By Eddie Ash Old Nap Rucker Has Boost for ‘G. Wash.’ m m m New Indian Draws Praise of Vet Scout

N AP RUCKER, scout for the Brooklyn Dodgers and in his day one of the greatest pitchers in the majors, has come out with a boost for outfielder Vernon Washington (G. Mash), whom Indianapolis purchased from Ft. Worth of the Texas League. Nap describes G. Wash as the best natural hitter in the minors and explains that the slugger handicapped himself for a big league career by taking up the professional game a bit later in life than the average boy. Owing to the fact Rucker was one of the outstanding southpaw hurlers when he was at his peak in the big show, his praise of the Iloosiers’ new outfielder is worth something. Nap saw Mr. G. Wash play in several series in the Texas League last year, where he hit .325. Only ten regulars batted over the .300 mark in the Lone Star loop in 1933. It was a “pitchers’ league.” Vernon established a Texas record by reaching first base thirteen consecutive times and also tied the league mark for successive hits with eleven. a a a nun VETERAN baseball fans of Indianapolis are requested to don their thinking caps and name the ball player whose picture is inset in this paragraph. He was an outfielder with the Indianapolis ball club when

the ball park was located where the Methodist hospital stands. That's going back a long distance in years. The picture was taken in New York, in 1887, so it is evident Indianapolis was in the big league at the time. Look at the pose. Photographers were “slickers” in the 80's, and to get the ball in the picture the gentleman who took this shot doubtless tied the sphere on a string and hung it from the ceiling. This flychaser apparently desired to demonstrate how he took the ball when a quick throw was necessary after the catch. He is closing his hand on it in the fashion of an amateur entomologist nabbing a butterfly. A notation on the original photo says this well-built pastimer played center field. He looks as though he had a lot of speed in his underpinning, and perhaps he was the “rabbit” of the old Hoosiers. Come on, oldtimers, and name him. Forty-seven years ago! Address this column conductor at The Times. This player for years was credited with making a triple play, unassisted, several years before he joined Indianapolis. He made a sensational running catch back of the short field, but some hound for accuracy finally located an old paper that described that very game. It was disclosed that after the catch the outfielder dashed to third for the second out and then threw to second base for the third out. In the days when this athlete patrolled center field for Indianapolis Sixteenth street was Seventh street, Capitol avenue was Tennessee street and Senate avenue was Mississippi street. The ball park has moved several times since the eighties, and now it's on Sixteenth street again., at Harding street—

Perry stadium. The players of the eighties had to get along without many conveniences, but the old boys were built to bear up under hardships that would stun some of the modern diamond heroes. a b a nan PING PONG is going before the local footlights at the Lyric theater and will be part of the new show starting there today. Jimmy McClure, the new Indiana state paddle singles champ, and Bob Rowe, a member of the state doubles championship duo. have teamed to give the exhibition at the Lyric four times a day. They will play part of a game at each show and will give exhibitions of driving, difficult shots and returns and other tricks of the sport. McClure is 17 and Rowe is 21. The former unseated Dick Mills as state singles king in the recent meet held at L. S. Ayres auditorium. dianapolis fight manager and trainer, left on another junket today with sunny Florida as his destination. With him went Meyer Grace, welterweight: Eddie Shea, featherweight, and Tony Conceleo, heavyweight. Shea, of Chicago, the most prominent of the trio of pugilists, is booked for four bouts on the Florida east coast. Mitchell and his maulers returned from California in December and they will remain in Florida until April, after which they will go to the west coast again. Mike "went Hollywood," during a long stay in California, and was employed as ‘‘part of a crowd” in three pictures, ‘ Prize Fighter and the Lady,” "Joe Palooka" and "King For a Night.” He also supplied boxers for several pictures. Harold Anderson, formerly of Indianapolis took small parts in four. Mitchell said. Mike also stated that he supplied Art Lasky, heavyweight, to double for Max Baer in the furious battling scenes in “Prize Fighter and the Lady.” Primo Camera also used a double at certain times, Mike asserted. When the picture was on view here at the Palace theater, Mrs. Mitchell spotted Mike the instant the group he was in was flashed on the screen. ana a a a MEYER GRACE recently set up some sort of a record for frequency of ring engagements. He defeated Jackie Purvis, ten rounds, in Indianapolis, on Dec. 27; knocked out Pee Wee Jarrell, two rounds, in Chicago, on Jan. 1; lost a close decision, eight rounds, to Henry Rothier, in Chicago. Jan. 5, and defeated Johnny Phagan, eight rounds, in Chicago, Jan. 8. Four bouts in thirteen days, and three of the number in eight days. ana a a a Tickets are on sale and reservations are being received at Perry stadium for the 1934 opening day game, April 23. Toledo will be the visiting attraction. The phone number is Riley 4488. The'lndians will open on the road, at Toledo. April 17. play the Hens a series, then go to Columbus for a second round of battles before coming to the home lot.

ROSS BACK_JN RING B;i Vnitrd Press CHICAGO. Jan. 12.—Barney Ross, lightweight champion, today appeared to have recovered from a muscle injury which forced him to be idle for several weeks.

In a light drill here today Coach Everett Dean put the finishing touches on his Indiana university basketball team in preparation for its all-important clash with Purdue here tomorrow night. The game not only will hold the spotlight of all Hoosierdom’s hardwood following, but also will claim the bulk of attention in the Big Ten. The stage is set for a classic battle. Indiana and Purdue are tied only with lowa for the leadership of the Western Conference at this time. Each team has played nine games and won eight of them, Indiana losing to Wabash and Purdue falling before Notre Dame. The rivalry between the state rivals has smoldered through a year of inactivity since the round robin system of schedule drafting employed by the Big Ten did not pit the two teams against each other last year. The game will bring into the limelight the personal rivalry of Norman Cottom and Willard Kehrt, stellar Purdue and Indiana forwards, respectively, for the scoring lead of the Big Ten. Both teams have speedy attacks this year, and have demonstrated their ability to hold other teams to low scores.

Swim Coach Picks Star Out of Park Pool

fv

INDIANAPOLIS has anew swim sensation representing the Hoosier Athletic Club in the 440yard free style and the lad hails from Southport. He is Buster Dietz, a senior in Southport high school. Coach Sawin saw the youth competing in a meet at Garfield park pool last summer and recognized championship talent. At the close of the summer season Sawin invited Dietz to join the H. A. C. and early practice bore out the swim mentor’s judgment. Dietz won his event in the first indoor tank meet in which he entered, at St. Louis, and defeated a field of experienced opponents. On top of scoring a victory in the Mound City, Buster bettered the Missouri record. Recently at the H. A. C. pool, Dietz again defeated experienced swimmers in the “440.” The H. A. C. chief thinks Buster is a sure-fire

ment occupying the afternoon session. The finals in both sections will be played Saturday night. In the opening tilt today Decatur Central got off to a flying start, Gibson and Ward looping in field goals for a four-point lead and the boys from the southwest section of the county built up a 17 to 12 advantage at half-time. Gibson tallied four field markers during the game and three of his teammates. Ward, Palmer and McQuillen, looped in three apiece. Palmer tied for high scoring honors for the game with Sowers of Castleton. Each had nine points. Sowers Sinks Five Free McQuillen, besides firing in important court shots, played a great, defensive game. Sowers, who was tied for high point honors, did it with accurate foul line tossing, connecting five times on charity tosses. Decatur Central committed thirteen personal fouls. The Castleton lads rallied in the second half to pull up within two points of the winners, 21 to 19, but Decatur then pulled away.
