By Eddie Ash Coast Sports New Giant Strong Man m m m Indians to Leave French Lick Friday m m m Sidelights Picked Up Here and There
A 19-year-old Samson with the shoulders of an Atlas and the arms of a gorilla recently transferred to Stanford university at Palo Alto, Cal., from Menlo (Cal.) Junior college. The young Hercules—Gordon Glover Dunn—is the most remarkable strong man the Pacific coast has yet developed. He stands 6 feet o 1 \ inches tall weighs 246 pounds, and promises to shatter all existing records in the shot put and discus. On March 4. young Dunn crowned himself king of the far west strong men at the annual Long Beach relays. All he accomplished in one afternoon was: <l> Defeat John Anderson, 1932 Olympic games and National A. A. U. discus champion; <2> hurl the Grecian platter 157 feet 3 3 t inches to smash the meet record created by Dr. Clarence 'Bud) Houser in 1926; defeat Hueston Harper, second in the 1932 Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. shot put, in the latter’s specialty; '4) conquer in the shot put also. Bob Hall, former Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. champion from Southern California. In his first practice session this year, Dunn pitched the sixteen-pound shot 50 feet 10 inches to outdistance Nelson Gray of Stanford, Intercollegiate A. A A. A. champion last year. His electrifying toss of 157 leet. 3 i inches surpassed Houser's Olympic record of 155 feet 2 15-16 that stood until Anderson broke it in the 1932 Olympic games. Dunn has not yet learned how to throw the weights, it is said. He is so awkward, according to reports, that he invariably falls out of the back of the discus ring when he throws. Brute strength has enabled him to smash the former world records of a three-time Olympic champion like Houser and to defeat a world champion like Anderson. tt tt tt tt tt a tribe training progress slowed by rain The second squad of Indians consisting of infielders and outfielders reported at the French Lick training camp Sunday evening and joined Manager Killefer and the batterymen in pulling for a change in weather. The heavy rainfall has just about stymied the plans of the Tribe chief for early and heavy batting practice. The diamond at the Hoosier spa is on part of the golf links near the French Lick hotel and the turf was too wet Sunday and today to permit the athletes to get out and pound the horsehide. .... , . Killefer has the pitchers far enough along to give the sluggers plenty of work whenever the weather opens up. Owner Norman A. Perry reached camp Sunday and was accompanied by Ray White, shortstop. Others reporting at French Lick Sunday, after checking in at Indianapolis, were outfielders Callaghan, Crawford and Chapman, and infielders Lowell, Bedore and Norris. , , J , . „ Proxy Perry returned to Indianapolis today and Pilot Killefer also returned for a brief visit to settle some business matters. Killefer made an important announcement of a change in training plans as a result of the rain slowing the program at French Lick. He said he would leave for the south with his squad this Friday as a means of obtaining more hard work where dry weather prevails. He is not sure at this time of stopping off in Memphis on the way to Ft. Worth. Dates with the Memphis Chicks are tentative. It was announced that outfielders Purdy and Hufft are in training with the Ft. Worth club of the Texas League and will join the Indians when Killefer's pastimers invade the southland for an exhibition series, jim Turner, righthanded pitcher, also will report to the team when it arrives in Dixieland. Condon and Bell, both rookie hurlers, have been released. It was the first cut made in the squad. Several prominent Indians are holding out and salary negotiations still are in order between the club officials and the boys who are seeking “revised’’ terms. Walter Riley, Tribe secretary, will leave for