|7' ARLY on the morning of May 2, 1890. two Negro pugs of some note fought a hotly contested battle in an ice house near the crossing of the Big Four railroad and the canal. According to the sports editor of the Sentinel, arrangements for the fight had been under way for a week, and Jack Collins’ saloon on the Michigan load had been selected as the place for the affair, but by the time the crowd had gathered a squad of police, under command of Captain Bruce, appeared. The apparently began to disappear and the police were unable to locate the principals. Just after midnight little knots of men began to move up the canal bank to the icehouse. The floor was covered with sawdust and ropes stretched about the large room. After the gasoline lamps had been lit and water secured the combatants stripped. They were George Jordan and Jack Moore. Seconds were chosen from among the friends of each and time was called at 12:40. They were in fine condition. In the first round there was not a blow struck, both men sparring cautiously. The second round was very quiet until Jordan landed a blow on Moore's neck that' staggered him. Fierce fighting marked the third round. Jordan landing a blow - that dropped Moore like a log. It seemed that Moore was knocked out, but he recovered and the fighting continued until nearly daylight, with Moore!

♦ Cruising in Sportland ♦ By EDDIE ASH

FOR a long stretch of years Coach Stagg's Chicago Maroons feasted on the Big Ten Twins of Hoosier - dom, Indiana and Purdue, and it wasn’t so long ago when that situation prevailed. Now, in his last year as football mentor at the Midway, his fortieth, the veteran is confronted with the problem of “fearing” both Hoosier elevens. They have galloped forward the past several years to the point where they overshadow their Windy City rivals and are picked to two-time Grandaddy Stagg again this season. Scores last fall were Indiana 32, Chicago 6; Purdue 14, Chicago 6. Indiana tackles the Maroons at Chicago this Saturday and the Boilermakers visit the Midway, Nov. 5. tt a tt The Purdue Boilermakers are in danger of the law of averages catching up with them for an upset. They have won two important Big Ten tilts against hardy foemen and have scored only fourteen points, seven in each game—touchdown and extra point. In the Wisconsin tilt the margin of victory was one marker. 7 to fi. The Kizer machine evidently has more defensive power than anybody figured before the start of the race. The Lafayette warriors have won nine consecutive games, without a tie. including last-year tilts, of course. However, among the boys who live by their wits trying to pick winners, Michigan has been installed as Big Ten favorite, the position occupied by Purdue before the campaign got under way.

( Northwestern fracas this week. More than one hunch has done a humpty-dumpty, however, and we think Purdue will uncover enough snappv new stuff to edge out the Wildcats. The Boilermakers were not at their best in the heat of last Saturday. tt tt a DON VELLER, former Bicknell flash, is the new Indiana university gridiron hero. The elusive sophomore has scored both of the Big Ten touchdowns registered by Billy Hayes' Crimson pastimers this year. Don showed his heels to Ohio State and lowa for long gallops. More oF the same, boy! He is a whizz in the open field and also can throw passes. Veller weighs 160 and stands 5 feet 7 inches. Aggressiveness and smart footwork make up for his shortage of stature and beef. u tt tt Following an interview with Norman Perry in Cincinnati recently, the Cincinnati Enquirer said the owner of the Indianapolis baseball club indicated he would be proud to “annex” the Cincy Reds if the Queen City franchise could be purchase* at his price. The Enquirer says, however, that at the present time it does not appear likely that Perry will have the opportunity to buy the Reds very soon. After tossing several bouquets at Perry over the apopiniment of- the experienced Wade Killefer as new manager of the Hoosier Indians, Jack Rider, Enquirer baseball expert, went on to say in part: "But the appointment of Killefer brings woe to another popular character, for it undoubtedly means that the connection of our old and valued friend. Jack Hendricks, with the Indianapolis club, will be severed. ... In the general reorganization which is taking place in the Indianapolis club, it is not thought that there will be any place for him.” tt tt a BRUCE CALDWELL, former Yale football hero and a professional baseball player since leaving the campus, tried to beat the' depression Sunday by going back to football as a professional gridder at Newark, and collapsed during the course of the game. Examination disclosed two broken ribs and a cracked collar bone, putting Caldwell on the athletic shelf until spring. From diamond to gridiron is a tough jump on short notice. a tt tt Many grid fans of the non-collegiate variety, with no particular interest in cither team, sent up a loud squawk after the Michigan-Ohio State game Saturday. They said Michigan practically quit trying to score after the first half and spent the rest of the afternoon seeing to it that Ohio State was kept way from the W'olverlne goal. In other words, after flashing over two touchdowns in the first half, Michigan appeared satisfied to hold back plays for another day, thereby giving the John Public cash customer just one-hats of action for his money. tt tt tt JIMMY CROWLEY, coach of the Michigan State college eleven, and former Notre Dame star, will I speak over WABC-Columbia net-1 work, including WFBM, Indianapolis, Friday night as Christy Walsh’s guest during the presentation of the “All America Football Show” from Bto 8:30. Musical selections will include songs of colleges which achieved prominence in games of Oct. 15. Another highlight of the program will be Christy Walsh’s ranking of ten outstanding players in games of last week. Paul Moss, star Purdue end, was included in the Walsh “ratings” on the air last Friday night for his fine play in the Minnesota tilt of Oct. 8. The “ratings” announced on the air this Friday will be published in The Times Saturday. tt tt tt Another effort of Jack Dempsev to pick up more easy money was met with a rebuff in Boston. He was rejected as a referee “for the Schaaf-Winston heavyweight bout Thursdav night on the grounds that there are better referees than Dempsey In Massachusetts and that the home state boys need the employment more than the wealthy former heavyweight champ. All of which is right and proper. Dempsev fooled the public for plenty of currency in his highly advertised come- | back, meeting pushovers, chiefly, in short bouts before big houses, then suddenly going into retirement again.

