Talking It Over
BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—Thi* Is automobile week in the big town and of course Barney Cfldfleld is around giving the boys the pump handle. Old Man Time is creeping up on Barney, but he still carries a full cargo or zip arid zling, not to mention zest. To many of the current sophomores, Barney is .something of a legend, like Lydia Pinkham and Murray and Mack. But in his day he was the symbol of flaming daredeviltry on the speed tracks. a • a Barney and tha automobile r.amr Into ytromlnynre at about the same time. He uaed to fiddle around In the crude machine •hop* with Henrr Ford, and when Henry surrendered to an emotional moment many years aro and fashioned a raelnc car, Barney drove It. a m m Bamev was the first American to drive a car a mile a minute. In those day# that •was almost ai thrilling and astonishing a* hopping across the ocean in an airplane. man Most of the soon* men who were foolinc around with those crazy contraptions called gaa bucales at the time Barnes was settine new track records daily continued to take a serious Interest In the development of the Industrv and today are multi-mil-lionaires. nna THE sporting instinct was too strongly developed in Barney for him to settle down to business. He let the other fellows build the cars and he took them out to see how fast he could make them go. Barney has been a true troubadour of sport. He has driven racing cars all over the world. From 1900 to 1910 his name was synonymous with speed. Sport lias offered no mere picturesque or exciting etching than the helmeted Barney with a cigar jammed between his teeth roaring down the stretch, the powerful motors of his car singing, “Clear the track. Here I come.’’ a b a If Barney bad been willing to shake the raring fever from his nomadic system and stay behl- and in the hum drum laboratory with the ther pioneers of motoring, the chances aie today he would be ranked In banking circles with the Firestone*, the Fords, the Chrysler!, the Durants and the aloans. But Barney elected to take his millions In fun. and it's typical of the man that his choice seems to have brought him an enduring happiness. BUB Barney probably has gone through several sizeable fortunes. An Ironic twist or Tate tripped him a year ago atter he had decided to settle down to a quiet home life with what he had saved. Overnight the -.courge of Wall Street led him : tripped, and forced him to swing back into aettvitv. It was as if the gods re- ; ented one of their adventurous sons stepping out of the battle lines. Into peace and privacy. BUB Barney is starting all over again, a clerk In a Detroit brokersage house. But j one of these day* he will probably be hack in the race with that Inevitable cigar arrewed In hi* mouth and the motors In his swashbuckling heart humming the old j fighting song: "Clear the track.. Here j 1 come.’’

Cruising in Sportland WITH EDDIE ASH
WHILE BABE RUTH declares it will be about five years before he’ll be looking around for a manager’s job to keep him in the majors, close followers of the Yankees do not share that opinion and give him three at the most. In fact the big fellow has fooled nearly everybody by hanging on this long as a star mainstay on the big line still filling the role of home run threat and main cog in the New- York machine. When Babe slumped late in August last year the team fell away and from the middle of August to the season’s end lost more games than were tacked on the victory side. He collected forty homers up to Aug. 18 and hit only five the remainder of the campaigh. As Babe goes, so go the Yankees, still held good. a a a a a a Joe McCarthy’s task, therefore, will be to keep Old Man Jinx off Babe's neck and the Yankee trainer’s problem will be to see that the Bambino's legs stay firm and his waistline tamed. Ruth’s huge contract expires this year and he realizes it will take a mighty record on his part to assure the same salary in 1932. Hack Wilson out-homered the Babe last year by the big margin of ten circuit wallops and naturally this incident disturbed Ruth no little. In recent years Ruth has been a business man as well as a ball player and only by recapturing the home run crown this season can his prestige as “big news” be kept in the sought-after class. It will be just too bad for the pitchers if Babe once more gains the heights.
THE Gene Rye youth on the Boston Red Sox roster, up from j Waco, is a parcel of dynamite and j for reasons other than he happens { to be a resident of Chicago. Stand- : ing only five feet, five inches, the Italian youth (real name Mercantelli) slapped out twenty-six home runs in the Texas loop in 1930 and is the lad who poked out three circuit swats in one inning when his club put over an 18-run one-inning rally against Beaumont. Even if he fails to make the big league grade, Gene has etched his name in the record book for all time. a a a Rye is a natural athlete and during the off-season often participates in football, basketball and indoor baseball. lie graduated to league ball from Windy City semipro nines. His 1930 batting average .365 and extra base hits in addition to homers were thirty-eight doubles and six triples. a a a IN the “big” inning against Beaumont Rye batted in eight runs with his three homers. First up he opened the eighth-inning rally with a drive over the fence, repeated with two on his second time and on his third trip to the plate in the same stanza against sent the sphere out of the park with the bases loaded. Joe Munson, former Indianapolis pastimer, walked twice and singled during the bombardment. a a a On the opening day of the 1930 campaign, Rye smacked three homers during the clash with San Antonio, in the struggle in which he hit three homers in one inning. Gene also poled a single and double in previous innings, and in another game socred five times and batted in five runs. a a a From the outset Rye’s lack of stature will be against him in the majors, but there’s Hack Wilson, you know, standing only five feet six. When Wilson was with Toledo In the American Association, before he was drafted by the Cubs, he was not the slugging phenom of today. a a a STALLING in basket ball is a pain In the neck to the impartial spectator and the followers of the team that is trailing, the tactics consisting of holding the ball by the squad out in front. Stalling in ice hockey as played by the leagues Is practiced, but in an opposite manner. The leading team lets the other side have the puck and then bears down on defense, using every trick of the game to protect their own cage. The hockey system never fails to speed up the contest and the fans see excitement on the ice that resembles warfare. The theory is that ] it is easier to defend than score and at the same time both squads are keyed to the highest pitch. As for the fans, it’s the kind of excitement they enjoy for their money, a a a IT is reported Johnny Farrell, the golfer, was chased by a rattlesnake in Miami the other day.

