By Eddie Ash F’eoria Looks Forward to Pin Classic a b a Killefer Arrives; Signs Two New Hurlers

■V ♦ | i4*.. *

'T'HE thirty-fourth annual American Bowling- Congress will be held in Peoria, 111., this year, beginning on March 8 and ending on April 9. The A. B. C. was organized in 1901 and the first world’s tenpin classic was staged in Chicago that year. Officials are hoping to revive interest in the tournament which slumped in 1933 when only 1,600 keglers assembled at Columbus, 0., for prize money of more than $60,000. Previous to last year, attendance at the meet averaged close to 8,000 bowlers, who paid $126,000 in entry fees to strive for SIOO,OOO prizes. In view of the upturn in attendance at other sports events this season, the number expected to participate in this year's session over the twenty-four new drives at Peoria is set at 6,000. 808 B B B PEORIA has prepared for this invading army of five and two-man teams by constructing a huge stage, raised sixty-seven inches above the floor of the national guard armory there This is expected to give spectators an unobstructed view. The 1934 tournament will see the operation of anew rule which allows each man of a five-man team one warm up ball before actual rolling. This ball will be rolled just to test the approach to the foul line, and no pms will be set up Heretofore, all bowling was done “cold " no player being allowed a practice ball. This rule wall apply only to members of five-man teams, and will have no effect on two-man squads and the individual events. a a a nan THE first A. B C tournament was held in Chicago thirty-three years ago. Then forty-one five-man teams competed over six alleys. Thirteen Years after that Billy Knox of Philadelphia rolled the first 300 game in the congress’ history. The score in a pin classic has been equaled only twic f> sincY then—by Charlie Reinlie of Racine. Wis„ in 1926 at Toledo, and J Karsten.s of Ft. Sheridan, 111., in the 1933 tournament at Columbus. The current crop of bowlers will be shooting io break the maiks of two record holders when they bounce their mineralites down the Peoria alleys. These marks are held by Gilbert Zunker. Milwaukeean, and Larry Shotwell, Covington <Ky.> bowlers. Zunker holds the highest all-events total for nine games. Last year at Columbus he blasted out a 2.060 string, chalking up anew record of 1.415 pins in doubles teamed with Frank Benkovic. Shotwell, with a score of 774 at Cleveland in 1930, holds the high three-string record. nan ana THE big prize of the tournament will go to the champion five-man team. This award—sl,ooo in cash and diamond medals emblematic of the international title—went to a Covington <Ky.) squad last year. Its winning score was 3,021, with games of 1,023-968-1.030. Indianapolis pin men have their hearts set on crashing into the lucrative prize money and there will be many Hoosier sharpshooters among the high score seekers at Peoria. Veterans and youngsters will make the trip from here and will compete in all events. ana ana RED KILLEFER, manager of the Indianapolis baseball club, landed in town late last night and. after he crawled out of the hay today, the signing of a couple of big right-handed pitchers, one a veteran and the other a promising semi-pro, was announced. They are John Miljus, the old Pittsburgh Pirate w T ho used to pitch in the American Association with Toledo He was picked up as a free agent. Miljus has been doing chores in the Pacific Coast League in recent years, but saw little service last season He was taken on bv Killefer to perform in the relief role for the Tribesmen. Hal Chamberlain is the youngster landed by Killefer., He was the shining light in southern California semi-pio circles last je.ir, winning twenty-three straight games. Chamberlin is 21, stands 6 feet 2 inches and weighs 185. aaa a a a KILLEFER is excited over young Chamberlain. The big fellow played with the Class AA semi-pros in California and possesses all of the well-known earmarks of a future star in league baseball. The lad has the build that is sure to attract the big league scouts, if he wins. Chiei Killefer conferred with Owner Norman A. Perry today and player contracts were discussed. The agreements will begin to move out at once. Regular players already in the city are pitchers Stewart Bolen and Bill Thomas and catcher Johnny Riddle. The American Association 1934 schedule was released for publication today. As announced previously the Indians will open on the road, at Toledo. April 17, and will open a SSr?S. here on April 24. also with Toledo. Trihe road and home dates follow.

