By Eddie Ash Turf ‘Olympic Games’ Is In Making m m m Jim’s K. O. of John L. Amazed the World mum Former City Star Is Dodger Favorite

JN a few more years the Agua Caliente handicap, to be run at the Mexican track in March, may be the Olympic games ol the turf. Last year Phar Lap made the long trip from Auustralia, via New Zealand, in order to run for that event. This year another horse, t’illow Fight, comes to America from New Zealand, while Poy Painter has recently arrived from England. Two years ago the parade of foreign horses began at the Mexican race strip when Challenger II was brought there for the race. Carlaris. another English horse, previously had won the Coffroth handicap, forerunner of the Agua Caliente handicap. Challenger II was undefeated before coming to this country, but he could get nowhere in our western racing. Phar Lap, however, galloped off with the rich prize. Pillow Fight is owned by David Davis, the man, who brought the late Phar Lap to this country last year. There is a closer tie still for the very appropriately named gelding is by Night Raid, sire of Phar Lap. and Week End. Boy Painter is a 5-year-old son of the great Gainsborough. Gainsborough may be remembered as the sire of Orwell, the American-owned 2-year-old champion of 1931, as well as of Solario, one of the greatest horses the English turf has seen in many years. Boy Painter is a handsome chestnut colt and is beautifully made. He is a nroven distance runner—over turf at least —and comes to this country with five victories in twenty-three starts. However, the son of Night Raid has no such string of victories as Phar Lap boasted. He is many years the Red Terror’s junior. Phar Lap was in his sixth year when he ran at Agua Caliente, while Pillow Fight is just 3 years old by American reckoning. Actually, Pillow Fight has a better record for age. Phar Lap performed like a plater when he first came to the turf, whereas Pillow Fight has won two of his six starts at a mile and placed twice. tt tt tt tt n tt RATED GREATEST UPSET OF ALL TIME THERE have been upsets and upsets down through the years of sport history and Gene Tunnry's defeat of Jack Dempsey at Philadelphia was one of the greatest within the memory of the present generation. The four straight defeats of the Philadelphia Athletics by the Boston Braves in the world's series of 1914 also was a classic blow to the dope bucket. In football, basketball and in other lines advance opinion has been knocked screwy and experts put to flight. Fact is, there have been countless upsets, but it is believed Jim Corbett’s victory over John L. Sullivan by knockout in 1892 is entitled to the upset throne of all time. Corbett’s name will live on and on and so will the name of the Boston Strong Boy. the man he whipped when he was not given a particle of chance by the sports of the era. The world’s heavyweight title changed hands that day. Sept. 7, in New Orleans, and “Gentleman Jim” became the new idol of fistiana. The whole world was confused and dumbfounded by the news that the slender former Frisco bank clerk had toppled the mighty John L. Corbett brought anew type into the fistic game, swift of foot, keen of eye, quick to strike and get away—he was the dandy of his time in the manly art. The thundering charge and dynamite fists of the giant Sullivan had mopped up everything offered until James J. invented a new fashion of throwing gloves. Sullivan was the bully of his era. Jack Dempsey was the terror and mauler of late years. And both fell before the opposite type of prize fighter, Corbett and Tunney. So great was the prestige and power of John L. that many people feared for Corbett's life when he challenged and obtained a match with the champion in 1892. Moreover, Jim tossed insults at John L. before the fight and the champ went into periodic rages. The challenger showed up in New Orleans dressed in the fanciest best of the day to help capture the “goat” of the veteran. Everything worked out as Jim had planned. He danced around Sullivan and cut him with jabs, hooks and crosses, and finally the old boy wore himself out rushing in aimlessly. Exhaustion, combined with the punishment absorbed, sent John L. down to defeat in the twentyfirst round, ending a ten-year tenure as king of the profession.

