Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 13—One of Mr. Western Union's young Rente delivered a message to my desk. It reads: "I am going to have Mickey Walker knock that Schmeling right in your lap. Jack Kearns.” Os cour*e. It may be ihet Mr. Kearns feels 1 did not become sufficiently extatic about the showing Walker made against Sharkey *ome time ago and that he really intends to carry out his threat Which will be all rtght with me I have always wanted to ait at the ringside with a large heavyweight oarked In my lap I guess it's the mother fixation bp a IAM afraid you are going to hear a lot from Mr. Kearns in the coming weeks. He is back in the heavyweight picture after a long lap6c of inactivity. The gentleman is never at his best unless he Is bouncing around with the heavyweights. It takes the big fellows to stir his artistic soul and move him to poetic flights. You will And him these day*—and par. Ucularlv these nights—in one of the midtown hotels holding open house to all and sundry, and such is the appeal of Mr. Kearns that his guest list far overshadows that of the current heavyweight champion. I mean o say that wherever Mr. Kearns Is vou will And the mob. And. bv the mob I mean promoters. Aghters and newspaper men. To me. the answer is simple He is an imaginative fellow. He has news sense. HUB YOU know', of course, that he used to manage Jack Demp:ey. Personally. I think that when Mr. Kearns and Dempsey split a great partnership went on the rocks. I also believe that whatever the one says about the other should be discounted at least 50 per cent. But still it 1* Interesting to hear what I he. bovs sa v. In this particular instance, j I regret. I can not offer, in rebuttal, the Dempsey side. All I can dr is present (he feelings of Mr. Kearns, and vou can take It or leave it In the order named. To begin with, vou will. I think, be : surprised to hear that. Mr Kearns thinks : Gene Tunnev Is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. "I would never have matched Dempsey with Tunnev.” asserted Mr. Kearns. "He was Just the tvpe of fellow who would have beaten him. A .stand-un straight sort of guy with a good left hand and plenty of courage. On ton of that,, he had brains. He could always change his stvle of Aghting.” Mr. Kearns was asked what, would have happened If Tunnev had met the Dempsev of Toledo. “It would have been the same. Tunney would have won.” The seventh round In Chicago was brought up again—the round in which | Tunnev was knocked down and had. by | all accounts, the bencAt of a long count. How' about that? Mr. Kearns tried to be fair. He admitted that Dempsey's legs were not, as good at Chicago as they might have been at, Toledo He admitted that Dempsey ! might have been able to follow up the | knockdown opportunity with more speed j and effectiveness, but he wasn’t sure that : the result would have been any different. | K U IKNOW you are going to say that I am against Dempsey because we quarrelled,” declared Mr. Kearns. ‘ But I am honest when I say the guy never was a great fighter. I don't like to talk of myself, but I think I did as much for him as he ever did for himself.” Mr. Kearns was reminded that it was much safer to sign attractive contracts than to stop punches. “I will concede that.” said Mr. Kearns. “I do not want to lake anything away from Dempsey In the way of being a game guy—which he was—but whom did he beat?” Mr. Kearns then went to the book. Willard was a cripple and unconditioned. Miske was a sick man. Brennan was a second rater. Firpo was a freak. Gibhons was little more than a light heavy- i weight. Ca men tier was just a stage set- j ting. How do vou make a man-killer out of that? In a sense, Mr. Kearns is right, and at tlv same time I place little faith in his off-hand comment. I picked Dempsrv to beat Tunnev- I was wrong, of | course. But had I gone hv the book, I could have picked nobody but Tunney. It look all Dempsey had to beat Brennan. , He couldn't drop Gibbons In Afteen I rounds. He was luekv to beat Firpo. So whv the man-killer? Mr. Kearns savs Dempsey was strictly a ballvhooed Aghter. This means that Demosev would never have gotten where he is today without Mr. Kearns. I cuesl ion that plenty. I think I could have nut over Dcmpsev. I mean he had that certain something that Gus H. Fan goes for. PH P IDO not want to get into a controversy with Mr. Kearns or any one else as to whether Dempsey was a great fighter. At the moment,. I am more interested in why Mr. Kearns and Dempsey split. So far as I know, this point has not been touched upon publicly. "I'm glad vou brought that up.” con- j tinued Mr. Kearns. ''Everybody has been saving that we split, on account of Esteile Tavlor. Well. I think Estelle is a grand girl in a lot. of wavs. I want to tell you : that not once did Estelle enter into our ■ differences. "I took Dempsey when he was a bum and we had an agreement that we would split our earnings 50 per cent. At that time, a dollar was big dough to us. There came the time when the money rose to figures I couldn’t even count. I was making nlcntv out of Dempsev. I will admit. But when in these new circumstances. he demanded a rearrangement of the understanding, I said "the hell with V °''ln other words. I quit Dempsey. He didn’t quit me and vou can believe It or not."

