By Eddie Ash Hodapp Wants Regular Daily Action a a a Jones Gains Edge on Scoring Plays a tt u McMillen Is Paid Well for Tin Ears

w HEN Johnny Hodapp, the stalwart diamond pastimer, paid a visit to Indianapolis recently he told friends he was satisfied with the deal that sent him from the Chicago White Sox to the tailend Boston Ited Sox. That’s anew one in the “book” for a player to express pleasure over a change of pasture when transferred to a cellar brigade, but Johnny evidently is sincere. The youth r errud not to care a whole lot about employment in Chicago. He seldom was used last season-by the White Sox and realizes il he is going to do a comeback it will be necessary for him to receive regular every-day action. He was traded to Chicago by Cleveland along with Boh Seeds and now the same pair will be seen in Boston livery in 1933. Ano'.ncr thing. President Bob Quinn of the Red Sox always thought well of Hodapp and thinks the big Cincinnati boy will prove a valuable addition to Marty McManus’ hopefuls. Injuries handicapped Hodapp the past two seasons, last year especially, and he was not at his best when a chance was given him to perform. The former Indianapolis phenom grew fat. Proxy Quinn has let it be known that in 1930, when Hodapp was one of the standouts in the Cleveland lineup, he offered five players for the husky infielder and was turned down. Johnny is only 27 years old and if he succeeds in reducing his tonnage and his batting eye returns, Boston won t be sorry. Anyway, Bob Quinn, a veteran major owner, believes is destined to flourish again and make himself a fixture in the big show foi several more seasons. a a a tt tt a THERE’S PERCENTAGE IN LONG PASSES H* OWARD JONES, coach of the great Southern California football team, boasting a record of twenty consecutive victories, is a foxy grid mentor and one of his smart plays is the long and high forward pass that his team used to defeat Notre Dame in 1931 and 32, and also Pittsburgh the other day Both the Irish and Panthers were started on the way to a trouncing by distance shots by Jones’ latest title machine. The average grid fan probably locked at these long tosses as just plain passes thrown with unusual accuracy and caught by alert and agile receivers. It’s a good bet, however, that the Trojan coach figures his rule book to help these plays go through. For instance, the Trojans throw these shots far enough almost to guarantee there will be only one defensive player at the spot where the pigskin comes down and therein Is the “percentage” in favor of the passing team. The rule says: “If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible players of opposing teams, the ball shall belong to the passer’s team.” It happens occasionally, with two men coming down after a leap and both clutching the leather. Moreover, the icceiver has all the best of the interference penalties on forward passes, a part of the grid sport that harrasses officials. A smart gridder sometimes can manufacture what looks like interference by frigning a collision, push, .stumble of trip. One radio announcer describing the fifiy-two-yard pass. Griffith to Palmer, Monday, that scored Southern California’s first touchdown, said from his post it looked as though Palmer, the receiver, bumped Sebastian, the defensive man covering hirfi, when the two leaped for the ball—and Palmer alighted with it. Perhaps the anno'uncer had the wrong slant, and perhaps no bumping occurred, for the catch by Palmer was declared legal. There is a rule, however, that reads: “Interference bv players of the passing team is prohibited from the time the ball is snapped until the pass is touched.” a a tt a tt tt JIM SAYS HE HAS EARNED SIOO,OOO }IM M’MILLEN, the big heavyweight grappler scheduled to take on Joe Zarnas in the feature mat event at Tomlinson hall, Thursday night is going to match grips, elbows, grunts and groans with Jumping Joe Savoldi in Chicago next Monday. Both are former campus football idols McMillen at Illinois and Savoldi at. Notre Dame. The Illini grappler has been active in the professional ring longer than Jumping Joe, but Chicago is strong for Savoldi and the young giants are expected to attract-, a large house. It will be their first meeting. McMillen says he has earned SIOO,OOO on the mat since leaving college and intends to keep on mixing in the resin until he collects a quarter of a million. Jim says he doesn't nund the tin ears received in the rough sport, and adds, "My wife loves me, ears and all, and who wouldn't sacrifice the shape of his ears for a fortune?” McMillen wrestled before 23,000 people in Nev,’ York at Madison Square Garden, meeting Jim Londos, the Greek Adonis. The collegian lost that match, but was thrilled by the wild excitement that took place in the packed arena as the overflow crowd fought to get in. Jim graduated from Illinois university in 1924 with the degree of bachelor of science and entered professional football the fall of that year, playing with the Chicago Bears for five years. He w’eighs 215 and stands 6 feet 1 inch. a 'u- a a a a PEEAVEE WANER. Little Poison, struck out only eleven times in 134 games with the Pittsburgh Pirates last season. He is the Joe Sewell of the National League. Joey fanned only three times in 1932 in 124 games.

