B y Eddie Ash Feeney Acts to Encourage Prelim Boys m m • Indiaa-Ohio League to Open Sunday

A L FEENEY, state boxing commissioner, has in mind* a boost in pay for the preliminary boys, the lads who frequently “save” the show for the promoters when the main-go principals do a wash out. The Iloosier /istic chief has not determined by what positive means he can arrange to help the willing mixers, but he’s going to try, at any rate. Feeney will start out by asking the promoters to observe a minimum scale, for he has learned that in many instances the prelim scrappers have received practically nothing. In other words, they usually are last to be paid, and are handed the “leavings,” if any.

non It’s l’p to Promoters ASKING the crowd pleasers to . accept one or two dollars is away out of line for the amount of entertainment they supply, Feeney declares, and he is going to the front for them. Here is the minimum scale Feeney will suggest in his first move to give the prelim lads anew deal: Four rounds, not less than $5. Six rounds, not less than $lO. Eight rounds, not less than $25. If talent is to be developed in the state the prelim glove throwers must be encouraged. Feeney’s plan looks like a splendid move to build up the sport and it will be wise for the promoters to co-operate. Matchmakers probably will point out that fight shows don’t always draw enough customers to enable them to be liberal with the prelims. If that's an alibi, they are not entitled to serve as promoters.

Vines to Open Net Cup Play By United Press NEW YORK, May 10.—Ellsworth Vines, American and Wimbledon champion, will make his 1933 Davis cup debut late this month against the winner of the Canada-Cuba series which starts Thursday at Hot Springs, Va. Wilmer Allison, George M. Lott and John Van Ryn are the other members of the team. Clifford S. Sutter, who played against Mexico, will be on the sidelines.

Pin Gossip BY LEFTY LEE

Congratulations, Doc! The ambition of every bowler was realized by “Doc” Longsworth when he posted a perfect 300 game while rolling his singles event of

the state tournament at the Pritchett alleys last week. To add to the value of his flawless game, was the fact that this was the only perfect score ever rolled in this tournament during its twentyfour years of c o mpetition. Longsworth started bowling during the season of 1916 on the old Capitol alleys and as is

JS

always the case, has been a booster for the ten pin game since that time. It may be tied, but it always will be the first in Hoosier state meet action. During the past season Longsworth performed in the Universal and Pritchett Recreation leagues, rolling a combined average of 190. The final scries of the St. Philip No. 1 League resulted in a triple win for Mic-Lis-McCahill and Coca Cola over Cain Lunch and Geisen Product, and an odd game win for Trule and Casadv Purl from Prima and Richart Drugs. Mic-Lis-Mc-Cahlll copped the pennant leading bv a safe margin. Casady Fuel took runnerup position, as the Trule team showed. Dan Abbott won the individual championship with a season's mark of better than 199. Richart Drugs finished in eighth place, but managed to cop the high single game prize with a score of 1.108. This league will hold its annual outing at Johnson's Camp Saturday June 3. Alice Shea the Indianapolis baseball squad star rolled a series of 620 with Eames of 192, 230 and 198: to lead the adies’ Social League play on the Hotel Antler alleys. Thomas helped with a 539 score, and these girls won all three from Jack C. Carr Company. Burnett also rolled a dandy set for Heidenreich Floral, scoring 191, 211 and 211. for a total of 613, that helped her team to an odd game win over Happy Wonder Bakers. Hurlbut rolled 535 and Baxton. 517, as Kehl scored 554 for the losers. Geisen Product had Pvle, Kritsch and Dawson, scoring 579. 519 and 511, and thev won all three from Harlan Insurance. Bowes Seal Fast won two from Geiger Candy in a well-plaved match. McDaniel Harlan, Johns and Bunch scoring 568. 515, 527 and 540 for Bowes as Buring. Armstrong and Mayer scored 571, 514 and 524 for the losers. The Citizens Gas tsouth sidel League finished their season's play on the Fountain Square alleys, the Ledgers taking the pennant from the Cranes in a close race. The individual average race was also close, Boston nosing out Cline, 184 to 183. Cline copped the single and three game totals with a 278 and 683. Early next week this loop will roll their season-end sweep stakes. Officers for the season of 1933-34 will be elected at the meeting of the Washington League Friday night at 7:30 at the Illinois alleys. The Spring League, rolling on these drives, will roll their second series after this meeting.

