By Eddie Ash King Punches Way Out of Depression m m m Levinsky Becomes One of Best Cards

J£ING LEVINSKY, Chicago fish peddler heavyweight, actually punched hi? way out of the depression and has become one of the best gate attractions in the bruised ear sport. No expert gives him a tumble on boxing skill, but the King has demonstrated time and again that his awkward fashion of fighting tickles the ringsiders. He is what is known as “just a big bruiser,” minus science, but filled with aggressiveness and a willingness to trade blows with any opponent. Name ’em off and Levinsky will grab at the chance, win or lose. His policy is to take a few wallops, crowd his foe and then try for a haymaker. His punch is telegraphed, but when the King swarms in his adversary doesn’t always see the “sock” start. He resembles the heavyweights of the old school. Not long ago King fought Tommy Loughran and Tommy entered the ring a 4-to-l favorite. Levinsky mauled the veteran and finally put him down. The King went to the ropes, waved to the crowd and shouted: “Look at old four-to-one.on the floor.” a a a a a a IE VINSKY'S manner of turning a boxing match into a brawl keeps his name in the headlines. Fight writers believe that the King is next to Max Baer in drawing power at present. In six fights during 1931 and 1932. he helped bring more than $273,000 into the gate at Chicago. In a few of the bouts the King was paid small money compared with the price paid his opponents, but he’s moved up in prestige and is in a position to demand big money. Levinsky handed Jack Sharkey a neat trouncing and Jack received $25,000 and the King was handed only about a tenth of that sum. Watch the fish merchant collect from now on. If the Levinsky-Schmeling match scheduled to be held in Chicago next month goes through, a packed house will watch it. They will turn 'em away. a a a a an All of the topnotch heavyweights except Schmeiing will be found in Levinsky’s record. He has defeated Loughran, Paulino Uzcudun. Sharkey, Dan McCorkindale and other beefy members of the glove game and has dropped decisions to Max Baer twice, Primo Camera twice, Johnny Risko twice and Mickey Walker. The King thought he was entitled to the nod over Camera, and it's true the verdicts met with noisy disapproval on the part of the fans. a a a bob BALL STATE COLLEGE of Muncie has uncovered a young basketball player of promise in ‘ Big Mel” Wilson. This chap hails from Noblesville and never played basketball before entering Ball State. Coach Branch McCracken feels that the youth is destined to become a star. He put him in against Centenary of the south the other night and the big kid proved a tower of strength despite the fact Ball State was defeated. Wilson shared the tip-off with a taller opponent at center and inspired his mates to stage a rally in the closing minutes of the game. Occasionally, ip the past, lads of no high school basket experience have made good in college. They are not “burned out” by tournament pressure and are able to stand up under a lot of punishment. B B B B B B CRAIG RUBY, coach of the Illinois university cage team, has come out with a suggestion that the Western Conference adopt a schedule each year that would allow each Big Ten five to meet every other member. It would make an ideal arrangement to determine the championship and would avoid endless arguments. Naturally, it would compel each team to give up nonconference games and start against Big Ten rivals early in the season. That would be okeh with mast net fans, but it’s a dead cinch some of the coaches would hesitate to meet certain strong opponents at the start of the campaign. This column approves the Illinois plan. If Coach Ruby favors it, let all schools join him and put through the “perfect schedule” within the next few years. A schedule of that type surely would give the Big Ten games far more prestige than they receive under the so-called “round robin” program. However, some Big Ten schools have natural rivals outside the conference and it would be a hard thing to miss out on these profit-earning games. BBS B B B Cornell university has scheduled seven football games for next fall. Two dates are left open "to give members of the team an opportunity to catch up on their studies. That puts the gladiators in a pickle. They won’t have an alibi to give the professors if they stumble in the classroom. B B B B B B Gene Tunney is wintering on a ranch in Arizona, forty mlies from Tucson. The name of the nearest town is Oracle. That's right down Gene's alley. Maybe he’ll be mayor. B B B B B B lowa university accomplished a fine comeback in football and how many basket experts think the Hawkeyes possess the power and skill to capture the Big Ten net. title. The sports world owes lowa a bow. The Hawks have climbed back to the heights after scraping bottom, financially and in player material. B B B B B B DICK RAINES, one of the giant wrestlers booked on the Hercules A. C. bill at the Armory Tuesday night, calls Texas his home state. He is a whale of a man and reports he practiced the grappling art by tugging with tough Texas steers. In the event that Raines becomes excited Tuesday and cuts loose with a wild cowboy yell, stay in your seat. He's fresh off the plains and merely will be exercising his vocal chords. Matchmaker Carter likes to bring anew face to his arena frequently and Raines was picked for this next show to treat the customers to an exhibition of the style of rough tactics that please the mat crowds in the southwest.

