By Eddie Ash YOUNG TOWNSEND IS TALENTED m m m ADDS SHOT PUT TO CAGE SKILL
JCIIN TOWNSEND, the former Indianapolis Tech High School basketball ace, is the apple of the eyes of the athletics coaches at tl j University of Michigan. He graduated from Tech last June after completing a brilliant career on the hardwood. Heralded as '.he most promising cage prospect to appear at the Wolverine school in recent years young Townsend not only made good on that point with the freshman net squad, but he stepped out the other day and brought joy to the track coach by picking up the shot and heaving it 43 feet 1 inches. This distance was far better than the best efforts of the current varsity weight throwers at Ann Arbor. Townsend weighs 220 and is 6 feet, 3 inches tall. Moreover, according to his track coaches. Chuck Hoyt and Ken Doherty, oig John possesses the ideal build for a shot putter with the perfect co-ordination essential to a first-rate weight man. Townsend had little track experience in high school and now they are describing him as an “unique specimen” among Michigan athletes.
Local Alumni Proud r ■ VALENTED athletes among the newcomers are received with open arms at Michigan nowadays. The 1934 Wolverine football team lost every one of its big Ten games and the basketball five also is having a poor season. Michigan is accustomed to being on top. or close, and fresh material of quality is a crying noed. Therefore, if young John Townsend of Indianapolis lives up to advance notices when his sophomore year is reamed, his name is sure to become nationally-known as a cage pastimer and weight tosser. The Michigan shot-put record was posted in 1911 by J. J. Horner with a throw of 48 feet 3 '2 inches. A mark of 46 feet 6 inches has been the best at Michigan in recent years. It. was recorded in 1929. Michigan alumni in Indianapolis have become Townsend-minded as reports of young John's feats roll in, and especially proud is Judge Herbert L. Wilson. Superior Court, Room 5. the former Marion County prosecutor. Judge Wilson had to stand for a lot of razzing last fall as the weeks went by and Michigan kept taking it on the chin. Judge Wilson, a loyal Michigan man, has an idea Townsend is one of a new 7 group of athletes destined to lead the Wolverines back to the national spotlight. tt tt tt Efficient Mr. Hickey 'TT'HE official 1935 American Association schedule was released yesterday and was carried in com- j plete form in The Times. The A. A. is first out with the new season’s chart of games. Tom Hickey’s’ circuit also was first to publish official player averages for the 1934 season, beating both the big leagues to press. The International League only yesterday got its official 1934 j averages to the public. Prexy Tom Hickey, who operates a one-man league office, is more successful in getting things done than other leagues that have secretaries, assistant secretaries and “public relations’’ gadabouts. tt n tt At Home Race Day THE A.

Grand Circuit Dates Set Here Are for Sept. 2 to 7
Indianapolis Harness Meeting Will Not Conflict With Syracuse This Year: Season Starts June 29. BY FRANK BUCKLEY’ Times Special Correspondent TOLEDO. Jan. 22.—The 1935 Grand Circuit program will open June 29 at Ft. Miami track in Toledo, it was decided at a meeting of the Circuit’s stewards here today. Nine dates for racing were assigned tentatively and subject to change at the discretion of the committee of officers. The Indianapolis meeting was assigned to start Sept. 2 and
close Sept. 7. The rest of the program will be as folows: \t Cleveland July 6 to 13. At Toronto. July 17 to 24. At Boston. July 29 to Aug. 10. At Goshen. N. Y.. Aug. 12 to 17. At Springfield. 111.. Aug. 19 to 24. At Syracuse. Aug. 26 to 31. At Lexington, Ky„ Sept. 21 to 28. The dates between the Indianapolis and Lexington meetings may go to Louisville and Columbus. An interesting angle to the award of meets was the fact that racing at Indianapolis and Syracuse will not conflict this year. Heretofore these two cities have shared the Grand Circuit spotlight the same week. The new arrangement means that Indianapolis will draw more better-grade trotters and pacers than in years gone by during the week of the Hoosier State Fair. The stewards re-elected E.

