By Eddie Ash 1933 Season Has Magnates Guessing a a a Three Teams En Route to Spring Camps mam Jim Lost Title After Piling Up Big Lead

R OLI ,IXG out of Chicago tonight on a Sante Fe rattler will he the advance guard of a couple of prominent big league ball clubs headed for spring training, the Windy City Cubs and the New York Giants. Another squad en route is the Pittsburgh Pirates. Anew campaign is about to begin, new managers appear here and there, and nearly all teams, major and minor, have made player changes to give the fans something to speculate about. As the spring diamond movement starts again, the league magnates are more or less in the dark about what's confronting them in a financial way. They have prepared fairly well for another jolt by curtailing expenditures ail along the line, but if general business fails to improve by midsummer, it's difficult to fathom how a few teams in the majors and three Class A A circuits will be able to survive the new season. No one in authority has stepped forward to deny the recent yarn out of Ran Francisco that the Pacific Coast League voted to throw in the sponge after last July 4, and if that historic organization was subjected to that extreme, it's no telling what will happen throughout the rest of the land in a baseball way thus year. The coast leaguers finally agreed to finish out the r> "ular 1932 schedule only because they discovered they could not retain title to players, it is said. Weak spots in the American Association structure are Toledo, Kansas City, Louisville and St. Paul, although the Saints believe they are better off than most people think. Their club was on the bottom until neai the very end of the 1932 race and for that reason a true line on fan support in the Apostle city was unavailable. No city will pay out money any more when its ball team lands xn the rut and stays there week after week. _ . New blood has taken over the franchises at Toledo and Kansas City and this condition may lead to a revival of Interest, but its a gamble at the most unless John Fan finds a way to locate more spending money for amusements. Louisville, harrassed by financial troubles, thinks it will hold its own if the Colonels perk up and mingle in the first division. Bruno Betzel's nine hit the toboggan last season and closed in possession of the cellar. The new race arrangement that pits the highest club In the eastern geographical division against the high club among the four western clubs to determine the championship, plus a bonus to players on a sliding scale to the five high clubs in regular play, has instilled confidence in the minds of th n owners and they believe the fans throughout the circuit will indorse the scheme after a few weeks of action. a tt a tt tt tt CORBETT WAS INCLINED TO OVERCONFIDENCE OVF.RCONFIDENCE and over-indulgence helped “slay" John L. Sullivan when Gentleman Jim Corbett lifted the heavyweight crown in 1892. John 1,. was in no shape to battle the young, slender boxing master. The fight was a cinch for Jim. Come 1897 and it was overconfidence of a different sort that beat Corbett and made a champion out of Bob Fitzsimmons. Corbett cut Bob to ribbons with his crafty skill, but according to old timers of that era Jim hated the Cornishman and purposely permitted Fitz to stay as a means of causing him more punishment. Asa result, in the fourteenth round at Carson City, Bob, nearly blinded with blood, swung a right for the head that Corbett easily avoided, but Jim was caught napping just the same. Fitz pivoted as he missed and drove his left into Jims body at the solar plexus storehouse. Corbett dropped and was counted out, though conscious of what happened. His legs were paralyzed temporarily. He could do everything but regain his feet until after the fatal count. Fitzsimmons took up the “hate” at that point and refused to meet Jim again, losing the championship to Jim Jeffries in 1898. Jeffries had been a sparring partner in Corbett's camp at Reno. It was overconfidence again that robbed Corbett of a chance to regain the world’s title in 1900. He gave Jeffries boxing lessons for twenty-two rounds and was far out in front on points. Corbett’s handlers advised him to coast the rest of the three rounds, and take the crown by decision, but Gentleman Jim grew careless in the twentythird stanza, tried one of his famous tricks again and misjudged distance. As he shifted and whaled Jeffries with both hands. Corbett thought he had the Boilermaker safely off balance to be dangerous. Corbett was wrong. He jumped into a wild left to the jaw and was knocked cold. Jeffries had the kick of a mule and disposed of Corbett again in 1903 in ten rounds after Gentleman Jim had flattened Kid McCoy in five rounds two years previous. u tt a tt tt tt ROSY REACHES CROSSROADS OF FISTIANA ROSY BAKER gets his chance here Tuesday night at Tomlinson hall. The Anderson Kid. possessor of a stiff punch, is going to meet ! Gorilla Jones, N. B. A. American middleweight champion, and it will j be the cross roads of flstiana for the Hoosier. Rosy has looked good at times since he came to Indianapolis as a j preliminary boy, and recently has been enjoying a winning streak after j several months of in and-out fighting. Fistic fans are glad to see him j obtain a match with a champion, for they know he will be facing a i lot of class. Jones, Akron tO.) Negro, knocked out Sammy Kid Slaughter, 3Hdiana state middleweight champ, in seven rounds not long ago at Cleveland, and it takes dynamite to put the Terre Haute Negro on the floor. He upset Slaughter after Sammy had him in a bad way in the fifth canto. Jones has convinced the boxing critics, therefore, that when he's right he needs fear no man at his weight. l The Baker-Jones scrap here will be a nontitle affair, but there will be plenty of importance attached to it on the part of Baker, a win for him meaning he will be in the big money, or what's left of it. Rosy gave Slaughter a close battle in ten rounds at Terre Haute j last spring and may stack up against Jones better than most people | guess. The Kid has made a practice of giving the fans a run for their ! money, win or lose. He is short of stature and depends on an over- i hand punch, left or right, to send opponents back on their heels when they become careless. a a a a a a IF Sir Malcolm Campbell doesn't hurry up and make that Bluebird run down there on the Daytona (Fla.) sand, it's going to make it tough ; sledding for the beach publicity staff. Seems as though the race stretch ! has been rough for a month, shore line ragged and winds blowing the | “wrong way.” Conditions are “most unusual," as they say at the winter resorts when the temperature takes a nose dive and your hotel is unheated, or “sun het." a a a a o a Southern California clinched the basketball title in the Pacific Coast Conference, the other day—to add to its football crown. Jimmy Phelan. University of Washington at Seattle, said recently the coast loop is topheavv in sports competition. It's topheavy with Trojans.

