By Eddie Ash Geneva Kid Is New Jockey Sensation mam Earl Porter Reigns as Florida Turf Idol

J£ARL PORTER, the Geneva Kid, is the newest sensation in* the ranks of the jockeys. He is riding ’em home down j in front at Tropical park track, in Florida, and is the idol of j the race followers among the winter tourists. The Illinois boy is enjoying one grand time pulling up with winners. It was on Blackmock, on March 31, 1933, that Porter turned in j the first win of his career, which, incidentally, occurred in a j sprint at Tropical park. The small coin bettors and the plungers have jumped aboard the Porter bandwagon and he is not disappointing his supporters. The Kid has an attractive personality and is the whole show in the Sunshine state around the horse ha\ens. Earl is 16 and will not lose his apprentice weight allowance until the close of the Florida racing season on March 31. Jackie Westrope, leading jockey of 1933, will lose his bug the latter part of this month. Porter has been making the fast horses go faster and has been putting speed in slow bangtails. Recently Porter won with Forty Days, which finished eighth in a previous event when piloted by another rider. aaa a a a TT happeas in golf sometimes. We mean a kid viU come along and I knock off an older and more experienced opponent. James Jacoteon oi New Rochelle, N. Y.. has been playing ping pong seven years ani is national champion. Last week, in New York. Jacobson bumped up againu 16-year-old Melvin Rose, Brooklyn high schooler, who doesnt take ping too lonouily. It V m the quar.or-flnalß of the Metropolitan championship. Young Rose flashed a grin at the stern champion, who is seeded No. 1 in all tourneys. Jacobson was dressed as becomes a champ brown shirt, brown trousers, brown shoes. The high schooler refused to become awed and smiled aii through the match and Jacobson lost his poise. Roses ‘T don't care attitude” got under the stein of tne champ and Mel won on temperament. Rose’s favorite game is tennis and the Metropolitan was his first ping pong tourney. He has played the sport off and on for a year, however, and picked up the fine points in short order, smashing forearm shot, brilliant backhand return and a puzzling spin serve. aaa a a a Joe Boland, new football line coach at Notre Dame, used to play on the Irish varsity. He received a broken leg playing against Minnesota at Minneapolis and was impounded in a Minneapolis hospital. It was theie, as a patient, he met his wife. No, he did not fall in love with his nurse. A sob-sister reporter called to interview’ him and she is Mrs. Joe Boland. a a a a a a HOOSIER ping pong players, having completed their state open tourney, have been invited to compete in the Ohio State open championship at Cleveland, Jan. 19, night; Jan. 20, afternoon, and Jan. 21, afternoon. Entries are expected from several states. Cleveland paddle boosters plan to make it a brilliant affair. There will be mens singles, women's singles, men’s doubles and mixed doubles. The tourney will be staged in the Carter hotel. H. S. Wahle, 9715 Euclid avenue, Cleveland, is secretary. Entries must be filed not later than Jan. 13. The event is being sponsored by r the Cleveland Ping Pong Association. a a a a a a FOUR under par for the first three holes—and not a single putt! That’s the record of Walter Marsh, manager of a public links golf shop in Los Angeles. Walter’s feat started on the first hole of his round. No. 1, a par 4 of 415 yards, saw him hole out a mashie shot and an eagle two from a distance of 165 y r ards. On the second hole, a par 5 measuring 535 yards, he holed out a mashie-niblick of 30 yards for a birdie. Another mashie-niblick shot, this one of 60 yards, w’as holed out on No. 3 hole for another birdie.

♦ Off the Backboard ♦

YOUR pinch-hitter is chinning with your convalescing correspondent, and after a little bit of this and some more of that, we get around to basketball. Without a dissenting vote, it is decided that the 1934 model of Indiana high school is more scream-lined than ever. “Every time I think about picking a champion, I get the double jitters,” opines Carlos, who, like your pinch-hitter, is not addicted to jitters of the ordinary variety. “But after I see about three more teams, the field will be narrowed down to the point where I can go to work ana pull the rabbit out of the hat.”

