By Eddie Ash Gordon Eyes 500-Mile Speed Classic m m m Coast Kinc: Sees Big Chance for Win %

0^ j* - 4 ilk. , *

'T'HE king of the Pacific coast speedways, A1 Gordon, has his eye set on the Indianapolis classic, the 1934 500-mile race May 30. At any rate the coast rises to nominate him as anew contender for the world’s auto speed crown. A1 hails from Long Beach and he was the pride and joy of race goers in California last year. Gordon won the ’33 Pacific coast championship by an impressive margin over many of the greatest pilots now racing under the AAA banner. Gordon announced a few days ago that he will compete in the international sweepstakes on the Indianapolis roaring way this spring and will be gunning for the small fortune that goes with the victory, lie has been at a wheel in the dare devil sport for several years, but until 1933 his fame was confined to minor tracks and races. He practically stepped into the front runner class in one season and in spectacular fashion. He has been a consistent winner at Ascot speedway, Los Angeles. A1 has been at the Indianapolis track before and knows what it takes to win. He guarantees to supply the courage if someone will supply the car. The Californian will take a chance with Lady Luck. a a a a a a JACK DILLON, the old Hoosier Bearcat 'right name Ernest Cutler Price), former light heavyweight champion, took his fighting name after a Hoosier horse, Lou Dillon. However, if the toss of a coin had gone the other way his ring name would have been Tommy Dillon. Ernest and Russell Price, brothers, were ambitious to become boxers and they rigged up their barn and constructed a home-made gym. Eventually they decided i* would be a wise move to change the name of Price. The picture of Lou Dillon, the horse, was among other pictures tacked up in their barn. Russell said: “Why not call ourselves Jack and Tommy Dillon?” The Dillon part of it quickly was agreed upon and they tossed a coin to settle on the Jack and Tommy choice. Ernest Price won the toss and became Jack, and Russell became Tommy. Jack went on to win a title, but Tommy was never more than a third or fourth rater, although generally regarded as a willing mixer. a a a a a a 'll THEN the 1934 American Davis cup tennis team lineup is announced VV it is said George Lott, ranked No. 10. will be on it. There has been much discussion over the 1933 tennis rankings that placed Lott low in the standings, and friends of the Chicago lad threatened to boycott something or other.* He had a good year and knocked of! a few* of the stars who were ranked above him on the official list. George will get the last laugh, however. He is a brilliant doubles player and in that department of play certain rivals higher in the rankings than tenth position are not so hot. And that is the reason many court followers are predicting that the Yankee Davis cup squad will be made up of Shields. No. 1; Allison, No. 2: Stoefen, No. 3. and Lott. No. 10. Under this unusual arrangement six ranking players will be skipped, from No. 4to No. 9. They are Sutter, Mangm. Wood. Grant. Parker and Gledhill. The tennis committee must protect its doubles, and Mr Lott’s skill hardly can be overlooked despite his position at the bottom of the “batting” order. Anyway the consensus of racquet experts indicates George rightfully belongs several pegs above his official listing. a a a a a a Muxie Rosenbloom. clowning king of the light heavies, does VV his dancing, sometimes he can pay the fiddler but often he cant reimburse his entourage. And thereby hangs a tale. The bold-front Maxie. who is often empty of pocket, was riding in his luxurious motor piloted by a patient chauffeur. One day, however, the driver lost his patience and. peeved at having received nothing in his envelop for several paydays, had the effrontery to squawk to his boss. “So you're squawking, eh?" sneered Max. “Well, give me that cap, get back here, and I’ll drive you.” a a a a a a GUNBOAT SMITH, fight referee, is accused by New York fans of being overfriendly with Jimmy iWise Guy) Johnston, matchmaker of Madison Square Garden. Three years ago Max Schmeling looked a sure winner over Jack Sharkey and Smith cast the deciding ballot for Jack, the favorite of Johnston. The other night Charlie Massera was supposed to be out in front on points over King Levinsky and when a deciding vote was needed to swing the verdict to the Kingfish. Smith came through with it like a good soldier. Matchmaker Johnston thinks the King has more box office appeal than Massera. a a a a a a Jim Londos, the perpetual motion wrestler, soon will have enough money stored away to build a yacht and cruise away to Greece. In recent bout.s he drew 16.500 at Detroit. 20.200 at Chicago and 17.000 at St. Louis—--53.700 within eight days. a a a a a a The Kentucky Derby purse was cut from 550.000 to $30,000 this year on the basis of cold figures. In 1928 the pari-mutuels in Kentucky handled $34 750.586; in 1932 the 1 handle" dropped to $12,859,951. and last year it took another plunge for anew low to $9,574,683.

