SBy Eddie Ash Rods Are Flourishing Fnder Pilot Bush Klein ‘Dolls I’p* for Spring Training Vance Now Knows About the Depression

is no fooling about the new spirit in the spring training camp of Ownie Bush’s Cincinnati Reds at Tampa, according to stories tricking up from the south as the big league observers make the rounds of the different major headquarters. Chief Bush has told all interviewers the same thing, to wit: “You can make it as strong as you like. We won’t finish last.” Tho improved health of Chick Hafey. slugging outfielder, has made a big difference in the morale of the entire Queen City squad, it is said. He looks in splendid condition and doubtless is destined to enjoy a great season. The star veteran was handicapped much of last year by illness and his absence took a lot of power away from the team's attack. He is one of the best right-handed wallopers in the game when he's in Ihe "pink." Manager Bush is showing no signs of weakening on his opinion about the Babe Herman deal with the Chicago Cubs. He things well of Bob Sm.th as a pitcher and asserts Johnny Moore stands an excellent chance of beating out Taylor Douthit in the outfield even if Douthit comes in of! the holdout list. Moreover, Rollie Hemsley will pep up the catching stall. Bush avers Moore and Hemsley, plus a bundle of cash, switched to Cincy in the Herman transaction. Jim Bottomley’s presence at first base will make so much improvement in the general play of the club that fans will be amazed, Bush has told visiting newspaper men. The Reds have been weak at that spot in late seasons. Bush is mighty proud of the industrious way Sunny Jim is performing in camp. Bush is a scrapper of the old school and is sure to impress the Rhineland rooters when he clears for action and starts pulling for runs. There is no "quit" in the peppery Indianapolis Hoosier. tt a a nan ( HICK (,IVKS PHIL MATES AN EYEFUL SEEMS as though Chuck Klein, Indianapolis boy with the Phillies, has crashed the high hat league. The big fellow showed up down in training camp at winter Haven, Fla., all dolled up and carrying baggage much in the manner of a lashionable -round-the-world tourist. He’s unspoiled, though, the Philly Scribes say. Same good-natured Chuck, with smart clothes and quiet poise as the "home boys" know him. Here's’what Stan Baumgartner, in camp with the Phils, has to say in the Philadelphia Inquirer: "Seven years ago Klein joined the Phillies with a carpet bag, woolen underwear, a few khaki shirts and a toothbrush. Today a wardrobe trunk, two suitcases and a traveling bag are spaced about his room. Ties and shoes and shirts! It seemed he must have hundreds ol them—silk shirts from Japan, ties from France and suits from England.’ Conversing with Chuck further, Baumgartner asked the Hammering Hoosier how he learned to hit. and here’s the way the noted Indianapolis diamond prominent explained it: "I just learned. Maybe I did get my ideas from watching Jay Kirke hit. He could hit that pea and he could hit it off his shin, off the button atop his cap or any place. “Jay was playing first base for Indianapolis one day when the visiting pitcher threw a bean ball directly at his head. Did he duck it? He did not. He swung and smashed it over the f#ice. I said to myself, if I ever play baseball I’m going to hit like Jay Kirke.” Efforts to coal out a pennant prediction for the Phillies on the part of Klein met with no success. Chuck said: “I never make any predictions. I never say what I will do. 1 just believe in going out there every day and doing the best you can. I believe that we have a good club, particularly in reserve strength, something we did not have last season. The pitchers look good, too, but as far as prophesying a pennant—it depends on the breaks too much.” tt tt tt a tt tt VANCE, veteran pitcher, signed with the St. Louis Cardinals late Friday and brought to an end a long holdout controversy that finally left the speedball righthander out on a limb. Last season was his eleventh with the Brooklyn Dodgers and his troubles started when tiie Flatbush officials sent him a contract for 1933 calling for a reduction of SG,OOO. Ho received $15,000 in 1932 and had just a fair season. Vance became indignant and mailed back the papers that would have assured him $9,000 for ‘‘taking his turn" on the Brooklyn mound this year. He made a costly mistake when he pasted that 3-cent stamp on the return envelope. The Dodger bosses became aroused and looked around for a deal that would carry Vance to new scenery. They traded him to the Cardinals, along with infielder Gordon Slade for pitcher Owen Carroll and infielder Jake Flowers. Slade and Flowers were substitute players last year and Carroll was with the Cincy Reds. After the trade, Vance’s salary controversy began anew. The Cardinals toe', the $9,000 figure offered by Brooklyn and shaved it SI,OOO. Dazzy was shocked at a cut from $15,000 to SB,OOO over winter and threatened to retire. He changed his mind Friday and signed. He owns a hotel at Homosassa Springs, Fla., but lodging houses in Florida run at a loss in the summer. Memories of 1931 are sure to haunt Vance when the St. Louis heat is burning him up this summer. He received $25,000 two years ago. tt tt tt B tt tt SIDNEY WEIL, president of the Cincy Reds, made an interesting comparison in ball player salaries the other day. His statistics brought out the difference between "then and now.” In 1919, when Cincinnati won the pennant, the club pay roll for the year was less than SIOO,OOO. Last year, when the Redlegs finished last, total salaries amounted to more than $200,000. tt tt tt tt tt tt On the other hand, boxing records discloses, seats sold as high as $125 twenty-five years ago when Tommy Burns, parading as world’s heavyweight champion, met Jem Roche in Dublin, Ireland, on St. Patrick's day. The fans were swindled on action, Burns winning by knockcut in the first round. It cost ringsiders $125 merely to sit down. tt tt tt tt tt tt Shortridge took that Kokomo cage quintet in such smooth fashion Friday that it even made the downcast Tech onlookers dizzy. The Blue Devils reduced the Wildcats to kittens. tt tt a tt tt tt Tony Cuccinello, Italian infielder with Brooklyn, was being examined by the club trainer, who reached the conclusion the player had a fallen arch The trainer said: “Tony, it looks like metatarsal trouble.” Cuccinello.asked: "Is it contagious?"