Carl Hardin also entered the select class in the allevents. when he added scores of 693 and 677 to his 683 team event to reach third place on a total of 2.053. All former records for city tourney play were shattered during this year's meet. During Saturday night's play the doubles team of Hardin and Fulton posted anew record total in this event, by rolling 1.363. ten pins better than the mark of 1.353 by the Schoen Bros., who had the help of a handicap allowance to secure this record mark of years ago. The former actual pin record was Fulton (the same player who broke the record) and Snyder, who scored 1.340 during the 1930 meet.

Wuensch's three-game total was 718 The league in which this postponed set was rolled is sanctioned but Wuensch loses his claim to an A. B.

Why sanctioned leagues fail to cover this important part of th~ regulations is a mvsterv. and the practice has resulted in the loss of the coveted medals for several bowlers in the past.

Tribe Buys Dudley Lee Veteran Shortstop Obtained From Hollywood of Coast Loop. The Indians completed another I deal with Hollywood of the Pacific j Ccast League over the week-end j and made an outright purchase of Shortstop Dudley Lee, veteran, who saw major league service with the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis, Browns. Lee is rated high class on defense j and is expected to bolster the Tribe j infield at the spot where it was weak ; last year. It is said Jonah Gold- j man, 1932 Indian shortstopper, will be sent to the Ft. Worth club of the Texas loop, where Norman A. Perry bought part interest recently. Swings Lefthanded Lee bats lefthanded and hit .271 I last season in 163 games with Holly- j wood. Manager Red Killefer thinks the veteran will help improve the execution of double plays, a depart- I ment of the game in which the In- ; dians were weak in 1932. It is Killefer s plan to shift Frank Sigafoos from second base to third and obtain anew keystone sacker of known swift fielding skill to team with Lee. The new Tribe shortstop is 31 years old. Third New Deal The purchase of Lee marks the third deal Killefer has completed with the Coach circuit the last few days. The other two transactions were trades, outfielder Doug Taitt for outfielder Marty Callaghan and pitcher Archie Campbell for pitcher Jim Turner. Signed contracts are slow in reaching Perry stadium. The athletes evidently desire to “moan” awhile over the new 7 curtailed salary limit before attaching their names to the agreements. Players signed to date are catchers Tom Angley, Johnny Riddle and Art Quiesser and pitcher Bill Thomas. I

