By Eddie A^h MORE INVOLVED THAN JUST i>OGS B B B | GAMBLING MANIA SWEEPS NATION

CONGRATULATIONS are in order to Ford Frick, the lloosier-ljorn president of the National League. Newon the job after succeeding the veteran John Heydler, the former college professor and newspaperman was confronted with one of the hardest problems in baseball history shortly after being inducted into office. The Boston Nationals hit the financial rocks and a dog racing gambling syndicate was on the point of taking over the Braves’ ball park, leaving the ball club homeless. There was an easy solution, but Prexy Frick chose the hard way. The owners of the park suggested that the ball club use the park in the day and the dog race men use it at night. Frick, however, was smart enough to see a menace to aU well-conducted sports if baseball and dog racing were allowed to mix. A meeting of National League club owners was called and announcement was made that the Braves had been rescued and will play at the same old stand, leaving the senior major league intact without resorting to any kind of a hook-up with the gambling fraternity.

All Resources Assembled PRESIDENT FRICK declined to go into details about what methods were used to save the Braves, but he assured all questioners that he would have all of the answers at a later date. It is believed however, that Frick succeeded in convincing his club owners to vote to advance from the league treasury a sufficient sum to place the Boston club back on its feet. President Emil Fuchs of the Braves already was submerged in red ink to the league and outside creditors, but Frick decided the Boston emergency called for all resources of his organization to be placed at the disposal of the Boston club. Reports today indicated SIOO,000 had been throw n into the breach to enable the ball team to fight off the dog race promoters. B B B Mania of Gambling ORGANIZED baseball has put up an admirable scrap against gambling and gamblers and only now and then has gambling besmirched the diamond sport. Baseball fought the baseball pool ticket swindle time and again and with very little co-operation and encouragement from the agencies of the law. Somebody has to fight the new mania of gambling that is sweeping the country and the National League accepted the challenge at Boston. College football awakened to the evil last fall when professional gamblers horned into the game by flooding the country with all types of sucker "combinations.” In many instances the gamblers disappeared and made no pay-off when the customers picked the upsets.

OFF Tffi^BACKBDAKD VERY little eyebrow raising was occasioned by the events of the past week-end "It s March in January" was the theme song in all sections of the state, with the Wabash Valley tourney getting under way, city tourneys, and numerous county meets in one of the mo:o inercsting of the countv affairs Pittsboro once again proved its supremacy over Plainfield Pittsboro beat the Quakers in the final tilt of the Hendricks County meet, 33 to 30. Plainfield now lists two setbacks, and both of them were administered by undefeated Pittsboro .. The Burros extended their winning streak to 17 straight with the three victories gained in the tourney the biggest upset of the Wabash Valley merry-go-round was tlie eliminiation of Sullivan by Dugger.. .and,

oh yeah, Indianapolis had a city tourney, too . but it wouldn't be safe to call that final game an upset.. Logansport and Franklin swung into their regular strides again.. Bedford fell out of line at Washington the Friddlemen are proving difficult to handle on their home floor and the Hatchets will play both the sectional and regional on their own hardwood . Jeffersonville’s string rose to 15 Cathedral bowed to the Demons Friday night the Red Devils found it a little tougher in Louisville, where Male High put up a game fight before losing, 30-26. a a a Berne had little trouble in the Adams County round-robin . . . Central of Ft. Wayne took two decisive victories, Richmond annexed a pair. Wabash ditto, Warsaw beat Elkhart to stay unbeaten, and Hartford City finally won a game . . . and hooray for old I. U.! . . . the balance of power in Hoosierdom has shifted no little since 10 days ago, so Backboard asks to rectify his big ten: 1. Jeffersonville. 2. Logansport. 3. Franklin. 4. Anderson. 5. Marion. 6. Bloomington. 7. Emerson of Gary. 8. Xoblesville. 9. Warsaw. 10. Washnigton (Hatchets). a a a Washington's Continentals deserve praise aplenty from Indianapolis fans for their fine performance in the city tourney. They earned the title. Their play was spectacular in the light of clever pass-work and they turned m cool, aggressive workmanship in both their skirmishes. It's hardly believable the Continentals are as "hot on the hoop" always as they were in that Shortridge scuffle. Those wideawake West Siders couldn't miss that net. FYom every angle, on every style of toss, it was usually “swish.” Sartor undoubtedly is an expert marksman, but the way that sphere made for the hoop every time he heaved it was startling—even to Sartor. Short ridge's Blue Devils lived up to their "five straight" in the afternoon against Tech, and it was the general opinion that the North Siders would take Washington in stride. a a a The Blue Devils developed furrow’s on their brows in the very beginning when the skillful ballhandling and uncanny accuracy of the Continentals grew better with each basket made. a a a EVERY player on Coach Roland Jones’ team turned in sparkling jobs in that final fracas. It is impossible to point to one player as the Washington star. Dietz. Sartor, Hooser, Lasley. Emrick. Macy— Washington is proud of all of them. With the two tourney triumphs, the Continentals now list six straight

