By Eddie Ash EARLY WORLD SERIES THIS YEAR m m m CLASSIC MAY START ON SEPT. 29

Baseball is to have an “early” world series this year. The 1935 diamond classic probably will begin on Sept. 29, the earliest since 1932 when the New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs opened the autumnal feature on Sept. 28. Both big league schedules v\ ill close on Sept. 26, four days earlier than last year. The 1935 championship will be over in ample time to permit the big football teams to take charge of the headlines. The major races will open on April 16. The American Association also will lift the lid that day. Red Killefcr s Indianapolis Indians will do all of their spring training in Kentucky, at Mayfield, and they won't show on the home lot until April 22. Red is sure to have the Hoosiers in the pink by that time. The Columbus champions will supply the visiting attraction.

Champ Speaks Out Max Baer declares he means it when he says he wants to defend his title in two ten-round bouts the same night against different opponents. Jack Dempsey thinks it's a great idea and would draw a capacity crowd. The heavyweight champ commented: “They pay real money for ideas, even crazy ones I'd take 25 per cent and the other two guys :ould divide 25 more between them. They say I’m crazy. What if I am crazy? Only the crazy guys are making money and I’m doing well for myself.’* Baer also reveals that he is serious about engaging in 10-round exhibition bouts after he completes a program of four-rounders. And he wants regulation gloves used in the 10-rounders. He says: “I wish Camera had given me the same opportunity as I'm giving these guys. They can all step up and take a shot at the Baer lug and earn some real money. What can they lose? I won t belt them out unless they get fresh, like Levinsky. “You should have heard Leaping Lena, the Kingftsh's sister manager, bawl him out in the dressing room. 'Val, Mr. Smart Guy,' she shouted, ‘you had to get fresh with the champ. Such a low lifer. Now maybe Lena has to go back to burlesque for a living.' ” mam Clown Act Pays TJAER believes Primo Camera ■*“* would make the best drawing card with nim at present and the California Adonis wants to defend his title over the long route this summer against the best man available. If Steve Hamas beats Max Schmeling m Germany, Steve will be the outstanding challenger instead of Camera. Max flattened both Schmeling and Primo, the Italian. Discussing his battles with Schmeling and Baer chirped: “They say the heat got Schmeling. Did I have an electric fan in my corner? Camera says he broke a leg in the first round. Yet he was outrunning Bonthron for ten rounds after that. “I clown a lot. but that clowning is helping put the fight game back on its feet. The fans love it. In Boston I had ’em in the aisles. Persons nowadays want laughs with their entertainment.” a m m 25 For Xcw York U. THE basketball team of New York University that defeated Notre Dame and Kentucky in intersectional games knocked off the strong Temple Owls this week. Temple won nine in a row before bowing before the Violent Violets. N. Y. U. has won nine straight tilts this season and has extended its two-season victory march to 25.

THIS “forward to guard” basketball play uses the jumping centers as pivot blockers. X-l makes his tap to the forward. X-2. As the centers go up for the tap, the guard, X-3, cuts directly for them and then suddenly reverses his direction to circle around the centers. Executed properly, 0-3 would find himself effectually blocked. X-2 makes the assisting pass to X-3 as the latter cuts for the basket.

ceeded in doing wonders with the Violet basketeers. ana Football as a Lark Footballs latest offspring is competition among collegiate 150-pound teams in the East. They are made up of players too light for the heavy varsity grind and who do not measure up to “big league” qualifications. A Conference of 150-pound elevens has been organized. Members are Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Rutgers and Lafayette. Other colleges probably will join up later. Next fall a weekly standing will be kept and published like the practice followed in the Big Ten varsity ranks. George ijittle, athletics director at Rutgers, sees a great future in it. The 150-pound team at “I’ll Die for Dear Old Rutgers” drew 12.000 total attendance last fall and paid its way. Frenzied football is absent in these games. Teams don't scout each other and the players and student followers take the sport as quite a lark. And it keeps the lads outdoors until the snow flies. Gene Will Be There GENE JUNKEN of Shelbyville, the 1934 Indianapolis Golden Gloves tournament heavyweight champion, is now boxing as a professional, but he has not forgotten the pleasure he received w r hen in the amateur ranks. He writes The Times as follows: “Just a line to wish you luck in the third annual Golden Gloves tourney and to wish every boy entered the best of luck and may every one sometime be a TimesLegion Golden Gloves champ and get the trip to Chicago. “Although I have turned pro I will be there yelling and pulling for the boys and will do all I can to bring a crowd to support the 'event. Yours for fair play, clean fun and a strong Chicago team.”

