Talking - It Over Bl’ JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.—Being a column of talkie shorts—more or less—in which some of the loud detonations of sports have their say with and without sound effects: a a a JACK DEMPSEY: "All I know about Schmeling is what I read m the newspapers and the fellows tell me. I never saw him with the war paint on. But the Information t get on the German is not flattering and for that reason I don’t think he figures to win over a lveady. experienced, hard-hitting fighter like Stribling.” “Tbev ut Srhmelinc’s weivlnr style ’'lU make bln a difficult tercet, but I rton’t think 50.... I always used a sreasInr style and Carpentier. Flrno, Brennan and Tnnney manaced to bit me at Intervals—at very freauent Intervals In faet.’* a a a JOE TINKER—If baseball has skidded as far back a& some of you writers insist, why it is that the players’ salaries keep on booming? Babe Ruth is getting SBO,OOO a year. If anybody had suggested ten years ago a ball player would ever get that, kind of money he would have been taken by the arm and led gently but firmly to the nearest padded cell. a a a "Ed Walsh probably was the -rea-teat of all spttbal! pitchers. One year he worked in more than sixty caroes for the White Sox. This is three times as many games as your modern pitcher works. That season Walsh su paid $3,000. The following season he demanded an Increase of SSOO. and it was refused him. . . . a a a "If Wafch were around todav he would he a s>o,ooo pitcher on anybody* bill club. Os course this doesn’t prove that the players today are any better than the old timers, but It certainly shows that the same is in a healthy condition ” a a a EARL SANDEi “I suppose my greatest thrill In racing came when I rode Flying Ebony home to victory in the 1925 Derby. This was the race in which I had no mount twenty-four hours before the field was to start "Quantrain was the favorite and his owner. Fred Johnson, wanted me to ride, though be bad already engaged another boy. "I liked Quantrain and wanted to ride him. but It didn’t seem fair to take the mount away from the other boy. so I refused and resigned myself to watching Ibe race from the grand stand a a a But a few hours later Bill Duke who trains for Gifford Cochran told me I could ride Plying Ebony if I wanted the mount. He’s got more than an outside chance, said BUI. ’and if you get the breaks at the post you might win with him.' Well I must have got the breaks beoause I won •and the race still stands out in my memory as mv most thrilling adventure on the track. ■ Bobby JONES: T have had a number of dark moments in tournament golf, but the blackest one I ever knew came the day I went against Jess Sweetser in the amateur championship at Brookline. That day I was utterly helpless. No matter how well I played, Sweetser played better. The more pressure I put on, the farther back I drifted.” “At the end of the first nine I was six down and so bewildered I wasn’t sure I was on a golf course or a merry-Go-round. At the end of the eighteenth. Sweetser was five up. He had. shot the round In 69, anew course record. 1 had shot erratically going out, but coming back I scored a 34, yet I was nowhere . . . a a a "In the afternoon I managed to break par by two strokes but so consistently 1 line was Sweetser's play that I was able to pic-; up only one hole on him—the seventeenth where lie three putted. I don’t even like to be reminded of that day’s play, although it must have been a beautiful exhibition for xhe gallery to watch.''

THE fellow from Shortridge looked over this wAy. ‘‘You lucky stiff,” he said, “if Bulleit had been in that game you’d still be running.” Then the gentleman from Technical ambled in. “Smart boy,” he greeted us, “Tim Campbell’s just too smart for ’em.” I nibble at fingernail. ‘‘Eenle, meenie, minie. moe,” I mutter. a a a A pile of letters. We open the first one. Its from “Eleanor” of Tech and she identifies herself and says she's sorry. O. K- Eleanor. Then she says; Now, aren’t you glad you picked up? T knew the boys couldn't disappoint you. Yes, I know they’ll say It was because Bulleit was out, but they must have an excuse.” Well. well. And so it was all for me, huh? My, my. Thanks, boys! a a a Then "Eddie” of Shortridge chimes In with his sav. “We have no alibis,” he says, "but then, you known, there’s always the sectional." And Eddie says the boys—Tech and Shortridge—acted as if they were scared to death of each other. Maybe they were, Ed. “One point is one point.” he says, “but that’s all it is.” Sure, Ed, sure. Remember the night Martinsville played Muncie for the state title. Martinsville had a one-point lead, Muncie was far out on the floor, unable to break through the Artesian defense. Fifteen seconds remained. Secrist had the ball. He fired. It. went through. One point. Ed. I rememner because it was the year I had picked Martinsville. a a a AND here’s the time for Beech Grove to break into print. "Pop-Eye” takes a slam at the newspaper boys for forgetting that Beech Grove is in the Indianapolis sectional and he flatly remarks that Anderson won’t be worried by Tech or Shortridge. It’ll be Beech Grove, he tells me. Well, that’s something to think about, too, although I do know a gentleman who -keeps pulling against ’em. “If they’d win, they’d keep me up all night with their raving,” he says. * He lives in Beech I don’t know whether to accuse him of disloyalty or call him smart. a a a Thotc who have been making weekly journeys to Butler’s fieidhouse in the hopes of seeing some team capable of pushing Tony Hinkle's Bulldogs finally v ere rewarded last week-end.

Dick Miller of The Times staff, covered the city series thoroughly and a few of the things he told me today match perfectly with some opinions I have held for some weeks. One is that Shortridge will not be much better at tournament timethan it is right now. Another is that Technical will be one of the most powerful teams in this section of the state at’ tournament time. a a a Dick thinks that Bcrns of Shortridge was the most impressive looking ■‘'player in the tourrer with Edwards of Tech a close second. He had a boost for Bunnell of Tech and one for Ferguson of Bread Ripple. a a a "Edwards." Miller said, "showed on Sit* urdav night flashes of exceptional skill and power In a foul line pivot play.

