By Eddie Ash High Jumpers Keep Moving I p the Bar U B B Two Now Have Topped Osborne’s Mark

npEN years ago Harold Osborne jumped and rolled across a bar placed six feet, eight and one-fourth inches above the ground. Gradually it came to be believed that the University of Illinois athlete's record for the running high jump would stand for the ages. But last year New York’s George Spitz added a quarter inch to the mark. And the other night, in New York, Walter Marty, Fresno (Cal.) schoolboy, beat Spitz’s mark by another quarter inch. Osborne was the pioneer of anew style of jumping which became a source of controversy among track men. As he cleared the bar he rolled his body. Ilis form came to be known as the “western roll,'' and it was only after a long debate that his style was sanctioned by officials of the Olympic games in Paris in 1921. B B B B B B SHADES of John L. Sullivan, who wouldn’t walk a block if a cab was handy. Ray C Alvis of Chicago, well-known in Indianapolis as a manager of boxers, has discovered a way to keep his stable of knuckle dusters from starving during the depression that still has a stranglehold on the fistic profession. Alvis managed Chuck Wiggins. Eddie Shea and other prominent fighters when the glove sport was in flower and often brought his maulers to Indianapolis for bouts at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, the Armorv and Tomlinson hall. When confronted with the problem of feeding a flock of healthy pugilists, “with no takers,” Alvis several months ago conceived the idea of supplying walkathon promoters with durable talent in the persons of strong-legged, long-winded lads accustomed to hardships, especially the hardship of going for long stretches without food. The plan worked and Alvis quickly herded his stable of unemployed boxers and took a flyer in the walkathon field himself. He is now conducting a walkathon at Jackson. Miss., and his “field ’ is sprinkled with young fighters shuffling around the floor earning their coffee and cakes. Attendance was 3.000 down there the other night and it is evident Mr. Ray Alvis has succeeded in dieging himself out of an embarrassing situation. He is taking care of his boxers until ring prosperity returns. a tt tt tt k tt WHILE convalescing from a siege of illness during the early part of the 1933 baseball season, Ownie Bush visited some of the Indianapolis city park diamonds and looked over the home-town future greats. He was Cincinnati manager at the time. One of the lads who impressed him was Paul Fields, outfielder with the Y. M. S. amateur nine, and this spring young Fields will be taken south for a trial with the Minneapolis Millers. Bush piloted the Millers to the A. A. championship in 1932 and last December signed to take over the club again, after resigning the post at Cincinnati. The Millers will train at Montgomery. Ala., and Fields will be one of the early birds in camp. He is 21 and bats and throws righthanded. Moreover, the lad is fast and carries sufficient avoirdupois to assure power with the bludgeon. Fields was a leading sticker with the Y. M. S. team and also one of its consistent all-round pastimers. He is the son of Arthur Fields, a member of the Indianapolis polite department, and resides at 25 East Palmer street. The Fields family is baseballminded. Dave, a brother of Paul, was rated one of the outstanding sandlot pitchers of the city a few years ago. U tt tt tt tt tt THE football stove league, like the baseball stove circuit, was going full blast in Indianapolis today. Harry Kipke, head coach of the University of Michigan’s Big Ten champions, was here to address the local Wolverine alumni; Dr. C. W. Spears, head coach of Wisconsin university, was on hand to address the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. ; and George <Potsy> Clark was busy showing off the town to his old j friend. Doc Spears'. Coach Clark, head man of the Portsmouth Spartans, j professionals, coached in the collegiate field after a brilliant career as j quarter back for Illinois university. It is said the Big Ten rule which bars the employment of professional team coaches is the only obstacle j to the signing of Clark by Indiana university. It was reported a few [ days ago that certain Western Conference institutions are willing to j lift this questionable rule, if somebody with courage will start the ball 1 rolling. Many authorities oppose the rule. B B B B B B WHEN Gar Davis and Hendricks Kenworthy, in charge of the roller I polo games at Tomlinson hall, learned that Plez Oliver, regular ! referee, would be unable to officiate last Sunday, due to a leg injury incurred when he was struck by a ball the previous Sunday, they began calling up local men capable of handling the game. Among the first appealed to was A1 Feeney, head of the state safety department. Al, after a brilliant career on the Notre Dame football team, played center on one of the leading pro grid clubs for years. Feeney is a rabid polo fan. When asked to officiate last Sunday, Al replied: “What? You ask me to get out there in that bullpen in the midst of ten huskies, all padded and armed with clubs, and all of them driving that hard ball around with lightning slams. What protection has a polo referee got, anyway? You can’t even hide behind the cage. I’ll stick to football and such sissy sports.” Wallie Middlesworth was next appealed to, but stated j he believed such activities would cause cancellation of his insurance j policies. So Ollie May, a former player and now secretary of the Mid- j western League, had to handle Sunday's game which was marked by ; only one injury, when Ben Danford had several bones in his hand broken i by a hard-hit ball. |

