Talking It Ovek BY JOE WILLIAMS —

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—1 t may be that when the best minds and serloug thinkers get around to building anew world it will be decided that among other things there shall be no laws of any kind. It would be interesting to see just how such a world would make out. ' ana While T have been lowed Into court a roupie of limes br sensitive prize Artier* •nd in that way have made the acoualntanee of several distlnrofabed bailiff* and professional bondsmen. I do not profess to know a treat deal about either the me- • banlrs or virtues of law. ,aa . a I do know, however, that !n sports the science of Jurisprudence is not an unfailing guarantee of Deace. harmony or nrotfrfcfis. and there are times when the existence of laws and regulations seem merely to serve as a challenge to greater flights of deviltry. a a a Beading the newspaper*, you learn that practically every orison in the country is overcrowded aid this in spite of the fact that there are more laws today than ever, a condition which must be very depressing to the moralists of the land. a a a ANY amateur student of the human society, as it is sometimes lightly called, can convint* you without any great effort that it is not e isy to reform a man by legislation. Catch-as-catch-can guzzling did not become a fashionable family pastime until Volstead set thei eighteenth amendment to words and music. a a a In recent years it bu become the practice of various prize fight commissions to make and unmake champions In executive session. Prom time to time, these commissions also devise forma of ethical procedure and moral conduct which the members of the bruising profession are ordered to observe. And vet the prize flrht game today, as has been pointed out before, is more loosely regulated, more immoral, and closer to chaos than It has been In twenty rears. The trouble ijes not so much with the, laws as with the enforcement of them. a a a JAMES FARLEY of the New York boxing commission recently vacated the heavyweight championship of Max Schmeling, the German, and in doing so charged him with ingratitude. a a a “Who made Schmeling the champion?" vsks Mr. Farley. Then he tells you the ■ ommisslon performed this gracious act. But what right ha* the commission to make anybody a champion? \a a a With a catch in his throat and large tcßrs of Indignation in his Irish blue eyes, Mr. Farley points out that the commission deliberately broke one of Its own rules in 2 r . r JP make certain a meeting between Schmeling and Sharkey last summer. a a a 0 This rule happened to be very important in that It guaranteed the public a degree of protection. The rule penalized a foul to the extent that the guilty fighter would be able to collect only in ratio to the number of rounds fought. a a a Naturally It teas obnoxious to the fighters, and when the fighters'refused to accept the rule, Mr. Farley, the public's -afetv man. agreed to waive it. After all wHo were the customers? a a a OF course it. is impossible to tell what might have happened if the rule had been enforced. Faced with the prospect of losing more than two-thirds of his purse Sharkey might have exercised more control over his punches. a a tt rherg Is also a chance that the German might not have cared to risk a similar loss and that he would have got up, or at least agreed to come back and give the new holders a slow trot for their white alley after a brief rest. Five minutes aftter the low punch he was thoroughly binself. a a a ‘ But the main coin; is that Mr Farlev me chief Justice of ;l-,e cauliflower •■rs b nnfii'r>n> as Kli - ilty of flagrant misuse .„ £nn vken he attempts to lustily Ills disoarment of Schmeling on the ■"round that the fighter broke a promise rl.rf 0 !* 0 * commission he does not succeed in making himseif look wholly logical or rational.

