Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

"V[EW YORK, Jan. 22.—Nine years ago Billy Petrolle was a •■r checker for the Northern Paout In Fargo, N. D. He got up at 2 in the morning and worked until noon wading through snow drifts that came up to his ears. "It wa* hard work, but a fellow *as always sure of his dough.” relates Petrolle. a, D „ a , v ?L as * and a half a dav. tne same young man now a too th ®. bak ousting business, has S? i®‘ retl y r *. n5 000 lor himself, an of which he not only has but undoubtedly win keeD. being frugal bv nature and slinole as to taste .. 'Thev tried to get me to Invest It in the stock market, but I was dumb at the time. I thought the stock market as a p ace vou went to buy cattle. f ' He was dumb! I never talked to Petrolle until Thursday. In fact. !t was the first time I had ever seen him out of the ring. Most of these fighters surprise vou in their Informal moods, and the 138-Dounder they call the Fargo Express" Is no exception. In the ring. Petrolle Is a savage ooking creature swarthy, battered and ferocious. His nose rolls over his face like a miniature railway The region of his left eye is hammered Into a mosaic of angles and Knobs. A frayed, faded Indian blanket that hangs In disconsolate folds from his shoulders emphasizes the unallurin? nic®ut Petrolle U not as tough *s he looks. He couldn t be. On the contrary, he is still a car Checker at heart and still a little bit dazed at his success and the medium through which It came. That a man can become wealthy bv fighting Is somethin* that Drobablv will alwavs bewilder him. In the beginning fighting was a kid's tame With Petrolic—and unless I am being kidded, it still is. "Os course. I don’t like to get hit." he savs. “but I don't know anything I'd rather do than fight. "And." as an aft-er-thought.. "I don't know anvbodv I’d rather fight, than Jimmy McLarnin. a a a IT was Petrolle's first fight with McLarnin in Garden that lifted him to the big leagues of the ring, an amazing upset and a stirring melodrama of flying fists. Among others, old man Williams cut loose with a terrific beef againsi the matchmaker for sending Petrolle against JacLarnln. It seemed much too one sided. You know what haonrtied. Petrolle gave the Irishman the worst beating of his career. . ‘‘l thought I knocked him out in the fourth round," savs Petrolle. Quite a few of us thought the same. It was a narrow squeeze anyway. At the very most McLarnin lust did manage to Atagger to his feet the count of ten. and from then on he survived through the graciousness of fate and the vastness of his courage. Old timers are still jabbering about that fight, but to Petrolle it was lust another work out. "I can beat McLarnin every night in the week If he will stand un and swing with me as he did In our first fight, but when he goes Into his dance and starts flicking me with (abs and back hands I'm not so hot. Besides. I don't call that fighting." Petrolle’s ring emotions, as vou can tee, tun to the nrimitive. He reveis In the booming drums and the crashing cymbal*. The zither recitals can go for Aunt Emma. Demoeev Is his idol and ideal He he tried to mould hls fighting style and temperament after the Old Man Mauler. His best punch is a short left hook to the body delivered irt the Dempsey manner. He even lets his beard grow a counle of days before a fight. "And one of these days I am going to have mv nose made over, too." he adds.

Cox Is Returned Victor on Points Over Boston Youth

Tracy Cox, Indianapolis, used his superior punching power to outscore Vernon Cormier, Boston, over the ten-round route at Tomlinson hall Thursday night and the commission judges ruled in favor of the local mauler by unanimous decision. Cox enjoyed a big pull in weight and was the aggressor for most of the distance. Weights at 3 p. m. were announced as 13VA for Cox and 127 for Cormier, but many fans suspected the difference was even greater when the lads entered the ring. Cormier annexed a close decision over Tracy in a seven-round scrap at Boston several weeks ago, and Cox had his heart set on landing a knockout in the return engagement. Cormier was too fast and shifty, however, and made Tracy miss

—Stove League Chatter— BY EDDIE ASH

OSCAR ROETTGER, slugging first sacker sold to the Philadelphia Athletics by St. Paul, has been in the majors on five previous occasions, but on his other trips to the big line he was listed as a pitcher more than as an infielder. After St. Paul finally got full property rights to the big fellow several years ago, he was assigned to the initial bag and left there, eventually developing into a consistent hitter and efficient fielder. Roettger owns a good arm and can blast the sphere around the diamond with speed. He will be 33 next month, but is bold enough to think he car compel Jimmy Foxx to shift to third base or take a seat on the bench. M M tt John Miljui. the former Cleveland and Pittsburgh hurler. Is unduly particular about the weather In the localities where he dors his baseball playing and It will be interesting to see how he sizes up the problem of hls latest move. Last year John objected to the weather around San Francisco and the Seals sold him to Seattle, the far-north club of the Pacific Coast League. Recently Seattle shipped him in Hollywood. 1,400 miles south at the opposite end of the rirruit. a m George Knothe. former Kansas Citv short stop, will be with the Philly Nationals this year, having been drafted from New Orleans. He is going to the majors on the strength of fielding skill and not cower with the bludgeon. He was a flashy fielder when with the Blues, but lost out on account of weak hitting. Anvwav. the Phillies thought so well of his style that they grabbed him last fall, evidently figuring their luck would hold good on players drafted from New Orleans. Pinkie Whitnev and Phil Collins were stars obtained in that wav from the Pels. Rnothe batted 283 last year and ranked first among Southern Association short stops in the field. u u * DIZZY DEAN called on Cardinal officials in St. Louis the other dry to undergo a physical examination and Secretary Clarence Lloyd was appointed policeman for the rookie during his stay in the big city.

