By Eddie Ash ;£**** J Pirates We*l Fixed for 1933 Start Hast Discusses Status of Jess Harper Western Rider Is in Choice Turf Spot
GIBSON', chief of the Pittsburgh Pirates, is all set to go places. Nearly all of his athletes are signed up and he knows who will be stationed at every position. In other words, he has a tried regular at every post. Gibby’s worry this spring, therefore, will consist largely of merely getting the boys in condition. The National League runners-up of 1932 have been made the winter book pennant favorites for 1933. The Bucs have bolstered their outfield and reserve strength since last year and if none of the pastimers lias bad luck and escapes injuries and form reversal Pittsburgh fans seem destined for a big year. Gus Suhr no longer is a doubtful quantity at first base, the reliable Pie Traynor is at third and the 1932 rookies, Piet and Vaughan, made good at second and short, respectively. Backing up the infield will be the Hoosier veteran, Tommy Thevenow, capable at second, third and short. Freddie Lindstrom, obtained from the Giants, and Lloyd Waner and Floyd Waner will be the outfield mainstays, and Manager Gibson thinks the trio will be the class of the league. And there is good second string fly chasing talent available. Early in 1932 Gibson was uncertain about his catching staff, but Earl Grace developed into a star and the other promising backstops are Padden and Finney. Evidently the destiny of the Pirates hinges on the ability of the mound staff to deliver. The other departments apparently are fixed. a a a a a a UPSET OF N. I). BY PITT BROUGHT UP NEWSPAPERS in the east are beginning to inquire about the future status of J. C. Harper. Notre Dame athletic director Some time ago The Times heard Harper would be "out" and Hunk Anderson would stay on as head football coach for 1933. News of the new contract for Anderson was announced recently and nothing definite was released for publication concerning Harper except that his present contract does not expire until spring and that the university authorities were not in a position to discuss at thus time a matter that doesn’t require a decision until the day arrives for anew agreement to be signed. A story in the New York World-Telegram says, in part: "Is Jess Harper on his way out as Notre Dame's athletic director? Reports that such is the case are in the air—in fact, have been whispered about ever since a certain locker room incident that occurred during the visit of the Notre Dame eleven to Pittsburgh, where it suffered its first and most unexpected defeat last fall. “In just what manner the Pittsburgh incident enters the picture has j not been made public. Only those intimate with Notre Dame affairs are aware of the details. Some say a word battle occurred in the locker room. Others aver that blows were struck. “Not a few attributed the Irish defeat that afternoon to the internal controversy and its effect on the players and their morale. “It was after that game that there came statements to the effect Anderson would not be re-engaged as head coach and with them the assumption that he was to be made the ’goat’ of the affair. Now. with Anderson signed for 1933 and Harper’s contract not yet renewed, the suggestion comes that the athletic director is the one to be affected." According to grapevine reports that trickled to Indianapolis following the Pitt-Irish' game last fall, no battle occurred in the Notre Dame locker room. It was said, however, that Harper visited there between halves and used some harsh words. It also was said that Harper made another excursion to the dressing room after the game and lauded the Pittsburgh team while the dejected Irish warriors were on the verge of tears. * B B B B B B ( OAST JOCKEY LOOKS FOR RICH YEAR 808 JONES, young California jockey, has a great chance to be labeled the highest paid rider on American race tracks during the 1933 turf season. Jones. w/o gained most of his fame in Chicago last season, has a new contract with Willis Sharpe Kilmer that calls for asalary o i $12,000 plus 10 per cent of the money won by his mounts. Since the Kilmer stable is one of the most pretentious in America, it is not unreasonable to figure that the horses will earn $200,000 during 1933. Such a figure would boost Jones' earnings to the $32,000 mark. Moreover, during spare time, he may add SIO,OOO or $15,000 by riding for other owners. Jones’ home in California is near the old Tia Juana track and he learned to ride there some years ago. He developed into a sensation at Arlington Park last summer and Ben Creech, trainer for W. R. Coe, got his signature on a contract. Jones rode Ladysman, winter book favorite for the Kentucky Derby, to all his victories. Late last fall, Creech quit Coe to join the Kilmer forces, and Jones went along. BUB B B B There was a horse that finished eleventh in a race at Hialeah recently that would have paid $3,800.80 to $1 had he won the event.

