By Joe Williams a a a McLarnin-Ross Go Assailed a a a Barney’s Fall Predicted a a a Gives I p Too Much Weight

YORK, May I.—Amonjr thr mail was a letter from Mr. Tom Laird, who contrives punpent pieces or the San Francisco News on topics appertaining to and touching on sports. The first line in Mr. Laird’s letter read: “There is going to be a murder in your town on the night of May 28. ’ This was not only startling information hut information of a character calculated to fill a timid soul with horror. Did this mean that Dillinger was headed east on a specific mission of desruction? a a a a a a IAM not exactly what you might rail a murder addict in any form and so it was with no little apprehension that I steeled myself to read further. “Yes. a murder." th<* letter continued “That’s what the match between McLarnm and Ross amounts to. and the police should stop it. just as they are supposed to stop all similar outrages against society. Ross will be knocked stiffer than a planked shad. Mr. Laird then went on to explain he had seen Ross iwho is the lightweight champion if you don't happen to remember) in a couple of fights on the coast in recent months and that he showed nothing to indicate hat he might have so much as an outside chance against McLarnin, to whom he will have to spot “at least ten pounds in weight.” A couple of run-of-mine fighters gave Ross an armful of misery on the coast and Mr. Laird, watching them do it. professes to be greatly bepuzzled at the eastern critics who persist in ascribing super qualiies to the Chicago Hebrew. a a a a a a •* 1 p he’s a super fighter. Babe Ruth is a great toe dancer,” says the A whimsical Mr. Laird. Well. I don t like the match myself. I particularly don’t like it because it doesn't seem to be wholly sporting. Ross will have to give away eight, nine or ten pounds and that’s too big a burden to ask a iittle fellow to shoulder. If he were a heavyweight, a light heavyweight or even a middleweight it wouldn t make much difference. But he's a natural 135pounder. I have no small admiration for the fighting ability of Jimmy McLarnin. but 1 have never liked the wav he always, or almost always,comes out of these contract signings with all the best of it on the scales. Right off then he carries a distinct advantage. This is something pugilistic historians should keep in mind when they get around to establishing his true greatness as a fighter. a a a a a a ■•ttthY blame McLarnin if the little fellows want to fight him?” you W may ask. A prooer question. Why blame him indeed? But that, doesn't make the matches any less lopsided. Primarily the blame should be placed at the feet of the fine, upstanding sportsmen who manage the little fellows, and secondly, on thr desks of the boxing commissioners who sanction such matches. “But the customers want to see this match—lt brings together two of the best fighters in the game," you may wish to argue. I'll grant you that, but it remains none the less a bad match and an unsporting match; a match in which a much bigger man and a much harder hitter comes to the ring with about the same corresponding advantage Equipoise would have if entered in an overnight race. a a a a a a “ A LL right.” you may say, “but little men have beaten big men before l\. and what, makes you -so sure Ross can't turn the trick?” I am not so sure. I simply state that on the face of visible physical evidence the odds are all against it. and moreover, that the practice of permitting McLarnin to come into the ring in practically every fight he makes with a substantitial pull in the weights does neither him. as a standout fighter, nor the game, as such, any good. It may even be that McLarning is not a really great fighter, although a large number of competent judges insist he is. Certainly he is not so great that he ran go out of his division and win. That was demonstrated when he gave away weight to Lou Brouillard and took a fierce smacking around. If he is a really great fighter and can't give away weight what are you to say about Ross, whose star hangs in a much lower constellation?

Cavalcade's the Choice Victories at Havre de Grace Stamp Mrs. Sloane's Colt as Derby Favorite.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff C orrespondent CHICAGO. May I.— The Kentucky Derby, to be run at Churchill Downs Saturday, is no longer a wide-open race. Cavalcade is the roll to boat. Two smashing victories within four days at Havre De Grace have stamped Cavalcade as the leading candidate for the sixtieth running of Americas mast famous horse race.

