By Eddie Aslht Young Corbett Is Picked to Beat Fields m m m George Lott Seeks Davis Cup Position m tt a Basket Timer Is Often in Ticklish Spot

£OAST fans who enjoy a wager with their glove entertainment are betting 10 to 7 that Young Corbett, the Californian, annexes the world’s welter laurels when he tackles the title holder, Jackie Fields, in San Francisco on Washington's birthday. The challenger is known as the “uncrowned champion.” He has whipped welter kings in the past in over weight non-title scraps. Rumors persist there is something wrong with Fields' eyes despite the fact his manager. Jack Kearns, has announced the eye trouble that bothered his champ has cleared up and that Jackie will be his old self on the twenty-second of the month. Coast boxing critics have endeavored to induce Kearns to have Fields' optics examined by an oculist in San Francisco, but the wily pilot so far has ducked out on the suggestion. Kearns always likes to create a doubt of some sort when his fighters are tuning up for an important battle, especially if the said “doubt” happens to have a tendency to make the opponent the favorite in the betting and ballyhoo. Fields is not minus a following and evidently will be well supported on the short end. It is said Corbett has slipped to some extent on general form although possessing a brilliant run of victories. He fights southpaw style and Fields solved this ring system when he regained the 147-pound belt by trimming Lou Brouillard, whose glove stance is unorthodox. Many Indianapolis ring goers are inclined to the belief Corbett will win. Reports reached here some time ago to the effect that Fields’ sight was failing. If this condition is true. Jackie won't last long against the California puncher. Corbett is certain to discover, early in the scrap, if the champion is short on vision. tt tt tt tt a a CHICAGO TENNIS STAR REGAINS STRIDE FORGE LOTT of Chicago has started in earnest to return to the X high place in amateur tennis that he held two years ago. Dropped from No. 2 to No. 11 in the national rankings Lott has decided that a comeback would be in order. George began his campaign to win a place on the 1933 United States Davis cup team by competing in the Miami Biltmore All-JBouth Championships. He won the singles and was runner-up in the doubles despite the fact his partner was just an average player who required a lot of assistance. The singles triumph was not a hollow one for on successive days Lott advanced over Cliff Sutter of New Orleans and Gregory Mangin of Newark. Sutter Is ranked No. 3 and Mangin. No. 7. Lott used new tactics in contenting himself with baseline exchanges against Sutter, one of the masters in the use of the ground stroke. Just what Lott will attempt to capture in the way of Davis cup glory is something even he himself does not know. Originally he intended to aim for a berth as a doubles contestant, possibly as a teammate of Johnny Van Ryn. But now he may strive to win the singles assignment, held by Wilbur Allison. It's inconceivable that Lott could unseat Ellsworth Vines as a singles player, but if George continues to improve, or if Allison should slip, the Chicagoan might supplant the Lone Star state pastimer. tt u a tt tt NET WATCH HOLDER CARRIES VITAL LOAD TIME keeping at basketball games has come in for the usual amount of criticism this season in certain games that were decided on a last-second toss. There also have been games where the timekeeper’s gun failed to fire, something that happens occasionally every year. Long and bitter arguments have been stirred up by disputes over timing, but what to do about it has not led the rule makers to a solution so far. Probably no other game hinges on minutes and seconds like basketball and the pop of the pistol is of vital importance. Dr. Meanwell, coach of the University of Wisconsin five, always is good for some sort of comedy in the cage profession when he thinks his team is getting the worst of a troubled situation. He lost his temper once this year over the officiating and sent a sub out on the floor with a note bawling out the referee. The story is told of how Wisconsin once lost a key game in the Big Ten race when the timer's gun jammed, failed to fire and the opposing team scored the winning points in what the Badgers declared was “overtime “ Coach Meanwell exploded—not the gun. The Wisconsin mentor "couldn't forget” the ill luck and he schemed to show anew way of ending a game that would be “accident proof.” When the Badgers next went into action on their court Meanwell had rigged up a 'system. At the close of time there was not only a pistol shot, but a siren shrieked and the gymnasium lights went out. It was stage stuff, but it helped lower Doc's soaring blood pressure. tt a o a a GEISEL APPOINTED A. L. REPRESENTATIVE TTARR\ GEISEL. Indianapolis, well-known big league umpire on X 1 the staff of the American loop, has been appointed by William Harridge, American League president, to represent the junior major circuit at the convention of the National Amateur Baseball Federation to be held in Ft.