Vance May Land W ith Cards for Derringer Veteran Slab Ace Not Likely to Appear in Brooklyn Uniform This Year; Dodgers Interested in Young St. Louis Right-Hander. BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Feb. 2 Dazzy Vance, an institution in Brooklyn during eleven seasons of pitching for the Dodgers, appears virtually certain of being traded before the training season opens. In fact, he may be shifted this week-end, when officials of the Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals meet before the baseball writers’ dinner
Sunday night. Manager Max Carey would like to trade Vance for Paul Derringer, the 26-year-old right-hand flinger of the Cards. Carey figures Derringer is a comer. Max might be induced to throw in one or two lesser lights with Dazzy. Last season. Derringer won eleven and lost fourteen games for the Cards, but Carey believes he would do better with Brooklyn. Although Dazzy is approaching 40 and had a poor season—for him—in 1932, Carey is more concerned with his frame of mind than his ability. He believes the big. fast-ball thrower still has a few brilliant seasons left if he is moved to different scenery. Last season he won twelve and lost eleven. In 1932, Vance took a heavy salary cut and showed unfavorable reactions throughout the season. They cut his salary again in the 1933 contract. Dazzy

still a great drawing card who might be a valuable gate attraction in St. Louis. Vance came to the Dodgers from Now Orleans early in 1922 to launch a major league career approaching those of Matthewson, Johnson and Waddell. For many seasons he reigned as strikeout king.

Down the Alievs With Local Pin-Spillers BY LEFTY LEE
Add the name of Clarence Mack to the long list of 700 shooters, the Fall City League star rolling 730 with games of 248, 213 and 2t9 during the Indianapolis League play Wednesday. Schleimer added 604 to this total, but with Moran. Stich. Bassett and McCann tossing in counts of 653, 635, 623 and 607 for St. Phillip A. C., the Lager team was lucky to save one game. St. Phillip's three-game total was 3,084. Wheeler Lunch also won two games from S?ven Up. despite a 640 count - by Bert Bruder, Bud Schloch and Wimberly each scoring 622 for the Wheeler team, Fishbach Grille did not have a single 200 count, a rare feat for an open league, and as a result, they were easy victims for the Coca Cola boys, who won as they pleased when Kansen. Moore and Murphy rolled totals of 652, 624 and 619. After losing the first two games to Barbasol, the second by 6 points, the Marott team avoided a shutout when they won the final game. 1,032 to 1,017. Barbaro! totaled 3,117. Pritchett'rolling 686; Johnson, 623; O’Grady, 618, and Carmin, 604. Marotts 3 038 showed L. Fox and Rasmussen counting 672 and 628. Thomas Lunch was over the 1.000 mark their first two games, but dropped to 852 to lore the final game to J. P. Johnson Company. Middaw's 646 total featured this series. Hardin checked his slump when he rolled a total of 633 for Gregory and Appel. West and Fulton added 615 each to give the Gregory team an odd game win over Underwood Transfer. After feeling the satisfaction of his first 600 count a week ago. Dr. Day roiling in the Medical Society League, liked it so well he repeated this week with the league, leading total of 609. The race for top honors in this loop is really a battle, the terns captained by Drs. Gick, Bermin and Rupel being separated by a single game, the Gick team still leading bv this margin. Full credit for his improved game goes to Carl Hardin, says Dr. Day. who has put in a flock of practice games under "I Hits 'Em." Jess Pritchett has partitioned off four alleys with a canvas slide and will give lessons to new bowlers and other bowlers eager to improve their game. The only charge made for these lessons will be to cover the expense of the use of the alley. Pritchett will be the instructor. The Illinois alleys will stage a 215 singles sweepstakes. Saturday and Sunday, an entrv fee of $1 per series being charged. Winners will receive 40. 30, 20 and 10 per cent of the prize money. At the Pritchett alleys the final weekend of plav in the head pin tournament for men and women, will be the attraction. The women bowlers roll their games on the second floor, as the men use the third floor drives. The Coca Cola team of the Uptown League finally dropped below the 3 000 mark, and as a result they lost two games to Harper Bros. Garage. Windach and Lauer rolled 639 and 604 for the "Cokes" but Cline's 678 offset this work. Tipton-Lytie Cigar also won two from Sherer Electric despite a 614 count by Wilson. Burton rolled 604 for the winners. Augvstiner returned to form after dropping the first game to Citizens Gas, rolling 1.087 and 997 to leave the drives with the odd game to their credit Shaw. Hunt and Spencer had 663. 609 and 600 for the winners. It looked like a bad night for Seimeir Towel during their series with Seven Up. but Spotts tossed in a 235 at the finish. and Seimeir avoided the shutout. 1.001 to 990 Baker and Behrens rolled 644 and 623 lor Seven Up. as Spotts stopped at 627. To keep things even all the wav the Bader Coffee tram also folded up in their final gam? after taking the first two from City Candy. Plavers who starred during this set were Link. 667; Thomas. 612: Millington. 631. and Bader. 614. Holt again starred during the Citizens Gas Company plnv on the Uptown alleys, closin' ’3B #r,d 203 after a 163 start, to total 604. Gibbs displayed his strike ball for the benefit rs the G.