Dodgers Drop Two Veterans By United Press NEW YORK. Jan. 22.—The Brooklyn Robins today announced they had given unconditional releases to Adolph Luque, veteran Cuban pitcher, and Rube Bressler, outfielder. Both Luque and Bressler saw part-time service last year. They have been in the National League more than ten years each.

many times Thursday when he cut loose with a potential haymaker. The Indianapolis boxer didn’t escape being hit and stopped plenty of gloves himself, but the down east boy is a light hitter and the points scored against Tracy were short of sting. Other results: Lefty Nicholson. Shelbyville. was awarded the verdict over Pug Smith. Indianapo.'is, in six rounds. The welterweights tossed a lot of gloves at the finish of the *crap. A. belated rally bv Smith fell short of overcoming a lead piled up by the southpaw. Speedy Ricco. Chicago bantam, was given the nod over Battling Hook. Flint. Mich., in six stanzas. The lads made it a fight and Ricco won bv a narrow margin. Jack O'Brien, local youthful heavyweight, slugged out a four-round victory over the veteran Joe Brian. Jamestown. Brian was knocked down in the opening canto. Roger Le Rov. Indianapolis featherweight. won bv an edge over TJobbv Vernon. Indianapolis, four rounds. Lester Prather, local welter, and Cliff Stickler, drew in four rounds. Paul Wagner. citv featherweight, stopped Red Shelton. Frankfort, in the second round.

for Houston, Carleton won twenty and lost seven for the same team and Starr won twenty and lost aeven at Rochester. Starr Is another example of confidence and boosts his own ability along the lines followed by Dean. It’s no surprise, therefore, that the Cardinals traded off the high-salaried Burleigh Grimes to the Cubs. tt tt u Announcement that the Reading Internationals will train in the north at Evansville, Ind.. recalls a frigid day several years ago when the Indianapolis club landed in the Pocket city. The Indians made the jump from training camp in Louisiana, where weather had been sum-mer-like throughout their stay. The athletes were in a special coach and the drop in temperature went unnoticed as the train steamed north and across the Ohio river. The car was switched on a siding at Evansville during the night and the heat was turned off. When the players emerged out of their berths the car was a refrigerator with outside temperature at zero. n tt tt Phil Ball, owner of the St. Louis Browns, has net earned a nickel on his baseball investment for the laat five years and says it cost $2,000 a day to operate his hobby during the regular playing season. Ball blames himself for the big increase in pay to star players. He entered the game when organized baseball and the Federal League were at war and says he doubled and tripled wages to pastimers of just average skill. tt * tt Reports drifting in from the eastern baseball front sav the New York Giants tried to swing a deal with the Brooklyn Dodgers for pitcher Dazzy Vance, offering Eddie Marshall, inflelder. and Fred Leach, outfielder. The Dodgers rejected the proposition with the announcement they don’t care to see Vance on the Giants’ staff. The veteran might have a good year and it would be embarrassing to Flatbush officials if the Dazzler stepped out and stood the Dodgers on their heads. Keen rivalry exists between the two teams and Brooklyn fans always are at their best when their club trims John McGraw’s pastimers. JARRELU KING DRAW By Time* Special MUNCIE, Ind„ Jan. 22.—Jack King, Little Rock welterweight, was awarded an unpopular draw decision in his ten-round battle with Pee Wee Jarrell of Mishawaka here Thursday.

Pat Malone Takes Salary Cut and Signs With Cubs

By United Press MILAN, 0., Jan. 22.—Pat Malone, star right-handed pitcher of the Chicago Cubs, told the United Press today he had accepted the 1932 contract offered him by the club. Malone would not say what the terms of the contract were, but indicated he took a salary cut. Malone returned from a vacation in Florida recently. He said he had been in Chicago, where he talked with officials of the Chicago club and signed his 1932 contract. He said he had reached “a satisfactory salary agrement in view of cuts taken by other members of the team.” Malone’s comeback into the good

