By Eddie Ash A1 Feeney Seen as State Boxing Chief m m m Cunningham Ijhhiis as Ace Track Phenom mam Baker Wants Chance at State Title

TT was rumored in local fistic circles today that the state athletic commission, controlling boxing and wrestling in Indiana, soon will be given an unconditional release, as they say in baseball when a veteran diamond pastimer is discharged with no strings attached. It is said A1 Feeney, recently named state safety director, among other duties, will take over the supervision of the professional glove and grappling sports and appoint a committee or board to serve as a boxing and wrestling commission. The present state a hletic commission was organized a couple of years ago. Members now are Andrew C. Weisburg, South Bend, chairman; Lee F. Bays, Sullivan, and Norman A. Perry, Indianapolis. James I. Veacn, Indianapolis, is commission secretary, and G. A. Farabaugh, South Bend, is commission attorney. Perry took the place of Charles F. Artes, Evansville, who resigned. Commission offices are in the Circle Tower building, and it is understood that under the new administration all fistic business will be conducted at the statehouse after Director Feeney's board of inspectors and supervisors begins to operate. 'Feeney is familiar with all branches of sports. He was a star football and basketball player in his heyday at Manual Training high school and Notre Dame, and later in the independent field. Moreover, he has kept in touch at all times with boxing, baseball and other lines of athletics. In other words, A1 "knows his way around." GLENN IS ALL REDSKIN WHEN HE RUNS * AyoUNG Indian with his legs still wearing the scars of a country school house fire, will fight for anew worid indoor record in the mile run on Saturday in New York. His name is Glenn Cunningham, age 23, address the University of Kansas, where he is a junior and works around the stadium for the privilege of running for the glory of the good old Kaw Valley. Cunningham is only part India.; by ancestry, but those who saw him breeze past Gene Venzke, holder of the world record in the indoor mile, in Madison Square Garden recently, are ready to agree that Glenn is all Indian when he runs. Cunningham's coach at the University of Kansas said after the Wanamaker games in which Cunningham showed at such great advantage, that Glenn really was not in condition yet. For ten days before that victory over the vaunted Venzke, the young Indian hadn’t even had a track shoe on. With one or two workouts under his belt, he appears to be a sure pop to beat Venzke’s great 4:10 mile of last year. Dan Ferris, secretary of the A. A. U., says that on form, Cunningham stands better than an even chance to beat the 4:09 1-5 record of Jules Ladoumegue of France in the outdoor mile, and that he should crack 3:50 for the 1,500 meters in the national A. A. U. championships. When Glenn was 8 years old his legs were burned in a schoolhouse fire at Elkhart, Kan. His training now must be carefully watched, as he does not have normal muscular protection on his leg bones. ft tt tt tt tt tt ROSY KID YEARNS FOR STRONGER FOEMEN KELSE M'CLURE, manager of Rosy (Kid) Baker, thinks his boxer is entitled to a match with Sammy (Kid) Slaughter, Terre Haute, Negro middleweight puncher, and with the state 160-pound title at stake. Efforts of promoters to bring the two Hoosier sluggers together failed recently when it is said Bud Taylor, pilot of Slaughter, declined offers. Baker has knocked several opponents kicking lately and while some of his victims were not so hot he never has objected tackling anybody the matchmakers asked him to meet. It's true Rosy is an in-an'-outer, but he's still young and willing to fight toe to toe when pressed. According to Manager McClure his Anderson walloper has had more tvian 100 bouts and has resolved to gamble everything on squaring off with top flight opponents. McClure thinks there might be a chance of signing Gorilla Jones with Rosy for an Indianapolis setto or even Ben Jeby. who is the New York commission middleweight champion. Jones is American N. B. A. champ in the 160-pound division. He disposed of Kid Slaughter in seven rounds at Cleveland not long ago. Baker battled Slaughter in Terre Haute last May and lost by a close decision in a hard ten-round scrap. tt tt tt a tt tt Len Koenecke, former Indianapolis fly chaser, is a holdout. New York Giants' officials report. 'Tis said they don't know just what Len is holding out for. Well, if they don't want*him, the Hoosiers will take him. tt a a a a a One big league star, after reading the reduced terms on his 1933 contract, said: "I'm not holding out; the club is holding out on me. It looks like a poor year for waiters, waitresses and Pullman porters." a a a a a a The crowd can boo all night at Harvey Rockburn, league hockey star with Ottawa, and he won’t never mind. He's deaf, and the hostile roar of the crowd is wasted when he “accidentally" spills a home player on the ice. tt a a a a a THEY are accusing pitcher Dizzy Dean of working for telephone companies. Anyway, officials of the St. Louis Cardinals are hot and bothered. Dizzy has made a practice of calling up the club office in the Mound City from any part of the country to discuss nothing at all, and with charges reversed. Last spring Dizzy was sent south a month ahead of the Cardinal spring training squad, and when the team arrived the secretary had a spasm when Dean's debts started flowing in for the club to settle. a a a a a a Canned goods serves as admission for kids to wrestling shows in Memphis. The promoter donates the victuals to Memphis depression community kitchens. Imagine the suffering of a hungry grappler when he sees a stack of groceries moved out of the hall! The average grunting pachyderm, when he becomes famished, can raze a whole canning factory in no time at all. aaa a a a After winning the batting championship of the Southern Association class A, last year. Moose Clabaugh, Nashville truckhorse outfielder, was sold to Baltimore, class AA, for SI,OOO and the Orioles sent him a contract calling for less money than he received with the Vols.

