By Eddie Ash Canzoneri Pleads for Another Chance m m m Mistreated by Barney Ross. Tony Says

TPOXY CANZONERI, former lightweight boxing champion, of New Orleans and New York, has lodged a protest that most fistic goers will approve. * Tony never took a backward step in the ring and he is rated as one of the I>est crowd pleasers in the history of the glove sport. Harney Ross, of New York and Chicago, new lightweight king, signed yesterday to meet Jimmy McLarnin, welter king, in a battle for the 147-pound title. Canzoneri thinks he has been tossed aside in a manner that a fighter of his caliber does not deserve. He wants another chance with Ross and points out that during his reign he always was willing to give everybody an opportunity at the crown. Canzoneri lost his title to Ross by a hairline decision in Chicago, in ten rounds, and in a second fight in New York, over a longer route, Ross again won the nod* by a w hisker. The little, hard fighter had the following to say for the public ear in New York today: “Ross was paid $36,000 for meeting me for a second time here in September, and can get as much more for another whirl. There is no reason why he shouldn’t meet the issue, just as I met it while champion. Neither decision he was fortunate enough to get over me was clean cut, so why should he sign to box Jimmy McLarnin, who now probably would experience difficulty doing 147 pounds, when' the fans would like to see him again tackle me at 135?” a a a man . . BILLY PETROLLE, the hard-fightmg Fargo Express, is washed up as a prize fighter after a long and splendid career, but the New York sports scribes have overlooked what is said to be the real cause of Billy’s fade-out. Petrolle still carries a wicked wallop and will stand toe to toe and battle, but his sight is impaired. Asa matter of fact, ring followers in Indianapolis believe that is ALL that is wrong with Billy, but of course it’s enough to sidetrark any boxer and compel him to hang up his gloves. The last time the Fargo Express fought in this city he met Jackie Purvis, in 1930. and it was Billy’s first bout after a long period of rest that he had taken in an effort to restore his eyes to normal vision. The Indianapolis boys got wise to this fact and imparted the information to * Purvis, who promptly took advantage of Petrolle’s poor sight and kept jabbing him with a left hand. Much to the amazement of the customers, Purvis won the bout on point*. Petrolle tried to connect with his haymaker. but hi* blows missed, and often by ridiculous margins. It was apparent then that Petrolle had no business re-entering the tough fight game, yet he went right ahead and engaged in important matches until Wednesday night in New York even Billy's best supporters decided he was through. No information ever has come out of New York touching on the condition of Petrolle's eyes. a a a * * COLLEGE sport fans of more than twenty years ago will recall the slugging feats of Red Murray. Notre Dame baseball player. The Irish nine took a trip down the Monon one spring and fans of the era relate that Murray crashed home runs against Purdue, at Lafayette; against Wabash, at Craw’fordsville; against De Pauw at Greencastle, and against Indiana university, at Bloomington. Old Red just stayed on the ; same track and knocked ’em over the fence. He later was a star with j the New York Giants and was with the Gotham team when the late Bugs Ravmond. pitcher, was a pain in the neck to Manager John McGraw and the late owner, John T. Brush. The club employed a body guard for Raymond to follow* him around, check on his movements and endeavor to keep him oh the straight and narrow. Murray says the best laugh supplied by Bugs was produced one day when the big fellow was called on the carpet again, something that was always happening to Raymond. Owner Brush read off to Bugs a long list of derelictions that the bodyguard had reported. Mr. Brush said: “The report says that you went into a saloon at the comer of Broadway and Forty-ninth street ana had five beers; that you went into that case and had ten beers; that you went into the case at Fortieth and Eighth avenue and had three beers and a big onion. What do you say to that?” And Bugs replied: “It's a lie—l didn't have an onion.’' m m n a a a THE basket shooting lads of Southport high school, fresh out of winning the Marion county championship, exclusive of Indianapolis teams, think they will have something important to say about the local state sectional that will come tripping along early in March. The suburban sharpshooters were rewarded for capturing the county laurels with a time off and an opportunity to take in the recent Indianapolis city tourney “to look over the crack teams they w*ill meet in the sectional.” Coach Scott told his charges to do a little “scouting on their own,” and to make up their minds that there is not a thing to fear, regardless of the fine records posted by the big town pastimers. The Southport stalwarts don't hesitate to say that while the city cage fans are trying to make up their minds on a choice between Technical and Shortridge, that it might be a good idea to keep an eye on the Cardinals. a a a van INDIANAPOLIS once was the scene of a six-day bike race for women riders, or rather it was a six-night affair, the girls pedaling from about 7 p. m. each evening until around 11 p. m. The event was held at Tomlinson hall about thirty years ago and was promoted by Walter Wilmot, formerly the manager of the Minneapolis baseball club and who at one time was connected with the Indianapolis nine. A wooden track was built In Tomlinson hall, sixteen laps to the mile, and it was banked so high the spectators in the gallery could lean over and touch the riders as they wheeled by. Five girls entered the event and during the daytime, in the downtown district, they pedaled on stationary bikes in the show windows of business houses. Tomlinson hall was packed every night to see the girls whirl around the boards. It was a novel venture and went over big. the old timers in these parts say. Prizes were offered for sprints at certain periods each evenings and it was then the girls put on their dizziest speed. The six-night race finished with the girls listed in the following order, Tillie Anderson. Lizzie Glaw, Bertie Wagner. Ida Peters and May Allen.

