Talking It Over

BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—1 think it can be stated with some truth that wrestling has got anew foothold in the metropolis. Not to mention a toe hold, a head lock and a body scissors. 1 mean to say the ancient sport is back on the big time. I witnessed a strange spectacle Monday night. Frenzied men and women storming the doors of Madison Square Garden. Mounted cops trying futilely to preserve the municipal dignity. Amazed attendants opening emergency entrances, and a boiling, roaring cascade of humans flowing through the portals, bowling over ushers and scrambling for seats. And all because Jack Curley, promoter, was tossing what he smilingly called a heavyweight wrestling championship. a a a No such phenomenon could have developed without cause or reason and the answer in this instance seems to be that the customers have crown weary of hippodrominc prize fighters and have turned to the grunters and groaners who are much more skilled in the broader ihases of theatricalism. a a a Certainly it is significant of something fchen a wrestling program can provoke a Tiot at the Garden while a prize fight card leaves the customers cold and tne seats empty. They were selling squeezing from Monday night as early as 7:30 and Mr. Curley probably speaks the truth when he says thousands were turned away, a a a YOU are told there is no accounting for tastes and yet it is easy to understand how a person might turn from one form of wormwood as a steady diet to another. After some of the unsavory prize fights that have been committed hereabouts recently a fine old uproarious, rough and tumble wrestling show with all the familiar trappings is a refreshing thing, a a a It doesn’t make a great deal of difference whether the big feUows are leveling. At least the performance is always exciting. And that seems to be all that anybody cares about. I think the most astonishing thing about wrestling is that it has continued to endure in spite of the universal belief that it is all done with mirrors. a a a In no other sport will you see so much physical "torture” and human "suffering.” or what passes for these sadistic delights. Eyes are gouged. Hair is pulled. Arms and legs are twisted to what seems far beyond the breaking point. Occasionally a rousing haymaker is planted on the button. Some of the more eccentric artists effect the mannerisms of mountain goats and drive their noodles into an opponent's entrails. a a a THE emotional reactions of the customers is edifying indeed, they love it. The more brutal it looks the greater the thrill. Nothing short of a bloodless program ever satisfied. You get the uncomfortable feeling that if it were still proper to feed Christians to lions Mr. Curley could attract a million dollar gate with his clientele, ana The “championshib” Monday was between Jim Londos, the Greek, and Ferenc Hoiuban, the Hungarian caveman. Londos. defending fcis “championship,” or that part of it which is not claimed by Gus Sonnenberg, Don George and others, successfully mangled his little 231 pound playmate in due time and with many gaudy flourishes, using a crotch hold, a whirling over head movement and a glowering rrimace. a a a It was a very spectacular climax and when it was completed hundreds of Londos' followers leaped to their feet and emitted strange guttural sounds attesting to their, cast admiration. Londos is a well set up young man in his early thirties and I am told is one of the best wrestlers the game has ever known. His opponent is a physical freak and to students of natural history must have suggested a well fed dinosaur, or some contemporary land mammal of similar breed. A DEMPSEY could take Holuban’s neck and use it for a torso and still look bloated. He appears in the ring with his head freshly shaven, and totally bald, a grisly detail which scarcely adds to his loveliness. a a a In his highest triumph of makeup the late Lone Chaney never managed to achieve such an incredible creation. The carcass of Hoiuban stuffed and mounted would make an interesting exhibit in any museum.

BIG' BILL TILDEN VUITJJ MAtLUR TENNTS

Veteran Net Champion Accepts Movie Offer Star of Courts Leaves Game at 37, Past Prime; Won Seven U. S. Titles, Three British Crowns and Many Other Honors. BY HENRY MCLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 31—Following in the wake of Bobby Jones, William T. Tilden, seven times national tennis champion and regarded by many as the greatest player the game has ever seen, has turned his back on amateur competition. Like Jones, whose retirement preceded Big Bill’s by several weeks, Tilden will journey to Hollywood to make a series of movie shorts demonstrating and explaining the shots that made him famous. His contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer calls for his appearance on the Pacific coast within a month.

Cathedral Is Cage Victor By Times Special VINCENNES, Ind., Dec. 31—Rallying’in the final period after being held even and l Jig the first half, Cathedral of Indianapolis cagers trounced Gibault of v incennes here Tuesday, 22 to 16. At the intermission, the rivals were deadlocked, 9 to 9. The game was unusually rough, thirty-three personal fouls being called. Three local players and one Cathedral regular were ejected from the game on fouls. Sweeney, guard, was outstanding for Cathedral and Marchino was best for the locals.