Yankees Having Trouble , but Pirates Sail on Toward Flag

BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Teleeram Sports Editor NEW YORK, May 10. A list of the leading swatters reveals that the Detroit Tigers are not represented by a single man—or a married man either, for that matter. And they used to say all you needed to do to make a .400 hitter out of a guy was to put him in a Detroit uniform. But that was back in the days of Cobb, Crawford. Veach, Rossman and Heilmann. Maybe Henry Ford can do something about the desperate situation. . . . a m m With the race almost a month old, it is evident that the Yanks will have to do more than shadowbox their way to another American League championship. For the first time in years there is serious opposition in the west, what with the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago

ally finds the boys in the supporting bouts holding the bag, if the gate falls down. non Kautskys Await Bell THE Indiana-Ohio League, a semi-pro circuit, will open next Sunday and Indianapolis will be represented in the fast independent loop by the Kautsky A. C.s, a team made up of high class local talent, pastimers just a shade under pro league ability. Frank Kautsky, prominent city sportsman, is at the head of the Indianapolis entry and is determined to make a hard try to cop the title. Kautsky also operates an Indianapolis team in the National Basketball League during the winter. The Indiana-Ohio League is made up of eight clubs, as follows: Dayton Marcos, Dayton Schawyers, Middletown, Hamilton, Muncie, Ft. Wayne, Richmond and Indianapolis. 000 Hot Race Forecast THE Kautskys will open the season at Richmond Sunday and big preparations have been made there to celebrate the inaugural tilt. Johnnji Twigg, popular southpaw, is expected to draw the mound assignment for the Kautskys. A group of Indianapolis fans will journey to the Quaker city to support the capital city nine. Managers of the eight clubs report added strength all along the line this year and indications point to a red hot pennant race. 000 The Playboy Shortstop WHEN shortstop Jim Levey of the St. Louis Browns entered the majors he was fresh from the marines and the baseball freedom inoculated him with the high roller fever and he stepped out in the fashion of a young blood playboy. He proceeded to go for nocturnal entertainment in a big way. One night Manager Bill Killefer sat up to wait for the young man. About 3 a. m. Levey reached the hotel lobby, traveling in high gear. Killefer gave the rookie a long heart-to-heart, fatherly talk. “Why don’t you try to copy that young Lyn Storti??” Bill asked finally. “Now there’s a fellow who’ll last a long time in baseball. In bed every night, and on the alert every minute out there on the field—” There was a commotion. A young man was having trouble finding his way out of the revolving door. Finally he made it—in reverse. It was Lyn Storti. 000 Beah Down in Theah! Pepper martin is proving to be the salt of the earth for the St. Louis Cardinals, after all. The outfielder who burst into flame m the 1931 world series, then waned, has come roaring back. The other day, Manager Gabby Street, from his dugout fastness, croaked at the Pepper, “Bo w yo’ neck, big boy, beah down in theah!” And Pepper bowed his neck, bore down and wafted that horsehide right out of the orchard. The fans are pulling for the Pepper Pot to catch on fire this year. He tried too hard last season to Jive up to his 1931 title series reputation and ballyhoo. He is the real stuff at heart. 000 JOHN OGDEN, pitcher, who was traded by the Cincy Reds to the St. Louis Cards in the recent three-for-three player deal, said before leaving his Queen City mates: “Don’t know what kind of reputation I have as a fielder, but I am now starting a fast double play, Cincinnati to St. Louis to Columbus.” 0 0 0 That close finish in the Kentucky Derby has opened up anew field for Jimmy (Schnozzle) Durante, if he can reduce his weight and learn the jockey art. Nose finishes would be a cinch for him. 000 Interesting to Indianapolis followers of Owiue Bush is the news that the Cincy Reds and champion Chicago Cubs will battle in a dou-ble-header at Cincinnati Sunday. The Monday game will be advanced to supply the bargain. Butler Rally Drops Danville By Times Special DANVILLE, Ind., May 10.—A two-run rally in the seventh inning gave Butler a 2 to 1 victory over Central Normal here Tuesday. It was a pitchers’ battle, Sutphin of Butler giving up five hits and Davis of Danville three. Hits bv Miller and Cline featured the winning rally. Score: Butler 000 000 200—2 3 1 Central Normal 000 010 000—1 5 2 Sutphin and Lankford; Davis and A. Gross.

