By Eddie Ash M’CLURE IS NET AMBASSADOR a a a AND HE’LL VISIT HUNGARY, TOO

JIMMY M’CLURE, the Indianapolis youth who has earned the right to represent America in the 1935 world’s table tennis championships in London, will have an interesting message for the international table tennis group when he arrives in England early in February. Jimmy will carry with him a portfolio of credentials signed by the mayor and high officials of Chicago which he will present to the president of the International Table Tennis Association. Jimmy then will act as Chicago's ambassador in extending the suggestion that the world paddle tourney be held in the Windy City in 1937. The 1936 event already has been allotted to Europe. The Hungarian Table Tennis Union has invited the Hoosier luminary : to visit Hungary during his tour of Europe. Jimmy has accepted and his European trip will take longer than the six weeks originally planned.

Loses His Paddle THE table tennis group now traveling the Midwest —McClure, Viktor Barna and Sandor Glancz of Hungary, and Coleman Clark of Chicago—lias played to capacity audiences in every city. In one city Jimmy McClure was approached by an autograph seeker. When Jimmy laid down his prize paddle to scribble his signature the young admirer grabbed up the “bat” and made a hasty exit. The paddle hasn’t been located yet However, jimmy was presented with one of the finest paddles in the country when he was in Chicago Sunday. It was given to him by the player who originated the new style piddles. a a a Golden Gloves Prices TICKET prices were announced today for The Times-Legion Golden Gloves amateur boxing tourney to be held at the local Armory Jan. 25, Feb. 1 and 5.

A pair of first flight mat stars who are rated the two best contenders for the heavyweight title are reported ready for their important match which will headline the Hercules A. C. wrestling card tonight at the

Armory. The nationally known grapplers. Everett Marshall and Ray Steele, will clash in a bout calling for two falls out of three and which i promises to provide a real treat for local fans. The tussle tonight is recognized as the feature of the early 1935 mat calendar throughout the nation and it places Indianapolis once more to the front in so far as heavyweight wrestling is concerned. The two rivals are evenly matched, witti Steele, the Californian, weighing 218. and Marshall, who hails from Colorado, scaling 215. The bout is figured to produce some of the best wrestling seen here in some time, as both artists are skilled in their profession. An all-star card of two bouts will be offered as the supporting program. In the semi-windup. Charlie Strack. 235. the husky who upset Man Mountain Dean here in three, minutes, takes on Hans Buesing.

j the new heavyweight contender is lin popular demand all over the ’ country. One of his handlers is Jack Blackburn, old-time Indianapolis fighter. antt Gold in New York SMART promotion on the part of a newspaper man, a New’ York sports writer, has made college basketball a major sport in Gotham. Now the eastern papers are devoting more space and bigger headlines to the cage pastime. Ned Irish of the New’ York WorldTelegram is the man behind the j move that elevated the collegiate netters to the front 'row in the big town. Irish did not wait for opportunity to knock—he opened the door and made a Lying tackle. Irish staged a double-header in Madison Square Garden on Dec. 29 and again last Saturday night. More than 16,000 attended each program. Irish leased the Garden on his own hook and made a gold strike in the center of New York. And he kissed his sports job goodbv. Ned’s too busy to be annoyed by work. Big Leroy Edwards of Indianapolis played with Kentucky U. in the 1 Garden last Saturday. His team was nosed out by N. Y. U. by one point. nan Pro Classic Tomorrow IF the New York Renaissance team of Negro tossers plays the kind of ball displayed here last year | the customers are assured of an ex--1 citing evening at the Butler Fieldhouse tomorrow’ night. The Kautsky A. C.s will take on the invaders and are set to offer stiff competition. The teams broke even in tw’o tilts last season. In 1934 the Renaissance downed the Kautskys at the Armory and the next time, before a record pro crowd, the Indianapolis cagers trounced the fast-passing quintet in the fieldhouse at Fairview. The Renaissance sharpshooters are Dead Eye Dicks when it comes to twirling the sphere through the hoop and they also know what it takes to get the ball in position for a two-point-er. They are agile, clever and durable. The Kautsky-Renaissance professional games have become regular winter sports features in the Hoosier capital. Tire New York Negro stars will use the same lineup here tomorrow as last year.

