Off The Backboard

BY VERN BOXELL " - VI7'ELL?" It is the Head Man ▼ ▼ speaking, and something just has been mentioned about the annual wrestling match—ole’ Backboard vs. the picking of Hoosierdom's next prep basketball champion. “Don't you think it's about time you were getting in shape for the big leap?” continues the H. M. “Huh. this is leap year, isn't it?” queries your correspondent, dodging the phone book, shears, and paste pot. ‘Smart guy, huh? All right, let's see a list of teams who might -vin this shindig in March.” It's the H M. again. Intermission while Backboard scratches head, spits through teeth and jots down some funny figures. Came the dawn —also the “might be's.” Here they arc: Tr 'h Shelbyvlll* Muncie Grcencutle N Brasil* Wathiiigtnn (East AnJrrson Chicago).

Boh Stranahan s wants ’em called Hammond Eggs. tt a a IT is unfortunate for Tech that Newcastle played humpty-dump-ty to Anderson last Friday night. It probably will cause Mr. Orville Hooker’s Trojans to be tougher. Whether that will be too tough will be disclosed by Operative 38 later in the week, after a thorough investigation out on the east side. Just off hand, I am not sure that Newcastle has what it takes to beat Mr. Tim Campbell’s boys. They haven’t the size, and when the local big boys get their bread hooks on that ball, it’s mighty hard to take it away from them. On the other hand, Newcastle has the kind of speed that may have the east siders falling over backward trying to keep up with the Trojans. . , tt tt tt It very possible the Tecbites will be up on top the North Central conference heap next Saturday morning. They’re tied with Newcastle there now. And If she Trojans should kick ’em down a step Friday night, they might (I said might) get back on even terms again Saturday, providing Anderson can repeat over the Trojans at Anderson. a a tt And Garrott, Frankfort center, gets Backboard s vote lor the outstanding perlorinancc of the week. He collected tnree .u “ goals anti two free throws when the Hot Dogs beat Muncle. All of the Held goals and one of the free throws came in the last quarter, when Frankfort needed points. And the last two-pointer scoted in the last few seconds of play with the Dogs one point behind. The score was 20 to 11), Frankfort. St U tt Mr. Norman Werry, dribbler of Duneland. opines that Mr. Frank Cash has been playing possum with his Washington 'Fast emcago) cnio. ••They're about to step up ana make themselves known as northern Indiana's best," worries Werry As an alter thought, ole' Backboard is of the opinion tiiat Muncie is not as low as printed, and that .they aren’t so green out at Tech. tt tt And .Southport beat Seymour Saturday, 27 to 22. That’s five points better than Shortridge could do. • Waddell,’’ say the Perry township boys.

DEMPSEY TO MEET SCHMELING-SHARKEY WINNER

‘Man-Mauler’ Wants September Title Go New York or Chicago to Get Ring Classic; Ex-Champion to Resume Mid-Western Tour Soon After Recovering From Slight Illness on Coast. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Pre Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 26.—Jack Dempsey will meet the winner of the Max Schmeling-Jack Sharkey fight in New York or Chicago in September, according to plans revealed today by Leonard Sacks, Dempsey’s manager. “Dempsey may engage in a tune-up bout before meeting the winner of the Schmeling-Sharkey match.” said Sacks. “Os course, some unforeseen development might upset present plans but I believe Dempsey and the winner of the Schmeling-Sharkey bout will fight for the title in September. Dempsey purposely refrained from meeting either Sharkey or Schmeling, believing such a stand on his part would bring these two claimants to the title together. One or the other will be eliminated by their June bout and the winner against Dempsey will settle the heavyweight dispute ior the first time since Gene Tunney retired in 1928.”

If complications develop over New York or Chicago, as the site of a Dempsey bout, Sacks said Philadelphia and Detroit would be given consideration. The Chicago stadium, Madison Square Garden Corporation, or one O) several Individuals who have signified their willingness to bid for such a contest will promote the bout. “Dempsey will sign with the promoter whose terms and conditions are the most satisfactory,” said Sacks. "Joe Jacobs has assured me he had not given the Garden an option oi. Schmeling’s services after the Sharkey bout sc the contest will be open to all bidders. I think it is the only possible bout with a chance to draw a million dollars.” Recovering rapidly from a brief illness Dempsey who is now in Sacramento, Cal., will leave for the middle west Feb. 2 to begin his second exhibition tour A cold which he contracted in Reno caused Dempsey to rearrange his exhibition schedule, which will end April 1.

Le Roy Edwards ONE of Hoosierdom’s outstanding prep centers will hook up with one of the state’s best guards when Tech and Newcastle collide at Rose City Friday night.

