GIANTS SHOVE OFF FOR MIAMI TRAINING GROUNDS

President Heydler Is Restless for April 17 Clubs Are Evenly Balanced This Year, National League President Tells United Press; Will Make No Predictions on Giants’ Chances. BY JACK CUDDY United Prm Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Ff b. 23—The first group of New York Giants migrated today to the Miami training grounds, inaugurating one of the most interesting experiments in baseball. No le authority than Professor John Heydler, venerable prexy of the National League, is agog. He has dug out of the snowdrifts down at Garden City and is assembling his microscope for a closeup study of the Giants. Hire Is a club which was swept to a National League pennant and a world championship in 1933 on a wave of brilliant pitching and airtight fielding. Standing pat on his 1933 lineup, Manager Bill Terry will try to repeat for both honor., this season, despite the adoption of the uniform “live” ball and despite momentous managerial and personal changes that have affected the complexion of the entire circuit.

White Sox on Way to Camp By Vnitr/i Prrss CHICAGO. Feb. 23—The first squad of Chicago White Sox was en route to the Pasadena (Cal.) training camp today to hold the first workout of any major league club Monday. The three athletes who left Chicago with Vice-President Harry Grabiner were catcher John Pasek, formerly of Detroit; pitcher John Huck and outfielder Milt Bocek. Fifteen other players who are to go direct from their homes are scheduled to meet manager Lew Fonseca for the opening workout. Twenty-six of the thirty-one players on the White Sox roster have signed. Among the unsigned players are Mule Haas, who already is in camp, and Luke Appling, who is expected to bring his signed contract to camp with him, as he did last year. The second squad of White Sox will leave from Chicago with President J. Louis Comiskey next Thursday night. Three Bouts on Hall Bill Three bouts, with two main Events, were scheduled for the weekly wrestling card presented by promoter Jimmy McLemore in Tomlinson hall tonight. The headline attraction will be the meeting of Cecil (Blacksmith) Pedigo and Shanghai Jack Parker In the final bout. They are middleweights. Parker formerly held a title in the navy, and Pedigo, a Kentuckian, is well known here, having appeared several times in the Tomlinson hall mat ring. The other feature bout will bring together Ray (Tufly) Meyers, who has wrestled several times here this winter, and Bunny Clifford of Memphis in a welterweight scrap. Clifford is known as one of the Cleanest pro wrestlers in the ring— Meyers enjoys no such reputation. The supporting bout will match jHugh Webb and George Speece. feud Westfall will referee the card.

Abbott Spills 694 Pins and Emerson Theater Takes Two

Dan Abbott displayed some real pin-spilling in the Little Flower League at the Delaware alleys last night. He had games of 238, 235 and 221 for 694 to give the Emerson Theater the odd battle over Moorman Coal. No other teams rolled. In the Polar Ice League at the Deleware alleys two-out-o-three verdicts were scored in favor of Fuel and lee from Iron Fireman and Refrigerators. Buhring was high with 639. Bob Haagsma uncorked a 669 in the Automotive League at the Illinois alleys for the Illinois Alley Five but thpy could take but one game from C. H. Wallerich Cos. because Brown, with 645, had his boys in there pitching just a little better. Citizen Packard had Batchelder with 609. but could not stop Eagle Machine Company and the latter took the entire set. National Refining had Kehl with 613 to send his team. Point Service Station, in for a three-game victory. Citizen Studcbaker. Inland Battery C. and Capitol Ice Cos. took a twin bill from Sinclair Refining, Gibson Cos. and Auto Equipment. Miller also had a 618 total for Citizen studebaker. Scoring of the Elks League at the Antler Silers was war below par in last m*ht s ression LnFendncn Cigar had Millington with 603 to put his team across for a three-game count over Pritchett No. 1, while Heider.reich Flowers were defeated bv the same margin Green aided the Louis Tavern team to a double win from Cook s Go'.dblume with the league-leading total of 60S Bailer s Insurance also took e pair from Mobilgas.