Medium Boiled Baseball Is 33 Years Late in Making Appearance

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer YORK. Jan 6.—The heads j of the two big leagues met yesterday with manufacturers to adopt a uniform baseball, which in its behavior is to be not too sluggish on the one side, nor too frisky on the other. Just medium boiled.' Mr. William Harridge, president of the American League, ecstatically refers to the action as "the most forward step in the history of the national game.” In that it is not a return to the days when cricket bats and solid leather spheres were used, it is not I exactly a- backward step, there* fore, it must embrace certain vague qi .lities of progress. But it is the type cf progress that might be likened to the sudden de- | cision of a modern traveler to use a train instead of an ox cart to cross I the continent.

Two Games Head Card Purdue and Indiana Open Big Ten Race in Feature Tilts. Purdue and Indiana hold the Hoosier collegiate hardwood spotlight tonight, opening their Big Ten schedues. Purdue will entertain Minnesota, with Michigan playing at Indiana. With only one defeat on their records this season, Purdue and Indiana are expected to be strong contenders in this season's conference competition. They ended in a tie for fifth place last season. Other state college games tonight are Wabash at Evansville and Indiana State at Butler. All four teams have excellent records. Out-of-state games involving Hoosier colleges are Notre Dame at Michigan State, when the Irish will be seeking their twentieth consecu- ; tive victory; Valparaiso at Duquesne, Pittsburgh, and Hanover at Louisville. Hoosier quintets split even with invaders last night. De Pauw defeating Wilmington. 43 to 16, while Oakland City lost to Mississippi, 26 to 24. Take Big Lead De Pauw’s triumph was its second of the season over the Ohio five. Led by Lee and Youngblood, the Tigers ran up a 20-to-7 margin at half time, and scored eight points more before the Buckeyes tallied again. Hickman, Isley and Kinally also starred for the winners. Mississippi piled up a 10-to-41ead at the half to capture a rough game from the Oaks. Kell and Hollen led the losers’ attack. Ball State journeyed to Kalamazoo, Mich., to drop a 29-to-19 to Western State. It was State’s forty-fifth consecutive win on the home court. The first half was close, State leading 13 to 10. But Perigo led a lasthalf drive that increased the margin. Wilson was best for the Hoosiers. With Moser, French and Poison scoring a total of fifteen field goals, Franklin trounced Manchester, 43 to 26. At half time, Franklin led 26 to 13, and increased the margin to 38 to 18 midway in the final period. Earlham Is Winner Earlham continued its victory pact by bumping off Kalmazoo (Mich.) college, 26 to 7. Kalmazoo scored only two field goals. Earlham got a slow start, leading, 12 tp 4, at half time. Shamel, Hunt and McDorman led the attack. Anderson college invaded Huntington and captured a 25 to 20 decision, W. Byrd and C. Byrd contributing nineteen points for the winners. Hanover invaded Cincinnati to nose out the Bearcats, 34 to 33. A field goal by Raney just as the gun sounded gave the Hilltoppers the verdict after they had trailed throughout the game. Cincinnati led. 17 to 9, at half time. Raney’s five field goals featured. Valparaiso was beaten, 43 to 34, by Geneva college at Beaver Falls, Pa. The score was tied at 14-all at half time. Big Ten Cage Race Starts By United Press CHICAGO. Jan. 6.—The opening shot will be fired tonight in the Big Ten basketball race with the Wisconsin - Illinois and lowa - Northwestern games featuring the fivegame program. Two of the leading contenders, Wisconsin and Illinois, will be pitted against each other at Champaign, and the winner will be one of the favorites in the championship scramble. lowa's unbeaten team will receive its first serious test from Northwestern at lowa City. The night’s largest crowd, about 9.000, is expected to see the Hawkeyes battle the Wildcats. lowa won its four practice games in impressive fashion, but did not face tough opposition. In the other games tonight Minnesota plays Purdue at Lafayette, Ohio State meets Chicago at Chicago, and Michigan engages Indiana at Bloomington. SCHM ELING-LEVINSKY TILT SET FOR FEB. 16 By t nited Press CHICAGO. Jan. o. —Signing of articles for the ten-round heavyweight bout between Max Schmeiing. Germany, and King Levinsky, Chicago, at hte Chicago stadium. Feb. 16. is expected to take place here Monday. Joe Jacobs, Schmeling's manager, has advised stadium officials he will arrive Monday to complete negotiations. TIGER SWIMMERS WIN GREENCASTLE. Ind.. Jan. 6. De Pauw's swimming team secored a 57 to 27 victory over Wabash here last night.

j The American League and the National League, direct competitors in the amusement field for thirtythree years, finally have got around to adopting a uniform ball—something that should have been done the day their business rivalry began. bob THE importance of a uniform ball lies in the standardization of performance as expressed in thq,' pitching and the batting. It is otfvious that if one league uses a lively bail and the other a dead ball, there can be no accurate gauge of relative abilities. The refusal of the two leagues to agree on such a fundamental thing as a baseball all these years is illuminating evidence of their disregard for the public, their unwillingness to co-operate and their grim affection for antiquated l formulae.

