By Eddie Ash Watch Kansas City Blues, A. A. Hears mam Peck Rebuilds and Kaws Look Stout

'piE word is being passed around the American Association to watch the Kansas City Blues this year. The Kaws wound up in last place in 1933, but there have been changes made from top to bottom in K. C. over winter. Control of the club shifted to other hands and Johnny Kling, the old Chicago Cubs’ catcher, is in the prexy’s seat. Roger Peckinpaugh, former Cleveland pilot and for many years one of the ace shortstops of baseball, is handling the managerial reins. Moreover, the Blues have made close connections with the Boston Red Sox and other connections that are expected to benefit the Peckinpaugh machine. Five players were obtained from Boston, namely, pitchers Curtis Fullerton and Justin McLaughlin, outfielders Mel Alamada and George Stumps, and Urban Pickering, third baseman. Pitcher Wiley Moore was donated by the New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs contributed outfielders Mike Kreevich and Jim Mosolf, the last-named .an idol in Kawtown. Glenn Wright, veteran shortstop, formerly of Pittsburgh and Brooklyn, who was signed as a free agent, is another former K. C. diamond hero. nan nan FOR second base the Blues landed Walter Gautreau from Montreal, an experienced double A pastimer. John Monroe, formerly of Portland, of the Coast League, also is a candidate for the keystone sack. Broadus Connatser is slated to hold down first base again. Outfielders, in addition to Alamada, Kreevich and Mosolf, are Stanley Schino, and Roy Hudson. The catchers are Bill Brenzel and Alex Gaston, veterans, and a group of rookie backstops. At this stage it looks like the Blues weakness will behind the bat. Pitchers Slim Harris, Joe Blackwell, Fred Browning, Mace Brown. Harold Carson and John Niggeling are on hand to assist Fullerton, McLaughlin and Moore. Candidates from the sane.lots are being given trials and a phenom or two may be uncovered, bus discounting the raw rookies, the crew lined up by Prexy Khng and Chie Peckinpaugh bears all of the earmarks of a stout, hard-swinging ball club. The Blues won't finish eighth again with that outfit under contract. aaa a a a IN the old days the boxers went in for the rough stuff the same as the wrestlers. Veteran Indianapolis ringsiders will recall Packey McFarland, one of the best boxers in the land twenty years ago. He fought Ray Bronson of Indianapolis in a daytime bout at old Washington park once and Bronson was unable to lay a glove on the Illinois Irishman. In a bout at Boston, Dave Deshler, a Massachusetts idol, was awarded a twelve-round draw with McFarland. When Packey heard the decision he promptly swung and flattened Jack Sheehan, the home town referee. A free-for-all followed. Packey fought as a lightweight, welterweight and middleweight. Today he weighs far over the 200-pound mark. ana ana Boosters of Orlando. Fla., gave a dinner the other day in honor of the Brooklyn Dodgers. It’s the Brooklyn training camp. When Manager Stengel arose to speak, he put the place in an uproar by winding up his talk with the following: “And boy, you just can’t beat this California weather for training a ball club.” ana ana Three big league teams are listening to offers to go out of the United States for spring training next year. The New York Giants have been invited to Panama, the Cincinnati Reds to Cuba and the Washington Senators to Puerto Rico. aaa a a a The athletic committee of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce is ready to formulate booster plans for the opening of the baseball season here April 24. The Indians will play at Toledo and Columbus before lifting the lid at Perry stadium. Robert H. Sturm, chairman of the C. of C. athletic committee, has called a meeting at the Columbia Club tomorrow at 12:15 p. m. a a a ** ** ® . Thcre is a letter at The Times sports desk for Max Smith, boxer. Falcaro Ends Bowling Stay With Marvelous Exhibition