Faber Says Salary Cut Is Back of His Move

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—Urban (Red) Faber, the oldest major league ball player and the American League’s only spitball pitcher, today sought employment with another major league club for the first time in his career. The Chicago White Sox announced Faber’s “retirement” for him Saturday, terminating twenty years of continuous service with that club. But Faber did not voluntarily quit the White Sox, according to the 45-year-old pitcher's version of what happened at Comiskey park when he came to discuss his contract. “I didn’t authorize the White Sox to announce my retirement,” said Faber from his home at Cascade, la. “They forced me to quit because they wouldn't pay me enough money to live on. I can’t pitch for nothing.” Faber planned to return to Chicago today to get his release from the White Sox in order to dicker with other clubs for his services. Faber has definitely made up his

amount of interest among local wrestling fans, inasmuch as both huskies are popular. They are exponents of the flying body scissors and are rated high in professional w 7 restling circles. The match promises to be a battle of science. Matchmaker Lloyd Carter has arranged a classy supporting card of two bouts for tomorrow night’s show. Sure-fire action is promised when Dick Raines, 225-pound "Texas Tornado,” clashes w 7 ith the clever Matros Kirilenko, 225. powerful Russian artist. Raines is rated one of the toughest huskies in the game. Kirilenko accepted the match after several other topnotch heavies passed it up. The Russian decisioned Tom ("Bad Wolf) Marvin here two weeks ago. In the other supporting tussle, the highly-touted Jewish star, Abe Coleman of New York, will make his first local appearance. Coleman claims to be the Jewish heavyweight champ and has beaten numerous headliners. He is publicized as one of the most colorful of present day performers and scales 200. despite the fact he is but five feet tw 7 o inches tall. He is billed against Jack Zarnas. a young Greek heavy of 210 pounds, who was a grid ace three years ago at Ohio university.

mind that he’ll never play with the White Sox again, although VicePresident Harry Grabnier said; ‘‘We’ll take Faber back if he wants to come.” The last game Faber pitched indicates that all the cunning and pow r er hasn’t left the veteran spitballer’s arm. He pitched the second game of the city series last fall, held the Cubs to five hits and blanked them, 2-0. Faber pitched eighty-six innings last season, mostly in relief roles, winning three games and losing four. He ranked fifteenth in earned runs with an average of 3.45. During his tw 7 enty-year career he won 252 games and lost 210. Faber is the last survivor of the ill-fated 1919 White Sox club, nine of whom were banished from baseball in the ‘‘Black Sox” scandal the following year. Faber did not pitch in the 1919 series because of a sore arm. Craig Wood Cops Galveston Open Bij United Press GALVESTON. Tex.. Feb. 19. Craig Wood, Deal (N.

17 Tilts for State College Net Fives; Wabash, De Pauw Clash

BY DICK MILLER Purdue appears to be ‘in” with the 1934 Big Ten conference net championship. Fresh from a decisive victory over lowa at lowa city Saturday, cocah Ward Lambert and his Boilermaker five headed into the far north section of league where they will battle the Minnesota Gophers at Minneapolis tonight. The second Hoosier entry in the big time loop, Indiana university, headed into lowa city today where they hope to make the Hoosier superiority over the Hawkeyes decisive, at least for this week. The Hcosiers took a close one from Chicago Saturday and if they knock off lowa there will not be many chances left for any one to catch the Purdue boys. Several Important Games With Valparaiso at home to De Paul of Chicago tonight these three contests will launch Indiana collegiate hardwood performers on a week of seventeen engagements, many of them of major importance. The Boilermakers’ win over the Hawkeyes undoubtedly taxed their stamina, but the Lafayette performers are expected to “take” the Gophers. However, Minnesota handed lowa an unlooked-for early-sea-son setback and Purdue might be caught on the rebound. Returning to their home floor, the conference leaders will be host to Michigan in what should be another victory next Saturday. Only three more tussles, all important ones, against Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois in the next two weeks, will wind up the Purdue card. I. U. Has Two Tilts Indiana likewise has two games this week and if the Hoosiers are “on” tonight at lowa and take the Hawkeyes, they should be in great shape for Illinois at Bloomington Saturday. Confidence is the most needed thing in the Hoosier camp at present. Four fine secondary college games are on tap for Tuesday night with Indiana State and Central Normal in a teachers college rivalry scrap at Danville and Ball State and Franklin, another pair of natural rivals, on the hardwood at Franklin. Earlham travels into Ohio and likely will show 7 Dayton a few 7 tricks as Blair Gullion has a classy five this year. Manchester likewise travels out of the state to Kalamazoo college and chance for victory is also very good. Notre Dame swings into action for the week on Wednesday night at home against Michigan State. The State five nearly snapped the recent Notre Dame record winning streak and it was only after some great work by Ed Krause in an overtime

