TALKING IT OVER BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. April 30.—At firsts I wouldn't believe it. I mean that the immoral shadow of commercialism had fallen across the virginal bosom of ping pong. But it seems to be true. The usually alert metropolitan reporters made no note of the fact, but Mr. Marcus Shussheim. the national champion, did not defend his title in the recent tournament at the Waldorf-Astoria, which, in consequence, went to a gentleman from Chicago, one Mr., Coleman Clark. Now you c*n not be the ttonal chat;ip:on ot oing pona Utllex* you oeat otir sr. tjhutsrtrim who. uke A1 Smith. Little Autie ana Timmmy Young. 1* a proauct ol tn aide walks of New Yorx When It come* to | this urtK. primitive. *oul-tetmg aport or ping pons, our Mr. Shussheim has got what it takes. . . So at best. Mr Clark Is merely a chance . champion—something like Hack the > car he made more hgm* run* than Bibe HuUi. I hev called Hack the k.nr bur ever, hr best friends wouldn t believe It WelL why wasn't our Mr Shuasheim in the championship—why •**“* there in all his regai splendor, batting the little white celluloid balls hither and von. . * mars ol aomtration. at one ana tne same Yea. why wasn't he’ It's a aad tale, nia'e? a very, very sad tale indeed. Our Mr. Shussheim Is hot the artist a', heart , we took him to b Art for arts sake Is not his credo When you mention art it appear, he is disposed to ask wnai aoout Marcus?" . ~ I have seen some letters which our Mr Shussneim wrote to the tournament prorooters in which be suggested that his participation in the chainplor-ahlp was of sufficient box offee importance to warraitt the pavmenl of certain gratuities. Ns- | rurally this was very shocking to the pro- j moters :ince ping pong is ; veur sport devised primarily to ! and happlres into the nomes of the taxpavers, and to them any hint of sordid i commereislism is vicious, ungodly and Just Via.n awful. a a a OF course it is true that the promoters of the championship j are also in the business of selling ping pong tables, balls and bats, and that the material purpose of holding the championship is to enlist new converts and stimulate new business. But this is a phase of sport that the clean of mind and the pure of! hear*, instinctively close their eyes to and just naturally ignore. I don't k. low what our Mr. Shussheim was thinking of—mayoe he was thinking that inasmuch as the promoters were putting on a sales exhibition and that he was one of their most talented exhibits that he ought to get something more out of it than a silver cup and his name in the papers. * * * I guppose Well Street would call this being pracitcai. but after ail IB It the human tntng to do? Is It even cricket, as our rou ms the Bulgarians aav? Person-, aliv. 1 am deeply grieved. Our Mr. ShusBhclm is one of mv idols. In lyrical moments I often paraphrase the old song to , Shush Shine on Stlverv Moon." and all i the while the heroic outlines of my idol | dance rapturously before mv eves. I am Just a sucker for the big guvs of sport. Above all. I hate to see them go commercial on me. . . . , I lam ala loss to understand what polluted the golden soul of our Mr. onus- j shelm. Can it be that he has been run- j ning around with the track and neld , stars? It Is no secret land one of these davs Representative La Ouardla will find it outi tnat the track and field stars make the promoters pav and pay. They work on the theory that the promoters are in the business of selling *F? c>c and field themselves, no less-and they demand a price. What 1* more, quite a few ol them set tt. You don't tnlnk for a moment that Mr ! Paavo Nurmi would have tolerated all the ■ ugh charges that have been laid at his flying feet for manv years if he were m | a position to strike bsck do you? Or even kick back? On second thought kick i back is • loose pljrase. The boys are > ask-d to kick back onlv when the gate does not come up to expectations. It I appear to be making out a case for the p'ng pong promoters it is onlv beenuse the history of most sports Justifies their procedure Mv chief quarrel with the grntlemr.i including the ping pong people—is that they attempt to conceal their business aspirations under the veil of altruistic sports competitions, when as a matter of fact it is all a bald sales campaign ethical and legitimate enough.