BY PAUL STRIEBECK (Pinch Hitting for Lettv Lee) Joe Falcaro, world’s match game championship claimant, displayed some of his old form at the Uptown alleys yesterday afternoon. The little New Yorker started with a brilliant total of 720, on games of 232.; 235 and 253, and this series found his first opponent, Stubby Mathews, bowling in defeat. Mathews rolled 169. 199 and 202 for 580. The second in this series of matches had Falcaro flashing a C 44 count to down Judson Forsyth. Falcaro had 242. 210 and 192, and Forsyth had 162, 193 and 181 for 536. In the final match of the afternoon the Italian star triumphed with 221, 218, 235 and 198 for 862. His opponent, Pug Leppert, had 198, 216. 209 and 149 for 772. Falcaro engaged in a single game with Indianapolis’ oldest bowler, Andy Pugh, who is 82. Falcaro had 193 to 108 for Pugh. The evening performance found the sledding a little tougher, but the New Yorker managed to dispose of two of three opponents, at the Fountain Square alleys. Joe Danna was the first in Indianapolis to defeat the old master of the ten pin game. Danna had 171, 204 and 206 for 581, while the easterner could count for only 176, 205 and 182 for 562. The second tijt between Paul Striebeck and Falcaro had the champion concluding with 548 on games of 165. 202 and 181. Striebeck had 161. 201 and 183 for 545. The final match of the evening found Joe winding up his stay in Indianapolis with a wonderful series of 915. on 221, 289, 210 and 195. In the 289 game he started from the gun with ten in a row. but on the eleventh sail the ten pm failed to fall on a beautiful pocket hit. Nan Schott, after a slow start of 182 and 168. found the range and then pounded out a 215 and 224, resulting in 789 for his four games. Falcaro's average for the evening was 202. Ii reviewing the last week's performances of the local bowling leagues, it will be found some brilliant scores were produced In the Indtanapolls League at Pritchett's the Barbasol five produced one of the best live-mar. sets for the current season This team accounted for 3.343 on games of 1.032. 1.120 and 1.191. Fall City Beer carried the second honors with a nice series of 3.253. In Individual play five 700 totals were rolled with the every-ready Jack Hunt leading the field with a smashing count of 748 Don Johnson was next in line with 739. Johnny Fehr added anotner 700 to his string, making the total seren He had 701 Wednesday night. Jack Hunt

O'Farrell May Feed Cincy Reds on Stardust After This

BY CHARLES E. TARKER (Battinc for Joe Williams) ORLANDO. Fla., April 2.—Charge me. if you will, with literary piracy, but I am about to make a statement which I am quite sure has been made by someone else. Here it is: ‘•The radio is a wonderful thing." You ask why. Well. I'll tell you that, too. The radio brought Powel Crosley Jr. into baseball. That is. the jackl acquired in the manufacture of radlß' sets enabled him to step in and take over the bankrupt Cincinnati Reds and start the business of building that chronic tailender into—well, into something that may not be a chronic tailender. Crosley. unwittingly perhaps, brought something absolutely novel teethe sport of baseball.

returned to the maple drives on Thursday night Ir. the Printcraft League to score a 702 The other 700 total for last week was accounted for by Tom Quill with 710. No individual total was outstanding by the women last week, but team play came to the front. The Jack C. Carr team produced the highest single game of the season of 1,011. This is tile third highest game that has ever been shot in Indianapolis by women ten pin pastimers. Indianapolis again will be represented next week-end at the A. B. C. tournament in Peoria. Teams to roll ate Mir-Lis-MaCahill No. 1 and No. 2. Russett Cafeteria. Silver Edge Beer. Fox's Jail House. Marott Shoe. Indiana Wheel and Rim and Mausner Beer. Some of Indianapolis' best are included in these lineups and good scoring should derive from them. Race Johns has announced the fourth annual ISO average handicap sweepstakes for the women how'rs of his city next Saturday and Sunday April 7 and 8. at the Pritchett alleys. From the latest reports this tournament will meet with a huge success. The second annual five-man team sweepstakes event or the Illinois alleys is scheduled to take place Saturday end Sunday, April 14 and 15. This is a 1,050 handicap affair w'ith two-thirds the difference between your team's average and 1.050, the handicap. For reservations get in touch with Clarence (Dutch) Meyers, or the Illinois bowling alleys. In the Saturday sessions at the Parkway allevs Falcaro again found these drives to his liking. Getting away to a very slow •start of 543 on 196. 168 and 179. he managed to nose out his opponent. Wagoner, who had 205, 156 and 168 for 529. In the second set of the afternoon Saturday. Falcaro had 205. 176 and 191 i for 572. Peterson, his opponent, could get only 527 on games of 168, 190 and 169. ■ To offset this slow start. Falcaro clicked S for nice results in the four games. He ! accounted for 225. 245, 189. 244 for 903. Mize collected 184. 166. 189. 187 for 726. The final total was good to retain the 200 average. It was 201. The evening performance Saturday at the same drives had scoring much better, than the afternoon exhibition. The diminutive New Yorker with 213. 230, 212 | for 655. Mathews his first opponent. ! scored 172. 175 and 189 for 536. In the j second tilt against Roy Switzer, Falcaro ! continued to set a dizzy pace with a 640, ! on scores of 223. 235 and 182 for 640. Switzer had 183. 213 and 203 for 599. The i four-game match had the eastener good [ for 7.51 against 725 of Palmer. The for- | mer had games of 189. 172. 152 and 238. and Palmer had 199. 141. 195 and I§o In i a single game between Allen Spencer and i Falcaro. Spencer had 158 and Falcaro 220. I For the eleven games Falcaro averaged 206 ' A j Reviewing the performances of this ! champion pastimer we find some very : brilliant scoring. First of all was the ' smashing 300 score rolled at the Indiana alleys to bring his total of perfect tilts up to thirty-seven, and this a'so was the eighth of his present tour. He had a combined average for sixty-four games of I 210. He fired a total Os 13,444 pins for this amount of games. For four games his high total was at the Fountain Square alleys, a 915. and for three games it was 720 at the Uptown drives Indianapolis turned out in grand stvle to witness the different exhibitions of champion, and from all appearances Joe Falcaro will return to this Hoosier citv next year. Upon leaving he will roll at " Marlon, tomorrow night. Wednesday | he will be at Huntington and Ft. Wayne. From there he will journey to the A. B. C tournament at Peoria to compete in 1 the ten pin classic.

