BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—Sing it 6oftly boys, for its the swan song of Tommy Loughran, the same Tommy Loughran who only Friday was regarded as boxing’s greatest ten-round fighter and an outstanding contender for Max Schmeling’s heavyweight title. The flashing fists of King Lexineky were beating *out the funeral ririge to Tommy’s title hopes when they carried the slugging young Chicagoan to a ten-round threeknockdown victory over the Philadelphia boxing master at Madison Square Garden Friday night. ‘‘l just couldn't see mto keep moving fast enough,” Loughran said. “Those right hands kept booming out of nowhere, and I couldn't block them as I have blocked their predecessors. Levinsky is great improved Since I beat him a year ago.” Tommy’s explanation tells the Story of the bout. Apparently the twelve years of activity and some 150 battles have begun to take their toll. The defeat was Loughran’s first in fourteen starts, and his second in a New York ring, the previous setback being a fluke knockout by Jack Sharkey in 1929. Levinsky's three knockdowns were scored with booming right crosses. The first late in the third round, Tommy took a count of eight. In the next round he fell a victim to a hard right, which sent him tumbling in the resin for a nine count. The final knockdown, in the hinth, might easily have been a knockout. Loughran instinctively got up at eight, sidestepped the rushing Levinsky and grabbed his foe from behind. The bell rang before referee Donovan could separate the fighters and Tommy—apparently out on his feet—immediately plnunked himself down on the first available stool. It was Levinsky’s stool, but Tommy didn’t know the difference. And Levinsky, a l-to-4 underdog I nthe betting, has the added satisfaction of knowing that he gave Loughran more punishment than the Philadelphian had received in any other bout of his career. With the public thinking so little of his chances that only 7,658 turned out to make a $21,358.67 gate !<one of the smallest in the Garden's history) Levinsky turned in the biggest fistic upset of the year.

Colonel Jacob Ruppert

Stove League BY EDDIE ASH TONY LAZZERI is tagged to do his baseballing elsewhere than in the Yankee stadium next season, and represents the bait offered to land anew pitcher for Joe McCarty’s club. Cleveland is willing to trade Willis Hudlin or Mel Harder for the Italian infielder, and the White Sox seem eager to give Ted Lyons for Poosh ’Em Up. Both Cleveland and Chicago want Lazzeri for employment at shortstop. A1 Thomas of the Sox also ’has been mentioned in a Lazzeri deal. tt tt tt Manager McCarthy thinks his Yankees will be a cinch for the pennant if he obtains another starting pitcher. He will be gambling on young Jack Saltzgaver of St. Paul to make in his first year in the majors if Lazzeri is sent away and for that reason wants to be sure the hurler received In exchange will be one of quality and endurance.. Sore arms handicapped Lyons and Thomas this year but the veterans are reported in good health this winter. tt tt tt Willis Hudlin was sought by the Yankees when he was with Waco In the Texas League and the New York schout missed the purchase by half an hour. Hudlin was a shining light at Waco and his club owners placed a price of $25,000 an him Ed Barrow, business manager of the Yankees, instructed a scout, then at New Orleans, to hurry to Waco and pay the sum asked for Hudlin. The scout was thirty minutes late and muffed the deal. tt tt SAM JONES, veteran hurler in the American League, is running a race with Burleigh Grimes, in the National, for the major league “circuit riding” championship. Jones was included in the Chicago-Washington swap recently and the Sox will make the sixth club in the junior league that has the name of Sad Sam on its books. Detroit and Philadelphia have yet to include Jones on their pay rolls. Grimes has been with six *National League teams, one in the American and was with one National club twice. tt U tt Jones started with Zanesville in 1913, and switched to Portsmouth in 1914. Cleveland bought him in 1915, and he was transferred to the Boston Red Sox in 1916, as part payment for Tris Speaker. In 1921 Sam landed with the YaYnkees and in 1927 was sent to the Browns.. He was obtained by Washington in the same year on waivers. tt tt tt Sam is 40 years old and has seen service in 539 big league games. His record reads 192 victories and 170 defeats. A bad arm has slowed him up frequently. TJie White Sox obtained Jones. Hadley, pitcher, and inflelder Jack Hayes in exchange for Carl Reynolds, outfielder, and Johnny Kerr, inflelder. If his salary arm is weakened by stiff breezes Sam will have no easy time in Chicago. tt tt tt FOURTEEN members of the party of baseball stars who barnstormed in Japan, playing seventeen games, arrived in San Francisco late Friday. The Yanks won all games and estimated total attendance was half a million. The largest crowds were in Tokio. Most popular pastimers with Japanese fans were A1 Simmons, Rabbit Maranville, Ralph Shinners and Long George Kelly. Mickey Cochrane said the Japanese players are flashy in the field, but lack power at the plate. tt tt tt Columbus of the American Association, Rochester of the International League and Houston of the Texas League will train in round robin stvle next spring in Houston.

