By Eddie Ash Borotra Ranks 1932 Stars of Tennis mam Thevenow Is Popular at Pittsburgh m m m Grange and Clark Discussed Again

J POKING hack over a hard year in tennis, Jean Borotra, hero of the 1932 Davis cup defense for France, classified the nine ranking amateur tennis players of the world for the United Press and placed Ellsworth Vines, lanky Californian, above Henri Cochet, once invincible Frenchman. Borotra. modestly enough, did not list himself among the nine best, but ranked them in the following order. I—Ellsworth Vines; 2 Henri Cochet; 3- Wilmer Alllison; 4--ClifTord Sutter; s—Dr. Prenn, Germany; 6—Perry, England; 7—Von Cramm, Germany; B—Austin, Britain; 9 Crawford, Australia. In a general way, Borotra's selection corresponds with that of A. Wallis Myers, veteran British player and WTiter, except that while Myers puts Borotra in third position, Borotra fails to write his own name among the leaders. “In fairness, you can do nothing except lead off with Vines for 1932 although there is no indication that Cochet is falling, or that his tennis is not as good as it ever was,” Borotra explained. “Vines is a rising star and that is all there is to it. He conquered Cochet at Wimbledon, at Auteuil and in the American championships, so that is proof that his tennis is somewhat superior to that of Cochet. “The two Germans, Prenn and Von Gramm, are rising in value and they will keep Germany in the Davis Cup zone finals for several years to come. Lacoste can not be classed for 1932, for he did not play in any major events.” Borotra insists he will not play in the 1933 Davis Cup singles, but the French Federation is not so certain. On the books, Cochet. Borotra, and Christian Bossus are booked as singles defenders. Lacoste has said that he will not try to get in shape for cup play next summer because of a too great strain on his health. a a a a a a HOOSIER IS IMPORTANT COGNVITH PIRATES TOMMY THEVENOW, the baseball pride of Madison, Ind.. is sure of his old job with the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to Smoky City scriveners. He acted as utility infielder for Manager George Gibson last year and proved a valuable asset. The Hoosier played twenty-nine games at shortstop and twenty-two at third base and delivered in both spots when the Bucs were hit by injuries. The Hoosier is a handy man on the innerworks and is tagged ss an important factor in the build-up of the team for next season. Pie Traynor is getting along in years and hardly can be expected to perform every day at the hot corner. Moreover, Floyd Vaughn, regular shortstop, is a youngster of only one year's major league experience and if the kid cracks at any time Thevenow will be there to plug the hole. Tommy is 30 years old and has been in the big show since 1925 when he was taken on by the St. Louis Cardinals. He was a shining light in the 1926 world series and although not much of a hitter there have not been many short fielders better on the defense. He batted ..237 in 1932. The Hoosier has had more than his share of bad luck in the way of injuries and accidents and he's due to have a long stretch of fortune. Thevenow is possessed of a fine throwing arm and seldom cuts a bad one loose. Another thing, there are few infielders more expert on double plays. At this time the opinion in the majors makes the Pirates the favorite for the 1933 National League pennant and Thevenow stands an excellent chance of sharing in another -world series melon. u a a tt a a HERE’S PROOF OF ZUPPKE’S STATEMENT MANY football followers questioned a statement used in this column some time ago that described Potsy Clark, Indianapolis, as the choice of Bob Zuppke as the greatest grid player developed during the Zuppke reign at Illinois university. The grid fans as a rule place Red Grange as high over all at Urbana. Here is Zuppke's statement, in part, as reported in eastern newspapers: "Grange was a great player in many departments of the game, but he was not as good an all-round man as Potsy Clark, my greatest quarter back. I’ve never seen his equal. Grange was one of the immortals in football circles at Illinois, but his chief ahility was balltoting. Potsy Clark was not only a great open field runner, but he was equally as good on defense and he ran his teams with a smoothness and fineness that I never have seen since he left school.” ana a a a AN ex-pugilist requests some space to give local boxing fans a few pointers on preliminary boys and their earnings. His letter follows: ‘‘You go to a fight show which lias a couple of first-class boys matched in the main event. The prelims are made up of home town boys or boys living near the city. Practically no traveling expenses. Frequently the action in the prelims saves the card if the main go flops. "The prelim fighters are presented with $lO or sl2. A manager usually cuts in for one-fourth and if the lad receives sl2 his pay is reduced ,to v s 9. Out of this he figures about 40 cents for a meal after weighing in. He pays 50 cents for bandages and $2 for gym dues for a month That leaves him $6 to last until his next fight in two or three weeks—maybe. “Mort.'ver, the boxer is required to pay $5 for a state license fee a year. The lain are entitled to a better break. Give the boys something to fight for and the fans a fight for their money. These lads may be main event fighters some day." a a a a a a The campaign of 1933 will be the twenty-second for Herb Pennock, in the American League. The slender southpaw has taken good care of himself and continues to be ranked as one of the smartest hurlers in baseball. It will be his eleventh year with the Yankees. Herb broke in with the Athletics in 1912. In the world series last fall. Pennock dazzled the Chicago Cubs when Manager McCarthy twice used him as relief pitcher. The Bruins were stopped cold.