DUTCH MILLER STAYS IN MAJOR HARNESS OTTO MILLER will be back at his old job of coach with the Brooklyn Dodgers (his year. Ho is one veteran to hang on as the ax hit the ranks of the big league “straw bosses.” Known as Dutch when he played as a youth in Indianapolis on sandlot nines and later at Manual high school, the former local west side athlete climbed up to the major leagues and was tagged with the name of Moonie. He played football and baseball at Manual. Miller saw years of service with Brooklyn as a first string catcher and after age slowed him down the big German returned to his home town and acted as second string catcher one season when Ownie Bush piloted the Hoosier Indians, after which Miller rejoined the Dodgers as coach. He makes his home in Brooklyn now. Dutch is regarded highly as a coach of batterymen. having been taught by the great Wilbert Robinson. In Brooklyn it is said Miller is an institution and almost guaranteed a position with the ball club or at Ebbets field. According to one story Miller financed the Dodger training trip one spring. The executives were up against it for money, it is said, and Dutch stepped in and saved the prestige of the club and made it possible for the players to receive their customary drills in the south. 808 B a B M’GREW REGAINS JOB IN FAST COMPANY TED M'GREW, Indianapolis, is back in the big show as an umpire on the National League staff. He is entitled to the second promotion, according to the opinion expressed by many major league newspaper men. Ted was demoted by Proxy John Heydler after the 1931 season and spent 1932 in the International League. There was a lot of mystery connected with the efficient Ted losing out a year ago, but many thought it was over a ruling that displeased Rogers Hornsby, then manager of the Chicago Cubs and which several ball players of both teams said was correct—and ball players seldom go to the front for an umpire. McGrow was compelled to banish Hornsby to save delaying the game. Any way, Hoosier sports followers are glad to see McGraw traveling in fast company again along with another Indianapolis big league umpire, Harry Gciscl of the American loop. a a a a b a PERHAPS this story was an outgrowth of a session at the nineteenth hole or maybe it was told at one of those after-dark parties on the club veranda, but anyway it is a Cruickshank yarn. It is said Bobby was engaged in golf tournament play and sank a nventy-foot putt only to see the ball pop out of the cup. A bullfrog was snoozing in the hole, the ball landed on it, the frog hopped and carried the pellet with it and up and out and back on the green. aaa a a p The baseball wags won't leave the young manager have peace; Bill Terry, we mean. He bet a sports writer a hat the 1933 Giants would finish better than fourth and another scribe chirped: “Open that bet to the public and the hat industry will be back on its feet.” bbb b a a Tony Canzoneri. world's lightweight champion, is in the clothing business and owns a tailor shop. In other words, when Tony measures you. you stay measured. His opponents will vouch for it. a a a a a a Bacon Indian college is in Oklahoma and its football warriors were undefeated last fall. Ham What Am evidently is their college yell. a a a a a a Mr. Groundhog wins the argument. Relaxing in his domicile today, his only comment, before rolling over for another siesta, was: “I told you so." Cock Rohm the First was chirpless—frozen stiff, with toes turned up. Mr. Groundhog knew his meteorology, or maybe it's climatology. Coal dealers gat down early this morning.

Jumping From Dirigible Is Suspense , but Waiting for Sir Malcolm -

BY HENRY M’LEMORE lulled Press Staff Correspondent DAYTONA BEACH. Fla., Feb. 8. —Jumping through the side of a burning dirigible in black darkness, without the comfort of knowing whether you were jumping ten feet or ten thousand, would seem the ultimate in suspense. But Harry Leech says it isn’t and Harry ought to know. It was just such • jump on that dark and stormy night above Beauvais, France, a few years ago that made him one of the six survivors of the ill-fated R-101. Harry, here as a mechanic with Shf Malcolm Campbell, says his

KABAT QUITS SCHOOL H.’l Timex Sperial MADISON. Wis.. Feb. B.—Greg Kabat. guard and captain of last year's Badger football team. Big Ten discus champion in 1931, and star defense of the hockey team, has decided to withdraw from the University of Wisconsin and return to his Milwaukee home.

most anxious moments were not those when he plunged through the flaming fabric of the R-101 to land in the top of a tree, but rather those moments he he spent on the south end of Daytona Beach waiting for the "skipper” to finish his drives down the sand in search of the worll's automobile speed record. "It gets me like nothing else, that waiting,” Harry confided today as he helped ready the mighty BltvBird. "It gets me all the time, but it gets me worse on those days when the wind is coming my way and I can follow him all along the course by the scream of the motor.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1933

Pairings will be made after the young pugilists are examined Thursday afternoon. Five physicians will conduct the examinations beginning at 3 p. m. and every boxer entered is requested to be present at Tomlinson hall at 3 p. m. No “Draw” Verdicts Bruce Robison Post boxing officials have arranged for a swift program. Each bout will be scheduled for three rounds of two minutes each to a decision. There will be no “draws” and the judges and referee will be required to pick a winner in each melee if one principal isn’t flattened before time expires. It is an elimination tourney and a defeat means "until next year.” Heze Clark, Happy Atherton and Ward Fowler, all familiar with the amateur glove sport, will act as referees. Atherton is the former professional boxer who climbed high in the profession. Clark is experienced in all lines of sport activities and Fowler is well known in A. A. U. boxing and swimming circles. Geisel as Announcer The Bruce Robison Post also announced the judges will be Edward R. Zimmer and perhaps J. Edward Clemens, both A. A. U. prominents. Harry Geisel, American League umpire, will be the chief announcer, it was said today. Professional boxers who have volunteered to act as “seconds” for the boys who desire expert handling are Rosy Kid Baker, Tony Brown, Jackie Purvis, Howdy Stout and others. Asa means of speeding action, boxers will be ready in relays, with gloves on, and the instant one bout is finished, another will start immediately. In other words, no lost motion. Open to Public The public is invited to view the amateur milling. Tickets are on sale at the Clark & Son drug store in the Claypool and at Spalding’s in the Circle Tower. Prices are 75 cents ringside and 40 cents general admission. The tourney second round will be held Feb. 16 and the windup on Feb. 23. Winners in each of the eight divisions will be sent to Chicago with expenses paid to compete in the Tournament of Champions, under the auspices of the Chicago Tribune at the Chicago stadium Feb. 27 and 28 and March 1. Any receipts over expenses will be donated to the American Legion clothing relief station.