„ ’ 5 ® -**•*— '7 j | -. v -T <• ..iyk '

Tom Angley, rotund catcher with the Indianapolis baseball club the last few years, was traded today in an even up deal with the Rochester Internationals for Joe Sprinz, a former member of the Tribe machine.

During other college games half the seats have been curtained off, with the spectators confined to one side of the big arena. The fieldhouse will seat 13,000. Advance sale of tickets is heavier than for any other game on the Butler home program, officials at the north side university said today. Main floor seats are 80 cents, and balcony space 40 cents. Tickets are on sale at the university and at Spalding's and at the Claypool hotel pharmacy downtown. The game starts at 8:30.

at the Armory last Tuesday when he flattened Casey Berger. The Jewish champ introduced his famous “kangaroo kick” to Indianapolis mat fans in that bout and gave the customers something to talk about. Abe is built on the order of a fire hydrant, standing five feet, two inches tall, yet scaling 200 pounds. He depends upon speed and a powerful pair of legs for defensive measures and uses the “kangaroo kick” as an offense. He is one of a small number of Hebrews in the mat game and he has beaten several nationally known huskies. In his bout next Tuesday against Plummer, the New Yorker will be up against an experienced grappler. Plummer needs no introduction to local wrestling fans. He has demonstrated his ability here on several occasions and succeeded in ending the winning streak of Andy Rascher. Plummer is a “six-footer” and weighs around 230, or thirty pounds more than Coleman. He has been in the south where he has registered triumphs over some of the topnotch artists below the Mason-Dixon line.

Wmm?

The mighty Casey was expected |to arrive tonight or tomorrow He j will be offered the piloting job left j vacant by yesterday's dismissal of Max Carey, who occupied the berth | two seasons. Only one factor may prevent I Casey from grabbing the offer. That : is salary, Casey is understood to be i receiving about $6,000 a year as j coach. The Dodgers are economiz- | ing this season, and they face a | dead loss of $12,500 in the 1934 salary which they have guaranteed to pay Carey, although no longer with the club. If the Dodgers’ directors try to get the mighty Casey for less than SIO,OOO. Mr. Stengel may turn down the offer—out of loyalty to Carey, Stengel, who is a very shrewd chap, despite his clowning, may figure a couple of extra thousand would not be worth the worry and the chance of having his reputation sullied a3 pilot of the eccentric Dodgers. Moreover, rumors th* t the Dodgers might be sold shortly to a syndicate headed by Colonel Tillinghast Huston, former co-owner of the New York Yankees, might make him hesitate. If Huston took over the Dodgers, he would be certain to bring back to Brooklyn old Uncle Wilbert Robinson, who managed the club seventeen years. Should Casey refuse, Marty McManus, last season’s manager of the Boston Red Sox under Quinn, who then owned them, may be offered the portfolio. The Dodgers recently signed McManus, intending to give him a try for the infield. In addition, Glenn Wright, former Dodger shortstop and field captain, who was released last week, might get the bid. Burleigh Grimes and Zach Wheat also have been mentioned.

CAREY ASSAILS PRESS By United Press MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 22.—Max Carey believes his dismissal as manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers should go down in baseball history as “something or other.” “In fact it may establish a precedent,” said Max hotly. “It's the first time in baseball history that a manager has been fired for failing to win games during the winter.” Carey attributed his removal “certain newspapers” which “have been riding me for quite a spell.” He thought he might investigate the possibilities of suing the papers. “I can think of no other reason for this over-the-winter change of heart on the part of the Brooklyn officials,” he continued. “They had confidence enough in me last August to give me anew contract. And now they don’t think enough of me to let me run the club.”