TAKE a bow, Shortridge!. Mr. Kenny Peterman's north siders are the talk of the state today. And why shouldn't they be, after consecutive triumphs over Greencastle and Bloomington? Winning is getting to be a habit with the north siders. They appear to be serious about this idea of knocking off Tech in the sectional. “As predicted in this column Saturday,” your correspondent did this day receive and read several pieces of paper, through the courtesy of our postman, and did hear himself called many nasty names, etc. In the one and same day, Ole’ Backboard is accused of turning traitor to Tech and belittling Suortridge. This is commonly called “being put in the middle,” a pleasant pastime—when you are on one of the ends. It appears—at least, they tell me —that it’s impossible to ride with both the Techs and Shortridge. It must be one or the other. This de-

It happened this way: With the count 27 to 25. Ohio. Norman Cottom. flashy Purdue forward, broke for the basket and had a clear floor. It looked like an easy basket. But Beitner. Buckeye guard, deliberately shoved the flying Boilermaker as he was about to shoot, and Cottom missed. The officials immediately called the foul, but Beitner's deliberate offense was a little too much for Piggy, who rushed angrily on to the hardwood and grabbed Beitner. There was nothing else for officials to do but call the technical foul. Colburn made good on the toss, boosting the Buckeye total to 28, and then Cottom stepped to the charity mark and tossed in two free throws which would have tied the score. tt tt o J. Kampman, Wiley of Terre Haute forward, can sympathize with Piggy. Young Kampman batted in a field goal the other night that gave Brazil a victory over Wiley. It happened in the fourth quarter.

Challenger Ring Choice Coast Welter Gets Title Chance After Eight Years. i By United Frets SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 20.—Young Corbett, who has defeated most of j the recent welterweight boxing ; champions but was never in a title bout, gets his chance at fistic glory against Jackie Fields in a world's championship match here Wednesday. It has been a long road for the Fresno Italian they call the “uncrowned king” of the division, but the experts favor him to win after eight years of waiting for a title bout. Odds of 2 to 1 on Corbett broke today, but were expected to be at 10 to 7 on him -when he enters the ring. Corbett decisioned Jackie in ten ' rounds three years ago. The clial- : lenger has hammered down the ears | of every welterweight he met in rej cent years, including Jack Thompson and Lou Brouillard. ex-cham-pions.

Campbell’s Goal in Speed Test Is 273 Miles an Hour

BY HENRY M’LEMORE Fnited Press Staff Correspondent DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Feb. 20. —That question which has phzzled men of speed ever since Sir Malcolm Campbell began work on his super Bluebird—“ How fast does he expect to go?”—was answered Sunday night by the British racing driver himself. He hopes to go 273.24 miles an hour, thus smashing the world’s land speed record he established last year by twenty miles an hour. Campbell revealed his ambitions in a conversation in the lobby of the Princess Issena hotel. It’s doubtful if he meant to commit himself, for ever since his arrival in this country the question—How fast do you want to go this time?—has drawn no more of an answer than a smile. Sir Malcolm didn't tell his ambition in miles per hour, but in seconds. And it was in discussing the condition of the beach, not the Bluebird, that he said, “I’ll be satisfied if I clip one second off my 1932 time.” One second of his time means he'll thunder through the measured mile at 273.24 miles an hour. He required 14.175 seconds to cover the distance last year for a record of 253.97. Better that in one second and you have a mile in 13.175, or 273.24. The fact that a second means so much, once the 200-mile-an-hour mark is passed, is the reason Campbell is so anxious to make this year's run on a perfect beach. An imperfect racing strip can keep him from a record no matter how sweetly the Bluebird is attude.

Just how long Campbell will have to wait is problematical. In fact, right now the beach is hopeless, being rough and wet. The morning low tide usually finds it blanketed in a heavy fog.