TWTO sooner did one Arthur Faneuf of Bellevue. Kv., which is a few miles from Cincinnati, learn of the new life in. and the new lucre behind, the Reds, than he came forward with a scheme to carry the team through an unbeaten season. That there may be something in it was evidenced in the Reds’ recent conquest over the world’s champion Giants. Arthur, you see, is an astrologist. He believes the game should be [Played according to the stars. He * means the stars of the firmament and not the stars of the diamond. I might add. however, that he has raised no objection to the presence of stars of the latter description. And ever since the Reds have been in training Arthur, who has been studying the stars and his astrological maps for forty or fifty years, never has failed to mall his daily.

30 Cities on Alleys Indianapolis Bowlers Fail to Register in A. B. C. on Sunday. By United Press PEORIA. 111., April 2.—More than thirty cities will be represented by teams on the two complete squads which will roll tonight in the annual American Bowling Congress tournament. Pins are expected to drop for high scores when the Milwaukee, Kansas City and Pittsburgh teams begin to work. Plankinton Arcades, Miller’s High Life and the Wilkie Dairy are the Milwaukee contributions, while Franklin Ice Cream and Schu-man-Waggener are among the Kansas City leaders. Ft. Pitt Brewing Company team of Pittsburgh, with George Antic Jr. at the helm, is one of the Smoky City’s best. Rudy Reipel, a member of the Arcades, was runner-up in the individual event of the Congress last year, and is co-holder with Charley Reinlie of the record 1,526 doubles score. The Franklins boast a 300man all the way Gown the line, each member having registered a perfect game at some time. New Highs Added Vince Powers of the SchumanWaggeners won the Kansas City elimination this year, and a teammate, Frank Smith, paired with Ned Day to win the midwest doubles championship. All will find the big ten of the team event a little harder to attain, for last night the Held Funeral Directors of Columbus, 0., landed second, scoring 3,023, and Pabst Blue Ribbons of Chicago went into fifth place through a 2,986 total and games of 979, 978 and 1,029, while Idle Hour Recreation made its way into ninth with a 2.931 and games of 933, 1,008 and 990. Devito led his team with a 653 series. P. J. Webster five of Chicago shot 2,907; J. Sumeracki Treasurers of Detroit, 2,825; Mills Restaurant of Columbus, 2,790, and George’s Restaurant of Madison, 2,785, to balance the high scoring of the evening. Murphy Rolls 685 Indianapolis keglers met with little success as they rolled in the Congress on the Sabbath. Yesterday the team of Crozier and Holt topped the Hoosier capital city’s doubles offerings with 1,202, while B. Hanna led the singles scoring for the Indianapolis entries with a 636. Indianapolis teams rolled on a late shift Saturday, with the Seven Up five producing the best figure with 2,752. Indianapolis scores On Saturday afternoon Johnny Murphy, young Indianapolis pin toppler, rolled 685 and took eighth place in the tournament singles. It was grand shooting. The Indianapolis doubles team of Pritchett and Fehr reached seventh place in the tournament standing with 1,263.

