far back as seven years ago the ring experts dug aj grave in the pugilistic boneyard for Johnny Risko, baker boy heavyweight of Cleveland. Then he amazed everybody by beating the stuffing out of the hard-hitting, Paul Berlenbach, then known as the Astoria Assassin of fistiana. Three years later Risko was labeled “definitely washed up” again w'hen one of German Maxie Schmeling's right-hand punches pitched from some place out in the audience, caught him flush on the button and knocked him stiff. Thai was in 1929, but Johnny kept right on fighting in the sticks, engaging this “ham” and that, with indifferent success. Something must have happened for the better in 1932. Johnny made only three starts, against Mickey Walker, Tuffy Griffiths and King Levinsky, and won all three. Recently Risko showed a lot of fans in Madison Square Garden that j those rumors of his ring demise were exaggerated when he beat the i ambitious Chicago King Levinsky again. Johnny insists that Schmeling beat him with a surprise and lucky punch four years ago and that he was far ahead of the German and would have won but for a moment of overconfident carelessness. The Cleveland Rubber Man is now ready to climb right back among the top j flight heavies. SENATOR"ROOKIE BLAZED UNDER* LIGHTS WASHINGTON has a rookie who is claiming a lot of attention in i training camp down in Biloxi, Miss He is Ed Link and perhaps : he may be the missing cog in Joe Cronin's Senator mound staff. The pitcher from the sticks is a product of night oaseball in Davenport, Mississippi Valley League, where he ranked ace high over all. They do say Edward threm ’em so fast in the afterdark games that opposing batsmen almost rebelled when their turns arrived to step up to the plate and tremble when Link wound up. The buslier is 21, stands 5 feet 11 inches and balances the scales around the 200 mark. He weighed 205 when he first reached Biloxi and the Senator trainer soon had him down to 198, which is evidence the young man w-as well fed this winter. He is a righthander. Link s record at Davenport credited him with nineteen victories against nine defeats and he saw service in thirty games. Most amaz- j ing, however, is his strikeout record of 228, which indicates the youth ! either is a speed merchant or the lights in Davenport were short of juice, i In twenty-six starting games, according to Link’s story, he was i knocked out of the box only once. It will be interesting to see how well the Valley graduate progresses in the big league sunlight. ** n n a T T takes a long time for a roller polo player to dress. He has various 1 gadgets to don, his tight-fitting uniform must be smoothed out and skates adjusted. The other night in Ft. Wayne, Ted Lewis, veteran second rush oi the Indianapolis team, spent the usual period in the clubroom getting leadied up and chatting all the while. It was time to go out on the floor to play and the Indian players arose and started f> the rink. ' Where s your tights, Ted?” somebody shouted. Sure enough. Lewi.-, had forgotten to pull on his playing “drawers” and was headed for the all-seeing public minus a very important part of his playing wardrobe “That would have been a better joke in the old days, when I was young and handsome,” Ted commented. nh u n n TJEFORE Charlie Gchringer started for San Antonio to join the Tigers in their training antics, he stopped in Detroit and shopped for a few bats. Gchringer is very particular about his sticks. The first thing he looks for, says Charlie, is a wide grain with knots in the hitting area. He's tickled when he finds a bat full of knots in the big end and he prefers ash to hickory. Gehringer’s bat must weight 36 ounces and be 34 inches long and must have balance, which he is able to detect as soon as he picks it up. Ball players use about two dozen bats a season.

Louisville in Bad Fix Colonels Fear They Won’t Be Able to Start Season. By Times Special LOUISVILLE. March 4. Halted in its stock selling campaign by economic conditions due to the bank situation, the Louisville Colonels seem to be in doubt about obtaining sufficient finances to retain its franchise in the American Association. In other words, some close observers of economic conditions here fear the city will have to get along without organized baseball this year if there is not an immediate pick-up in general conditions. In the event Louisville is compelled to drop out, the A. A. will face the problem of finding another city to replace the Colonels or perhaps cut the league to six clubs. Local club officials announced Thursday night they had cancelled the week of spring training at Dawson Springs and that all of the workouts would be held at Parkway field here, 'it is another retrenchment move, and anyway, conditions for baseball training at the Springs are none too good.