Cavalcade tied the track record in winnie the Shenandoah purse in 1:414-5 for a mile and seventy yards on Wednesday and came back to break the track record in winning the Chesapeake Stakes in 1:43 3-5 for a mile and one-sixteenth on Saturday. Mrs. Isabelle Dodge Sloan bought Cavalcade as a yearling for $1,200. He is the son of Lancegave. an English stallon. and he is bred to go the route. He has never run a bad race. He started eleven times as a juvenile and won only twice, but he was never farther back than fourth, and usually was coming on at the finish. Mack Garner, one of the smartest. jockeys in the busness, will ride Cavalcade. Garner has won almost every important stake, except the Kentucky Derby, and he'll be knocking at the door for this prize four days hence. That s the combination to beat— Cavalcade and Garner. Lone Shot May Be Due in Classic The next six best seem to be the Dixiana stables Mata Hari. John Simonetti's Sergeant Byrne. Colonel E. R. Bradley's Bazaar, Alfred G. Vanderbilt's Discovery. Alec Gordon's Sir Thomas, and Norman Church's Riskulus. Sergeant Byrne won the Paumonok Handicap recently, and looks like a contender. Mata Hari has been training well and continues to share the position of favorite with Cavalcade in the winter book. Evenone fears Bradley and his filly. Bazaar. Discovery ran third to Cavalcade in the Chesapeake Stakes and will like the Derby distance. Sir Thomas, a maiden, still is an unknown quantity, but gets his test today at Churchill Downs in the Derbv preparation purse. Despite his failure in the Texas Derby. Riskulus can't be counted out of it yet. The rest of the prospective field of eighteen or more seem to be shooting at the moon. In this classification aparently are Dan Sabath. Spy Hill, Agrarian. Speedmore. Singing Wood, Peace Chance. Prince Pompey. Jabot. Time Clock. Soon Over. Fogarty, Bender First. War Pledge. Vitamin B. Royal Leon. Thomasville. Count Rae. Quastimondo. Naval Cadet and Blue Again. It’s been a long time since a long shot captured the Derby, and even one of those given little chance now might come thundering down the homestretch to turf glory next Saturday. If such should happen, it's likely to be Cavalcade that the winner will beat to get home first. crimson” nine wins Indiana Defeats Central Normal. 3 to 0. at Bloomington.

COLONELS TURN BACK TRIBESMEN, 7 TO 3

Indians, Louisville Share Second Place in Circuit Standing; Wind Up Today Stew Bolen Assigned to Slab in Last Game of Series; Indianapolis Will Open at Home Thursday Against St. Paul Club. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor LOUISVILLE. Ky.. May I.—The broad shoulders and sturdy left arm of Stewart Bolen were depended upon to carry the Indians to victory today in the fourth and final skirmish of the series at Parkway field. Heretofore this season. Bolen was effective except when he lost control, but the big fellow now feels that the time has arrived for him to put the sphere over the plate. Bolen pitched like a big leaguer during the second half of the last season and has reached the conclusion that unless he can master the horsehide during early games, he never will receive a return trip to the majors. Moreover. Manager Red Killefer of the Indians scribbled the handwriting on the wall today for his mound chuckers to muse over when he released Bill Thomas.

Thomas was a Tribe mainstay in 1933 and was being built up for a major league sale during the early months of the campaign only to fold up and disappoint the management and chase away the scouts. The slender right-hander was released on option to Williamsport of the New York-Pennsylvania League and was ordered to report there at once. Williamsport is managed by Mike McNally, former well-known American League pastimer. Thomas received two starting assignments this spring and was knocked out both times. He was obtained by the Indians from Oklahoma City a few years ago. Logan Knocked Out The agreement with Williamsport is so arranged that it will offer Thomas the opportunity to return to the Indians in the event he makes good on his new job. Bill hurled great ball for Indianapolis at times last year and the Hoosier fans will be pulling for him to do a comeback. Thomas failed to show up at departing time when the Indians left Indianapolis for Louisville early Sunday, but came in Sunday evening and pitched during batting practice. Lefty Bob Logan took a hard shellacking here yesterday and the Tribe’s ace southpaw had a difficult time retiring the Colonels, who won, 7 to 3. Logan was thumped for two doubles, two singles and three runs in the opening inning, and after the Louisville boys got to him for two hits and a third tally in the second stanza. Manager Killefer switched to the rookie right hander. Hal Chamberlain. The California giant erased the Colonels in order in the third and fourth, but after two down in the fifth he was touched for two singles. He fanned three men in three rounds, but weakened in the sixth and the Colonels solved him for four singles and two runs. A1 Butzberger worked the seventh and eighth for the Indians and allowed three hits and one run. Sherlock Leads Attack Chamberlain's performance impressed Chief Killefer. and the big fellow is sure to be granted a thorough trial. He never has pitched league ball before and is a graduate of the California semi-pro ranks. He is only 22 and possesses bull-like strength. Jim Peterson, formerly of the Athletics, hurled the Colonels to their triumph yesterday. He gave up thirteen hits, but the Indians couldn't bunch many blows and were left at the post as the Colonels

