By Eddie Ash STEVIE RETURNS TO THE INDIANS mam RIGGS BATTED .385 HERE IN 1926

CTONEWALL JACKSON RIGGS STEPHENSON, better known as Old Hoss and Stevie, will try to harass the American Association pitchers this year as a member of the Indianapolis Indians. Announcement that he had accepted Tribe terms was made at the Perry Stadium offices late yesterday after a letter, postmarked Akron, Ala., was hooked out of the stack of mail that the postman totes to the ball park every' day. This will be the second time for Steve on the Indianapolis roster. He played with the Hoosiers parts of two seasons. 1925 and 1926, when Ownie Bush was pilot. He blasted A. A. pitching at a .325 pace in 1925 and when his average soared to 385 in 1926 the Chicago Cubs dropped in and purchased the burly outfielder. It was his second trip to the majors, five years having been spent with Cleveland.

The College Waichman Ball player stephe.:son is a gentleman of the Old South and in his college days at Alabama University he was heralded as the •greatest full back in Dixie.” He wrs a battering ram on the gridiron ar.d his cauliflower ears bear out the fact that he mixed up in many bruising contests. He graduated in 1922. Steve denies he was a hired athlete in spite of the fact his tuition was paid by the state. He explain; that Alabama paid him to act as armory watchman to chase away town boys who made a practice of warming up their throwing arms by tossing rocks at the armory windows. Anyway, if Stevie was hired he earned his way by starring .in football, baseball and basketball. 0 0 0 His Punch Xceded OLD HOSS bats and throws right-handed. He was a regular with the Cubs until last year. Following the 1934 tyg league campaign the Bruins made Stevie a free agent and Manager Red Killefer of the Indians lost no time in making an offer to the veteran. Riggs made a oromise that if he failed to catch < with a major club he would sign wnh the Hoosiers. The Indians ne°d some punch in the outfield and S ephenson is expected to supply it. If is acquisition gives the Indians four fly chasers, the others being John Cooney and Tony Cotelle of the 1934 team and John Stoneham, purchased from Tulsa. Cotelle and Stoneham bat left-handed. 000 Hit All in Series Stephenson joined Cleveland before his college days w*-ie over. He played in 65 games with Cleve- j land in 1921 and then went back and finished out his course at Alabar m. He has been with four clubs in organized baseball, Cleveland, the Cubs, Kansas City and Indianapolis. In the world series of 1929 Stevie batted .316 and in the fall classic of 1932 he crashed the ball for .444. He got eight hits in four games. This is the series that went to the New York Yankees in four straight

OFF THFItBAMIAIID by PAUL BDXELLammmemmmmmmmm

OF course the never-say-die spirit exhibitel by Tech last night played a good part in the Campbeilmen's tnrilling last-minute 18-17 victory, but it appeared that a sudden let-dc .*n of morale and unity by the Manual scrappers brought about their own undoing. The Redskins were sailing along with calm, well-timed offensive work in the first half and had the Techmen bottled up effectively. In the third period the South Siders developed a case of “jitters” and as they rounded in the final fourth they went “sky high.”

That is taking no credit from the Big Green basketmen. Hutt and Reedy settled down to some excelent pass-work in the second half, and their deliberate style of play, even though trailing, probably was the factor that unnerved the Manualites. a a a The best performance of the evening was turned in by Morrie Nahmias, Manual's plugging forward. His accuracy on fast hook shots near the bucket kept Manual in a commanding lead in the first half. He was fast and shifty on his feet, and time and again broke up Tech's drives down the floor. Morrie made nine points in the first half. e n n Coach Bridgeford pulled both Nahmias and Cohn out of the tussle in the third quarter and didn't return them to the floor until the game was practically over. . . . Coaches have numerous reasons, usually undivined by the layman, for yanking their players out of games, and it is generally unfair to criticise the mentors when they sub . . but it seemed unfortunate for Manual that Coach Bridgeford saw fit to keep Nahmias on the bench during the crucial part of the contest when the diminutive star was so “hot." . . . Referee Nate Kaufman used his whistle as fluently as a piccolo player dishing out the trio of “Stars and Stripes Forever." . . . Perhaps N ate was catching all the minor i< ils and little what-nots, but he slowed down the games to a lagging tempo. . . . a a a SOME guys are never satisfied. This from Marion: Mr. Boxell—ln the first place I don’t like the rating tj|at you gave Marion in your list of the first 10 teams of the state. I think the Giants will be the runnersup, if not the winners of the state tourney, and I back that statement with wallet or pistol. No kidding. I'm warning you that Marion will play at the state tourney in at least two games. Yours, PETE. • a a a And from Noblesville: Dear Off The Blackboard—You are always talking about Mooresville and such teams, but you hardly ever mention Noblesville's Millers, who have won 14 straight games after losing to Martinsville with but two days practice. N. H. S. Bless mx flour bin! And here I was expectin* a reprimand anr dav for pointing too often at that Miller record! a a a IT appears that coaches are getting over-zealous to start players out young learning the figure eight, the merry-go-round, etc. In the Tech-Manual rhinie mixup the other afternoon, the Manual yearlings got to whirling around so fast one youngster wound up at the wrong end of the gym and shot at the wrong basket—making it, of course. In the final analysis the goal proved the losing mar*