Pee Wee has fought in main goes in Pittsburgh. Cincinnati, Cleveland and elsewhere, and battled to a draw with the well-known Mose Butch, star Pittsburgh bantam. Weghorn is 22.

Two Tilts in Big Ten Wildcats Have Outside Chance at Cage Loop Title. Bv United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 26. Two Big Ten basketball games are scheduled this week-end, only one of which is likely to have any direct bearing on the championship race. Ohio State and Michigan, both out of the title chase, will meet tonight at Ann Arbor. Northwestern, with an outside chance at the title, meets Minnesota tomorrow Sight at Minneapolis. If Northestern loses to Minnesota, the cochampions of last year will be eliminated from the race. A victory for Northwestern will give the Wildcats a slight chance to figure in the championship. Purdue, undefeated leader, and lowa, holding second place with three victories and one defeat, are idle this week. Northwestern holds third place with four victories and two defeats. A revised Michigan lineup will face Ohio State tonight. Captain Ted Petoskey and Estel Tessmer, guards, and Fred Allen, center and forward, have been benched. Michigan's starting lineup will be composed of Plummer and Joslin, forwards; Jablonski, center, and Rudness and Tomagrio, guards. HOCKEY TEAM SCORES TWICE IN 27 SECONDS By United Press DETROIT, Jan. 26. Detroit scored two goals in twenty-seven seconds of the first period to defeat Buffalo, 2 to 0, in an International League hockey game here last night. Foster scored on a pass from Massecar and Marker scored on a pass from Carrigan, while Art Bartlett, Buffalo defenseman, was serving a penalty. The victory* gave the Olympics a five-point lead over the second-place Syracuse club.

If You Want a Tip on the Ring, Ask the Bald Eagle

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—Out in Chicago he is the big shot in sports. They call him the Bald Eagle of the loop. To his relatives he is Nate Lewis. In prize fighting there are few who are better known. He is one of the old guard keeping step with the moderns. Right now the Bald Eagle is running the Chicago Stadium, replica of Madison Square Garden, only a more vibrant replica in its promotional energies. To him and the stadium nothing is a “filler in” that has an outside chance to make the turnstiles croon a melody in dollars. The Bald Eagle has been through the mill. Thirty years ago he started managing fighters—as a side line —at the time he was selling beer pumps. I imagine Charlie White was the most spectacular fighter he ever had. Left Hook

