Rough Sol May Find Marshall Technique Bad Mat Medicine

Sol Slagel, 255, the burly Kansas matman who has been “tumbling ’ his way to local triumphs, is "on the spot.” Whether or not he “runs to cover’’ or stands up and battles his way to another triumph will be determined at the Armory tomorrow night when he comes to grips with Everett Marshall, 218, the flashy Colorado star. Marshall and Slagel clash in the main go on the Hercules A. C. wrestling bill.

BY BERNARD HARMON When Paul Stemm cracked out a 697 leries and Oscar Behrens a 639, the twe-man combination outscored an entry of 92 teams in the Central doubles tournament held over the week-end. Using a handicap of 16 pins their grand total was 1352, which was 29 pins better than the second place duo of Quass and Stark. The latter team, with Quass at 644, and Stark at 601, received a 78-pin handicap, giving them a 1323 total. Harry Wheeler, who has been crashing the maples for huge totals of late, connected for the best individual total of the tourney, a 715, which with A -67 from his partner. Bob Kelley, and a gift of 34 pins netted them third p.ace on 1313. Others to finish in the money were Pete-Kaga (186) 1303, WallsGodwin (170) 1295, Deery-Pfeiffer (150) 1294, Hamilton-Leppert (52) 1288, Montimer-Blue (70) 1285 and Roe-Ten Eyck (60) 1262. John Blue, rolling three times over the two days, pounded the maples for series of 701, 667 and 657. Dan Abbott also was in the 700 class, posting a 714 in his appearance. A 659 by Walt Heckman was another outstanding individulal count. Indianapolis bowlers fared well in match games with out-of-town opposition yesterday, Gregory & Appel and Berghoff Beers emerging victorious over foreign foes. The Gregory’s journeyed to Muncie where they outscored the City Recreation Five, 2762 to 2685. Johnnie Murphy was the only individual of this series to pass the 600 line, his 607 putting him over. The local team was victorious in the first meeting of the two teams here a few weeks ago. The Berghoff quintet piled up a 3026 total and swamped the Anderson team in their fracas at the Delaware alleys. Leo Ahearn led the scoring with a 684, Dan Abbott totaled 655 and Lou Daugherty had a 623. For the Anderson boys, Southard featured with a 653 series. It was the second meeting of the teams, the local squad having won the first match at Anderson. When the Marott Shoe Cos. handed its sponsoring check to the local A. B. C. tournament committee paying the entry of its team to the annual event in Syracuse, it marked the 28th straight year that the company has entered teams bearing its name in the great national pin classic. The Marott sponsorship brought the total of teams being backed by local firms and individuals to 44, and, with their goal set at 48, the committee expects to reach the quota within the next few days. Other sponsors to join up during the last three days are the Indianapolis Power & Light Cos. and the Moran Trucsing Cos. The 48 teams are to travel by special train to Syracuse in March and will take over the tournament alleys on the day previous to the awarding of the 1936 tournament. With such representation on hand to boost the Hoosier capital, Indianapolis has high hopes of landing the 1936 event. Two individuals reached 700 and a hundred more passed the 600 mark during last week's sessions of the 80 odd leagues gome through their paces on local alleys. Bill Tarrant, with games of 235, 264 and 209 topped all individual efforts of the week when his three games netted him a 708.

Washington in Victory Over Blue for Title

Continentals Whip Shortridge, 36 to 24, in Battle for City Crown. The accurate-sniping Washington Continentals Saturday became the first local team to succeed Tech as city champions since the inauguration of the city public high school tourney six years ago. The Continentals trounced Shortridge in the final game Saturday night, 36 to 24, after the Blue Devils had eliminated Tech's defending champions in the afternoon. Victors Start Fast Washington took the lead at the beginning of the fray and set the pace all the way, though the Blue Devils stayed close behind until late in the third period. The Continentals found the range of the basket at the outset and amazed the large crowd with their consistent accuracy. The Washington defense set up by Coach Roland Jones proved a difficult wall for the North Siders to penetrate. Washington led at the half, 12-11. With Sartor leading the attack, the West Siders boosted the margin to almost double the Shortridge markers, and, in the middle of the final quarter, Coach Jones began to infuse substitutes into the Washington lineup. Tech Reserves Triumph Tech’s reserves annexed the B team championship, thumping the Washington seconds, 36 to 26, in the final tussle of that division, which preceded the Washington - Shortridge varsity game Saturday night. The Techmen reached the finals by tripping Manual’s seconds on Friday night. The Washington reserves beat Shortridge, 22-8, to gain the final bracket.

Meroff and Band Give Audience Many Laughs BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

AMONG the big orchestra leader names on the stage and air today is that of Benny Meroff. In mentioning Meroff, one naturally thinks of his band because each member has so much to do both in a musical and a comedy way. This time, Meroff has two outstanding comedy personalities in Red Pepper and Jack Marshall, both playing members of the Meroff calls them his “bad boys.” They throw the entire show into a hokum success. I was greatly impressed with Red, because he is one fat comedian who knows how to make faces that convulse an audience. There is a natural comedy way about Pepper and Marshall. Meroff has a fast moving revue. He has his orchestra on the stage and these are supplemented by singers and dancers. In the first place, Meroff has a mighty “hot” and efficient band with all the boys running toward comedy with the ease of seasoned comedians. Florence Gast lives up to her billing as a beautiful girl who sings and clowns right along with Meroff. The Ciffie Sisters are harmony singers of pleasing charm. Lolly Dell is an acrobatic dancer of ability. Peter is a young Negro dancer with fast moving feet. His rhythmic toe tap is a masterpiece. Jay Hill is a singer of mood and harmony. Meroff is a mighty big stage show buy. The movie feature is George Brent, Josephine Hutchinson, Colin Clive, Peggy Wood, Henrietta, Crossman and C. Aubrey Smith in W. Somerset Maugham's “The Right to Live.” Here are people who have big reputations both on the stage and the screen. It is the story of a married man who is injured for life. The triangle develops when another man steps into the picture and wins ' the love of his wife. Now at the Lyric.

