By Eddie Ash ‘Second Lou Gehrig’ Reported on Coast mum Houston Rescues Prospect From Ozarks m m m Former Hoosier Quits Pro Grid Champs

t'REI) HOFMANN, former big league and American AssoX ciation catcher, lias startled Pacific coast baseball circles with the announcement he believes he has found a diamond nugget built along the lines of Lou Gehrig “and as promising now as Lou was in 1923 when the Yankees picked him off the campus of Columbia university.’’ Hoffman was a backstop for the Yankees when Gehrig broke in and assisted Lou in learning the major pointers, though it will be recalled that the New Yorker was farmed to Hartford for a year. Hofmann is now mauager of the Mission club of the Coast League and the name of his reported find is Roy Mort, 19, who stands more than six feet and weighs about 185. Like Gehrig. Mort is a lefthander and is a former high school star. “By next year,” says Hofmann, “Mort will be a clever fielder and heavy hitter, or I'll miss my guess. He’ll need a season in the little minors before he’s ready for class AA and we plan to farm him. ’ a a a a a a •DIZZY TITLE’ PASSES TO ELMER DEAN F'RED ANKENMAN, who introduced Jerome (Dizzy) Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals to the baseball world, now takes pleasure in presenting Elmer, another eccentric member of the Dean clan. Ankenman has signed Elmer as roosie outfielder for the 1933 Houston Buffaloes of the Texas League. He is Dizzy’s brother, and, according to Ankenman, three times as dizzy at Dizzy I, and four times as dizzy as Dizzy 11, Paul Dean of the Columbus A. A. club. Last year Elmer played for Dardanelles, Ark., deep in the Ozarks. He admits he is a “right smart country ball player.” Four years ago Elmer wandered away from the Dean home in Houston. Until he was discovered chopping wood and playing ball in his spare time last fall, he was entirely lost to the rest of the family. Not until a fan noted a certain physical resemblance was Elmer's relationship to the famous Dizzy discovered. Word of his whereabouts soon thereafter reached A. M. (Paw) Dean, living in Houston. The result was that Paw traveled to the Ozarks, put shoes on Elmer and brought him before Ankenman. The latter presented a contract and showed Elmer where to sign. Elmer could not write. Ankenman then wrote Elmer's name for him and told him to make his ”X' in the proper place. Elmer is over six feet tall, weighs 180 pounds, has hands like hams and doesn’t know his age. a it a a a a RALPH JONES ACCEPTS LAKE FOREST POST THE versatile Ralph Jones has accepted the post of athletic director at Lake Forest college, Lake Forest, 111. He will coach football, basketball and baseball as well as surpervise all sports there. Last fall Jones coacher the Chicago Bears professional football team and led it to the national championship. Veteran followers of athletics in Indiana will remember him although he has been out of the Hoosier state for years. Originally out of Indianapolis, Jones went to Crawfordsville and built up basketball in the early days of the net game. He was a Y. M. C. A. physical director at first. Later he developed all-star basket teams at Crawfordsville high school and Wabash college and practically placed the foundation for the cage pastime in this state. Jones followed the Indian, Francis Cayou, at Wabash, and coached the Little Giants in four sports, football, basketball, baseball and track. He moved up to Purdue, then to Illinois and in recent years has been connected at Lake Forest academy and with the National Professional Football League. Many prominent coaches of the current era were pupils under the former Indianapolis men. “Practical Basketball,” authorized by Ward Lambert, coach at Purdue university, is dedicated to Jones, who was Lambert’s net teacher at Crawfordsville high school and Wabash college. a a a 'ana NEW BOSS OF SAINTS STOPS FOR CHAT EMMET M'CANN, 1932 pilot of the Indianapolis club and now the manager of the St. Paul Saints, made a short stop in the city late Tuesday en route to Louisville, where he will take charge of his new team in training. The Apostles will go through the spring routine at Parkway field in Derbytown at different hours than the Colonels. Owners Kneblekamp of the Colonels and Connery of the Saints decided to curtail training expenses in a big way by using the same field just across the Ohio river, but if the ground doesn’t dry up shortly their ball clubs won’t get in enough work to do much good. Indianapolis has a couple of exhibition tilts scheduled with the Saints at Perry stadium here on April 8 and 9. / McCann said the holdout situation is bothering his club the same as other A. A. teams, but expressed the opinion “all the boys” will come through in time. The Saints finished seventh last year and McCann will have a job on his hands to lift them out of the second division. “I believe we'll make it, though,” he said. “Mac” inquired if there ’were any sea planes handy in these parts in the event he becomes marooned in Louisville. ana nan QUAKES AND FLOODS KEEP KILLEFERS BUSY LOST RIVER found itself and brought much embarrassment to the Indians down in Orange county. Indiana. There’s no mystery about the stream, Manager Wade (Hip Boots) Killefer said, as it flooded his diamond and chased his athletes to high ground. Mrs. Killefer, in southern California, clipped earthquake pictures and sent them to Wade and he is making a collection of choice Hoosier flood views to send out there. “Nothing like keeping the grief even-up in the Killefer family,” Wade declared. The Tribe chief is resigned to expect anything now and won't be surprised if a whistling Texas norther strikes Ft. Worth when his squad invades there next week. a a a a a a LEFTY CDOUL, Brooklyn slugger, started something when he boasted to Joe Williams down in Florida, that the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 had it all over the Los Angeles shake of 1933. Lefty was 9 years old at the time of the “San Fran” rumble. It now is disclosed that Gabby Street, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, was a catcher with the San Francisco club in 1906 and made a quick exit out of the fallen city, leaving on the first train, never to return to the Golden Gate. At least that’s what they say on the coast. ana ana Years ago Connie Mack took his Athletes to Eagle Pass, Tex., for spring training, overlooking the fact that just across the Rio Grande was Mexico and temptation for his ball players. And Connie learned about the bridge game from them, but not the kind of bridge played with paste boards. Some of the Philadelphia pastimers developed into expert international bridge jumpers. n a a nan Baltimore has had three fistic champions, Joe Gans, Joe Dundee and Kid Williams. Joe Dundee's brother Vince apparently won another crown for the Oriole collection recently, but was jobbed out of it by a New York decision that saved the Empire state middleweight crown for Ben Jeby, Madison Square Garden favorite.

Ross Gets Big Chance Chicago Star Seeks Title Scrap in Tussle With Petrolle. By Unitrd Press CHICAGO, March 22.—Barney Ross, clean-cut young Chicago lightweight, encounters one of those time-honored “pitfalls along the rocky road to success” tonight when he goes into the trenches for ten rounds or less against Billy Petrolle, the formidable old Fargo Express. They top the Chicago stadium's first card since Jan. 19. Ross, to put it mildly, is meeting his supreme test. If he can defeat Petrolle, then Barney will have proved his right to a lightweight championship wrangle with Tony Canzoneri. But if Petrolle uncorks a flood of those trip-hammer punches that have ruined so many young men's championship hopes, and pounds out a victory over Ross, then it will mean that Ross simply is not ready for a top-flight encounter, despite his prim and rosy record. The odds have moved with bewildering rapidity from 9 to 5 on Petrolle to even money. Much depends on the question of Billy’s weight. He is under signature to hit 138 pounds or less at the offices of the boxing commission this afternoon. CONBETT WILL FILED By United Press JAMAICA, N. Y„ March 22.—The will of James J. Corbett, former heavyweight boxing champion, left his entire estate, valued unofficially at more than SIOO,OOO, to his widow, Mrs. Jessie Taylor Corbett of Bayside, it was revealed Tuesday.