Joe Nearly Goes Overboard During Venture as Deep Sea Angler

BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Telegram Sports Editor MIAMI. Fla., March 18.—One of several forms of insanity which flourish in the semi-tropics under the guise of sport is deep sea fishing. and sooner or later everybody who comes down here succumbs to the malady. I had beaten it off for three or four years under one pretense or another and I had about decided that I was immune from the morbid poison, when all of a sudden I was lured to my downfall. I was seated on the sun porch sipping a

fair a draw. Even Jeby's battered face registered surprise. The crowd booed. Newspaper men were unanimous in the opinion that it was one of the worst decisions in New York's boxing history. The United Press score sheet gave Dundee eleven rounds. Jeby two and made two even. Most of the writers gave Dundee the decision by a wide margin. Disagreement of the officials resulted in the draw verdict. Jeby, who won the title two months ago. was a sorry looking champion after the final gong. Dundee's darting left jabs, pounding on his face during most of the rounds, had done plenty of damage. MICHIGAN SETS PACE By United Press CHICAGO.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1933

| come of the third game of the morning between two old rivals, Bedford and Martinsville, with Muncie and North Side of Ft. i Wayne winding up the morning program at 11:30. Semi-finals this afternoon at 2:30 and 3:30 between the winners of the morning games will reduce the field to two teams who will fight it i out for the state title tonight at 8. The first day program passed with only one upset in the eight game program. Vincennes provided the surprise with a 40 to 32 win over Connersville. Glass. Vincennes* big center, and Sleet, the little Negro player of Connersville, were the class of the performers in the first round. Beaver Dam put up a great battle against North Side of Ft, Wayne, Friday night, only to fall behind in the last three minutes to lose by twelve points, 37 to 25. Kern of Beaver Dam poured in four field goals in the first half to help his team gain a 9-8 edge at the quarter and be only two points behind 19-17 at half time. The third period was a thriller, ending 23-23, and then North Side cut loose, with Blume, Shafenacker, and Schecter leading the way. Muncie looked impressive in its night game against Franklin and won handily, 38 to 14. Down in the lower bracket with the teams none of whom have been publicized all season, the Bearcats have a great chance to crash through to the final game tonight, while several of the state's best teams fight it out in the upper half of the bracket. Bedford remained in the show simply because Speer, a forward, fired six shots from well out on the floor, four of them in the first half, that partially unnerved the wellbalanced Hazelton team. Bedford led 9-5 at the quarter, but trailed 14-1! at half time. Hazelton held a 20-to-16 lead at the threequarter mark, and almost appeared a winner until Richardson connected with a couple that put the Stonecutters back in the race. With twenty seconds to go and the score tied, it was Richardson who batted one in to give his team a 26-24 win. Martinsville was another team that trailed all the way, only to win over Valparaiso at the end. The Artesians were behind 6 to 2 at the quarter, 10 to 8 at the half and 14 to 12 at the three-quarter mark. Their ability to stay up close was the advantage because in staying close they did so in spite of the fact that shot after shot all coming close failed. Cramer and Coyle pushed the Artesians out in front just before the final gun, 23 to 20. Shortridge, Indianapolis hope, looked very impressive with a 36-15 victory over Kokomo and all the Blue Devil lineup contributed to the scoring that kept them well out in front all the way. Greencastle, a tourney favorite of many, toyed with Wakarusa. 32 to 17 and Logansport easily outdistanced Michigantown, 22 to 12. KOLLN PINS NENOFF Bewhiskered Matman Captures Armory Feature Event Friday. Henry Kolln, bewhiskered Benton Harbor middleweight, pinned Steve Nenoff, also of Michigan, in the feature wrestling event at the Armory Friday night. Kolln, who is unbeaten here, captured the first fail in thirteen minutes and the third in four minutes. Nenoff took the second in four minutes. Leo Donoghue, Florida junior middleweight, wrestled thirty minutes to a draw with lota Shima, Japan: Ed Baker and Harry Burris drew in thirty minutes, and Hugh Webb tossed John Purdy in ten minutes in other events.

"Reel him in.” he shouted. I bore down heavily, but made very little headway.” McDonald and Sarazen smiled. “That's the sport of fishing.” they beamed. "You see, he is giving you a fight,” Eut I didn't want a fight. I did not even want a fish. I could go to any fish market and get any kind of fish that ever swam for a nominal sum. It was a king fish, a beautiful specimen at least seven feet long and it must have weighed seventy pounds. My companions are going around saying its a sleepy mud cat that weighed les sthan six pounds.

By United Press PHILADELPHIA. Pa.. March 18. —William A. (Bill) Carr, 22, world and Olympic 400-meter champion and captain-elect of the University of Pennsylvania track team, lay on a hospital cot today facing the possibility that he may never run again. He suffered serious injuries Friday night in an automobile accit dent. Although not in critical condition, 1 Carr’s pelvis and ankle were believed to have been fractured and physicians at the university hospital said he may have suffered internal injuries. X-ray examinations will be made today. Carr, the dark-haired Arkansas boy who thrilled the track world with his speed and superb running form, was standing on the running board of an automobile driven by Seward H. French Jr. of Binghamton, N. Y., when the car and another driven by F. Joseph Rach collided at Bala, near Philadelphia. Carr was the only one injured. He was flung twenty feet. He had jumped on to the running board only a block away from where the cars crashed. Lawson Robertson, Pennsylvania track coach, ordered Carr taken to the university hospital. Robertson said, "Bill may fool the doctors. He’s a rugged fellow.” The doctors said they were positive Carr would not be able to compete this spring * and doubted whether he could even return to important competition. Carr’s last notable track performance on the night of March 4, when he ran the fastest indoor quarter-mile ever clocked, to give the Penn relay team a victory in the intercollegiate championships and anew world mark of 3:17 for the mile relay. Carr clicked his quarter in :48.