Pro Boxers Decline to Mix After Mewing Small Crowd

The professional boxing program scheduled at the Armory Tuesday night was called off after the sixround prelim scran had been staged. There was a shortage of customers and when some of the ten-round boys took a look at die small crowd they objected to pulling on their trunks and as a result, the fans on hand were given back their ticket money. Jimmy Shannon and Kid -mixed in the lone scrap rs the evening and supplied the few fans with a lot of action. The match was ruled a draw by the commission officials. The Times’ score card •figured out a shade lor Carson. . Promoter McLemore said he had arranged contracts with the chief principals to perform on a percentage basis, but when the receipts failed to come up to expectations a few of the professional glove throwers declined to enter the ring. Ted Sullivan, state athletic commission inspector, decided the best way out was to refund the money to the customers and this was done. Sullivan and McLemore said Rosy CARDS BATTLE GROVE Southport's county championship Cardinals get into action Saturday night against an old rival when they invade Beech Grove. With the exception of Goins, who hfs been ill for several weeks, the Southport five is reported in top shape.

Briton Set for Dash at New Speed Record Sir Malcolm Campbell Passes 200 Miles an Hour in First Trial Spin Tuesday: Bluebird Undergoes Repairs; Beach Is in Poor Shape. BY HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Corresnondent DAYTONA BEACH. Fla.. Feb. 15.—The world's land speed record of 253 9 miles an hour may go by the boards today if Sir Malcolm Campbell is given a fair beach and his mechanics finish the adjustments on the Bluebird which Tuesday's trial run showed to be necessary. The mechanics, who started delving into 31uebird s insides almost before she finished her first run and then worked over the big cobalt

monster through the night, promised the car would be ready at iow tide. Whether they can live up to their promise is something else, for the changes they had to make were many. Principal among the changes was the lower- ' ing of the car’s gear ratio. Sir Malcolm ordered this move when he learned he mi rU have no more than three miles in which to c k up speed this year. Another problem the mechanics had to solve was how to prevent the cockpit of the car from becoming filled with poisonous fumes. Sir Malcolm was almost stifled Tuesday by carbon monoxide. Then, there's the beach. Nobody knows how the racing strip will look until the tide recedes in the afternoon.