McMillin Booked To Speak Before Alumni of Indiana Hoosier Grid Coach Makes Short Trip Here From Kansas Home. A flying: trip of roach Bo McMillin back to Indiana will include an address by the Hoosier state university’s new grid mentor in Indianapolis tomorrow night. He will be the speaker at the annual university’s Founder's day banquet at 6:30 in the Columbia Club. It will be McMiyin's second appearance before local Indiana alumni. Several weeks ago he talked at a weekly luncheon of the I. U. club. Alumni of the Crimson school today thought it was probable that the coach would name his second assistant coach at the meeting. Candidates under consideration have been kept secret since McMillin several weeks ago named Ralph Graham, former Kansas star blocking back, to aid him at I. U. Bo arrived in Bloomington from Manhattan, Kan., yesterday. Mrs. McMillin accompanied him to look for a permanent residence in the universtiy town. They plan to go back to Kansas Thursday for most of the summer. With the Tribe at Bat TRIBF. BATTING AVERAGES AB. H. Pet.

INDIANAPOLIS, TUESDAY, MAY 1, 1934

played errorless ball back of their hufler. Olivares, Adair and Peterson took care of a mess of fielding chances to choke off threatened rallies by the Hoosiers. Sherlock, with four hits, and Bedore with two, led the Tribesters at bat. It was a perfect day for Sherlock at the plate. Extra base hitting by the Indians consisted of a triple by Costelle and a double by Washington, who batted for Butzberger in the ninth. Young Gilbert Brack, outfielder, was a thorn to the Indians. He poled four hits and batted in three runs. The rookie is a former Chicago sandlotter who has been owned by Louisville a couple of years, but who has seen little American Association service. He reported as a catcher, and failed, tried the infield, and failed, and then made good as a fly chaser. In three games against the Tribe, Bi-ack has batted seven times and has collected five hits. Vincent Sherlock, who led the Indians in the base hit column, with four blows, could use a little more polish as a second sacker and in running bases. He was guilty of two mistakes yesterday that did not show in the error column. He is big enough to become a star if he will learn the finer points. Tribe, Colonels Deadlocked The Indians will be idle tomorrow and will leave for Indianapolis at 7:30 tonight. They will begin a three-game series with the St. Paul Saints at Indianapolis Thursday. The Minneapolis Millers will follow the Apostles to Perry stadium and will be there for a double header next Sunday. The game of next Tuesday has been advanced to supply the bargain attraction with Ownie Bush's Millers. The Indians and Colonels were tied for second place as they prepared to square off in their final conflict at Parkway field this afternoon. Archie McKain, Louisville southpaw, was slated to oppose Stewart Bolen. Jim Peterson, Colonel heaver, threatened the American Association record in chances handled by a moundsman yesterday. He had eight assists and one putout. The record is nine and one, posted by Bill Burwell. of Indianapolis, in 1929. However, one of Petersons assists was on a ball that bounced off his shins and was deflected to the third sacker, who got the runner at first. Another one of Petersons assists was made when he cut off a throw in from the outfield and pegged to second to erase Sherlock, who was running wild. However, it was a fine day for Peterson. He got two hits and sacrificed once and won decisively despite the fact he was thumped for thirteen blows. The Louisville hit total was fifteen.

Double Play Hurts Tribe Manager Betzel cried on the coaching lines in the seventh. Radcliff. first up. blasted a triple and failed to score. The players following him were easy outs. Cotelle misjudged Adair’s liner in ! the first and Bob Logan folded after that. The drive went for a double and scored two Colonels. And the next hitter doubled, tallying Adair. Johnny Cooney is not meeting the ball in the customary Cooney fashion. He got one hit yesterday, but in four other tries, failed to nudge the sphere out of the infield. A double play rescued Peterson in the fourth, an inning in which the Hoosiers got three hits and one run. George Detore had nineteen : putouts at first base for Louisville. The A. A. record is twenty-two. Louisville made twenty-four assists. The League mark is twenty-seven. The advance army of Kentucky 1 Derby addicts is on the march into ! Louisville. Not many of the raceI goers flash smiles when they comr in from the track each evening. The favorite moan is, “I lost by a nose.” Just like losing a ball game by one run.

Nelson Marks (left) and Ed McNabney. NELSON MARKS, former president of the Coffin golf club and a veteran among local amateur -players teamed with young Ed McNabney, Anderson high school lad to win the first pro-amateur tournament of the season at Speedway links yesterday. Taking advantage of the four-stroke handicap allowed them as amateurs, the pair teamed well to score a best ball total of 68. three under course par of 71. Marks had individual 75, and McNabney 78.