Ruth Has $75,000 Offer to Travel With Circus

BY LAWTON CARVER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Jan. 18.—Babe Ruth of the coming summer won’t be wearing a Yankee uniform if he finally decides to accept an offer he has under consideration. He will be out in the tall timber atop an elephant preceded by a calliope playing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” The Babe has a $75,000 bid for his services as a circus performer.

Whether he accepts depends largely upon what occurs during the next few weeks, prior to his arrival from Paris, where he is stopping en route home from a baseball tour of the Orient. If offered a managerial position in baseball. Ruth probably will remain in the game. But he has announced he won’t play another season. and $75,000 for a summer of any kind of work would look good even to the affluent Babe. The offer was made before he sailed from New York by Joseph Tamburri of Stamford. Conn., representing Zack Miller, who is reorganizing the 101 Ranch Show. The Babe didn’t make a definite reply and during his absence negotiations have been carried on between Tamburri and Christy Walsh, the Babe’s business manager. Tamburri has offered the $75,000 or a privilege of 30 per cent of the gross. Walsh is holding out in the Babes behalf for 55 per cent and there they are deadlocked until the home run king returns. Besides parading on the elephant, the Babe would appear in a special

Grimm Thinks Cards, Giants Will BeTough Believes Chicago Should Be Among First Three in Senior Race. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Ini ted Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 18.—Charlie Grimm has a sore left wing, and that's the reason this story developed. The Chicago Cubs’ manager tried to do an Immelman turn on a pair of skates in Lincoln Park the other night, and lost the decision to the frozen pond. When we found him today at the Medinah Athletic Club under a big arc lamp he was willing to talk about anything to forget the pain in his sore arm. “Who’s going to win the National League pennant?” he was asked. Oh, Yes, the Deans “The Cardinals, Giants or Cubs," Grimm promptly replied. “Who’s the favorite?” “The Cards." “Why?" “They have the best pitching staff, and the most punch. They have a swell manager in Frankie Frisch who'll fight every inch of the way. The club is young and they have plenty of speed. And they have the two Deans, who'll probably be just as good as they were last year." “What about the Giants?” “They’ll be just as good as they were a year ago, and maybe better. Parmelee, in shape all year, will give them more pitching strength, Bartell is likely to help th£m at short and Davis may help the outfield.” “What about your team?" Wants ’Em to Hustle “I'm not claiming any pennant for the Cubs. I think we’ll be among the first three. I know one thing: This club I have assembled will put on a finish. I won’t have a ball player working for me this season who won’t hustle and fight every step of the way every day against every club. Every batter is going to tun out his ball, I don’t care where he hits it. Any player who wants to loaf won’t be with the Cubs long. “I think our trades have improved the Cubs. If Lindstrom comes through the way I expect him to we'll have the best infield in the league. I also expect our outfield of Klein, Stainback and Cuyler or Demaree to be the best trio in the league. Our pitching staff may not be quite as strong as the Cards or Giants, but we hope to make up for that deficiency with more speed, more hustle and better all-around strength in the infield and outfield.” I. U. MAT CHAMPIONS IN 2 CHICAGO MEETS By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 18Coach Billy Thom’s Indiana University wrestling team, defending Big Ten champions, will perform against two mat squads at Chicago this week-end. The Crimson grapplers will engage the McKinley Park team tonight and the Chicago University squad in a conference opener tomorrow night. The McKinley Park outfit is conceded to be the tougher opposition, having given Chicago University a 28-3 trouncing earlier this season. Dale Goings, former Indiana captain and Big Ten 145-pound champ, is on the McKinley squad. TECH FRESHMEN WIN Tech High School’s freshman net squad triumphed over the Manual yearlings, 16 to 14, yesterday afternoon at the East Side gym. The Manuel freshies led at the half, 8 to 6, but Tech forged ahead at the end of the third period, 9 to 8. and never relinquished its slim margin.

act which would include fungo-hit-ting and talks to youngsters. He would supplant the famous cowboy performers who have toured with the show. Tom Mix included, and his act would be the headliner on the program made up otherwise of Western attractions. Tamburri has worked out the Babe's part in the show—even to his parading on the elephant behind the calliope—and believes that the Babe virtually is under the big ton The salary would be more than Ruth could make in baseball, and he probably would get as much of a kick out of circusipg as the public would in watching him.

NORTH CENTRAL CONFERENCE aggregations are rounding into the home stretch with spirited battles still raging for “place” positions in the circuit standings. Logansport and Jeff of Lafayette are running a dead heat for the pole spot, and Anderson, by tripping Newcastle this week, drew within nipping distance of the Trojans for the runner-up space. Marion, Kokomo and Frankfort vary little in the ratings for third place.

Here’s how these seven stack up before tonight's encounters: W L Pet.