Blue Five Cops Again Butler Easily Defeats State Normal: Louisville Foe Tonight. BY DICK MILLER Butler cage fans were unable to find very much in the fray between the Bulldogs and Indiana State Teachers five of Terre Haute at the fleldhouse Friday night to become excited about. They went home satisfied the 35 to 23 score could have been just about anything Coach Tony Hinkle might have wanted. Disappointment came even before the game started, when Lester Reynolds, who is remembered as the terror of the hardwood at Martinsville high school, trotted on the floor almost unrecognized. Reynolds, much heavier than he was in high school, still retains his old ability in handling the ball, however. The Terre Haute five got off to an early game lead, which lasted only a short time. Midway in the first half, Withrow and Chadd set about the business of pushing Butler out in front. The period ended 16-9, Butler. The Bulldogs boosted the count to 30 to 9. Hinkle substituted freely and the boys from Terre Haute crept up until they were only behind an even dozen points when the final gun fired. Tackett played his usual splendid defensive game and all the other Bulldog regulars got into the scoring column with two or more field goals, Withrow getting five. It was Butlers sixth consecutive triumph. They play at Louisville tonight. Lineup and summary. BUTLER (351. STATE (23'. i taste? ? Chadd. it.. 3 2 8 Martin. 1 1 3 Tackett K o 0 OL.

BY EVERETT S. DEAN Basketball Coach, Indiana University A N offensive formation that is particularly good for high school basketball teams is one successfully employed by Ohio State and Indiana university quintets. With the ball out-of-bounds in the defensive end, the back guard (Gl) may pass In to the floor guard (G 2) who advances the ball by dribbling to the -front line defense. Here the forward (FI) breaks toward the center ring, receiving a pass from (G 2); (G 2) then follows up his pass, reaching for the ball as he rims past (FI), who fakes the pass, but pivots in the opposite direction and passes to (F2) breaking to the four ring sector. In this strategic spot (F2) can pass to (FI) breaking past his left to the basket, to the center breaking on his right or to (G 2) who will be in good shooting position. (Gl) advances to the open section on the right side of the court,

Mac Smith F avori ite Two-Time Champ Choice in SIO,OOO Open Golf Event. By United Frets LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10.—The nation’s greatest money golf players teed off today in the sixth annual SIO,OOO Los Angeles open golf tournament over the Wilshire Country Club course. First prize is $3,500. Delayed a day in starting because of heavy rains, the tournament will consist of eighteen holes today, another eighteen Sunday and a final thirty-six on Monday. Out of a field of 133 starters, the low sixty - four scores and ties at the end of thirty-six holes will qualify for the last day’s play. Tuesday the troupe of golfers will move to Agua Caliente for the $25,000 open tournament Wednesday, Thursdav, Friday and Saturday. The field for the Los Angeles open was considered one of the finest in history outside the national open. MacDonald Smith, who won the 1928 tournament over the Wilshire course and repeated at Riviera in 1929. was installed a favorite to become a three-time winner. Others who were considered prominent contenders included Walter Hagen, Horton Smith, Tony Manero, George Von Elm, Gene Sarazen. Leo Diegel, Tommy Armour and Mortie Dutra.
The extra two rounds, added when Harvey explained he was a slow starter and needed at least twelve to “get going,” probably cost the British boy the decision. Dundee took the last two rounds, the margin of victory. Harvey came within a breath of making the first round the last round. The fight was less than a minute underway when Dundee dropped from a smoking left hook to the face. He got up after a nine count and Harvey promptly dropped him again for the same count with an overhand right. Dundee managed, however, to last out the round, and was apparently none the worse when he came out for the second. Dundee did not get underway until the fourth. At this point he found the range of Harvey’s slender waist and began smashing away with both fists. He was working on the same target when the fight ended. Dundee never threatened to score a knockout, but had the Englishman bleeding badly from the nose and mouth from the fourth round on. A cleverer boxer than Dundee Harvey sacrificed his chances for a decision in the hope of a knockout. Inspired by his first round knockdowns. the Englishman discarded style for slugging. He landed several clean lefts and rights late In the fight but Dundee’s body attack had robbed them of their snap.
