Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—Like the Pallisades and radio gags. Waite- Johnson, the old pitcher, doesn't change much. I mean it’s Just as hard to get him to talk about himself now that he has become a bench-warming manager with Washington as it was when he was out there on the hill buzzing ’em past the hitters. I Anally persuaded him to talk about speed pitching—as It was back In his days and as Tt is today. What I really wanted to know was how he ranked Lefty prove with Walter Johnson but. as I say. trying to get this gentleman to talk about" Himself is not a very simple task. In his day. Johnson was easily one of the greatest speed ball pitchers In the same. If not the greatest. Grove has since ascended to this distinction. Whether Johnson was faster, and If so. Just how much faster, is one of those questions the boys in the back room like to gnaw on.

DISCUSSING Grove, Johnson made an interesting observation, the implication of which was that the angular Philadelphian is not the type of speed ball pitcher who will last a long time. "Grove throws his speed ball right flown the middle.” says Johnson. "It floesn t make much dillerence where he throws It now because of the tremendous speed he employs. You can't hit what you can’t see and there are days when Grove’s speed Is almost blinding. ‘But speed Is something that stays with you lust so long. The older Grove gets tha lass speed he will have, and naturally It is going to be easier to hit hm. It s rolng to be doubly easy to hit him because of hts habit of throwing the pall down the middle, or always giving the hitter a good ball. “One reason Grover Alexander lasted so long was that, he kept his speed ball down around the batter’s knees. He had what Is known as a low fast ball. When Alex had all his speed it was practically Impossible to hit this low pitch. Even w'hen most of his speed was gone it was Htlll a puzzling thing." Johnson didn't say so but one of the *£-’H ns J a - St(, d so Idhg was that he threw a high speed ball. Like Alexander, he studiously kept it out .of the hitter’s natural swinging arc, and up to the last of nls cafeer the big fellow’s nißn nara one commanded wholesome respect. i.", d oll ' l let anybody tell you Grove * great pitcher,” added Johnson, fact that he Is always throwing the ball down the middle is just another tribute to his greatness.- He Is putting •he ball right in the slot and still they can t hit him. I wish I had his arm/’ a tt I wish I had his arm’’—did you ever think you would live to hear Walter Johnson say that about another pitcher?— as incredible as if Rockefeller had dough ” w * had Ofle-Eycd Connolly’s MILLER SIIOOT VICTOR Breaking 48 out of fifty targets, Miller triumphed in the singles event at Crooked Creek Gun Club Tuesday. Benefiel was second with 46. Tony and Miller each broke 22 out of 24 to tie in the doubles event.

Off The Backboard by vern BOXELI

IN less t an a month, Mr. Ihsaa’s youngsters will be out there playing for keeps. Which means that your correspondent is due to lose some sleep for the next two weeks. As if it mattered to Mr. Ihsaa, or any of his pals, ole Backboard is going to get the Hoosier lads and lassies all prepared by najning his 1932 champion on Feb. 15. If it had to be done today, about the only thing your correspondent could do would be to deplore the awful muddle, and let it go at that. But many things can happen in two weeks. Maybe they will. Backboard picked Muncic in 1931. Muncie won. Backboard is picking aw, wait a few days, won’t you?

Over around Greenshurg way, (hey are beginning; to worry about Mr. Walt Floyd’s St. I’aul outlit. The proteges of the former Manual and Butler star won the Decatur county tourney last week. St. Paul set some kind of a record in the final game with Westport, which the Fioyd bov. won in a walk. 46 to f). In the first few minutes of play, St. Paul took six shots and made one-half dozen field goals. Even in Newcastle they would say that was very good.

Tom Galbraith, Burney high school forward. i.s one chap who will never take up roller skate oasketball. Alter the aloremrntioncd county tournament, in which Burney tool; a neat schellacking. Galbraith leit a bit disgusted with lite and ran into the shower room. The floor was wet.

There is no excuse for Tech losing bv such a margin to anv team—even Newcastle. Besides “never make excuses.

CITY PREP QUINTETS FACE HARD TEN-GAME CARD

6 Tilts on Home Bill Shortridge, Cathedral and Tech Face Two Strong Foes. A ten- game card, featured by six home tussles on Saturday night, faces city prep hardwood warriors this week-end. Four battles are on Friday’s bill, but only one is listed for local action. Shortridge, Tech and Cathedral face strenuous tests, meeting two foes each. Kenny Peterman’s Blue Devils get into action at Crawfordsville Friday against the strong Athenians, an under-rated five which held Greencastle to a one-point decision last week. On Saturday, the north siders face an easier assignment, the Rushville Lions, here.