Ft. Worth this week to arrange for the team's stay there and in Dallas after training at French Lick is completed. Norman Perry is part owner of the Ft,. Worth team. Hoosier headquarters there will be established at the Texas hotel. . _ . . , , _ . • Frank Sigafoos, veteran infielder, has signed, but has not reported. It is said he is driving through from California. The holdouts are pitchers Pete Daglia, Ernie Wingard and Johnnie Cooney; infielders Dudley Lee and H. Thomas, and outfielder Harry Rosenberg. * tt nun A PACKAGE IN TIME SAVES THE NINE DETROIT ball players at the San Antonio training camp have been bouncing the ball out of the park into a yard presided over by a tall gentleman. The club hired a retriever to bring back the balls. This retriever tramped up the neighborhood lawns liberally. Finally the tall gentleman called upon the call club management and threatened to run the team out of Texas if his lawn was again invaded. One of Owner Frank Navin’s friends called on the tall gentleman and left a package. Now the tall gentleman says he hopes the Detroit club will stay all year and they can play in his yard if they want to. The package was of the handle with care type. u a a o . TOM LOGAN, Perry stadium groundkeeper, is singing his theme song again as White River becomes menacing in front of the Tribe's big baseball plant. “River, Stay Away From My Door.” Logan warbles as he keeps a sharp eye on the sandbags. Tom has not been compelled to resort to the bulwarks since the stadium was built, but is not going to be caught napping in the event the high water gets out of control. The river was lapping at the shoreline trees today. n tt tt tt n tt Among the names of the winners in New York's Golden Gloves tournament were these: Jimmy Siclari, Harry Mangano, Jack Basilico, Louis Stipo, Leonard del Genio. Richard Cabello, Trip Collado, Joe Ferrone, Joe Presti, Tony Juliano, Henry Balsamo and Alex Valo. And, oh yes, there was a guy named Patrick O'Connell. tt tt a tt tt tt It took Young Corbett 111 nine years and 145 ring battles to reach the top as welterweight champion of the world. Amateur boxers who think the fistic profession is an easy path to fame and a bankroll might give Corbett's career deep thought. u tt tt tt tt a A patched and soiled sweatshirt worn for two years by Walter Beck, Memphis pitcher up with Brooklyn, still adorns the torso of the rookie in Miami. Walter is afraid his luck will do an about face if he discards the tattered blouse. He had successful seasons in 1931 and '32. Sports goods salesmen would be pleased if ball players would do away with superstitions and purchase new goods.

Cubs, Pirates and Cards One, Two, Three, McGraw Says; Giants Unimpressive
BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Telegram Sports Editor MIAMI, March 20.—The old fire horse of the National League —John J. McGraw—is sitting among the honored guests at one of the many dinners they throw down here, so I pull up my chair and sit down next to him. I say, "How are you, John?” and he comes back, quicker than that. "I am fine.” You just can't beat him for repartee. This led us, quite naturally, into the involved channels of baseball. “I like the Cubs to win the National League championship,” he said. "And I’ll take the Pirates for

second place and the Cardinals for the show money.” McGraw always has been an outspoken gent. He is still identified with the Giants in a business capacity. If you didn't know him you would be surprised that he failed to put in a professional blurb for the Giants. Even so. you find yourself curious as to how he feels about the ball club he managed for so many years. ‘•Th? Giants? Well, naturally. I would like to see them do very well, but facts are facts. They finished in a tie for sixth last year and if they can improve their position one or two places this year I will agree they have done nobly.”