Waived-out of the majors. Walker became a free agent and signed with the Indians for a juicy contract and bonus. Owner Perry was forced to deal out real money in this deal, but believes the veteran lefthanded hitter and expert sun fielder is worth the price. Valuable Under Hendricks Jack Hendricks, former Cincv pilot and now scout for the Indians as well as assistant to the president, recommended Walker and added that Curt always was one of the Reds’ most valuable pastimers and owner of a sound throwing arm. Hendricks completed the deal in Cincinnati this morning. Curt batted .307 last year In 134 games, collecting 145 hits, including 26 double/, 11 triples and 8 home runs. He hit just one point less than Long George Kelly in the National and fans will recall that Kelly bombarded American Association pitching to the tune of .361 during thircy-four games in the Hickey loop in 1930. Ten-Year Mark of .304 \Valker bats left and throws right, stands 5 feet 10 inches and scales 170. He is 34 and was with Cincinnati six years and previous to that pastimed with the Giants and Phillies. According to Secretary Bill Clauer’s figures, Walker had a ten-year major batting mark of .304 His 1929 average was .313. Manager Corriden says Curt is of the hustling type and on two occasions led the National League in triples. He is a product of Texas, hailing from the little town of Beeville in the Lone Star state. Six Outfielders The Signing of Walker gives Corriden six fly chasers to take south on March 1, the others being Ollie Tucker, Howard Fitzgerald, Clyde Barnhart, Charlie Dorman and Len Koenecke. Only four will be carried after the championship season gets under way. v Deals for other players are in the making, according to Secretary Clauer. Manager Corriden desires two more mainstay pitchers, an infielder of quality and would not be adverse to landing another righthanded hitting outfielder. At any rate, the Indians gradually are putting together a formidable new machine. ~ ST. PATS TRIUMPH St. Patricks nosed out the powerful St. Philip’s netmen Sunday, 30 to 28. The game went into an overtime.

Butler Opens Last Half of Schedule, Record Unscathed

BY DICK MILLER Final semester exams crowd basketball out of the limelight at most Hoosier colleges this week and only nine-games are on the card, six of them to be played Friday and Saturday nights.

Tonight another undefeated tem Frank Barnes’ Central Normay team at Danville, will face a strong foe, one able to stir up things at any time, Gris Wagner’s Franklin sqpafi. It looks like the twelfth straight for Danville. Indiana State Tdachers outfit, going rather poorly, will entertain Eastern State Normal Wednesday night. Ball Teachers of Muncie and Franklin should put, on a great scrap Thursday night at Franklin, judging by their previous season records. While Butler is at Evansville Friday night, where they should win easily, ManchesterNwill go to,Hanover, and the result should lavor the Chesters.

Cruising in Sportland WITH EDDIE ASH

MANAGER M’KECHNTE of the Boston Braves plans to use Wes Schulermich .’n left this year and shift Walter Berger to center, leaving Lance Richbourg and Red Worthington to fight it out for the right garden. Schulermich starred for Los Angeles last season and Worthington hit .375 for Rochester. Berger and Richbourg .were .1930, Boston regulars, the former a home run slugger. Schulermich swatted the pill for .380 in the Coast league and collected fifty-one doubles, seven triples and twenty-eight homers. He was in 189 games. Schulermich stands 5 feet 11 inches, scales 210, and is described as fast for his size and possessor of a strong wing. He was born at Hillsboro, Ore., and attended high school at Portland. Later at Oregon State college he starred in baseball and football and was named all-Coast full back.- After his college career Schulermich joined the Butte league team and hit .391. The fat batting average brought an offer and Los Angeles obtained him. a a a- a a- a--Schulermich was a teammate of Walter Berger with the Angels, and is only one year behind Wallie in graduating to the majors. Part of the money Boston obtained in the sale of Rogers Hornsby to the Chicago Cubs was used to buy Berger and the Braves obtained Schulermich also in a three-way transaction, the Cubs getting pitcher Bob Smith from Boston. Los Angeles is the Oubs’ west coast farm. -Berger amassed thirty-eight circuit blows last year and though National League pitchers finally found a weakness in his style, he finished hitting .310 and maintained his fan popularity by hitting long ones occasionally. - - -

ana According to gossip coming from Boston Red Sox headquarters, Rabbit Warstler, former Indianapolis shortstop, will start at that position for Shano Collins’ club in the spring and will be told to defend it against the field. The Rabbit hit only .185 for Boston last year, but the club officials have faith in him and believd he’ll improve. They are satisfied with Warstler’s defensive skill. . a a a The Rabbit was in a-slump when the deal was made with Boston and he couldn’t get going up there. He was the first player in history to report to the majors by airplane and Jim Moore of the Athletics was the second to drop out of the clouds to don a big league uniform. a a a JOE SEWELL was not long out of a big league job and the former Cleveland pastimer will try to make good with the New York Yankees

Miami recently sneaked out a late game win over De Pauw, but it is hardly expected to upset the Boilermakers. Manchester will stop off in Indianapolis Saturday night to tackle Harry, Good’s Indiana Central five. It undoubtedly will prove a great game. Phil Brown’s Rose Poly five will be host to an old rival, the University of Louisville, at Terre Haute. Only two games that involved Hoosier teams were played Saturday night. One of them was a great surprise with its result: Pittsburgh, 28; Notre Dame, 20, overtime. ‘Pitt held a 10-9 advantage at the half. Early in the second half the Irish led by Newbold, launched a drive and with four minutes to play were in front, 20-17. A field goal and a foul tied the game up as the gun fired and in the overtime Pitt did all the scoring. Chapman, with fifteen points, led Manchester -to a 33-to-25 win over Hanover Saturday night at Manchester, the Spartans leading all the way.