Berghoff Bowlers Pile Up Marvelous Total of Pins

BY LEFTY LEE The Berghoff Beer team of the Washington League, that rolls on the Illinois alleys, easily took the top honors for all leagues in the city last night, when they crashed the maples for games of 1,052, 1,040 and 1,112, a total of 3.204. Every member of this team was over the 600 mark during this set, Ahearn rolling 673; Dad Hanna, 650; Hornbeck, 645; W. Heckman, 635, and Miller, 601. The team was rolling games at which its opponents will have to do plenty of shooting later, if they wish to turn in any wins. The Newman Candy team had Spencer rolling games of 218, 224 and 247, a total of 689, that led this squad to a triple win over Mausner Beer. With Earl Goodhue leading the way, the Schlitz team won two games from Kaser Tire Service. Goodhue’s total was 654. John Blue was back in the 600 class, with 629, and the Coca Cola team won two games from Pharis Tires. The final contest in this loop resulted in an odd game win for Fall City Lager from Hoosier Optical. John Beam found a fountain of youth some place and produced 607, his second 600 series this week. Bennett, a member of the winning team, had 606. Three new records for the season were posted during the Construction League play at the Pritchett alleys last night, the H. C. Ent Material rolling 1.087 and 2,941 for high single and high three-game totals, and Bill Hurrle pounding out a 677 for anew individual mark, for three games. Rogers counted 644, Lochle, 616, and Arnold, 609. In team play, Brandt Brothers and Johnson-Maas won three from Freyn Brothers and Railway Building and Loan, as the H. C. Ent squad won two from Mil-Va-Co-Heat. The Marott Shoe Store team of the Block Optical Ladies League had a single game score of 928 and a three-game total of 2.648 tha„ led them to a triple win over the S. and S. Service team. Other contests were decided two to one. Kingsbury Beer. Pox Jail Birds. Bowes Seal Fast. Beard's Brake Service and Mausner Beer, defeating Julian Goldman Store, McGav; Insurance. Jack C. Carr. Coca Cola and Real Silk. Race Johns scored a total of 563 that headed a long list of 500 counts. Meyer had 531. Bunch. 502; Weisc. 519; Weisman, 509 Mahoney. 521: Shea, 551; Tourney. 537; Finn. 527; Alexander, 512; Court. 500; Pyle, 505: Whetstone, 512; Harlan. 517: Maver. 501: McAnlv, 540; Carston. 504;' Schmidt. 501; Marks, 514, and Orphey, 512. The Bowes Seal Fast ladies team will roll a girls team from Ft. Wayne in a special match at the Pritchett allays tonight at 8:30. A sum of SSO will be presented to the winner of the 200 scratch sweepstakes that will be roiled on the St. Philip alleys today and Sunday. The entry fee of $2 covers all expense for this play. Ed Stevenson rolled a total of 651 to lead the play, during the Recreation series at the Fountain Square alleys. His count also was the reason the Seven Up team won three games from the Indianapolis Towel and Apron Supply. Sauters Tavern also won three from Beard's Brake Service when Ward and Sternm counted 602 and 601. The Goldsmith Sales and Dr. Pepper series was hard fought, the Sales team taking two. For the winners Holt and Hill rolled 611 and 607. as Hiatt and Schcch scored 624 and 610 for Dr. Pepper. Silver Edge Beer rolled games at which their opponents will roll later. Mathews posted 604 for this team. During the K. of C. series at the Delaware alleys the J. J. Blackwell & Son team won three games from Pittman-Rice

If it took the two leagues thirtythree years to agree to use the same kind of baseball, you can imagine how long it will take them to agree on something really vital —such as intelligent exploitation, encouraging youngsters and catering to bleacher trade. Perhaps Mr. Harridge is correct when he sajs this is "the most forward step in the history of the national game.” Only he could have gone further and said it was the only one. BUB \ HAWK-NOSED gentleman by the name of Mr. Jack P/efer is going around blowing the whistle on the wrestlers. Mr. Pfefer is by way of being a promoter. He discloses among other things that he was a party to a conspiracy—a successful conspiracy—to make Jim Londos champion of the wrestlers.