Confidence of Public THE attitude of the National League ; .nd Judge K. M. LanI dis, backed by the American League I. nd the minors, to keep baseball parks separated from dog racing and horse racing, and any other form of legalized gambling promotion. is based on maintaining the confidence of the public in the naI tional pastime. The baseball magnates believe that punning any type of activity ; which calls for open gambling in a oall park would tend to break down that confidence and cause the fans to become suspicious of the integrity of anything conducted on the same premises. a a b Pro Rivals Confer NOW it is said the local professional basketball "war” is going to be settled after all . The Kautskys and Hilgemeier Packers drifted apart recently when there was a controversy over terms when a three-game series was proposed. Well, it looks like it’s going to be a “go” this time. At any rate another conference of Kautsky and Packer officials has been called to pour the oil on the troubled clauses. When and if the rivals collide the scene will be the National Guard Armory on some Sunday afternoon or at Butler fieldhouse on a week-night. The powerful quintets met once last year and the Packers downed the Kautskys, 30 to 26. The current scheme is expected to result in an agreement for two - best - out -of - three on a 60-40 basis, the winner to take the 60 per cent of total gate receipts.

BENN'TcAPLAN GaTn~S DRAW WITH MILLER By United Prcts LONDON. Jan. 21.—Benny Caplan. British featherweight, has done what no other European boxer has been able to do against Freddie Miller of Cincinnati. 0., on a victory march for several months. Caplan held the American to a 10-round draw last night, although he was knocked down in the fifth, and saved only by the bell. Miller won the early rounds and held a lead in the last rounds, but Caplan, a fast, smart boxer, piled up suffi- ! cient points in between to get an even break.

Dirt Track Auto Racing Has Attention of A. A. A. Drivers, Cars and Tracks Will Be Reclassified in Move to Bring Greater Speed Thrills. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. —Greater thrills on America’s auto racing courses are in store for 1935 as a result of the decision of the contest board of the American Automobile Association to completely revamp dirt track racing.

The national governing body of the sport has ordered a reclassification of drivers, cars and tracks and on this move rests the promise of even closer competition in the coming season than was seen during 1934’s successful campaign. Under the new arrangement, cars of relative speed will be brought together in various classes and drivers of like ability will comprise the entry list resulting in more thrilling races. Prize moneys paid to drivers will be effected by the reclassification program with the purse being raised in certain instances. This move, in the opinion of race leaders, will result in building of faster and better racing automobiles. The program as outlined by the contest board and placed in the hands of a committee of nationally prominent members of the governing body, will affect every section of the United States except the Pacific Coast, where such a classification has been carried out in the last several years. This remodeling process will have no bearing on the 500-mile International Sweepstakes on the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway next May 30. The SIOO,OOO prize purse there again will attract the nation's greatest drivers and most expensive cars to the brick course.

Point Getters _________ By Nat Holman [® L 3.ON an out-of-bounds play in basketball, here is a good maneuver to work. As the ball goes out, X-2 and X-3 form a vertical line. In proper defensive play, 0-2 and 0-3 would take their stands directly in front of their respective opponents. X-2 starts the play by cutting back and away from the passer. X-3 darts in between X-2 and 0-2, and thereby brings 0-2 and 0-3 into each other’s way. X-3 takes the pass from X-l under the basket. Giants Score Early to Nip Coast Squad By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 21.—The New York Giants, monarths of the professional football world, showed 25,000 fans and the Pacific Coast All-Americas the stuff that won them the championship in defeating the Coast All-Stars yesterday, 21-0. The Giants put together two quick touchdowns in the first period, then took things easy, scoring only once during the remaining 45 minutes. A short forward pass flipped by Ed Danowski to Red Flaherty accounted for the first touchdown. A Pacific Coast fumble on the 21-yard line, a series of rushes, and a short buck by Ken Strong tallied the second. Strong converted each time. The Giants picked up their touchdown in the third period when Dale Burnett went over on a pass play. Danowski converted.

Stoefen’s Rise to Fame in Tennis Is Meteoric Pro Netter Who Will Play Vines in Singles Here Flashedto Top Ranks in One Season. Lester Stoefen, youngest member of the professional tennis troupe which will play at the Butler University Fieldhouse next. Monday night, flashed from comparative obscurity to fame in a single season.

The well-built, curly-haired blond from California, who is only 23 years old, entered his first national tournament in 1932 and made a remarkable showing, losing only to Ellsworth Vines, the ultimate champion, A year later Stoefen shared the national doubles championship with George Lott, triumphed over four outstanding rivals in singles play before losing to Fred Perry of England, w T ho went on to capture the title, and earned a ranking as America’s third best player. Since teaming together in doubles play for the first time in 1933, Stoefen and Lott have been inseparable friends and only Stoefen’s desire to gain a place on Uncle Sam’s Davis Cup squad prevented Lott from deserting amateur ranks at the close of the 1933 campaign. Together they made a clean sweep in international competition last season and when Lott turned pro a few weeks ago it was only natural that Stoefen should follow suit. They will team together against Vines and Big Bill Tilden in the featured doubles match at the fieldhouse next Monday night and both will appear in singles play. Lott will face Tilden and Stoefen will clash with Vines.
