By Eddie Ash Condition of Al Simmons Blow to Sox m m 9 ‘Sarazen Plan’ Is Next Links Feature mum Sportland Comment and Sidelights

'' ''

JUST when the stove league season was closing and the spring training season getting under way, the Chicago White Sox officials and fans were knocked back on their heels with the startling news that A1 Simmons, famous slugger purchased for a small fortune from the Athletics, is ill. All winter the followers of the Alabaster Hose have pinned faith in the bat of Simmons to serve as the main factor in lifting the team out of the rut. Owner Louis Comiskey set the baseball world agog last fall when he went deep into his bankroll and bought Simmons, Mule Haas and Jimmy Dykes from Philadelphia. Tonight the first squad of Sox is scheduled to depart for training camp at Pasadena Cal. The boys will leave all right, but spirits will be somewhat low compared with the happy frame of mind everybody connected with the club had been in during the off-season. Sometime ago it was learned Simmons had given up playing goli at Hot Springs, Ark., owing to a bruised hand. Now the hand trouble is described as an ailment. A1 had three teeth extracted as an emergency measure and it Is said he will lose two more molars. It is reported Simmons won't be in shape to join his mates in the California camp for an indefinite period, at least ten days. Fact is, Simmons’ physician at Hot springs has intimated he may send the player north for a complete going-over, special treatment and rest. Ai batted 322 for the Athletics last year and his extra base wallops included 28 doubles, 9 triples and 35 home runs. Moreover, the big Milwaukee Pole batted In 151 runs, tying Lou Gehrig for second place in that highly-regarded department of baseball. He also carried across 144 runs himself. Jimmy Foxx was high in the American League in runs batted in with 169. The sympathy of the baseball public will go to young Comiskey if Simmons fails to regain his health in time to start the season in left field for Manager Fonseca’s Windy City south siders. Al is 30 years old, weighs 195 and is a near six-footer. a a an n a GOLF SURVEY ALONG WITH CUP TEST LEADERS in the links profession, pros and amateurs, soon will gather in Miami, playground of Florida, to give the first important test to Gene Sarazen’s big cup campaign. It will be the $5,000 Florida YearRound Clubs open, which will be staged with six-inch cups at the Miami Biltmore Country Club, March 3, 4 and 5. The novel tournament is being sponsored by Colonel Henry L. Doherty, golf's greatest angel, who has placed $20,000 on the line for the pasture boys since March a year ago. Sarazen started the controversial ball rolling, but admitted after a personal test that at eight inches he had set the golf-hole estimate too big. The American ana British open champion now thinks the six-inch cup will revolutionize the game. The answer isn’t going to be left hanging in the air. In addition to the comparison of scoring standards, made possible because the SIO,OOO Miami Biltmore open was played over the same course in November, with almost the same field, a novel analysis will be made during the Year-Round open. Each of the great players v/ill be accompanied by a special scorer, who will note his length of driving, accuracy in searching cut the pins and stroke-saving abilities around the greens. Alter the tournament this material will be tabulated and analyzed, and the winner’s methods pointed out. The survey also will settle some long-standing arguments over which star drives farthest in competition, which hits the most greens, and which has the deadlier short game. Not only the six-inch cups, but the game’s leading players, will be under the microscope. a a a a a a MAY HAVE TO RECALL BOBBY OAGING Bobby Jones!' 1 The United States Golf Association faces A another loss in revenue this year. Many golfers were caught in the wash of the S. S Depression the same as followers and players of other lines of sports. U. S. G. A. receipts in dues from member clubs in 1932 were $28,595, and in 1930 amounted to approximately $30,000. The retirement of Jones, plus bad business conditions, combined to make a big difference at the golf box offices. Admission tickets sold for the National Amateur and National Open last year totaled $15,967.75. In 1930, receipts for the same events were $51,042.25. The fans paid $27,659.50 to watch Bobby Jones at Merion and $23,382.75 at Minneapolis. MAC HANDS TOP HONORS TO LOU THE best first baseman ever to don a glove was not Pop Anson, Dan Brotfthers, Fred Tenney, Hal Chase or Frank Chance. The best first baseman of baseball is Lou Gehrig. That's the opinion of Joe McCarthy, portly and wise leader of the champion New York Yankees. Joe recently attended a banquet given the champion Newark Bears of the International League. He was sitting next to a speaker who chanced to remark that Gehrig was one of the game’s greatest first basemen. McCarthy commented: “Not one of the greatest, but the greatest.” a a a a a a Here's one: Ossie Bluege, veteran and crack third baseman of the Washington Senators, made a radio talk the other day and among other things said: “Umpires, not players, should be more gentlemanly on the field and listen attentively to the honest protest of the players.” It looks like Ossie’s luck on close ones this year will be all bad. a a a a a a One of the first official acts of Al Feeney, new state safety director of Indiana, as well as new chief of boxing and wrestling, was to turn down an application for a wrestling (not boxing) bout between Big Gawge Godfrey, giant Negro, and Chuck Wiggins.

