By Eddie Ash Washington Overcomes Fans’ Apathy mum Bill McAfee One of Senator Hopefuls bub Windy City Mat Promoter Unwinds

GRIFFITH has poured enough oil on troubled waters this winter to overcome much of the ill feeling that cropped up in Washington when he released the veteran Walter Johnson as manager. First, the Senators’ prexy selected Joe Cronin, most popular of the team’s players, to succeed the Big Train and followed this move by strengthening the club. Bringing back to Washington the colorful Goose Goslin, slugging outfielder, worked wonders among the disgruntled fans and they hailed the return of the “Wild Goose of the Potomac’’ with widespread acclaim. Moreover, Griffith engineered the acquisition of southpaw pitchers Walter Stewart and Earl Whitehill, both highly regarded in the American experienced hurlers of no mean skill. Big league experts are saying Washington now is the most improved first division club in the. junior major loop and the Chicago White Sox the most improved of the second division occupants. Os course, it’s a risky experiment naming young Cronin as pilot. He is only 26, is of the high strung type, may go to pieces and be ruined as a ball player. That would be a terrible price to pay for an experiment. However, Cronin thinks he will withstand the double load of player and pilot and bear up under the punishment that comes when a club falls into a slump. Joe is fired with ambition and fought his way back from the minors after Pittsburgh had found him wanting and sent him down the river to Kansas City. From an unwanted pastimer, therefore, Joe climbed the hill again and developed into the leading shortstop of both big leagues in the field and at bat. B tt B it B BILL McAFEE MAY HAVE ARRIVED’ THERE is every prospect that Cronin’s Senators picked up a “sleeper’’ gem in Bill McAfee, right handed college flinger formerly with the Chicago Cubs. The Bruias included McAfee in a deal with the Boston Braves that brought pitcher Bob Smith and outfielder Lance Richbourg to Chicago. Bob and Lance no longer are with the Cubs, Lance is in the minors and Bob is with the Cincy Reds. McAfee was a star with the Michigan university nine when picked off by the Windy City Nationals. He is a right hander, 25, stands 6 feet 2 inches and weighs about 185. He is originally out of Georgia, the Cracker state, but his parents now reside in Chicago. McAfee was sent by the Braves to Montreal last year where he won eight tilts and lost nine and was in twenty-three games. Theie was some confusion over a deal during the last part of the 1932 campaign between Braves and Baltimore and in some manner, Washington grabbed McAfee at the big league waiver price. Owner Griffith was alert and snared the young pitcher. McAfee’s first performance with Washington was against the Chicago White Sox and he turned in a five-hit victory. Bill twirled his way to six victories against only one defeat with the Senators during August and September. He was in eight games and worked forty-one innings. He started five games, completed two games, was taken out three times and finished as relief man in three games. st tt ft a ts tt NOTHING WRONG IN THIRTY YEARS! JOHN V. CLINNIN, chairman of the Illinois athletic commission, has launched a campaign to rub out horse play in wrestling. In other words, he has grown tired of watching the hippodrome boys go through their antics. Clinnin’s declaration stirred up a lot of squawks in the mat fraternity, but the loudest was supplied by John Krone, veteran Chicago promoter. Without batting an eye, the well-known Windy City matchmaker expended a load of wrath and shouted that Clinnin was making an unjust accusation and surely couldn’t put the finger on John Krone. Preposterous! Here is Krone's statement, in part: “I never have seen anything wrong in wrestling in thirty years as a promoter. It seems hardly probable that any promoter could induce these high class gentlemen to stoop to monkey business on the mat. Many of the best wrestlers of today are college graduates and are taught the love of fair sport.” You tell ’em, John, old boy, old boy. You win all of the medals for talking through the old hat. Try an airplane spin for breakfast, a double Japanese toe holder lunch and top off the day with a flying tackle and dive between the ropes for the evening dinner. B B B B B B DOUBLE HARNESS, SEVEN-DAY WEEK IARRY GILBERT has been demoted and will manager the New Or- .. leans nine this year. He w r as promoted to business manager a year ago, but the depression knocked him back. Last season's kick in the club bankroll totalled $30,000 and Jakie Atz was relieved as pilot. Gilbert doubtless will be asked to work in double harness, and baseball is played seven days of nearly every week. Like following the bangtails, backing a minor league club nowadays is just another way of kissing the dollars good by. A statistical hound has figured that injuries to football players in 1932 cost the student grid warriors 12,632 days of classroom activity. Well, let the technocrats worry about it. The players prefer to forget it, if the professors will let ’em. B B B B B B WHEN Reggie Root appointed Bucky O’Connor backfield coach at Yale and retained Adam Walsh as line coach, one more Notre Dame system eleven was added to the eastern list. Another addition will be Fordham, taken over by Jimmy Crowley. Walsh and Crowley were members of the same Rockne machine. Crowley was a Horseman and Walsh was a Mule. B B B B B B Irvin Jacobs, nationally-known horse trainer and one of the best, learned the business out of a book. He used to be a pigeon fancier.