A TEAM that has come along slowly this season until three weeks ago, and since that time has gone like gunpowder in a blast furnace, tonight will have its first real taste of big time basketball since it started its victory rush with the turn of the new year. Cathedral’s invasion of Shortridge is significant from several points of view. In the first place it will decide whether the Irish have only a good team that has been able to down six mediocre teams, or whether they are first water cagers. Again it will shed some light on the actual city title. If Joe Dienhart’s boys trip up the Blue Devils at all decisively then Tech’s laurels as city champs will be not quite as green as they have been thus far during the 1933-34 campaign (No pun intended.) And, more, the outcome of tonight s contest in Butler fieldhouse will give most of us a glimmer as to what we may expect of the Irish when they go to Chicago to defend their 1933 national Catholic prep championship.

I’ve failed to notice anv publicity concerning the wellknown Tiger Cubs. You haven’t gone back on us, have you? Keep boosting ’em and you'll get a response. "The Cubs are handicapped by lack of heighth this yesr. but they do their best to make up for it in speed and brains. Right now a jinx seems to be riding their boat.

ONE of the most consistent scorers Wabash college has had on the hardwood this year has been Don Joyce, a star forward. He was Instrumental in most of the Little Giants’ victories this year, and will be a real threat when the Scarlet meets Butler in the Fairview fieldhouse tomorrow night.

Charlie, as he was known to the sports pages, and a very hard hitting lightweight. I don’t recall how many shots at the lightweight title White had. Six or seven anyway. On at least three different occasions he should have won the championship. Always he failed. He had a red light mind. Nothing could go through it. Dumb, the sports writers said. Cautious, the sympathetic Bald Eagle corrects. ana “OUT don’t let anybody tell you he wasn’t a great fighter,” insisted the Bald Eagle. “He was all of that. I just wish he was around throwing that left hook today. That’s all I wish.” To me White was never a great fighter, but when the Bald Eagle says he was, you hesitate to give him an argument. The Bald Eagle knows fighters. I am inclined to be-

previous game had seen the New Marion team walk off the floor because of “home team spirit” officiating. Today Backboard received the following communication from the principal of the Butlerville high school: "Dear sir: “The Times, in its column ‘Off The Backboard', carried statements about a Letts-Butlerville basketball game, with every statement but one not true. I think you oaght to caution the editor of that roiumn that every statement he sees in frint is not necessarily gospel truth. And want the misstatements corrected in the same column. "Letts did play a game with Butlerville. Virgil Clarkson refereed the game, and until the last minute of the game had railed about the same number of fouls on each side. In the last minute Letts made five or six fouls purposely, it seemed to me. A total of sixteen fouls were called on Letts, and eleven on Butlerville. One Butlerville player and two Letts players were the onlv ones to leave the floor by the foul route. When the second Letts player left with about one minute left to filay the Letts coach did not substitute or him although he had plenty of subs. The final score was 41 to 24. "Incidentally, Clarkson did NOT referee the game with New Marion, the New Marion game at Butlerville was finished, and Butlerville did NOT complain to the I. H. S. A. A. about the game. "We will expect to see the misstatements retracted in the 'Backboard'.” “H. L. WHITCOMB.” a a a BACKBOARD’S apologies, Mr. Whitcomb and Mr. Clarkson, for any wrong unintentionally committed; and a thunderous fie upon purveyors of untruths for publication!