Cleveland Ace Signs Wes Ferrell, Star Hurler, Leaves for Training Camp. Bi/ Times Special GREENSBORO, N. C., March 20. —Wesley Ferrell, young slab ace. who has won twenty or more games during his first three years in the big leagues with Cleveland, planned to leave today for the Indians’ training camp at New Orleans. Ferrell, who has been a holdout because the contract offered him called for $12,000, a heavy pay cut, said he would accept the latest Cleveland offer, which includes a $3,000 bonus if he wins twenty games. His brother, Rick Ferrell, St. Louis Browns’ catcher, and also a holdout, left for the Brownie camp at West Palm Beach, Fla., today to talk over terms. His 1932 pay was cut $2,000 to $7,000, and he has been a holdout,
Training Camps
By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.—Defeated by a 10 to 4 score in the morning at Oakland, the Chicago Cubs staged a ninth-inning rally to win the nightcap from the Pittsburgh Pirates in San Francisco on Sunday afternoon, 5 to 4, making it three out of four for the series. The Pirates flattened the offerings of Tinning in the sixth inning of the opener, scoring seven runs and placing the game in the bag. P. Waner, Traynor and Suhr each garnered three hits. Babe Herman’s ninth-inning single, with Bill Herman perched on second, gave the Cubs their winning marker in the second game. Lon Warneke was the winning pitcher and Meine the loser. tt tt tt LOS ANGELES, March 20.—Some terrific clouting, including nine two-base hits, featured Sunday's exhibition ball game in which the New York Giants thumped the Chicago White Sox. 13 to 8. Frank Grube, Sox catcher, got four hits in four trips, while Blondy Ryan, Giant shortstop, scored four runs with a double and two singles. Three Sox errors resulted in nine runs for the New Yorkers. Lyons, Walsh, Durham and Fieber gave the Gaints twelve hits while the Sox got fourteen off Starr. Farmelee and Bell. tt tt tt By United I'ress ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 20.—Making it five straight, the New York Yankees Sunday defeated the Boston Braves, 3 to 2. Dusty Cooke, outfielder, drove in the winning run in the sixth inning. The Yanks garnered eight hits ofl Frankhouse and Fallenstein, while the Braves collected only three off Pipgras and Jablonowski.. Nothing has developed in the Babe Ruth salary case. He worked out before the game Sunday. Pitcher Johnny Allen is ill with influenza. The Yanks loaned outfielder Myril Hoag to Newark for three days. This may be a hint of his ultimate destination. tt tt tt WINTER HAVEN. Fla.. March 30.—Gus Dugas, the former Pittsburgh fly-chaser who is filling in at first base for Don Hurst, holdout, was the new Phillies' hero today. He led the Phils to an 8-to-2 win over St. Louis Cardinals Sunday, getting four hits in four trips, one a triple, scoring three runs and handling ten chances without a bobble. tt tt tt BEAUMONT, Tex., March 20.—Charley Gehringer’s home run with two on the paths in the eighth inning featured Detroit's 9-to-5 win over Beaumont of the Texas League in an exhibition tilt here Sunday. tt tt tt MIAMI. Fla.. March 20.—Walter Beck, Owen Carroll and Van Mungo held Buffalo to six hits here Sunday, and the Brooklyn Dodgers defeated Buffalo of the International League. 4 to 1. tt tt tt WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., March 20.—Only one House of David player reached first base when the St. Louis Browns shut out the Bearded pastimers in an exhibition game here Sunday, 3 to 0. Dick Coffman and Wallace Hebert gave the David nine only one hit. tt o a SARASOTA. Fla . March 20.—Boston Red Sox received a 4 to 0 lacing from Newark of the International League Sunday. Weaver, 'Meadows and Miner held the Beantown boys to three hits. tt tt tt TAMPA. Fla., March 20.—Dutch Henry, veteran pitcher, was the only Cincinnati holdout today after Taylor Douthit. outfielder, signed his 1933 contract Sunday. The Beds lost to the Philadelphia Athletics Sunday, 9 to 5. after taking an early four run lead off Lefty Grove. Earnshaw and Walberg finished for the A’s. who got seven runs off Ray Kolp to triumph. 22 GIRLS' TEAMS IN A. A. U. TITLE EVENT By United Press WICHITA, Kansas, March 20. Twenty-two teams famous for speed and beauty will seek the national A. A. U. women's basketball championship in the annual tournament beginning here tonight. Six games will be played tonight but the four seeded teams will not see action until Tuesday. These are; Durant (Okla.) Presbyterian college, defending champions - Dallas (Tex.) Golden Cyclones, champions in 1931; Wichita tKan.i Thurstons, and Crescent college, Eureka Springs, Ark. Favorites are the champion Durant Presbyterians who have won fifty-eight consecutive games and have been undefeated for two years.