Butler Squad Cinches Missouri \ alley Toga

One more victory and Butler’s Bulldogs will be 1933 champions of the Missouri Valley conference cage campaign. Tony Hinkle's improved hardwood machine virtually clinched the crown Wednesday night with a thrilling 45 to 33 triumph over Creighton, defending champion, before the largest crowd of the season at the fieldhouse. Drake's Bulldogs come here Saturday night for the final Valley tussle of the season. Although Drake is the only other team in the league holding a victory over Creighton, the Bulldogs will be big favorites. They defeated Drake in the west recently. A brilliant defense which confined most of Creighton's firing to long range, and a snappy offense provided the victory margin for Butler Wednesday. Butler swept into an early lead and held a 23 to 12 margin at half time-. Three consecutive long shots by Keily, Creighton captain and guard, brought the Omaha team within five points of the Bulldogs. But Butler bombarded the hoop to pull into a safe lead and re-

serves finished the final minutes of the game. Gene Demmary, elongated sophomore center, played a sparkling game for the locals. He outjumped Schmidt, 6 foot 8 inch Creighton pivot, and effectively tied up the giant on defense. Cy Proffitt was taken from the game in the first ten minutes of play, after committing three personal fouls, but Demmary starred in the relief role. Bert Davis topped the local scorers with fourteen points, but the fine defensive play of Miller, Baird and Parrish, who also got their share of points, also was outstanding.

Young Corbett Raps Fields to Take Title

By United Press SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 23. Young Corbett, swarthy Italian from Fresno, Cal., reigned as welterweight cnampion of the world today by virtue of a ten-round decision over Jackie Fields. A haggard-appearing Fields faced the “uncrowned champ” in Seals stadium before a crowd of 20,000 Wednesday afternoon. He was game to the end. but his two-fisted infighting was not vicious enough to stop the sharpshooting tactics of Corbett, who made good in his first real chance at the title. Corbett decisioned Fields three years ago in a non-titular battle, and previous to that he won over Young Jack Thompson in a fight

Off The Backboard

GIDDAP, Greencastle, we’re headed for a state championship! Ole’ Backboard today casts his 1933 lot with C. E. Edmonson’s fighting Tiger Cubs. “Always a bridesmaid, never a bride” certainly applies to Greencastle in basketball. Twice in the last two years, the college town boys have knocked on fame’s door, only to be turned back. They were bumped by Muncie's champions in the title struggle of the 1931 carnival, and last year they tumbled to Newcastle’s champions in the semifinals. But this year they -are going through! Everything a champion heeds Greencastle has—and plenty of it. , In experience, one of the greatest requisites, the Tiger Cubs will have it all over the rest of the field. Eight of the ten warriors who will carry the Purple and White into battle have had previous state tournament experience. Two of the mainstays, Marion Hurst and smiling Jess McAnally, were unanimous all-state selections last year. And McAnally, a great leader, grabbed premier honors by being awarded Jake Gimbel's sportsmanship trophy in 1932. EXPERIENCE alone never won a Hoosier prep basketball championship. however. It takes ability, and if cold figures will impress you, here they are: Greencastle has played twenty-two games, twelve on the home court and ten on the road. They’ve been short-enders four times, were tied once by Shelbyville in a triple overtime game, and finished on the Tight side seventeen times. In the twenty-two games, the Tiger Cubs have registered 673 points, an average of 30.6 points a game, which, in any man's league, will win a lot of ball games. Their opponents have bagged a total of 444 points, an average of 20.2 points a game, which would be proof enough that tne Cubs know- how to stop the other outfits. In field goals, the Greencastle average is slightly more than thirteen a game and the opponents have averaged seven a game. 9 9 9 GREENCASTLE tumbled twice to Washington, once to Bloomington and once to our own Shortridge. Greencastle hasn’t tried to alibi these defeats, but each fall has resulted in a bounce back up the ladder. From midseason, they won nine in a row before tripping in an overtime tussle with Shortridge a week ago. Greencastle has no easy row to hoe in getting to Mr. Ihsaa's big pageant at the fieldhouse. They've got Bainbridge to dispose of in the sectional, and the Pointers plan to make things tough for Edmonson's boys. In the regional at Crawfordsville, the Athenians and Clinton have hopes of tripping up Ole’ Backboard's title hopes. When Greencastle takes the floor j for tourney action, the Cubs will I line up wit t Hammond and Campi bell, a six-foot sharpshoot--1 ers, at forwards. Both have devel-