tilts when Babe Ruth went on a rampage, called his shots and crushed the Cubs. Stevie is 35 years old. His best 1 big league “ecords were in 1924, when he batted .371 for Cleveland, and in 1929 and 1930, when he smote I the sphere at the heavy pace of .362 and .367 with Chicago. 000 Derbg Week Featured LOUISVILLE will feature a ‘ Derby Week” this year t.s well as | the annual “Dei by Day.” Purses for all races during ‘‘Derby Week” will be stepped up to attract the best stables and to afford better enter - l tamment for the customers. Kentucky Derby broadcasting rights will be sold instead of given away and ; the radio money will be added to the j purses. Colonel Matt G. Winn, the head I man of the Kentucky Derby, is us- ! ing his influence with Louisville business men to put the soft pedal on gouging the visitors with hiked up prices on Derby eve and Derby Day. The Chamber of Commerce also is assisting in the campaign to crack down on hotels and restaurants that have been in the habit of charging excessive prices. The Dei by will be run on Saturday, May 4. It will be the sixty-first renewal of America’s chief horse race. tt tt tt Tennis Date Changed PROFESSIONAL tennis players now barnstorming the nation will appear at Butler University fieldhouse Monday night, Jan. 28, instead of Jan. 25, because of a conflict with a high school basketbail game between Shortridge and Cathedral at the fieldhouse next week. The change was unavoidable, but it should result in a better brand of tennis because it gives the pro stars a chance to rest Friday and Sunday preceding their local appearance. Saturday night they play at Chicago. “Big Bill’’ Tilden. Ellsworth Vines and the holders of the world’s amateur doubles crown —George Lott and Lester Stoefen, comprise the

foursome w’hich will make its only Hoosier appearance at Indianapolis.

Anderson’s two-point topper over Frankfort wasn’t an upset. . . . Just a case of mistaken, ability. ... A little surprising was the top-heavy margin oy which Richmond buried Kokor.io —35-16. . . . Some didn't expect the Loganberries to wind up seven points to the good against Newcastle. either Berrrv string is started again. . . . That’s two straight. . . .

Tech Uncorks Drive to Trip Manual, 18-17 East Siders Remain in City Tourney in Thrilling Net Battle. A whirlwind game featured the I opening in the varsity division of the city tourney as Tech nosed out Manual, 18-to-17, at the Tech gym | last night. Manual held the upper hand i throughout the contest until the ; last few minutes of action, when the j Techmen staged a rally of de- | termined proportions. Goals by Brandon and Cohn and three successful free throws by Nahmias gave the Redskins a 7 to 3 lead in the first quarter. Mocas tallied Tech’s three markers. Manual Ahead at Half Nahmias connected on three onehanded attempts from the vicinity of the foul circle as Mocas was scoring another goal and a charity toss and the Redskins were ahead, 13-to--6, at the half. Mocas, Tech's center, was responsible for all points garnered by the Campbellmen in the first half. Reedy moved to center for Mocas and McCleery came in at guard fur Tech. Meier made good on two free tosses, Hutt one, and Reedy drove under for a field goal, while the South Siders were held scoreless by a w r ell-balanced Tech defense in the third quarter, making the score 13 to 11. Battle Stays Close As the fourth quarter opened Briggs, replacing Cohn at center for Manual, made good a gift toss and Schwomeyer rang up his lone basket of the tilt to run Manual’s lead to 16 to 11. Coach Bridgeford sent in Hunt for Nahmias. Hutt dribbled tne length of the floor to score and Reedy located the hoop, slicing the difference to 16-15. Mocas returned to the fray, but was expelled a minute later on his fourth personal foul. Hutt went under again to give Tech the lead, 17-16. Divle, diminutive Green guard, afforded the winning point on a successful free toss. Briggs made a charity throw as the game ended. Schedule for tournament play today: 1 P.

