your tickets early for the big game at the fieldhouse Saturday. It’s needless to go into details. Butler and Notre Dame are going to collide in their annual local fracas and it is one basketball contest where the customers go daffy and usually are ready to eat iron spikes. Notre Dame downed the Blue in an early season conflict at South Bend, but past performances don’t mean a thing when the Irish and the Bulldogs take to the hardwood. When a foul is called on Butler half the crowd screams “No!” And when a foul is called on Notre Dame half the throng cuts loose with the same shout. It supplies grand entertainment for the impartial fan. He is entertained by the swift-moving, hard-fighting players, by the antics of the crowd and by the perspiring officials. Like wrestling, Notre Dame and Butler cage teams turn on the juice when they meet and it’s an exhibition of exciting action every step of the way. All roads will lead to the fieldhouse Saturday night. Organize a basketball party and enjoy the fun. It’s recommended for whatever ails you. a a a a a a THE press bureau of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues tries to keep up with the newcomers entering the professional ranks and has succeeded in obtaining some interesting pointers on the brief career of Terry Tartarian, rookie shortstop signed by the Indianapolis Indians. The resume follows: “Red Killefer doesn't forget. Back in 1930, a kid of 17 reported to the San Francisco Missions, the club Killefer was managing in the Coast league. The kid registered as Terry Tartarian and said he was a shortstop. Killefer gave him a shot in the last four innings of a game. Terry handled eight chances and figured in two double plays. He looked loke a prospect, but during the winter months he was taken down with a serious attack of flu and could not report for 1931 Tartarian passed off the league roll call and was forgotten. But the kid is ready to come back this year and is listed among the newcomers of the Indianapolis Indians. Tartarian stands five feet, seven and a half inches and scales just over 160 pounds. After playing ball only six months, he went out for the team at Mission high school in San Francisco and made it, batting .301. The next year he jumped his slug figure to .440. Then he joined the American Legion team of the Golden Gate city, was elected captain and hit .600 to help cop the city title. Recovered from his illness, Tartarian played with two semi-pro championship teams in 1932-33 and decided he was ready for another plug at pro ball.” a a a ana JOHNNY LAYTON, famous cue player, says: :“We all have a bit of dog in us. Sometimes I think my hound is fine enough to put in a dog show " By “dog." Layton means weight, and weight is the billiard term for nervous tension, which often knocks the props right out from under the best, of the players, especially when engaged in tourney play over a long stretch. It tightens up the muscles and gives the green cloth artist the jitters. It s Old Man Worry and Old Man Fear combined into one. Performers have been known to sit in a corner, trembling, as they were "at rest” while their opponent was clicking off the points. Once a player starts squirming, the "weight” begins to grow and he is almost sentenced to carry more of it into each game until it cracks him wide open. Billiards resembles golf to a large extent in the manner of sapping the nervous energy of the participant. You are on your own standing up there, and under a tremendous strain. Concentration and confidence must go hand in hand to put a champion across. You can not shiver and shake and keep up with the parade of the cue elite. a a a a a a BABE ADAMS had plenty of speed as a Pirate pitcher—as Rabbit Maranville will witness. The Rabbit got orders from Manager Stallings to get on base somehow in a game that Adams was holding the high sign over the Braves. “Get on that base even if you have to get hit.” Stallings hissed in his ear. Not without trembling. Maranville approached the batter's box and took two swift ones through the heart of the plate tor strikes. Remembering Stallings’ orders, he gingerly edged closer to the plate, planning to deliberately get in the way of the ball. It came with the speed of an express—and smacked him on the head. Maranville fell like a poled ox. Umpire Moran was suspicious of the whole thing and told Maranville he'd let him get away with it if he could walk to first under his own power. Somehow the Rabbit managed to wabble down to first and then a leather-lunged fan yelped from the bleachers. “That’s putting the wood to it!” a a a a a a T>ILLY SULLIVAN, optioned to the Milwaukee Brewers by the Chicago White Sox. was the only regular of the Pale Hose who batted over .300 in the disastrous season of 1932, when the Sox last 102 games and finished in seventh place. Sullivan was in seventy-five games both in the infield and the outfield. The son of the old White Sox catcher played first base at Notre Dame, and has been tried behind the bat, but doesn't like it. Finding a place where he'll fit in the field seems to be the big problem, for he can hit well enough to suit any manager.

