By Eddie Ash *\ Birds Cash In on Big League Mistakes ffojfc*?' J? I First Base No Worry to Gabby Street WBC*® Jjj Roller 15,., p Becomes “Family Circle"

TIASEBALL men close to the Columbus club of the American Association say the Red Birds received more money for Harvey Hendrick when they sold him to the Chicago Cubs than the amount of the waiver price in the majori leagues. The sale to the Bruins came shortly after the Birds bought the outfielder-first baseman from the Cincy Reds. Evidently somebody at Chicago was looking out of the window when the Reds asked for waivers on the player. Before an athlete is waived out of the majors, fifteen clubs are given k chance to grau Inm lor fc/,500. Hendrick made an instant protest when he wa. demoted to the minors and asserted he stiil was good enough to perform in the big show. His complaint brought quick dividends and he bounced back and landed with the pennant-winning Cubs, whereas the year previous he was with a tailender. Now Sylvester Johnson, pitcher, is shouting the same grievance. The St. Louis Cardinals obtained waivers on him and sent him to Columbus, their farm. The Birds say they bought him. At any rate, Jonnson thinks he still possesses major league ability and so far has refused to sign a Columbus contract. “Tops” this year in the A. A. is only $350 per month. Cincinnati passed up the hurler on waivers, but Queen City officials apparently have decided they made a miscue. Anyway, the Reds need mound help and Johnson knows it. Sylvester may be “saved'’ before 1933 action begins, but Columbus avers the Redlegs will have “to lay it on the line” to obtain the righthander. If this sort of uusiness keeps up the Red Birds will have their spring training expenses paid by taking advantage of the off-season mistakes of big league clubs. B B B B B B CARDS HAVE SURPLUS AT INITIAL SACK THERE is a scarcity of first basemen among major league clubs, but the St. Louis Cardinals have a surplus for that position even after trading the famous Jim Bottomley to the Cincy Reds. Manager Gabby Street still has three men of major league caliber available for initial sack duty, and a fourth is in the Cardinal “farm system, ready to step up any time. Street will give Jim Collins the first call at first this spring. The hardhitting Pat Crawford, who has been waiting on the Columbus “farm” for a chance in the majors for two years, will offer Collins plenty of competition, however. Ernie Orsatti, converted from a first baseman to an outfielder, will be available to return to first if needed. Last year he led the Cardinals in batting and won a regular place in the outfield. Larry Barton, 18-year-old first baseman, assigned to the Rochester club this year, is the “red hot prospect” of the minors, according tQ Charlie Barrett, chief scout of the Cardinals. Orsatti, Crawford and Barton are left-handed hitters, and Collins bats both ways, but with his best power from the southpaw side of the plate. Bottoniley also swings left-handed. BUB a B B FATHER AND SON IN SAME LEAGUE rrMIE Hoosier professional roller polo league is made up chiefly of old--1 timers, but already young talent is beginning to creep in. For instance, Parson Rol Do Witt, veteran Ft. Wayne center, is the father of Darrell De Witt, substitute player with the Indianapolis skaters. Young De Witt saw part-time action at, half back with the Indians last Sunday and made an impressive showing. “Old Man” De Witt is one of the scrappiest club swingers in the circuit, despite his advanced years. He has kept his weight down and is able to skip about the floor in agile fashion as well as to hold his own in the scrimmages. The father-and-son angle will be given a good “play” when Indianapolis and Ft. Wayne clash again. Darrell De Witt seems destined to be a favorite, especially with feminine fans. He has what it takes to make ’em powder their noses. In other words, young De Witt is of the matinee type. Brothers also are performing in the roller loop, and on different clubs —Socks Quigley, center for Indianapolis, and Lew Quigley, second rush for Richmond. They scored eight goals as a “family” last Sunday, each netting four. The four-club league has been drawing beyond expectations, and it is planned to increase the loop to six teams next year. Terre Haute wants to give the roller sport a try, and several other cities are nibbling. B B B B B B JACK HURLEY, manager of Billy Petrolle, the Fargo Express, accepted, the terms of one promoter to meet Tracy Cox in Indianapolis, but the match fell through, it is said, when Bert Rumer. pilot of Cox. demanded stiff terms. The promoter said that putting the demands of the two fighters together would have left him without meal money. a a a a a a More than one hundred young men have applied for trials with the Pittsburgh Pirates. They come from semi-pro, college and high school ranks. All they want is a chance. No other employment in sight. Manager Gibson will try out a few at times during the summer. a a a B a a Wrestling promoters in Chicago know’ the value of a cosmpolitan card. Nine nationalities were represented on a five-bout program there Monday. Italian Joe Savoldi and Irish Pat O'Shocker headed the bill. The rest included a Slav, Bohemian, Greek, Swede, Indian, American, Jew and a second Italian. a a a a a a Gene McCann, scout for the New York Yankees, used to play with the Milwaukee club years ago. He was a pitcher. One of the Brewer officials saw r him entering the club hotel at 8 o’clock one Sunday morning and ordered him suspended without pay for staying out all night. McCann had been to early mass. B B B B B B Rogers Hornsby, who spent the off season training for a comeback with the St. Louis Cards, included sprinting in his and wind-building routine. He was clocked one day at a little over eleven seconds for the 100 yards. “At that,” he panted, “I could outrun some of those nags I used to bet on.”

