By Eddie Ash Londos and Savoldi Gird for Mat War m a a Emmet McCann Lands Third Pilot Job

'THE eyes of the wrestling world will be glued on Chicago the night of Jan. 31 when Jim Londos, Greek Adonis, and Jumping Joe Savoldi, former Notre Dame football star, come to grips. Promoters finally succeeded in getting this pair together after months of dickering. Mat circles were stunned when Savoldi was awarded the decision and claimed the National Wrestling Association championship in a bout with Londos at Chicago last year, and charges and counter-charges of double crossing were heard around the world. At any rate. Savoldi ducked out for the east, and the referee accompanied him. Joe forgot all about other dates in the middle west and established headquarters along the Atlantic seaboard, where he eventually met defeat that erased his claims to the so-called title. The Jan. 31 clash is receiving much attention on the part of Chicago newspapers and the Illinois athletic commission is preparing to be on the watch for one of the most stirring matches of the modern era of the grunt and groan industry. a a a ana EMMETT M CANN. former Indianapolis first sacker and manager, seems to hav*> a way about him that keeps him falling out of one job into another. He succeeded Johnny Corriden here early in the 1931 season and piloted the Tribesmen the remainder of that campaign and all of 1932. He was released after 1932 and popped up as St. Paul chieftain in 1933. Emmet resigned the Apostle berth late last season and went home to Philadelphia. For a time it looked as though McCann was out of baseball, but despite the size of the army of unemployed in baseball, Emmet has landed another managerial assignment. He will be playingpilot at Lhtle Rock of the Southern Association, Class A. this year. Philadelphia reports sav Emmet is in hard training and eager to start anew on the diamond. He Is not too old to climb back into class AA baseball. He is a versatile pastimer. a a a a a a JIMMY CLABBY, the pugilist, at 43. died in a hovel at Hammond. Ind., the other day. He was penniless and had been in want the last few years. Clabby often visited Indianapolis in the heyday of his boxing and was as popular as they make ’em. Jimmy was a member of a party of globe trotters when the Hoosier state boasted of several topnotch fisticuffers. Ray Bronson, Indianapolis product, was a member of the world-circling group that included Clabby. Both engaged in big fights in Australia and gained widespread fame. However, Clabby fell in love with the Antipodes and made return trips. He "went” for the horses and was a familiar figure at Australian tracks for years. Persons who knew the marvelous boxer, ready mixer and hero of the ringsiders, say most of Jimmy's ring earnings went to the bookies. a a a ana WHEN Clabby hit the downward path his physique gave way and it was no longer possible to make a living in the squared arena. He fought at all distances during his prime and figured in many twentyrounders in Australia. The boxing records give his last ring appearance as July 31. 1923. knocked out by Morrie Schlaifer in two rounds at East Chicago. Ind. His last big year was 1920, when he won four fifteenrounders and a ten. In 1921 Jimmy lost a twenty-rounder to Billy Shade and was knocked out in fifteen rounds by Frank Burns. That year marked the beginning of his swift descent. Fair weather friends passed him by and even his home town of Hammond listed him as "whereabouts unknown" until death claimed the former idol. ass 000 {''ROM WILL R. WILLAN. The old boys are a little bit mixed up on the year when Paul Hines played with Indianapolis. Hines was with the club in 1888. It was my pleasure to witness a game between Boston and Indianapolis, won by Indianapolis. 1 to 0. Three incidents remain clear to me when I recall that game. <1) Kelly of the Boston team catching the ball at the center-field fence when his back was to the stands, and he had to climb up on a mound of earth to make the catch; (2) The size of the Boston catcher. Tate, like the giant Shanty Hogan of today; '3) Kelly trying to score from third after a fly caught by Seerv (or McGeachy), and was thrown out at the plate.