Stengel Rumored to Lead Dodgers As Carey Leaves

BY JACK CUDDY United Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—That rollicking revolt in Flatbush is expected to come to a head this week and result in the removal of Max Carey as manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers Charles D (Casey) Stengel, jovial coach, who considers himself a master mind because he eats brains and eggs for breakfast, stands out as the bailiwick's choice to succeed Carey. A raring demand for Stengel has swept across the Gowanus canal from the flats of Carnarsie to the docks of Red Hook. Hearkening back to the uproarious days when rotund Wilbert Robinson directed the Dodgers' drolleries. Brooklyn fans demand the return of slapstick baseball. They want Casey and his Gowanus gamboliers to make them laugh, if they can't have a winning team. The Brooklyn club has floundered into a quandary. To prevent civil war within the squad, the directors apparentlv must dispose of Manager Carey because they are unable to trade off the players, such as Joe Stripp. with whom Carey has been in constant disagreement. Accordingly the Brooklyn directors will hold a meeting just as soon as general manager Bob Quinn recovers sufficiently from an attack of influenza Old Bob is expected to emerge from his boudoir tomorrow or Thursday, when the managerial situation will be settled. Carey probably will be paid his $12.000 salary for 1934 and turned adrift. Quite unusual is this plan to make a manager walk the plank just beCHAMPION SURVIVES FIRST ROUND PLAY By I'nitfd Preg GREENTOWN. Ind.. Feb. 20.

fore the opening of spring training. However, even the most conservative writers have always admitted that the Dodgers are an unusual aggregation. Carey took over the Dodgers in the autumn of 1931, and his 1932 team finished third. In 1932 Carey was still fortified by the organization left over from the regime of "Uncle ’ Wilbert Robinson, whom he succeeded. The eighteen-year regime of Robinson, while not always successful, was colorful and popular with the fans. Uncle Wilbert conducts his outfits with a laxity which kept the Flatbushers in good humor and made them forget defeats. Carey, a former divinity student and strict disciplinarian, would have none of this. Feuds developed and disaster followed. Stengel seems perfectly suited for the post. He knows baseball thoroughly, and besides has a high sense of the ridiculous, plenty of color and a boisterous personality.

The Old Guard Thins Out as Red Faber Quits White Sox

BY JOE WILLIAMS Time* Special Sports Writer NEW YORK. Feb. 20.—Another spit ball pitcher has passed from the major leagues and that calls for a few well chosen remarks or otherwise—on the subject. Indeed I believe there is something in the code that makes such a piece imperative whenever one of these old timers drags his creaking frame into obscurity. At any rate Mr. Red Faber has left the White Sox after some twenty-two years of soup-boning, or elbowing or just plain pitching, and that leaves Mr. Burleigh Grimes of the Cards as the lone survivor of what has become an outlaw profession.

Red Plans Two Camps Killefer May Split Indian Squad, Leaving ‘Kids’ With BurweU. Announcement late yesterday to the effect the Indianapolis baseball club had abandoned its southern sprang training trip to Texas was followed today by the news that the team may establish two practice camps this year, one in southern Indiana and the other here at Perry Staduim. Manager Red Killefer said he has received so many appeals for tryouts from “unknown” lads that he may place Bill Burwell in charge of a training school and let him work with the “raw” rookies at the local park while the regulars and first string rookies go through the tuneup paces in southern Indiana. Dicker With I. U. The site of the southern Indiana quarters has not been selected, but negotiations are under way with Indiana university authorities and the chances look good for the Tribe pastimers to establish their regular camp at Bloomington, where the university fieldhouse will be available during inclement weather. Chief Killefer also is endeavoring to line up a number of exhibition games with state college nines, including Indiana, Purdue and Notre Dame. No Park at Tulsa Two reasons were advanced for the cancellation of the southern spring jaunt to Mineral Wells and Galveston. First, the string of exhibition games scheduled in the Lone Star state became indefinite as to dates and fulfillment owing to baseball uncertainties in that sector, and second, the expense of the long trip to Galveston and return was found to be enormous for a squad of twenty-five players. Two games carded in Tulsa were cut off when the ball park there was confiscated by the city and cut up into residence lots. Moreover, Dallas and Galveston also were uncertain about dates, leading Manager Killefer to arrange an entirely new training program. Bill Burwell will serve as Killefer’s lieutenant again this year and A1 Ritter will return as Tribe trainer.

