Talking It Over

Bl JOE WILLIAMS

Lake PLACID, N. y., Feb. 4. Up here in the rolling hills of the Adirondacks, where a roaring blizzard and a blinding snow storm stir the natives to strange ecstacy, the third winter Olympics began today. ..Bertde* the formalities, which Included appearance of Governor !!Ji D ' Roo s fve L t ln a non-partisian a JI d a Parade of more than 350 ath- £‘ e * r * Dre i* nt ‘ n " seventeen nations, the P.r° R ram offered st>eed racing. hockev battles and curline. PPrresbondent has witnessed speed Jkatln* and hockev with pleasant lnr.eJ?uenfy but to him curlimr is somethtnu .. At first blush his assumption was tnat it had to do with finger waving, wind Pi°J™ £>bs and marcelling, with Charles of th# Rltz In charge. < ’ c Xf loos that thls is entirely correct. From what I can learn it is ft 01 * V P a hair raising snort. Broadly, it consists of spinning weighty objects, rearmblln* stone tea kettles, from one end or a rink to the other, the goal being a circle and the object markmanship. Still, there does not seem to be any great national feeling about curling. Talking . w L th *p v colleagues I can not even learn who the American offenders are. if any. Overshadowing all others in interest here are the bob sleddcrs. These are the felJov.s who sit on a long board with steel runners and go whizzing down an lev shute with trlckv curves at seventy .‘ailes an hour. It obviously is a very dangerous pastime. A number of Germans and Swiascs are lvmg around ln the local hospitals fighting for their lives as a result of slight miscalculations at the turns. You can imagine what a slight miscalculation cn an U 7„ tur .F at terrific speed can do for you. wen. it can do you no good. u a

THE situation has produced a grim form of diversion. Spectators gather at the dangerous curves throughout the day to catch a glimpse of the bodies as they go flying out into space, like giant birds of the air with clipped wings. It is always an even money bet that one of the sleds will leave the runway and flutter off in the moist direction of Canada. , Just a miracle that nobody has been K'lled. . Grieves Mr. Ed Thorp, the football referee. _‘‘G*ye ,’ ctn tlme ” adds t he hopeful Mr. E“I Taylor, veteran skating star. Your correspondent who is a sportsman of the first water, beine: a descendant of Columbus, regrets to report that these morbid circumstances have contributed more to nubile Interest ln the goings-on here than any other visible factor. The mere possibility that one of the bob sledders may come shooting out of the runway, high into the refrigerated air. with the comforting choice of ’anding head foremost on a stone bowlder or a fallen pine tree 150 feet below, has agitated the box office sales to a point of enthusiastic briskness If it were not for the bobrun—the first to be built In America, and the only one ln the country 1 am afraid that earlier reports that the Lake Placid adventure would he a total flop could not heir) but materialize As it is now each incoming train is more than reasonably well filled, and the little ice-bound village is pretty well Jammed with curious idlers, where two days ago It was virtually deserted. * u BOBBING is a comparatively new competitive sport, like camelot, marriage tipping and unofficial Far East wars. Yet I am told America has the best teams, and that one of them is a cake walk to win—an ice-cake walk, to be seasonable. The Red Devils of Saranac, stand out as the odds-on favorite. The team is made un of natives indigenous to the Adirondacks. none of whom had ever seen a bobsled until the mile and a half run here, cut ribbon-like into the face of a forbidding looking hill called Mt. Hovenberg. was built. The four members of the team are Hank Homberger. a civil engineer. Percy Brant, a garage workers. Paul Stevens, a man about town, who boxes with his own black bear for amusement and Ed Horton, the town florist, whose daily display of lilies, considering the many accidents to date, might suggest that his interest in the sport Is less sporting than commercial. "It Just looked as if it might oe fun. so we got a bob and went at it.” explains Mr Stevens who appears to be the head man. The Red Devils, in preliminary trials, have already eoualled the world record for the distance of one and n nail miles, which is 1 minute and 52 seconds.