Slagel Pits Rough Style Against Marshall’s Skill Rivals in Feature Hercules Mat Battle Tuesday Are Exponents of Opposite Types of Attack. It will be skill and mat science vs. rough and tumble tactics if Sol Slagel, 255, and Everett Marshall, 218, live up to past performances when they tangle in the main-go attraction on the Hercules A. C. wrestling card next Tuesday night at the Armory.

Slagle, a former University of Kansas grid star, is capable of “wrestling it out,” but he features a two-fisted style of offense which has gained him most of his victories. The Topeka husky has won and lost in tussles with Joe Savoldi and still boasts of “chasing” Savoldi out of the ring in New York. He has been running rough shod over his opponents since returning for appearances at the Armory. Although of the aggressive type, Marshall usually prefers to play the part of a “gentleman.” When aroused, however, hs can “give and take” in rapid-fire order. He is rated by many as the matman who eventually will succeed Jim Londos as heavyweight champion. Though he has lost to the Greek star, he also boasts a three-hour draw with him. Asa special semi-windup, Charlie Strack, 225, Boston, will attempt to “tame” Big Boy Davis, 235, Columbus, O. It promises to be a snappy bout in view of the fact that both grapplers are rated “toughies” of the first order. A prelim will open the card at 8:30.

Packers Take on Florals Tomorrow Moose Krause to Play Here; Firestones Downed. Following their surprise upset of the strong Firestone Tire five of Akron, 0., at the Pennsy gym last night, 33 to 28, the fast-going Hilgemeier Packers of Indianapolis will tackle the Chicago Florals here tomorrow afternoon at the National Guard Armory. Action will begin at 2:45. The Fletcher Trust and Indianapolis Glove teams will meet in a curtain raiser. It will be the second visit of the Florals to Indianapolis, the Packers having won the first tilt in a close contest. Moose Krause, former all-America center at Notre Dame, will perform in the return game with the Chicago pro netters. Firestones led at the end of the first quarter, 7 to 4, and then Cy Proffitt of the locals tallied twice from the field to launch the Hilgemeiers on a spurt which tied the game, 14 to 14, just before the half ended. The lead changed hands frequently in the second half until near the end of the fracas when Bud Coffin, Proffitt and Elmer Yohler cut loose with fancy shots to pull the game out for the Packers. Proffitt of the locals and Alexander of the Firestones were high scorers, with five field goals apiece. It w r as the thirteenth victory in a row for the Hilgemeiers this season.

Spending part of the off-sea-son on a rubbing bench is the program being followed by Chuck Klein this winter. The Indianapolis slugger with the Chicago Cubs was injured last season and his batting average suffered a severe slump. It was a leg injury that failed to respond to treatment, and Chuck was unable to put his full weight into his swings at the sphere. “What I need is some hometown treatment,” Klein said when he returned last fall. Thereupon he looked up his old friend Jim (Hump)* Pierce, expert trainer of athletes and now the trainer of the Louisville ball club. The above picture shows Pierce giving the high-priced Bruin star the “works.” The basement of the Spalding snorting goods store is Humps “horsepital” as he digs away at Chuck’s underpinning. “He’ll be just like new when I finish this job,” the genial Hump stated today. “Send along that word to Charlie Grimm, so the Cubs’ boss can get some shut-eye. This specimen under my thumbs is still young, but it happens that the charley horse he has been carrying around with him is a little old. However, I have picked up a lot of valuable horse information in Louisville.” Klein is spending much time on the bowling alleys and the exercise is helping the Hoosier Hercules recover his old strength. Jim Pierce was trainer of the Indianapolis club several seasons and before that served in the same capacity at Purdue University. He also is trainer of the local Park School football team. Pierce resides in Indianapolis and used to be a ball player and minor league manager.