Lure of Fairway and Greens Recalls Bobby Jones to Links

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Feb. 20.—Just how much Mr. Jones meant to the game called golf will be demonstrated late next month down in Georgia when he goes to the wars again in the Augusta national tournament. When Mr. Jones steps up to the first tee and lays into one with that big, black driver of his, it will be his first competitive stroke since that dramatic afternoon at the Merion Cricket Club when he rolled a putt across the green to give him the amateur championship and complete his grand slam that probably will survive through the ages. That was upward of four years ago, that afternoon at Merion, but none of the 18.000 who saw it have forgotten. When Mr. Jones teed off against Gene Homans in the final round three of the world’s great golfing trophies were his. He had blazed through the British open at Sandwich, the British amateur at Holyoke and the American open at Interlachen. Victory against Homans and he would have turned the feat thought beyond the skill of any mortal. Standing on the 29th tee. a twoshooter with an island green tucked away in the woods, Jones was dormie eight. Playing down a fairway that was lined with spectators twelve and fifteen rows deep, both men were on in two. After a quick glance at the cup, and in a silence so deep one could hear the wind rustling through the chestnut and willow trees, Mr. Jones brought Calamity Jane back and the ball slithered across the green to stop within a whisper of the hole. Homans stabbed straight for the cup in an effort to keep the match alive, but the ball rolled past—and hell broke loose. With a shout that shook the earth, the 18,000 worshippers of the game and the man who had mastered it, swarmed down upon him. So great was the crush, as the thousands fought to be near their hero, that the little stream which meandered about the green was choked with men, women and children, and Mr. Jones lost half his shirt and all his good humor before being rescued by a squadron of marines. That was the last of the great golf mobs. The customers quit with Mr. Jones. Our big tournaments since Mr. Jones settled down to his law work, have drawn only a handful as compared to the army which traipsed o'er hill and vale and dale in Mr. Jones’ wake. But as we said earlier, before we started reminiscing. Robot Robert will bang ’em down the fairway and arch ’em to the pin again next month. And it’s

I>ACK in 1919, if memory serves —Hey! Memory, a little service—the baseball magnates succumbed to a radical attack of esthetics and while flashlights boomed and reporters tore out for the telephones. banished the spit ball from baseball for all time, including holidays. The effect on the cosmic scheme was staggering. Wall Street was plunged into a panic. The army and navy stood by. Clarence Darrow was speechless. David Wark Griffith set about furiously to rewrite "The Birth of a Nation.” What was to become of these sterling artists who had devoted a lifetime of sacrifice and piety to developing the spit ball? Because of the sudden whim of bloated capitalists were they to be thrown out in a cold world, on their large, ex-

Wabash-Tiger Game Moved Up By Times Special GREENCASTLE. Ind., Feb. 20. Originally scheduled for Friday night, De Pauw’s return basketball game with Wabash has been moved up to Thursday night, officials here said yesterday. A record crowd is expected to watch the Little Giants attempt to avenge a 20 to 19 defeat administered by the Tigers in the first game betwen the two old rivals this season, at Crawfordsville.

our guess that despite Augusta’s limited population (60,342 by 1930 census) the tournament will outdrawn any of 1934. Most of the pros and many of the amateurs that Mr. Jones used to man-handle before his retirement will be there for one more shot at him. This time their quest may be successful, for advices from Atlanta are to the effect that Mr. Jones has slipped so badly that he often has as few as six birdies on his card. Garden Seeking Feather Champ By United Press NEW YORK. Feb. 20.—Madison Square Garden plans to stage an international elimination to determine a successor to Kid Chocolate’s world featherweight crown, vacated yesterday by the New York boxing commission. Mike Bellioise, New York featherweight, would be paired with Vittorio Tabagnini, Italian champion, who recently arrived. Winner of this match would meet Freddie Miller of Cincinnati, the N. B. A. titleholder, for the undisputed championship. Chocolate of Havana was recognized in New York state when he stopped Lew Feldman two years ago in the final of an elimination. He was not recognized by the N. B. A.

The indictment against the spitballers appeared to be that they were inimical to the poetic interests of the art of pitching, and besides they messed up the premises and made it hard to keep the janitors and the chambermaids in a happy frame of mind. And so the development of this type of pitching, then at its height* was abruptly

Heavy Mat Aces Clash Sarpolis Tackles Giant of West Tonight: Coleman on Card.