Geisel acted as introductory announcer at Tomlinson hall Thursday when The Times-Legion Golden Gloves boxing tourney got under way. t> tt a tt tt tt Moose Clabaugh led the Southern Association in batting last year and was placed on the market and sold to Baltimore. It was an unkind reward for the slugger, but it is said the Nashville club bosses got nervous about the workmen’s compensation law whenever Moose tried to catch a fly in the outfield. a a o a a Getting back to that old subject of salary cutting in baseball, how about a little sympathy for Frank Shellenback, veteran pitcher with Hollywood of the Coast League? He faces a reduction of 50 per cent SBOO per month to S4OO. And five children are in the Shellenback household. tt a a a tt a The Cincy Reds have an ace argument in the hole to use in their salary controversy with Sunny Jim Bottomley, holdout, formerly with the St. Louis Cards. Jim has smacked only one home run at Redland field in the last three seasons, according to data collected by a demon statistician. tt tt B tt tt tt James J. Corbett not only astounded the world away back there in 1802 when he knocked out the mighty John L. Sullivan, but he handed the “sports" of the day a second jolt of amazement during the celebration following the fight. Jim drank milk while his boisterous friends drank hard stuff.

Sinister Rumors Shadow Schaaf, Camera Serap; Primo ‘Favorite"

RY JACK CI’DDY Vnitcil I’rrss Staff (.'orrospondrnt NEW YORK. Feb. 10.—Tonight's fifteen-round bout between Primo Camera and Ernie Schaaf has crystallized into a somewhat odorous mystery battle with a mess of sinister rumors and lily-white statements. Boxing writers and fans in general believe there's some exaggeration in Madison Square Garden's statements that it is intended as a test to determine a title opponent for heavyweight champion Jack Sharkey in June. A sell-out crowd of 21.000 fans is expected at the Garden. Schaaf. the blond Bostonian, had been installed a 7 to 5 favorite to win, because of his remarkable come-back in beating King Levinsky and knocking out Unknown Winston and Stanley Poreda.

Corbett Packed 'Em In When He First Appeared Here as Champion

BY EARL McKEE IT was early in 1893 that Indianapolis got its first glimpse of James J. Corbett, the new world's heavyweight champion of the nineties appearing at the old Grand opera house as the hero of a melodrama called "Gentlemen Jack." It was quite the thing in those days for outstanding celebrities of the prize ring to turn to the stage in the heyday of their fame. Less than a year before his initial Indianapolis showing. Corbett had defeated John L. Sullivan at New Orleans for the title, and the sports world was still trembling from the shock it received when the wires carried the news from the Crescent CJy that the great John L. had

But latest reports had the “wise money” making Camera the favorite with final odds of about 7 to 5 indicated. The massive "pooshpoosh” man from Mussolini-land will outweigh Ernie 262 pounds to 210, but every one knew that when the match was made. This shift in odds occurred after the Garden Thursday signed Carnera to a “last-minute contract" to oppose Sharkey on or before June 30. No new contract was made with Schaaf. One of the many unfortunate angles to this bout is that either Schaaf or Camera will be a sec-ond-fiddle challenger. The Garden was forced into the Schaaf-Foreda and Schaaf-Carnera eliminations for a challenger when Jack Dempsey tied up the only two logical contenders. Max Schmeling and Maxie Baer.

been whipped by a dude from Frisco! a a tt AS the fans eagerly scanned the sports pages for the next few days, they also learned that this young upstart was being called | “Gentleman Jim." And that sobriquet didn't set so well with the oldtime, hard-boiled ring followers. In those days the term “gentleman,' to prize ring followers, at least, conjured up visions of a "gent" wearing a silk topper and a gardenia. But the fact that a ■gentleman" had won the championship served to interest a lot of folk in the “manly art" and when the Corbett troupe came to town the theater was packed frJm pit to dome. So

Giants Ready to Purchase Vance Ftp United Press NEW YORK. Feb. 10.—New York baseball circles believe that Dazzy Vance, famous righthanded pitcher who was traded by Brooklyn to the Cardinals, will be purchased soon by the Giants. Including Dazzy, the Cards now have ten good pitchers, the best staff in the National League. They have Hallahan, Dean, Walker, Carleton, Derringer. Mooney, Stout, Lindsey, Haines and Vance. The Cards are weak in the infield and, with Mancuso and Gonzales gone, have only one reliable catcher, Jim Wilson. Terry may give up the money received for Frank Hogan to buy the Dazzler.

Another unfortunate angle is that Sharkey owns half of Schaaf's contract. When the match was made, Johnny Buckley, Schaaf's coowner, announced that Sharkey would sell part of the contract if Ernie won. But when Jack returned from a Bermuda vacation, he announced indignantly he would neither sell his share nor fight Ernie for the title. Even if Sharkey would fight Schaaf. dwellers in cauliflower alley ‘’giue it would be very difficult to build up a title bout between a fighter and his boss.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1933

