By Eddie Ash Old Honus Was Pilot for Brief Spell m m m Bronson Promoting Again Down in Florida m a m Alterations Improve Downtown ‘Arena’

VV/UHN John I’eter (Honus) Wagner, the Flying Dutchman of years gone by, was appointed coach of the Pittsburgh Pirates, his old team, recently, many fans wondered if the famous veteran ever tried the managerial end of big league baseball. He was the ace high short stop over a long stretch of seasons and one of the best hitters in history. Few diamond followers know that Honus was a major pilot for a r.hort spell and it was at Pittsburgh, where he gained most of his fame. He joined the Bugs in the rarly 1900 sand immediately blasted his way to st ii dom. Hans retired as a player in 1917, sixteen years ago, and seldom tmke into the headlines after that. Big Bowlegs tried various pursuits to get along in the world and enjoyed only fair luck. He dabbled a little in semi-pro ball as a manager and roach of western Pennsylvania nines and also tried his hand at politics. It is said the world has been unkind to old Honus in recent years and Pittsburgh club officials made a populartiy move when they gave hr.n a job. The baseball Tiles nr" not clear regarding Wagner s short term as Pirat'- manager, but it was in 1916 or 'l7, and was only for a few days, wc believe. One record says it was in ’l6 and other books say 'l7. At any rate this writer thinks Wagner succeeded Jimmy Callahan during midseason in 'l6 or ’l7 about July 1 and resigned within a week to be succeeded by Hugo Bezdek. According to Hans at the time he did not seek the managerial post, didn’t like it and didn't want it. Grover Hartley and Otis Crandall will be other Pirate coaches under George Gibson and Hans will have charge of instructing the infielders, the youngsters especially, Tony Piet, second baseman; Floyd Vaughan, shortstop, and Gus Suhr, first sacker. “But I don't, want to stop there,’’ he said. “I want to be of every possible assistance to Manager Gibson and want to help in every way I can to make the Pirates the National League champions.” Wagner led the National League in hitting many times, was a sensational base runner, a vizard on defense despite a rather awkward fielding style, and a short stop of whom it was said: “He never made the wrong play.” tt a a tt a tt HORSKSHOE KAY RETURNS TO FISTIANA RAY BRONSON is back in the fight game. He couldn't resist the . smell of the resin dust and the thump of the gloves. The former Indianapolis fistic figure, the old globe trotter and former American welterweight champion, has joined forces with Captain J. A. McNamara down in Jacksonville, Fla., and will help promote boxing shows under ! the auspices of the National Guard. Since retiring from active fighting after years in the bruising pro- 1 fission in America and abroad, Bronson has from time to time promoted shows, managed a string of boxers and operated a gymnasium in Jacksonville Several years ago he released his knuckle dusters and disposed ol his gym holdings, but the lure of the cauliflower stung him again and lie will endeavor to put the sport back on sound footing in the Gateway to; Florida. Bronson and his horseshoe punch will be recalled by Indianapolis fight goers. He reigned in the days when there was an abundance of j sturdy scrappers in these parts and elsewhere, when it took courage, | endurance and the old gizzard to stay in the top flight circle of pugdom. i Ray made a trip around the world with a party of fistic stars and was met by a big reception committee, including a band, when he left j the train at the Union station on his return to the old nome town. Surely, that is one the new generation of sport fans hardly will believe Imagine it occurring today—a band and peppery crowd with cheer leaders greeting a prize fighter. Ray Bronson, Hoosier blacksmith, has seen a lot of life since then, but that incident probably occupies the most prominent place in his scrap book. tt tt a tt tt a ‘OEI) TOMLINSON’ DOES SPORTS COMEBACK hall, popular sports arena years ago, bids fair to become A a mecca again for sports fans, what with roller polo, wrestling. Golden Gloves tournaments and the like holding forth in the ancient , edifice. It looks like Gar Davis and Hendricks Kenworthy, with their big ! polo crowds each Sunday, have given a start to the revival. The polo ‘‘magnates'’ have plans for many improvements for the hall, j The elimination of the “boxes” around the balcony was a step in the right direction. These boxes served no purpose except to obstruct the view ol spectators scaled in the rear balcony row's. A public address system of loud speakers will be installed soon, it is said, and shower baths will be built for the convenience of athletes. The Timcs-Legion Golden Gloves amateur boxing tournament will be held there Thursday night. tt tt a a it tt “WE COULI) TAKE IT,” SAYS MAYOR DALE LAST Saturday night, at Muneie, when the Muncie roller polo club opened its home league season at the Muncie armory, Mayor George Dale, a redhot polo fan of years ago, was on hand to root for the Magic City boys. The mayor startled those in the press box by declaring he played polo when "those lads were in knee pants.” And, by those lads, the venerable mayor was referring to Ted Lewis, Socks Quigley and other veterans in the game. The mayor stated he played roller polo in 1885, and commented on the fact that it was not such a “sissie” game in the old days as now'. ‘‘The goal tenders in my day did not wear masks or all that padding,” said Mayor Dale, adding with a smile; “We could take it.” ECUS CO DOWN* FIT'/. SIGNS UP FITZSIMMONS, former Indianapolis hurler with the New York Giants—the "Mishawaka Marvel” he was called when he dished 'em off lhe mound at old Washington park—signed his 1933 contract with the Gothamites the other day. He rejected terms at first and announced he was a holdout, but suddenly capitulated. Fitz owns a chicken ranch at Areadia.

For Thrills, Try England's Grand National —Maddest and Mightiest of Hoss Races

BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Telegram Sports Editor NEW YORK. Feb. 7.—The cables reveal that fifty-four jumpers are slated to start in England's tremendous cross-country race next month at Aintree—the Grand National. This number represents the first acceptance of weights. Usually as the time wears on the field is reduced by withdrawals for one reason or another. But in any case, the first acceptance indicates another mad hurlyburly in this maddest and mightiest of all hoss races. There were thirty-six in the starting field a year ago. and this was a comparatively small number. Forbra, an outsider at 50 to 1 won, followed by

Mrs. Cassidy doesn’t mind—it’s been done before. Campbell hopes to pick up some | valuable odds and ends tonight, because it’s a good bet that if the Indians do any dogging (as they have recently), the Shelbys may punch them full of holes. And since the Andersons are recovering from a recent operation of this type by Muncie, they are in no mood for a repetition. Furthermore, Tim’s Cannonaders will trip down to Shelbyville on the night of Feb. 17. and Mr. Campbell is very anxious to win this one. be--1 cause all his old home-town neighbors and friends will be looking on from the bleachers, and further because Shortridge sneaked one over on the Mackmen a few games back.

If Gunning, Lackey and Shepple are banging the bucket in usual style, Anderson will find the evening’s assignment a difficult one.
