By Eddie Ash Big Money at Stake in A. A. Flag Series mm* Red Birds Hold 13 to 9 Season's Edge

'T'HEY are shooting for plenty of coin in that America* Association pennant playoff series opening in Columbus this afternoon. It's a scheduled seven-game affair, victory going to the team that wins four tilts. The winning club will receive $11,400 and the losing club, SIO,BOO. That s a mess of money and figures SBOO per man one way and S6OO the other, if no more than eighteen players are cut in by each team. However, it is believed several extra members of both teams will be given small sums as a reward foi parttime action. The victorious team will participate in the little world series against the International League champion and if the A. A. entry comes out on top the payoff will be boosted to SI,OOO per player. The boys will be able to step high, wide and handsome with their pockets bulging with spending money. an n a COLUMBUS has all the better of the dope on past performances. The Red Birds knocked off the Millers thirteen times in twenty-two clashes this season during regular play.

In any other season Columbus already would have been champion by finishing the regular season 15% games ahead of Minneapolis. However, anew league rule calls for a playoff series between the eastern and western division leaders. The series will be for four out of seven games. A crowd of 10,000 was expected to attend the opener at Red Bird stadium today. Jess Petty, Minneapolis southpaw, and Bill Lee, Columbus right-hander, were the choices for pitching duty.

Tough Little Barney Defends His New Ring Laurels

3 Shortridge Athletes Ask Court to Lift I. H. S. A. A. Ban

Power of the Indjana High School Athletic Association to set up and enforce arbitrary rules for prep athletes was challenged today in a suit on file in Marion county superior court. Plaintiffs in the case include Dr. Henry F. Nolting, father of Henry Nolting Jr., center on the Shortridge high school football team; Ott Birr, father of James Birr, right end on the team, and George B. Gannon, father of Millard Gannon, a utility player last year. The three football players were among several Shortridge, Tech, Southport, Manual, Washington and Cathedral high school athletes who were declared ineligible for high school athletics until Jan. 1, 1934, because they participated in independent basketball games after the close of the regular high school basketball season last spring. The I. H. S. A. A. rule alleged to have been violated says: “All students who participate in basketball after the state final tourney or after the season has closed in their high school, on teams other than their own high school teams within the school, lose their eligibility in all athletics until Jan. 1 of the next year and also jeopardize the standing of their school in the I. H. S. A. A.” The suit asks for immediate reinstatement of Birr, Gannon and Nolting. It demands that a temporary restraining order against Arthur L. Trester, commissioner of the I. H. S. A. A., and members of the board of control of the association, be granted immediately to prevent them from enforcing the disbarments. The complaint asks that upon final hearing of the case, a permanent injunction against the enforcement of the rule be granted against the I. H. S. A. A.

Ross Slight Choice to Turn Back Canzoneri Chicago Youngster Defends Lightweight Crown Against Little Italian From Whom He Won Laurels; 50,000 to See 15-Round Struggle. BY JACK CUDDY Unltfd Prf Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Sept. 12.—Another glowing chapter should be written into the history of lightweight boxing tonight when Tony Canzoneri, great little fighting man, tries to retake the world title from champion Barney Ross, young battler from Chicago’s ghetto. No lightweight champion ever won back the crown. From the days of Abe Hicken and Pete McGuire, none of the fifteen title holders could give the lie to that ancient ring axiom, “They never come back.” Although Ross is a slight favorite for tonight’s fifteen-rounder, the strong possibility that Canzoneri may turn the trick remained. Not since the second Benny Leonard-Lew Tendler bout in 1923 has there been such interest in a lightweight fight. Nearly 50.000 fans are expected at the Polo Grounds, paying about $150,000. Overnight odds favored Ross because of the influx of Chicago money. Jack Doyle, betting commissioner, quoted 4 to 5 against Ross, and 5 to 5

against Canzoneri. Most of the boxing writers who ventured an opinion picked Ross to retain the title because they felt that he, at 23, with only four years of professional fighting behind him. was “coming,” while the 25-year-old Italian, who has been battling for about nine years, is “going.” Ross won during the closing rounds of their first fight when Canzoneri grew weary. Consequently, Ross should be favored by tonight's longer fifteen-round route, although it is the first time he ever has gone that distance. Canzoneri’s large army of followers. which includes some of New York’s smartest boxing men, believe Tony will tag Ross with his first knockout. During his training, Tony was much more impressive than Ross. Because Tony has fought several fifteen-round bouts, they believe he w T ill be able to pace himself better than Ross. The weather man predicted a cloudy day. If it rains tonight, the bout will be held on Wednesday night. It will not be broadacst.. MARION GRID WINNER By Times Special MARION, Ind., Sept. 12.—Marion opened the high school football season Monday night with a 7 to 0 , triumph over Westfield here.