In other words McGraw’ seems to feel that if the Giants break into the first division they will have achieved what is known in football as a moral victory. Why does McGraw figure the Cubs to win again? "On account of Babe Herman. The Cubs' park is made to order for Herman and he will probably get a lot of extra base hits there. His addition to the lineup will give the team just the little extra kick that it needs. Another thing—Herman is a crowd player. He performs best in the big towns. Chicago will be an ideal spot for him.” But won't Lindstrom help Pittsburgh a great deal?

Barbasols Approach Elks’ Tourney Mark; Blue Shines in A. B. C. Play
BY LEFTY LEE The Barbasol team rolled into the lead in the team event of the Elk’s national tournament, now in progress on the Pritchett Recreation alleys, scoring 3,104 with games of 1,066, 991 and 1,047. Four of the boys were over the 600 mark in this set, Carmin rolling 662; Johnson, 633; Hueber, 612, and Fehr, 603, as Pritchett stopped at 594. This total is but thirty-nine pins short of the all-time record for this meet and the local boys would have posted anew mark had they secured the three taps and a cherry pick by Johnson on the 6-10 in the final game. Gray-Gribben and Gray and Cray’s Elks had great starts, but faltered in the final game to stop on totals of 2.887 and 2,852. The honor of tossing the first ball of the meet went to William Fahey, grand exalted ruler of the local Elks lodge No. 13. Fahey secured a pocket hit, but the 8-10 split remained standing. Frank Manning rolled immediately after Fahey and struck for the tourney’s first strike. Following the games at Pritchett’s the bowlers returned to the Elk clubrooms, where Fred McNeely. chairman of the entertainment committee, had arrangements completed for a show and lunch, which every one enjoyed. The rules of the tournament require teams to change alleys at the end of each game. When one of the booster teams had finished its first game. Walter Harshman, floor manager, requested it to move, but the captain of the team, in all seriousness, told Harsh that they had paid their rent (meaning the entry feel and it took a lot of explaining to adjust things. Sunday night the Indianapolis pin-men rolled their doubles and singles events and the members of the Barbasol team again took the spotlight. Johnny Fehr assuming three of the leading positions, rolling 1,315 with Jess Pritchett to take the lead in the doubles event, and 1,944 with sets of 603. 659 and 682 to top the all-events, in addition to the teams 3,104 score that leads this class of play. Don Johnson and Fred McNeely had the large crowd on its toes as they matched strike for strike in a battle to the finish for top honors in the singles division. These stars were rolling on the same pair of drives, and Johnson held a lead of four pins going into the final frame. McNeely struck out, for a total of 710, but Johnson w T as equal to the occasion and also struck out to score 714 and the lead. Fehr’s 682 was third. Other prize winning totals in the singles event were: Mills, C 44. Burns. 664; Meeker. 608; Miller, 633; Wiesman 663; Huber, 611; O'Grady, 638; Argus, 615, and Maher, 616. O'Grady and Carmin followed the Fehr and Pritchett combination in the doubles play. with a score of 1,248. while the third Barbasol combination, Hueber and Johnson. rolled. 1.237 for third place. Rassmussen and Wiesman rolled. 1,225, and Cobler and L. Fox. 1,218. Don Johnson’s great finish gave him a nine-game total of 1,933 which was second to Fehr's leading score. Lee Carmin took the show spot in this event with a count of 1.298. O'Grady rolled, 1.846; Hueber. 1,874 and Pritclxtt, 1,830 to put every member of their team over the 200 pin per game average, over the long route.

"That all depends. Most of all it depends on Lindstrom. He can be a good ball player or a bad ball player. He is what 3'cu fellows call temperamental. He needs handling. If he is handled right he will help Pittsburgh tremendously; if he isn’t, he will be just another fellow in a uniform. He is too much of a gamble to predict that his presence in the lineup will bring a championship to any team.” McGraw went on to talk about some of the other teams in the National League. Getting back to the Giants he thought a great deal depended on how Travis Jackson's knee behaved.

