By Eddie Ash Choice Toledo Bait Fails to Tempt m m • Feats of Famous ‘Spoke' Are Recalled m m m Sport Notes Picked I p Here and There

pOUNTLESS men long in the service of baseball and experienced in league club and business angles, are puzzled over the actions of Clarence (Pants) Rowland in his reported moves to obtain control of the defunct Toledo A. A. Hens. The guess now is that he was bluffing. Anyway, Clarence announced he was through negotiating, and this after the Toledo club receiver, A1 Reuben, apparently had met all demands. r ,\yn is perplexed, to say the least. Again, maybe the so-called firm of "Rowland. Brennan & Krueger" was a partnership in name only - nobody having any "jack. That was the opinion cx P. re s“J anapolis and it was no surprise locally when word arrived that the poor old Hen ball club was an orphan again. A1 Reuben, receiver, explained his dealings with Rowland as follows. ‘ Originally I asked Rowland to put up a bond of $25,000 as assurance h" would be able to carry on thiough the season, but we lowered that to $12,500 provided the buyer could satisfy us he would be in a position to raise that much more if it was necessary. We asked this guarantee in order that there would be no danger of having the Mud Hens back in our lap in the middle of the season. .. "We also reached an agreement with Rowland over an option on the nark. He wanted the option to run five years. We thought it should be much less Later he seemed to be satisfied wth our three-year plan. He could buy the real estate at any time between this date and MM. • Tne rental for Swaync field this year we set at $4,400, which would nay the taxes and insurance on the property. After this season the renal would be 6 per cent of the $115,000 bond issue plus taxes and msirance. This would amount to $11,300. "Rowland or any other rentor will be given a five-year lease on these terms with an option for renewal for an additional five years. We fuither will take over five players and six optional men from the Cleve and club and cancel its debt of $15,000 for Bill Knickerbocker, shortstop The Cleveland people will then pay us $5,C00 remaining for their rental of Swavne field last season. . "We will turn over the players to the new owner and will give him ihp season to repay the Toledo club.’ . The above agreement sounds sugary to any purchaser with a desire to own a Class A A ball club. The load hardly could j>e made any easier. 'T''RIS SPEAKER, "he old “’Gray Eagle." at the half-century mark, 1 climbs back onto the baseball band wagon as manager of the Kansas City Blues. He has become associated with Lee Keyser, new p re xy of the Kawtown team, who organized a syndicate and purchased !hc franchise. It is said Joe E. Brown, film comedian, helped finance SP<, Anmhcr' member of the new K c. directorate is Bill Rodgers, better known in baseball as "Raw Meat." on account of his appetite foi uncooked steaks. Rodgers has been manager al Des Moines for two yea.s, and. like Keyser, is widely known in the minor leagues. | You haven't, heard much of Speaker in recent years and yet he is one of baseball's immortals and greatest ball hawks who stood them on their feet and made them howl in his heyday. j The fielding qualities of "Spoke," as the boys knew him, and Ty Cobb, are usually a subject for a hot argument whenever the fans commence discussion of baseball greats. Speaker spent more than tw’enty years in the majors and tne players all knew and feared his skill in the outfield and his throwing arm all the way through his career with the Boston Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians. Spoke was a great thrower. His eye for the plate from the gaiden was so uncanny that it once caused Onnie Bush to remark, He throws strikes from the outfield!" And many's the runner the fleet Speaker threw out at home. . During his tenure as manager at Cleveland Tris had a couple of highly successful seasons, bringing a world series flag to the Forest City in 1920, and finishing in the first division a few times. But there came a dark day in his life. Just after Speaker resigned as manager of Cleveland, in 1926, came charges that he and Ty Cobb ; were inplicated in a frame-up game between Cleveland and Detroit j in 1919. That charge broke the heart of Tris. It was said that he knew j of it before it was made public, and that he resigned his job as manager before the blow fell. Although exonerated by Judge Landis. Spoke never got over the blow. He caught on with Washington and Connie Mack's Athletics after that, but didn't stay long. He went to the minors and managed Newark in the International League for a while. Then he drifted out of baseball. Recently, the veteran caught the diamond fever again and evidently is determined to die with his boots on. He is sure to become a fan favorite around the American association if he gets the Blues back on their feet. a u a ana United States Golf Association and Professional Golfers Association oppose the Use of eight-inch cups on the links. Perhaps the officials decided enlarging the cups might have a tendency for the paunchy golfers to enlarge their flapping knickers and obstruct all view' of the course and increase the hazards. a a v an BACKING the jockey rather than the horse, a race track practice that grew popular among bettors at New' Orleans this winter when Gilbert and Mills were running a hot race for riding laurels, has spread to other tracks. The jockey gets the credit if he w’ins. and if he loses the horse is blamed. A lot of baseball fans follow' the same system—they bet on the pitcher rather than the team. dud nun When somebody described Bill Terry, new manager of the New York Giants, as Big Barter and Bargain Man, following his many player deals, another party was unkind enough to say, “Yes, sure. Bill does the bartering and the other fellow gets the bargains.” o a a a a a (~"EORGE GODFREY, the huge Philadelphia Negro pugilist, who spent X several days in Indianapolis before outslapping and outpushing Tiger Jack Fox in the Armory ring last Tuesday, evidently found seme congenial companions here. Gawge w’ants to come back for another visit in the role of a wrestler, and challenges all Hoosier pachyderms. Godfrey weighs 257 and lias taken several flings in the grunting game. It w'ould ae difficult to obtain a hold on Gawge. He's built like a roundhouse.