“I’ve been connected with baseball for forty years,” President Heydler told the United Press last night. “But I’ve never waited for the opening of a season with the same impatience as this time. I’ll be so restless between now and April 17 that my friends will think I'm wearing a hair shirt. What a season our league will have this year!” Makes No Predictions What did Mr. Heydler think of the Giants’ chances. Well—in the first place, he was not in a position to make any public predictions, and in the second place he was unable to arrive at any conclusions for his own private use. “We’ll just have to sit back and watch,” he explained. “We might have a fair line on the race by July 4. I wouldn’t bet on that though. I’ve never seen the clubs apparently so evenly balanced before. “There are more player-managers in the league than ever before. That may have a bearing on the campaign. No one knows what, if any, effect the uniform ball will have on teams like the Giants. The socalled ’live’ American League ball didn’t seem to bother them in the last world series with Washington. Perhaps those were exceptional games. Reds May Come Up “Cincinnati may start moving right along, now that Crosley and his men have taken over the Reds. That may make a big difference in the won and lost column of some of the clubs.” Other observers have pointed out that the Giants have shifted from their Las Angeles training camp to Miami this season. John McGraw took his team from Sarasota, Fla., to California for the 1932 season and they trained on the Pacific coast in 1933 also. Brooklyn trained at Miami last year, but Dodger officials claimed it was too warm down there to bring athletes to peak condition. Accordingly the Dodgers shifted to more northerly Orlando, Flo., this season. New York writers and fans are wondering how the Giants will fare after a stretch at Miami. GARY HEAVY WINS MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 23.—Buck Everett, Gary (Ind.) heavyweight, took a technical knockout decision over Cowboy Frankie Edgren of Cheyenne, Wyo., when a physician advised the refree to stop their bout in the sixth of the scheduled ten rounds last night.

In team play Electronics and Schwenzer Case were victims of a Sh n t 2.V t by "ash-Rite Laundry and Worrell Cleaners. All remaining contests were decided vith the odd game going to Farm Bureau. Sterling Printing Company. Hoosier Pete and Garrick Theater from Acme Morion Coal, Roberts Milk, Beech and Arthur and Dr. Chambers. Hewes was individual leader with 599. In the St. Catherine League at the Fountain Square alleys Lauck Funeral Home was the only team to issue blanks This was to Trefys Inn. .Those who were able to grab two games were Wizard Ma<f,°" Web6r Mi !* Co - and Thoman Shoe Store over Tmele Shirt Maker. Fountain Square Furniture Cos. and t c te r Coal Cos. Tim league leader was H. Thiele with 593. Danna with 629 led the Cokes to a doub.e win from Holders in the Citizens Gas No. i League at the Fountain Square alleys. Screens secured a three-to-nothing senes from Sulphates while Tars No. 5 and Rulers No. 4 annexed a two-game decision from Gas and Ammonias No. 2 A scoring spree developed in the Universal League at Pritchett's in last night's session. Polks Milk Cos., had M. Pohl with 642 to put his team over to an odd game win from Dutch Masters Cigars. A thrilling contest developed between Mania Case and Daub Brothers Tailors five. The former had Prochaska and Barrett with 616 and 663. but the latter had Bissesi with 661 and a much better support to take the odd game Hughes and Sohakel with 640 and 631 was enough for the Berkte's lunch to secure a pair from Blue Point Service Station. Bittrich Meats and Budweiser Beer won a couole from Gulf Refining Cos., and Gem Coal in the other sets O'Gara had 604 Barkeepers Friend had no opponents. Pete Clements shot a nice total of 672

WHEN the Chicago Northwesterns invade the local Armory Sunday afternoon to meet the Kautsky A.

O// THE R— — 9 A R L/By CARLOS LANE

Today’s the day. Unseeing fingers will grope in the hat in Mr. Arthur L. Trester’s I. H. S. A. A. offices in the Circle Tower and draw therefrom the pairings in the sectional, regional and state high school tournaments next month. While the lads from the press look on, the little slips will be drawn this afternoon and be deposited in Mr. Trester’s safe until 9 tomorrow morning, when they will be released for the public.

