HALL AND THURNBLAD TO MEET FOR BILLIARD CROWN

Off the Backboard BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Ptnch-HUttng During Illne* of VEEN BOXELL.

Jeffersonville is up in arms over-the I. H. S. A. A.’s action tn suspending the school until June 5 because of the Brad Lair, Ray Weber and Sam Rauth Ineligibility chargee. I took a glance today at the Jeffersonville Evening News and Erlnned. Here's what it said: 1 “Avery unusual as well as outrageous decision, although not unexpected, was rendered by Commissioner A. L. Trester of the Indiana High School Athletic Association in determining the eligibility of three members of the high school basketball team.” I don’t know If the decision is so unusual, at that. I’m not so sure it’s outrageous, and while it may have been expected in Jeff, it was a bit of a surprise around here. a a a They Mane Trestcr for It, too. Th headV.no says "Ciar Treiter.” When the I. H. 8. A. A. bo*s make* a talk epee eh, be’* referred to as “Commissioner." but when he hands down a derision bVs the "Ciar." I’d almost bet Arthur L. grins at that sometimes. . Maybe. Jeff. the l. H* 8. A. A. is a •booster for home products and thinks it’s disloyal to go Into old Kentuck’ for a stepladder. COLUMBUS visits Franklin tonight. That brings up the thought that the Bulldogs have slumped out of the basketball picture this year. For several years Columbus teams were among the state’s best. It’s too bad. a a a Well, every time an old star falls a new one 'takes its place. Who’s sup- • planted Columbus? Why. Technical. I suppose. I can remember that when an Indianapolis sports writer mentioned a home town team, the laughs rolled up from the state and the wise remarks were not only terrible but plentiful, a a a Technical proved that Indianapolis could produce winning basketball teams when Tim Campbell calmlv maneuvered his boys Into the final game of the 1929 state high fchool tournament. I haven't heard a laugh since then . a a a Bloomington’s second defeat of 'the season at the hands of Martinsville hasn’t dampened the enthusiasm of Bloomington rooters, and down there they still are confident their Panthers will kick over the traces in the sectional and toss the Arteslans on their ears. Yeah? a a a That, perhaps, proves that the coaches who bring their teams along slowly are the smartest after all. They Inst map. out. a croup pf plays, find a good combination and slide through ■ half of the season, merely contented to let the boys get accustomed to one another. About a month before the tournaments roll around ■ they order them in training, lengthen practice sessions and start in earnest. Tournament time pops up and you see a ball club—a real one. THAT’S one ball club I’d never go wild about betting against. Martinsville. About four years ago, I was standing in an Anderson railway station, after a basketball game, .waiting few the next train. There were three or four ofacials and sports writers in the group and we started talking shop. It was a year similar to this one. Nobody seemed to care much about wanting to pick a champion-to-be. Finally, one of the boys eyed the tiih© table carefully. "You know,” he said, “Martinsville’s lost six games so far this season. I .wonder how many they’ll , lose in the tournaments?” ; • "And- he grinned. Martinsville won the championship that year. * BUT CASEY STOPPED ’EM - A shoulder injury kept Eddie : Casey, new Harvard football coach, from tackling during two years of his varsity career. However, Casey wrecked plenty of enemy plays by body blocking.

True Sportsman Label Is Pinned on John Golden, Golf Records Disclose

BY WILLIAM BBAUCHER NBA Berrice Sports Writer CLEVELAND, Jan. 28. —Jo ll n Golden stepped out and won a rich golf purse the other day at Agua Caliente, where he tied with George • Von Elm and won the playoff. .He got a check for SIO,OOO for first prize, but-to-this was added Von Elm’s $3,500 for second, .after, which the $13,500 was split among the two, $6,750 apiece. A couple of years ago, Golden -and Bobby Cruickshank decided to go fifty-fifty on any prizes they might win in the south. That year Cruickshank was red hot, while j Golden was never able to get up j among the leaders. After a month of winter golf, Cruickshank had | grabbed $12,000 In prize money, j which lie split with Golden, who hadn’t won a dime. Break Agreement v Finally Golden suggested they abrogate the agreement, since he j ■appeared to be off his game for an . indefinite period. Cruickshank, after handing Johnny his $6,000, agreed that they sever the financial arrangements. That was just before the playing of the southern open at Atlanta, a j 'tourney that carried $5,000 in prize j money for the winner. Bobby Jones won, but being an amateur, Jones could not receive the prize money, -which was awarded to the golfer •jw-ho came in second. And that golf--4ser was none other than John Golden. Cruickshank Watches ■ As Golden unerringly sank a long j putt that earned for him the $5,000 j prize money. Cruickshank, looking on, made a wry face as he rushed up to congratulate Golden, • "I guess we broke that agree-' ment just in time for you,” said ' Cruickshank, with a mock expres-j slon of woe, "What's the idea, johni)y; do you only work when you j hVvo to?” , to which Golden, like a true sportsman, replied: -What do you mean, broke our agreement? The split goes just the aame, Bobby.” - And it did. Alter receiving his daecjt for $5,000, Golden handed

Tied for Top Post Johnny Layton Is Put Out of Running by Qm of His Pupils. BY DIXON STEWARY United Ptcm Staff Correspond at CHICAGO, Jan. 28.—Johni y Layton, king of three-cushion billiard players, today Joined the rinks of former champions, while A’J ;n Hall and Arthur Thurnblad, rival Chicago billiard aces, remained in competition for the 1931 world’s title. • Layton, defeated 50 to 43 by Hall Monday night, now can finish no better than second. Hall’s victory and Thumblad’s 50 to 32 triumph over Otto Reiselt of Philadelphia assured an all-Chicago final. Layton, one of the most picturesque figures in American sports, previously had dropped a 50 to 35 match to F. S. Scoville of Buffalo and his defeat by Hall ended his long reign as world three-cushion champion. The red-haired Irishman made a gallant fight to retain his championship, but lost to his former protege in one of the best matches of the current tourney. Layton, who started his athletic career more than thirty years ago as a 'boxer, and later won fame as a jockey before taking up the cue game, had no alibi for his defeat. “The kid played the kind of billiards I attempted to teach him when I picked him up ten years ago,” said Layton. “He deserved to win. It was harder for me than the boxing bout I fought against George (Little Chocolate Drop) Dixon in 1903. I had to stay ben rounds in that fight to earn S6O and this match meant at least $20,000 to the winner. At least I have the consolation of knowing that I was beaten by one of my own pupils.” Layton and Reiselt will play tonight and the winner will meet the Hall-Thurnbald loser for second place. Thumbald and Hall meet Thursday night.
