Off The Backboard BY VERN BOXELL

MR. WILLIAM C. WIRT, head man of the Gary school system and one of the leaders in the fight against the Indiana High School Athletic Association, has come forward with another very original idea. Mr. Wirt has moved, seconded and passed that coaching of high school basketball teams during games be suspended. a a a In other words, Mr. Wirt would “give the game back to the boys." Then the boys probably would give It back to Dr. Naismith, who started it all. Dr. Naismlth, in turn, probably could sell it to Abe Klumensteln, the Junk man, thereby helping the good old doc out during the current business blight. a a a Mr. Wirt's brilliant Idea is as old as the Pat and Mike Jokes. It was tried in intercollegiate football and baseball this year, and when the processors tried to give the games to the boys, the young men very Indignantly replied they wouldn't take them—even at that cheap price. In a few instances, the scheme was tried and found to be most unsatisfactory—to everybody ■ but the reformers who insisted on gtving tl\c boys something they didn't want. a a a Under Mr. Wirts' plan, coaches would Join the "down-town coaches" in the bleachers while his proteges were in action. leaving the duties of directing the team to the captains. This additional worry and mental hazard, of course, would be a great help to the captain. Maybe they should also cut the athletic department’s pay roll, and let the basketball boys sweep out the gym after each practice and game, since they apparently haven't enough wor•rles and troubles with their hardwood pasliming and studies. £a a a Membefct of the I. H. S. A. A. board of control will meet here Jan. 8 to vote on Mr Wirt's proposal. There .has been no official stand taken by the I. H. S. A.

At the start of the fray, the Wildcats took a four-point lead, but the Keogan-coach snipers closed the gap and the rivals were deadlocked at 14-14 when the half gun sounded. ’ Visitors Rally With a 25 to 20 margin midway in j the final period, Notre Dame started I to stall, but free throws enabled the Big Ten champs to pull up to 25 to 23. Schumacker entered the game and tossed in a free throw while Riefl scored on a long attempt for the invaders. Then Schumacker tallied his two quick under the basket goals, taking the ball from De Cook. Leading Players Joe Reiff and Johnson were outstanding for Northwestern, getting eight points each.

—Stove League Chatter— — BY EDDIE ASH

BILL BURWELL of the Indians compiled 89 assists this year to lead American Association pitchers in that respect, the nearest hurler to him being Caldwell of Milwaukee with 68. Reliable Bill is infielder No. 5 when out there on the mound and this isn’t the first time he has topped the league in assists. Batsmen hit a lot of balls straight back at Burwell and added to that is his speed in dashing off of the rubber to snare infield rollers. The A. A. official fielding averages were released today. a a a Burwell was in thirty-six games and had !) putouts and 5 errors. Dutch Henry of Minneapolis, former local lefty, was another flinger alert In the field, having 67 assists and 15 putouts. Indianapolis tied with Minneapolis for fifth in club fielding with a percentage of .961. The St. Paul champions finished first, the same as in club batting. Toledo and Minneapolis committed the most errors with Indianapolis next. Toledo and Milwaukee were best in executing double plays, the Hens making 160 and the Brewers 164.

Sicking of the Millers was out in front among regular second basemen, fielding .970. Connolly of Milwaukee fielded .968, Sigafoos of the Indians .966, Saltzgaver of the Saints .964 and Herman of Louisville .963. Saltzgaver played 166 games, far more than any other keystone guardian. So many third sackers were used in the league it is difficult to pick a leader out of the statistics. In eighty-three games Yoter of Columbus and Indianapolis fielded .955. Only four men saw service in more than 100 games at third Koehler, Toledo and Milwaukee, 112 games, fielded .944; Ganzel.

Tavener led in putouts, 378, and in assists, 548. Tavener also took part in the most double plays by shortstops, 102, and Smith was second with 100.

Koenecke and R. Fitzgerald of the Indians were tied for fifth among regulars with .976. Grigsby of Kansas City led in putouts with 476 and Pick of Kanss City was high in assists with 20. Johnny Cooney, purchased by Indianapolis from Toledo, fielded .986 as a pitcher, .995 as a first sacker and .985 as an outfielder. The statistics prove he is able to hold up his end wherever assigned.

St. Louis has not asked for waivers on Wilson and Brooklyn is standing by awaiting developments. a a a There is a deal hanging fire between Brooklyn and the Cincy Reds, but Manager Carey of the Fiatbush club is inclined to hesitate. Dan Howley, Cincy pilot, offered Joe Stripy, third sacker, who can played first; Larry Benton, right-handed pitcher, and Taylor Douthit, right-handed hitting outfielder. Stripp also hits righthanded. In exchange for these pastimers, Howley wants Dazzy Vance, veteran righthanded hurler, and outfielders Johnny Frederick and Ike Boone, both left-handed batters.