Steve Hamas Whips Fading Schmeling in Ring Encounter

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 14.—1 t would be exciting to the imagination to write that anew meteor flashed across the pugilistic heavens last night to use a unique and picturesque phrase, but I doubt that this is precisely the way to describe it. By now of course, you know that Herr Max Schmeling had his ears pinned back by young Steve Hamas in the Convention Hall in twelve rounds of this and that—and you know that Herr Max. once the heavyweight champion, was starting his comeback. It seem then that young Mr. Hamas did a very extraordinary job in decisively beating the Ger-

no question about the fact that in football, “as Cherry goes, so goes Washington,” and the Continental j basketball team this winter finds Cherry in the important role of forward. Friday night young Mr. Cherry will lead the pur-ple-clad warriors against Cathedral at the Irish gym in the only meeting between the two schools this season. Cherry will graduate in June. Because of the rivalry that exists between the two teams, a capacity ! house is anticipated. It will be a city series clash.

ONE of the best bits of basketball coaching advice Backboard has heard in a long time came the other night from Babe Wheeler, who instructs the Brazil Red Devils in hardwood tactics. As he sent his team into a game against Wiley of Terre Haute, Babe instructed the lads; "Win if you can, but don’t shoot oftener than you have to.” And did the boys follow his instructions? To the letter. They won, 27 to 25. And, obviously, they didn’t shoot oftener than they had to.

a a a \ CHAP dropped by the office yesterday that any one’s basketball team would like to sign up for a pivot job. He was Tiny Reichert, traveling with a bearded quintet that plays under the familiar trademark of the House of David. When Tiny stands erect his hat is seven feet and eleven inches off the sidewalk. Backboard, who scales up to a mere six feet, comes almost to Tiny's shoulders. The team is making an invasion of Kentucky. a a a WE RE told that Joe Smith, center on the Washington (Ind.) high school quintet, tried to bluff a train with an auto the other day. Joe’s jumping prowess stood him in good stead. He leaped out of the car to safety, leaving the car to fend for itself, with the usual results. Joe's team will stage one of * '.e cage classics of the week at Martinsville Friday night. Another prep contest that should be worth watching is the Hartford City-Wabash encounter in Hartford City Friday night. By the way, A. L. Trester, commissioner of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, the other day muttered: “Poohey,” when Backboard asked him about the rumor that, he will leave the state organization to line up with a national high school association. a a a And still the letters pour in. Here are a few more: Dear Carl—You are picking Tech as the state champs and telling evervbody what a wonderful team they have. Some say it is the best in Tech’s history. It is a food team but they have had better. Those of '29 '32 and '33 were as food if not better, but were beaten by their dependence on one player (Edwards), and their inability to remain cool when their opponents eet in the lead (state tournament '29). Saturday nifht an inferior but fast Connersville team, after takinr the lead, befan rushinf the slow moving Tech offensthat instead of takinc advantage of tue opening left in their defense bv the rushing tactics. Tech blew up and began throwing the ball every place but where they should. When Townsend failed to hit in the first half due to his three guards, it seemed that the whole team gaye up. My idea is then, if they can get iyar from their dependence on Townsend, and

What he did do was a creditable job. not an ex- ! traordinary job. a a a npo me the story of the fight was I that the wrong man with the ! cane climbed between the ropes Young Mr. Hamas was seconded by the ancient and venerable Charles . Harvey. Still suffering from the ; effects of an automobile accident, he hopped across the ring on a cane. He didn't need it particularly. The German could have made better use of it. In short, he was that bad. He fought like a cripple. There have been a lot of exchampions starting the long haul back to the top who have failed miserably, but I think srhmpiir^

And here’s what she has to say: Dear Backboard—l thought my days of writing letters to the newspapers were over, but I just can’t resist the temptation to write at least one more about Shortridge. Maybe you don’t know—and neither do a lot of people—that it appears that the same thing will happen this year as happened last year about the time this annual comes off in the Tech gym between Tech and Shortridge in the sectional. It’s history repeating itself all over again. Shortridge will have Tech looking silly at their next meeting. The Blue Devils are just hitting their stride and from now on everything they do will be an improvement on what they have done in the £ast. Manual. TVasbington and Broad ipple are below par this season and won’t be able to furnish enough opposition to worry Shortridge. so everything looks like clear sailing.