Jeff Tests Shortridge, Muncie Faces Tech in Top Cage Frays

City Prep Quintets Win Six Out of Seven Friday Tilts. After winning six of seven tilts Friday night, city high school quintets return to action tonight with five games. Two tilts headline tonight’s program, with Pete Jolly’s powerful Bearcats invading Tech gym to tangle with Tim Campbell’s husky eastsiders and Abie Master’s fleet Jefferson Broncos from Lafayette battling Kenny Peterman's Shortridge five on the north side. City rivals get together at Manual where Broad Ripple battles the Redskins. Cathedral meets a dark horse five in Elwood at the Irish court and Washington goes to Brownsburg. Rushville Is Outclassed Tech, Manual. Cathedral, Broad Ripple, Washington and Crispus Attucks were victorious in Friday starts, Park bowing to Castletonfor the only local loss. Rushville was easy for Tech, losing 39 to 22. Edwards collected nineteen points and Townsend ten for the winners during their stay in the game. The eastsiders piled up a 22 to 11 edge at half time and reserves finished the action. Manual staged a sensational rally to capture a 20 to 19 decision at Mooresville. The Redskins were behind 12 to 4 at the half, but Yosha led a rally which knotted the count at 15-all in the third quarter. Irish Show Power Carson and Ed O’Connor banged in five field markers each to pace Cathedral to a 42 to 19 trouncing of Noblesville. The Irish combined a powerful defense with their flashy offensive. The Cathedral pastimers ran wild in the final periods after leading 15 to 9 at the half. Wiseman’s five field goals helped Broad Ripple to an easy 27 to 18 trilmph over Greenwood, the Rockets leading all the way. Ripple held a 13 to 3 advantage at half time and showed defensive power throughout the game. Continentals Triumph Washington turned back Beech Grove, 33 to 21, with Baumback and Howard leading a last half rally after the Grove pastimers had held the Continentals 11 to 9 at half time.