BY JOE WILLIAMS NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—1 dropped in the brewery to see Colonel Jacob Ruppert Friday. It was my first visit to a brewery other than by proxy. Somehow the adventure was not altogether hilarious. I suppose I had expected to find a lot of f.orid-faced burgomasters with uplifted steins sing “Old Heidelberg.” I certainly expected to see some beer, or what passes so rbees these days. But there was none on display, and the colonel offered no attractive suggestions. The place didn’t even look like a brewery. There were large mahogany desks, white marbled walls and obsequious clerks. Any moment I feared some junior vice-president was going to pop out and remind me that by bank balance had taken another nose dive. On one of the walls hung a picture of the two Rupperts, father and son. It showed the Coionel as he looked back in the Walt-Me-Around-Again-Maggie nineties. In those days the colonel was known as the prince of beer, was amember of congress and was written up in the social gazettes as New York’s most eligible bachelor. He still is a bachelor, with a fine home up in Garrison on the Hudson. Instead of a family he maintains a collection of assorted monkeys, a circumstance which may or may not reflect his viewpoint on matrimony. Back of the colonel’s desk is a Scripps-Howard cartoon from the facile pen of Talburt depicting a tall-hatted blue nose climbing aboard a camel and preparing a hasty exit in the face of approaching storm clouds labeled WETS. The colonel is an optimist. He even believes the Yanks are a sure thing to beat the Athletics and win the American League championship next season. The colonel always believes the Yanks are going to beat somebody and win something. I imagine It is always a shocking surprise when he goes to a world series and finds that one of the teams is not the Yanks. * Right now he has a few mild worries on his mind. Babe Ruth’s SBO,OOO contract is up. So is Lou Gehrig’s $25,000 contract. Both must be renew shortly. And the baseball business wasn't go good last season, although for a while it looked as if it would be better than ever, notwithstanding the industrial blight.

u u tt 'T'HE Colonel doesn’t want to talk to you about these contracts. He’d rather talk to you about his sinus trouble. It seems to pain him less . . I go to the doctor four times a week, how often to you go?” The Colonel denies that he told newspaper men out west that he was gong to cut Ruth’s salary . . . ‘‘All I said was that no ball player ever will be worth SBO,OOO again” . . . “Well, does that mean—” . . . The Colonel threw up both hands .. . “Don’t ask me. I don’t want to talk about it.” Always eager to be of charitable service, I have never hesitated to help spend the Colonel’s money for him on baseball salaries, and I suggest that it might be a sportinggesture to renew Ruth’s contract at the old figure, in spite of his waning ability, this as a sort of public recognition of the slugger’s tremendous achievements of the past. The Colonel answers me by peering out the window and twiddling his thumbs. It may be that he is hard of hearing. I suspect Ruth is in for a slash. If he gets a $70,000 contract if probably will be high. The Colonel has a difficult problem on his hands. For years Ruth has more or less set the standard of the Yankee pay roll, and as a consequence some very ordinary ball players have been pulling down big dough. tt tt RUTH has definitely begun to fade. He is still the incomparable Bam but his future is back in the records of yesterday. Gehrig was a better ball player than Ruth last year, and from now on he ought to become increasingly better.

Four contenders for the vacated title, including tait Littman, Milwaukee favorite, were eliminated by the knockout route. The other two eight-round matches were decisions.

Indianapolis prep basketball stock took a sharp upturn Friday night as local quintets took down the honors in two out of three starts. Triumphs in six major tussles tonight will place the local teams in commanding positions in the early Hoosier cage race. One of state’s prize upsets was registered by Washington’s vastlyimproved Continentals, wdio appear more formidable each week. The west side snipers nosed out Crawfordsville on the Athenians’ home court, 18 to 16. The losers are ranked high in state circles. Free throws by Foudray and Howard in the last quarter gave the local pastimers the decision after the rivals had deadlocked, 16 to 16, at the end of the third period. The Continentals held an 11 to 9 margin at the half time, with Foudray and Bright setting the pace. Canine and Malaska were best for the losers. Cathedral was the other local winner, Joe Dienhart’s squad beating Ben Davis, 21 to 15. The Irish mentor used two complete quintets, Clemmons, Sweeney. Ford and E. O'Connor leao/ng the scoring pa-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

As Ruth fades the stature of Gehrig’s power will grow. I can’t see him ever as the successor to Ruth as a great public idol but there is no reason why he shouldn’t become one of the stand out hitters of all time. So the Colonel’s problem now is how to handle the salary of a man who is slipping and a man who is coming, and the fact that the present difference is SBO,OOO as opposed to $25,000 doesn’t help to simplify the situation. Ruth has done all right by himself in baseball since he first joined Baltimore back in 1914 at $25 a week. Since then he has collected $710,900 in salaries, of which amount $690,000 came from the Colonel. This is not inclusive of his world series swag which amount to $40,000 more, or a grand total of three quarters of a million dollars. Very grand indeed. No other ball player ever took this kind of money out of the game. But then no other ball player ever put as much money in the box office of the game. No matter what they paid him, Ruth, in his prime, was underpaid. Had he been in any other amusement business working on a percentage, Ruth would have more than tripled what he got out of baseball. tt tt tt BUT that’s an old stor. Baseball is not unlike any other business. Ruth didn’t get it when he was on top, and I don’t suppose he can expect it now. What’s more it doesn’t look as if he’s going to get a chance to manage the club, one of his fondest day dreams. Joe McCarthy made himself quite solid with everybody last year, and the chances are he will be around for a long time, if not longer.