Solution Near in Baseball Problem Boston Braves Expect to Retain Park. By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 19.—The Boston Braves have been taken away from the dogs and given back to their rightful owners, but it took 13 hours to make the exchange. The Braves will continue playing at Braves Field and the dogs will be shooed to other premises, according to expectations expressed in a statement yesterday after National League directors and President Ford Frick had sat through one of the longest sessions the circuit has known. The “problem” has been to find out whether the Braves would continue in the league after their lease on Braves field had been broken and the park turned over to a dogracing syndicate. Judge Fuchs, who is president of the club, -and Charles Francis Adams, vice president, were to confer immediately at Boston with “interested parties” unrepresented at the meeting, they said. This was taken to mean that they would try to reach an agreement with the Commonwealth Realty Cos., which represented the Gaffney Estate, owners of Braves field.

Barna Downs McClure in 2 Hard Matches Local Table Tennis Expert Praised by Veterans for Fine Showing. Jimmy McClure, Indianapolis’ national table tennis champion, lost to the world s champion. Viktor Barna, Hungary, here last night, 21 to 18, each time in their two-game match. However, the young local expert took the measure of Sandor Glancz, Hungary, co-holder with Barna of the world's doubles title, 21-19, 21-13. Earlier in the day the local expert had carried Barna three games. McClure,. who is 18, won high praise from veterans of the game for his performances. More seasoning against top competition, a little more relaxation, they opined, and Jimmy may replace Barna as undisputed ruler in the fast-spreading paddle sport. Jimmy will accompany the troupe, with which he has been touring this country, to London next month for the world’s championships. Jimmy Takes Early Lead A capacity crowd witnessed the matches, played at the Hoosier Athletic Club. No more than four points ever separated McClure and Barna in the first game of their match last night. Jimmy led at 8-6 and again 15-11, but Barna employed his uncanny backhand skill to halt the local pride’s drive and won, 21-18. In the second game Jimmy took the lead at the start and was ahead 9-4 before Barna began to score consistently. The champion then tied it at 11-all and drove on to a 15-11 advantage. Jimmy fought like a tiger to tie it up at 17-all and went ahead 18-17, but Barna stopped him there, winning by a 21-18 score again. Barna Whips Glancz Barna was the winner over Glancz in a special exhibition, 21-18, 21-17, and the two teamed to defeat Lester Adams, Indianapolis, state champion, and Ned Steele, Huntington, in a doubles encounter, 21-14, 21-7. Glancz defeated Coleman Clark, Chicago, former national champion, in a singles tilt, 21-15, 21-19, and Barna downed Dick Mills, Indianapolis, 21-14, 21-4, in the initial match of the evening. AFTERNOON SCORES Viktor Barna defeated Jimmy McClure, 21-13. 17-21, 21-18. 2 fßarna defeated Sandor Glancz, 21-18, Glancz defeated Jerry Jacobs, 21-14, 21-13. Barna defeated Joel Inman. 21-9, 21-5.

Flyweight Boxing Stars ii Golden Glove Field Shorty Waggoner, City Champion in 112-Pound Class, Is Among Many New Entrants.

BOXING fans who love to see “little fellows’’ mix in the ring are assured of top-notch entertainment along that line in The TimesLegion Golden Gloves tournament with entry today of Ray (Shorty) Waggoner, city flyweight champion. Waggoner, 112-pound slugger, showed outstanding ability in winning the city title in the recent Marion County tourney. He is being trained

by Porter Stewart. Johnnie Smerdel, who lost to Waggoner in the final of the county event, also is listed among nearly a score of new entries received today. Smerdel put on a highlypleasing performance in his county preliminary bout before being halted by Waggoner in the title mix. The city flyweight champ will compete in the open class in the Golden Gloves tourney, while Smerdel has been entered in the Novice class. Both represent the Washington A. C. 000 THE Washington club also has announced entry of Frank Duke, 147 pounds, in the Open class; George Bills, 135, Open; William Lloyd Madden, 126, Novice, and Bill Brownlee, lightweight, Novice.