I was present to see the following happen: The right-field fence was short and the fence on Tennessee street (now Capitol avenue) was extended up about ten feet by a wire screen and space was rented to advertisers with the letters all being cut out of sheet metal. Schull and Krag (then) had one of the ads. The “G” in Krag became loose at the top and sagged. The bottom of the letter formed a pocket just about large enough to hold a ball. Jack Glasscock (Old Scrappy) was at bat. Kelly was in right field for Boston. Jack hit the ball and it landed in the pocket and stuck. Kelly (who was a clown anyway) danced under and around the spot, tore up tufts of sod and kicked up a cloud of dust trying to dislodge the ball. Nothing doing. Players of both teams laughed and kidded Kelly. Glasscock got his home run. Indianapolis. 2015 South High School road.

Panthers Snap N. D. Winning Streak With Frenzied Rally

Pitt won, 39-34. 1 f * Fate played a “return engagement" in the downfall of George Keogans South Bend five because it was on this same hardwood court a year ago that Notre Dame suffered its last previous defeat.

Peters and Krause leading the way. the Koosiers piled up a 23-16 margin at r. ft time and boosted it to 27-13 before Pitt swung its powerful attack into action that was to bring about the upset.

Murphy and Johnny Wooden scored thirteen points for the Kautskys in the first period, which ended 15 to 15. Wooden tied the score with a free throw at 26all just before the regulation game ended. Daniels and Parmenter each registered a field basket in the first extra period, and Williamson and Parmenter scored again in the second overtime* but AltenhofT's free throw won for the Michigan five.

Butler Now Leads Race Davis Scores 17 Points as Butler Bulldogs Drop Creighton. Butler university netters, champions of the Missouri Valley conference in 1933, took undisputed leadership of the 1934 race when they trounced Creighton’s fast quintet of Omaha, 48-30, in the local fieldhouse Saturday. Remarkable basket shooting by Bert Davis, Bulldog veteran, who scored seven field goals and three foul line shots for a 17-point total, and Roscoe Batts, Butler sophomore, who fired in five field baskets, featured the Butler attack. The invaders offered a great battle the first half and were out in front a couple of times. Creighton came from behind once, 12-5, to lead, 13-12, but expert foul line tossing by Butler enabled the locals to get out in front, 19-15, at half time. Creighton rallied in the last half, and for a time things did not look so good for the Bulldogs, but DavLs and Batts got their eyes on the basket again and rained in field goals from all angles. Butler once connected in four of five attempts at the hoop, which put Creighton clear out of the running. Creighton finished second in the 1933 race.

Irish Coast to Triumph Holding Lebanon without a field goal in the first half, Joe Dienhart’s Cathedral net quintet led the upstaters, 16 to 2, at half time and coasted to a 24 to 16 final verdict in spite of Lebanon’s determined rally in the last portion of the game helre Saturday. Carson, with three field goals and the same number of free tosses, took high scoring honors with nine points. Johnny O'Connor looped in three field attempts. Dan Rohyans, star Irish center, was injured. Seventeen personal fouls were called on Lebanon and eight on Cathedral. A near-capacity crowd turned out to see the action.

Billy Fetrolle Follows Alger Formula to Reach Top

Jan. 22.—Nightfall on a bleak Dakota farm . . . a sprawling barn . . . two kerosene lanterns swaying from rafters . . . a subzero wind whistling through the boards ... a thin, ribby youngster trying out punches with his kid brother.

Success in the the ring seems to demand a close adherence to the Horatio Alger formula. Most of the great fighters come up from obscurity.

COLONEL JACOB RUPPERT, owner of the New York Yankees, became emphatic the other day during a conversation with Daniel M. Daniel, New York World-Telegram baseball expert and advised his interviewer that Joe McCarthy will be the Yankee manager until he fails to deliver the goods—Babe Ruth or no Babe Ruth. Mr. Ruppert said: "McCarthy’s contract has two more seasons to run—through 1935—and I shall continue to support him as the absolute boss of every player on the team—and that includes Ruth.” Jake thus disposed of a rumored pact between Ruppert and Ruth calling for the Bambino to step into McCarthy’s shoes when Joe’s contract expires.; "McCarthy’s future is in his own hands,” the prexy declared. “I am satisfied with what he has accomplished during his three years with us and if he proves he deserves to continue on, he will remain indefinitely. No one knows from year to year how things are going to turn out.” Owner Ruppert also expressed the opinion that Babe Ruth is the last of the "$50,000 and up” ball players. The Babe will receive $35,000 this year, which is SIO,OOO more than Ruppert’s first offer. The colonel concluded: “It isn't in the cards; it isn't at the gate. However, I predict big attendance increases this coming season.”