I thought he was done for when the car went into a deep dangerous skid, but he pulled it out alright and on his next run he liked to have got it again when a front tire blew off. That was the tire that spun off the course and killed a youngster who was watching the run.” Harry was asked if he thought Sir Malcolm was too daring or took foolish risks.

BUTLER'S supremacy in the Missouri Valley conference cage race is threatened tonight by Washington U. of St. Louis. Don White, former Purdue hardwood hero, brings his Bears to the Fairview fieldhouse tonight to battle Tony Hinkle’s Bulldogs. Butler is leading the valley parade with five triumphs and one setback. Washington forced the Bulldogs into an overtime period at St. Louis last week before the Hoosier five was able to grab a twopoint decision. Nelson Hower and William Strand, shown above, are two of the Bear stars. Hower scored four field goals against the Bulldogs last week. Kern, a guard, who snagged five two-pointers last week, and Buddy Wise, forward and co-captain, are other St. Louis stars. The tilt tonight, starting at 8:30 p. m., will mark Butler’s first appearance here in nearly two weeks, and the Hinkle pastimers are reported in their best form for the season.

Off The Backboard RY VERN ROXF-l I

THE wise guys .who have been handing Mr. Ihsaa's purple toga to this club and that one had a few wrinkles today. You can't laugh off that Anderson 42, Shelbyville 23 thing at the Indians’ wigwam Tuesday night. Furthermore, Everett (Slicker) Case has the boys pretty well crossed up about his lineup. He started a half-and-half varsityreserve outfit against the Shelbys Tuesday, and ran up a 21 to 13 score at the half. It was a ball game for most of the first sixteen minutes, but the final half was a waltz for Anderson and a nightmare for Shelby. Simpson and Faulkner, lanky Negro substitutes who have been pastiming regularly of late while some of Casey’s boys ride the bench for discipline, started Tuesday’s game, but wound up watching the so-called varsity boys at work. Eleven Anderson players saw action. Hallinan, the early-season center flash, came back to earth and bagged five field goals when he finally got into the game. Clutch, another w-ho strayed from the straight and narrow, also was given a chance and dropped in four baskets. Just to help matters along, Ruh and Smith also got a quartet of two-pointers each, while Childers played a hangup game at guard. Lackey. Wright and Shepple tried hard for Shelby, but Anderson was just too much. Mr. Case's Indians aren’t the “vanishing” kind, it seems. a a a And Greencastle cracked Brazil with much srusto. 36 to 17. Anderson. Logansnort. Greencastle. Tech—eenie. meenie. minev. m-oh! a a a Logansport and Columbus will be the scenes of this week’s major attractions. At the Berry bowl. Cliff Well's Logans get the next shot at Anderson Friday night. Case and Wells waged many hardwood battles while the Sicker was at Frankfort, and when they get together there's bound to be plenty of fireworks. For instance, that 10 to 7 game a few years back between Case and Wells-coached teams which introduced the well-known stall to Indiana fans. One of the oldest and most interesting rivalries in Hoosier basketball will be renewed at Columbus Friday night when Frank Newsom's Bulldogs tackle Shelbyville. Columbus has been pooh-poohing all this Shelbyville ballyhoo. The Bulldogs dropped a 30 to 28 overtime tilt at Shelby a few weeks back. But Columbus claims they’ve improved plenty since then and will take the Mackmen Friday night and in the sectional. This one should be a thriller, unless Newsom and McCullough decide to withhold their fire until sectional time, which they probably won't. a a a FOR the local filberts, the outstanding attraction is the Shortridge - Manual struggle at Shortridge on Saturday night. No matter how tough the Blue Devils may be, and they’re just that this year, Manual always makes the north side five step high and fast to get the decision. And the Redskins will do it. Meanwhile, Shortridge is keeping an eye cn the following week, when Greencastle comes to town. You’ve heard of Greencastle . a a a SPIKE KELLY, who turned out championship football teams at Clinton for several years and brought hi s basketball five to the state tournament in 1928. is slated to tell Crown Point athletes wliat it's all about* next year.

Valpo’s basketball team got together and decided to do something about it. They all turned in their suits, until Powell was re-instated.

Cathedral journeys to Southpdrt to battle the strong Cardinals, Marion county champions, in Friday's feature tussle. Shortridge trounced the Redskins in a city title battle, but their Saturday tilt is expected to be closer. Both teams are reported in top shape. Tech invades Morton of Richmond for a North Central conference fray Friday and the big east siders are favorite'’. The Campbell five will be seeking revenge for a 1932 lass when they battle John Adams' Alices here Saturday. Southport will be strengthened for the fray with Cathedral Friday night.

The action is equivalent to a foreclosure by holders of the $115,000 in bonds outstanding against the property. The bondholders plan to lease the property, including a franchise for operating the club.
