By Eddie Ash Cleveland Has Problem With Wes Ferrell • mm Pick-up in Sports Is Cheering News a a a Pittsburgh Aces Report Hike in Pay

r | ''HA I Lofty Gomez for Wes Ferrell trade talk has cropped up again ■*■ despite persistent denials made in Cleveland and New York ever since the sleuth Joe Williams sprung it on the baseball world last summer. it is now said the Cleveland officials put out another feeler on the subject recently and get turned down by the Yankees, who replied they mig'-i be :rterested in discussing some sort of a deal that would send Ora: Hildebrand or Mel Harder to New York. Cleveland's answer to that one was no. There Ls a rumor circulating that Ferrell hurt his salary wing last season and that some of his erratic pitching was due to the injury, although in the final sum-tip his record was high class with twenty-three victories and thirteen defeats. He was eighth in earned run efficiency with a mark of 3.65. Gomez won twenty-seven games, lost seven and was twenty-third in earned rums with a record of 4.21. Ferrell is 25 and Gomez is 23. Cleveland has a problem. The team needs a mainstay southpaw nurier to make it a close flag contender and as for Ferrell, the ace rightnander, his standing with Manager Roger Peckinpaugh and some of his mates is not so goon Wesley is inclined to become ruffled when errors are made behind him and last season was suspended for ten days for disobeying Chief Peck. talked out of turn when he announced publicly that Joe SET*- P‘i. ot ? f ,hp Yan k p es, was the best manager in the league. Peckinpaugh barely was hanging on by a thread at the time and Wesley’s speech got under his hide.

HAS THAT C ORNER FINALLY BEEN ROUNDED? QPORTS promoters and many business men who make it a point to relax by attending professional athletic events are agog over the sucidon pick-up in the size of crowds and the increase of box office _c ip,,s lepoited locally recently. It was only a few weeks back that u-fnH g f Wa ' S ‘! n ropes for la( ' k of Patronage and it seemed that no kind of sport attraction would attract cash customers. TL Ha rrison gave up fistic promotion a year ago iast summer and the Marion County American Legion posts failed to renew their Armory ease at the start of the current indoor season. Moreover, until this winter, professional basketball was a dead issue in Indianapolis. Last Sunday afternoon, at the Armory, the Kautsky league netters. playing the Firestones of Akron, drew a crowd of 2,000 or more. 1 969 eing paid admissions. At Tomlinson hall, the same afternoon, the Indianapolis and Marion roller polo teams attracted more than 2 000 fans, and wrestling shows last week, on Thursday and Friday nights reported satisfactory turnouts. At Tomlinson hall Tuesday night a boxing program was staged and the piace was filled. The customers were on hand early and the ancient structure was packed to the point of overflowing. It's possible the new year is going to make good on its promises aftei all. The up-line in the financial charts soon may be curving high wide and handsome. PIRATES SEE LIFT IN DEPRESSION* A NO l HER gesture toward confidence in business revival is the action of Hie Pittsburgh Pirates. The Waner brothers, Paul and Lloyd, ou fielders, and Larry French, pitcher, have announced increases in sale ies for 1933 and the club itself has called off curtailment of spring training and will go about the tune-up program the same as in 1932. In other words the Pirate officials see better days ahead. The Bucs will start for their training camp in California. Feb. 19. and will begin the grind Feb. 23. The official major league season does not open until the second week in April. That will mean a long stretch of board, room and transportation for the big squad of Pittsburgh pastimers with the club footing the bill. The majority of big league clubs plan to swing the salary ax, however, and the moaning of the athletes soon will be heard. The fact that Judge K. M. Landis, commissioner of baseball, took a cut of $25,000 after it had been announced he had refused to accept a reduction, knocked the props out of arguments that were going to be advanced by the players in refusing to surrender to drastic swings of the hatchet. The leak on the Landis reduction placed a lot of sport editorial writers, who had scoffed at him, out on a limb. He accepted the $25,000 cut and asked that no publicity be given the matter, but certain club owners let news of it trickle out to use as a club against prospective Player holdouts. It's possible, now, that the New York Yankees, despite j denials, plan to ask Babe Ruth to bear up under a $50,000 contract instead i of the $75,000 paid him last year.

WELTER PHENOM JOINS GLASER STABLE MIKE MITCHELL, roly poly trainer of boxers, was in the city Tuesday night with Young Walker, Los Angeles welterweight. Mike broke even with Illinois street. He left it flat and was flat when he left sometime ago for Chicago. Now Mike is prospering again as trainer for the Joe Glaser and A1 Lippe stables of boxers and receives his pay whether or not the managers make a profit on a bout. According to Mitchell, Lippe said the other night: “Hereafter, instead of me taking you out to dinner every night, you take me out.’’ Eddie Murdock, sensational Pacific Coast welterweight who upset the apple cart recently by whipping Jackie Fields, the champion, in a non-title scrap, will join the Glaser stable shortly and will be placed under Mike’s care.

Billy Arnold wouldn’t look the part even if he was dressed in dirty overalls, helmet, goggles and the rest of the working togs of the craft.