Cruising in Sportland

HEINIE MEINE has advised Pittsburgh officials he has recovered his health and will be on hand for regular duty next year, all of which gladdens the hearts of Pirate fans. Meine is no easy slabster to beat when in shape. He was a bearcat in the American Association when under the wing of Eddie Zwilling at Kansas City and the Buccaneers missed him after his retirement during the latter part of the 1930 season. Pirate fandom predicts Remy Kremer will win twenty-five games next season if bad luck stays away from the team, The veteran captured twenty last season while losing twelve and that’s as many as Pat Malone won with the powerful Cubs behind him. Pittsburgh is doing considerable boasting about the mound staff this winter and the good news from Meine has increased the cheers. Look ’em over: Kremer, Brame, French, Wood, Swetonic, Meine, Willoughby, Grant, Spencer and Bednar, This list does not include green rookies. Wood, up from Wichita, became a hero during the windup days last fall and the entire National League will be watching his form next spring. His marvelous record after making the long jump from class A to the big time set tongues wagging throughout the circuit. The Pirate catching staff is nothing to rave over at the moment, but Hemsley will be able to carry the burden until help is found if the rookie receivers fail down.

WHEN Bob Shawkey was at the Montreal minor league convention he thought he had connected up with Portland as manager for next year, but it seems the club owner stepped out the night following the verbal agreement with Shawkey and in the morning Bob was informed Spencer Abbott became Portland pilot during the wee sma hours. And Shawkey left singing: “I’m a Dreamer, Montreal” Canada wet cost Shawkey a job, and when informed the 1931 convention would be held in West Baden, Ind., Bob said: “Dry territory is one year too late for me.” IRA THOMAS, coach with the Athletics, is out with the forecast the Mackmen will repeat as pennant winners next year. He says the hoys are determined to give the popular Connie Mack a record in copping the American League title three successive times. Lefty Grove is quoted as saying he would give his left arm to>put ’er over and George Eamshaw is said to have chimed in with a willingness to retire if the feat is accomplished. For a time the St. Louis Brownies were interested in landing Willie Kamm, White Sox third sacker, but according to a recent statement by Manager Bill Kiilefer, he doesn’t care for Willie. Too temperamental, says Kiilefer. Chicago papers stick to the rumor that Kamm will be traded for Lou Fonseca of Cleveland. Cuddy De Marco, Pittsburgh pugilist, who has been seen in these parts, was eloping with a Pennsylvania college girl the other dav when the police nabbed the couple, returned the femme home and held De Marco In Jail on a charge of stealing an auto. The car used by the elopers belonged to the girl’s dad. She denied they had been drinking. De Marco recently served five months on a rubber check charge, it is said. Running off with college shebas is a rather snooty pastime for pugs. Art Shires explained to the Hollywood police that the brass “knucks” found in his possession were given him as Christmas present. Hardly fair to San a Claus, we’d say, but Arthur needed an alibi. Shires is slated to play with Milwaukee next year and Manager Berghammer will be sitting up these wintry nights figuring on what kind of armor to wear when banding out orders to the Texan. Author ownie bush launched into an article Tuesday to describe the “greatest play he ever saw,” and left readers out on a limb. He failed to describe the play. We’ll tell him one. In 1525 when Ownie was managing the Indians and during a hot struggle between the Indians and Louisville he called Fred Fitzsimmons from the bull pen with the count three balls and no strikes on the batter, third baseman Ballenger, and Fitz struck out the hitter on three zippers and later in the game knocked down drives through the box with his teeth. On that day, the Indians winning, Johnny Evers was scouting for the New York Giants and was seated in an upper box. When Fitz fajmed the fire-eating BaUenger and foUowed up with a marvelous display of heavyweight pitching and fielding, Evers leaped to his feet and dashed for a telephone. “I’ve seen enough.” said Evert, “and I’m going to tell John McGraw to buy this guy Fits at once.” The deal was made that day by long distance phone and you can ask McGraw If he got cheated. He’ll say no. “No more setups,” rules the prohibition director. Boxing promoters please note. New Year’s eve and another struggle. We hope we make it.