Strong Card for Mat Fans

ALTHOUGH the Dick KainesCharlie Strack bout will be featured on the Hercules A. C. wrestling card tomorrow night at the armory, Matchmaker Lloyd Carter has arranged a strong supporting program. Roland Kirchmeyer, 215, tall Oklahoma grappler, will engage Milo Steinborn, 220, German “strong man,” in the semi-windup. It will be a one fall tussle. Tom (Bad Wolf) Marvin, Indian husky, will be on deck in the opener against Tony Catalino, an Italian and a newcomer. They are billed for one fall. The Raines-Strack match has created an unusual amount of interest, and if both grapplers live up to their reputations, there may be plenty of fur flying when they square off. Strack scales 235 and Raines 230. Raines has had things his own way at the armory and has gone undefeated with the exception of two weeks ago when he was disqualified for roughness. Carter feels confident that Strack will provide Raines with strenuous opposition. The Boston grappler upset Man Mountain Dean in three minutes last Tuesday and has a nation-wide- reputation as a skilled matinan. He has defeated a list of topnotchers and holds draws with Ed (Strangler) Lewis and Jim Browning. HAWKS SEEK ICE CUP To Meet Detroit Red Wings in Hockey Series Finals. By United Press CHICAGO. April 2.—The Chicago Blackhawks moved upon Detroit and its top-notch Red Wings today to open the finals of the Stanley cup hockey classic. The Hawks completed their subjugation of the playoff teams by waltzing through the Montreal Maroons last night for the second straight game. The score was 3 to 2 and it brought the Hawks-Maroons semi-final total score to 6 to 2 for the Chicagoans.

Arthur calls them ‘‘formulas of astro-mathematics and psychology.” They come in the form of charts in red and blue ink, with footnotes supplying additional data or iirformation. a a a IT seems Arthur has acquired the birth dates, etc., of all the National League players, and that several days in advance of each game he figures out the astral influence upon each member of the Reds and each member of the opposing team. He then lines up a sure-fire Cincinnati winner for that particular day. Bob O'Farrell, who follows the more or less traditional lines of managing a ball club and who. by that method, carried the Cardinals to the title a few years back, did not warm to the Faneuf suggestions '

Jimmie McClure, Ping Pong Sensation, Learned to Play Eighteen Months Ago

BY CARLOS LANE Small, eager-eyed Jimmie McClure, 17, of 1718 Central avenue, has hung one on some of the bigger and brawnier lads of the various divisions of the sporting 'world. Eighteen months ago a rank novice, Jimmy today is a champion —indeed, is several times a champion—in his chosen sport, and soon hopes to be king ■—— - ■■ of all the lads and dta ■■■ lassies who bat celluloid pellets Ifr" % around on the ping-pong planks. Y I A year and a K| : half ago, Jimmie ||L|: admits, ping pong tST was to him just ||£ Lw . what it is to most W * f of us, a parlor J V ' contest with no more serious im- ; <••• port than parchesi. And now J i m m i e eats, McClure walks, talks and sleeps ping pong. Moreover, he plays it. The cream of the nation’s ping pongers from Ohio, westward, and from Detroit to the Mexican gulf are well aware that Jimmie plays ping pong. In the past six months he has taken eighteen tournaments from them, faltering in none. Included in his titles are championships of Indtianapolis, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and the western and the southern crowns. Like Alexander, Jimmie is finding conquerable worlds fewer and fewer. The pinnacle of his flashy career on the green-topped tables will be his participation in the national ping pong tourney in Cleveland next week-end, April 6, 7 and 8. The Indianapolis lad is one of the favorites, if not the favorite in the national event, although he will be only one in a field of almost 130. “The fellow I’ve got to beat there,” he said, “is Sam Silverman, from New York, the eastern champ.” “So what, Jimmie?” he was asked. “They tell me he’s tough” Jimmie said. And that was all. A year and a half ago Jimmie and Joei Inman, another Indianapolis youth now known nationally because of his adeptness with a ping pong paddle, started playing the game at a friend’s house. Their skill and their devotion to the pastime grew apace, until they began to attract attention of several local experts of established standing. Tournament competition followed, and improvement of their technique was steady, until this year Jimmie has had a sweeping season, with Joel not far behind. To watch Jimmie at a table, even with only a casual knowledge of the sport, is to realize that the lad is a champion. His speed, his j repertory of overspins and backspins, chops, forehands, slices and cuts are amazing, and his intuition on volleys and services no less so. .“Speed, good eyesight, and accurate anticipation of what’s coming next are the big things in winning ping pong games,” Jimmie explained. He thinks out his games in advance, planning on placements, the type of game he will play, and

But in the course of our session we came upon the recent RedGiants game "formula.” And Bob. upon looking it over and recalling the course of the game, began to | ! wonder if he has been acting, wisely. THE chart for this day was as follows: REDS GIANTS Good Bad’ Good Bad Pts. Pts. Pts. Pts.