It develops that Carlos has scouted Technical, Shortridge. Jeffersonville, Logansport and Jefferson of Lafayette and others, and the five named are on his list. The three he has on his “must” shopping list before going into his “picking trance” are Hartford City, Anderson and Brazil. This list may be augmented when Carlos returns to his daily chores. In fact, when he gets his ear to the ground again and hears all these rumblings about Martinsville I'm quite certain he’ll want to get a squint at Glenn Curtis’ proteges. And he also may want to add Alexandria and Delphi to that list. They are a couple of teams becoming extremely difficult to get along with these days. ana IT appears that Carlos is much sold on Hartford City at the present, and justly so. J. E. Good has a veteran team that has been playing together for many seasons. Three of them were teammates in junior high school. The Airedales still are unbeaten. This recalls that Hartford City’s last healthy bid for Mr. Ihsaa's laurels was in 1920, the year in which the upstate boys bumped off Homer Stonebraker's brilliant Lafayette crew, which included Clem Crowe, Butch Neuman and others. Lafayette may have an opportunity for revenge this year. Abie Masters’ cagers appear to be the best team in the state today. That may be changed Friday night, after Tim Campbell s Tech boys invade the college town. But if the locals fail to halt the fast-stepping, sharpshooting Broncos, then you can write it down that on Jan. 13. the best Indiana high school basketball team was Jeff of Lafayette. t> a a FRIEND CARLOS also is justified in putting Brazil on his shopping list. In case you've overlooked Babe Wheelers outfit, they've won nine in a row since toppling to Washington. 16 to 14. early in December. Morton of Richmond is the latest victim. Alexandria has picked up steam in the past week, bumping off Tipton. Elwood and Jonesboro in convincing fashion. More will be known about this club after Thursday's battle with the Bearcats at Muncie. Paul Lostutter's Delphi Oracles have served notice that Logansport isn't going to waltz into the state tournament. That 21 to 12 triumph at Connersville last Saturday was no false alarm. OSS FROM Vincennes comes the word that John Adams, veteran mentor, has tagged the 1934 Martinsville team potentially stronger than the 1933 state championship club. That may be John’s way of smoothing out that setback handed his Alices by the Artesians, or it may be the truth. More interesting is the observation of Vincennes scribblers that tha Artesians still are playing under wraps. No slam-bang, ding-dong basketball for Glenn Curtis.

forced for a close attempt, and handling the ball like veterans. In that Vincennes game, the Artesians fired tw’entj’-seven times and connected on fourteen. Thus has it always been with Curtis—and that average will improve when Glenn turns on the power. Shortridge faces a real test here Saturday night against the Curtismen. a a a 'T'HERE'S a rumor that the regional tournament which has been passed between Martinsville and Bloomington will be handed over to Terre Haute this year, and again will include Brazil . . .

Greyhounds Down Central Normal in Thrilling Overtime

BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Sports Writer T\ ANVILLE. Ind., Jan. 9.—Was it LJ a ball game, or was it a ball game? The Indiana Central-Cen-tral Normal net battle here last night was everything expected. These two previously undefeated fives fought into an overtime session before the local quintet. Central Normal succumbed 28-22. The count was tied at 22-all at the end o' regulation play. The anticipated struggle between big Dave De Jernet and Edward (Jingiesi Englehart. pivots on the two teams who were mates on the state high school championship five at Washington in 1930. was likewise a real show with Englehart stealing all the show in the first half with four field goals and Big Dave taking the leading role in the last half drive that gave his team a tie and a win in the overtime. Englehart was high point man with thirteen points. ,

In the last year Boston, Detroit, St. Louis, Cleveland and Chicago, American League clubs, have had a chance to claim the Babe as a leader. But for some reason which mystifies Ruth and the fans, the greatest slugger in the history of baseball remains a private. Perhaps it was just a case of all the others thinking the home run king was “in” as manager of Tom Yawkey’s rebuilt Boston Red Sox and when Eddie Collins picked Harris, it was too late.