HOOSIER high school basketball coaches have weathered another attack. The bill, introduced in the current legislature by Senator Thurman A. Gottschalk of Berne and proposing that all coaches be made physical directors with reduced salaries, has been postponed indefinately. An interesting sidelight is the information sent out by the Hoosier Taxpayers’ Union, Inc., showing the ten-months salary of four leading college coaches at state-operated schools. Piggy Lambert of Purdue draws the biggest check, $6,375, followed by Dave Glasscock, Indiana State, with $3,149; Everett Dean, Indiana U., with $2,925, and Branch McCracken. Ball State, $2,125, You couldn’t tell an unemployed man this was starvation pay, and you couldn't prove to a financier that he'd be rich in a few years at this figure. Considering their duties, including other head and coaching jobs, the worries and trie uncertainty of their jobs, the collegiate mentors, in the majority, aren’t overpaid.

Thirty-six rounds of boxing, featured by a trio of ten round scraps, the order of which are to be determined at the ringside, will be offered local fight fans at the Armory tonight at 8:30 p. m. Two outstanding light heavyweights will mix in the bout that seems to be attracting the most attention on the card. They are Billy Jones, Negro boxer from Pittsburgh, who ranks in the first ten of the world’s light-heavies, and Mitz Minikel, young Milwaukee puncher, who already owns a decision over Jones, as w'ell as King Levinsky and George Nichols. Jackie Purvis, local welterweight, and Young Al Walker. Los Angeles Negro, clash in a rematch. They struggled to a sensational ten-round draw here several weeks ago. The third ten brings Rasy (Kid) Baker, popular Anderson clouter, into action against Gary Leach of Gary. They are middleweights. A “natural” opens the show, Jimmy Shannon opposing Kid Carson, his local featherweight rival, for six rounds. BROWN FACES JARRELL Local Boxer Mixes in Ten Rounds at Cincinnati.

All the Wildcats needed frfom the start was a big center who could hit the bucket with some regularity, and the gods must have heard Paul Cross’ pleas. A towering youngster, Ellers by name and six foot, four inches up in the air, came galloping over from Flora. Since then, no one has been pooh-poohing Kokomo. While Jolly admits that the Wildcats are superior to his Bearcats, he opines that Logansport isn’t so hot and that the Muncies would make the Berries say “uncle” if they ever got together on a neutral hardwood. Since your correspondent has not glimmered Kokomo, B. E. or A. E. (before or after Eller), Mr. Jolly’s statement about the boys from Wildcat creek will go unchallenged. But ole’ Backboard will square off for an argument with anybody who thinks Logansport isn’t so hot. ATTUCKS FIVE TO PLAY Crispus Attucks high school cagers play Brightwood A.

The officials all are keeping up a front of optimism, but there is a feeling in some quarters that the beach may continue unfit for months and that Campbell may not get a chance this year to shoot at his own record of 253.9 miles an hour.