Ben Jeby Grabs Technical K. O. Triumph Over Frankie Battaglia

BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Telegram Sports Editor NEW YORK. Jan. 14.—The Ghetto is back in the cauliflower business. One Benjamin Jebaltosky brought New York's share of the middleweight champoins of America to the east side Friday night—that part of the big town where the herring is sacred and The Cantor is not always The Kid From Spain. He beat Frankie Battaglia, handsome Canadian Italian, in twelve rounds at the Garden. nn It was a technical knockout and as such, a victory for the technocrats. Referee Jack Britton, making his big time debut in the judicial grays, picked up the marbles in the twelfth round when it was evident that nothing could be gained by allowing the exhibition to continue. nan IT w-as a wise decision by the old timer. Battaglia’s right eye was closed tigher than a reformer’s mind, the dynamite in his punch had turned to talcum powder, and he was beginning to bog down like a wheezy dowager on a mountain climb. He bounced to the canvas twice for nine counts—in the second and eleventh rounds. The amateur mystics at the ringside wanted it to go another round. Seemingly this would have proved something. Battaglia was born on Friday the Thirteenth. He was fighting for the championship on Friday the Thirteenth. Wherefore it was in the cards thf\t he should win or lose in the thirteenth. It develops that Britton isn't a mystic. “Who me? Hell, no! I'm a Knight of Columbus.” tt tt MR. JEBALTOSKY. who is known to the boys around the temple as Ben Jeby, reversed the result of his previous meeting with Frankie when he was knocked out in the first round at Chicago. This entitles him to credit from eveyrbody but the bankers, and they are the only birds who count. n n tt Whether Jebaltosky would have won if he hadn’t closed the Bat's peeper—and it was completely closed as early as the fifth round —is a question. I am inclined to think he would. He's plenty game, tougher than whalebone and hits hard enough to score Shanty Hogan from third, anyway. U B tt STILL. I don’t think you'll ever be rating Jebaltosky with the Ketchels. the Ryans or the Grebs. There isn't must about him that is exciting He's got about as much color as invisible ink. He doesn't knock you down, he wears you down. But in the end he manages to collect—so what? m a As far as I was concerned the Bat made the fight Friday night. He launched a rally in the fifth round that was the nigh spot of the battle —the one brilliant episode in an otherwise pardon-mv-yawn exhibition. It was a rally that came close to bringing him victory by a knockout. a a IT was the Yanks against the Red Sox after the fifth round. You can’t spot your opponent one good eye and do much good for yourself. BeE sides, the Bat was taking as much punishment in his correr as in the ring. His handlers were trying to pry the eye open as if it were a Pullman window. The primitive surgery of a prize fight knife man is not exactly a beautiful thing to watch.

Miller Is Ring King Cincy Feather Gains Title With Disputed Win Over Paul. By United Press CHICAGO. Jan. 14.—Freddie Miller, pug-nose youngster from Cincinnati, is the new featherweight champion of the world, in the ring territory governed by the National Boxing Association. Before a crowd of 7,000 Miller Friday night lifted the crow r n from Tommy Paul of Buffalo, who won it last May and lost it the first time he elected to put the bauble at stake. They went ten rounds at the Chicago stadium. Miller, a southpaw by nature and a puncher by instinct, had to come from behind to earn the decision of the referee and one judge. The other judge voted for Paul. The United Press score sheet showed five rounds for Paul, three for Miller, and called two even. After the verdict the crowd vented its feelings with prolonged boos. Paul galloped through the first three rounds, using a stinging right as he slid under Miller’s jabs. He tired in the late rounds, while Miller jabbed with his right from a distance and got the better of the milling in close. It was not a spectacular fight and the consensus was that Paul did not take advantage of his many chances. Hanover Grabs One-Point Edge Bjt United Press HANOVER, Ind., Jan. 14. A free throw by Rainey in the final seconds of play gave Hanover a 31-to-30 victory over the Oakland City college basketball team here Friday night.