I > -1 Campbell

Tile only sure thing is Sir Malcolm. He is ready to go. He proved flint to the satisfaction of the thousands of spectators who lined the dunes Tuesday when, driving the Bluebird for the first time, he swept across the sands at the rate of more than 200 miles an hour. The timing traps failed to catch him in the measured mile and over I the one kilometer course, but they caught him at 212.63 miles an hour 1 for two kilometers and 179.82 for five miles.

Midway in Vie measured mile his tachometer showed a speed of 240 miles an hour. The 240 Campbell hit Tuesday is made downright remarkable when you remember that Sir Malcolm had not run the car under its own power since it was remodeled, that the beach was more fit for a horse and buggy than a speeding automobile, that he used only three miles in which to pick up speed, that he drove squarely into the teeth of a stiff southwest wind, that in spots his visibility was less than 300 yards (two seconds of traveling time) and finally that he was not shooting for any record, but was merely out to test the car's new clutch. After his run Campbell tald me: "Iffy only bad moments came when after crossing the measured mile, I cut my engine and the car tried to take charge. It snaked badly, due, I think, to the really bad condition of the beach, but after a bit it straightened out, and the fumes in the cockpit became my only worry.”

City Cage Meet in Second Round Second round play in the city cage championship tourney opens tonight at Pennsy gym with four games. Eli Lilly and L. S. Ayres quintets

Gorilla Jones to Fight Here According to announcement made today, Indianapolis fistic fans are to get an opportunity next Tuesday night to look over the newlycrowned National Boxing Association middleweight champion. Gorilla Jones, sensational heavyhitting Akron <O.) mitt thrower, who recently knocked out Sammy |Kid) Slaughter. Bud Taylor’s Terre Haute sharpshooter, in seven rounds at Cleveland, ha.s been signed by the Washington A. C. for a nontitle match. Jones signed a blanket contract in which he agreed to meet any man in the world at 161 pounds for next Tuesday’s show which will be staged at Tomlinson hall. His manager wired that "Jones is not picking the opponents he meets. Thats up to the matchmaker.” The Washington A. C. is dickering with several topnotchers and will sign up an opponent for Jones tonight or Thursday.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1933

Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—A few hours after Ernie Schaaf, the 1 prize fighter, died a messenger boy placed this message on my desk: "You should hang your head in shame.” It was signed by "The fight fans of Washington Ville, N. Y.” This, of course, had to do w'ith my report of the fight in which young Schaaf w r as knocked out by Primo Camera. I had written in my account of the fight that I had never seen a prize fighter knocked out by a left jab. I left the broad inference to the reader. As it happened, I w'as looking upon something tragic—l was looking at a man fa fling to the floor from nothing more than a nudge, and at the same moment I w'as looking at a man dying. What does that make me? I wonder if anybody cares? Whatever it makes me, young Schaaf is dead. Whatever anybody does, he still is dead. Here I am at the ringside a sports w'riter. I have my paper and pencil in hand. I have no interest in cither man. It is just another fight to me. I am familiar w'ith the general set up. By no way of reckoning it is a healthy set up. The principal idea is to produce a worthwhile challenger for Jack Sharkey, the heavyweight champion. Young Schaaf is partly owmed by Sharkey. Which means what? It means that unless Camera wins Sharkey will have no opponent for a midsummer fight. Managers do not fight their owm fighters. The i Madison Square Garden made that clear the day before the fight when it signed a contract with Camera to fight Sharkey. No contract was signed with Young Schaaf. Apparently it was taken for granted that he couldn’t win,, or he wouldn't i win.

