By Eddie Ash Uolumhus Birds Think Well of Pitchers tt m m Sharkey Shows Keen Eye for Business u tt tt Sports Shorts Found Here and There

pOLLOWERS of the Columbus Red Birds are doing a lot of stove league shouting over their pitching staff that has been lined up for the new campaign in the Hickey loop, and if the Buckeye bosses plug up holes in other departments of the team the other American Association clubs are going to face a problem in matching the strength of the St. Louis Cardinal farm. The Birds say they have a “bis: five" mound crew picked out already consisting of Sylvester Johnson, Bill Lee, Paul Dean, right-handers, and Bud Teachout and Clarence Heise. southpaws. In a second group of availables are Ash, Blake, Chapman, Grabowski and Lyons, and a third group of flingers is made up of Cross, Bryant, Osborne, Wright and Brown. Lyons Brown and Grabowski are lefties. Fact us. the Red Bud fans are wondering how the management is going to pick the best out of the second and third groups, which consist of a mixture of veterans and promising youngsters. President MacPhail is out with the statement he will strengthen other positions in short order, and predicts the Birds will be in the pennant running light lrom the outset. He says of his pitchers: “In my opinion our staff is better balanced and has greater possibilities than at any other time since the Cardinals gained control of the club." Columbus infielders at present are Burgess Whitehead, Riggs. Baker, Keane, Rothrock and Gilbert. Riggs and Rothrock also can play the outfield. The only catchers oaned by the club now are Sprinz and West. For the outfield the candidates are Anderson, Cullop, Lebourveau, Blades, Lewis Whitehead and Riggs and Rothrock if they are crowded ofT the inner works. The team is short of a first sacker, but Cullop is fair at that position in a pinch and MacPhail expects to land a regular for that job before the 1933 bell rings. IT’S THE WAY OF THE FIGHT RACKET SPORTS scribes in the east report that Jack Sharkey, world's heavyweight, champion, visited his stablemate, Ernie Schaaf, in whom he also has a managerial financial interest, when Ernie was in a hospital recently suffering from flu. It is said Jack grew very friendly to the youth, promising him that if he (Sharkey) ever fought again, he would force his opponent to post a forfeit beforehand binding him (the opponent) to fight Schaaf in case he (the opponent) licked Sharkey. It’s the way of the fight game. Always business angles whenever there is any amount of coin in sight—protection in case you lose. INDIANAPOLIS CHARLIE LOGAN TAKES BRIDE HERE'S an interesting society item received from New Orleans: "Mrs. Maurice Mayo Levi announces the marriage of her daughter, Irma, to Mr. Charles Hilary Logan, Friday, the twenty-seventh of January. At home, after the tenth of February, 4506 St. Charles avenue. New Orleans.” Yes, the bridegroom is none other than “Indianapolis Charlie” Logan. He used to be the dashing assistant sports editor of The Times and after that was the star center of the Wabash college football team for four years. a tt tt a tt tt STADIUM BLEACHER TREE IS NO MORE 'T'HE tree beyond the Perry stadium right field wall that apparently JL was made of rubber trunk and limbs is no more. It used to hold a couple of dozen free customers, old and young, and they perched high in th"' branches to see the local Indians in action. Stadium patrons were wondering when none of the tree sitters fell from aloft, but no a: old nts were reported except one time, when one lad was plugged with a rock tossed by a rival sitter.

The Somerville high school of Boston is entitled to some sort of a record for producing big league ball players. Shanty Hogan, Danny MacFayden, Pie Traynor and Horace Ford are among its graduates. The best marathon runners, according to Lawson Robertson, Yankee Olympic team head coach, are small men who "scuttle” along without apparent technique or form. Governor Guy B.

Off The Dackboard BY VERN BOXELL

WHAT happened to Anderson?”—that was the question fired at your correspondent from all angles today by bewildered tans. And it you can tell ole Backboard what happened to Tech at Connersville. Froebel at Valparaiso, and Vincennes at Bedford, to mention a few, then you have the answer to the first question. Upsets are becoming so common they aren't news any more. A game that runs true to form gets the play. City fans should take Muncie's 43 to 29 triumph over Anderson on the Indians' home hardwood with the proverbial grain of salt—make mine two grains. Joe. Not that Everett Case would go around throwing away ball games, especially conference games and extra-especially games with Muncie. But the Bearcats aren't that good—unless Pete Jolley has been fooling the boys all along. Jolley can coach basketball for ole Backboard's shekels any day in the week, but he didn't have the material to work with this year. He used the same players against Anderson he did against Tech and Frankfort in recent starts. And the Bearcats lost both of these games. Muncie’s improved play probably can be pinned on the slender shoulders of young Bob Schuck. An allstate pastimer in his sophomore year and a great ball player last year, he started this season in mediocre style. He appeared tired of basketball. Buthe came to life Saturday against Anderson, with six field goals. With Schuck and Kcinfeldor in the lineup and playing in their best, Muncie is tough—tough enough to be among the sixteen finalists (with apologies to Mr. Stranahan). But Muncie 43, Anderson 29—you figure it. tt tt The old theory that a bird in the hand is worth two in Kokomo was proven by the Beareats. On the first tip-off of the same, Kleinfelder pumped in a field coal from the renter eirrle. Came the second tip-off end Kleinfelder galloped' under the hoop for another two points. Two plays, fifteen seconds—and Anderson trailed, 4 to fi. Ter* than a minute later. Boh Srhuck fired one in—three shots, three field goals for Muncie. In just three minutes, it was 111 to ft, Muncie, and they could have stopped the game right there as far as Anderson was concerned. The count was 23 to 10 at half time. tt n tt TECH, after holding the spotlight from the start of the campaign, must now move over and share the glare with Shortridge. Kenny Peterman's boys bounced back from that city tourney trouncing by the Techs in gallant fashion. A victory over Cathedral is worth plenty of cheering—but a decision over Shclbyviiie is a real achievement. It was Shelbyville’s second setback in eighteen starts—and the Mackmcn haven't been playing in the minors, as you no doubt know. a a Newcastle came to town Saturday night to play Tech. Bob Stranahan also came to town. Newcastle lost—Stranahan won. Bedford fans don't know just what to do. Bloomington tagged the Stonecutters on the chin Friday night, 2ft to It, and on the very next night, snapped a threegame losing streak bv plastering Vincennes, a very tough job these days. Red Barrows piays both ends of the floor for Bloomington. He performs at backguard and then romps down the floor for field goals. H,r got four against Bedford. Washington never lost a game to Cen- | tral of Evansville until last Friday. Frankfort never has lost to Washington. The Hot Dog jinx worked against the Hatchets again Saturday. Froebel of Gary won fourteen in a row. When Valparaiso held the Blue Devils to a two-point decision recently, Steel City fans saw the hand-writing on the wall? It happened Saturday, Yalpo getting the nod. Everett Case was on the sidelines when Tech tumbled to Connersville Friday. Mr. J Case and Mr. Campbell arc crazy like foxes. Incidentally, Tech hit fifteen goals in thirty-nine shots against Connersville, I and that is Class A hitting. You can now mark Peru down as a real contender. Minus the services of Vignary, star guard, and playing on the Trojans' court, the Tiger grabbed a 27 to 24 win orer Newcastle. tt tt tt Columbia U. repudiated Technocracy. So did Connersville.