Tomorrow night the Packers will go to Bainbridge to meet the Bellmore Texacos at the high school gym there.

Bozeman Is Cue Leader Willie Hoppe Threatens Advantage in Tourney. By United Prets NEW YORK. Feb. 14.—J. N. Bozeman Jr. held first place in the world’s three - cushion billiard championships today, but it was more than an even money bet that he again would be tied for the lead when tonight’s matches are concluded. Bozeman, with five victories in as many starts, took the lead by defeating Augie Kieckhefer of Chicago last night, 50 to 45, in fiftyseven innings. Willie Hoppe of New York threatened the Californian’s position. He meets Otto Reiselt of Philadelphia in the last match on today's schedule. Hoppe, who has won all his four matches thus far, was a favorite to move into a tio by defeating Reiselt, winner in only one start out of six. In third place is Allen Hall of Chicago, who yesterday subdued Alfredo De Oro, New York, 50 to 37 in sixty innings. Bozeman was trailing by 10 points, but moved up and took victory in a closely fought finale that virtually eliminated Kieckhefer. Welker Cochran, of San Francisco, the defending champion, took sole possession of fourth place with an easy 50 to 29 victory in fiftynine innings over Len Kenney of Chicago, last night. In the other match yesterday, Kinrey Matsuyama of New York, the national champion, scored his third triumph in six contests by beating Tiff Denton of Kansas City, former world champion, 50 to 46, in sixty-seven innings. Niblack Will Head Golfers John L. Niblack, local attorney and prominent in public links golf affairs, has been appointed Indiana member of the Public Links Section Committee for 1934, announcement by the United States Golf Association disclosed last night. Niblack, who has been president of the local association and active in promotion of the annual tournament to determine team members to compete in the national championship, will now enlarge his activities to include similar work in the entire state. Welcome home ceremonies for Ralph Stonehouse, Coffin municipal course pro, who recently captured the Miami open championship in Florida, will be planned soon with all local golfers invited and Niblack in charge of the meeting. Stonehouse is expected home late in March after he competes as a member of the United States team in international four-ball match tournament in the south.

Why would he want to fight, then, if not to regain his old position in the spotlight? a a a IT seemed to me that this was the logical way to diagnose the young man’s emotion, and so when he stepped to the middle of the ring with the former Penn State football star last night. I expected to see a very determined, if not a very desperate, man in action. Quite possibly the German was both. He my have been both determined and desperate, but the net result was anything but flattering to him as a fighter.

A WrestlingLeg-Acy Doc Sarpolis’ Famed Underpinnings Hurt in Fall, So Jim McMillen Gets Revenge. B YVERN BOXELL LEGS, they say, make the athlete. And legs—sinewy and steel-like—-have made Doc Karl Sarpolis, exponent of the flying scissors, one of the most feared grapplers in the business. But these same legs which have carried the wrestling medico steadily toward mat success proved his undoing at the armory here last night. Asa result, Jim McMillen's cup of revenge was running over today. Big Jim evened the count with Sarpolis before a packed house, the third and deciding fall coming when Sarpolis suffered leg injuries when tossed from the ring. a a a ■— - ■

