By Eddie Ash N et Details Idea of Rough Hockey Life m m m Ninth Season With Giants for Mel Ott mm m % Guyon Gives Redskin Name ‘History’

gj PORTS fans of Iloosierdom know little about the game called ice hockey, but it’s one of the most violent entertainments in the professional field and it takes a lot of gizzard on the part of the players to bear up under the punishment. A crowd of 15,000 swarmed to a league tilt in Detroit last week. Hockey stars are paid in the manner of baseball pastimers and big money exchanges hands frequently when player deals are made. Jimmy Burchard of the Newspaper Enterprise Association obtained an interview recently with Bill Cook, veteran member of the New York Rangers and asked the famous ice ace to describe the roughest game of his career. Cook is a rignt wing and many times nas been labelled king in that position. The veteran permitted his memory to roll back and lio picked out a game staged in 1925 as the roughest for him. Cook was with the Saskatoon Sheiks at the rime and the Sheiks opposed the Regina team. There was a fight and a riot and Cook wound up in the hospital. The spark was set off in the third period when Phil Stevens, a Saskatoon player warrior, was carried to the dressing room for stitches. It was the signal for a wholesale explosion. Every one of the ten players on the ice pulled off his gloves and began punching. Players on the bench mingled in fistic combat. Spectate! s, when not joining in the pugilistic fun, hurled chairs and everything else handy. Harassed officials banished gladiators to the penalty box in bunches. But before the battling ended, Cook went down during a frenzied melee in front of the Regma goalmouth. A skate flashed, and the left side of his face was ripped open. Many persons still believe Red McCusker, the Regina goalie, cut me up, said Bill. "But it wasn't Red. In last, I'm not sure yet who did it.” The teams finished out the contest with four men to a .side. In the hospital, as they were putting nine stitches in his face, Cook heard the news. His team had been walloped, 3 to 1. JUVENILE VETERAN BORN IN 1909 A 1 lENTION was called Wednesday to outfielder Melvin Ott, the ■Tn. juvenile veteran of the majors, a player of the first rank, who seldom Is skyrocketed in the headlines. We said he was 24 years old, but what we meant is hell be 24 when the 1933 National League campaign gets under way. Mel was born at Gretna, La.. March 2, 1909. Think that over-—only 23 years old and with eight years in the big league behind him. At the age when the average diamond star is barely reaching his prime or just getting under way as a major mainstay, Ott j will be beginning his ninth season with the New York Giants. Mel batted .318 in 1932, tied Chuck Klein for National League home j run honors, each collecting thirty-eight, and played in 154 games, the complete schedule. Ott bats left handed and throw’s right. He is not a stalwart, standing 5 feet 9 inches and weighing about 165. Mel has led the senior circuit in bases on balls three times, proving his eye is sharp and his power respected by the mound artists. Klein nosed out Ott by one homer for the National League circuit drive title in 1929, forty-three to forty-two. On the next-to-the-last day j ol the season that year the Giants and Phillies met in a double header and Klein's pitching mates issued six walks in a row’ to Melvin to pre- j vent him from parking the horsehide over the fence. It is presumed, of course, the Giants also schemed to put obstacles in Chuck's home run : path as the curtain fell on the campaign. Ott was taken on by the Giants without previous league experience in 1925 at the age of 16. He was a kid catcher, but was in no games with the Giants that year, merely passing the season as a bench w’armer picking up big league pointers. John McGraw changed him to the outfield and the lad took part in thirty-five games in 1926, mainly as a pinch hitter, and batted .383. He was in eighty-two games in 1927 and hit .282. In 1928 Ott saw service in 124 games and smacked the ball to the tune of .322. The season of 1929 saw Mel in 150 games and he finished with a mark of .328, the year he blasted forty-two homers. The southerner boosted his figures in 1930 to .349, fell away to .292 in 19,51 and then climbed again in 1932 to .318 and thirty-eight homers. He reached base at least once in every game except fourteen last season He drew 100 walks, batted in 123 runs and scored 