A RUDDY young Anderson high school golfer. Ed McNabney, 18, became much excited Sunday when Bob Tinder, Anderson Country Club pro. invited him to participate in the weekly pro-amateur tournament here yesterday. Ed was up bright and early, got in a few practice shots and came to Speedway course. Imagine his surprise when the sixteen pros who were entered drew their amateur partners by lot and his name was still left in the hat. He was not to enjoy the pleasure of playing along with a professional partner after all. As there was only sixteen pros entered with the twenty-two amateurs, six simon pures paired up among themselves. Imagine Ed's even greater surprise then when he and his partner Nelson Marks, well known local amateur player walked off with first honors of the tournament, with a best ball score of 68.

IT was a successful tourney. Sixteen pro-amateur teams and three teams of amateurs made a field of thirty-eight for the lid-lift-ing event of the season. Playing in the third foursome, Bill Wilkinson, new assistant pro at Coffin, and his partner, Bert Street, finished early with a best ball of 69. Street, the amateur member of the firm, had the benefit of some strokes and he made good. Where he couldn't do any good, Bill stepped in. By helping each other they managed to scamper under the wire with a two-stroke margin on par 71. a u n Russell Stonehouse. Riverside pro, and with Charlie Braughton, his j partner, were one stroke under par when they finished putting on the thirteenth green. Then Russell ran down a neat ten-foot putt on the fourteenth to make them two under par. Pushing his tee shot off to the right, Russ found himself in a tough spot, because Braughton took the rough with his second. Russell had to gamble. He hit the sand trap just short of the green on No. 15. but his shot out of the sand was perfect and he got his par. With pars on the sixteenth and seventeenth, he still had a chance to get under the Wilkinson-Street total as he lay on the eighteenth green in three, with a twelve-foot putt for a 68. The putt failed to drop. a tt tt MARKS and McNabney had a chance for a 67. Being amateurs they had the advantage of two strokes handicap allowance on the first nine. One stroke applied on the first hole gave them a birdie. Another stroke allowed on the sixth hole gave them another birdie. Their best ball as they played it was 36 on the first nine or a net 34 gclng out. The stroke allowed them on the eleventh hole gave them another; birdie and when they took a five j on the thirteenth hole the stroke allowed them a par 4. Marks came through with deuces ; on fourteen and sixteen with pars j on No. 15 and No. 17 they were i ! just 62 strokes to that point. Only : | a par 5 hole lay between them and a best ball score of 67. Both needed four to get on the eighteenth green but Marks had a ten-foot putt left for his par 5. It lackeC i the push, but even a six put them out in front one stroke with 68. u u The playoff for second and third places, between Russell Stonehouse and Charlie Braughton and Bill ; Wilkinson and Bert Street, went | only to the first hole. Russell hit ! even par and that was good enough. 1 The others took s’s. In the playoff for fourth and fifth places between the 71 shooters, j Charlie Higgs, pro at Shelbyville ! and J. L. Pasco won out on the first hole over Bill Heinlein and Orval Neigh. Higgs hit two beautiful shots 1 o reach the first green and 1 putted for a birdie, although par I would have been good. a tt a THE rest of the scores were: Ralph Stonehouse and Don Emerson. 73; Marion Smith and Jack Poland. 73; Denny Sullivan and Bill Berber. 76; Charlie Higgs and J. L. Pasco, 71; Maurice Feeney and Rav Roberson. 73; Bill Heinlein and Orval Neigh. 71; George Stark ' and T. C. Huston. 72; Chuck Gar- | ringer and Charlie Brockman. 73; Roy Smith and R.

Ross and Maurice May and Bert Bruder, and Bert Bruder and Bert Hugate played but failed to turn in cards. n n n JOHNNY WATSON, the little Scotch pro at Erkine park, in South Bend, looked strange wearing glasses.