These drawings usually are important factors in determining tournament winners, and the pairings in the local sectional meet next week probably will have some bearing on the state title. It is possible for a mediocre team to slide through an easy bracket and in the finals meet and conquer a superior quintet that has hard sledding all the way. Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out like that here. The ideal drawing would, in Backboard’s opinion, fix things so that Tech and Shortridge would meet in the finals a week from tomorrow night. Cathedral wound up its regular campaign last night in Joliet, 111., falling before the basket attack of De La Salle high school there, 31 to 21. The Irish will come back and rest for a week before resuming practice for defense of their national Catholic high school title in Chicago in March. tt a a JIM ITCH, the hardwood expert on the Columbus (Ind.) Republican, has doped things out so —he says—Muncie can’t lose the tournament. It’s a long shot, but long shots pay the biggest prices. When, and if they come through. Backboard doubts whether Pete Jolly’s men can win their own sectional. And if they succeed there, if they can take the regional meet. A six-game program winds up the regular campaign for local high schools. Tonight Tech closes at Kokomo, Washington finishes at Brownsburg, Manual plays St. Paul, and Broad Ripple signs off at Noblesville. Tomorrow night Shortridge locks up on Delphi, and Manual bids the season adios with New Bethel in the Redskins’ gym. a a a THE ol’ spirit is there in Southport. The lads from the southern part of the county, fresh from a great football season, are backing a powerful basketball team to the limit. So you can’t blame li’l Romeo for parking two of the Cards on an all-city team, now can you? Dear Backboard—ln three weeks we’ll be finding out who this state champ is. I’ll say it will be one of the Big Sixteen I picked. Here they are, in order: Tech, Newcastle, Rushviile, Logansport, Southport. Franklin. Anderson. Shortridge, Martinsville. Bosse (Evansville), Connersville: Brazil: Bloomington, Hartford City, Jeff of Lafayette, Yorktown.

THE TNDIANAPOEIS TIMES

Bus Smith

the admiration of his coach, Dutch Lonberg. who rated him one of the most dependable and steadiest back guards he ever had taught. The tip-off is scheduled for 3 p. m. Sunday with a curtain raiser at 2 p. m. between the Indianapolis Flashes and English Avenue Boys Club.

You may say that I picked Southport because I hail from there, but that’s not it. The reason that I chose Southport is that I know the brand of basketball they play and I know also they are going to show the city teams a real sectional when the time comes. Coach Scott says that when the sectional is over the fans and opposing players will know it has been a real one. Dorothy of Tech asked why someone from Southport didn’t pick an all-city team. Well, here they are, with two county lads, Schaefer, Southport, and Berns, Shortridge, fcrw'ards; Townsend, Tech, center; Goins, Southport, and Johnny O'Connor, Cathedral, guards. The reason that I picked the two Southport lads is that they can work together better than any two I have seen this year. ROMEO OF SOUTHPORT. tt tt tt MY apologies, Eleanor ’twas Backboard I thought you were aiming at. Such is the grief that comes to the sensitive soul of a sports writer: Backboard—No, I don’t intend to make a pest of myself writing to you every few days, but we’ve got to get together and understand each other. You very much misinterpreted my well meaning letter. I certainly would be the last one to accuse you of passing up Tech. I do not read the column just now and then but follow it constantly. I know that you have taken up the cause of the Green and White. My reference to “writers’ cramp” did not mean you in any way. There are more than six thousand students at the east side school—well, let’s hear from them as we used to in the good old days. Now that you understand me, I hope you can make it clear to the Tech fans that I wasn’t talking through my hat. ELEANOR (FORMERLY) OF TECH. tt tt tt NOW we have Ben Davis surrounded, and that ought to care for the westerners. A pair of hardwood fans from Plainfield are pushing ’em from the west, and the Ben Davis boys have plenty of competition around the city. Dear Backboard—As it is nearing the time when your coldmn must be discontinued and all basketball fans like to have their respective teams mentioned in the sport column, we would appreciate it very much if you would give Bill Buggs’ Quakers a corner in your daily piece. We believe that we have a team here