College Court Schedule for Hoosierdom Sparkles With Keen Rivalry Struggles

TONIGHT Marquette at Notre Dame. Eastern Illinois Teachers at Indiana State. Terre Haute. WEDNESDAY NIGHT Washington of St. Louis at Butler, Indianapolis. Evansville college at Western Kentucky State. • THURSDAY NIGHT Taylor College at Kokomo college. FRIDAY NIGHT Franklin at De Pauw. Greencastle. Baii State at Indiana State. Terre Haute. Indiana Central at Manchester, North Manchester. Wheaton college at Tavlor. Upland. SATURDAY NIGHT Purdue at Indiana. Bloomington. Butler at Notre Dame. Earlham at Wabash. Cratvfordsville. Ball State at Evansville. Oakland City at Hanover. Over the jinx, No. 19, Notre Dame’s basketeers are hopeful of victories tonight and Saturday that will tie them with the previous Notre Dame consecutive win record of twenty-two and place them in a position to set up anew mark. Fourteen games remain on the state collegiate card ror the week with two outstanding features. Purdue and Indiana resume their rivalry clashes at Bloomington after a year of idleness brought about by the Big Ten round robin schedule system. Butler travels to South Bend and will offer a real test of the Irish hopes to tie the old consecutive win mark. Indiana State netters were all set to take the Eastern Illinois Teachers tonight at Terre Haute and prove that they were just in a basket shooting slump at Butler Saturday. Evansville college, refreshed by their upset win over Wabash. will %travel into Kentucky Wednesday night intent on showing the Mountaineers at Western Kentucky State that Hoosier basketball is best. In Indianapolis Butler will open its ten-game Missouri Valley conference schedule with Washington of St. Louis, a team that battled the 1933 champion Bulldog five in an overtime game before giving up by one point. The teams will battle in the fieldhouse Wednesday night at 8:30. The Franklin-De Pauw struggle should be a thriller at Greencastle Friday night with the Ball State invasion of Terre Haute to battle Indiana State ' renewing the natural rivalry between the Normal schools adding color to the battle. Indiana Central travels up to Manchester fully expecting to win handily.

TNDIANA Central was never ahead in this ball game until the overtime period. They trailed 14-10 at half time and managed to pull up into a tie just before the final gun barked. But in the five minutes of added time the Greyhounds had all the better of it. Jingles Engiehart pushed in a short one-hander to send the locals cut in front. Blanda tossed a free throw and a field bucket and Englehart came back with his second bucket of the first four minutes to make the Central lads look at each other with dismay. Wilson sent in another shot before Central broke into the scoring after eight minutes had expired. Engiehart produced two rapid-fire field goals, one a long one and the other a one-hander. The game then became Central for a while, with Schaefer and Byers each tossing in a free throw and a field goal apiece, and Comingore a free throw.

INDIANAPOLIS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1934

As mentioned before the battle between Indiana and Purdue will eliminate one of the two from the leadership of the Big Ten race and Butler is always a dangerous foe when playing Notre Dame. Twice in history Notre Dame teams lost after winning nineteen consecutive games, but they shook that jinx with a triple overtime victory over Michigan State Saturday for No. 20 and if they can make Marquette No. 21 victim tonight, Butler can be made No. 22, and that will tie an old record of twenty-two

Hackleman and Captain McMurtrie seem to have the forward po- | eitiens cinched and Allen Carroll at center and Lemaux and Alex Carroll at guards, but they need game action to keep at their peak.

DE JERNET missed a short shot j that would have made it close, but Sadler connected with a charity \ toss and the half ended, Normal 14,, Central 10. Englehart scored four field bas- ’ kets and Schaefer three in the first i half, while De Jernet was held scoreless. In the first ten minutes of the j second half. Normal again threatened to put the game on ice with Englehart looping in a short one and breaking away from a jam under the Central hcop and dribbling the full length of the floor ahead of every one for a basket. He added a free throw and Wilson another, - while Blanda pushed the Normal count to 22. Spurgeon came through with a j couple and De Jernet made his first points of the game on a pivot shot to make the count 22-16.

Stonehouse Cops Title Coffin Pro Fires 71 to Win Playoff From Vet at Miami. Bn United Prei >* MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 9. —Ralph Stonehouse. 29-year-old Indianapolis professional, today was SSOO richer by virtue of his victory yesterday over Willie Dow, veteran Miami pro, in the eighteen-hole playoff for first money in the Miami open golf tournament.

BY LEFTY LEE Some few weeks ago A1 Striebeck, popular local bowler, broke loose with a big 700 total that made his brother Ed jealous, so Ed fired a 790 series, with games of 288 and 300 at the finish. Since that time Paul Striebeck. the third bowler in this family, has been telling all who would listen that they could not do that to him without a comeback on his part. Paul's night finally arrived, during the Evangelical play at the Pritchett drives last night, and while he did not reach a 700 count, his final game of 279, that saw the five pin standing on his first try in the tenth frame, after nine strikes in a row, was certainly a threat to his older brothers, for his other games were 204 and 209, a total of 692 that led the league.

That boy Bruder is really on his oldtime game at the present, his 603 rolled during the Automotive League plav at the Central alleys leading the loop The management of the Central alleys is selling the league on the idea of making up complete squads with teams of their own loop jj j opining city tournament. As an added inducement, the teams of the Automotive loop will be rolling for a special prize award of two team entries during their next series. The next rule permitting teams to roll with their regular members should make this arrangement popular and the team entry, at least, should pass all former marks.