ers helped a lot when he first began wearing them this spring, but he was not doing so well yesterday: He attributed most of it to the fact cold weather has retarded his spring practice work. Terrell Huston of El wood, Johnny's partner played a billiard shot on No. 13. Huston's ball lay against the fence that bounds the track. He drove the ball against the fence and it banked back nearly on the green. a a u TN answer to queries about dates of various amateur tournaments this summer, the Indianapolis District Golf Association fifty-four-hole tournament will be held in June. The directors are to meet Friday noon to take steps to determine times and places. The national public links tournament will be held July 30 to Aug. 4, inclusive, in Pittsburgh, Pa., but the dates for the local qualifying play have not been set. Entries must be in the hands of the U. S. G. A. before July 20, so the loc&l test probably will be around the middle of July. The dates for the state amateur likewise are not certain, but it is traditional for that event to be held the second week of August. From what we have been able to learn it will be held at French Lick Springs course this year. , a a a THE play next week will be at Lester Smith's Mississinewa Country Club, in Peru. Pros will select their own partners and each team play without handicap. Following the play Monday the pros who are members of the Indiana P. G. A. met and talked over plans for the 1934 state open championship. Nothing was done definitely, but it was tentatively agreed that choice of dates would be July 11, 13 and 14 with second choice one week later. Unless the tournament is held in Indianapolis the pros say it needs sponsorship to get by, and so far no course has come forth with an offer to sponsor the meet. The boys talked a little at the meeting and from the talk it was gathered they would like to hold the event either on Guy Paulsen's Orchard Ridge course at Ft. Wayne, or over Johnny Watson's Erskine park course in South Bend. Something definite may be reported at the event next week at Peru.

Bobby Chick Will Show InHall Go ‘Lord’ Finnegan Paired With Pedigo in Feature. Bobby Chick, former cow-puncher who was well known in the Indianapolis mat arenas several season ago, will return in the semi-windup of the Friday night show in Tomlinson hall, promoter Jimmy McLemore said today. Chick now is a middleweight, having put on a few pounds since the days when, wrestling here he claimed the welterweight belt. Chick's record shows several wins over some of the most prominent men in the lighter weight divisions. The main go Friday night will match “Lord” Pat Finnegan. British welter, with Cecil' < Blacksmith) Pedigo, veteran Kentucky matman. The Times yesterday erred in stating that Pedigo would meet Duke Ruppenthal, Milwaukee, in the feature bout. Finnegan and Ruppenthal last Friday night staged one of the fastest wrestling exhibits in Indianapolis in some time, going an hour and a half to a draw. The main go and the semi-final bouts Friday night will be for two falls out of three. Chick£ opponent will be named later. fa*

The Karl Sarpolis-George Zaharias feud which has local wrestling fans keyed up. is expected to be settled tonight at the Armory when these two nationally prominent heavyweight grapplers come 10 grips in the feature bout on the Hercules A. C. mat card. Two all-star supporting tussles are on the program, the first starting at 8:30. The giant Colorado Cry Baby is j reported hot under the collar and prepared to even up his match tonight with Sarpolis. The two met here two weeks ago, with Sarpolis being awarded the verdict via the foul route. Sarpolis. who is popular with Armory fans, has gone on record as stating that he is ready to defend his victory of two weeks ago and. at the same time, handle rough Zaharias in his own fashion. Sarpolis is known for his ring sportsmanship, while Zaharias is rated one of the roughest* heavyweight grapplers in the business.

Thomas Goes

i Jr , ? *

Bill Thomas MANAGER RED KILLEFER ol the Indians in Louisville today said the Tribe has released Bill Thomas, right-handed hurler, on option to the Williamsport club of the New York-Pennsylvania circuit, a Class A league. Last season Thomas was a mound mainstay for the Tribesmen, but this year he hasn’t shown well with the club. He may return to the Killefer camp if he makes good with Williamsport.

Americans Faired With Each Other On British Links Ouimet Matched With Gus Moreland, Westland With Harris. BV STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. May I.—" None byrti first round wherein all play comparative unknowns excepting Ouimet meets Moreland Westland meels ex-champion Robert Harris"—thus an excerpt from a United Press London cable reporting the draw for the British amateur golf championship. Amplified it means, of course, that none of "our” boys was lucky enough to draw a first round hye. and that Francis Ouimet, the Walker cup team captain will play Gus Moreland of Dallas while Jack Westland of Chicago meets Robert Harris. The significance is that they do things differently over there than here. The United States Golf Association would no more conutenance pairing—for example—Roger Wethered and Tony Torrance, if both were entered in a United States tourney, than they would think of telling the Britshers they weren't welcome, in the first place. Since the British are universally recognized to be such sterling sportsmen. the incident above can not bo charged against the nation involved, but is left squarely upon the doorstep of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews. This is the same official organization which once told the United States: “Sure, we will go along with you fn modifying the golf ball,” and which, when the matter was actually brought up, decided to have none of it. It would be interesting in this country to know what the so-called rank and file among British golfers think of their governing body. To this end the writer has asked Henry McLemore (who is now in Londoni to see what he can learn on the subject.