Off The Backboard

Mr. E. I. HIGGS is a busy fellow. In addition to hammering out “Sidelights” every day down at Connersville, Ee-Eye is president of the Indiana Sports Writers Association. Higgs has taken time out to do some arithmetic work, and here you have the results of his efforts. I am sending just one correction to Ee-Eye. He has forgotten a couple of good ball clubs that belong in this list. One is Southport, with eighteen victories in nineteen starts. The other is the local Washington outfit, with ten out of thirteen. If you don’ think they’re tough, Ee-Eye, ask Mr. Tim Campbell -and Mr. Kenny Peterman. Are they worried? This cost me a dollar. You get it for 2 cents.

punched, have done some punching themselves, and have refereed some slugfests. One story led to another, and then Tim brings up a certain referee who still is rated one of the state’s best. It happened at Richmond several years ago. During the heat of battle—l think it was Richmond and Shelbyville— some big Richmond fan spoke out of turn. So the aforementioned anonymous referee steps over and pops the big bozo on the whiskers. That’s all until the game is over. .When Mr Referee returns to the dressing room, up steps the big guy. puls back his coat and displays a deputy sheriff badge. And what a lot of talking it took on the part of Mr. Referee and several others to keep John Law from tossing the whistle tooter in the hoosegow.

Dempsey has received 50 per cent of the receipts for all his appearances, but he had to cut his end to allow the Chicago stadium to meet Levinsky’s demands. Dempsey is the drawing card, but Levinsky’s handlers dictated terms as if Levinsky was the big attraction.” Levinsky has been guaranteed $7,500 with a privilege of 15 per cent of the gate receipts. Matchmaker Nate Lewis predicted today the Dempsey-Levinsky bout would sell out the stadium, attracting about 21,000 persons and about $55,000.

Hot Feet By United Press LONDON, Feb. 4.—Jack London, a Negro jazz pianist, is training hard for the Los Angeles Olympic games in August. Jack is a sprinter. He discovered tha,t when another man missed a train. In 1925 he was representing London university against Bedfordshire in the high jump. His team’s crack sprinter missed the train, so Jack substituted and astonished every one by winning the 100 yards in 10 seconds on grass. After that he concentrated on running. He was runnerup in the Olympic 100-meters at Amsterdam in 1928, and was England’s 100-yard champion in 1929. Leading his own jazz band, London now is appearing as pianist in the cabaret scene of Noel Coward’s “Cavalcade” at Drury Lane theater.

Stove League Chatter

WHEN Gabby Hartnett, Chicago Cubs’ catcher, last summer posed for a picture with A1 Capone, showing Gabby and A1 smiling broadly, the National League magnates decided to issue more orders. Capone occupied a front box at Wrigley field the day Hartnett walked up, conversed, and put on the big handshake as cameras clicked. Hereafter players won’t be permitted to p<sse or chat with the Customers unless they desire to donate a fine to the league treasury. This rule was in effect last year, but no fine was attached, except in the American League, where several pastimers were nicked for a nominal sum for hobnoh’-’ng with fans during playing hours. The Cubs are gambling heavily on two rookies this year, 550,000 apiece for Bill Herman, second sacker from Louisville, and Stanley Hack, third sacker from Sacramento. One hundred grand is a lot of currency to have invested in a pair of kids, both young and short of experience In league baseball. However, they were phenoms in their respective leagues and the Cubs were compelled to bid against other major clubs. Herman played in twenty-five games with the Cubs last fall, hit .327 and delivered in the field. Johnny Corriden, Indianapolis, scout and coach with the Cubs, recommended both players. Hack Wilson, the roundhouse fly chaser, cost Brooklyn plenty of toadskins when purchased from the Cardinals and all Flatbush is singing the praises of the former National League home run king and the fans there are pulling for him to stage a comeback. Hack nearly landed with the Dodgers in 1925 for the waiver price—a small sum compared with the amount given for him recently. At that time Wilson was with Toledo and Wilbert Robinson, then manager of Brooklyn, put in a draft for him. The Cubs also applied and were awarded the player under baseball law gives first pick to the team lowest in the race. It just happened the Cubs nosed out the Dodgers for last place that season by a half a game. One-half of one game doesn’t mean a thing in the standing among tail-end teams, but it was of vast importance that year to Bruins and Dodgers.

BY EDDIE ASH

EDDIE FARRELL, the dentist, hopes to give John McGraw the toothache this year by staging a big league comeback with the rival New York Yankees, who brought him back to the majors from Los Angeles, where he batted .326 last year and was prominent in distance hitting. Farrell left college to join McGraw’s Giants in 1926 and the next year, while Eddie was hitting ,387, McGraw used him in a trade and sent him to the Boston Braves. It was a blow to Eddie and damaged his pepper. He was back with the Giants in 1929, and later with Cardinals and Cubs, but failed to regain form until his minor league venture in 1931.