Off The Dackhoard BY YERN BOXELL

/"\LD JOHN GROUNDHOG saw his shadow Thursday, but it wasn’t as dark and menacing as the glcom hanging over the campus at Indiana U. today. Two days ago that ole debbil Ineligibility robbed Everett Dean of Sally Sudriith. a sophomore guard sensation of 1932. who did not enroll last semester, due to financial trouble, but who wanted to return this semester. And now it seems his successor. Jack Heavenridge of Washington Hatchet fame, is going to toss m the sponge. Heavenridge, one of the outstanding members of the present crop of Big Ten rookies, also reports he is short on shekels and may not be able to return to school this semester. He didn't appear in the lineup against the Mexico Fals Wednesday night. If Heavenridge returns to Washington. Indiana's cage hopes will be lower than the Jordan river in midJuly. tt tt tt For not-so-dark dark horses. watch Martinsville and Logansport. Late starters, ready to shoot! Indiana State goes to Purdue tonight to play Piggy Lambert’s Big Ten fi\e. Furdtie may be surprised, especially if Purdue is not expecting a surprise. The Sycamores have been strengthened for the Boilermaker fray by the return to action* of Bowden, husky guard, who has been out with injuries. tt tt tt One of the least mentioned and yet most valuable of the De Pauws is a 6-foot-2-inch youngster who answers to Isley. He does everything but sweep out the gym. Isley jumps center most of the time, plays forward on offense and guard on defense. tt tt a A couple of hot-shots who arc reading their names in the papers these davs are Proctor of Rainbridge and Williams of Auburn. The big Rainbridge center has connected for ninety-four field goals and twenty-five free throws, a total of ‘ll3 points, in eighteen games, and the Auburn youngster has been averaging twelve points a game. Anderson has tallied 111 out of 13 free throw attempts this season. That's a lot of points. Peru's Tigers, which have won sixteen out of eighteen games this year, boast a squad of eight seniors and two Juniors. How would you like to be the basketball coach at Peru next year. One of tonight's games that will be worth seeing is the Kokomo-Tipton thing at the latter place. Give us Tipton. tt tt tt IT is whispered in the northland that internal dissention had something to do with the tumble of Froebel of Gary from an unbeatable quintet to one that was just waiting to be knocked off. Slim (Frankfort) Bausman can take 'em. The husky Hot Dog chief was handed a lot of razzing by Greencastle fans at the same time his basketball team was being handed a terrific lacing. But the ex-Greencastle coach was right back at them with a smile. Yes sir, he can take 'em. Holy Cross Juniors, victorious in fourteen “of eighteen games this season, will enter the Indianapolis Athletic Club tourney with the following players: W Gearns, R. Teach C. Betzner. O Sullivan. V. Griffin and W Kreig The tourney will be played next Thursday. Friday and Saturday. East Tenth Street Knights will journey to Huntington Saturday to meet the Huntington "Y" Celts. The Celts downed the Knights in a previous tilt. All Knights players expecting to make the trip are requested to be at the gym at 1 SO p m. Saturday. Anderson, Ten Eyck and Woodrum, notice.

members of the official committee, and attend only in an advisory capacity. The rules committee of the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Football Officials announced its proposal to allow five downs instead of the usual four to the team which is in possession of the ball w hen inside its own or the opposition's 20-yard line.

The coaches were . scheduled to consider methods of ' simplifying the game under existing regulations and to arrange a defense against the N. C. A. A. demand for a curb on forward passing.