Legs Turn to Rubber and Eyes to Glass as Heavies War at Garden

BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Telegram Sport* Editor NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—Heavyweights bounced around on the garden carpet last night like cocoanuts in a tropical hurricane. There were seven delightful brawls and four of them ended in the embalming parlors. “What more can the people ask for?’’ demanded Wise Guy Johnston, the matchmaker, as he stood at the ringside after the slaughter beaming in the gore of it all. “How about the battle of the Marne for an encore?” suggested a sadist from Tenth Avenue. Anyone interested in the grotesqueries of the human body would have found the evening profitable. Legs turned to rubber and eyes turned to glass. The crude chemistry of the militant fist is productive of grisly sights. B B tt NOT many of the parishioners were in the pews when the services began, but those wh® were stayed until the last hunk of beef had been offered up to the Queensberry gods. Nothing satisfied the parishioners so much as an orgy of carnage. It must be that it’s great fun to see somebody else get his ears knocked off. I wish the freshman class in psychology would look into this and tear off an enlightening monograph. B B tt The wind-up brought Ernie Schaaf of Boston and Poreda of Jersey City together. They didn’t stay together long. Poreda wound up on a little white cot, murmuring feebly, “Save the women and children first.” B tt tt The young man lasted six rounds. Which was five more than seemed possible after the fight got under way. From the second round on he was fighting for a reprieve, on his nerve and on feet that seemed undecided whether to call a taxi or a chiropodist, tt B tt WELL, you can t say Poreda can’t take it,” commented a front row guest. And you can’t say he didn’t have a lot of practice tonight,” somebody cracked back. Such goings on! B tt tt The Jersey man began to fade like a two-dollar henna wash in a shower when Schaaf cracked him with a jolting right hand near the close of the second round. He took four, got up and then took another right that sent him sprawling into the ropes as the bell gonged. Ts the joint pinched?” he asked, wabbling back to his corner. tt tt B From then on it was simply a question whether Pordea would be able to leave the premises under his own power or in the arms of his nearest relatives and closest friends. He was in there swinging but the pitching was too fast for him. tt B tt SCHAAF looked pretty impressive, even if he did let his man hang around too long, a sharpshooter would have locked the desk and called it a day in the third round when Poreda was floundering around like Hack Wilson in the sun field. . Either Schaaf is not a sharpshooter or a sharp thinker. Still he got his man. Police Commissioner Mulrooney couldn’t have done more. tt B B “The mistake Poreda made was in not boxing him,” insisted one of the critics. But it seemed to me the mistake he made was in getting into the ring with him in the first place. Or in any place, for that matter.

Ownie Bush's "Hustlers,” with Mike Morrissey Dan Scanlon, Bill Rodocker and Laddie Hancock, in addition to the east side pride in the lineup, were taken in two by the Buck Sumner quintet in SgecM match on the Pritchett allevs, 2,388 to .2,296. In addition to Sumner, the sheriff s team consisted of Chuck Klein, Tom Scanlan, "Fat” Hitch and 'Rip Lynch, a great bunch of Germans. Lynch, for the winners, was easily the star of the match, his 254 finish leaving his team mates, as well as Bush's boys, hanging on the ropes. Bush blames the loss of this match to Laddie Hancock, who turned in a total of 425 after a trip to Connersville and Richmond, where he taught the bowlers of these towns the fine points of the game. The losers are confident their loss was a fluke, however, and are seeking a return match In the near future. Barbasol. with Hueber and Fehr rolling totals of 634 and 627, took the odd game from Budweiser Case during the City League series on the Hotel Antler alleys. Johnson Chevrolet broke loose with one of their early season totals, scoring 3,153 on games of 1.079, 1,059 and 1,015 to win two from Hoosier Coffee. Red Coble, leading off for the Johnson team, rolled a total of 703. Burnett had 677 and B. Johnson 630. For the losers McNew, Haislup and Shriver had counts of 631, 618 and 615. The Elk Boosters also won two from Marott Shoes when they finished with a count of 1,073. Stark closed with a 268 to total 687 for the Boosters. Welling had 606 and Schenck 600. For the Marotts, Frank (Dad) Fox rolled a total of 637. Wheeler, Stemm and Stevenson counted 642. 617 and 627 for Hotel Antlers and these boys won all three from Rose Tire who had Ray Fox rolling 635 for their only \ honor count. Six totals over the 600 mark were posted j during the Newman Candy vs. Wheeler ] Lunch match of the Washington League on the Illinois alleys, Werner, E. Heckman and W. Heckman scoring 646, 611 and 602 for Newman, as Faust, Miller and Schneider rolled 645, 613 and 609 for Wheeler. The Newman team had the punch at the right moment, winning all three games by narrow margins. Dad Hanna and Schering scored 624 and 609 for the Geisen team and these boys won all three from Lilly Luggage. John Blue again showed the boys how to ?et the wood, rolling a series of 689 to lead he Coca Cola team to an odd game win over Indiana Carbureator and Brake Service. Rutch McAllen scored an even 600 for Brake Service.

