By Eddie Ash golden gloves classic nears m m m YOU GET YOUR MONEY’S WORTH

'T'HE main reason the attendance has been growing at the annual 1 imes-Legion Golden Gloves amateur boxing tourney is the fact the action is what many ringside customers call “glorified.” The lads throw punches with abandon and nearly all battles produce constant thrills from bell to bell. It takes three nights to run off the tourney and when it’s all over eight champions are crowned in the Open class, consisting of flyweights, bantamweights, featherweights, lightweights, welterweights, middleweights, light heavyweights and heavyweights. Each scrap is scheduled for three two-minute rounds to a decision. There are no draw verdicts. Experienced referees handle the affair and the judges are experienced in tabbing amateur fistic events. Frequently some of the best struggles occur in the prelims on the opening, night owing to the rules which stipulate that one defeat means elimination. The eight champions in the Open division will be taken to Chicago, with all expenses paid, to compete in the Tournament of Golden Gloves Champions late in February. There will be suitable awards for the winners in the local Novice class.

Come Early , Stay Late THE customers arrive early and stay late at the Golden Gloves carnivals. There will be at least 100 entries in this year’s Times-Le-gion classic. Action will begin Friday night at the Armory, 711 N. Penmylvania-st. The second goaround will be on Feb. 1 at the Armory and the finals on Feb. 15 at the same hall. The prices opening night are 40 cents general admission and 75 cents ringside reserved seat. The same prices will prevail on Feb. 1. On Feb. 15, however, when the championship finals are staged, prices will be 50 cents general admission and $1 ringside reserved. The reserved seats are on sale at Haag's Claypool Hotel Pharmacy.

AMATEUR REINSMEN By United Press TOLEDO, 0., Jan. 23.—Ways of retaining interest in big time harness racing were discussed yesterday at the tenth annual meeting of stewards of the Grand Circuit Racing Association. One suggestion was to establish amateur races for drivers who never have raced for money. It was recommended that one or two amateur events be included on each day's program. Additional dashes, which were popular last season, also were proposed.

early training in the Golden Gloves ranks in Chicago. Organize a Golden Gloves party! You can’t miss on the class of entertainment from bell to bell. A group of Indianapolis Times carriers ! will be tourney guests on opening night Friday and' will occupy a section in the balcony. They will have friends among the combatants in the ring and will cut loose with plenty of vocal encouragement. Tribute Paid Old Hoss EDWARD J. GEIGER, sports editor of the Chicago American, pays a glowing tribute to Riggs Stephenson, the veteran Chicago Cubs’ outfielder who has accepted terms to play with the Indianapolis Indians this year. Geiger writes as follows: “Chicago fans regretted learning of Stephenson’s passing several weeks ago after nine faithful and successful seasons with the Cubs. Wherever sports fans gathered the subject of the Old Hoss sooner or later was discussed. “I had noped that Stevie would catch on with another major league club, feeling that even though he is 35, old as ball players go, he still had ability both as a hitter and a fielder. “But instead he is signed with Indianapolis. He was playing there when the Cubs bought him back in 1926, one of the smartest deals they ever made. I can w r ell imagine that Stevie again will be a hero in the Indiana city.” tt tt a Always in Condition GROWING more enthusiastic, the sports editor of the American went on to say: “And who knows, perhaps before the 1935 season has run its course, one of the big league teams, hard-pressed for outfielders, might take a chance with the Old Hoss, especially if he hits hard for the Indianapolis Indians. “Yes, at 35, knowing Stevie—his determination and good condition from clean living—l actually believe he has a chance of getting back into the majors. I know that every one who knows him. how r ever casually, will share my hopes.”

see what made him tick. That's just what Everett Marshall, the flashy Colorado heavyweight grappler, did at the Armory last night in the feature tussle of the Hercules A. C. card. • Sneering Sol, who holds a place high on the local public mat enemy list, had waddled through a series of triumphs here before he bumped into Marshall—and come* a-cropper. And there were more than 4000 customers, one of the largest crowds of the indoor season, on hand to see Slagel’s downfall. Marshall bounced Sol about the ring like a big rubber ball. In fact, he did everything but dribble him. The blond westerner required only 10 minutes to flop the Kansan the first time, a series of slams and short-arm tackles doing the dirty work. The boys put on steam for the sec#nd fall, which ended with Marshall on top after 33 minutes of tussling. A series of surfboard toeholds slowed down Slagel, some more short-arm tackles, the La Junta pastimer's specialty, put him on the skids, and three reverse body slams finished him. There were few dull moments throughout the main-go action. The two preliminary struggles provided their share of fireworks. Two of the tough boys tangled in the semiwindup and came out all even after thirty minutes of fistic-grappling action. They were Karl (Big Boy) Davis, the Columbus (C.) clouter, and Charley Strack, 235-pound Bostonian. They squared off in pugilistic fashion, trading assorted punches freely. There wasn't much difference at the finish. Davis copped the nod in fisticuffs, and Strack had the edge in wrestling. Otto Kuss, the giant Indiana U. star, made it four victories in a row since turning pro, by flopping Whitey Hewitt. Memphis toughy. in 18 minutes with a series of tackles and slams. Young Otto can give-and-take and is proving a favorite with the fans. From top to bottom the show last night was one of the best of the indoor season.