With a great running game featuring Babb, Veller and Fuqua and a powerful plunging attack topped by Jones and Edmonds, the two big full backs, to mix with their passing game the Hoosiers will present a problem for any team's defense.

National Clubs Deny; Four-Cornered Swap Trade Rumor Involves Giants, Cubs, Braves and Reds in Important Deal; Brooklyn Club Also in Market for Pitchers. First Baseman. BY JACK CUDDY Vnited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 18—The trade winds threaten to blow a lot of National League baseball players into strange uniforms before spring training starts. That Boston rumor about the Braves. New York Giants, Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds negotiating a four-cornered exchange of about $500,000 worth of players reflects activity, if nothing else. And the rumor itself may not be so silly as the club* officials would have the press believe. Representatives of the four clubs were quick to deny the report—that is .all except that frank southerner. Memphis Bill Terry, manager of the Giants. At his home in Tennessee, Bill admitted that the “big deal” might come off. Charles Adams, official with Boston Braves, denied emphatically that his club was involved in a transaction which would (1) send Freddy Lindstrom and Frank Hogan of the Giants to the Cubs in exchange for Pat Malone. Kiki Cuyler and Gabby Hartnett; (2) then transfer Cuyler and Hartnett to the Braves for Wally Berger: <3> with the understanding that Malone would go from the Giants to the Reds in exchange for Babe Herman.

Jim Tierney, secretary of the Giants, denied that the New York club was involved in such a deal, but it is well known in baseball circles that Manager Terry has approached practically every club in the league with trade prepositions and has welcomed proposals from other managers. Brooklyn apparently is not tmixed up in the Boston deal, but the Flatbush officials are as busy as hungry hens. They'll trade with anybody if they can get good pitchers and a first baseman. Max Carey, manager of the Dodgers, is down in St. Louis trying to take Sunny Jim Bottomley away from Sam Breadon of the Cardinals. If he can’t get Bottomley, he may consider Jimmy Collins or Pat Crawford. Carey also has his eye on Sam Leslie of the Giants. A representative of the Dodgers admitted Monday night that the club would spend up to $200,000 to give the fans a colorful, fighting team next season. They’ll buy, sell or exchange. CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—Pat Malone, Kiki Cuyler and Gabby Hartnett may not play with tne Chicago Cubs next season, but they will not be traded to the New York Giants for Freddy Lindstrom and Frank Hogan. President William Veeck emphatically denied today that any such trade was brewing.