Chicago Seeks Three Fistic Title Battles

“Sally’’ Suddith

power made him one of the most popular fighters the ring has ever known, revealed that the old punch is not at its best. “I can take them. This trip has proved that to me. None of those boys could hurt me—but I couldn’t flatten them the way I wanted to. I think it’s a question of a little more training.” Dempsey said his timing w r as not perfect. He believes the power to deliver a devastating punch still remains, but that he is not getting his punches timed properly. Dempsey, w’ho never has been particularly fond of Sharkey, declared the ex-gob to be the set-up of the contemporary crop of heavies. "If I had ipy choice he’s the fellow I’d like to meet,” Jack said. “Sharkey never could take a punch and now he’s soft. He even had Camera down and couldn’t keep him there.” Concerning Schmeling, Dempsey had little to say. "He is a good fighter,” he admitted, "and is improving all the time.” '

TALKING IT OVER BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Mr. Francis Xavier McQuade is in court trying to get his job back as treasurer of the New York Giants. The testimony would seem to answer the burning question: "What has become of the old fighting Giants?” The answer plainly is that they have all moved up stairs to the business office. Mr McQuade is pictured to the court as One Punch McQuade, meeting all comers at all weights. On one occasion it is charged he took a full wind up and dropped Mr. Leo Bondy. his successor, to the office mat. On another occasion it is charged that he threatened to put a pill in the soup of Mr. Charles Stoneham, the president, this being the first public intimation that Mr. Stoneham drinks soup, r Shifting to Cuba, the debate brings Mr. John J. McGraw into the picture on the charge that he threatened to slip a punch over or cop a steal, as the boys say, on Mr. Stoneham. • tv. l4 S 1 , 1 sounds very exciting. A day in the Giants office in those times must have resembled a busy afternoon in Stillman s gymnasium. Why not have the boys an act before each game at the Polo grounds next year? a. a a INCIDENTALLY, the suit has brought to light the mysterious interchange of It sum totaling $81,500 in connection with the DempseyFirpo fight back in 1923. The broad implications seem to suggest that some commercial-minded politicians had something to do with it. At any rate, the $81,500 was in the till on the night of the fight, some hours later it was gone, and a day or so later it was back. From the testimony it would appear that Mr. McQuade had some very definite knowledge of the Houdini-like transactions. It develops, according to the testimony. that one of his grievances is that he was unable to collect a commission of $8,150 due him for personal services employed in “getting back $81,500 which disappeared from the Dempsey-Firpo fight gate.” The Dempsey-Firpo fight was probably the greatest heavyweight fight in history. But whether it was worth the payment of such an extravagant fee to anv person or persons not actively identified with the promotion of the bout is something else. The fight was the brain child of the late Tex Rickard who always admitted, off the record, that it was harder to line up the politicians, than the fighters. The life story of Rickard must have

DEC. °? 1931

Nate Lewis in East to Sign Lightweight, Welter and Heavy Champ. By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 22.—Nat Lewis. Chicago stadium matchmaker, was en route to N.w York today with the announced intention of securing three world's championship fights for Chicago fans during the first three months of 1932. If Lewis carries out his plans he will be able to bring the customers into the West Madison street .stadium for the following schedule of fistic attractions: JANUARY—Lou Brnuillard, wrllrrweight c'jmpinn, ?s. Jimmy MrLarnin, or Jackie Fields. FEBRUARY—Tony Canzoneri vs. Bat Batialino for the lightweight title MARCH—Max Srhmeling vs. Mickey Walker for the heavyweight championship. Joe Jacobs, Schmeling’s manager, agreed Sunday by telephone to the title match with Walker, with the proviso that the Illinois legislature pass the proposed amendment to the Illinois law making the distance fifteen rounds. Lewis carried contracts for Jacobs’ signature. Lewis also plannee to ask Canzoneri and Battaiino to sign and return the stadium contracts which they have had for more than a month. Brouillard, new welterweight title holder, has been interested in a stadium offer for some time and has indicated he is ready to come to terms. By United Press , NEW \ ORK, Dec. 22.—Madison Square Gr den and its boxing director, James J. Johnston, today were listed as sponsors of the "Jack Sharkey for champion" movement and it appeared certain that the Garden would have no part in a heavyweight championship bout between Champion Max Schmeling and Mickey Walker. Johnston said that Schmeling must fight for the Garden in New York and that the champion would not be allowed to "hand pick" an opponent. “The only man he can fight here is Jack Sharkey,” he said. “We have Schmeling’s contract to fight for the Garden and we will go to court to enforce it.” 10 Light-Heavy Pugs on Card By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 22.—Ten light heavyweight fighters will go into action at the Chicago stadium Dec. 30 in the second stage of the elimination series to determine the champion. Six of the 175-pounders already have w’on first-round matches. They are: Baxter Calmes, Larry Johnson, Bob Olin, Billy Jones, Roscoe Manning and Clyde Chastain. The four who are making their debuts in the series are: Willis Bush, Waterbury, Conn.; Charley Belanger, Winnipeg; Joe Zelinsky, Boston, and George Nichols, Buffalo.

been written a dozen times, but many fascinating chapters were omitted, and solely because of the promoter’s reluctance to talk. In public interest. Rickard's dealings with politicians far transcended his days in Goldfield, the Jeffries-Johnson enterprise and the battles of the centurywhich followed. I am pretty sure that a very beautiful story, for instance, could have been written around the Carpenter-Dempsev fight In Jersey if Rickard had been disposed to talk, and very little of it would have been centered in the Frenchman's right hand punch. B nan BY far the most interesting item that has been disclosed to date in the McQuade suit is that which touches on the mysterious financial transaction. But for some reason the litigants seemed to have agreed that no personalities are to be introduced. At one point during the trial the defense attorney turned so the opposition and said. ' We have agreed have we not, to mention no names in the matter of the $81,500?" "Whynot?" VOU flnd yourself ‘-’King, Are Messrs. McQuade. McGraw and Stoneham covering up somebody, or is this attitude merely typical of their fine sporting nature? It is all quite puzzling and most puzzling of all is the mechanism obseurules. 8 Kr ” lt •* MAX SELECTS BOSTON By Times Special BOSTON, Dec. 22.—Eddie Mack, Argonne A.