THE lanky Sarpolis has established himself as quite a favorite with local followers of the burping behemoths, and his triumph over McMillen one week ago put him ace high. But Sarpolis’ victory was protested by the former Illinois U. grappler, who demanded a rematch immediately—and got it. For a major part of last night’s entertainment, it appeared that maybe Jim was all wrong and that it would have been better to have left matters as they stood originally. On several occasions, Sarpolis wrapped his lanky legs around Mr. McMillen’s waistline and applied pressure that would have made a less courageous warrior grunt the proverbial “uncle." All the way through their fifty minutes of work, the big fellows sparred, jabbed and punched much in the manner of the Golden Glove boys, and there were cheers and boos for every punch, it apparently mattering little who did the pitching and catching. Big Jim took the first fall in twelve minutes after the boys had run the gamut of thrills. They alternated in tossing each other over the ropes. Sarpolis was pinned with a crotch and slam when he returned to the ring after bouncing his well-thatched dome on the Armory hardwood. a a a NO sooner had the second fall started than Sarpolis folded his legs around McMillen in none too gentle fashion, and the crowd expected another one-minute fall, such as was turned in by Sarpolis in their first meeting here. But Jim crossed ’em. He writhed, twisted and grimaced for fully five minutes, finally squirming under the ropes. Later Sarpolis applied the hold again, but Jim had the answer this time. He rested Sarpolis’ back over the top rope and dropped both fists with much force on Mr. Sarpolis’ tummy. Karl was not to be denied, however. After seventeen minutes, he tossed McMillen out of the ring, and when big Jim crawled back in, Sarpolis again embraced his abdomen and it was al lover. The third and final fall had the crowd on its feet throughout the entire twenty-one minutes it lasted. There were thrills enough for a whole evening. Sarpoiis was counted out while lying on the floor outside the ring, where he had been placed by one of McMillen’s flying tackles. Removed to the dressing room, it was reported that Sarpolis’ hip had been knocked out of place. a a a ANOTHER long and lanky youth stepped into local favoritism last night in the person of Roland Kirschmeyer, former Oklahoma collegian. The

Last night he used it as if on limited rations. I should like to write that Hamas won a glorious victory but that would not be the truth. To the extent that he beat the man who once held the heavyweight championship of the world —and perhaps at this point it would not be out of order to remind you that he won the championship on his back —the young man from New Jersey did all that was asked of him. But in whipping Schmeling, Hamas merely whipped a slow T-mov-ing, slow-thinking, slow puncher. I think he did much better the night he knocked out Tommy Loughran. I also think that Loughran, faded as he is, would have beajen the German just as decisively, if not more so, last night.

Know Him ? YOU'VE heard of his son and seen pictures of his son many times, but only rarely have you seen a photo of this gentleman. He's Colonel R. P. Jones of Atlanta, Ga. The son has won a few golf championships—in fact most of the titles that exist.

Ellsworth Vines Wins From Big Bill Tilden Smashing Play of Younger Professional Tennis Star Evens Standing in Championship Series Before 2,500 Persons Here. The smashing power of youth overcame the experience of Big Bill Tilden on the Butler fieldhouse tennis court last night and Ellsworth Vines evened the score in the national professional net series at 9-all with a three-set win over Tilden. The two ranking pro tennis stars will return to Indianapolis next month, teaming to meet Henri Cochet and Martin Plea, aces of the French tennis players. They will perform in Tomlinson hall March 11 and 12. Tilden said last night-

The 42-year-old veteran of international tennis fame started last night’s match with the speed and skill that ranked him as the top court star of the world for many years, taking the first two games of the first set before Vines steadied away and split the next four games with Tilden. Then Vines annexed four in a row to take the first set, 6-4. In the second set Vines picked up three games before Tilden countered and they split four. Tilden went on to win two more, but his younger adversary took the second set with three placements to alternate corners and an ace. It was in the third set that Vines shone. His smashing services got past Tilden several times, and although Big Bill always has had a bag full of trick shots he used few last night, seldom leaving the baseline to parry Vines’ bullet-shots. The third stanza was a love set for Vines, whose serves and returns sizzled across the net in almost perfect control, driving past Tilden or zooming from the floor far beyond his reach. In the final game of the match Vines shot across three straight

Thom and Harrell to Remain If Peden Heads I. U. Staff

If Don Peden leaves Ohio university at Athens to become head football coach at Indiana university, succeeding Billy Hayes, resigned, fewer changes will be made in the coaching staff at the Hoosier state institution than originally were expected, it was reported unofficially in Indianapolis today. Probably the only member of the present staff of grid assistants at Indiana who will be replaced will be A.

Peden, it is understood, plans to Swetonic Sold to Boston Club By United Press PITTSBURGH, Feb. 14.—Steve Swetonic. Pittsburgh Pirate righthand pitcher, was sold to the Boston Braves last night, reducing the Pirate roster to twenty-nine players. Swetonic was purchased from the Indianapolis American Association Club after the 1928 season.