U.S.L.T.A. Invites Five Stars to Shape for Davis Cup Play

By United Press NEW YORK, April 2.—The United States Lawn Tennis Association launched its 1934 Davis cup campaign today by announcing a squad of five players who will begin practice on May 14 for international competition. If necessary, other players may be added later. However, the team is generally expected to be picked from the quintet which has been invited to report to team Captain R. Norris Williams II at the Merion Cricket Club. Haverford, Pa., in May. The five are: Lester R. Stoefen of Los Angeles, who won the national indoor singles and doubles titles last month.

Horace Mann Cops State Track Meet; Tech Third

Horace Mann of Gary today held the state high school indoor track and field championship which its intra-city rival, Froebel had held for the last six years. In the state swimming championship in Butler fieldhouse Saturday in conjunction with the track and field meet, South Bend Central replaced Whiting as the champion. I Central collected thirty points, more than twice as many as its nearest competitor. Four state records were broken in the swimming events. Horace Mann collected thirtyeight points in winning the track and field meet. Kokomo nosed out Tech for second, 30’i to 30, and Hammond was fourth with 29. Others finished as follows: Froebel, 22; Washington (Indianapolis), 16; Ft. Wayne North Side, 13; Rushville, 11; Lew Wallace (Gary), 9 1 -; Petersburg, 9; Mishawaka. 9; Anderson, 8; Ben Davis, 7; Bloomington, Emerson (Gary) and Vincennes, 6 each; Huntington.

In view of the fact the Reds had won the fray, O'Farrell pondered the chart more closely. "Say,” he exclaimed, “that is almost the winning lineup. Os course, he had one too many infielders. He says here to use Mallon at center t field. And the batting order is no: quite that I used. But the lineup is so nearly the same I think I’d better look over what this fellow sends me in the future.” So the oldest nickname in baseball may pass from existence this year and the Cincinnati Reds become the Cicaanati Astrals.

The Sunday drill was long and strenuous and was featured by the long distance swatting of outfielder Harry Rosenberg and the work of Bob Kahle, Richmond rookie, at third base. Trie Hoosier lad has been moved up to the first string and will be given a thorough “going over’ ’by Manager Killefer and the team veterans. He is a fast stepper on the infield. Smacks Scoreboard With the aid of a brisk breeze Rosenberg drove the ball over the left field fence on two occasions and also smacked one against the center field scoreboard, a distance of 450 feet. Harry is making a strong bid to stay with the Indians this year and is ready to give everybody a race for a regular berth. Vernon Washington, slugging fly chaser from Texas, was disabled yesterday by a severe cold and was given a rest. One rookie pitcher commanding attention is the right-hander Allen Baringer. a side arm fast ball flinger. The batters are having difficulty in solving his offerings, and if the youngster retains control under fire he may make the grade. Most of the pitchers in camp saw mound service yesterday and hitting practice lasted two hours. Nine Arc Released In addition to Kahle. other rookies showing promise are Meyers, outfielder; Lawrie, third-sacker; Chamberlain and Russell, pitchers; Rhein and Tartarian, shortstops, and Wyss and Lombordo. catchers. Nine releases were handed out Saturday night and the boys dismissed were given traveling expenses ’and sent home. The young pastimers released were Gray, catcher; Lady, Fowler and Quackenbush, outfielders; Loeper, Dugan and Minnick, infielders; Crumb and Siebert, pitchers.

The Cincinnati Reds will arrive next Monday to engage the Tribesmen in six successive tilts. 31av Play Friday The Indians will play in two sections next Sunday, one squad going to Owensboro, Ky., to meet a strong semi-pro nine.

The Colonels are training at Dawson Springs. Players unsigned are Ernie Wingard. first sacker, and Jim Turner and Lefty Chambers, pitchers. Infielder Joe Norris, who has been ill, was expected in camp today. He was with Ft. Worth last year. Turner also was scheduled to arrive today for a conference with Manager Killefer.