Kautskys Set For Renaissance Stars Record Crowd Is Expected at Fieldhouse Tomorrow. The Kautsky-Renaissance basketball game at the Butler fieldhouse tomorrow night promises to be a thriller from start to finish.

DFUIIBACKIOMD HOOSIER hoop struggles are not breaking out in mid-week battles as frequently as was the case a few weeks before the old year faded out. Only one feature tussle is carded for tonight. That affair is a feature, not because the combatants are dangerously powerful, but because the rivals are age-old neighbors with a yen for putting on stirring back-yard wars. Lebanon crosses the fence into Frankfort for the dispute. In the latest altercation, the Tigers had the last w'ord with a 33-to-26 decision.

POWERHOUSE PAUL of Shortridge, whom you will remember as the sea-struck lad who last week buoyed up Shortridge with an essay that spouted sea-faring terms, returns this week disguised as a fireman. Powerhouse dashes into his raincoat, adjusts his helmet, and pours forth the following: “The ball of fire which the Blue Blazers of Shortridge started rolling with devastating effect against the timbers of Greeneastle, and which more recently heated the Cannons of Tech to the exploding point, gained momentum here Friday night and the Lebanon Tigers were completely smothered in the conflagration. “A bulletin issued late today confirmed the report that the Blue Blaze can not possibly be brought under control before late March, and by that time it will have enveloped the entire state!” tt tt tt A LAPEL citizen, glancing over a few of Backboard's remarks concerning the Noblesville game, writes: “Yes, Noblesville did beat us, and it was a rather decisive looking score, and we’ll admit the Bulldogs looked as though they were outclassed, but all teams have off nights now and then. You may remember that Shortridge beat Tech a while back. (F'r goodness sakes, my Lapel friend, are you Insinuating Tech was “off” that night? . . . tsc . . . tsc . . . haven’t you heard about Tech? • • •) “We (meaning Lapel) beat Greenfield on their floor recently, and you know what Greenfield did to Shortridge. “We play a return game with Noblesville Feb. 12, and we meet Lebanon Jan. 16. Please notice these tw r o games when they are played and maybe you will form a better opinion of the Lapel five. Why list Alexandria along with Anderson in the “tough” teams of Madison County? Look at their record, or better still, see them play and you will realize that Bill Perigo’s Markleville Arabians have it all over Alexandria. “A LAPEL READER.” St st ts What ho! When both Mark Ogden of Kokomo and Chic Yarbrough of Frankfort come up with the complaint that Newcastle gym doormen are about as friendly to newspapermen as a bull to a bull-fighter, there must be some truth to the story. Mark describes the Trudger door-tender as “a big fellow accustomed to domineering school children.” while Chic relates that the guard demands “birth certificates, press passes, signatures, photographs and a notarised order” before allowing a gentleman scribbler through the gates. Backboard can't figure it. though. On his recent sojourn in Newcastle, the doormen were quite gracious, and Backboard glided through the turnstile* with hardly a stop. They didn't even ask to see his vaccination mark. * m m Yarbrough also describes Newcastle's Trojans as a team which

Thom, Reynolds In Titular Victories Retain Crown Claims in Hall Mat Bouts. Coach Billy Thom of Indiana University retained his junior middleweight title belt against Cecil (Blacksmith) Pedigo in one of the feature bouts on the wrestling program at Tomlinson Hall last night. After a long tussle Pedigo finally spilled Thom for the first fall, but the popular coach came back to annex the two deciding falls in quick order. Jack Reynolds, welterweight mat champion, also lost the first fall of his feature match with George Gable when the latter obtained a headlock hold after five minutes of action. Reynolds was awarded the bout when Gable was unable to return to the mat for the third fall. Gable was injured as he tumbled from the ring after 22 minutes of the second spill. Les Fishbaugh was disqualified by Referee Westfall for using choking tactics, and the curtain-raiser match was awarded to his opponent, Chief Little Wolf.

