go to pieces. tt ti a One of Tinker’s pet riding schemes was to learn the exact amount of salary a player was getting and then squat in his dugout and call the turn to a nickel, especially on players who happened to be working for small pay. The league prexy finally was compelled to step in amd order Joe to pipe down. Club owners ana managers were having too many battles J with indignant athletes. tt tt a Next year will be the first appearance of the veteran George Sisler 'in the minor leagues. He was released by the Boston j Braves and Rochester gave him a bonus j to sign with the Red Wings. He went j direct from college hall, at Michigan uni- j versity. to the St. Louis Browns in 1915. j and stayed on major rosters until this j month. SISLER batted .420 for the Browns ! in 1922 and holds the American League record for hits in one sea- : son, 257, the year he established his | high average. During one streak, j George hit safely in forty-one con- j secutive games. He was a skillful j and graceful first sacker and a flash j on the base paths. tttte College Humor, the magazine, has gone j to the front for campus baseball and today Les Gage, Humor sports editor, led an all-star Yankee college nine on a trip to Cuba to play a series of games with the Island rah rah boys. tt tt a Unemployment is menacing nearly all ; business and craft, yet baseball is alarmed over the shortage of expert catchers. Kids coming up in the game dc- not choose to don the backstop tools and the big leagues are worried. It’s a break of good luck for veteran receivers, but they can not last forever. Scouts have been advised to spread the news of patching dearth to the sandlots. high schools and colleges. That’s one line of endeavor the machinery age won’t hurt. Howard “fttzgerald, outfielder, who will pao .ime with Indianapolis next season, served with Wichita Falls in the Texas League for seven years. Fans there hoped he would be named manager, but when the club prexy was unable to bring about the arrangement, he ! rewarded the fly chaser by permitting him to go to faster company. n a a Dick KinseHa, for many years a scout I for the New York Giants, has received notice he is at liberty to try to better ; himself. Harsh notice at his age. Mc- ! Graw has taken on Chief Bender, the old | pitcher, as coach to work with the stalwart right hander.

Griffith Seeks Chance hi Heavy Elimination Tourney

BY DIXOX STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 20.—An open challenge to "any or all aspirants to the heavyweight championship” by Tuffy Griffith today provided a refreshing contrast to the titular impasse resulting from rival contenders’ desire to “hand pick” opponents. Griffith’s deft, issued in hopes of winning a place in any elimination program preceding Max Schmeling's first title defense, marks the opening of a campaign which the 23-year-old lowan hopes will lead him to the heavyweight championship. “I may not be the world’s best heavyweight,” Griffith told the

Maxie May Lose Title i Heavy Champ’s Answer to Sharkey Challenge Unsatisfactory. By United Press NEW YORK. Dec. 20.—Max Sehmeling. heavyweight champion of the world, today stood in danger of having his title vacated by the Npw York boxing commission. Last Tuesday the commission ordered the German to agree within fifteen days to meet Jack Sharkey in a title bout. Friday the commission received the following reply from the champion: “Gentlemen: Joe Jacobs is now my sole manager and I have just cabled him to go before your body and handle the matter as he knows what to do. Regards.” Inasmuch as Jacobs is under* suspension and thus ineligible to act for the champion. Schmeling's answer was highly unsatisfactory. The commission told the United Press that Sehmeling “had better talk English or he will be without a title.” It is believed the commission, unless Sehmeling within fifteen days agrees to the Sharkey bout, will declare the German's title vacant. Jacobs did not appear before thw commission, but he has already expressed disapproval of a SchmelingSharkey bout until the latter haa proved himself the best challenger in the field. Should both the commission and Jacobs persist in their present impasse, Sehmeling title may be vacated as far as New York state is concerned, but he would be eligible to fight as champion in Illinois under the National Boxing Association sanction.

United Press, "but if I'm not, I! want to find it out now. If I can't reach the top, it is time to quit the game. "Some folk are counting me out of the running because I lost a disputed decision to Stribling, but it was that fight which convinced me I can become champion. I’d always ducked Strib because I thought he was the best man in the class. “Now, that I’ve fought, and r think defeated him, I’m confident I can beat them all. If Madison Square Garden, Chicago stadium or the boxing commissions want to decide the world championship I’ll take part in an elimination series, or I’ll fight Stribling, Sharkey, Carnera and all other contenders one after the other, to prove my right to a title bout.’’ Griffith, youngest of the current title contenders, has advanced to rating among the “first five” in less tfian two years of heavyweight campaigning. He has been fighting for five years, but did not become a heavyweight until 1929. A close fight with Stribling at Chicago stadium a week ago definitely re-established Griffith as a top-notcher. He entered the ring as a 2 to 1 underdog, but carried the fight so Stribling and outboxed the Georgian for the first eight rounds. Stribling won the official decision, but a majority of the fans and experts disagreed.