Forty-one cars have been entered in the 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 30. Entries do not close until midnight May 2. and Speedway officials estimated today that a like number of entries will be received before deadline. Many drivers prefer to wait until the last moment, hoping to be the last car to enter, a superstitious tradition of racing. This year the entry fee was increased from SIOO to S2OO. Many hopefuls kept their barn built chariots at home. In other years, the entry fee was SIOO and the money was returned if the car started in the race. This year, however, the S2OO. which every entry must ante, remains in the pot to be divided among the drivers who do not finish among the first ten, in the important money.

MAD FRUMP ‘COMES HONESTLY’ BY BAD MANNERS

BY MAX RIDDLE (Coovrlght. 1932. NEA Service. Inc.l NEXT to the unbeaten Top Flight. C. V. •Sonny” Whitney's Mad Frump seems the best of the Whitney band of runners that will compete in the fifty-eighth Kentucky Derby. Mad Frump is a horse of undoubted quality, with a world of speed, notwithstanding the fact he won but three of nine efforts as a 2-year-old. Perhaps the main reason why Mad Frump was not greater as a juvenile was that his temper was not the best. In this respect he is a typical son of his father. Mad Hatter, who was noted for bad manners. Mad Hatter had a trick of quitting when you wanted him to run. and vice versa, but despite his faults won thirty-two races and close to *195,000. Before he was asked to run in a race Mad Frump had shown such high class speed he was put in the United States Hotel Stakes, at Saratoga, without a warmup race of any kind. He was placed in Number 12 stall and broke tenth. At the half he was still tenth, but he had moved up two places when • the field entered the stretch. He then gave a demonstration [

Tribe Seeks Catcher; Tom Angley Is Bait Playboy Backstop to Leave If Deal Is Arranged; Hoosiers Also in Market for New Center Fielder • to Replace Fitzgerald. By L nitrd Prtss MILWAUKEE, WU., April 30.—Purchase by Rum Young. St. Louis Brown*' catcher, by the Milwaukee Brewers was announced today. BY' EDDIE ASH Timex Soorts Editor MILWAUKEE. April 30 —While the Indians were steaming up today preparing to battle Frank O’Rourke's Brewers In the windup of the Milwaukee series, there were signs indicating that the Tribe- club officials are combing the country for anew catcher as well as an outfielder. Which means that Tom Angley, the playboy backstop, is through with Indianapolis. It is rumored he will be used in a deal of some sort that will bring to the Tribe a catcher in exchange, and as for the new fly chaser sought, there are several being bargained for. It is said Angley will be told at Indianapolis Monday that his services no longer are desired by the color bearers of Hoosierdom in the American Association. Playboy Tom was banished from the Thursday game in Milwaukee and suspended for five days by Thomas J. Hickey, president of the league, but disregarding that penalty, it seems that Angley's general conduct off the field has aroused the ill will of the club officials. He was sent to Indianapolis late Friday to await a conference with Owner Norman Perry- on Monday, and it is presumed he will be informed' at that time that his employment with the Indians has ended. The Angley trouble and the cen- ——

ter field problem form a dangerous combination for the Tribe chiefs to handle. Tom batted .375 last year and drove in 99 runs and Ray Fitzgerald hit .327 and batted in 100 runs. During the early games of the new season those two positions have fallen down on the attack and

We Started Something Just two years ago today—April 30, 1930 —we opened for business at our new location at 1121 N. Meridian. I guess “we started something” wh en we started all the things that made the new IndianaP possible. And Now — just as soon as our new station is complete, we will announce some things that will startle the motoring public, new and lower prices, contests of skill that will be of interest to the entire family, and again we promise to rock the foundation of the old conservative methods of our competitors. Watch our smoke. Wait for the big announcement. INDIANAP 1121 N. Meridian" Riley 2321