BEECH GROVE FAVORITE IN COUNTY NET MEET

4 Squads in Running BY DICK MILLER With first and second round play completed and consolation games being played this morning, county net sport followers await with interest the semi-final clashes carded for this afternoon in the Marion county basketball tournament, underway at the Armory. Lawrence and Beech Grove, both of whom won first round games Friday afternoon and advanced into the semi-finals by virtue of second round byes, were to clash at 2 p. m. Ben Davis and Valley Mills were the other two teams scheduled to meet at 3. According to dope. Beech Grove, a fast-passing, clever little team had the favorite’s position. They romped over their first opponent, New Augusta, 40 to 13, with Terhune and McElroy showing very adept basket eyes. The rest they gained by a bye in the second round adds to their advantage. On the other hand, Ben Davis was forced to the limit to down Warren Central in the opening tournament game, 23 to 22. Ben Davis likewise was pressed all the way in the evening game by South - port with a heighth advantage teil‘in<| in their favor. They defeated the Cardinals, 17-11. West Newton found the sailing easy against Castleton, winning 30 to 16, but in the Friday night game couldn’t get by Valley Mills. Valley Millls was spotty against Acton as they won, 28 to 17, but in the night game got together against Newton to win, 22 to 19. Lawrence, fourth team in the semi-finals, came through the only overtime game of the tournament Friday with a 30-to-25 verdict over Oaklandon. This morning Oaklandon played New Augusta and Southport and West Newton clashed, the winners meeting in the final game for the consolation championship at 7:30 tonight as a curtain raiser for the championship game an hour later. Tracy Praised by Champion Tracy Cox, local feather pride, who is to meet Midget Mike O'Dowd in a ten-round scrap at the Armory Tuesday, recently spent several weeks at Hot Springs, Ark., where he boxed with Tommy Freeman, world’s welter champ, and the Brightwood boy made a big hit with the titleholder, for a letter from Freeman states: “After working with Tracy Cox in the gymnasium, and after watching him work with other boys, it is my honest opinion he is positively one of the most promising boys I have ever seen. Cox possesses all the requirements of a great lighter.” Tracy will workout at the Arcade Sunday afternoon, where he is training for his clash with O’Dowd. LOUISVILLE FIVE HERE South Side Turner netters are in top condition for their game Sunday at C p. m. when the University Club of Louisville comes here. The game will be played at Turner gym, 3CS Prospect street. Turners have been showing great form in their last two games. The visitors are reported to be the strongest in the Blue Grass state.

Cruising in Sportland WITH EDDIE ASH

ACCORDING to a line of chatter handed out by one of the prominent scriveners in the major leagues, the Chicago Cubs made an offer of $150,000 for Chuck Klein, the hefty Hoosier slugger with the Phillies. It is said if the deal had been made the Bruins planned to trade Ki Ki Cuyler to the Cardinals for Jim Bottomley. Another rumor said the Wrigley interests waved a SIOO,OOO check in an effort to buy Pinkie Whitney and a $250,000 check for both Klein and Whitney. That’s what you cal! real money, but perhaps it’s best for the National League that Philadelphia refused to make the transaction. The Cubs would have been all-powerful and a runaway race might have developed to ruin the circuit’s balance. The National is fortunate that way and piles up the profits while the American League wins the world's series. a a a a a a

About sixteen years ago the late William F. Baker, who was president of the Phillies, asked a friend to recommend a young woman t*. be his secretary. The friend introduced to Baker the present Mrs. G. P. Nugent, who is now treasurer of the club and owns 500 shares of the stock. She never had seen a baseball game before entering the employ of OWnei; Baker. Moreover her husband is the Philly business manager and one of the directors. Baker often said the main reason he engaged a girl for secretary was because she didn't know 7 a thing about baseball.