Ruth May Get Slash Ballyhoo Given Early Start: $25,000 Pay Cut Is Rumored. Bp I'nit cl Prt ss NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—Reports that Babe Ruth's robust salary will receive a drastic reduction shortly came several weeks earlier than usual this season. One baseball writer learned from "an authoritative source” that George Herman Ruth would be reduced s2s,ooo—that the veteran slugger would receive a meager $50,C00 instead of last year's presidential $75,000. Consensus among the experts was that the Babe may take a SIO,OOO slash Left to his own dictates, it's quite likely that Colonel Jake Ruppert would not be too severe with Ruth. But it’s understood that other magnates are bringing considerable pressure to bear .on the good colonel. These magnates see in Babe’s huge salary a barrier to reductions in their own clubs. Ruppert denied point-blank that he had decided to cut 525.000 c-fl the Bambino’s salary. “In fact, I haven’t even considered any contracts yet,” he explained. The Babe growled that it sounded “like a lot of bunk.” PONZI LEADS CHAMP I!;) Timm Special NEW YORK, Jan. 4—Andrew Fonzi, Philadelphia veteran, displayed brilliant form to thump Ralph Grecnleaf, pocket billiard champion, 244 to 53 in the fourth block of their exhibition match here Tuesday, and took the lead 505 to 437.

As he slipped new laces into his shoes Jack talked. And he talked mostly of Max Schmeling and Jack Dempsey, two men he loaths. You knew by the scorn in his voice and the way his eyes narrowed into mere slits that Sharkey meant it when he said “Schmeling’s yellow. He ain't got any moxie,” and, "Dempsey! Listen, he's such a bum he couldn't get a license to fight.” "I see by the papers,” Jack said, “that I’m afraid to fight Schmeling—that I won't give him a bout. Listen, that German is yellow.

Thoman Wrecking Company Blasts Shelby Win String

BY VERN ROXELL NEWCASTLE. Ind., Jan. 4.—A young man whose handle is Billy Thoman added another feather to his already overstuffed cap here Tuesday night.

WHEN 15-year-old Katherine Rawls gees swimming she doesn’t go for fun. The other day the Florida girl, who was a member of the Olympic diving team, splashed into the water and when she emerged new records had been set for the 300. 400, and 440-yard breast stroke events, with times of 4:37 1-5, 5:53 and 6:52 2-5.

ing like a baby. I found it out again last summer when, with the championship sliding out of his hands, he stood off and wouldn’t come in and mix it. It he’s such a hitter, why didn't he come in and polish me off? Because he knew if he did I'd knock his head off. “I found out he was yellow for the third time when he took a runout on the Garden and refused to meet me this summer, signing for a bout with Max Baer instead. How in hell anybody figures I'm afraid to meet him is more'n I can see. I offered him a bout. He wouldn't take it. despite the fact he wants that title mighty bad. “If you ask him why he didn't want to take me this summer, he’ll tell you it's because the Garden won’t give him but 10 per cent. What does he want? That’s the j usual challenger’s end. That's what [ I took last year against him. I