Blue and Irish Look to Fray at Fieldhouse Coaches at Cathedral and Shortridge Launch Heavy Net Drills. The Butler Fieldhouse will again be the scene of an intra-city high j school hardwood battle Friday 1 night, when the net snipers of Cathedral and Shortridge square off to resume their rivalry. Coach Joe Dienhart’s Irish courtmen sw’ung into active drills yesterday. The Irish are anxious to atone for a disastrous early season and i two setbacks last week administer--1 ed by Greenfield and Jeffersonville. The Blue Devils rested up Monday from city tourney action, and Coach Peterman launched extensive drills on zone defense yesterday. The Shortridgers came through the tourney without injury. Bill and Robert Connor loom as the chief Irish threats for the Blue Devils to stop. Both Shortridge and Cathedial have been beaten by Greenfield. In the only other comparative score, Shortridge trimmed Tech, while Cathedral bowed to the Campbellmen. Giants Play Tonight Ben Davis’ rangy basketeers will be the first to test Washington since the Continentals annexed the city title. The Giants invade the West Side gym tonight. Bohannon, Finchum, Price, Johnson and Hiatt form the regular lineup for Ben Davis.

Veller Reports Offer by Tech I. U. Star Weighs Bid to Become Coach of City Eleven.

By United Press Bloomington, ind., Jan. 23. —Don Veller of Bicknell, senior at Indiana University, said today he had been offered the football coaching position at Technical High School, Indianapolis. Veller has been a regular half back on the I. U. varsity squad for three years and was a member of the Eastern all-star team which met a similar group from the West New Year’s Day. Veller will complete his fouryear course at the end of the present semester. He said he had not made a decision on the coach - ing position because he had planned to remain at the university until June. The present coach at the Indianapolis high school is John Mueller. Chuck Bennett. La Porte High School coach and a former I. U. star, last week reported he had declined an offer from Tech. Primo Knocks Out Klausner in Sixth Camera Will Sail for U. S. Within Week. By United Press RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 23. Primo Camera prepared today to depart for the United States within a week, his South American boxing campaign having ended last night in a six-round technical knockout over Irving Klausner while 40,000 fans booed. Apparently the ex-champion could have flattened Klausner with a punch at any time after the opening gong. He chose to fiddle instead. Responding to the booes, he nailed Klausner to the ropes in the latter part of the sixth, and belabored him. Then the towering Venetian set himself, drew a bead and put his 265 pounds behind a right hand. That stretched Klausner. who was game enough to try to arise before the end of the count, but the referee awarded the fight to Camera.

PLAINFIELD VS. JEFFERSONVILLE, SEZZE Here’s a contribution by YOU KNOW ME of Plainfield, postmarked BEFORE the windup of the Hendricks County tournament, which Pittsboro won: “I don’t believe that Plainfield will win our county championship unless the boys can do so without strutting their stuff. We’ll make things easy for you around sectional time. Just say, ‘Plainfield by a hair,’ till me meet Jeffersonville. From then on, you’re on your own. Personally, Jeffersonville looks plenty tough, but I’ll pull for Plainfield. If you want to see real basketball played, come see us play Pittsboro, Friday the 25th. Come early for immediate seating.” a tt tt A Big Sixteen is lined up thusly by L-4-6-1-1 (I don’t know what it means, either) of Indianapolis: Jeffersonville, Mitchell, Michigan City, Newcastle, Jasper, Franklin, Wabash, Shortridge, Bedford, Bloomington, Cicero, Plainfield, Bosse, Pittsboro, Marion and Logansport. L-4-6-1-1 may reside in Indianapolis now, but I’ll wager he’s a native of Cicero, or has relatives there. tt tt tt AND now, let the city champions tell you about it: Dear Backboard Continental Jake on the air again. Thanks for picking Shortridge to win. I told you watch our smoke in that tourney, out I guess “smoke gets in your eyes.” Watch us burn ’em up from now on in!—Continental Jake. a Okay. Everybody watch the champs tonight against Ben Davis. • a o tt “The Jones Boys certainly put one over on Shortridge,” announce the Continental Boosters. “We were just too good for the Blue Devils” . . . “Congratulations to the Jones Boys,” says an AllAmerican Jones Girl, “Continentals, uphold your prestige by beating Ben Davis. You can do it!” POWERHOUSE PAUL skirts the Shortridge angle: “Our boys in blue had lost the realization of defeat. With the assuredness of the Invincible Armada they entered the final game, and Washington's Minute Men, ready for che kill, struck with lightning swiftness to paste an inglorious defeat on Shortridge. We are happy for this defeat, believing that, though our boys were a bit ‘sick,’ it is the best single event to secure victory from now on.” a a a What kind of history do they teach on the North Side? . . .

