By Eddie Ash Rods Are Making Courageous Effort m • m ( rosley's Money Being Spent Freely

f AKRY MACTIIAIL, general manager, is doing a good job of trying to lift the Cincy Reds out of the cellar. He has become a lavish spender of Powel Crosley’s money and in the spring will supply Manager Charlie Dressen with two sets of players, one group of veterans, the other of youngsters. Forty pastimers are on the roster and it will be Dressen's job to select the best 23 by May 15. The player limit goes into effect at that time. Since the windup of the 1934 .season MacPhail has spent 5150.C00 in cash on player deals and also has made a few trades, all with the approval of Pilot Dressen And before the 1934 curtain went down MacPhail used up $53,000 in adding athletes to the Cincy squad. The Reds last a fortune last year and it is apparent that Owner Powel Crosley “can take It. It s either that or MacPhail has his bass spellbound. Anyway, most Hoasiei diamond followers hope the Reds make the exit from last place. Indiana baseball goers always have had a warm spot in their hearts for the Queen City nine. The Redlegs have occupied the National League basement four consecutive years.

Ruppert Is Interested JAKE RUPPERT. owner o f the New York Yankees and one of the most influential men in baseball, applauds the National League for its attitude in permitting the night baseball experiment this year. Not all of the senior loop teams will turn on the lights, but President Ford Frick is glad to know that at least one American Leagu ■ magnate appreciate the courage of the National in going ahead with the nocturnal test. Col. Ruppert’s coming out for a chance for night baseball is interesting in the wake of the blasts against the subject made by big lrague newspapers and by certain magnates in both major circuits. The Yankee prexy stated: “It has been charged that the major leagues are too backward, and too little inclined to give something new a chance. Well, that isn't exactly correct. If anybody will show me an idea that would help the game, make it more attractive. I would go right to it. That’s why I am going to watch night baseball in the National League ciasely.” a a a Babe Ruth's Caddy ONE reason Outfielder Sam Byrd is glad to get away from the New York Yankees is to get some peace from razzing bleacherites. It was Byrd's duty with the Yanks to fill in for Babe Ruth when the great Bambino was indisposed. So whenever these occasions arose and Byrd walked to his position in the outfield, the bleacherites took keen delight in shouting “Here comes Babe Ruth's caddy!” Byrd will be with the Cincy Reds the coming season and believes he will make the grade as a big league regular. Samuel thinks he was held back in his major career by that difficult assignment at New York — subbing for several years for baseball's greatest idol. He said: “If I happened to get a long drive some fan would yell Babe would have hit that one twice as far’.” tt tt O Tribe Training Dates J) ED KILLEFER. manager of the T ndianapolis ball club, has seSt. Patrick's Day to start the .rrnTans of! on the 1935 spring training grind.

It was predicted before the race that many cars would not lie able to finish the contest. However, a close study of carburetion and skillful driving brought all of the cars through. Wild Bill Cummings, the winning driver, finished with 9gallons to spare and made the remarkable average of 14.37 miles per gallon. This year the gas limitation has been reduced to 42 1 2 gallons for the run. which will occasion further study of fuel consumption. Additional fuel will be allowed two-cycle motors to encourage their entry.

Shortridge, Cathedral, Manual, Washington and Tech all will meet two opponents. Shortridge cagers drilled on the new play setups and w'ent through a heavy scrimmage session as Coach Peterman prepared for the tilt here tomorrow night with Butch Neuman's Lebanon Tigers and an invasion of Kokomo Saturday night.

Ross Lands Top Place In Annual Ring Ratings Boxing Magazine Puts Max Baer in Group by Himself in Naming Ranking Heavyweights. Bp United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—By pounding his way into the ranks of the few double champions boxing has know’n, Barney Ross goes down as the outstanding fighter of 1934 in the tenth annual ratings of The Ring, boxing magazine. He alone is ranked on top as champion of one division and bracketed with the kingpin of another ahead of all contenders.

The Chicago buzzsaw who rules the world's 135-pound fighting men is out in front in his own division and shares the top flight among welters with Champion Jimmy McLarnin, whom he dethroned last year, only to lose the title on a hairline decision in a return match. Max Baer is placed on top alone among heavyweights and Freddie Miller and Panama A1 Brown simimlarly are honored among feathers and bantams, respectively. In all other classes at least two men are bracketed in the top position and in some cases there are more. The rankings tell a story of comparative safety for Baer. Steve Hamas' questionable victory over Art Lasky has caused the Penn Stater to be dropped behind Primo Camera in group two among the heavyweights, with Lasky third and Max Schmeling next. The answer seems to be that there is little trouble in there for Baer. Attucks to Tangle With Spencer Five The Crispus Attucks High School basketball team will meet a strong opponent in Spencer High School at the Attucks gym tomorrow night. Spencer has enjoyed a successful season. The Attucks lineup probably will be Smith and Davis, forwards; Umphrey and Haiding. guards, and Holiday, center. The return of Smith is expected to strengthen the squad. The game will begin at 8. In a prelim tussle, the Attucks second team will tackle the Arsenal Bulldogs, a local East Side quintet.

