HOOSIER CINDER STARS BATTLE FOR HONORS IN N. C. A. A.

Southern California Is Certain Team Winner Indiana, Butler and Notre Dame Gains Several Places in Prelims; Joe Sivak, Blue Miler, and Hatfield, I. U. Hurdler, Top Field. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, June 6.—Southern California’s track and field team, carrying too much speed and power for the pick of athletes from all sections of the country, was on the threshold of another championship in the National Collegiate Athletic Association meet at Stagg field today. As far as the team championshpi was concerned, it was not a question of who w’ould win but how many points Southern California’s invincible athletes w’ould pile up in defending the N. C. A. A. title. Estimates ranged all the way from 60 to 92 points. The N. C. A. A. record of 72 points, set by Stanford in 1928, seemed doomed unless the Trojans generally had a disastrous day.

In the preliminaries Friday Southern California qualified twelve men, every one of whom seemed certain of winning points in the finals today. Trials were held m eleven of the fifteen events, and the Trojans placed at least one man in every event except the half-mile and hammer throw. I. U.

Primo Is Going to Turn Wrestler if Topnotch Pugs Won’t Fight Him

BY LIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent T ONG BEACH, N. Y., June 6. Primo Camera, giant Italian heavyweight, is tired of fighting “setups” and wants to try his chances against Jack Sharkey and other topnotch title contenders. If Primo can defeat the first-class fighters he wants to have the world’s heavyweight boxing championship. If not, he will abandon boxing and return to his first love —wrestling. “You think I'm joking,” Leon See, his manager, told the United Press, “but, really, Primo is a far oetter

Cincy Reds Find Punch, Hammer Out 3 Wins in Row Over Phillies

BY LEO H. PETERSON United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 6.—Manager Dan Howley’s Cincinnati Reds, boasting a strong pitching staff, but woefully weak at the plate, have taken anew lease on life. Keyed up by three consecutive victories over the Philadelphia Phillies, one of the hardest hitting clubs in the majors, the Reds were still at home today for a four-game series with the Boston Braves, hoping to prolong their winning streak and continue their climb from the National League cellar. Until the spurt against the Phillies, Cincinnati had won only nine of forty-one contests. The pitching had been good enough to carry the club to a first division berth but power at the plate was lacking. Now with Hendrick, Roush, Stripp, Roettger and Cuccinello hitting timely and often, the Reds see better days ahead. They have few fears as far as pitching is concerned for Lucas, Johnson, Kolp, Rixey and others have demonstrated that they can shoulder their end of the burden. The Reds pounded out thirteen hits off four Philadelphia hurlers Friday to ,win, 9 to 2, while Johnson scattered the seven blows he allowed. Roettger led Cincinnati’s attack with four hits in five times at bat. St. Louis increased its leadership over New York by trimming the second place Giants. 8 to 7. in ten innings. Collins’ single, scoring Watkins, drove in the winnng tally for the Cardinals. .Lefty p’Doul's timely hitting enabled the Brooklyn Robins to defeat the Cubs, 3 to 1. and even the four-game series. Chicago got only six hits off Phelps and Quinn ■while the Robins bunched their nine blows off Root for one run in the first and two in the third. \ Boston shut out Pittsburgh, 4 to 0, in the other National League contest. The Pirates got six hits off old Tom Zachary, one more than the Braves could get off Meine and Grant. The Braves bunched their hits in the seventh and eighth innings, however, while Zachary was invincible in the pinches.

Cochrane, Hendrick Pace Major Hitters

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. June 6.—Mickey Cochrane, one of the greatest catchers of all time and “sparkplug” of the world-champion Philadelphia Athletics, is leading the American League in hitting, according to the official averages released today and including games of Thursday, June 4. Cochrane, whose work behind the plate alone would earn him a berth on any team, is batting an even .400, three points better than his nearest rival, Babe Ruth oi the New York Yankees. Cronin, Washington, is pushing Cochrane for headline honors, the little shortstop 4 leading the league in runs-batted-in with 49; in triples, with 7; and is tied with Averill of Cleveland, in run-scoring with 36. Webb. Boston, leads in doubles, with 23, while Foxx, Philadelphia, is the home run pace setter with 10. Johnson, Detroit, and Chapmsfo, New York, are tied for base stealing honors with 13 thefts each.

wrestler than he is a fighter. He’s too big for the others, and if they don’t let us fight Sharkey, we’ll desert boxing. We want to be free to run our own affairs. We’re tired of law suits and injunctions, and if Jimmy Johnston loses his appeal against the injunction barring the Sharkey-Carnera bout, we’re all through with boxing.” See explained his questionable praise of Primo’s wrestling ability by saying that Camera had wrestled over 10,000 bouts as a carnival wrestler in Europe before he turned to boxing two years ago.

Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, June s.—“ The man who doesn’t go to prize fights any more” picked up his paper and “Riots Mar Ring Battles in Madison Square Garden.” And was his jowls pink! I mean to say he Just could not get it. What was this, a gag? Here, for years, he had been going to fights, and the nearest approach to a riot he ever saw was when the depressed customers all started to walk out at once and the main artery to the street got all clogged up. To be sure this was an amateur fight, and that might make a difference. Generally speaking, the amateurs who have nothing to fight for fight like fury. Whereas the professionals who have plenty to fight for. do not fight at all. Maybe this is a point in the professionals’ favor. At least nobody can say that they ever excite the customers sufficiently to provoke unseemly social gestures and vulgar demonstrations. True, they put you to sleep quite often, but in ft big town where so many people suffer from insomnia. this may come under the head of a kindly deed. And there were knives thrown when the decision went to the American amateur over the Italian amateur. “You say the knives did not hit any member of the boxing commission?” asked the “man who doesn’t go to prize fights any more-” “Well, that was too bad.” Too bad indeed. I hasten to add I refer to the situation, not to the commissioners. It Is inevitable that a vast amount of hooey will be written about the incident and its effect upon International sportsmanship. What is even more painful is that a great number of persons will persist in digesting what is written, here and abroad. * The simple fact is that an Americanized Italian was given a decision over a visiting Italian in an obscure boxing match and the decision seemed to be fair enough. The visiting Italian had never been beaten in the ring before, and he proved to be a very poor loser. It may be that in order to become a good loser It is necessary to lose once in a while. If this is so then due allowances must be made for the visiting Italian. An uninterrupted winning streak ties up logically with psychology. The man who walks the streets in a cloak of invincibility is bound to be under a greater nervous strain than the ordinary gent Who knows how it feels to caress the pavement with his beak. Hasn’t it been written that philosphy is the sweet milk of adversity? You may be right. Who cares? But I am trying to say that it seems completely stupid that international conduct should be involved in any way with a prize fight, whether it be between Schmeline and Stribling. or Glotz and Glotz. Must it follow of necessity that we are all mugs just because some member of our sports team deports himself like a fried egg? Let’s be optimistic and agree that the answer is no. My personal feeling is that internationalism in sport, taking it fore and aft. is a fraud and a pose. Its chief importance, as I look at it, is that it is a spurious device to be manipulated by promoters with a view to stimulating activity at the ticket kiosks. In the field of sport as in any other field fellowship should be the basis of operation. Either you can beat me. or I can beat you. Either you are a good loser or I am a good loser. Nothing else should matter. And I don’t believe it would if something could be done to keep the word "internationalism” out of the hands of the ballyhoo department. Certainly only a very small percentage of the people give an underdone hoot whether an American team of amateur boxers wins from or loses to an Italian team. That the result should affect in any way the relations between the two countries is wholly ridiculous. Yet from all the yip-yipping that follows or precedes one of these meets vou might be led to believe that the fate of the world trembles in the balance. At any rate it was very amusing to see the young men of Mussolini drop a decision and then go into purple-faced hysteria. It was equally amusing to see the more mature representatives of Mussolini rush to the ringside seats to confer with officiallooking countrymen, assumed!? pillars of power in the community. And there was nothing more amusing than the spectacle of the American A. A. U. representatives trying to get their own judges to reverse themselves in order to save the show. In short it was all a great laugh—and vou can have mv whole share of it. THEVENOW ON BENCH When the batting average of Tommy Thevenow, Pirate shortstop, slumped to the woefully insignificant mark of .115 last week, he was removed from the Pittsburgh lineup, and Ben SanktfK was sent in to fill the position. 1

scheduled ten-round bout against Pat Redmond of Ireland at Ebbets field, Brooklyn, June 10. He worked Friday under the critical observation of New York fight writers.

Sam Jones yielded the same number but paved the way for his defeated by hitting Walker, first man up in the twelfth. Walker scored the winning tally on Johnson’s single. Boston broke Cleveland’s ten-game winning streak by setting back the Indians. 4 to 3. Ed Morris held the Indians in check until the eighth when Wiley Moore stepped in to save the day for the Red Sox. Babe Ruth’s tenth home run of the season with a mate on base enabled the New York Yankees to defeat St. Louis, 8 to 7. The Yankees piled up an early lead off Collins and Stiles, but the Browns came back to knock Pennock out of the box and take the lead in the eighth.

ing each day, first at Highland, then at Meridian Hills and then at Broadmoor. Cliff Wagoner, secretary of the district, has been busy the past few days allotting select starting times to players. The tournament is open to members of the association only. To become a member it costs $2 and taht takes care of greens fees, prize fund, etc. You can arrange an advance starting time by calling Cliff at Riley 9505. The rest is easy. It is a i big bargain, particularly for municipal course players, to play those courses for three days and get a cut in the big prize list-all for $2. The district covers an within a sixty-mile radius of Indianapolis. tt tt tt Bill heinlein will hold the spotlight Monday. George Lance, the defending champion, will be in Cincinnati attempting to qualify in the national open. So will Sammy Simpson and Bill Diddel, but they have been cared for. The trio will return here Monday night, play their Monday round of Highland on Tuesday morning, play Meridian Hills in the afternoon and be caught up with the field. Cliff Wagoner will score them at highland. That’s their reward for trying to make the national open. tt tt a Heinlein, who has been a contender for the crown the past two years, was twice winner of the Indianapolis Times high school tournament while at Cathedral.