age in any man's league. And of the seven trips which he made to the charity stripe, Thoman converted on six attempts. All of which isn't so bad, considering the young man is recuperating from a knife attack by an appendix-seeking surgeon last summer. There are four other good ball players in the Newcastle cast, including a 14-year-old lad by the name of Huffman, who's bigger than most prep performers right now and is only a freshman. He may make Trojan fans forget his brother Vernon, that great allstate back guard of the last three years. Manning teams well at forward with Thoman, and got two buckets in eight attempts. Stephens is coming fast at center, and Dungan rounds out a none too large but plenty speedy ball club. Orville Hooker’s prospects were anything but bright when only one of last year's championship quintet turned up for practice this fall, but the former Butler flash isn't worrying much now—neither are the Trojan fans. n n n A S for Shelby, Coach McCullough said his pastimers were off form, and they must have been. They didn't show the brand of basketball Tuesday night that brings nine consecutive victories and a tie without a loss. There's little question about Shelby's power—it's there. Six veterans cf almost equal ability, all of whom saw first-string action last year, are at McCullough’s command. Gunning, who is Shelby's top point getter, wasn't ••getting" Tuesday night. He wasn't even ‘‘gunning. - ’ Shepple and Lackey were Shelby’s stars. Like Newcastle, the Mackmen lack size, but when they start going some place, they can get there in a hurry. Newcastle banked the bucket for a 19 to 7 lead in the first half on Tuesday. Shelby fired often, but with little success. A rally at the start of the second half brought the count to 23 to 19.

took it because I knew I could beat him. If he's so certain he can lick Sharkey, why doesn't he take the same gamble? I'll tell you why—he hasn't got the moxie.” Jack was asked what he thought the chances were of Dempsey coming back. “He doesn't want to come back, and he couldn’t if he wanted to. There isn’t a sensible commission in the world that would give him a license, he’s that sorry. If he couldn't do any better than he did in his exhibitions with overstuffed gloves, what chance would he have with the light ones? The trouble with Dempsey is that he’s suffering from some sort of complex which makes him think the boxing game is no good without him in there. We've been getting along quite a while without him, and I guess we can keep on going. Come on. I’ve got to go out here and let those birds take a few pictures.” Sharkey walked out and posed, first with Ernie Schaaf, and then alone, with his championship belt, a mess of silver and gold, strapped around his waist. Someone yelled from the ringside to ask Jack how much the belt would get at a pawnshop. “Probably about 25 cents,” he yelled back. “Maybe a half dollar if you knew the guy who ran the place. But you’d have to know him pretty well.” Slagg Still Seriously 111 Bp United Press NEW YORK.

Crowley Is Ram Pilot Sleepy Jim Signs ThreeYear Contract at Fordham. BV JACK CUDDY I'nitfrt Drr** st-er Corrr< NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—James H. (Sleepy Jinn Crowley, cne of Notre Dame’s famous “Four Horsemen.” and football coach at Michigan State college for the last three years, has signed a three-year contract as head coach with Fordham university. This young Badcer who galloped to fame with Stuhldreher. Laydcn, and Miller, will be the first coach to equip a major New York team with the Rockne system of attack. He succeeds Major Frank W. Cavanaugh, who resigned on Dec. 19 because of illness after six years with Fordham. Crowley's resignaj tion at the Michigan agricultural school will become effective Feb. 28. and he will take charge of the Rams for spring training. Glenn Carberry. Notre Dame captain in 1922, will be one of his assistants. John F. Coffey, graduate manager of athletics, declined to discuss salaries, but it is understood Sleepy Jim will receive SII,OOO. an inj crease of $3,000 over his Michigan I State contract. He was granted his j release by President Robert Shaw, | who didn't wish to interfere with ! Crowley's advancement. The contract at Lansing had one year to go. Crowley went to Michigan State three years ago from the University of Georgia, where he had served as back field coach since he left Notre Dame in 1925. At Michigan State, he established himself as a frontranker among the scores of South Bend graduate coaches. Last sea- ; son his team was beaten only by i Michigan, Big Ten champion. When ' Crowley moves to Fordham, he'll find there the finest array of material the Ram has had in years, including virtually all of last season's first two elevens.

because they played with an independent team last year, were reinstated by the lowa board of control and will retain their eligibility pending a final decision by the Western Conference. MarquGte won from Wisconsin for the second time. 22 to 16. Miami U. defeated Indiana. 33 to 29. Illinois rallied to down Detroit, 39 to 28.
