Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—ln the interest of international amity, good will, sportsmanship and personal curiosity. I called upon Mr. Max Schmellng, the heavyweight champion, in his suite at the Commodore a few hours after his arrival. Bchnifiinir. Icokinsr somewhat heavmore moonlsh of face, ts there is * Dhraze. was disDlavlna with oardoname orlde to the assembled euests nlctu-zs ®*,,P** ojn.t* hunting lodge located some nuiea outside of Berlin. ' , th * fmnt there la a swimming two!, too. indicated the German who is suobe a dead rinser for Demnsev and is nrovided vou concede that Haroo Mar:; resembles George Bernard Shaw. About four veara ago. Mr. Schmellng came to thi*-country with an extra shirt, a gaping bewilderment and a native mana?fr.who didn't know what It was nil about. In the fistic horizon Mr. Schmellng stood out about as nromlnentlv as a aouattera shack In the metropolitan skvJlne. To the bovs in the trade he was on * 01 "them foreign bums.” Which remlnda me that there is nothin* in sports comparable to the magic cf the fight business. In no other field does the Cinderella formula function with such spectacular success. For those who have that certain thing, olus luck and shrewd manipulation, the step from hot cak?s to caviar is simple and soeedv. A pair of strong biceps made Sullivan nn enduring legend and an associate of rovaltv. Corbett stepped out of a barker's cage to become a man of means and a drawing room fgvorlte. Fitzsimmons went from the norSeshoer's anvil to indelible glorv. Jeffries was a botlermakcr. Johnson a stevedore. Willard a rancher. Dempsey a hobo and Tunnev a male stenographer. u a a TO be sure, these incidents are in keeping with the tradition that all men are created equal and that in America even a Democrat is entitled to a fair count. What I puzzle over is that any reasonably healthy guy with a pair of hard fists can in the present scheme of things go out and in a very short time build himself into an important and social and financial figure. Os course, there is another side to the Picture. Quite a few of the voung men come m as bums and go out the jane ■wav. Those who survive have that extra something, poise, punch, personality. That tnev manage to make more monev than Edison ever did. is at once shocking and comical, but not altogether criminal. what about the shop girl who goes to Hollywood and becomes a $30,000 a week heart throb? Or the Wall Street gentlemen who unload a mess of foreign bonds on the public and rake in a 54.0u0.000.000 crag? Or the university that conduits amateur sport with such business-like efficiency as to show an annual profit of *1.000.000? I mean when vou attempt to strike a true balance of values vou wind up in a welter of perplexities. This much the nrizc fighter can offer in rebuttal: His is a unlaue and not wholly pleasant business. It, takes a certain amount of daring or dullness: to make the ring a career. And there is one point vou must concede: It Is his law that stops the punches. Mr. Schmellng is experiencing the usual metamorphosis of the usual prize tghter. He is striving earnestly to measure up to the artificial grandeur and importance of his new estate in life. There is about him a suavitv and a diffidence that oome through cosmopolitan associations. He has a studied interest in the finer things.

Adgie No Match for Redman in Main Event at Armory

The battle-scarred Matt Adgie, Philadelphia, had no chance with Jack Redman, South Bend Negro, state heavyweight champion, in the main event at the Armory Tuesday night, and the Quakertown veteran was on the floor in the tenth when Referee Cooley stopped the one-sided bout, and the verdict was awarded to Redman. The winner had a nine-pound pull in weight and Adgie seldom put a glove on him. The worn eastern boxer was an easy target throughout the milling and appeared to have impaired vision, so easily was he hit by the younger and faster Redman. The victory was no new feather for the Hoosier champ due to the fact Adgie was outclassed. • Adgie absorbed heavy punishment on the body and face, but managed to stay on his feet until the eighth when a right to the jaw sent him sprawling. He weathered the ninth, but was bowled over again in the tenth, groggy, bleeding and ex-

