Talking It Over BV JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Jan. 9.—One of the most entertaining shows in the Broadway district is a caricature of the obscurity which surrounds the vice-presidency. ■u Everybody. course knows that Mr Herbert Hoover Ik the President. Aside irom your correspondent, who is a verv student of political .science, and norsiblv Immediate relatives. I venture to say that not one out of ten can tell vou who is the vice-president Andi( mav t>' ( that I am stretchlna the odds outte a Well, ask anybody who was the best pitcher In the American League last vear. and there can be only one nn.'.wer -Lefty Grove. And who was next? Quick, now who was next While vou are rudeelina vour orain 1 win go into my dance. From time to time last year vou may have read of Ifftv Gomez of the Yanks. He is a tall, slender, personable youngster of 22. They tell me he Is a great pitcher. The records show that, next to Grove he was the greatest pitcher In the league last year. Young Mr. Gomez dropped Into the office Thursday. He 1* in town to see the entertaining show which I mentioned ''hove. Bv hi* own admission he has seen {’ ‘. or,v fitnes. To repeat, it deals mockingly with the runner up b n a TIUT that is not the reason Mr. Gomez goes to the show every night to say nothing of the matinees. He is in love. There is a little dark-haired lady In the cast who dances. Her name is June O'Dea. Pretty soon they are to be married. Should I say more? ft seems that I muat. Mr. Gomez is a country bov from an obscure spot called Rodeo. Cal a particularly apt name for •be town, since his dad was one of the firs' rodeo professionals this country ever knew. I ask vou to nirture voung Mr. Gomez, in his native environment, watching the bill posters paste up t.hrpe sheets of LilRussell. Hattie Williams and Bessie .. oy .- conceding that Rodeo. Cal., ever attracted there grand artists of the past, rjme is the greatest romanticist of all Y ,?H_ n _P w n<l flle same voung man with polished manners and slicked bark ", a js . ’ll , ! 1e hl * town getting ready to be married to a potentially famous dancer. Yankees" 6 * anfl blßßer contract with the Somehow it rather pleases me that June thb (zal, ij more important to him than the contract. I like to see these love u'fds get along. True, some of mv best friends are divorce lawyers, but in certain Instances, I can and will be broadminded. BUB MR. GOMEZ, to get back to the sports page, is essentially peculiar. As you know, he is a lefthander. The scribes call him the “Goofy Castillian.” He doesn't seem to mind it. On the contrary he precedes all his comments with the warning that "I am just a screwy lefthander.” f am convinced that the voung m-'n does not know his own strength. He has more frankness and less ego than any voung baseball star I have seen in a number of vears. To have dominated the pitching staff of the Yankees at 22 should mean something to a beginner. To Mr. Gomez It 1s a puzzle. I was Just in there throwing.” he sa\s. and with no suppressed modestv. The bovs who watched him game In and game. ; not tell vou he was throwing a last bp if second only to Grove's, and that he was throwing it with all the nonchalance and indifference of a Johnson. His record speaks for ttself. He won twenty-one and lost nine for a percentage ol 700. Next to Grove he was the on sfc effective pitcher In the league, finishing with an earned run average of 2.63. which means that over the long haul no team I made more than three runs a game off him. Not onlv that but the season was mo:e ; than a month gone before Manager McCarthy decided he was good enough to act as a starting pitcher. His first complete winning game was on June 26 when he j stopped the seventeen-game winning streak ot the A'?. beating Grove. 6 to 2. From the Fourth ot July to the end of the season he pitched on even terms with Grove. On that particular day Grove had ■ixteen wins and Mr. Gomez onlv six. .From then on Grove won fifteen and so did our hero. Just a couple ol lefthanders not onlv trying but getting along.

Battalino Places Health Above Title —‘But He’s Still Champ,’ Says Pilot

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Christo-pher (Bat) Battalino has done a lot of smart things in his life, such as hitting opponents hard and often on the profile, but his smartest piece of work came on Wednesday when he decided it was foolish, not to mention suicidal, to try and lose fifteen pounds for a fight. Having made this decision Battalino slipped away from his team-

PURDUE CHOICE OVER ILLINI, I. U. TESTS WILDCATS

5 Tilts on Big 10 Bill Badgers Battle Michigan, Gophers Take On Chicago. BY JOHN B. MILLER United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 9.—Every team ;in the Big Ten gets into action against a conference foe tonight as i the 1932 basketball title race gains S full headway. The Purduc-Illinois and IndianaNorthwestern contests are features, with the Hoosier state teams doped to break even. Purdue is favored | over the rangy Illinois, and Northwestern, defending champion, is a l slight choice to win its second conI lerence game. The season promises to unfold one of the hardest fought races in western conference history. Purdue is the only favorite to rate much above a field of dangerous contenders. The five games tonight follow: Purdue at Illinois. Indiana at Northwestern. Mirhixan at Wisconsin. Minnesota at Chicago, lowa at Ohio State. lowa, Chicago, Michigan and Minnesota meet their first conference competition. The game between Wisconsin and Michigan probably will be the hardest fought of the five contests. Dr. Walter E. Meanwell’s Badgers proved tough in their first game, although dropping an overtime contest to Northwestern after leading the Wildcats much of the way. The Wildcats, with Joe Rieff, conference high scorer last year, leading the attack, expects difficulty downing a veteran Indiana team which has failed to click so far this season, but may get started tonight. The Illini, smarting under a 29 to 28 upset by Ohio State, may make the going tough for Purdue. The Boilermakers scored a smashing 49 to 30 victory over Indiana in their first game. They will be led by Johnny Wooden, all-America guard, and Harry Kcllar, all-conference forward. The big Buckeyes should meet little opposition in lowa, an untried team built largely of sophomores. Minnesota, which won all five of itj pre-conference games, should add one more game to the Maroon's four-game losing streak. Chicago, lacking height and class, won only its first practice tilt.