Off The Backboard BY VERN BOXELL

IT has been a very quiet year on the Hoosier basketball front. All the time I have been watching for somebody to say something which would indicate basketball in Indiana still was the same article, and I must confess I was becoming discouraged. But the awarding of the sectionals and regionals sounded the starting gong, and apparently anew high will be set. Already I have seen him called “Czar” Trester in three different colums. n tt n Up in the far north, where men are men and ant hills are dunes, and where Mr. A. L. Trester, eommlsisoner of the I. H. S. A. A., still is the most unpopular guyln the world, even during this depression, they are knocking louder than opportunity. ’ It seems Goshen dislikes the idea of Central and Riley, South Bend high schools, and Mishawaka, being included in the Goshen sectional tourney play. The Goshen gym has been crowded to capacity, 2,800, in past years with just ten Elkhart county teams in action and with the additions, they don’t believe they can handle the crowds, they say. Lebanon wanted a regional for )fs now gym, and didn’t get it. Washington and Vincennes were left out in the cold and must go to Sullivan for the regional. And there are many other squawks. So Mr. Trester won’t need a publicity agent now. The open season on Trester ia on—long live the “czar.” tt tt tt Mr. Robert Stranahan of Newcastle takes his pencil in hand and figures that Leroy Edwards of Tech is quite a red hot basketball player. Edwards Is leading the conference scorers in average points per games with 46 points in five games, a 9.1 average. Kessler, Anderson’s chief disturber of the draperies, tops the league in points with 75 points in ten games. Although Newcastle leads the conference, not one of the Trojans ranks among the first ten. There’s a reason. In six conference games, the Trojans have held their opponents to an average of fifteen points each game. n tt tt ONE of the Jeffersonville high school boys, so it is said, asked the Jeffersonville editor why Jeffersonville victories received ordinary headings, and the defeats were called to the public’s attention by his big black headlines. To which the Jeffersonville editor replied: “When the Demons win, that isn’t news. But when they lose, that’s news, boy, that’s news.” Get out the 96-point type, Mr. Editor, Columbus is coming to Jeffersonville Saturday. tt * tt Says Grady Bennett of the Bedford Mail: “And there’s the case of the woman who wanted to be a referee because she belonged to the fairer sex.” tt it tt Accounts of the Logansport-Hor-ace Mann game indicate that from Herron, the Berries are going to be tough Fomoff. it tt Dear Boxell—lt seems there always is plenty of material in your column concerning all city schools except Broad Ripple. I know the Ripple season schedule doesn’t look so impressive, but don’t forget them around tournament time. Do you happen to remember the Broad Ripple team that nearly upset shortridge in the sectional last year. Well, don’t forget our triple overtime with Southport on New Year's day. Yours till we win the city tournament. THE RIPLESS RIPPLER. Looks like I’m going to have a friend for some time, tt tt tt Dear Backboard—l am a Ben Davis student.

A strong claim to southern honors will be at stake tonight when Vincennes invades Columbus to play Frank Newsom's Bulldogs. On season’s records, the rivals appear evenly matched.

graces of the Cubs’ management had been a subject of speculation until he revealed today that he had been offered his old job. He and Hack Wilson, hard-hit-ting outfielder, shared interest last season as the “bad boys” of the team. It was an incident involving both Wilson and Malone that brought them suspension last season. Malone was accused of punching two sports writers. Malone also was accused of laxness in training, although he won sixteen games against nine defeats. Pat revealed recently that he has been in intensive training and hopes to be in top form when the season opens.

And Eleanor, the Loyal Technite, blues her thanks to Beau Hunk and then gets all steamed up about the city tournament. "Washington is all pepped up and I believe the Continentals will take the Blue Devils. But then the Campbells come, and it’ll be just too bad,” says she. "And I do not need regrets from Lefty and His Pal of Washington You can send ’em to the Lil, though, and add mine too.” tt tt tt Ole’ Backboard—Twenty wor’v no more, no less.

Shortridge’s chances in the city tourney are slim, if you ask me—and even if you don’t ask me. Washington may offer some real competition, but I doubt it. If any citv team can beat Tech, I’ll take my hat off to them. They’ll have to prove it. though. My big five—Tech. Muncie. Alexandria. Newcastle and Columbus.

That Muncie game puffed them up and they lost ot Martinsville. I wish the bovs would read all the slams and let the laurels take care of themselves! And there is more than one “Eleanor” at Tech.

Turf Coup Cleans Up New Orleans Track Not to ‘lnvestigate Thursday’s Betting Orgy. By United Press NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 22.—Unless information is provided that an employe of Jefferson park race track or a member of the mutue: department there was implicated m the betting coup in the first race at the track Thursday, the affair Is closed, T. C. Bradley, steward, said today. Bradley maintained the race was run fairly and squarely, and therefore, it was not within the rights of the stewards of the track to investigate the matter. It seemed a sinister coincidence, to officials, that this same 7-year-old mare. Charm, figured a few years ago in a similar “killing,” allegedly carried out by A1 Capone and his associates, when the horse paid a 60 to 1 price after winning a race at the Fairgrounds here. Charm, racing in the name of C. S. Stubbs, Capone’s former turf trainer, paid $19.60 for a $2 ticket Thursday, after winning the sixfurlong sprint in a field of twelve starters. The price had been manipulated. Charm was held at odds of 1 to 2 until post time. Then some $6,000 was wagered on other horses in the field, "building up” Charm’s price to 7 to 2 when the barrier was sprung. The entire pool on the race was $15,878, anew record for this season’s meeting. Track officials estimated that more than $6,000 was bet on other horses just before the first race started. Most of it was received in cash through the windows, and a small amount by wire.
