By Eddie Ash Babe Looks for Hot Race in American MB* Says Yank Chances Rests With Youths

T)ARE! RUTH sizes up the 1934 American League race as close and thinks the young players hold the answer to the chances of his New York Yankees. In an interview the other day he said: “I think that WashingtonJs going to find it tough trying to repeat and that the Athletics, if they get any kind of pitching from that young staff of Mack's, will cause lots of trouble. The Red Sox have a long way to go before they can be considered pennant contenders. “\Ve can win the pennant if the young fellows come through. Ruffing and Gomez figure to pitch better than they did last year. Washington had a little better balance than we did last season, and got a little better pitching. “The young fellows hold the answer to our chances, he concluded, adding: “Rut don’t forget that an old papp\ named G. 11. Ruth will be in there, cutting and slashing as long as the old legs stand up." bob aan IT develops that Jimmy Foxx had the incorrect figures when he said Frank Higgins was paid only S3 000 by the Philadlphia Athletics last year. The star youngster drew down $4,500 and is asking $6,000 for 1934 It is said the Mackmen will be ready to sell Foxx to the Boston Red Sox in the fall if the club falls below 500.000 home attendance. The club continues to be in a bad fix financially, according to close followers of the game. Jimmy the slugger doubtless will bring $150,000 on the auction block if he has another big year. Latest information sa>s he signed for $20,000. instead of SIB,OOO, as announced the other day. With Foxx on the club, the Athletics still will command respect. He is the top h.;ter of the American League and a thorn to a pitcher every time he goes to the plate. a a a nan The first exhibition game in the Florida Grapefruit League was staged last Fridav and drew two thousand cash customers. It was between the Giants and Athletics at Miami and the attendance encouraged the club owners. The Brooklyn Dodgers received poor support in Miami last spring. 808 B B B Red Ruffing, New York pitcher, who went Broadway last year and fell off in form, is striving for anew start. He weighs 204, whereas at this time in 1933, he weighed 238. „bb b b b Jack Kroner, former Indianapolis infielder, is trying out with the Philadelphia Nationals who picked him up as a free agent. Kroner is one of the Mound City's crack table tennis players. B B B B B Sam Barry, coach of the Southern California university basketball team, has taught his guards to bark like sea lions to nettle opponents. The scheme also gives the crowd an added show. bob b ts tt IT is said there was danger of a flood in central Indiana Saturday afternoon and that workmen were standing by with sacks of sand to be ready for the emergency. The Plainfield basketball team was the cause of the flood warning to go out. Thousands of Technical of Indianapolis cage followers were on the verge of shedding a flood of tears when Plainfield almost scalped the Big Green boys. However. Tech finally won its regional and everything is lovely now, until action is resumed Friday and Saturday in Indianapolis. Indianapolis never has won the state high school net title and it’s up to the entire city to go j out to the Butler fieldhouse and get behind Tech and root, shriek and pray In the event Tech goes down to the final game, and looks like the j winner we think we will remove ourself out of the fieldhouse and down j a side road a few minutes before the game ends. We don t relish being J stepped on. The state’s slicker basketball bettors have established Logansport as the money favorite. The Loganberries had their field outclassed in the sectional and regional and were not compelled to suffer physical, mental and nervous exhaustion. B B B B B B Johnny Follows, brilliant New York A. C. two-mile runner, spent last summer pulling rickshaws at the Chicago world's fair. He says it helped , his legs. B B B BBS Lefty Bob Grove, one of baseball's best pitchers, seldom knows the exact score of a game in which he is working. He merely wants to know , if his team is ahead or behind. Concentrating on the batters is his aim. Just another baseball superstition. When Lefty was sold by the Athletics to the Red Sox he couldn't recall the name of the Boston manager. B B B B B Every year that finds no one beating sir Malcom Campbell's straightaway auto speed record of 272 miles an hour means a thousand pound honorarium for the Britisher. Sir Charles Wakefield established a fund in 1928 to be paid on a monthly basis to the holder of the record.

Women and Men Shine in Late Season Bowling Play

BY PAI L STRIEBECK (Pinch Hitting for Lefty I-ee) Looking over the scores of last week, we found the women as well as the men producing some real totals. Scoring as a whole was much better than the preceding week in local league play. Bob Hughes took the high honors of the week with a 748. This is one of the best series that has been shot this year. Bob been in there for many a good count, but the lack of practice is one of the reasons you have not heard from him more often. Here of late he has been getting in that.well-known drill and everybody knows the result. Les Knelling has been shooting some wonderful sessions lately. Last week for four different houses his combined average was 220. For the last thirty-nine games he fired an av”age of 211 in league play, and that is what you can call very good. Last week he produced a 707. Bob Darnahy came through in the Avalon League last Friday night when he let loose for a 716. Bob said: ‘ Well. I am finally getting in form when the season is just about over. Next season I am going to start at the first and give all you boys a run for the money.” In the past few weeks the women have been stepping right up and getting their share of the glory. Last Tuesday night, in the Rose Tire Ladies' Social League at the Antler alleys. Helen Kritsch took the spotlight with a 609. This was the third best total of the current season. Helen has been in there for quite some time, but this is the first time you really have heard from her. Mary MacKinnon, one of the city's best bowlers, fired the high total of the year for league play at the Pritchett drives in the Block Optical Ladies' League with a 628 Mary has been shooting her 500 totais often, but last week broke loose with that old high score. For the team exent Mic-Lts-McCahill acam came to the front with a 3.091 arc" this was the best that could be produced bv any team last week The two teal's ths - journeyed to Shelbyviue las, Saturday nigh- found the going tough in one"of the exerts The Fox s Jail House • Quad found t: hard to knock the old pins down and as a result lost their match fcv a score of 2 663 to 2 634. a total of twenty-nine pins The two !ead-ofT men of 'his match staged a real battle.

INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY, MARCH 12, 1934

16 Net Teams Tune Up for Title Finals Here Upsets Are at High Mark as Dopesters Scan Results; First Appearance for Nine Quintets; Only Three 1933 Contenders Return to Fieldhouse. The twenty-fourth Indiana High School Athletic Association state basketball competition will be resumed next Friday and Saturday in Butler university fieldhouse when the fifteen final games will determine the 1934 champion from a field of sixteen remaining teams, most of them darkhorse candidates. In a thrilling two weeks of eliminations the field has been narrowed from 773 contenders on March 1 to the sixteen regional champions that remain in the running. Never in the history of the I. H. S. A. A. have so many upset victors made the final trek to Indianapolis. Accurately speaking, only three of the teams that appeared in the fieldhouse in 1933 were able to repeat their last year sectional and regional tournament conquests and win their way to Indianapolis where the gigantic throng of frenzied basketball fans annually congregate to see the Hoosier hardwood king crowned. They are Logansport, Greencastle and the little hamlet, Beaver Dam, where only sixty students attend the high school.

He expected to join in the first workout of the Yankee's entire squad.

- Nine teams that will be here this week-end are making their first appearance in Indianapolis since the tournament finals games began here in 1921. They are Princeton, Hartford City, Jeffersonville, Wabash, Brazil, North Judson, Batesville, Hammond and Jasper. Many Strangers Although Technical of Indianapolis is not anew face, having been runner-up in 1929 and a second round loser in 1931, and Lebanon made an appearance here in 1932, the other two teams are almost as much strangers as the nine who have never been here. It was back in 1923 and ’24 when Morton of Richmond last played in the finals here. North Vernon made its only appearance in the Hoosier metropolis in 1926. Logansport w'as the only team that really breezed through their regional clashes Saturday. Coach Clifford Wells’ five, conceded to have more than an even chance to win the championship shield this week-end, galloped through Brookston and Camden. Close Call for Tech Tech had the scare of its life at Anderson. Plainfield was out in front of the Capital city five most of the way and tossed away chances to tie or win the game in the last minute. The Quakers finally went down to defeat by a one-point margin, 19-18.. Past that afternoon scare the Tech team came back and walloped Anderson at night, 20-13 to win the regional. Ligonier dropped Angola out of the race with a 23-22 afternoon veridet, but saw a free throw in the last five seconds find the net and give Beaver Dam a similar margin over them in the night struggle, 34After dropping Shelbyville from the race 30-27, North Vernon refused to be stopped and went overtime at night to nose out Franklin, 29-25. Blue Saves Greencastle Princeton gained a two-point win over Dale, 21-19, and Greencastle was forced to show a lot of latent power to down both New Richmond and Pine Village. Hartford City, in breezing through Ossian and Huntington, labels itself as more of a threat for the title every minute. Lebanon nosed out West Lafayette in the afternoon struggle, 35- and then upset Frankfort, 26-22. in the night session. Brazil Comes Through In a thrilling scoring bee Brazil outdistanced Bloomington by the scant margin of two points, 35-33, and then took Linton easily. Batesville, after an easy win over Guilford, had too much power for a tired Rushville team that had been extended to defeat Connersville 32-26. Batesville galloped home a winner at night, 35-34. What it took to lick Kokomo, 2321, in the afternoon, Tipton lacked against Wabash at night and the Apaches won, 28-17. Newcastle Wins and Loses In one of the greatest defensive battles seen in Hoosier basketball in years, Muncie and Newcastle battled to a 9-9 regulation game verdict, but Newcastle, who held a 4 0 lead at half time, held Muncie scoreless in the overtime and scored five points itself to win 14-9. Undoubtedly the strain cost Newcastle, and Richmond took the 1932 state champs at night, 18-12. North Judson edged out a 30-29 overtime win over Nappanee and Hammond went overtime to nose out Valparaiso, 19-17. When Vincennes went three overtimes to edge out Washington, 2524, in the afternoon, the Alices undoubtedly taxed themselves and Jasper had too much for them at night, winning, 27-26. FOUR GIANTS RELEASED United Press FT. MYERS. Fla., March 12.—Coincident with the arrival of the New York Giants to play the Philadelphia Athletics today Manager Bill Terry announced the Giants had released four men to Nashville of the Southern League. They are Chick Cuccinello, second baseman; Andy Joyner, outfielder, and John Leonardo and Harlan McClendon, righthanded pitchers. The Giants made it two wins to one defeat in the five-game series yesterday by walloping the A.'s, 10 to 2. despite Jimmy Foxx's season debut with the Mackmen. He got a single and a pass. WHITE SOX VICTORS By United Press LOS ANGELES. March 12.—The Chicago White Sox pounded out twenty hits to win their first exhibition game of the season from Los Angeles yesterday. 13 to 8. before 5.000 fans at Wriglev field. The Angels” collected thirteen hits off Galivan and Wyatt, Chicago rookies, but failed to bunch them as effectively as Sox batsmen. Luke Appling. Chicago shortstop, led his team's attack with five hits in six tries. BILLY HERMAN ON DECK By United Press AVALON. Catalina Island. March 12.—Charley Grimm, boss of the Chicago Cubs, had no more holdouts worries today, with the arrival of Billy Herman, the lone remaining recalcitrant. The Yannigans ran rough-shod over the regulars in a practice tilt yesterday, winning 10 to 1 in six innings.