period that the Irish conquered. With Butler facing the Irish at Indianapolis on Saturday and the Pittsburgh defeat of last Saturday fresh on their mind, things are not so rosy at South Bend. No rivalry in the state has any more color attached to it than the Wabash-De Pauw series. When these tw 7 o clash at Greencastle Friday night some fast action is assured. Wabash had the early season game between the tw r o at Crawfordsville all sewed up until the last couple of minutes, but was nosed out by one point. Indiana Central will be out to start another winning streak against N. A. G. U. at the University Heights floor. Ball State upset the Greyhounds after seventeen victories last week. Evansville college, away from home for a two-game road trip, will stop first at Terre Haute to tackle Wally Marks’ State Teachers’ five Friday and then head on to Muncie for a Saturday night engagement against another normal school foe, Ball State Teachers. Taylor will entertain the Ball State “rhinies” Friday. Saturday night Franklin will play host to Manchester in what should be a victory for the Grizzlies. As mentioned before Butler will tackle its old rival, Notre Dame, at the fieldhouse Saturday night in the only game this week for the Bulldogs. JAY BOZEMAN STILL LEADS CUE TOURNEY By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 19. Jay N. Bozeman, youngest but most sensational performer in the tourney, again held sole possession of the lead in the world three-cushion billiard championship today by virtue of brilliant cuemanship last night. Bozeman scored his seventh win in eight starts in the short space of twenty-seven innings, just four more than the world record of twen-ty-three. His swift, precise strokes defeated Kinrey Matsuyama of New York, national champion, 50 to 25.

Carnegie Head Hits at Irish-Trojan Football BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Feb. 19—The caustic pen of Henry- S. Pritchett, presi-dent-emeritus of the Carnegie foundation for the advancement of teaching, has been unsheathed again, this time to expose alleged gridiron commercialism in two of America’s outstanding football universities. Notre Dame and Southern California. Pritchett,of New York in 1929 wrote the scathing preface to historic bulletin No. 23, lambasting the entire system of intercollegiate sports. His newest fling is a treatise, “A Slump in the Football Trade.' It is included in the foundation’s annual report, issued today. He made particular point of a three-vear contract between Notre Dame and Southern

ticular point of a three-year contrac California, signed last spring. He said: “Last spring these two football enterprises (Notre Dame and Southern California) felt justified in signing a contract for three years in their football business, which, in spite of the they are more than 2,000 miles apart and the expenses of travel are heavy, will no doubt yield a satisfactory profit. These two institutions are among the most thrifty of all those engaged in the football industry.” Condemns Sports System Pritchett reproached both schools as follows: “It is a far cry from the devotion of the fathers who founded Notre Dame and of the earnest men who labored to create a university in southern California to the threeyear contract these colleges have signed to exploit their football teams for commercial purposes.” He charged that football commercialism is perhaps the most striking example “of the current in American life that sets away from intellectual ideals. When an institution of higher learning exalts a collegiate sport to a place of prominence above that of its scholarly life, it has turned its face backward.” It would be a real contribution to education, Pritchett said, if Notre Dame and Southern California would indicate how far the profits of their football business are used in supporting their educational activities; and still more interesting and important if they would indicate the relation of the football industry and the intellectual life. Student Dueling Better The football industry does not prevail among the well known universities of Europe, he said, but “no one can foretell what civilizing influence Nctre Dame and Southern California may exercise upon the backward universities of Europe.” Pritchett thought football more dangerous than the student dueling in Germany where “a fatal encounter is practically unknown and a serious wound is so rare as to be negligible.” Football, he said, “is an excellent game for college boys when played as a game. It is grossly demoralizing when developed into a commercial show for the public. To make a hundred thousand dollars by exploiting students before the public is no part of the work of a college that stands for intellectual ideals/

high school of this city has expressed willingness to sponsor the tourney. Under the proposed plan, it was said, participating schools would pay their own expenses. It was understood the plan would not go through unless Cathedral of Indianapolis agreed to defend its title. Earlier it had been stated that lack of funds would prevent holding of the tournament this season.