It is part of the build-up to restore the Hoosier to his former position as top flight hitter in the National League. Klein played the right garden when he set a lot of records with the Phillies, but after being sold to the Cubs he was switched to left field. In addition to being handicapped by injuries last season, it was know r n that Chuck felt a little out of place in the left pasture. In a statement made to the United Press today, Manager Grimm said: “I expect Klein to make a big comeback. Part of his failure last year might have been my fault for playing him in left field. This year I’m going to put him in his regular place, right field, and keep him there as long as he delivers. But Klein is going to have to hustle.” tt a it Pro A etters Shake Hands WHAT promised to develop into a local professional basketball “war” w 7 ound up in a handshaking party. Evidently the socalled “heat’’ that described the rivalry between the Kautsky A. C.s and the Hilgemeier Packers was merely on the surface and concealed no bitterness that is supposed to exist in professional sports. At any rate, it s said the Kautskys and the Packers have agreed to meet in a series to settle local pro cage supremacy, but with the proviso that the gate receipts be split 50-50 instead of 60 to the winner and 40 to the loser. There is only one way to generate fan interest and to cause the players to “give their all,” and that way is for the winner to receive more “bucks” than the loser. The 50-50 arrangement smacks of commercialized goodfellowship.

500 NEW PARKS IS ‘DREAM’ OF BASEBALL
Congress Aid j Sought Under Carr Scheme Promoter Sees Big Chance to Help Game With Public Works Money. BY RALPH TEATSORTH Initfd PrrM Staff Correspondent COLUMBUS, 0., Jan. 22—OrganI ized baseball will ask for a share of the four billion dollars Congress is j expected to appropriate during its ; present session for public works and other projects. Under a tentative plan announced today by Joe F. Carr, promotional director of professional baseball, club owners and officers will ask for money to build 500 new inclosed ! baseball parks. Estimating the parks | to cost between SIO,OOO and $50,000 each, at least $10,000,000 probably would be required. For Community Sports In most instances the parks would be self-liquidating projects, Carr said. In .'ddition to their use for professional baseball, they would be the center of community sports and entertainment. The program would include every state. Under the plan, small cities without adequate baseball facilities would be given new parks, thus encouraging both public recreational work and the creation of new organized baseball leagues. In larger cities whic halready have baseball facilities parks would be improved or replaced. Increase Employment “The building of 500 baseball parks throughout the country •sould put innumerable men to work and make possible the installation of professional clubs in most of the cities which, in turn, would give work to thousands of boys who are anxious to take up the game as a profession. We feel certain this program is sound economically and will receive President Roosevelt’s approval,” Carr said. Baseball’s growth since the depression is reflected in the organization of seven new minor leagues during the last two years, Canpointed out. Campb Li. rieady to Sail for U. S.

THREE North Central Conference aggregations will take to the hardwood tonight against non-Conference foes. The Conference quintets are expecting to find their tilts tonight more or less of the “breather” variety. Logansport is host to Peru, Marion is host to Huntington, and Frankfort entertains Crawfordsville. Marion appears booked for the toughest sledding. Huntington was nudged out by Wabash last Friday, 28-26, in a see-saw battle in which the score was knotted eight times. Marion’s Giants eked out a 20-18 verdict over Wabash earlier in the season. The Giants will travel to Wabash for a return go next Friday. The old-time “special train” carnivals, relivened by Jeffersonville this ypar, is gaining impetus. Marion is pushing a campaign to follow the team to Wabash 300 strong via the rails.
o a a C> RAWFORDSVILLE’S Athenians J may have an upset or two up their sleeves for the remainder of the season. It’s doubtful that they’ll surprise Frankfort. The Casemen wisely are keeping wary eyes on the Athenians, despite Crawfordsville’s unimpressive showing. The Hot Dogs got the scare of their lives when they invaded Crawfordsville last year and managed to salvage a one-point victory in a hangup battle. A Peru victory over the Wellsmen would be an upset of the major caliber. a tt tt Martinsville fans came to the fore in heartening style when Backboard pul in a plea for the Martinsville schedule last week. The Artesian patriots agree on the scores of past tussles and on the slate yet to be played. Here ’tis: Martinsville, 35; Noblesville, 28. Martinsville, 37; Mitrhelf, 28.

Feb. 22—At Vincennes. tt tt tt A Seventh Grade Boy sent in a neat schedule and I'd suggest the Martinsville penmanship teacher give him an A plus. . . . . W. J. of Martinsville even goes ahead to predict the scores of the rest of the games for Backboard . . . just for fun. let’s see how he secs 'em; Rushville to win, 20-21; Shelbyville to win, 26-23; Bedford to win, 30-25; Greencastle to win, 23-10; Martinsville to beat Cathedral. 25-15; Jeffersonville to win. 47-13; Vincennes to win, 30-17 . . . “Jeffersonville will he state champions,” concludes W. J., “but look for Martinsville at the State.” ... an M. H. S. alumnas of 1018 contributes a schedule, and adds: “Help boost the Hilgemeier-Kautsky game. It would be a natural.” tt tt tt CHIC YARBROUGH of the Frankfort Times made a crack Friday morning before the Anderson game about the Hot Dogs having “another burden to lug around” since Backboard placed his seal on the Casemen to nudge the Indians. And as a result, the Hot Dogs were slipped a heart-breaking two-point defeat. I say “as a result” because it was the only prophesy in 13 tries that Backboard erred on. The other 12 predictions were correct. If Chic hadn’t unleashed that wisecrack, the fates might have been kind to the Hot Dogs and allowed them to stay in line ... “so as ye sew—.” tt tt tt THE nickname “Continentals” is in almost total disuse at Washington High School any more.

