STOVE LEAGUE BY EDDIE ASH
JOE' BOWMAN, the pitcher purchased from Portland of the Pacific Coast League by the Athletics, was a gift to the Beavers and developed into a star. President Tom Turner went on a scouting trip and at Pueblo, Colo., saw a talented outfielder, Bob Johnson. The Pueblo officials asked $12,000 for Johnson and Turner paid it after much dickering and beefing about the high price for a class A player. To ease Turner's mind, Pueblo tossed in Bowman for good measure and_ Turner returned home, thinking' Bowman was an outfielder. Johnson made good and wn fold to the Athletics and Turner assigned Bowman to the paalurt despite the fact the player insisted he was a pitcher. Tomer was looking; for hitters and not hurlers. When Spencer Abbott took over the managerial reins at Portland last spring he realized a mistake had been made on Bowman and placed him on the mound staff. It took some time for the voting slabster to regain control, but constant practice brought It back and he also mastered a screwy screw ball that mystlfled Coast batters.
It is rumored in Philadelphia that Lefty Grove is going to cause Connie Mack to became stoop-shouldered by asking lor a 1932 contract calling for $35,000. Mack evidently got wind of lefty’s threat for he left for Florida the other day and announced that player contracts won’t be sent out until next week. Orove drew SIB,OOO last year and a bonus arrangement: boosted his pay for the year to $22.000 exclusive of world’s series profits. The see is said to be yearning for tnirtv-flye grand and no bonus agreement. He won thirty-one games and lost four last season. AL FINNEY, young catcher, is expected to win his spurs with the Pittsburgh Pirates sooner or later. He caught six games for the Bucs in 1931 and convinced observers he has the ability to handle the difficult assignment back of the plate. Finney came up from the Hazelton (Pa.) team of the NYP League. He is a righthanded swinger and hit .308 In the few games in which he saw service at Pittsburgh. Jack Ward, a .318 swatter with New Orleans last season, will buck up against big odds trying to land a berth with the Cleveland Indians this year. Vosmik, Averill and Porter form a star trio and hardly will be pushed aside by a rookie. Ward may do well enough to serve as extra fly chaser; otherwise it looks like Toledo for the former Pelican. He is a tourist, having played with ten clubs in five years. New Orleans tried Ward at first base, second and third before placing him in center field, where he made good. He is not classed as a flashy ball hawk. Another promising slugger slated for a major trial this year is Ed Coleman, bought from Portland by the Athletics. The fans In the web foot country think Ed will shine in the big show. He is a distance hitter. BILL TERRY'S salary clash with the Giants has brought to light the fact he has been at odds with Manager McGraw for three years. It is said they have not spoken except whenever it was absolutely necessary. The first sacker has balked every year and in 1926 held out and failed to join the team until after the season got under way. Bill started out as a pitcher and was owned by the Giants when playing with Toledo. It was at McGraw’s suggestion that Terry gave up the mound for first basing. Bill protested the change, but it was a break for the southerner. Charlea Stoneham, Giants' president, doubtless is straining his soup before eating nowadays. Terry, Mel Ott and Fred Fitzsimmons are lined up against him in salary controversies and it wasn’t so long ago that Stoneham was mixed up in a court fight with Francis McQuade, former club treasurer, in which testimony was given to the effect that McOuade mentioned about dropping a nill in Charlie’s broth. Ownie Bush has promised Minneapolis to discuss again the proposition of accepting the Miller managerial job on a basis of part ownership of the franchise and will leave Indianapolis for the Flour City Sunday. If Bush becomes part owner it will mean he will be tied up there indefinitely as pilot. He is not sure of accepting the offer with part ownership included, he said today, but indicated It’s a good het that he will be the new Miller manager. Ownie will hold a long conference on Monday with Mike Kelley, who is part owner manager and i secretary. Kelley is slated to become Miller president and desires to give up managerial duties. He spent very little time in the dugout last season.

