(Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-<sood gracious me, I do hope that nothing occurs to stop Herr Liederkranz Schmeling and Mr. Mickey Mouse Walker from climbing into the ring somewhere this spring and flying at each other with murderous Intent. Or at least with what may appear id be such from the back yard seats. Thfc prospect of a meeting between these, two gentlemen embraces too many fascinating angles to permit of a cancel.atton as. If you can believe what vou near and read, is threatened. In fact, it seems Just like ola times. Throughout all the preliminary maneuvers there nas run an uelv threat of dirty work, sinister characters and unsavory manipulations. Mr. Albert (the Scarfacei Capone has been brought back into the picture, supposedly the power behind Mr. Jack Kearns who cracks the whip over Mickey Mouse. Another gangland person, known as Little Augle. operating In the Brooklyn district, and at present. I believe, devoting his peculiar genius to the improvement of the breed in Miami, is also conspicuously mentioned. Little Augle Is pictured by curb stone gossip as at least a social confidant of Mr. Joe Jacobs, otherwise known as Yuss 'he Muss. There are some who say that Little Augle has what the boys call a <>i Schmeling. who is Mr. Jacobs’ chief business asset. BUB LAST summer Little Augie paid a surreptitious visit to the Schmeling camp and Mr. Jacobs was very much irked when some prying journalists surprised him in conversation with the Brooklyn gentleman way out yonder in the cornfield under the shielding foliage of an aid apple tree. Mr. Jacobs, who knows his Emily Post, turned upon the vulgar cazeteers. and cried: 'Can't a guv talk to a friend *f he wants to?” It was crystal white, pure gold logic and the abashed scribblers turned to their hall bedrooms thoroughly chastened. Now with Mr. Capone lending his moral nd civic sunport to Mr. Kearns, as the whlspprlng winds have it. and Little Augie crooning sweetly in the car of Mr. Jacobs : under the old annle tree. I claim that /gives vou an exhilarating set up for a heavyweight fight, and so I plead wi',n he Promoters not to drop it. The possibilities for gav hilarity in tid out of the ring are so enormous that everyone interested In the Oner things of the prize ring should get behind this extraordinary contest. Only a skilled student In mvsterv drama would be qualified to attempt to foretell the result. And even such an expert would have his difficulties because It has long been known that Mr. Capone and Little Augle Just like that—if not more so. Bv all means Ipt us have a SchmellncWalker fight., and a return to those fine old romantic days of the mobs. Hamas Seeks Sharkey Go tty United Press NEW YORK. Jan. 18.—Jack Sharkey of Boston probably will defend his American heavyweight championship against Steve Hamas, former Penn State football star, in a ten-round bout at Madison Square Garden in February, Hamas’ manager, Charley Harvey, announced Sunday.

Stove League Chatter BY EDDIE ASH

Retrogression in diamond skill as well as depression in business plays an important part in the many salary reductions on the Brooklyn roster, according to Frank York, Dodger president. He points out that Babe Herman batted only .313 last year and was paid $19,000 and that pitcher Dazzy Vance drew down $22,500 and won only eleven games against thirteen losses, rating No. 22. His earned run rating was No. 16 and he pitched only twelve complete games, though appearing in thirty tilts. In other words, it was a dismal record for a top salaried hurler. B tt tt Other Brooklyn players who have been asked to accept cuts are Frank O’Doul. who batted .336; Glenn Wright, who hatted .287 and was out of the same half cf the season; Johnny Frederick, who hit .270; Dei Bissonette, who averaged .290: A1 Lopez, who fell away to 269. and Pitcher Watson Clark, who won 14 games and lost 10 last season. bob Lefty O’Doul’s batting average ot .336 was fair enough for his 1931 salarv. but the flv chaser failed to shine in batting in runs, seventv-five being his total. Moreover. Frank had fourteen errors and finished last in fielding among National League outfield regulars with a low percentage of .954. In a statement credi’ed to O’Doul the other dav. he blamed losses ! in the stock market, declaring he cou'an't j keep his mind on the game while worrying ! about the kidnaped bankroll. BUB HERE are some other figures re- . ported sent out as the ax hit the Brooklyn pay roll: O’Doul, from $15,000 to $14,000; first baseman Bissonette, from SIO,OOO to $9,000; catcher Lopez, from SIO,OOO to $9,000; shortstop Wright, from $16,000 t 9 $12,000; Lefty Clark, from $12,000 to SII,OOO, and outfielder . Frederick, from $12,000 to $8,000.' Players of less renown who slipped in form during 1931 also were reduced. b b n Information from Brooklvn savs outfielder Rube Bressler and pitcher Adolfo Luoue ! are due to receive outrieht releases. It jis said waivers have been asked on the veterans and if no big league club claims | the old timers thev will be declared .ree j I agents. Both have been in the majors , for a lone SDan of vears and both are former Cincv Reds. Luoue won *• veu games and lost six in 1931. but mtch.-d onlv five complete contests. Bress .*r batted .281 and .was used chiefly as a Dinch hitter. b b u Harry heilmann, the old slugging outfielder, will try a comeback with Cincinnati this year and will go south for training. First, Harry will go to Hot Springs, Ark., and boil out and take daily throwing practice. He was out of the game last year with a lame shoul- ; der, and drew no pay, owing to the j fact he was not knocked out in dia- | mond action. Early last week, when’ mild weather prevailed, Heilmann went to Redland field with shortstop Leo Durocher, dusted off bats, balls , and gloves, collected a gang of kids and took a workout. B B B Jack Grossman, three-letter sport star at Rutgers college has been offered a ; contract by the Yankees and ia giving j deep thought to the proposition. He is j a senior and .s undecided about postponing the pursuit of the sheepskin in favor of the horsehide. The Yankees tried to sign Grossman when he was in high school at Brooklyn four years ago. Jack starred at Rutgers in baseball, football and basketball, playing infield and outfield on the nine. Power with the bat drew the attention of New York scouts. It’s interesting to delve into baseball statistics and discover that certain major league ball clubs grow fat vear ter year on certain other teams. Ask poor old I Cincy, strangled every season by the St Louis Cardinals. In the last three years these clubs have met 66 times ana the Cardinals have copped 57 games to a mere 9 for the Reds. Between Chicago Cubs and Boston Braves, through the last four vears. Chicago has apnexed 66 U!:r to 22 for Beantown.