Danville Five Trips Franklin ltn Time* Special DANVILLE. Inri.. Jan. 13.—With Schlutz showing the way with five field goals. Central Normal cagers picked up their winning stride again Tuesday night to turn back Franklin. 33 to 29. It was a close battle all the way.

By Times Special MUNCIE, Ind., Jan. 13.—Leading all the way until the last minute of play. Indianapolis Flashes were tied and then lost to Muncie Midgets. 31 to 29, in an overtime period in the finals of the invitational blind tournament here Tuesday night. The Flashes led at the half. 7to 6. Both teams previously had eliminated strong contenders in easy fashion. Whitney, Icerman and Cook were outstanding players in the Midget squad, Whitney firing in a long goal to tie the score just before the gun and then tossing in another during the extra period. Boyer. Dinninger and Sites were best for the losers.

LINKS STARS BATTLE IN $15,000 CALIENTE TOURNEY

Bulldogs Win Again Wabash Five Held to Three Field Goals; Michigan Five Next. Victory No. 8 was added to the • record of the Butler Bulldogs today. , and it was one of the most impressive triumphs of the season. Pete ! Vaughn's scrappy Wabash snipers ! were the victims of a 34 to 11 drubbing at the fleldhouse Tuesday. A brilliant defense which held the Scarlet snipers to long range efforts, and a fast breaking offense that sent Ray Miller and others under the nets for points gave Tony Hinkle’s pastimers the decision. Both teams started slowly, and It was six minutes before either registered a two-pointer. Miller snagged the first, giving Butler a 6 to 2 edge, and the count mounted steadily to 15 to 4 at rest time. With more than half of the second period remaining, Hinkle started running in his reserve pastimers, and it was a busy evening for the score keepers, twenty-two players seeing action. Butler used twelve players, Wabash ten. Although Miller collected eleven points Bert Davis, a part-time forward, provided something for the fans to talk about when he tossed in two buckets during his short stay in action. Tackett again proved the backbone of the Bulldog defense, backbone of the Bulldog defense. Three field goals were all Wabash could get.

Off The Backboard

IF Mr. Gus H. Fan of Indianapolis does not get his fill of top- j notch basketball action this week, ; then there is something wrong with the good gentleman and he should ] sec a doctor right off hand. It is hard to remember just when a card offering the class and color of this week's program has been placed at the disposal of the local filberts. tt a a Right un here at the top you have Butler and Western State, a natural that should pack ’em into the field house. Mr. Tony Hinkle’s Bulldogs have been rolling along at a ranid clip this season. In /act, thier perfection and consistent winning evidently has soured the fans. But with the blue warriors standing a very excellent chance of having their large and assorted ears pinned back Friday, it would be a bright idea for the fteldhouse janitors to brush the dust and cobwebs off nil the. seats, as they probably will get some use Friday night. tt tt tt If Western State hadn't beaten Lovola. then it would have been lust another basketball game to most of the local followers. But the faithful who saw Lovola show the Bulldogs some fancy tricks not so long ago are fullv aware it would take a Class A outfit to defeat the Windy City crew, which makes Western State fust that. 'Buck Read, who is head man of the Kalamazoo outfit has been coaching the Hilltoppers for ten years. His teams have won 135 games during that time while losing 45. for a .750 average, which is a fat percentage in anvbodv’s record book. tt tt a AND If Mr. Gus Fan prefers his basketball package done up with high school ribbons, he still has an excellent chance to spend his evenings, as well as his shekels, profitably. In the first place, there’s the county tourney at the Armory on Friday and Saturday. tt tt a A county title is the ambition of eleven strong quintets which will get into action in the first round. Beech Grove is (he defending champion, but 1 have it on the word of some boys in the know that there will be anew king crowned Saturday night. Blit the wise guys wilt say no more. They have narrowed it down to *our teams—Southport. Ben Davis. Decatur Central and Warren Central. That’s as far as thev’tl go. u tt tt Ole' Backboard Is willing to hand the palm to anv of the ten other outfits that knocks off Southport. The Cardinals sue big veterans. I am told that Ben Davis. 1930 champion and runner-up last rear, may do just that. Anv wav vou look at it. the home town coaches might send a few scouts over to the Armory Friday and Saturday, since most of these teams will have something to sav about who will win the 1932 sectional championship here — and maybe thev’ll sav plenty. n tt tt Mr. Thomas (Tim to you) Campbell’s Tech skyscrapers are In for a busy week-

