Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, April 1. —As Peggy Joyce so admirably put It* 'There is always the mall ’ . . . apd so: Edward Shenker writes in to ask ■what would happen if a wrestler and a boxer met. It all depends. Suppose Londos the sublimated actor met Camera the you-name-it? There’s no telling what might happen. Possibly the- boys would wind up making mud pics or playing house. But Just for the sake of argument—oon t you just love arguments, Mrs. Mulligan?—we shall take a hypothetically honest wrestler and an equally hypothetically honest prise fighter, provided this isn't overdoing the thing, and try to picture tlm in action. . Bach is using his own Implements and technic. All right, the prise fighter belts I™ wrestler and the wrestler goes down. You can’t count over him because it's okay for a wrestler to drop to the mat any time he wants to. And if the Pfjae fighter stoops over to take another nt the wrestler he is disqualified, because that’s a breach of the boxing code. ■0 you see, on the face of it, such a contest Is impossible. What might happen If the hoys ignored all rules is something else again. In these circumstances, I Wn pretty sure a Schmeling would stop a Londos in Jig time. (By the way what is the A. A. if. record for Jigging?) All wrestlers are muscle bound and therefoie *iow. Being muscle bound they can not hit and being glow they can not step around or evade blows. Frank Gotch, greatest of American wrestlers, decided to go after the boxing championship after Jim Jeffries retired! u® trained a long time and made his start in Alaska. An old timer named Frank Slavln knocked him squirming. Gotch could take all sorts of punishment the mat but, one brisk tap on the cnin sent him into a swoon. u u tt G. G. writes: "One reads that Babe Ruth earns his $75,000 primarily as a slugger; that A1 Simmons and Lou Gehrig are of great value mainly because of their offensive powers. The big batters get the big dough—they fill the cash tills. Logically, therefore, Grove, Earnshaw and Gomez should not be paid any salary whatever. Their endeavors are to prevent the hitting which attracts the gate money. They are destructive forces. It is the rookie pitcher and the has-been wlio are entitled to rich contracts. They collaborate with the sluggers, swell the home run totals and indirectly lure the customers.” isfT h6 ri?h I Jr 0l ?h ma8I }v ts ’ , being materially. th ?" theorists, interpreted rainn l r rae 'n, h .l, Ught ft . more practical TJ? ey , madc the bal * lively. 2& T £. ned fences and eliminated the Apitter and other trick deliveries, it was rnaki7 U a C ni *Jv. a ,, rlsk u ,0 an d on the IOOKie ana the has been. ,4®; Minkin writes: Speaking of old and Particularly of Napoleon f, Iy?u 1 y ?u hap , per ! to know that he is probably the only ball player ever to re^H ean *PP ralsal from a Judicial body -and from none other than the highest court of justice in Pennsylvania in fact?

OWNER PERRY COMPLETES DEAL FOR SAMMY HALE

Slugging Veteran Third Baseman Batted .323 on Coast Last Season

Right-Handed Hitter Is Obtained From Knoxville After Reporting There Recently From Portland: Formerly Pastimed in Majors With Athletics and Browns. BY EDDIE ASH Time* Sport* Editor Owner Norman A. Perry of the# Indians completed a deal today with Knoxville of the Southern Association for Sammy Hale, veteran third sacker, and the player will join Emmet McCann’s Tribesmen at once. Hale was a famous guardian of the hot comer for Connie Mack’s Athletics at one time and performed later with the St. Louis Browns. He is

36 years old, but age apparently has not dimmed his batting eye to a great extent. Sammy clubbed the sphere for an average of .323 with Portland of the Pacific Coast League last year, participating in 133 games and was at bat 555 times, with the majority of games being played under the lights at night. Owner Perry said the Hale transaction is an outright purchase and that the veteran was obtained to reinforce the Tribe infield since the release of Elmer Yoter, who broke his left leg last season. A berth as manager of Danville of the Three-I League was landed for Yoter before the Indians left Florida. When Hale broke into the majors he was greeted as a $75,000 purchase from Portland. He bats righthanded and is personally acquainted with Manager Emmet McCann. The Tribe chief believes Sammy will be a valuable addition and will give full protection to the third sack. Johnny Kroner, the rookie, has been

Perry

displaying splendid form this spring, but it is the opinion of the club bosses that Hale will outbat the rangy lad from Oklahoma City.

Hale was purchased from Portland by Knoxville a couple of weeks ago and only recently reported at the Smokies’ camp. It is said Bob Allen, Knoxville president, found himself with an abundance of infielders and also with Howard Freigau showing grand spring style at third. Allen Gives Tribe Lift Moreover, Alien is friendly with the Indianapolis club and grasped the opportunity to help Norman Perry. The Indians have sent six players to Knoxville since last year and it is reported Allen has placed a bid for one or two others. With Portland in 1931 Hale compiled 179 hits in 133 games, including thirty-five doubles, five triples and two home runs. He batted in eighty runs, scored ninetyfive, stole seven bases and sacrificed nineteen times. He will be compelled to hustle to reach form before the A. A. season opens and much will depend on the weather. Veterans need a lot of sunshine. Trick April Snow April showers bring May flowers, but what does April snow bring? It brings heartaches to baseball club owners and managers, and aching arms to the ball tossers. The Tribesmen took their first home workout Thursday at Perry stadium and were scheduled for two drills today, at 10 a. m. and 1:30, but when the athletes climbed out of bed this morning they were shocked to see white flakes covering the ground. It is a tough break for the boys, just recent arrivals from sunny Florida. The pastimers were forced to take their morning workout today in the Butler university gym, but the boys returned to Parry stadium this afternoon. The first home exhibition tilt is scheduled for Saturday with the Toronto Internationals at 2:30. Every effort will be made to stage the contest. Toronto will invade Indianapolis for three tilts. Saturday. Sunday and Monday. All action will begin at 2:30.