Joe Stout, Bill Van Landingham. Frank Binford, Dave Mitchell. Bill Reed Sr., and just a flock more amateurs who can ket hot on any links and come in well under par. It is highly probable when Lance. Diddel, Simpson and Wagoner play Tuesday morning at Highland they will have a very definite job cut out for them, because some low scores are anticipated Monday at Highland and it will be up to this Quartet to match them. tt tt tt The district tournament serves more or less to settle the city championship, too. It has been agreed that even if an out of town player win the district title, the Indianapolis player who finishes highest in the list will be regarded as the city champion.

HARVEY HENDRICK, once of Brooklyn, but now of the Cincinnati Reds, is setting the pace for National League hitters with a percentage of .338, but his work is overshadowed by Klein, Philadelphia slugger. Klein has scored the most runs, fortyfour, hit the most home runs, thirteen, and batted in the most runs, forty. Buzz Arlett, Klein’s gigantic running mate, has obtained the most hits, sixty-one. while Hornsby, Chicago, leads in doubles with eighteen. Worthington, Boston, has rapped the most triples seven, while Comorosky, Pittsburgh, leads in stolen bases with seven theffcs. Ed Brandt, Boston, is the pitching standout, having won eight games, and lost but one for an average of .890. All his victories were complete games. Cleveland tops the American League in club batting with an average of .309, while Chicago is the National League leader with a percentage of .301. The champion Athletics top their league in club fielding with the imposing average of .983. Chicago leads the National in this department vdth .972.

His right to the heart is hard enough to stop any one.” “I know most every one thinks I’m Just a freak,” Primo admitted. “But I think I can beat any of the other heavyweights. If not I want to find it out now. I don’t want to meet tankers or second raters. If I can’t get Sharkey after this fight, I’ll go bE.ck to w’restling—just as I will, if I find I lack the ability to cope with the real champions in boxing.”

Indians Triumph in Wild Series Opener YJung Paul Dean of Birds Goes Haymire in Field: Koenecke Shines With Distance Homer and Hildebrand Checks Columbus Attack. . Handing the third-place Columbus Red Birds a 12-to-6 thumping m the series opener under the arc lights Friday night, the Indians returned to the daylight league today and were to take on the Buckeve pastimers In the series second tilt at 3 p. m. No more night games will

- v muie iugub games wui be played until next Thursday and Friday. The Tribesmen lost four straight night struggles, one to Louisville and three to Toledo, before the Birds hit town and a crowd of about 4,000 turned out to view the action. Friday was free night for women and children and they stormed the turnstiles. Paid attendance was 1,736. The visitors evidently were afflicted with spots before the eyes when handling the sphere in the field and seven errors were chalked against them, chiefly on wild throws. Paul Dean, 17-year-old brother of the weL-known Dizzy, essayed to do the pitching for the Birds and couldn t locate first base when fielding bunts. He was guilty of four wild shots and the Indians circled the sacks for several gift runs. However, young Dean bears all the earmarks of becoming an ace hurler and doubtless will make the big league grade in time. He is built along the lines

IImM! •.

Koenecke

. , .. . ~ r tue lines of brother Dizzy, tall and rangy with plenty of power. He was taken out in the sixth Friday owing to lack of control and weakness in fielding his position. Baker relieved and was walloped for a home run by Len Koenecke with two runners on ahead.

Koenecke’s blow carried over the high right field fence near the scoreboard and landed out in the railroad yards. The Tribe left fielder also poled a line single in the first stanza and has brought his batting average up to .366. Marty Griffin, Tribe starting pitcher, was a puzzle for three innings, but in the fourth the Birds broke loose with a base hit barrage that soon had the righthander on his way. King lined a home run to right center over the inside fence, Purdy was struck by a pitched ball, Gudat and Riggs singled and Moore tripled after Dalker flied to H. Fitzgerald. Oral Hildebrand .took up the firing line toil and finished out the fracas in fine style. He uncorked a wild pitch after relieving Griffin with Moore on third, but gradually tightened and received credit for the victory. * The fourth inning rally by the Birds tied the count at 5 and 5, but the Corridenites stepped out in the fifth and scored six markers on a series of hits, walks and wild heaves. Total hits for the evening were twelve for Indianapolis and ten for Columbus. Kid Purdv. Columbus left fielder, added a smack of vaudeville to the evening’s entertainment at the Tribe park Friday night after being ordered off the field by Umpire Snvder. Pid was called out on strikes in the fifth and criticised Snyder s ability to see under the lights. Purdy was banshed. but refused to hear the order and went to his position. Action was halted until Pid performed a dance out in the pasture as he left the park. Hippitv-hop with gestures was the way Pid made his fadeout. He was socked by a pitched ball in the fourth and probably wanted to get out of there anyway. Snvder and Pfcffer officiated the series opener. Umpire Johnston is here, but is crippled up and watched the game from the stand. Joe Sprinz, former Indian catcher, also was a spectator. Cleveland released him to Columbus, but there seems to be a difference of opinion over salary. It 13 said the Birds will ask waivers on Joe. De Sautels and Hinkle form the Buckeye catching staff.
