By Eddie Ash Klein’s Position Has Bruins Guessing m m m Manager Grimm Faces Outfield Puzzle

'T'fflE main baseball argument during the early days of 1934 big league spring training in Florida centered in the salary controversy between Connie Mack and Jimmy Foxx. The slugging Foxx had threatened to become a permanent holdout, and he had the public on his side, but the big fellow eventually became satisfied when Manager Mack of the Athletic boosted the ante. In California it’s a different story. The argument hinges on what position the home run walloper, Chuck Klein of Indianapolis, is going to play with the Chicago Cubs. lie said he preferred right or left, but one story says Chief Charlie Grimm plans to use Chuck in center. It is a fact well-known in Indianapolis that Klein may be perturbed if he is assigned definitely to the middle garden. Hoosier fans are sure Charlie Grimm would be making a wise move by playing Klein in left, or right, Cuyler in center and with Babe Herman, Riggs Stephenson or Tut Stainback in the other position. Local baseball sharps think Herman has seen his best days and predict that when the regular campaign gets under way the Bruin outfield will see Klein at his favorite position, right field, with Cuyler in center and Stephenson or Stainback in left. a a a a a a MANAGER GRIMMS early arrangement calling for Klein in center was discussed in this column some time ago before the Cub pastimers were called to their California training base and it wars intimated then that the leading hitter of the National League looked with disapproval on the contemplated change in his fielding station. His big league career has been spent chiefly in the right pasture, and there always is that danger in baseball that a switch in position might affect a player's mental attitude and bring about a slump in batting. The Cubs paid a fortune for Klein, and Grimm will be taking a long chance If he puts the Hoosier in center. One dispatch out of California yesterday said Klein was destined for center and another story said he was destined for left. The raging controversy makes interesting reading for Cub followers in Chicago. Another angle to the puzzle confronting Manager Grimm was a dispatch received today indicating his opening exhibition game outfield would line up with Klein in left, Stainback in center and Cuyler in right. And so it goes. a a a a a a JIMMY GOODMAN is giving promise as a future great in the glove sport. He is an Indianapolis lad fighting in the junior welter and welter ranks. Nick Sladfeldt, a veteran in local ring lore, took over the management of Goodman several weeks ago and already has improved the boy’s punching skill. In a bout at Louisville Monday night Goodman was called to substitute for Emory Helms of Covington. Ky.. against Bad Boy Harper of Louisville. A strange thing happened Jimmy, the substitute, won the fight, a ten-rounder, and won it in decisive fashion by smacking his foe with hard blows to the midriff. Louisville wants Goodman to return in two weeks for another scrap and Dayton <O.) promoters have signed him to meet Kid Wright there on April 6 over the ten-round distance. Evidently Nick Stadfeldt is a good teacher and it's possible that his protege will develop into a drawing card. Nick said today he w'ants Jimmy to take on a few more pounds and battle as a legitimate welterweight at about 145. Official poundage is 147. a a a a a a DEAR MR. ASH—I read your column yesterday and desire to give my opinion on starting time of games at Perry stadium this year as well as an opinion on the number of night games. I believe that all day games should start not later than 3 p. m. A game usually lasts around two hours, and by the time a fan reaches home and is ready for dinner it is around 6 o’clock. After an afternoon at a. ball game I think meet fans are ready to eat by, that hour. Then there is the possibility of an extra-inning game, and I don’t think a later start than 3 is practical. Although I do not enjoy a night game as much as one played during the afternoon, these are many fans who work during the day and can not get out only at night. I believe two night games each week would take care of such fans. B. L. SMITH. Indianapolis.

Jim Londos Keeps Title With Win Over Slagel Four Thousand Fans Pack Armory to Watch Heavyweight Wrestling Championship Bout; Greek Takes Two Straight Falls. BY CARLOS LANE Jim Londos, Hellenic Adonis of modern wrestling, retained his N. W. A. world's heavyweight championship today after meeting the challenge of Sol Slagel of Topeka. Kan., with a victory in two falls in the Armory last night. Almost four thousand fans squeezed into the national guard arena, and several hundred others were turned back at the doors after all seating space and standing room had been filled Among the ringside spectators were Governor and Mrs. Paul V. McNutt and a party of friends.

Londos threw Slagel for the first fall with a back slam in thirty-eight minutes. The Kansan, injured in the tumble, failed to snap out of it in the rest period and had to be assisted back into the ring. Londos ended the title bout with an airplane spin thirty seconds later. Londos Smaller Man The Greek champion entered the ropes twenty-five pounds lighter and a mite shorter than the former Kansas university grid star, but turned the size difference into an advantage as he out-maneuvered the giant Slagel. Londos weighed 205, Slagel 230. The Topeka terror annoyed Londos in the early minutes of their tussle with a wristlock, which he repeated twice. He renewed his attack with several leg spreads and toeholds, but the agile champ squirmed from each of them and. in turn, harried Slagel with headlocks, toe grips, and head and body scissors. Sol Slips Holds Slagel. the human fishworm in the heavyweight grappling circuit, baffled the champ several times as he utilized his ability as a contortionist to slip from Londos' holds. The first fall came as Slagel rushed Londos into a neutral corner and the champ flipped him backwards as the Kansas man pinned the Greek from behind. Slagel lay unconscious on the ring floor for several minutes after referee Heze Clark raised Londos’ hand, but a physician pronounced him fit to continue as the rest period expired. Speer, Marvin Win He staggered to the ringside, and seconds helped him through the roper.. He rushed Londos, was spun to tne canvas, rose, and fell against the champ, who raised him in a whirl and crashed him on the floor. In a semifinal bout Frank Speer, former Georgia Tech football star, threw Dick Parker, of New York, in twenty minutes with a back slam after Parker had all but knocked him out with a series of flying tackles. Tom (The Bad Wolf) Marvin, of Oklahoma, tossed* Dick Lever, of Texas, in twenty-eight minutes with a chinlock, after he had worn Lever out with body slams.