—Stove League Chatter — BY EDDIE ASH

CHARLIE WOOD, young Pittsburgh southpaw, is undecided about playing ball this year under the terms offered by the Pirates, he says. According to Charlie, he has found a lucrative position in Wichita, Kan., and is quite pained by the cut in salary proposed by the Bucs. He married last fall and naturally is embarrassed by the reduction in wages. Anyway, says Charlie, he weighs around 170 and is in fine shape. The former collegian won two games and lost six last year and that record leaves him with a weak argument during a salary controversy. tt tt tt Wood gained fame by making a sensational debut in the late in the season of 1930, pitching 21 consecutive innings without being scored against. On his first appearance with the Pirates he lost to Brooklyn, 7 to 5, but helh the Dodgers without a run the last three innings. Then followed nine-inning shutouts over Boston and Cincinnati each tilt ending 5 to 0. Wood established a spectacular record with Wichita in the Western League before joining Pittsburgh. The youthful lefty entered league ball before finishing college. He was engaged in a card game one Sabbath and a campus snooper turned him in, resulting in banishment for the young athlete. tt tt tt Stanley Harris, manager of the Detroit Tigers, is through as a player owing to bad legs. He was a splendid second sacker when at the peak of his career and helped win two pennants and a world’s series at Washington. Harris blames basketball for slowing him up on the diamond. He was a pro net performer and in addition to the cage sport being rough, the hard courts play havoc on the underpinning of the participants. The net boys don’t have the cushioned going like the ball tossers and they get many a bark on the shins. Moreover, when Harris went to Detroit from Washington he found Charlie Gehringer holding down the keystone. and Charlie covers wide territory. tt tt tt IT is said Adolfo Luque, Cuban hurler, may return to the American Association, where he used to shine for Louisville. He was released outright by Brooklyn the other day. Luque was born in Havana in 1890, and his best year in the majors was with Cincinnati in 1923, when he won twenty-seven games and lost only eight. He was with the Reds twelve years. Previous to joining Louisville, Luque saw service with the Boston Braves, Jersey City and Toronto. The veteran slipped in 1931. He was credit--led with seven wins and charged with six losses, but was able to complete only five games. n tt n The major league batting average of Hack Wilson over a stretch of years, in- | eluding action with the New York Giants before becoming a member of the Chicago Cubs after being optioned to Toledo, figures .315. Last year’s low mark of .26(1 cut down his "all” record, but .315 is not to be sneezed at. Hack joined the Giants in the spring of 1923, and impressed John McGraw by his aggressive style and punch. Through an oversight, the little round man was lost to the Cubs, who drafted him from Toledo. He has participated in 1,019 big league games. tt tt tt Wilson is : slated to play center field at Brooklyn, with Lefty O’Doul in left and Babe Herman in right. Johnny Frederick regular Dodger middle gardener, hits lefthanded. and for that reason the righthanded swinging Hacker will have an excellent chance of taking over the post at once. O'Doul and Herman bat left-handed. If Hack is successful in staging a comeback during spring training he'll go big as a gate attraction when the Dodgers re-

turn home to battle Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and other Yankees in the threegame series April 8, 9 and 10, just before the regular season opens. Brooklyn officials are confident they will make up a large part of Wilson’s purchase price by the ballyhoo the pudgy fly chaser is almost certain to stir up. tt tt tt According to Chicago baseball scribes, Brooklyn’s deep fences in left field and center won’t cut much figure in handicapping his home run hitting if he regains his swatting eye. They have statistics to show that Hack, though a righthanded hitter, shoots most ox his long drives to right field. The right field wall in Flatbush is only 296 feet from home plate while at Cubs’ park it is 321 feet. Left field fence at Brooklyn is 382 feet as compared to 364 feet at Chicago.

Wrigley’s Venture in Majors Put Cub Team Back on Baseball Map

Departed Magnate’s Club; Reigned Popular and Prosperous. By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 26 News of the death of William Wrigley Jr., in Phoenix, Ariz., today came as a shock in Chicago, where he had won the admiration of thousands by his devotion to his home city, even to spending hundreds of thousands in an effort to realize his ambition—win the world's • baseball championship with his Chicago Cubs. The chewing gum magnate and popular baseball leader was a generous giver to philanthropic enterprises. Last year he turned over a business building to the needy. He was 70 years old and had spent most of the winter at Catalina island, California, which he owned and where his Chicago baseball team performs during spring training. The Los Angeles Coast League club also belonged to Wrigley. He bought the Cubs in 1916. Cub Team Popular Successful as a merchant over a long span of years, Wrigley made baseball his hobby in late life. He established the Chicago Cubs as one of the most successful baseball teams, financially, in the country, setting record after record for attendance. When the physical condition of the Cubs’ owner demanded it this winter, he went to Phoenix, where he had established a winter home, eight miles from the city. There were few public indications, however, that his condition was serious. His son, Philip K. Wrigley, and others of the family had joined him, but not until today was it known he had been forced to his bed a week ago and has been in a serious condition. Burial at Catalina

Wrigley was the oldest of nine children. It was said today the body will be sent from Phoenix to Pasadena, Cal., where funeral services will bet held Wednesday or Thursday. Burial probably will be at Catalina Island, which Wrilgey purchased ten years ago. Wrigley was a director in half a dozen banks, was active in public utilities, steel and iron, and other businesses, and was a director of the field museum of natural history. Wrigley was a staunch supporter of free days for women fans at his parks in Chicago and Los Angeles. So great was the popularity of “ladies’ day” at Wrigley field, Chicago, that the club officials were compelled to issue courtesy tickets in advance and to limit the number to avoid overflow attendance. Irish, Blue Fives Drill City prep rivals of long standing will renew their rivalry on the hardwood Friday in one of the feature net tussles of the season. Kenny Peterman’s Shortridge snipers tackle Joe Dienhart’s Cathedral quintet at Butler fieldhouse Friday night. Although Shortridge is handicapped by the temporary loss of Seward, center, out with a cold, and Captain Brafford, star guard who is recovering from a hip injury, the Blue Devils hope to be in shape to turn in the first Shortridge cag victory over the Irish. Both teams are hard at work for the tussle.