King Scores Point Victory Over W indy City Scrapper

Left jabs and right crosses brought victory to young Jack King. Little Rock junior welterweight, in his ten-round scrap with Harry Dublinsky, Chicago veteran, at the Armory Tuesday night. King was in great shape and jumped off to a fast start to gain an early lead. The maulers mixed freely and kept up a swift pace over the route, though both were minus hard punching power for 140-pound battlers. Their blows lacked steam. They were still going strong at the finish and no knockdowns were registered. The second half of the bout supplied the best milling, with King constantly coming back with a rally whenever Dublinsky launched an attack. Friends of Dublinsky said he broke his right hand on Nov. 4 and was short of

end, First of all, there is Mr. Glenn Curtis’ Martinsville outfit. Not more than a week ago, a game with the Artesians would have been considered a sure triumph. But when Mr. Curtis’ boys rose up and smacked Sweet Alice of Vincennes on the schozzle last week, the tune changed, because Sweet Alice isn’t being swatted on the beak by everybody this season. This one is on tap at Martinsville Friday. On Saturday, Mr. Butch Neuman's Lebanon outfit will show the local fans out at the east side gym just how basketball used to be played.

One of Fuzzy’s team-mates on the great high school and college team produced by Griz Wagner was Mr. Burl Friddle.

Down the Alleys BY LEFTY LEE

Entries are now being accepted for the •annual Tri-State Printcraft tournament that will be rolled in Columbus, 0., during the latter part of February. Interest is keen among the local members of this organization, and with the first combinations rolling regularly each week the locals have a wonderful chance to cop top honors in any or all divisions of play. Grover Williams is in charge of reservations and is looking forward to a record entry to make the trip. Secretary M. Mathews of the Knights of Columbus Bowling League and nis crew of boosters are busy lining up all members of the K. of C. to enroll and help make the tenth annual meet of the national K. of C. tournament, that will be rolled on the Pritchett alleys, the biggest and best ever held. Don’t forget the city tournament. Entries are now being accepted by Norman Hamilton, secretary of the City Bowling Association, and with the class A, B and C system in use the largest meet ever held by this body seems assured. Bowlers must do their part to put this meet over, however. bv getting in their entries early, so enroll today. Teams that intend to roll in the American Bowling Congress, international meet at Detroit this spring, are reminded that entries close Feb. 1. The new Shortridge high school league, that started on the Parkway drives, found several of the boys in the pocket and Esterline. Watson and Hendricks rolled games of 246. 222 and 203. The Comanches and Blackfeet won three from Sioux and Apaches as Mohawks took the odd game from the Pawnees. Holcomb <fc Hoke and Indianapolis Office Supply won three games from Hoosier Specials and Oscar Tire squad as Centennial Press and Indianapolis Drop Forge took two from Barrett Coal ana Bowes Seal Fast during the Hoosier A. C. plav at Pritchett's. Schmidt nosed out King for high single game. 254 to 253. but King was best over the three-game route with a total of 649. Piez had 634; E. Barrett, 605, and Renfrew. 601. Citizens Gas wrecked what hopes the A. C. W. of A. held for winning tne pennant in the Commercial League when they 1 won the entire series. Ballard and Compac Tent also won three from Eagle Machine No. 2 and Jewel Teas, as G. J. Mayer. Crescent Paper and Hoosier Pete copped two from Eagle Machine No. 1, Pure Oil and Central States. Hendricks rolled ihree games over the 200 mark to lead the field with 625. Carteaux had 606; Hill, 605, and Jacobs. 602. The feature plav during the Women’s Social League on the Hotel Antlers drives was the battle between the West Side Furniture and Marott Shoe Shop girls, the West Side team taking three, out only after a struggle all the way. the second game showing scores of 967 to 920. The West Side girls also copped three-game honors with a total of 2.706. Giesen Products and J. P. girls also staged a close series, the Giesen team taking the last one. 833 to 875. to avoid a shutout. Other games resulted in a triple win for i Roepke Floral and Antlers Aliev five from Indianapolis Glove and Komstohk girls.