119 runs. ft si a c ts a THERE WAS BEN, READY WITH TIN CUP TOE GUYON, the Chippewa Indian, formerly with the Louisville •I Colonels, put a fast one over on his old pal, Ben Tincup, also a lormer Colonel, during a celebration banquet in Louisville recently. Joe w’as asked to make a speech and took the floor and told of the e&rly I customs of Indians. He said: “Our tribes had no knives or forks. Wei killed game and made souns and stews of the meat. Then with tin i cuds we would ladle the soup or stew, lift to our mouths and let it trickle in. There was one of the Cherokees who never went without a tin cud, so scared was he that he might possibly at some time be unprepared to eat because of having no implement available with which to ladle his stew, so they named that fellow Tincup, and he is with us tonight, Mr. Ben Tincup, the American Association's newest umpire. Where is he? Oh, yes, there he is—over there by that KEG, and what is it he has in his hands —a tincup!” n tt a tt tt tt A member of the local sports writing fraternity has gone to Florida and some of his friends say part of his mission will be to carry on research work in wild game and bird life. Put Woodland Echoes on the victrola, boys. a tt a it tt a According to Red Grange, the famous gridder, among the greatest footballers he played against while toting the pigskin for Illinois was Paul Hinkle. Chicago end, now Butler athletic director and basket coach The other greatest end opposing him during his collegiate career was Benny Oosterbaan of Michigan, Grange says. a it a a o tt IF eight-inch golf cups are accepted there won't be much to blow about when an ace shot is made. The Hole In One Club will lose prestige and fold up. So many holes in one have been reported the last two years it's a wonder the links officials don't shorten the width of the cup rather than discuss lengthening it. There always will be clown duffers, however, even if the cup is made the size of the Purdue drum.

organizations got in touch with similar organizations in Anderson and a historical document, the Treaty of 1933. is drawn. But, after all, a peace treaty is only a scrap of paper (so we heard), and the boys probably will go trip- ; ping, pushing and shoving their way j over the hardwood, much to the joy of the fans, most of whom pay their dough just to boo anyhow. tt a tt Eleanor of Tech is verv much nut nut because the fans have been giving Leroy Edwards, tallest of the Techs, what is generally known on Washington boulevard as “the bird.” Miss Eleanor must remember that to be booed is a mark of distinction—a fairly accurate sign of greatness. Edwards is big and an established star, and he’d probably be razzberried even if he stayed on the bench. C. N. L. of Teeh would like to know if the fact that ole’ Backboard picked Vincennes to win the 1932 championship had aynthing to do with the late start of this column. And then adds that his big five includes Tech. Loganspori. |*eru, Anderson and Froebcl of Gary, which isn’t so bad for a guy who can think of a crack like that first one. Your correspondent is in receipt of one bottle of Celcrv-Vescc (a home town product) which is good for “nervous disorders” and hangovers, “baseball, football, basketball and highball.’ which he, is saving for the special use of Robert Stranahan of the Newcastle Shanahan’s next Saturday night after the Trojans have battled Tech, lie'll be nervous. 8 tt B WHEN you mention , “Happy New Year” to Monk Younger, the Virginia Poly basketball coach, I look for the nearest exit and don’t i walk, run. Here’s the reason why, in chronological order: L—Scrapner Dav. sophomore star, unable to return to college. Jan. 2—Bennv Palmer, crack guard. Ineligible—behind in studies. Jan. 3—Jaul Wolfe, veteran center, sprained ankle—out two weeks. Jan. 4 —Bob Craig, new “find.” auit school to go to work. Jan. s—The freshmen whipped what was left of the varsitv. Jan. 6—Kemn Kibler. promising sophomore. signed un for extra studies and dropped basketball. What, no eggs thrown at the referees? 8 a Although he's third in the standings. Edwards of Tech still tops the averages in North Central conference individual scoring. He's averaged thirteen points each game. Land of Richmond is next with 8.4. McMahan, Jeff of Lafayette forward, tops the scoring list with 71 points, followed by Childers of Anderson with 69 and Edwards with 65. Frankfort’s invasion of Logansport Friday night should prove tw’o things.