to their champion netters as “The Jones Boys.” Roland Jones is the Washington coach. “The Jones Boys” certainly had every one “Popeye-d” in the city thimble theater. a a a A MAN who is in a position to know what he is talking about didn't see eye to eye with Backboard on a few comments concerning the city tourney. Regarding Backboard’s suggestion that Referee Kaufman was using the whistle too fluently, he writes: “Mr. Kaufman is one of the best officials in the game today, and the officials of the city tourney selected him to work the games because he was close on the decisions and watched the little things that go on in a ball game. The rivalry is so keen among Indianapolis schools that, if the games were allowed to be played loosely, they would become rough, and roughness would bring on bitter feelings among the players and this same feeling would be transferred to the fans.” Taking a stand on Backboard’s allusion to the incident where the Manual mentor removed Nahmias from the Tech game, the writer convincingly presents the coaches’ defense to the ceaseless attack on substitutions by uniformed fans and columnists. He continues: “Coaches have their views on how best to handle their team, and sometimes they play a good hunch and prove ‘very smart’ for doing it. Then at other times they play a hunch and their plans do not go the way they intend. During the season coaches get plenty of criticism, some fair and some unfair, and fans always find plenty to kick about, without needing a yell leader.” a a a Backboard admits that had the strategy of the Manual mentor worked out and the Redskins had jumped ahead of Tech, Backboard would have been the first to proclaim Coach Bridgeford a “master strategist.” As it was, the breaks turned against Coach Bridgeford and Backboard hastily called attention to it. Columnists are fickle that way. But your columist makes all his remarks in fun. For that’s what basketball is—a lot of fun (and a little worry). So, these notes on the tourneys concerning the referees and coaches aren't said in all seriousness. They’re just little items expressing the writer’s personal second guesses. Coaches and officials (and hirers oi same) please take them with a grain o’ salt.

Butler Host to Valparaiso Basket Squad Bulldogs Risk Clean Conference Slate Against Bitter Rival. Butler University’s reserve strength has been groomed during the last week for service against the Uhlans of Valparaiso University, who will make their appearance in the Fairview Field House at 8:30 tonight. An opener between Butler reserves and N. C. A. G. U. will be staged at 7 o’clock. Tonight’s game probably will be the first opportunity Butler reserve material has had for extensive service. “Pointed” for Locals The Uhlans, wno almost kept Butler out of the state secondary title in football last fall, have been slow in making a basketball start, but it is known that Valpo has been pointing for Butler during games thus far in the season. Much of the Uhlan hardwood material, including Smatlak, Koss, Karr and Luekens, has been drafted from the football squad. Smatlak, at center, promises to be the biggest threat of the tilt, just as he was the main back field threat in football, Valpo again has an opportunity to upset Conference hopes for Butler. The Bulldogs are undefeated thus far in Hoosier Conference play and stand a good chance to remain on top unless the Uhlans pull a surprise attack tonight. Chance for Title By passing Valparaiso tonight and Indiana State, Saturday night, Butler will have the Hoosier basketball situation well under control as far as Conference standings are concerned. Remaining on the schedule will be return games with Franklin, Wabash and Indiana State and a fray with Central Normal of Danville. Probable starters tonight will be Batts, Armstrong, Demmary. Jones and Brafford for Butler and Krause, Schonheer, Smatlak, Karr and Koss for Valparaiso. Local Girls’ Five Faces Hard Game Real Silks Will Entertain La Fendrich Netters. Indianapolis will have an opportunity to see two of the fastest girls’ basketball teams in the Mid-West play here Sunday afternoon when the local Real Silk girls’ quintet entertains the La Fendrich team from Evansville. The Real Silk quintet, organized six years ago, turned in a record of 13 victories in 15 encounters last season and claims a clean slate for the current season, during which they played 15 engagements. In their last six games they have totaled 175 points against their opponents’ 64. The La Fendrich girls also claim a clean record for the season and victories over several boys’ quintets. In their last encounter, the La Fendrich five defeated a Uniontown (Ky.) girls’ aggregation, 65 to 3. The La Fendrichs have been playing approximately five years.