Next Thursday night, Feb. 16, at Tomlinson hall, the remainder of the first round matches, about twelve bouts, will be staged, in addition to second round tussles in all weights. The finals will follow a week later. About thirty bouts are planned for next Thursday. 169-Pounders Shine A middleweight scrap, the twentieth event on the card, which pitted Scrooge Innis, Victory A. C., against Bill Trichler, N. A. G. U. collegian, captured the spotlight for the evening. Trichler, displaying real boxing skill and a stiff punch, captured the first round. In the second stanza, the rivals swapped hard blows until Innis let a right fly which caught Trichler on the “button.” The collegian was flattened. Among the lighter boys, Johnny Krukemier, South Side Turners, 118-pounder, displayed lare boxing skill and a real wallop. He knocked cut Harold Haslet in the first round and looks like a comer. Outstanding The 160-pound class looms as the probable producer of major thrills as the tourney advances. In addition to Innis, John Chcsunas of Ft. Harrison, Harold Watt of Miller A. C., Jim Motsinger of Washington A. C. and George Hoyt, unattached, showed better than average skill. Nate Goldberg, Woody Birtch and Kitchell Cleaver copped honors in the welter division, and the lightweight, featherweight, bantamweight and flyweight classes also produced their share of thrills, entertainment and some outstanding battlers.

Evans. As an after-dinner speaker he was much in demand, and a series of lectures he delivered on clean living carried him from coast to coast. While Corbett was a fine afterdinner speaker and a better-than-average actor, it was in short speeches before the curtain that he was at his best, and it is a question whether DeWolf Hopper ever recited "Casey at the Bat” as many times as Corbett told of the guy with the brown derby. Here is the way he would tell it: "I was hurrying down Broadway when a fellow rushed up and blocked my progress, sticking out his hand j and crying. 'Well, if it isn't my old [friend Corbett.

Off The Backboard RY VERN nnxFi i

HOOSIER basketball eyes will be, focused on Logansport tonight, where Everett Case’s Anderson Indians hope to do some plain and fancy Logan Berry picking. That’s no easy task, even for Anderson. Logansport doesn’t have to ride in the back seat of anybody’s bus right now. It's a well-known fact that Slicker Case has turned on the heat at Anderson again, and there’ll be no more coasting for the Indians. On the other hand Logansport is blazing away in tip-top form, riding the head of the North Central Conference race. A loss to Anderson tonight and a victory by Tech over Richmond will put the local Campbellmen on top the conference and the Berries in second. Furthermore, Clifford Wells, Logan pilot, has a very great dislike for losses to Casecoached teams. Here's one that has the wise guys guessing. Pay your money and take your choice, but don’t be surprised if Logansport doesn't lose. a a a Shelbyville's trouncing by Anderson last Tuesday has taken some of the edge off that Shelby-Bulldog go at Columbus tonight. but there still will be more than a little action. Give me Columbus. ana For the home-towners who crave their regular Friday basketball, a little journey out to Southport may prove fust the thing. Cathedral tackles the Cardinals tonight. It's champion against champion and may the best guy win. a a a “T TAVING sunk pretty low in In--l* liana basketball circles by a loss to Washington last week . . .” writes Pete Ellis, speaking of his Vincennes Alices.

Sez me. a a a Babe Wheeler, Brazil mentor and exPurdue star, is reported to have advised Charley Edmonson, Greencastle mentor that “I don't see why the Tiger Cubs should not win the state championship this year.” S’funny, there may be several others thinking along the same lines. Newcastle is planning a big reception for Washington’s Hatchets Saturday night, and it's a good bet the Friddiemen will ; be highly entertained by the antics of one Billy Thoman. Young Thoman is stepping on the high spots again. He bagged twenty-five points in two games last week, including fifteen against Anderson, and now tops Edwards of Tech in North ; Central conference scoring. While Newcastle and Muncie are foaming at the mouth concerning their prospective meeting in the regional tourney at Muncie, they might take a few glances at Richmond and Greenfield, who complete the four team tourney. No pushovers there.

I stopped and took his hand, but I'll be darned if I could place him. "He evidently saw I did not recognize him. for he said, 'Why, Jim. don't you remember me?’ I had to confess that I didn't, although I pulled the old line about his face being familiar. ‘Why, Jim.’ said the stranger, ‘c’on’t you remember when you came to New York after your fight with Sullivan at New Orleans?’ “I confessed that I remembered. “Don't you remember, Jim,’ he continued, ‘the big crowd of thousands of fight fans who met you at the ferry?’ Sure, I remember, I replied. ‘Well, said the stranger, again wringing my hand. 'I was the guy with the browA derby.’ ”

ager of the Indianapolis motor speedway, scene of the annual 500mile classic. Myers is in Daytona Beach to serve as official referee for Sir Malcolm Campbell’s attacks on the land straight away record. “Carey,” Myers said, “has everything. He's just as heavy-footed as Arnold and seems to possess the better judgment of pace.” During his interview in Florida, Myers picked a “Big Ten” among the pilots he has seen perform in the 500-mile races. Based on a combination of skill and daring, Myers named the following, but with no preference as to order: Joe Dawson, Frank Lockhart, Jimmy Murphy, Tommy Milton, Harry Hartz. Pete De Paolo, Fred Frame, Bob Carey, Ralph De Palma, Billy Arnold. The guess is that old Pop will receive “plenty of argument” over his selections when he returns to Indianapolis.