The terms of the contract are not known, but it is believed unlikely that Tilden will earn the $250,000 that Jones is expected to receive for his golf serials. Jones quit when he was at the peak of his skill and fame, Tilden when he had slipped fropi the heights. Tilden announced his retirement in a letter to Holcombe Ward, chairman of the amateur rules committee of the United States Lawn Tennis Association. Tilden accepted his contract as meaning he was through as a “simon pure.” What Tilden plans to do after the talking shorts are completed is not known, but it is reported that he plans to make several exhibition tours, playing with and against other other American professionals. Tilden now is 37 years old, well beyond the age limit for great athletes. Yet only last summer he marched through a great field at Wimbledon to take his third British singles championship. Since 1920, in addition to winning the national singles championship seven times, Tilden also captured the national doubles five times. As a member of American Davis cup teams for ten years, Tilden defeated more than his share of opponents. In the 1930 cup play he scored America’s lone point with a victory over Jean Borotra.

GIANTS BUY HURLER By Timrs Special NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Roscoe Shepherd, Memphis hurler, who was second among Southern Association pitchers in effectiveness last season with an earned run average of 3.21 each nine-inning game, has been acquired by the New York Giants in a straight cash deal. He won twelve and lost four games last year. Andy Reese, utility infielder and outfielder, was sent to Oakland of the Pacific Coast League by the Giants to complete the deal which will bring Johnny Vergez, slugging third baseman to New York.

Wise Move By United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Big Bill Tilden made a wise move in capitalizing his tennis skill, in the opinion of Dr. Phillip B. Hawk, president of the West Side Tennis Club and member of the ranking committee of the U. S. L. T. A. “If Tilden had stayed in competition,” Dr. Hawk said, “he probably would have received nothing more substantial than a number of severe lickings. He was well past his prime and could not hope to cope successfully with the younger stars. In the movies he will receive money, a very important thing in this day and time.”

A Personal Message from Samuel L. Trotcky Vve figured out that the best way to start the New Year is to lay all my cards on the table face tip — and here they are: IndianaP has completely revolutionized the automobile service game. In spite of the business depression we have completely reorganized and revamped our business until we are showing a volume of double a year ago. Wonderful, isn’t it? But it was just a case of hard work, long hours and applied brains—a determination to overcome all obstacles—and we are ijoing ahead at a still faster pace from now on. We promise you for 1931 some wonderful new developments in car washing. Within sixty days we will introduce five-minute car washing—and a 100% perfect job —and the price will still be SOc. We shall still continue to grease cars at 50c, and by mid-summer we will be able to offer service that can grease 300 cars a day, and as that famous pair would say, “Ain’t that something?” We shall continue to merchandise gasoline , oils and batteries at the lowest possible margins—reducing prices as our volume continues to increase. Our merchandising policies are determined by ourselves—no one dictates oUr prices or our policies. Any effort to force otir prices will be met by price reductions—even if it becomes necessary to operate that department at a loss. IndianaP will continue to set the pace. Big Chief IndianaP is a determined warrior. Battle scarred and beaten and bruised at times, he still packs a nasty wallop and there is dynamite in both fists. 1931 will be a battle—a survival of the fittest. Business generally will be slow adjusting itself. Spring will bring a faint revival. By Fall things will get a little better. We predict a slow recovery, although we hope we are wrong. We realize the value of every penny spent. We pledge you more for your money than any other station can give you.

Star, Johnny Wooden. The Bailermakers played a close defensive game and ten successful free throws in thirteen attempts gave Pitt its winning points. Purdue scored only four out of seven free throws. After abandoning defensive tactics when trailing, 17 to 11, late in the game the Boilermakers came within one basket of tieing the count. Pitt Rallies Pitt rallied after trailing at the start and was in front 12 to 6 at half time. With three minutes of the game to play and Purdue trailing by four points, Coach Lambert sent Wooden, flashy guard into the game. Despite an injured leg, Wooden dribbled half the length of the floor to cut Pitt’s lead to two points and almost scored again before the Panthers grabbed the ball and stalled until the final gun. Marquette’s victory over Wisconsin was the second in history for the Milwaukee school. Marquette’s only previous win over Wisconsin was a 9-to-8 decision in 1923. It was the Badgers’ first defeat of the season. Chicago Shows Form Chicago showed unexpected class against Brigham Young and staged several rallies to keep the contest close.