Irish Quintet Busy Three Shortridge stars, Brafford, DeWees and Blackwell, were reported temporarily out of action due to bad colds. Cathedral’s first test will be with - Garfield at Terre Haute., On Saturday, Joe Dienhart’s Irish pastimers return to take on a state Catholic title rival, Central Catholic of Ft. Wayne, here. Tech’s tall tossers oppose a pair 'of strong outfits. Tim Campbell’s five invades Franklin Friday to take on Fuzzy Vandiver’s speedy squad, and on Saturday the eastsiders return to the home gym for the annual fray with Frankfort’s Hot Dogs, again rated one of Hoosierlond’s best prep teams. Manual Faces Purple Another Saturday feature will find Manual’s improved quintet at west side court for a rivalry battle with Washington’s strong Continentals. Park school faces a double assignment, w’ith Oaklandon here Friday and Westfield here Saturday. Coach Lou Reichel has shifted his lineup. Brownsburg will oppose Broad Ripple at Hoosier Athletic Club here Saturday in another promising fray.

still had enough left over to hold Shelbvville to a three-point decision the next night. On the other hand. Tech played Newcastle for thirty-two minutes, acauiring one field goal, and then, after such strenuous effort, lost to Connersville the next night. Perhaps Tech was worn out from its efforts at Newcastle. If they are exhausted making one field goal and are considered championship material, all the tournament scores will have to be Tech. 2: opponents. 1. Scribes who consider Tech the cream of Indianapolis ball clubs remind me of what the old maid said when she kissed the cow. “Everyone to his own taste.’’ At the nresent. you can look for rne of the following to win the state: Newcastle Anderson (mv choice*. Muncie. Frankfort. Alexandria. Shortridge. Shelbvville. ~onnersville, Vincennes and La Porte. EDDIE. I’ve seen some attractive cows in my day.

Dear Boxell—Well, since Tech seems to be our next state champions, there hardlv is anv use of the rest of us even hoping. Nevertheless. I still Dick Southport to win the meal sectional and Newcastle to be in the final game the night of March 19. Just to be optimistic. I believe in the following big six—Newxaslle. Columbus. Vincennes. Martinsville, Jefferson of Lafayette and Southport. GUM DROP SUE. Did vou ever hear of Anderson? Or Frankfort? Or Muncic? tt tt tt Dear Backboard—So vou think Shortridge is coming out of its slump? Well, vou took the words right out of mv mouth. But I cold vou so. I said Shortridge ■ ould snap out of it and Tech would fade from the picture. Well, it’s turned out that wav. hasn't it. Anv team that can 'core onlv eight points against Newcastle isn’t so hct. Shortridge is iust eetting started. Watch 'em pound down the home stretch. I predict an undefeated record for the rest of the Blue Devils’ season and that Tech wxn't win half its remaining games. SHORTRIDGE LTL.

liy United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 3.—Opponents are hard to find in the middle west to meet Jack Dempsey in his second exhibition tour beginning at Milwaukee Monday night.

On the basis of $5,000 for four rounds, Levinsky would get $1,250 per round, $416.67 per minute and $6.94 per second, a higher rate than he ever received before. Levinsky

Sled Run Is Suicide Dash By Times Special LAKE PLACID, N.

Contestants believe the run is the fastest ever constructed and Olympic officials are fearful of the consequences. The mile and a half event was won at the last Olympiad in 2:21, while the same distance here has been negotiated in 1:52. Arthur Adams, brakeman on the Lake Placid Club team, said he lost consciousness twice momentarily the other day while taking two of the “dead man” bends.

—Stove League Chatter—- - BY EDDIE ASH

YOU are not likely to hear much about the salaries paid the Philadelphia Athletics this year. Papa Connie Mack is believed to have made several drastic reductions, but advised the players to keep the subject of money matters to themselves and they would be better off. Joe Boley, veteran shortstop, made the only public squawk regarding a cut in pay and not many hours after his broadcast it was announced he had been sold to Cleveland. They don’t tarry long under the Mackmen banner when they disobey the kindly, ancient master. n a tt Boley is expected to help Cleveland at that, providing he is able to regain old form.