I KNOW this when I crawl over some of the better citizens of New York to find my seat in the press now'. I say to myself, “This is too brazen a thing to frame. They wouldnt dare try. I’ll give the boys the edge all the way.” And so as I sat there watching young Schaaf take blow after blow, awkward, pushing, shoving movements, I was not particularly concerned. Without actively remembering, I still must have had way back in my mind a carbon copy of his other fights against—well, against the Winstons, the Poredas and the Baers, and I must have said: "Well, this just goes to prove.” And then came that thirteenth round—the death round —where I saw a man dying in front of my eyes and I didnt’ know it. More than that, I probably wouldnt have believed it. if all the doctors in the world were at my side telling me it was so. It is tough to die at any age. It is particularly tough to die at twenty-four. I am much more than twenty-four. I would like to die as young Schaaf died. I pay no attention to the Johnny Buckley's and the Jimmy Johnston’s who cry out in horror at the pagans who yelled ‘‘fa’,* ' when young Schaaf dropped. Witn all their sincerity they still belong to that crowd. It was their stage setting, no one else’s. I am more concerned about my own feelings. As I say, I didn’t believe Young Schaaf was seriously hurt. Somewhat sneeringly I wrote I had never seen a prize fighter knocked out by a left jab. This is no time for platitudes of sorrow and grief. There will be none in this space.

Pete Seyfored received 683 from Bob in the doubles and then this boy found he did not have many left scoring 571 in his singles play.

Geiger Candy had Mayer and Buning hitting for totals of 617 and 607. which led this team to a total of 2,661 and a tripple win over the fast Heidenrich Florist girls. Hazel also rolled well for Geiger, scoring 516 as Burnett, Weisman and Wiese scored 581, 569 and 564 for the losing Heidenrich team. Laura Alexander finally fell below the 500 mark, but Shea and Thomas rolled 512 and 510 and the Baseball Club five won the odd game from Giesen Products, Kritsch and Dawson had 526 and 519 for Giesen. Jack C. Carr also won two from Happv Wonder Bakers. Kehl and Lathrop scored 539 and 508 during this set.

between Camera and Champion Jack Sharkey. Camera was absolved bv authorities of "criminal intent,” in the death of Schaaf. He was asked to hold himself available for further questioning pending a formal report of the medical examiner. Schaafs body was taken to his home at Sneldonville, Mass., today, j Funeral services will be held at St.■ Mary's church, Wrentham, Mass., j Friday. His mother and other rel- j atives accompanied the body from [ New York to Boston Tuesday. Chief Medical Examiner Charles W. Norris clung to his opinion that Schaaf had not died from effects of the blow administered by Camera, but from an old injury or a weakness in the cerebreal formation. He tvas opposed by two physicians who attended Schaaf at Polyclinic hospital, where he died three days after the knockout, and by his own assistant, Dr. Benjamin N. Vance, who felt that death had been due to cerebreal compression directly traceable to the blow. Schaaf's brain will be subjected to a detailed chemical examination, which may establish the cause of death beyond dispute. Dr. Norris said his examination of Schaaf's body indicated he had not been in the best physical condition when he entered the ring. There w’as evidence of “superfluity of subcultaneous fat,” he said. Dr. William Walker, the boxing commission’s physician who examined both the fighters, said Schaaf’s herfrt and lungs appeared perfect just before the fight. Schaaf had recovered from an attack of influenza three weeks before.

Had he not played on the Anderson team last semester he would have been eligible this semester. But under I. H. S. A. A. rules he is expected to be barred for remainder of the season. His loss is not expected to weaken the Anderson team greatly. He is ineligible next semester because of the I. H. S. A. A. 20-year-old age limit.

Bulldogs Vfl op Fray Butler Rallies After Listless Start to Thump Wabash. When Tony Hinkle's Butler U. hardwood pastimers take their work seriously, there aren't many collegiate quintets who can make them say "uncle.” They proved this Tuesday night, when they rallied after an orgy of wild passing and listless playing in the opening minutes of the game and handily thumped Pete Vaughan's tough Wabash Scarlets at the fieldhouse. 37 to 20. Wabash wasted little time at the outset of Tuesday's battle, three field goals giving the Craw fordsviile club a 6-to-2 edge. But the Bulldogs settled down, retained control of the ball most of the time and sniped away for a 20-to-8 margin at rest time. The Scarlet got but two free throws after the opening flury. Butler continued its suiierior play in the second haif despite a generous sprinkling of substitutes. Vaughan also made several lineup shifts.