Manager Grimm Indicates Chuck Klein’s 1935 Salary Will Remain at High Figure Club Owner and Prexy Says Bruins Probably Will Be Highest Paid Group of Players in Senior Loop Again; Expresses Confidence in Team. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Pres* Staff Cortesnondent CHICAGO, Jan. B.—The Chicago Cubs probably will be the highest paid group of athletes in the National League again the coming season, it was indicated today by their owner-president, Phil K. Wrigley. Wrigley and Charlie Grimm, vice

president and manager, respectively, are making out contracts to mail out this week. It had been assumed that after the Cubs’ dismal collapse last season some mighty slashes would be made in several of the bigger salaries. Chuck Klein, Indianapolis, the biggest individual disappointment of the National League season, publicly announced he expected a salary cut. Manager Grimm replied, “Who said Klein’s salary was going tp be cut?” Undesriable Players Gone President Wrigley’s answer to intimations of lower salaries is: ‘‘We think w 7 e have been fair in our contracts.” Wrigley explained that many of the Cubs who proved disappointments last season had been deposed of, and that the athletes remaining were the kind of players he wanted on his team. The Cubs long have been the best paid players in their league. For instance, the Cubs had a couple of pitchers last year who received more than twice as much money as the Deans, who won 31 more games. Manager Grimm is well satisfied with his present squad, and he wants every man rewarded on the basis of his ability. “I have players now who want to play ball and will fight whether they are winning or losing,” said Grimm. “I know this bunch I have now won’t quit on me.” New Chance for Klein Klein, who received a reported salary of $22,000 last season, was the highest priced player in the National League. Manager Bill Terry of the Giants topped him at $30,000 and Manager Frankie Frisch of the Cardinals received in the neighborhood of Klein’s salary. By all rights Klein, on his work last year, should be slashed 50 per cent, but the £ubs’ owners are not ready to quit on Klein. They want to give him another chance to make good without feeling that he is underpaid, so he may wind up with another big salary out of all proportion to his 1934 W’ork. That may be the incentive which will spur the usually calm Klein back to his 1933 form. There has been a big turnover in the Cubs under the new regime which gives Manager Grimm more control than any Chicago manager since Frank Chance. Only 10 players who went to Catalina Island in 1933 still are around.and only 14 who made the spring training trip last year will go West again this spring.

Muncie Bearcats Feted for Grid Achievements Undefeated North Central Conference Football Squad and Winners of Times Trophy Honored at Banquet. By Times Special MUNCIE, Ind., Jan. B.—Honor was paid to Muncie High School’s 1934 football squad, co-winners of the North Central Indiana Conference championship, with a banquet here last night at which Coach A. N. (Bo) McMiliin of Indiana University was the main speaker.

The Bearcats were undefeated during their 1934 schedule, which consisted of nine games against outstanding competition, and won The Indianapolis Times trophy, “Triumph,” awarded annually to the state’s most outstanding high school football team. Presentation of the trophy, eighth to be given by The Times, was made at the banquet by Dick Mille., welll-known sports WTiter and football official. “Sportsmanship outlives any championship,” Coach McMiliin said in his address before the 300 persons assembled at the banquet. He described football as a character builder. Individual Awards Made Dr. E. C. Davis, former I. U. gridiron player, was toastmaster. Presentation of gifts to visiting athletics directors, coaches and playI ers from schools of the North Central Conference was made by Principal Paul Addison of Muncie. Gold football awards were distributed by Coach Walter Fisher of the championship team to 18 members of his squad. He also presented the school with a trophy given by the North Central Conference to members producing undefeated teams. Jefferson High School of Lafayette was given a similar trophy for its undefeated football season. Jefferson and Muncie tied for the conference title. Official Praises Players Others who took part in the ceremonies included George Yamell, Wabash (Ind.) football official, who paid tribute to the Bearcats for their deportment on the field; D. W. Horton, superintendent of Muncie schools; John Banta, member of the athletics board; Vernon Davis, president of the school board; Dr. Rollin Bunch, Mayor; Frank Harrold, editor of The Muncie Star, and Wilbur Sutton, editor of The Muncie Press. Morris McCarty, Lafayette, president of the conference, was ill and did not attend. In addition to sharing in praise given the players for their undefeated season, Coach Fisher and the Bearcat school were lauded for hanging up enviable records on the gridiron for the last four years.'