The Little Giants have not done well in recent years against Tony Hinkle’s men, but hope to chalk up a win when they invade the Bulldogs’ den, inasmuch as they have been going strong while the Blue team has had trouble, except in Missouri valley tilts.

lieve he knows fighters better than anybody in America. For example, when he heard the odds were 2 to 1 on Ross to beat Petrolle the other night he laughed. “Five to one would be stealing the dough,” he said. As the fight turned out, he was extremely conservative. I recall seeing the Bald Eagle around Broadway late last summer. It was just before the Baer-Schme-ling fight. Everybody liked Schmeling. The Bald Eagle smiled that sad, gentle smile of his. “You guys are in for an awful shock,” he predicted. “Baer’s liable to flatten him in the first round.” an . tt AS nearly as I can remember, the Bald Eagle was the only person in the fight game who felt that way. Moreover, he made his bets accordingly. He bet on a knockout in the first round, a knockout in the third round and a knockout to end the fight. He lost the first two bets and won the third at generous odds. The Bald Eagle knew his Baer, knew him much better than Schmeling, who looked upon the match as a soft touch, much better than Joe Jacobs, the German’s manager, who had been so eager to sign the papers. And here is the story—a story that in reality is a prelude to the death of Ernie Schaaf. Schaaf and Baer fought for the Bald Eagle in Chicago. It was a match that had been a long time in the making, and the Bald Eagle had steamed it up tremendously—even to the extent of confiding in close friends that this was one they shouldn't pass up by any means. U tt tt AT heart the Bald Eagle is still a fight fan. You would know that if you had seen him in his seat the other night throwing

Sophs May Start for Butler Against Wabash Bert Davis Plays Last Home Game for Bulldogs Tomorrow Night; Reissner’s Injury Still Keeps Veteran Forward on Bench. Hundreds of fans who watch the annual basketball classic between Butler and Wabash in the Fairview fieldhouse tomorrow night may see anew combination of sophomore cagexs on the floor for the Bulldogs, it was indicated today.

Scott Armstrong, of Ft. Wayne, husky center, probably will start at center in place of Gene Demmary; Roscoe Batts is almost certain to be Tony Hinkle's selections for the forward berth occupied by Frank Reissner until Reissner was injured, and Toy Jones may start at the other forward post in place of Bert Davis. However, Davis probably will play most of the game, inasmuch as it is his last home tilt. He becomes ineligible for competition at the end of the current semester. The Bulldogs expect a victory over the Little Giants despite the loss of five games by the Blue and White and an exceptionally good campaign by the Scarlet hardwood warriors. Hinkle expects the greatest danger tomorrow night to come from the lack of experience' in his starting lineup. If Reissner does not improve so that he can play when Davis leaves the team, Hinkle will have a hard job filling his forward positions. lOWA TOWNSMEN TO HONOR ELMER LAYDEN By United Press DAVENPORT, Ia„ Jan. 26.

punches while Ross and Petrolle were up there in the ring firing their best shots at one another. So when he went around ballyhooing Baer and Schaaf he meant it. Well, for nine rounds Baer did nothing but mugg it. He spent most of the time sticking his chin out and inivting Schaaf to crack it—which the young man proceeded to do with no little vigor. In the tenth Baer hit Schaaf so hard that it took thirty minutes to bring him to.

‘Okay With Me,’ McLarnin Greets Ross Fight Talk

BY JAMES A. SULLIVAN United Press Staff Correspondent^^ BERKELEY, Cal., Jan. 26.—Jimmy McLernin, the baby-faced Irishman who holds the world's welterweight title, was more concerned today with reducing his ‘ golf score than with the prospect of meeting sensational Barney Ross, lightweight king, in New York this spring. Announcement that Ross already has signed for the “fistie natural” reached here while Jimmy was pursuing a little white pellet over the fairways of a local golf course. Reporters were more excited than the Vancouver (B. C.) boy who won the title last summer with a single punch in the first round of his bout with Young Corbett 111 in Los Angeles. To all questions, and they were many, McLarnin laconically replied: “Suits me fine. See ‘Pop’ Foster about the rest.”