Stove League Chatter BV EDDIE ASH

NOW that the Brooklyn Nation-) als are under new management, Flatbush fans desire anew nickname for the team, and it is said the monicker of Kings may be selected. Since rotund Wilbert Robinson was ousted as pilot, the name Robins has lost its significance and many Brooklyn followers dislike the old names of Superbas and Dodgers. It’s a good bet, though, that Dodgers will suffice, if Kings or a better name isn't chosen. The borough of Brooklyn comprises the county of Kings. a a tt It’s a difficult matter to chance the name of a league ball club. Indianapolis tried it once under Charlie Carr, using the moniekrr Browns, instead of Indians, but the switch was shortlived and failed to go over. The onlv other instance of a change of names in the American Association since its organization in 1902 was at Columbus last vear when Red Birds was substituted for Senators. When the nrohfbition law went on the books there v as some agitation to re-name the Milwaukee leam. replacing the name Brewers with something less wet in rharacter. but the. majority of fans there howled down the suggestion in no uncertain terms. e ts tt Chick Hnfev.

Chick was compelled to cough up some currency to California game wardens when found in possession of more than the lawful amount of ducks after a shooting expedition.

Detroit pruned its list of players to thirty-three by sending five back !to the minors. Outfielders Doljack, H. Walker and Hughes were sent to the Toronto International League club.

Pinch-Hitter Rivers Delivers and Muncie Halts Tigers’ Win Streak

BY VERN BOXELL Times Staff Correspondent MUNCIE, Ind., Jan. 6.—Today’s best seller —“Rivers, Stay Away From My Door,” the theme song of all Indiana high school coaches. For Glynn Rivers has gone out and won another basketball game for Muncie. This time the victim of his dead-eye tossing was Alexandria’s previously-unbeaten Tigers. His last-minute field goal ended the Alex victory string at eight here Tuesday night, 16 to 15. Although Pete Jolly’s pastimers were victors on the scoreboard, it was a decided boost to Alexandria’s cage stock, if that is any consolation to Red Omer and his Tiger backers. Any team that can hold the full-strength Bearcats to one point on the Magic City tossers’ home court is entitled to a front row seat. And so today, Muncie shared the top rung of the Hoosier prep ladder with a quintet of husky, scrappy

Soph May Start Tilt Reissner Works at Forward for Butler; Danville Here Friday. Butler’s Bulldogs expect one of the hardest tests of the season when they take on Central Normal's speedy cagers at the Fairview fieldhouse Friday night. Tony Hinkle, Blue mentor, has been sending his veteran cagers through long and hard practice sessions at the fieldhouse since the recent triumph over Montana State, and the Bulldogs will be in good condition when they go out after their seventh win in eight starts Friday. Reissner, former Tech star, may be used in Friday’s starting lineup, Hinkle has indicated in recent scrimmage sessions. The lanky sophomore forward has been used in place of Lyle Withrow, senior pastimer, and has shown to good advantage. Ray Miller’s injured ankle still handicaps the stellar forward, but he will be ready for action Friday. Searle Proffitt at center, and Chadd and Tackett at guard will complete the Bulldog starting lineup. Central Normal, unbeaten by a Hoosier rival in two campaigns, has won twenty-four of its last twentyfive starts. The only loss by Coach S. H. Leitzman’s crew was a setback by Illinois State Normal recently.

hot-shot, was effectively sewed up, getting a fielder in the first and second half. Jack Mann, Muncie’s giant Negro center, showed lack of practice. On one occasion, he missed five consecutive tip-in efforts, and if that isn’t proof Jack Mann is not at his best, then there is none. The dusky warrior was “held” to one field goal —and held is the right word. Muncie’s deliberate attack held the count down in the first half. A baffled Alexandria crew trailed 8 to 4 at the intermission. But a sudden rush, with Thias and Welcome swishing the drapes, knotted the score. Welcome missed a free throw, but Murray converted on his. Thias’ long effort gave Alex a 10-to-9 edge at the three-quarters post. It was here that Mann missed his five tipins, but Kleinfelder dropped a long one through and Muncie led again. Shuck hit from the same spot—two shots, four points. Wells tossed one in from the dressing room, and Thais repeated from the candy counter on the other side of the hardwood, which with Kleinfeldler’s gratis toss, made it 14-14. About this time, Rivers, whose four field goals beat Anderson last week, was rushed into action at back guard. He fired and missed.