One defeat means elimination. All scraps w’ill be for three rounds to a decision, each round of two minutes duration, and no draws. Boxers will be kept moving fast and there will be no loss of time between matches Golden Gloves medals will be awarded the finals victor in each class tonight and the runners-up will receive silver medals. The eight champs will leave Sunday for Chicago to represent Indianapolis in the Tournament of Champions at the Chicago stadium next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. District winners from all over the middle west and south will compete in the Chicago classic, under auspices of the Chicago Tribune.

that “didn’t count.” Wednesday he tore into the champion v;ith everything he had, and the result never was in doubt. Both weighed 147. Corbett w r on the first five rounds, in the opinion of Lieut. Jack Kennedy of the U. S. Navy, referee. Fields, with a barrage of body punches, won the sixth, but Corbett had Fields w r obbly in the seventh. The eighth was even, and Fields’ driving attack won him the ninth. Corbett clinched the fight in the tenth when he outslugged Fields. Corbett’s left eye was swollen shut and his nose wa-s a shapeless mass when the fight ended and his hand was raised. But he was in far better shape than Fields.

Sir Malcolm Not to Try Again This Year Brave Briton Tells Horrors of Maddest, Most BreathTaking Speed Dash in History: He’s Thoroughly Dissatisfied With 272 Miles an Hour. BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Tress Staff Correspondent DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Feb. 23.—Though thoroughly dissatisfied with the new world's land speed record of 272.108 miles an hour he * established Wednesday in the maddest, mast breath-taking ride Daytona's beach speedway has seen. Sir Malcolm Campbell will not try to improve the mark this year. Any running he does before he returns to England on the Aquitania. March 2, will be from a standing start. And he isn't at all sure he will take a shot even at, this comparatively tame record of 100.7 M. P. H., W’hich is now held oy a countryman, Kaye Don. “Whether I run any more depends on how my injured wrist comes around, how : the car shapes up after a thorough inspection, and how the beach looks the next few days,” the British driving ace said today. “Naturally, I would like to try to raise the mark I made Wednesday, but with the racing strip as it is, I'd be foolish. I wouldn't have a hope of improving it. by more than a few miles, and I’d ruin the greatest car in the world. Another trip over that beach as it now stands and Bluebird, stout old girl that she is, would be shaken to pieces.”

Campbell, who in the past has minimized the hazards of a high speed run. today continued to talk of the horrors of the run that saw him smash his own record by better than eighteen miles an hour. Car Left Ground “You'll never know how bloody dreadful it was,” he said as he sunned himself on the hotel porch. “It was the worst ride a man ever took. One minute heading straight into the dunes and crowd, and the next riding straight into the sea. And all the time the car bumping and bucking like something mad. "My men tell me that they traced my tracks after the bloody business was over and found at least four places where old Bluebird literally jumped off the ground and sailed through space. But the old girl stood it, didn't she? And didn't she run magnificently! If I hadn't known she wouldn't fail me, no matter how rough the going, I don't know if I w/ould have made that return trip.” Was there a time during the run w’hen he thought death was imminent? Believed Death Near “Definitely, yes. Did you see me just after I passed the measured mile on the first run? That was the time, by Harry, when I shot blindly out of a patch of mist and found myself a scant 10 feet from the flags along the water’s edge and shooting straight toward the surf. There wasn’t but one thing to do, so I hooked her over. And in hooking her over I shot straight toward the dunes. So there I was. my goggles bouncing up and down over my eyes, my nose and mouth choked w’ith sand and burning fumes, heading, at a speed of 135 yards per second, toward the soft sand which would kill me like that. It was a damnably nasty moment. But somehow I got out of it.” Campbell's tires bore mute testimony to the wildness of that ride Wednesday. We Inspected them in the garage today, and they looked as if someone had shot them will a full load of buckshot. There wasn’t a whole spot on the entire running surface and in many places whole chunks of rubber had been ripped off. May Try in 1934 Campbell expressed the opinion that the unfavorable weather and poor visibility cost him at least a full second. If this is true, he would have made the almost unbelievable time of 300 miles over a perfect beach. We asked Campbell, now in his forty-eighth year, if he would make another try in 1934. “I would like nothing better,” he answered. “And I think old Bluebird would like another chance—a chance to show what she can do when conditions are right.” GREYHOUNDS TAKE ON SYCAMORE QUINTET Indiana Central, with fourteen victories and two defeats this season will seek revenge for a recent loss to Indiana State when they tackle the Sycamores at Terre Haute tonuight.