Open class of the middleweight (160-pound) division.

WASHINGTON broke into the state limelight by beating Shortridge. The eminent Kunnel Bob Stranahan of Newcastle’s Courier-Times lists his current .big ten thusly: 1. Jeffersonville. 2. Franklin. 3. Washington. 4. New Albany. 5. Michigan City. 6. Anderson. 7. Washington (Indianapolis). 8. North Vernon. 9. Logansport. 10. Jeff of Lafayette. In explaining his choice of the local club for the seventh pew, Kunnel Bob drawls: “The Continentals won themselves the Indianapolis city tournament, defeating Shortridge in the final game, 36 to 24.” tt tt tt THE North Central Conference scoring crown has been jumping from head to head since Kokomo’s Donnie Matchett abdicated two weeks ago due to illness. After resting momentarily on two or three other brows it came to rest on the dark thatch of stocky Cleo Maddox, Kokomo guard, last week-end. Cleo scored eight of the Kats’ 16 points against Richmond to boost his total-point sum to 57 in 10 games. Ruh, Anderson’s diminutive guard, is second, with 55 markers. a a What has happened to the big, rangy centers who used to corner the scoring honors by amassing huge totals bn hook pivot shots under the basket? . . . Only two centers are among the first ten scorers of the North Central circuit now ... It has been noticeable in many games of late that the coaches are arranging the big boys to toss out “feeders” to the guards and forwards instead of taking hook chances themselves . . . This is rather odd, too, since the “one-man scorer” system from the *foul circle has been generally successful in the past couple of seasons .. • Franklin's Grizzly Cubs place more dependence in their pivot man than any other club Backboard has witnessed this semester. Everything* went true to form in the big scuffles of last evening. Mr. Case’s Hot Dogs of Frankfort were the most successful. winding up 19 points to the good over Crawfordsville’s Athenians, 37-18. Peru held the Loganberries to a seven-point margin, 18-11, and Marion overwhelmed Huntington by nine markers, 3829. Is it significant that Logansport was the low scorer and low margin-getter of the three winners? tt tt tt Among’ Friday’s debates: Cathedral vs. Shortridge at Batter. Beech Grove at Manual. Tech at Lebanon. Bosse Evansville at Jeffersonville. Logansport at Jeff of Lafayette. Kokomo at Anderson. Bedford at Bloomington. Franklin at Columbus. Martinsville at Shelbyville.

Risko Does His Training in Department Store

By United Press NEW YORK. Jan. 23.—Eddie (Babe) Risko, the Syracuse boy with lead in his fists, who will meet Vince Dundee Friday night, took his last afternoon of hard training today amid the latest in furniture, toys, ladies’ underthings and other odds and ends of a department store. This very tough guy has given the laborers in New York's cauliflower patches their second jolt in three weeks. He was unheard of until New "Year’s afternoon when he made Teddy Yarosz, the world middleweight champion, look like an elevator boy, as he went up and down six times and finally out on a technical knockout. Now he further confounds them by accepting an offer from one of New York’s biggest department stores to train there in an improvised gym for his Madison Square Garden debut.

Ellsworth Vines' rise to fame included victories in the national and Wimbledon tournaments of 1932. George Lott, ranked third among the nation’s stars for three straight years, starting in 1927, withdrew from strenuous competition in 1932, but staged a comeback during the last tw r o seasons and turned professional after teaming with Lester Stoefen to make a clean sweep of the world’s most important doubles titles in 1934. * Stoefen is the youngest member of the professional foursome which will play here. He is only 23. In 1932 and 1933 he lost only to the ultimate champions in the national tournament singles play. Last year Stoefen won the national indoor title and shared honors with Lott in doubles in ail of the major tourneys.