OFF THE^MfKWHD by paul

A two weeks’ peace pact will expire tonight and Marion County's chummiest enemies will go at it again. Just tw r o weeks ago Southport and Ben Davis met on neutral ground in the Washington gym here. Southport crocked the Giants, 27-to-19, and a county gash won't heal in two w 7 eeks. Tonight the Ben Davis Giants swoop into the Cardinal nest and you can bet the revenge element will get a good workout. But the books are against the Giants, and revenge w'on't supplant experience, speed and confidence. So it looks like‘Southport again.

Dave Evans Seeks New Diesel Record Veteran Pilot to Make Test in Florida. Dave Evans, well-known automobile racer, and holder of several Diesel-engined cars records, will go to Daytona Beach, Fla., in February to attempt to set anew world's Diesel-engined car record. “The attempt,” Evans said, “will be made with a Diesel engine that never before has been used in a racing or record car. I know its capabilities and I believe it easily will eclipse the present world’s Diesel record, now held in Europe, of 120.34 miles an hour.” “I am not at liberty to announce my plans further at the moment, except to say that the car is being built in Indianapolis, while the engine is having its block test at the Hemphill Diesel Engineering Schools, Inc., in Chicago.” Evans, incidentally, is director of the Hemphill Schools.

A reader has studied long and hard to discover what's wrong with those faltering Green-clads and finally comes up with the solution. The solution is suggested in a letter. But you'd never guess whom the letter is from Tim. A Tech Alumnus!—strange, isn't it? Alumni usually are reticent to comment on such matters. Here 'tis: Dear Backbord: I think I know what’s the matter with Tech this year. Having witnessed the Muneie and Eogansport games, I’ve come to the conclusion that the bovs don't shoot for the hoop often enough. This was especially true in the Muneie game. When they held a good lead over Muneie. they started withholding the ball. And when their lead melted to two points they started shooting again, and much to their surprise found they could hit it with regularity. After all, the game is won by the club that puts the ba” through the basket the most times. They’ve tried to put Townsend’s shoes on Chris Mocas, but the shoes are much too large. Things look dark this year for Tech, but perhaps next season will be a different story. Yours, Tech Alumnus ’34. tt tt tt And Tittle Willie of Shortridge writes in to "convey to Tech my condolences for the loss of Dobbs, a great little player.

Butler Faces Last Big Ten Hardwood Foe Bulldogs Can Break Even by Defeating Chicago in Tilt Tonight. The last of Butler's clashes with Big Ten basketball teams his season will be played in the fieldhouse here tonight at 8.30 when the Bulldogs entertain the University of Chicago quintet. Coach Tony Hinkle's Bulldogs have a chance of breaking even against Western Conference opposition, having defeated Illinois, 39 to 24. and lost to Purdue and Northwestern by narrow margins. Chicago has just added Bill Haarlow\ the “Berwanger” of Maroon basketball, to the squad. He was third high in conference scoring last year despite the fact that he was absent from two games. Ineligibility had kept him on the bench until yesterday. Butler has come out of three consecutive Big Ten games with a storehouse of additional basketball knowledge. Coach Tony Hinkle has learned most of the defects of his players during the stiff competition and has been making corrections. Tonight will be Hinkle's opportunity to “strut” against his alma mater. Both he and the Maroons’ coach, Nelson Norgren, also a Chicago product, have piloted their respective squads since 1921. Packers to Battle Bendix Squad Here The Hilgemeier Packers, undefeatd in''ten starts this season, will attempt to preserve the clean slate w-hen they clash with the Bendix Corp. basketball team of South Bend next Sunday at the Armory. The Bendix team is considered foremost in the northern part of the state, and boasts a strong lineup of ex-college stars. The local team probably will play without the services of Charlie Shipp, star forward. He suffered injuries in an automobile accident that will bench him for 10 days. With a wealth of reserve strength, the Packers expect to overcome this handicap and advance their twoyear winning streak to 32 games.