White Sox making militant gestures. It shouldn’t be necessary to remind you of the Washington Senators in the east. At the present penning Joe McCarthy’s pitching staff, reading from left to right, seems to consist wholly if not entirely, of El Goofy Gomez. . . . nan SO far the Pittsburgh Pirates have been the most consistent team in the majors. They got off in front and are still there. They figured to be good on paper and they look even better on grass. Rogers Hornsby says they are the team the rest of the league must beat. Everybody knows that. The question is how and with what? And if there is a better outfield in the National than the two Waners and Lindstrom, I’d like to see it. Even if it turned out to be only a magician's trick. Old Honus Wagner is traveling

Boston Sox Buy Stars Rick Ferrell, Lefty Brown Purchased From St. Louis. By Tim -* Special BOSTON, May 10.—Two of the weakest spots in the Boston Red Sox lineup were strengthened Tuesday when Tom Yawkey, new owner of the American League cellar dwellers, announced the purchase of Rick Ferrell and Lefty Brown from St. Louis. Ferrell, hard-hitting backstop, was the chief need of the Red Sox. Mervin Shea, brought up by Boston from Louisville this season, was sent to the Browns by the Sox, along with a big bundle of cash, in exchange for the new battery. Shea had been doing most of the Boston catching. While the deal will weaken the Browns greatly, Phil Ball, Brownie owner, will have the benefit of the cash involved. St. Louis has been suffering at the box office this season, and the money wall come in handy. The amount was not announced. Ferrell batted .315 for the Browns last year and fielded .986. He is ranked one of the best catchers in the big time. Lloyd (Lefty) Brown was obtained by St. Louis from Washington in the big winter player deal. He won fifteen out of twentyseven games for the Senators last year, but has been unable to hit his stride with the Browns. The addition of the veteran southpaw gives the Red Sox a strong mound staff with six hurlers of starting ability. JENKINS GUN WINNER Breaking 97 out of 100 targets, R. M. Jenkins captured top singles honors at Crooked Creek Gun Ciub Tuesday. R. C. Jenkins and Miller tied for second honors with 96 each. In the handicap division. Miller snagged top prize with 48 out of 50, Benefiel finishing second on 46. Stumph was the doubles winner with 48 out of 50, with R. C. Jenkins second on 45.

Indigestion Stops Dickey, Star Yank Catcher; Braves Blank Bucs

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 10.—Washington fans will forgive all, if Bill Dickey of the Yanks, the best backstop in the majors, remains sick long enough for the Senators to slip past New York and take a firm hold

on the American League lead. Dickey, who broke Carl Reynold s’ jaw at Griffith stadium last July 4, is almost as unpopular in the capital as Ben Chap man, but Senator fans doubtless would erect a statue in his honor if Bill decided to favor his irdigestion and remain on the sidelines for

a while—a problem now under consideration in Chicago. Pressed by Washington and Cleveland, and with the Chicago White Sox showing unexpected strength,

Bambino Agrees to Display Slab Form for Indian Fans

Babe Ruth will assume the pitching role once again after a lapse of years when the New York Yankees tangle with the Indians in an exhibition at Perry stadium Friday. According to the wishes of a group of prominent local fans who signed a petition requesting that he pitch, Ruth wired Norman A. Perry, owner of the Tribe, that he would start the game. “Will be glad to start game and pitch at least one inning before going to my regular position in the outfield,” his telegram read. “My thanks to Indianapolis fans for remembering I onced earned a living pitching.”

the Yanks apparently face a hard fight to retain the pennant, even with Dickey behind the plate. His absence might have an important bearing on the outcome of the race. Arndt Jorgens, Dickey’s substitute, is a fair workman, but not in Dickey’s class. This difference might enable the Senators, who won four of six western games, to outdistance the New Yorkers, who lost three out of five western starts. Washington took undisputed command of second place Tuesday, just half a game behind New York, when Bob Boken, substitute second baseman, duplicated Monday’s performance by driving in two runs in the final inning for a 7-to-5 victory over the St. Louis Browns. Cn Monday, Boken drove in two runs in the twelfth for the first triumph over St. Louis, and Tuesday his single in the nifith sent Joe Cronin and Fred Schulte scampering home for victory. St. Louis had taken the lead in the fifth with a fourrun outburst. The Senators pounded Wells, Knott and Hebert for sixteen safeties, including four by Luke Sewell in five attempts, while Linke,

