By Eddie Ash Knickerbocker Cheers Cleveland Pilot o m m Amateur Boxers on Parade Saturday m m m Butler Games Attract Top Athletes
years of experimenting 1 at the shortstop post, the Cleveland club thinks it finally has come up with a real article in Bill Knickerbocker, former Toledo star and holder >f the American Association two-base hit record, established last season. “Knick” is the sensation of the training camp at New Orleans and seems to have copped the position from Johnny Burnett. Manager Roger Peckinpaugh is sending back to Cleveland glowing descriptions of the all-round skill of the rookie from the A. A. and bar stated he thinks the player is one of the best infield prospects to enter the American League in years. Peck was a famous shortstop for many seasons and knows exactly what it takes to fill the assignment. Toledo has been puliing strings in an effort to regain the pastimer, but as the days go by the Hen chances decrease. Bill is fighting with all his might to stay in the majors and escape the reduced minor league pay. He has improved in hitting recently and this item has encouraged him to the point where he looks like the regular and Burnett looks like the candidate. Knickerbocker clubbed the horsehide for .336 in 1932 at Toledo and played in 160 games. He collected 234 hits, including 69 doubles, 8 triples, and 5 home rune. He was sixth in fielding among the regular shortstops. His team completed 161 double plays and he participated in 108. Big league clubs may be more successful in checking Bill as a foul line hitter. The left, field line is his favorite spot for doubles, where he poked the ball over third many times last year. A. A clubs were aware of this angle to Knickerbocker's batting and arranged their defense to halt him, but he was still swatting doubles when the campaign closed. a a a ana COUNTY MITT MEET PROMISES ACTION AMATEUR mitt slingers will go on parade again Saturday night in the Marion county meet at South Side Turner hall, 305 Prospect street, and the boys request the support of the fistic followers. Boxing fans will recall the many fine bouts staged in the Times-Legion Golden Gloves event here and it is believed similar action will be supplied Saturday. All sections of the city are represented in the entry list and a number of rivalry matches are sure to crop out when the A. A. U. drawings are made. The “simon pures" in most cases, are eager, hardworking lads who take the scraps seriously and put in many training licks to be in perfect condition. The bouts will be limited to three rounds and a winner will be declared after each encounter. The first match will get under way at 7:30 and choice seats are available. It is an elimination tourney and one defeat nuts a boxer on the sidelines. For that reason, the average amateur clash develops into a battle. It is said at least twenty-five bouts will be staged Saturday. ana nan TRACK CLASSIC DESERVES (TTY’S SUPPORT TJUTLER UNIVERSITY authorities are to be commended for facing Ml the depression with courage by staging an indoor collegiate track classic that promises to become anew annual feature on the national sports calendar. The big event wall be held at the Butler fieldhouse Saturday afternoon and night, and many of the best athletes in the country will participate. Years ago track and field sports drew' large crowds to Indianapolis ior high school and college meets, and Butler aims to revive interest in sprinting, running, jumping and other field events. Athletes of the track are the best-conditioned of all collegians, and the spectators are sure to see some wonderful performances Saturday. Graduates, students, friends and followers of Butler hope the inaugural Butler Relays will be a complete success and will become established all over America as an indoor fixture to be looked forward to each year. The event deserves the whole-hearted support of Indianapolis. Many universities and colleges will send the very cream of their athletes here to strive for laurels. All arrangements have been set, officials named and close observers of track games predict records will fall. nan nan BROWN BUILDS UP IMPRESSIVE RECORD followers are beginning to realize Indianapolis has a mighty I pood junior welter in Willard Brown, who is slated to meet Prince Saunders at the Armory next Tuesday night. The studious-looking, bespectacled youngster, who came to this city from Cincinnati several years ago, after winning many amateur honors, got away to a bad start locally, and became known as a “bicycle rider,” his handlers constantly advising him to "keep moving.” Asa result of these tactics Brown stayed in the prelim ranks for a long time, and. despite his acknowledged boxing skill, he was more or less a pain in the neck to the customers. Then anew manager took him over, and promptly began the task of changing the will-o-the-wisp style Willard acquired. It was a long and tedious job, but the boy finally has mastered the idea of standing in one place and fighting. It may be a surprise to many fans to know that, in the last year, Willard has defeated, among others, Denver Mickey Cohen, Santiago Zorilla, Harry Dublinsky, Danny Delmont, Lew Terry, Nick Ellinwood, Charlie Baxter, Pete Petrosky and Tommy Bland, the last named the Canadian lightweight champion. a a a a a a Manager Charlie Grimm of the Chicago Cubs now knows there is more truth than poetry in the age-old jealousy between Los Angeles and San Francisco. He saw in the Los Angeles papers that Frisco was having bad weather and was on the point of canceling some exhibition games there when Frisco called up and put him in the grease. He changed his mind, followed out his schedule, went to the Golden Gate and found the weather was ideal. tt St 8 8 8 8 Ray Starr, pitcher with the New York Giants, has a grievance against New 5 ork newspapermen. They constantly refer to his home town in Oklahoma as "No Water.” The actual name is Nowata, and of course, the scribes must have their fun. a a a a ''a a Jack Curley doesn't know the reason why and will make no attempt at guessing, but his books disclose the fact rain increases attendance at wrestling shows in New York. He is the chief mat promoter there and ought to know. '8 8 8 8 8 8 They ve named a wrestler after Jack Hendricks, former Indianapolis and Cincinnati baseball prominent, and the grappler hails from Chicago, old Jack's home town. We can hear the veteran saving: “That's terrible at my age—and why pick on me?”

Barney (Mike) Kelly
INDIANAPOLIS flashed into the sports headlines again today when Bernard (Mike) Kelly, product of local sandlot and printer nines, was appointed manager of the Jersey City club of the International League. He resides at 1114 South East street. Kelly was coach last year under Manager A1 Mamaux of the champion Newark Bears of the eastern Class A A circuit, ahd previous to that acted as coach under Ownie Bush when the Indianapolis east sider piloted the Chicago White Sox in 1930 and ’3l. In 1932 Bush took over the reins of the Minneapolis Millers and led the team to the American Association pennant and Kelly shifted to Newark. In the “little world series” last fall Newark defeated the Millers. Tliis year Bush is boss of the Cincy Reds and Kelly also changes pasture, becoming Skeeter pilot. Kelly established a record for long service in Class B ball when he managed the Spartansburg club of the old South Atlantic League nine consecutive seasons. He also played with the Toledo A. A. team when the famous Roger Bresnahan was chief of the Hens. Barney was a first baseman and catcher. Two brothers, Bob and Joe, are prominent semi-pro players, and another brother, John, is a well-known umpire.
Maxie is favored because the fifteen-round route is believed to be to his advantage, because of his showing in three previous ten-round bouts with the southerner, and because of his excellent performance two weeks ago in beating Adolph Heuser of Germany, European lightheavyweight champion. Last year, Rosenbloom met the 22-year-old Daytona Beach mauler three times, earning two draws and beating him once. Godwin, a busy mixer, fought 145 bouts, losing only ten. as he climbed toward the N. B. A. title, which he wrested from Joe Knight of Georgia at West Paln> Beach, March 1.

Hartz bettered the five-mile mark with a speed of 147.44 miles an hour, as well as the flying kilometer, the flying five, ten and fifty kilometers, and the standing five and fifty-five kilometer distances. The new speed creation was designed from suggestions of Professor Elliott Reid of Stanford university.