FOR Indianapolis high school basketball quintets the turning point in the 1933-34 campaign has been passed, and it looks like two teams will battle stubbornly down the long home stretch. Tech is indisputably out in front, with two victories over Shortridge, and with the city crown annexed Saturday night. However—and Tech should be able to remember this from last year—it makes little difference who leads at the half-way pole. The race will not be over until the sectional honors are awarded on the evening of March 3.

After Tech disposed of Shortridge in the city tourney opener Friday night, the meet was virtually cut and dried. Neither Manual, in the semi-final, nor Washington in the final tilt offered a serious upset threat to the Green and White basketeers. Manual’s speedy little cagers fought their hearts out against the Campbellmen Saturday afternoon, and rallied in the second half to score fifteen points against Tech’s twelve. But even against that rally Tech obviously had things well under control. Washington likewise put on a courageous show against the east siders, but again Technical Tim’s charges were masters of the situation. In city tourney play Johnny Townsend not only sustained his mark as one of the greatest high school centers in the state, but proved his all-round ability by playing at forward against Shortridge, and at guard against Manual, returning to the center ring in the Washington contest. Johnny forsook the role of a high scoring star to feed the ball to his mates. 0 0 0 FINAL decision will be forthcoming early this week on whether a three-day sectional meet will be staged here this year. Gary tried it last year, and will repeat this year. Local high school officials have considered —agreeably, it is understood —the plan as a means of preventing overstrain on the players by crowding all the games into 'two days.

The rebellion against the high priests of the Garden appears to be complete. Their administration has been neither wise nor wholesome. Their losses have been heavy, both in caste and currency. Mast of the star fighters prefer to fight elsewhere, and for less money. Their bitterness is deep-rooted. The time has come, I believe, for the Garden to do one or two things: Either get into the fight game or get out of it. The present situation is detrimental to all concerned, including the customers. The customers should not be compelled to row down the narrow’s to see a fight on a barge that rightfully belongs in a comfortable, commodous arena built for fights. In time the customers may decide to stay away from the Garden altogether. They are a brave lot, but they can be bounced around only so long.

He is known for his feats of strength and two of four world records at weight-lifting that he established still stand. Although not of the rough type, Steinborn has seen three of his opponents whisked to hospitals, each being a victim of the "bear hug.” Matchmaker Lloyd Carter figures the tussle will provide an unusual amount of action. Both stalwarts are nationally known mat stars, with Slagel being heralded as the latest sensation in heavyweight ranks. He defeated Joe Savoldi last summer in New York.

Proposals for a three-day state tournament have been frowned on by Mr. Ihsaa, w’hose spokesman. Mr. Arthur Trester, says it would be impracticable for several reasons. An important one is that lengthening the tournament w’ould force players and students attending the meet to lose another school day. Additional expense attendant on coming to the meet probably w’ould discourage a good portion of the crowd from outstate, Trester says. tt tt tt IT had to happen. Notre Dame’s basketball quintet, one of the greatest ever developed at the Irish school, went to Pittsburgh with a record of twenty-two consecutive victories, doped to beat the Panthers, and found Doc Carlson’s men too much for them. Therein is another example of the inconsistency of basketball dope. When Pitt invaded the midwest a month ago both Purdue and Butler beat them. Notre Dame, in turn, downed the Boilermakers and Bulldogs. the latter by a w’ide margin. And, by the way, Pitt was the last team to defeat Notre Dame prior to Saturday night. Singularly, the score of that game a year ago was almost identical with the score Saturday night. A year ago Pitt won, 39 to 35; Saturday night they triumphed, 39 to 34. In tw’elve games played between the two schools Pitt has won seven, and Notre Dame five, although the Irish have outscored the Panthers. s> tt tt THE local high school schedule this week finds the ShortridgeCathedral tilt topping the list.