GREENCASTLE, Ind., Feb. 2. They thought Chicago was hot when Mrs. O’Leary's discontented cow kicked over the lantern. But they hadn't heard of Greencastle's Tiger Cubs then. C. E. Edmondson’s Purple and White hardwood warriors walloped Frankfort here Wednesday night, 45 to 10. but that’s not half of it. Greencastle was a “five-alarm” conflagration Wednesday night. The combined efforts of the Indianapolis Are department and state arson squad couldn’t have stopped ’em. When a prep team hits one-third of its shots, it’s cause for cheering. But when nine young men get out there and pump away at two little round rings for an average of .567 you've seen something worthy of of provoking hysterics. That’s Greencastle Wednesday night. In thirty-seven flips the Tiger Cubs connected twenty-one j tiroes. In the first sixteen minutes of play the Cubs took fifteen shots and collected on nine of them. During the intermission they cooled off and hit only twelve out of twentytwo chances in the final stanza! tt tt tt POOR. Frankfort! It was a charity game, and the Hot Dogs did all the taking—on the chin. The upstaters were bottled up tighter than your favorite beverage. The best they could do in the first half was two gratis tosses—not a field goal. The count was 17 to 2. Greencastle's defense “cracked” in the second half and the Hot Dogs got two two-pointers. Frankfort had Dlenty of shots in the first half, but most of them were of the hurried, off-balance variety. Being off-balance didn't stop Greencastle's scoring, however.

By United Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Feb. 2.~ Sir Malcolm Campbell today was to supervise final adjustments on his record-shattering Bluebird automobile, despite weariness from travel and weakness from influenza. The slender, middle-aged landspeed champion arrived Wednesday night from New York for his attempt to beat his own world record of 253.968 miles an hour. The runs will be made on the beach in a week or so.
Hurst, snappy guard, swished one through the drapes from a difficult angle while kneeling on the floor. Next week, he’s going to try shooting from a prone position while sliding into third base —and he’ll probably connect. a a a OFF their showing Wednesday night and the reports which have been drifting into your correspondent’s desk the last few weeks, there are but two teams who appear as well or better equipped to wear Mr. Ihsaa’s 1933 crown than the Tiger Cubs—take a bow, Tech, and you too. Anderson. There’s plenty of natural ability . on the Cub squad and four of the five regulars are near or over the six-foot mark. Edmonson has given the Tiger Cubs some snappy plays, block and otherwise, which they clicked off in high class style for under the basket shots (which, we repeat, they made) Wednesday. For all-round bal playing, there aren't many centers better than big Jess McAnally, Girnblc prize winne r last March. He'll control the tip against most of his pivot rivals, and Greencastle specializes in plays from ' tip-off. Big jess gallops back and forth between the foul line phot and goalguarding zones. He’s been doing it for three years now and it's easy for him. He can "poosh-’em-up” on the pivot shot, but his chief stock in trade is defense ar.d grabbing the leather off the backboard to start Cub drives down the floor. tt c a HIS chief helper is Hurst, an allstate performer last year who . has come back after a slump. He's a sparkplug, swift on the dribble with a dead-eye for the doughnut. This will be the third state tournament in a row for Hurst and McAnnally (sure Greencastle will bo there). Two years ago they played, in the finals, and last year in the semi-finals. Champions beat them both times—Muncie and Newcastle. Hurst and Mac are aim nr high this year, and with pals like Ham- . mond, Campbell, Godfrey and Seeley to help them, may connect. Hammond and Campbell are two tall forwards, fast and powerful. Godfrey, smallest of the first five, performs capably at guard and afco knows what to do in a scoring way, while Seeley is a reserve who fits In wherever Coach Edmonson needs replacement.