Indiana univerjiity netters hope for an opening victory when they launch their 1934 campaign in the Big Ten with a game against Michigan at B 1 o omington tonight at 7:30. Coach Dean’s Crim son speedsters have enjoyed a very successful ;p r e - conference schedule, but will find big Fred Allen, veteran Wolverine pivot man, very much in their path when they take to the hardwood tonight. Job of guarding the Michigan center will fall upon the shoulders of Vernon Huffman, sophomore. Huffman played on the state championship N e w - castle high school five two years ago at back guard. He has been shifted to center by Dean.

Coal, while Finneran Grocery, Hoosier Optical and Scott Trucking won two from Penn Coal. Qumn Grocery and Hoosier Optical. Bill Sargent returned to his former drives and led this league with a score of 607 on games of 167, 224 and 216. Kramer had one big game in his system, a 257, leading him to a sore of 622 that led the St. Joan or Arc play at the Uptown alleys. General Tire had Mausner on the fun. defeating this club three times. All other contests were decided two to one. Pittman-Rice Coal, Farrell Granite. Duffy Malt and Barrett Coal defeating Missouri Pacific, Davey Optomitrist, Kelly Builders and State Auto Insurance. The United Mutual Life Insurance games at the Illinois alleys resulted in a clean sweep for Ordinary Life and Preferred Annuity from Family Income and Modified Life and a two-game victory for Twenty Pay Life from Twent Year Endowment. Cardiff, with 203, 204 and 184. provided the sticks needed for the Overcoat team of the Raab Brothers League, that played on the Indiana alleys, to win three from the Coats. Trousers and Vests lost two to Suits and Topcoats during the other contests. The result was two to one during the Casualty League games at the Central alleys, National Bureau, Inspection Bureau and Underwriters defeating Hoosier Casualty. New Amsterdam and Aetna Casualty. Tony McCann closed with a 218 to lead tlie list, with a score of 581. At the Fountain Square alleys, the first week's play of the annual 1.000 scratch team event will be rolled with a flock of quintets scheduled to take the drives. This event always attracts a large entry and some suitable prize awards are given to the successful teams. The entry fee is $5 per team, bowling extra. Another freak shot was successful, during the Avalon League play when Haug cut down the 4-6-7 split. Veterans of the game always will advise the novice to try for two of these three pins, coneding ah open fram. but if the boys keep cutting them down, the whole syste mmay be changed. This is the second time during the week that the 4-6 was made. Frank Coval, secretary of the Avalon loop, quit worrying about the business end of bowling long enough to produce the league-leading total of 657. Darnaby had 623. Oathout. 614: Pietz. 609. and Charlie Cray, the "old sissy," 599, with the high game of 246. The Men's Optical League play, resulted m odd game wins for Optomitrists and Softlite Lenses over Block Optical and FoxOptical. Moore nosed out Schonaker, 583 to 584, for Individual honors. Carl Hardin is on the trail of Jack Hunt and his fourteen consecutive 600 totals. His 620 that again led the Post Office League last night was the ninth in a row for him. Bland was next to Hardin with 597. "Poor" Jess Pritchett was only knocking down 670. 680 or 690 some pins per series so he decided that he needed anew ball Well, the darn thing arrived Fridav and Jess tried it out as follows: 203. 258 and 267, total. 728. Yes. boys, the "King" is slipping. Sez you! Jack Hunt was back in the 600 circle while rolling with the Fall City team of the City League, having 627. Mack slipped over the line with two pins to spare. The Hoosier Coffee team, ppponnts of the Fall City, will roll later. The Barbasol Quintet is slipping, the team's latest set showing 2.825 without a 600 count being recorded; Elk Boosters only took advantage once, however, the Shaving Cream boys winning two games. Marott Shoes looked verygood. while winning three games from Hotel Antlers, their total being 3,002 with Rassmussen, Hurt ana Cobler counting 637, 621 and 615. For the losers Hare roiled 617. Jess Pritchett had 634 for Jones-Maley, but the Indiana Wheel and Rim team supported Boesnecker's 624 better and they won two games from the J-M quintet.

Mr. Pfefer brands Londos as “just an ordinary wrestler," and points cut that before he was conspired into the championship he was thrown fourteen times by Strangler Lewis. Londos reigned in the big money era and it is estimated he attracted gates totaling half a million dollars. Dissension has broken out among the wrestling overlords and Mr. Pfefer apparently finds himself alone in the high grass. Hence the whistle. I know of nothing so unimportant or uninteresting as a family quarrel among the sweaty acrobats of the mat. BBS BUT it stnkes me that Mr. Pfefer raises an issue which might | conceivably be of some concern to the district attorney’s office. If I understand him correctly he admits he was a party to a conspiracy!