If Logansport beats Newcastle, the Wellsmen once again will take undisputed command. If Newcastle wins, Abie Masters’ Jeffmen will take over the controls. Other changes may occur. Other Conference tilts are Anderson at Frankfort and Richmond at Kokomo. tt a tt “Mah eracious. man!” says Eddie of Rloomington, ‘‘you said Bloomington led Mitchell 18-12 at halftime, and finally won. 21-20.

Shortridge has won six of nine tussles and Washington six of eight. Other teams have lost more than they have won. Manual has copped three, Tech two, and Ripple can’t get over the hump. Tech has faced the toughest schedule, but the Green was trimmed by Shortridge. So that narrows it to the Blue Devils and the Continentals. Total points compiled by the Blue this season tops its opposition by 21. Washington scores 6um up 12 above the rivals. The pastimers have stopped five straight, including Kokomo and Martinsville, compared to four in a row for the Continentals. Shortridge needs play only two games to grab the pennant.

Indiana Ready for Mix With League Leader Crimson Will Try to Drop lowa from Big Ten Top Tomorrow Night. By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 18— Indiana University’s basketball team today completed preparations for a Big Ten tilt with lowa, conference leader, on the Hawkeyes’ floor at lowa City tomorrow night. Many look upon Indiana as the only team with a chance of stopping the Hawkeyes in their drive to the Big Ten title. lowa has beaten Northwestern, Ohio State, Minnesota, and Michigan and will not meet Purdue, Illinois, or Wisconsin. lowa has a speedy, high-scoring quintet which has been employing a fast-breaking offense that has been catching its opponents on their heels. In four conference games, the Hawkeyes have averaged 37 points per game, a feat which tops the heap. Indiana, however, also has been ci-acking away at the basket, and is in fourth place with a 32.3 average. Another proof of lowa's effectiveness at hitting the hoop is the fact that four of the lowa regulars are among the first 11 in the Conference scoring race. Barko, considered one of the best, if not the best, forwards in the league, leads the race with 42 points, an average of 10.5 points per game. It was Barko who pulled the Minneosta game out of the fire in an overtime Monday night. He registered 16 points during the lilt. Cocaptain Kehrt of Indiana is seventh in the race, but has played one less game than the leaders. He has scored 28 points for an average of 9.3, which is next to Barko’s per game tally. EXPECT 13,000 AT GAME By Times Special lOWA CITY, Jan. 18.—A capacity crowd of 13,000 persons is expected to watch lowa defend its Big Ten lead against, Indiana University here tomorrow night. lowa is Unbeaten in conference play. If the Hawkeyes can defeat Indiana, they believe they will win the title race. Two of the strongest teams on lowa’s schedule, Northwestern and Minnesota, were defeated on the road and should be at a disadvantage when they come here. Although John Barko, lowa forward, leads Big Ten scoring with 42 points, he is second in pointgathering on his own team for the season. Ivan Blackmer, center, has accounted for 77 points.

set his heart on offering stiff opposition to Barna and Glancz, who are undisputed world's doubles champions, before his Indianapolis admirers. He has been heartened in his aim by scoring victories over both Barna and Glancz during the tour. He negotiated his second triumph of the trip over Glancz this week when he took a set from the Hungarian ace in Omaha, 15-21, 21-13, 21-12. Barna is world’s singles champ. McClure nas not yet succeeded in taking a set from Barna, but has broken through the chamDion’s amazing defensive skill to win four games in recent matches. Jimmy is extremely anxious to capture an entire set from Barna, as the Budapest marvel represents the class of Europe, where the paddle art is more advanced, and Jimmy will be up against a galaxy of European and British champions when he participates in the world tournament in London beginning Feb. 8. The time is growing short, and the 18-year-old Indianapolis youth hopes to turn the trick against the champions in his home stand today.'

Davis Paired With Strack in Mat Bout Big Boy and Charlie to Mix on Slagel-Marshall Grappling Bill. A special semi-windup bout between a pair of grapplers who feature a two-fisted style of offense has been arranged for the Hercules A.

The tussle brings together Big Boy Davis, rough and tumble expert, and Charlie Strack, the Boston husky who almost “made the grade” in a bout with Ed (Strangler) Lewis last Tuesday. Both Davis and Strack scale around 235 and their meeting is expected to produce no small amount of action. At least, it is figured to serve as a fast “warmup’ tangle for the main go which will see Sol (rubber ball) Slagel. 255. in action against the high-powered Everett Marshall, 218. Slagel has been stepping along in fast, but rough fashion here recently and the majority of fans have been waiting for an opponent to come ajpng with the ability to give him the “works.” Marshal! might be the one.