Scliaaf, Camera to Clash Feb. 10 for Sharkey Scrap

Bn United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 11. —Ernie Schaaf and Primo Camera are expected to sign Thursday for a 10round bout at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 10, with the winner to meet Jack Sharkey in June for the heavyweight championship. Jimmy Johnston, Garden promoter, said that terms for the bout practically had been agreed upon. Signing ceremony is expected Thursday. Johnston said it was not definite whether the fight would be for ten or fifteen rounds, but he thought it would go the shorter route. The Schaaf-Poreda and SchaafCarnera bouts were eliminations arranged by the Garden to produce a heavyweight contender after Jack Dempsey shunted Max Schmeling and Maxie Baer away and signed them for a battle this summer.

\ Why don't you ask Eddie Rickenbacker and Peter De Paolo, here?” As it turned out, our fears were groundless. It really was Billy Arnold, winner of the 500-mile grind at Indianapolis in 1930, and leader in the 1931 and 1932 races until something went haywire, spinning his tiny car through the concrete boundary wall at about 125 miles an hour. tt tt tt TT was about these two crashes -*• that we wanted to ask Billy. We didn't particularly care to know how he felt as he careened through the wall with death at the throttle. What we wanted to know was why, after he had established a fairly safe lead, he refused to slow down

Jersey Club Is Put on Block Up United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—A committee of three was appointed Tuesday by the International League to attempt to sell the franchise of the Jersey City club.

Schaaf, the blond Bostonian, is now under the direct management of Johnny Buckley and Sharkey. But if he beats Camera, it probably will be his last battle under their management because it would be a bad policy for Ernie to be fighting his boss, Sharkey, for the title. Schaaf’s contract with Sharkey and Buckley expires on March 4, and if he defeats Camera, he is expected to go under the wing of Charley Johnston, Jimmy's brother.

Other drivers have told us that Arnold would have won the last two races had he done this. “Hell,” said Billy when the question ivas put to him, “There isn’t but one kick in the racing business and that’s to get up and get going, and stay going. Yahh, I could use the first place money, but I figure it never could buy me the thrill of roaring down & straightaway with the throttle down or hitting a turn like a bullet. It'd be a lot of fun, wouldn’t it, to get ten or twelve miles ahead and then start easing along? I'd rathfer get out and walk.” If you don’t believe Arnold means what he says, ask the mechanic who rode wdth him last year. With less

Cox Beats Yet Purvis Jackie Battered by Young Local Welter Rival at Tomlinson Hall. Jackie Purvis, local welterweight veteran, and most of the local fistic fans were convinced today that Tracy Cox is pretty good as fighters go. Tracy slashed his persistent challenger to ribbons in a ten-round tussle before an overflow crowd at Tomlinson hall Tuesday night. Youth and strength were in Cox’ favor, and although he failed to drop the rugged Purvis he battered the tough vet all the way with stinging punches to the head and body with both hands. Purvis did not appear up to his standard Tuesday night. His left was useless and it’s a well-known fact you can’t hope to beat Cox without a left hand. Although he failed to take a single stanza, Purvis did land a few healthy wallops which temporarily slowed up Tracy, but they were too few and far between to cause any damage. Purvis rook plenty of punishment and his face was battered badly. He is an old-timer in a way and cuts and bruises easily. Young Walker, chunky Negro welter of Los Angeles, who made a hit with local fans two weeks ago in a draw tilt with Purvis, and Frankie Hughes of Clinton went through the motions for ten rounds and the officials gave the coast boy the verdict. There wasn't much action. Hughes failed to fight in the early stanzas. Frankie crossed up Walker by shifting to a southpaw style in the fourth round, and from then on Walker took to his bicycle. It wasn’t much of a fight. Hughes might have made it a good one if he had opened up. Henry Hook of Elwood, Indiana's bants mweisht champion, caught Marshall Edwards of Louisville w r ith a steaming left and right to the jaw in the sixth round, ending a, lively and interesting scrap. The pint-sized battlers went after each other at the opening gong and traded leather in lustrv fashion. There was little letup and the fans "went" for this scrap Edwards piled up a slight lead in the first five frames, but Hook's two short, lightning jolts in the sixth erased that edge. Edwards went down in a heap for keeps. Paul Conger, Anderson heavyweight, made ouick work of Joe Brian of Jamestown. winning by a knockout in the second round.

Billy let loose the steering wheel just long enough to lay one on the mechanic’s jaw r . Billy will deny this, but it’s true. A few miles farther on. in attempting to miss a car that skidded across their path, Billy and the mechanic swung to the top of the bowl and plunged through the wall.

Chicago. A four-round curtainraiser will round out the card. Os all the scrappers on the bill, Pirrone is the least known here, as he is making his Indianapolis debut in this scrap. Only 21 years old, he already has fought four world's champions—Gorilla Jones, Jackie Fields, Lou Brouillard and Tommy Freeman—and has a knockout record Which includes as victims Andy Divodi, Paul Silvers, Freddy Fitzgerald, Harry Dillon, and others. Brown, Baker and Reyonlds have been seen in competition here. Baker knocked out Jess Akers in impressive fashion here a few weeks ago, and followed up with a kayo win over Bobby Vernon two weeks ago here. Brown’s foremost achievement since his last bout here with Danny Delmont, which he won, was a recent decision gained over Harry Dublinsky at Muncie a few weeks ago. Dublinsky won and lost in two fights here with Tracy Cox.