Ann Harding

Playing the part made famous on the stage by Ina Claire, Miss Harding portrays the young girl artist who tramps the world painting portraits, mostly of men, and while she puts the oil on the canvas she, in some mysterious way becomes such an important cog in the potraitsitter’s life that he inevitably feels he can not live without her. This knack of so sympathizing and understanding the way of all males, is all contained in the manner in which Miss Harding plays up to the man in question, making him feel that his troubles, his victories, are the most important in all the world. In short it is her particular system of flattery that wins the fluttering hearts. The play is full of witty lines, sparkling satire and good comedy. Robert Montgomery, behind a pair of horn-rimmed spectacles, is the enterprising editor who attempts to buy the young artist’s biography, Hi brent i 11 HUTCHINSON | fill “THE RIGHT TO UYE | lI® H VITH CLIVE i Mil D *T TONIGHT.

dealing intricately with her affairs with men. Mr. Montgomery is his usual adept self, scowling and raging, soothing and smiling, and ultimately falling before the wiles of the graceful heroine. Edward Everett Horton Is gi jatly amusing in his adroit way as the much-advertised “Bunny” whose school boy romance with the scampering artist, looms up in the proposed biography as a serious menace to his senatorial election and he has a befuddled time trying to satisfy his own feelings and those of his fiancee, played by Una Merkel. Edward Arnold and Charles Richman are in the supporting cast. “Biography of a Bachelor Girl” reaches a high point in light, sophisticated comedy. Now at Loew’s Palace. (By J. TANARUS.) tt a tt Cellist Is Inspiring Emanuel feuermann, cellist, was acclaimed by a large audience at his recital yesterday at the Academy of Music. Many times a violoncello seems to be a handicap to some players but not with Mr. Feuermann. who handles his instrument as easily as if it were a violin. He demonstrated that he was a genius by playing Brahms’ “Sonata in F major for Pianoforte and Violoncello, Op. 99.” His accompanist, Fritz Kitzinger, easily established himself as a magnificent pianist. The great ovation started when Mr. Feuermann played Schubert’s “Sonata in A Minor.” This was the most melodious playing of this masterpiece I ever have heard. Another stirring ovation followed his playing of Valentini’s “Sonata in E Major.” Here is a concert which will be remembered for a long time as one of the outstanding ones of the Indianapolis Maennerchor. BY JOHN W. THOMPSON THE Civic Theater last night presented Marie Dawson Morrell, violinist, in a program which blended itself into a well played pattern of lovely music. The charm of the artist was well displayed in her unusual conception of tonal values and her creation of deep, resonant harmonies in the production of the musical idea. Although there undoubtedly were misty portions of Miss Morrell’s technique, the whole of her concert w r as so genuinely beautiful that occasional slurs were forgotten. The first group played by the violinist included “La Folia—Variations Serieuses,” a romantic, mellow composition by Corelli; the changeable “Caprice No. XX” by Paganini; and the “Sicilienne and Rigaudon,” difficult and intricate in makeup, by Francois Francoer. The second part of Miss Morrell’s program was the “Concerto in E Minor,” by Nardini. This is a fascinating piece of music and was extremely well handled by the artist. The Andante Cantabile movement especially was commendable. The last group on the program, well chosen, was climaxed by the

SIO,OOO IN GAMBLING EQUIPMENT SEIZED

Greyhound Club Is Raided at Jeffersonville. By United Prrtt JEFFERSONVILLE. Ind., Jan. 21. —Gambling equipment valued at SIO,OOO, seized in f raid on the Club Greyhound here, was kept hidden by state police today pending authority to destroy it. Twelve alleged operators of gambling devices were arrested in the raid. Six of them, all residents of Louisville, were released under S2OO bond each. The other six, all residents of Jeffersonville, were released under their own recognizance. Trial was set for Wednesday. Mozart-Kreisler “Rondo,” which contains as much of the delicacy and intricate forms as it seems possible to weave into one composition. Miss Morrell topped her entire program with this piece. The waves of melody, the full deep tones, the excellent fingering, all made the “Rondo” live in its expression. Other numbers in the gorup were “Baal Shem,” an improvisation by Ernest Block; a "Hebrew Lullaby,” by J. Achron-Auer; “Nocturne,” a splendid muted piece by Lili Boulanger; “The Bee,” that popular novelty by Francois Schubert; and the grand pillar in the music world, “Ave Maria,” by Franz Schubert. Mrs. Frank T. Edenharter, who accompanied Miss Morrell at the piano, framed the necessary unostentatious background for the artist. The concert last night was aided by the lighting effects and setting which the Playhouse staff arranged. v tt tt TONIGHT at 8:30 at the Murat, “As Thousands Cheer,” will open a three-night engagement with a matinee Wednesday. Dorothy Stone and Ethel Waters are the stars. The Apollo is in the third week of its engagement of Will Rogers in “The County Chairman.” The Indiana is presenting “The Lives of a Bengal Lancer.” Here is one of the really great movies of the year.