Cue Finals On Tonight Welker Cochran Defends His Crown Against Layton. By United Press NEW YORK. Feb. 23.—Welker Cochran defends his title tonight against Johnny Layton, who is striving for his eleventh crown, in the final of the world's three-cush-ion billiard championship. They are tied for first place with eight victories and two defeats each. It will be the last regulation match in the twelve-man tourney that stretched over nineteen days. Two play-off matches are scheduled for tomorrow, to determine winners of second and fourth money. Allen Hall, who has eight wins and three losses, will meet the loser of the Cochran-Layton game, for second position, and Willie Hoppe and Jay Bozeman will fight it out for fourth place. Hoppe rose into a tie with Bozeman last night when he beat the young Califoman, 50 to 42, in sixtytwo innings. This gave each seven victories and four defeats. U. S. CAGERS WIN MONTERREY, Mex., Feb. 23.—A Wichita <Kan.) basketball team last night defeated the Monterrey Circulo quintet 38 to 27.

that deserves honorable mention. Here's one reason: Occasionally it has been suggested that Ben Davis might give Tech some worry about sectional time. Plainfield beat Ben Davis, there, 28 to 23, and earlier Plainfield won from Washington of Indianapolis, 43 to 10. Comparative scores suggest that our team has possibilities, don’t you think? Taking nothing for granted and with all respect for the ability of other good teams in this sectional, we are reasonably sure that you can see us at Anderson March 10, where the best team will have to be good. We enjoy your column very much, and hope to see this letter there. THE BACKBOARD BOOSTERS, CURLY AND SNOWBALL FROM PLAINFILD. tt tt tt REMEMBER little Beaver Dam, from northern Indiana, the team that came down from the Angola sectional last year? Well, here's a lad who picks ’em to repeat. Beaver Dam—just a township high school where two country roads cross—turned out a tough quintet last winter, and they’ve been going good, but scarcely good enough, Backboard thinks, this season. Dear Carl—Here is some straight dope on the state tourney. Beaver Dam, Franklin, Bosse of Evansville, Marion, Mancie, Rochester, Rushviile, Washington, Jeff of Lafayette, Hartford City, Jeffersonville, Brazil, Logansport, Froebel and Tech are the sixteen team* who will thresh it out for the highest athletic honors of the state hardwood. What do you think of them. Backboard? In my opinion the state championship will be decided, not in Butler fieldhouse, but in the Anderson wigwam. You probably are thinking “but what about Logansport?” Well, Tech will answer that question, if Young America doesn't beat them to it. Anderson, don’t forget Alexandria Is always tough in the tourney, and that goes for a green and White combination also in accordance with their sectional rivals. Backboard, what do you think of the idea of Tech giving Shortridge the sectional—providing Southport, Ben Davis, and I must add. Beech Grove are willing? You know we’re already beaten on that three game stuff in the minds of S. H. S., but—oh. well, they’ll learn. WALLY OF TECH. I. U. ENGAGES ILLINI By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Feb. 23. With the basketbo.il season fast fading away and only four games remaining, Indiana university’s netmen will attempt to get above the .500 mark with a victory over Illinois here tomorrow night. The Illini defeated Indiana at Champaign by a 28-25 margin, Feb. 10, and put an end to the growing hopes of the Hoosiers that they might get a share of the top place. It was after this defeat that Coach Everett Dean resolved to try out some new combinations in actual game fire, and the lineup for the second game with Illinois is doubtful.

Harry Kipke, Michigan Coach, Speaks Before Alumni Here

Harry Kipke, Michigan football coach, was in town last night and those who heard him address a large group of alumni, friends and local high school gridmen in the Columbia Club are more aware today why Michigan wins on the gridiron. Introduced as Michigan’s hero today, a great nine letter athlete himself who climaxed his career at the Wolverine school with a home run with the bases full in the spring of 1923, Kipke at once discounted himself by insisting there was only one man on base when he hit the horsehide out of the park, and

Michigan was leading 6-0 at the time. The brown suit Kipke wears at every fall football game, and which he claims shares responsibility with Ducky Simeral’s rabbit foot for the winning of ail the games the past few years, was much in need in Florida. “Some of those nags are still coming in,” he said. Speaking to the 125 local high school boys who came to see the several reels of motion pictures of Michigan games in 1933, Kipke said success in college meant preparing for it from the very entry into high school.