U. will be trying to win its first victory of the season. Central Normal, successful in six of seven games, is favored to down Eastern Illinois for the second time this season. Southern Illinois Teachers’ college sprung a surprise last night by nosing out Evansville. 35 to 33. It was Evansville’s second loss in eight starts. Valparaiso university won from Taylor, 33 to 20, at Valparaiso. Bauer led the winners with eleven points. W 0 MEN STAGE FIN ALS Jean Bauer and Marion Miley Play for Riviera Title. By United Press MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 26.—Jean Bauer of Providence, R. l„ and Marion Miley of Lexington, Ky„ were opposed today in the eighteen-hole final of the Riviera Club women’s golf championship. Miss Bauer advanced to the final yesterday by beating Kathryn Bragaw of East Orange, N. J., 4 and 2, while Miss Miley turned back Mrs. Lawrence Schwab of New York, 6 and 4.

Back in the dressing-room, Baer said to the Bald Eagle: “I’m through being a half-wit. I’ve piuged it for the last time. From now I'm a fighter. Remember that, and the next man that gets in the ring with me is going to get his block knocked off.” That was Schmeling. He did. Schaaf never recovered from that tenth-round punch. A few months later a light left jab from Camera upended him and he died.

Foster proved more loquacious. So much so that he stammered and stuttered in expressing his ideas about the fight. He is the champion’s manager and the crafty pilot who steered the McLarnin ship into a championship berth after many disappointments. “It isn’t enough,” were Foster’s first words. He referred to the $35,000 guarantee offered McLarnin to meet the newest fistic sensation for the 147-pound title. “A fight with Ross is worth $50,000 if it is worth a cent,” Foster claimed. “We will take nothing less than the champion’s percentage of 37% per cent,” he said in the next breath. “It ought to draw $200,000.” Pep plans to remain on the coast at least two w’eeks before going to New York to discuss the fight with the promoters. Jimmy will be left i behind to “do some more golfing.” (

Big Chief Is Coming Back

V 7 y. * .**

Chief (Tacks) Chewchki DESPITE the fact that the Ed 'Strangler) Lewis Chief Chevijiki match is expected to “pack ’em in'* at the Armory Tuesday, matchmaker Lloyd Carter of the Hercules A. C. has arranged two all-star bouts to serve as the supporting mat card. One of the prelim matches win witness the return of Frank Speer, former all-America football player of Georgia Tich, who engaged in a thrilling bout with Dick Raines, at the Armory on Jan. 16. In his assignment next Tuesday, he will clash with Whitey Hewitt, 222pound Memphis husky who is rated as one of the south’s best grapplers. Dr. Karl Sarpolis, a dentist, returns in the other supporting encounter to tackle Marshall Blackstock, rough and tumble performer from Houston, Tex. Sarpolis attended the University of Chicago at the same time that Dr. Ralph Wilson was at Indiana university, and the Chicago star was the only grappler to defeat Wilson in a Big Ten conference match. The Lewis-Chewchki bout, which promises to produce “fireworks,” has created more interest among mat fans than any event staged by the Hercules during the past year, according to Matchmaker Carter. There has been a large advance sale of tickets, but there are many choice seats available, Carter reports. There will be no boost in the price of admission. ‘Y’ Swimmers Tackle Champs The Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. swimming team will meet the Ft. Wayne Y. M. C. A. in a dual meet tomorrow night at Ft. Wayne. This is the sixth meet for the locals, who have won four and lost one to date. Ft. Wayne is the present state Y. M. C. A. swimming champion and a ill be the toughest foe faced by Coach Clark’s natators this season. Ft. Wayne has such stars as Dan Zehr, international Y. M. C. A. backstroke champion; Murphy, state breast tsroke champion, and Swartz, state 220-yard free style champion. To compete with these the local “Y” will enter Howard Krick, Don Pittman, Russel Mclntire, Albert Rust and George Burgess. SHANNON KNOCKED OUT By Times Special EVANSVILLE. Ind., Jan. 26. Moon Mullins, Vincennes featherweight, knocked out Jimmy Shannon, Indianapolis, in the fifth round of their scheduled ten-round encounter here last night. A left and right to the head sank the Indianapolis boy twenty-two seconds after the fifth frame began. Mullins weighed in at 127 pounds and Shannon at 126.