I DOUBT if Steve will be able to throw as many punches in Loughran's direction as did the King, but I expect him to throw 'em harder. Levinsky is a swinger and he stuns rather than paralyzes. Hamas is a sharp, clean puncher as his record of twenty-three knockouts in twenty-six fights testifies, and when he lands a clean one, it is customary for the victim to sway in the breezes for a split second, and then descend in a hurry If Hamas has Levinsky’s luck and smacks Loughran four or five clean ones, I expect to see Tommy go down and stay down. Personally. I hope this doesn't happen, for if

They have never been defeated by a girls’ team, while they hold several victories over strong men clubs. •*

it does it will mean the end of the string for the Philadelphian. And when Loughran quits, the ring will lose one of its most honest fighters, as well as one of its most fearless. Don’t be surprised if Loughran hands Hamas a licking. Tommy has been counted out before, only to come back into the top flight. When Sharkey knocked him kicking with a wild over-hand right the boys said it was the end. It wasn't long before Tommy, working quietly and without any fanfare, worked his way to the top again with sound victories over such good ones as Schaaf, Baer and Campolo.

Brooklyn Seeks Hack Cards Turn Down Clark for Wilson and Rhem Offer. BY LEO H. PETERSEN• United Press Stff Corresoondent NEW YORK, Jan. 13.—The Brooklyn Dodgers still are in the market for Lewis (Hack) Wilson, holdout outfielder of the St. Louis Cardinals, and close baseball followers believe the roly-poly playboy of the majors wil be doing his chores at Ebbets field this summer. President Frank York of the Dodgers has admitted trade negotiations with the Cardinals are still open. He said his latest proposal, which would send Lefty Clark to St. Louis in exchange for Wilson and Flint Rhem. apparently had failed to interest the Cardinal officials. Vance May Go York neither would confirm nor deny reports that Dazzy Vance, speed ball hurler, may go to the Cardinals for Wilson and some other player. It is understood St. Louis was more interested in Vance than in Clark, becai.se the Dazzler is 3 better box-office pitcher. The Cardinals, however, would be forced to pay approximately $5,000 a year more salary to Vance than they would to Clark. Max Carey, New Brooklyn manager, is in Clearwater, Fla., near the homes of both Vance and Clark. Wants Right Hander Carey has announced he is after a right-handed hitter to play centerfield. Last year with Babe Herman in right, Lefty CDoul in left and Johnny Frederick in center, the Robins lacked the punch at the plate when opposed by southpaw pitchers. Clark, one of the hard-luck pitchers of the majors, is considered one of the best southpaws in the National League. Baseball fans here feel Brooklyn would be getting the short end of the deal should Clark be traded for Rhem and Wilson. OTT REFUSES CUT By United Press NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 13.—Melvin Ott, New York Giants’ right fielder, is unwilling to accept the salary cut asked in his playing contract for 1932, and will return the contract unsigned, he said today.

—Stove League Chatter — BY EDDIE ASH

MOST of the long distance hitters in baseball are big fellows of heavyweight poundage, but there is one among them of lighter weight who drives the sphere over the fence with wallops that shoot out of the park with cannonball speed. Earl Averill is the name of the star with the powerhouse punch and he plays the center pasture for the Cleveland Americans. He notched thirty-three homers last year, running third to the giants, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Moreover, according to major league observers, Averill gives promise of becoming one of the game’s greatest. u a a Brooklyn could have used some of the victories compiled by Jim Elliott for the Phillies last season. The lefthander was peddled to Quakertown in a deal last winter and proceeded to win nineteen games for the Floundering Phils, a real achievement in second division company. His defeat record was fourteen. Elliott worked 249 innings and earned runs gleaned off his delivery totaled 118. He proved to be a big shot bnmp-off guy despite his demotion by the Dodgers. tt tt a According to Clark Griffith, owner of the Washington Senators, the wage-cutting oolicv in the big leagues will affect the top-salaried bovs. but not the athletes who receive only ordinary pav. There will be salary hikes here and there among ;owsalaried pastimers who finished with good records last year. Griffith savs. Eddie Roush, veteran outfielder with the Cincv Reds, cut himself off of the pay roll Tuesday and announced his permanent retirement from baseba’l. He was offered a 1932 contract providing he would accent a utility job. but stepped aside and out with thanks. Roush piled up a fortune in baseball. a tt tt EDDIE drew SIo.OOO last year in Redland, coming from the Giants after staying idle in 1930 when the New York club refused to meet his terms. Much of the $15,000 collected by the Hoosier in 1931 was practically a gift for he failed to perform regularly as a result of age and injuries and batted only .271. Roush was a star with the old Indianapolis Federals in 1914 and went on to gain big league fame after the