Shortridge, Cathedral Lead Local Victories Blue Swamps Lebanon and Irish Trip Up Noblesville: Manual Downs Mooresville and Washington Noses Out Beech Grove in Exciting Fray. BY DICK MILLER Four games tonight will climax a busy week-end for the local high school netters who started off auspiciously last night with a quartet of victories by Shortridge, Manual. Cathedral and Washington, against outstate foes. Shortridge and Southport will provide the feature tilt tonight at the Cardinal suburban gym, while Tech will play host to the Greenfield team at the east side floor. Washington will play Bainbridge at the west side court, and Ben Davis and Broad Ripple will furnish the other attraction at Shortridge gym. Coach Kenny Peterman’s fast-going Shortridge Blue Devils exceeded the fondest expectations when they ran roughshod over Lebanon at Lebanon last night. 36-5. leading at half time, 19-2, and using substitutes freely in the last half. Berns with five field baskets, and Stevenson with four, were the Shortridge heavy scorers. Bad passing helped bring the Lebanon downfall.

Johnny O'Connor, who recently joined the Cathedral net team after an “ineligible period,” paced the Irish to another victory, this time over Noblesville, 36-23. He scored six times from the field and one free throw, while Rohyans and Carson each tallied four field baskets and Rahyons two free throws. The first half was close, Coach Maurice Kennedy’s Millers staying even, 4-4, in the first quarter and only trailing 19-14 at rest time. The second half saw Coach Joe Dienhart’s lad's pull out in front to make way for substitutes in the latter part of the fray. Wagener, Manual’s flashy center, fired in the fourth of the field goals he scored in the Mooresville game in the last five seconds of the fray and it gave the south siders a 29-27 edge.

Stonehouse Brothers Near Top in Miami Open Tourney

By United Press MIAMI. Fla., Jan. 6—-Charles McAllister. sharp-shooting professional from Forest Hills, N. Y., paced the field today with a blistering sub-par 66 for the first eighteen holes as the 161 starters teed off on the second round of the seventy-two-hole Miami open golf tournament. By carding a pair of 33’s yesterday, McAllister finished four under par to equal the Miami Springs Club course record. Johnny Revolta of Menominee, Mich., who set the record and won the tournament last year, was not on hand to defend his title.

♦ Off the Backboard ♦

ORCHIDS for Shortridge, mister! When the Blue Devils bounce back from defeat, they don’t do it half way. For instance, that 36-to-5 lacing they handed Lebanon in the Tigers’ home lair last night. It begins to appear mere certain each day that the basketball capital of Indiana is moving toward Indianapolis. There is no denying now that two of Mr. Ihsaa’s best quintets do their at-home romping on local hard■woeds. Indianapolis has been struggling along for years in the quest of a state championship. Both Tech and Shortridge have come close, but neither has been able to make the grade. With the big-time quintets more inconsistent than ever, this should be the year for one of them to step out and cut a piece of cake. Understand, that's not a pick. :

That doubtful privilege and absolute duty falls into the wothy hands of your correspondent, convalescing Carlos, and not within the power of this punch-drunk pinch-hitter. It’s only a hope—and a plea to Mr. Timothy Campbell of Tech and Mrs. Kennth Peterman of Shortridge. a a a Not a little dope spilling was practiced by the Hoosier shortpants boys last night to further confuse and befuddle the already confused and befuddled experts. Martinsville goes to Vincennes and steps on John Adams’ prides, 32 to 30, which can't be called an upset, but nevertheless a surprise in view of the way Glenn Curtis’ esampions have been shameyshameyed for tripping every now and then. Pete Ellis will have to open anew volume of alibis. And speaking of Pete reminds that the old Washington-Vincennes struggle for reginoal honors, both on the hardwood and in print, may be broken up by Jasper this year. The Jaspers, in case you don’t know, have won nine straight games and aren’t tipping their hats to any man’s team these days. SCRAP DELAYED AGAIN By United Press WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Jan. 6. —Maxie Rosenbioom, holder of the world's heavyweight title, and Bob Godwin, Adel.

which permitted Londos to collect half a million dollars from a gullible public parading as a bogus champion. Isn't that obtaining money under false pretenses, and doesn’t that come under the head of a felony? I’m just asking. Mr. Pfefer, since you brought it up yourself. I hear also that Mr. Leon See has sold the life story of Primo Camera to a syndicate in which the piquant details of the Italian's celebrated pushover boxing tour are catalogued.