THE COMPLETE BILL

PRELIM Abe Coleman, New York. vs. Casey Berber. Los Angeles. One fall. 30 minutes time limit. SEMI-WINDI’P Dick Raines. Texas, vs. Matros Kirilenko, Russia. One fall, 30 minutes time limit. MAIN GO Karl (Doc) Sarpolis, Chirago. vs. Roland Kirchmever, Oklahoma. Two best falls in three. All principals are heavyweights First bout at 8:30 p. m. Local followers of the heavyweight mat game will have an opportunity of witnessing what promises to be an all-star card of three bouts tonight at the Armory where the Hercules A. C. will present its weekly wrestling show. Nationally known grapplers will provide the action. The main go tussle brings together two mat artists who feature skill and science. They are Roland Kirchmeyer, 228, ex-Oklahoma A. & M. all-round athlete, and Karl (Doc) Sarpolis, 215, former grappling ace at the University of Chicago. Sarpolis recently won and lost to Jim McMillen here, while Kirchmeyer, who stands six feet, seven inches, upset predictions at the Armory last week when he held Sol Slagel to a draw. The match will be for two falls out of three. A lively tussle is anticipated in the semi-windup when the 230-pound Dick (Thunder) Raines, rough Texan, clashes with the clever Russian heavy, Matros Kirilenko. The latter scales 225. Kirilenko was the only one of four prominent heavyweights who would accept the bout with Raines. Coleman vs. Berger Tonight's all-star card also will witness the initial appearance in a local ring of the highly touted Abe Coleman. New York, who is publicized as the Jewish heavyweight champion. Abe is rated one of the most colorful artists in the game. He is matched with Casey Berger of Los Angeles, who weighs 210. Berger is an experienced grappler, and has been substituted on the card in place of Jack Zarnas. The show will be staged at the usual popular prices and the first bout will get under way at 8:30.

Clevenger said.that when news of the breaking off of negotiations between Indiana athletics officials and Don Peden, Ohio university coach, were published, letters began pouring in asking for consideration for the job.

ant. They w r ere out hunting humming birds with howitzers. The spitball pitcher was more obscene in contemplation than in performance, and much less obscene than the catchers and infielders who sprayed their mittens with tobacco, rubbed their palms together and piped: “Come on kid, let's get this guy.” Some of the spitball pitchers were so deft and quick in applying the moisture that unless you watched closely you could not tell that the operation had been performed. Whether the delivery gave the spilhall pitcher, an advantage and how much has always remained a debatable point. Very likely it did help him somewhat. Practically all the spitball pitchers were stars. But they might have been stars anyway. Big, powerful men like Ed Walsh, Burleigh Grimes and Stanley Coveleskie, for example.

Notre Dame Replies to Carnegie Head’s Charges Layden, Father O’Hara Deny Accusations of Commercialism Ruling Athletic Relations Between Southern California and Irish School. By United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb. 20.—Notre Dame university would abandon football if it interfered with the school's intellectual pursuits, the Rev. John F. O'Hara. C. S.'C.. acting president of the university, said today in answer to the charges made against Notre Dame and Southern California by Henry S. Pritchett, president emeritus of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. “We believe that Dr. Pritchett has started with a false assumption that highly publicized football is inimical to the intellectual interests of the university,” said Father O'Hara. “We would, drop football if we ever found it to be the case.”

In answering Dr. Pritchett's re--port asking for information about Notre Dame’s advancement of intellectual pursuits, Father O'Hara cited the fact that twenty priests are studying for advanced degrees in six universities, and that during the past decade priest-teachers have studied at famous universities throughout Europe and in the United States. Father O’Hara also ponted out that only 20 per cent of the $4,000,000 increase in the material plant at Notre Dame during the past twelve years is devoted to athletics. Father O’Hara also mentioned the fact that Notre Dame's spiritual work has won international respect, and has been embodied in annual reports for fourteen years. The Carnegie report’s criticism of Notre Dame and Southern California signing a three-year contract to engage in football games drew the following comment from Father O’Hara: “Aside from the fact that Southern California furnishes decidedly worth while competition, we have a large group of alumni on the coast. If our interest in the game were only commercial we could yield to the heavy pressure exerted every BALL STATE HARDWOOD ANTICS PUZZLE COACH By Times Special MUNCIE.