tt tt tt HORNSBY'S Cubs are keeping a sharp eye on the dangerous Robins and Giants, and that, in a way, explains the landing of the southpaw' hurlers, Sweetland and May, They are not high class hurlers, but have a reputation for being effective when opposing Brooklyn and New York. Hornsby is figuring every edge to make good as Joe McCarthy’s successor and. keep the popularity of the Cubs at high pitch. They earned . tremendous profits* under McCarthy. tt X tt This doesn't speak well for California. Long George Kelly lives cut theic, but prefers to play ball in the east. He turned down an offer by Los Angeles. st tt BADLY battered in an auto accident, old Rube Benton, the Minneapolis southpaw, is recovering and says he’ll be in there again tossing his curve at A. A. batters next season. His cheek bone was shattered and both hands lacerated, surgeons repaired his southpaw fin and the Rube is confident of coming back. n n Ownie Bush is due back from Florida next week. He has been down Miami way vacationing and mingling with the winter tourists. He prefers Texas for spring training, however, and his Pale Hose will return to San Antonio. The grind will be on in about six weeks, tt tt tt When Hear! (Oil) Smith, the catcher, was with Pittsburgh, he employed every means to get the goat of John McGrar. when the Pirates tangled up with the Giants. One day he got to the Giants 'oat bov and begged him to tip him off to McGraw's signals. Earl said to the lad. “When McGraw signs for fast ball, scratch -our ear and when he signs for a curve oat the back of your neck. The boy replied: “Nothing noing. About the time I patted mv neck Mr. McGraw would be patting me with his foot in. the seat of mv pants.” tt tt tt Rumors heard up and down the west coast say players in that league who are droning big nay are going to be cut. which means the 85,000 and over boTs. Atlanta in the Southern loon is threatening to make wholesale reductions, 25 per cent in some cases. That’s bad news for the players being sent to Atlanta by the White Sox. PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE teams are going to the assistance of clubs in the Arizona State League and will send young players to that loop. Missions of San Francisco will aid Tucson, the Seals of San Francisco will help Globe and Los Angeles will farm some athletes at Phoenix. . a tt tt During the winter of 1921, Bill Klem, National League umpire, was moaning as be shoveled snow off the walk in front of his Brooklyn home. It was cold and otherwise disagreeable. His -wife called him to the phone and it was John Heydler asking for him. Heydler is president of the National League. Said John: “BiU. how'd you like to take a trip at league expense to Florida, visit aU big league camps there and instruct the teams in rule changes and clear up Questionable points for the managers and players? Whoops! Klem departed for the sunny zone the next day. ’ * tt tt tt Ktem is a regular visitor to Florida every winter now and is a great booster for that state. He has been umpiring twentynine years and has been in the majors twentv-six seasons. The veteran has officiated in fourteen worlds series, which means extra dough and much of it. It is said he was smacked rather hard when the Florida real estate boom went on the rocks.

BY EVERETT S. DEAN, Basketball Coach, Indiana University JIM STRICKLAND, former Indiana player and now starring with the New York Athletic Club, shows excellent form for the chest shot in the accompanying picture. Note the advantageous position of the ball, a position from which he can shoot, pass or pivot. Relaxation and concentration are two important factors in shooting. shooter concentrates on the near rim, shooting with a medium arc, natural English and with a full follow-through which gets his body ‘into the shot and in a good followup position. The chest shot is quicker and harder to guard. There are conflicting ideas among coaches with regard .to the proper method of shooting long "shots. Some coaches are strong advocates of the chest shot, while others are equally strong for the underhand shot. Many coaches, however, believe in allowing the player to shjot his natural way in order to get a higher degree of accuracy. The deciding factor in basketball games is the important fundamental of shooting, therefore much time should be spent on it in practice. Jim Strickland Next: Keep the Ball in Motion.

Western State Teachers handed Manchester college a 37-to-21 trouncing here Friday night. Chapman was the only player on the Hoosier team who could hit the basket with consistent success. He made four field goals.

“nine” two seconds previously, and shouted “you’re out,” as Heeney arose. Everything was confusion after that. Baer was credited with a third round knockout. Baer deserved to win the fight. He was on a little better than even terms with Heeney in the first two rounds, but showed in the third he was going to . whip the New Zealander. Actually the most amusing incident of the boxing chow occurred outside the Garden. This came when agents of the New York Boxing Commission refused to allow Primo Camera and Paolino Uzcudun, suspended boxers, to enter the Garden. There is a boxing rule providing that a suspended boxer may not be admitted to a licensed club even though he has purchased a ticket. Both Camera and Paolino held tickets, but they were shooed away anyway.