The two Johns of the Scott Trucking team of the K. of C. League. Murphy and Barrett, had total of 659 and 610, so Finneran Grocery left the drives, making plans for next week's series.

Schaaf Shines in K. O. Victory Over Poreda

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—ls the four leading heavyweights—the Messrs. Sharkey, Schaaf, Schmeling and Baer—were thrown into a dark cellar and the door locked, we're afraid we’d have to select Ernie Schaaf as the one most likely to come out under his power. Most of the 7,000 or sq customers who saw Schaaf knock Stanley Poreda kicking in six heats at the Garden Ffiday night would make the same choice. For not in many a moon has New York seen such a workmanlike job as Schaaf turned in Friday. Aside from the first round, when Poreda’s superior speed afoot and snaky left hand kept him at bay, Schaaf showed everything. His hitting, from either side, was

Fistic Female French Woman Boxer Is After Didrikson for Ring Scrap. By United Press NEW YORK Jan. 7.—Babe Didrikson may be the world’s greatest woman athlete, but Vina Jeanne La Mar of France is begging for a chance to get one good sock at her bobbed head. “I think I could knock her out," said Vina after challenging the Babe to a ten-round boxing bout at catch weights. La Mar, claimant of the world’s women’s featherweight championship, is 25 and weighs only 118 pounds, but says she has “zee grand punch” and is confident of giving the 19-year-old Texas lass a trouncing. The Babe weighs 133. Vina has been on the Babe’s trail for some time, but could never arrange a bout because Miss Didrikson was an amateur. Now that the Babe has turned professional, the Frenchwoman is clamoring for action. _ Two Purdue Players Out By United Press LAFAYETTE. Ind., Jan. 7.

Surprises Champ RINGSIDERS and fistic fans. Jackie Fields, and even Eddie Murdock himself were surprised when Eddie walloped welterweight champion Jackie in a ten-round nontitle bout on the coast recently. Murdock scored a nine-count knockdown in the first round.

the sort that makes for knockouts. His strength enabled him to take Poreda's sundry punches and keep moving in. And the wicked manner in which he put his man away in the final heat showed that the stolid Boston sailor has, at last, developed a zest for the kilt. Contrary to his past performances, Schaaf required but one round to get warmed up Friday night. The second round was little more than a minute old when he dropped Poreda for a fourcount with a short, jolting right. Poreda went down again just before the end of the round, the bell saving him. The Jersey boy clung so close Schaaf was unable to get a clean shot in the third heat, but the fourth saw Poreda down on his shoulder blades for a count of nine. Poreda was little more than a punching bag in the fifth. Schaaf continued his merciless barage in the sixth until referee Arthur Donovan stopped the slaughter. * The fight, if the Garden's elimination tournament is on the level, places Schaaf within one scrap of a shot at Sharkey and the heavyweight title. His only barrier now is Primo Camera, and Primo, even if he is a 100 per cent better fighter than he was two years ago, wouldn't last three rounds with the Schaaf of Friday night. The Garden, however, may have been kidding when it said the winner between Ernie and Stanley would get a crack at Primo and then Sharkey. For the Garden knows that it would take some treetop tall ballyhoo to sell the public a fight between Schaaf and Sharkey, the man who owns half of Ernie’s contract. Personally, we think it would be an elegant brawl. Certainly, there is no love lost between the two. Sharkey, despite the fact he is part owner of Ernie, is one of those sweet, lovable characters who’d knock his Great-Uncle Charlie’s ears off if Great-Uncle hCarlie happened to speak out of turn. And Ernie—well, Ernie hasn’t but two great hates in the world, and Jack Sharkey, the squire of Chestnut Hills, is both of ’em. WOODEN VS. CURTIS By Times Special MARTINSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 7.