Or possibly it was a farsighted action taken in anticipation of what effect the ultifnate passing of Babe Ruth will have on crowd reaction. Wonder if Walter Johnson still feels the way he did that night when he spoke at a World-Telegram high school baseball rally and said: “I want my boys to play professional baseball. It’s a fine game and a good business. It has treated me royally.” Johnson lost out as manager of the Washingtons last year. He hasn't been able to make any kind of a connection since—not even with the minors. Not exactly a glamorous end for the greatest speed ball pitcher of all time and one of the finest sportsmen any game ever produced.

Ruth, once was a star hurler for the Boston Red Sox. He helped complete one of the greatest pitching staffs ever in the majors. Composed of Joe Wood, Dutch Leonard, Ernie Shore, Hugh Bedient, George Foster and the Babe, the Sox hurling corps pitched the club into the world series in 1915, 1916 and again in 1918. Ruth worked in two diamond classics as a pitcher, winning three games and losing none. He also established an all-time record by hurling twenty-nine consecutive scoreless innings of world series baseball.

| Triplett in Fast l ime Coast Pilot Hits 116 Miles an Hour in Drill at ' Speedway. The weather man plays no favorites. Baseball has been taking it on the chin since the season opened, and now the old boy is threatening | the speed pilots who are busy at Indianapolis Motor Speedway preparing for the 500-mile grind on May 30. Threatening weather stopped most : of the drivers scheduled to tune up Tuesday, but it didn't bother Ernie Triplett, young Pacific Coast champion. * Owner Enthusiastic Triplett wheeled his new fourcylinder Miller out on the track for the first time Tuesday. After two slow trips around the oval he stepped it up to 112.78 miles an hour. He stopped for an inspection, and then shot out for four laps more, reaching 116 miles an hour on one trip around the two and one-half mile layout. Bill White, California owner, Triplett and his riding mechanic, Spider Matlock, all were loud in their praises of the new r buggy, which was unloaded here Monday. Railbirds got their first glimpse of the remade “gateway” leap, a treacherous bump on the southwest curve which was reported eliminated by contractors recently. The “leap” has been revamped, but it’s still there, according to Matlock. But instead of the three hops the cars took last year flashing over the spot, there’s just one big bump this year. “But what a bump!” Matlock says. Others Ready to Go Triplett expects to do some work on his car and then take it out for another spin soon. It’s one of the classiest lookers at the plant now, and there’s no question about its ability to get up and go. The coast pilot said he still had some to let out, but it was his first time behind the wheel of a flying car in several weeks and the track was damp in spots. With favorable weather, additional pilots were expected on the track today. Bill Cummings, local youngster, is one who is ready and anxious. There are many others, including the five Studebakers, also set to go when weather conditions are right. White Sox Get Webb of Tigers By United Press CHICAGO, May 10.—Earl Webb, outfielder, has been obtained on waivers by the Chicago White Sox from the Detroit Tigers. Webb will report to the Sox today.

Sorry for Him Mrs. Mason Is Inclined to Sympathize With Jockey. By Time* Special Baltimore, May 10. —it seems that Jockey Herb Fisher still has a friend in Mrs. Silas Mason, owner of Head Play, the horse that lost the Kentucky Derby by a nose to Broker’s Tip. Fisher has been criticized by an army of turf followers for using bad judgment in the classic, although it was his claim that Jockey Don Meade, on Broker’s Tip, started the rough riding in the stretch. While Mrs. Mason believes Head Play would have won had Fisher “stuck to his knitting,” she* expressed deep sympathy for him today. She said: “More than anything I felt horribly sorry for poor little Fisher. “You could see. by his sudden rage after the race that there was nothing premiditated about that fight of the jockeys. It's just horse racing, that's all.” Tribe Held Idle Again Tuesday By Times Special ST. PAUL.