Off The Backboard BY VERN BOXELL -
THERE are basketball games, and then there are affairs like this Muncie-Newcastle thing up at the town of Jolly men tonight. It’s been going on for years, this Trojan-Bearcat tussle. It’s one of the most bitter rivalries in Hoosier prep circles, and yet there have been few distasteful flareups as in the cases of other natural foes, such as Wash-

Muncie, their first in regional play since 1928 inU “ Pn OVer But their hilarity was short lived. Chuck Icerman and Bob Schuck flipped in some late fielders that enabled the Bearcats to ™,ii Y, front and continue their battle on to the state title
H U But that has nothing to do with V.onight’s game. Icerman, Davidson, Trasuer and Cook are gone from the Bearcats. Mann and Shuck are left, and they are capably assisted by a quartet of newcomers—Kleinfelder, Murray, Curtis and Rivers, the latter pair reserves from last year’s champions. tt n Newcastle appears better equipped. Only the famous Roller Rowe is missing from last year’s outfit which nearly plugged the dope bucket. Huffman still is Best backguard in the state. White has improved at forward, and Thoman has developed into a dangerous scoring threat. Dakin is a better than average floor guard, and Whiteman performs well as center. He may give away tonight to Dungan, an elongated boy moved up from reserves recently. nun Just at first glance, it’s hard to figure out how the Muncie-Newcastle game tonight could have any effect on Tech, but it might mean plenty for Mr. Tim Campbell’s east side outfit. Newcastle is leading the Northern Conference race with five wins and no losses. Tech is second, with three victories and a loss. If Newcastle should drop tonight’s encounter, Tech will be tied for the league lead—at least until the Big Green battles Lebanon here Saturday night. If you’re planning on making the trip to Muncie tonight, be sure you have your pasteboards. According to word from the Bearcat officials, all the seats in the house that Pete built have been sold, which means some 7.000 fans crammed in the seats and aisles. Newcastle will be represented by 1,500 fans.

Louis Comiskey said Vic Frasier, right-handed pitcher, had been given a substantial salary increase. Lu Blue, first baseman, did not receive a cut, he said, but Tommy Thomas and Ted Lyons were given reductions. Nothing was revealed about other contracts. RACING DATES AWARDED By Times Special GOSHEN, N. Y., Jan. 15.—Indianapolis Grand circuit racing dates will be Sept. 5 to 9, it was announced here Thursday. Nine meetings, opening June 27 at North Randall and closihg Sept. 27 at Lexington, are scheduled. Two open weeks are on the schedule, but officials said they would be filled. About $500,000 in plrses will be offered at the nine .meetings.
Levinsky Favorite Chicago Slugger Battles Paolino; Light Heavy Rivals Clash. By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 15.—King Levinsky, promising young Chicago heavyweight, and Paolino Uzcudun, veteran Basque, will meet in the first major pugilistic battle of the new year at the Chicago Stadium tonight. The bout is scheduled for ten rounds and is expected to draw a crowd of 16,C00 and gate receipts of more than $40,000. Betting odds, which have fluctuated from Levinsky to Paolino to even money, favored Levinsky at 6 to 5 today. Levinsky recently defeated Tommy Loughran in New York. Paolino has fought most of the leading heavyweights during the past four years and has never been knocked off his feet. Three light heavyweight tournament bouts, each ten rounds, are on tonight’s program as follows: Dave Maier, Milwaukee, vs. Abie Bain, Newark; Baxter Calmes, Wichita, Kan., vs. Bob Olin, Newark, and Charley Belanger, Canada, vs. George Nichols, Buffalo. In the 8-round opener Yake Okun, New York, will meet Tony Cancela, Levinsky's stablemate.

on top in tonight’s fray. Bedford’s Stonecutters stamped the only blot on the Newcastle record a few weeks back at the Stone City. Mr. Pete Jolly, genial Muncie mentor, has said that the team getting the breaks will win tonight’s battle, and although I also believe that a good team can make its breaks, I am inclined to agree with Mr. Jolly. In case you’ve forgotten (and even if you do remember), the Trojans almost eliminated the Bearcats from the state title race before the Jollymen reached the fieldhouse. In a typical MuncieNewcastle regional battle, the Trojans led by an apparently
safe margin with less than two minutes to play. Newcastle pastimers turned handsprings on the hardwood during a Bearcat time outoverjoyed at the apparent triumph over