But not even a Ja- cson—or two or three of them—can win a championship for you.” McGraw tells you the Cardinals will miss Larry Gelbert, the shortstop who shot himself in the leg on a hunting trip last winter. "If Gilbert was fit and ready to go you would have to figure the Cardinals, but he is so much a part of the team that his absence even for a month or so may prove to be a disastrous handicap.” And the Brooklyns? “Well, they’ve got to get the pitching.”

BY DICK MILLER Martinsville, home of artesian wells and some great basketball players, again housed the Indiana high school cage championship today. The 1933 title was added to two previous crowns with a 27 to 24 victory over Greencastle in Butler fieldhouse. The title went back to Martinsville after a five-year absence. 16 was the fourth championship team coached by crafty Glen M. Curtis, who first won the shield w-ith Lebanon in 1918. He gave Martinsville its first title in 1924 and repeated in 1927 and in 1926 and 1928 he coached the runnerup teams in the state championship classics. It was this same mentor who slipped up on the 1933 basketball world with a championship team that hardly had been conceded an outside chance to get into the semi-finals. So carefully did Curtis guard his thoughts about his 1933 chances that few Martinsville fans felt the team had a chance and his own players received their final instructions to win in a secret practice at the Indianapolis Athletic Club gym the last day of the tournament. Greencastle, a favorite worked its way into the final game over a hard row. Two overtime games on Saturday morning and afternoon had sapped the Tiger Cubs stamina, but had failed to dim their fighting hearts. They fought a great battle, one they might have won, and when the final gun sounded giving the verdict to their opponents, these laris refused to give up and took two games out of the fire when it looked like they were doomed to lose, were heartbroken.
Martinsville held a one-point margin at. the end of the first quarter, 6 to 5, and the count was tied at 13-all at half time. The champions forged ahead, 21-17, at the three-quarter mark and were out in front, 23-18, when Greencastle started another of its thrilling uphill dashes that had been pulling previous games out of the fire. • Campbell Sinks Two Campbell connected with two field goals that narrowed the gap to one lone point, 23 to 22, Martinsville. Beasley was unguarded under his hoop and the Artesians counted, but Hammond tipped one in on a follow through and missed a free throw with a chance to tie the score. When Coyle scored from the field it was all over, as Martinsville held the ball while the seconds ticked away. It was a great piece of strategy on the part of Curtis to direct his team through as an outside dark horse and win the title. It was just an ordinary team that trailed all the way against Valparaiso until the last few minutes, when they drove through to a 23 to 20 victory. But it was apparent on Saturday morning, when his team battled Bedford, that Martinsville was strong. The Artesians had a stout defense that smothered known stars of the opposition and slowed down the opposing offensive play to their speed. Bedford was turned back, 22 to 18. The Curtismen had came from behind to win after staying within striking distance all the way. Artesians Trip Lions The fast-breaking North Side 'Ft. Wayne) offense was scouted carefully by Curtis as the upstaters upset Muncie in the last quarter-final game, 28 to 24. Martinsville got out in front and then went about the task of slowing down Ft. Wayne. They held the ball in what might be termed an offensive zone stall. 'This game ended 23-14 and into the finals went Martinsville. Everybody said Martinsville could not slow down Greencastle’s pace. There was not enough height to hold McAnally. There was not enough players with speed to match such stars as Hurst, Campbell and Godfrey, but when the teams battled Saturday night, the fans saw Beasley dribble from one end of the court to the other, with Greencastle’s speed merchants trailing him. He shot a field goal at a vital time. Shortridge Drops Thriller Martinsville had ruggedness and: appeared anything but tired after it was all over. It was a victory for ; science and skill. It exhibited the i value of the coaching fraternity. And it must be said that coach C. E. Edmonson of Greencastle displayed some fine judgment in substituting in the tournament and used practically his entire ten-man squad each game. In the other semi-final game Saturday, Greencastle defeated Shortridge, 31 to 28, in an overtime game after it had held a 16 to 7 lead at half-time, which was wiped out in the last half that ended 28 to 28. 1 But in the overtime, Hurst crashrd through for a field goal to break the i tie and McAnally added a free throw.
