By Eddie Ash A. A. CLUBS WANT FANS TO TALK m m m FULL CO-OPERATION IS SOUGHT

Association clubs are circulating a questionnaire among the fans throughout the circuit as a means of sounding out the wishes of the customers, courting suggestions and in a general way requesting the co-operation of the persons who pay the freight at the gate. About 1000 questionnaires w ill be distributed in each of the eight cities. The A. A. club owners and managers are facing the new season with confidence, but at the same time they are willing to lend an ear to the fans and endeavor to please the public 100 per cent. The main idea, of course, is to increase the popularity of league baseball. Very little money was earned by any club last year and in m&st instances the teams lost heavily on the financial side. New money has been obtained in St. Paul and City, two of the heavy losers in 1934, and it is the belief that the league will get off to a grand start in April. The problem, though, is to keep the fans coming out. Hence the questionnaire.

The Leading Questions THE questionnaire contains many inquiries and it will be interesting to see how the fans respond. Each club is handling its own scheme and the questionnaires are being mailed out from the ball parks throughout the circuit. Here are some of the important questions: Do you like night baseball? Would you prefer more or less night ball? What time do you suggest night games start, 8:00, 8:15 or 8:30? Does the radio help to maintain your interest in baseball? In your opinion what can the Indianapolis club do to increase the popularity of baseball in Indianapolis? Do you favor an all-star game in the American Association? Would you prefer such a game in midseason or at the end of the regular season? Are you in favor of a 154-game schedule, the winner at the end of the regular season to be declared champion, or a split season, or a post season series such as held in 1934? Any other suggestions that you think would assist the Indianapolis club and that would be appreciated by the average fan? a a a Mike WiU Be Ready Barney mike KELLY has gone back to school. He's a smart Irishman. His baseball career has been spent as player, manager and coach, but this winter, after losing out as a coach with the Chicago Cubs, Mike landed a position as business manager of the Syracuse Internationals. Serving as a ball club executive is new to Indianapolis Mike Kelly. Hence schooldays again. The jovial Barney is taking a course in a local business college and when he begins his new duties at Syracuse he won’t have to be led around. In other words Mike will know what time it is even if he is a stranger in the counting house. And did Kelly sit back and moan when the Chicago club released him? Not so you could notice it. He looked around his home city, saw there was a chance of something doing in real estate and went out and hustled. Now he is doing very well by himself making property ‘•turnovers.’’

Checking Prexy Frick AS we understand it, Ford Frick, the new president of the National League, used to be the “ghost” writer for Babe Ruth, meaning that Frick wrote the articles that carried the "by Babe Ruth’’ line. Well, now we wonder if Babe Ruth is not acting as "ghost” writer for Ford Frick. The old Babe always was weak on remembering names and facts. His business was parking the ball out of the lot. Keeping on the subject, we read the Saturday Evening Post last week. In it was an article signed by Ford Frick. It was a yarn on umpires. It didn’t “read” like Frick, but it was signed by Frick, and therefore Frick will have to take the “fall.” % One of his paragraphs discussed “what umpires do” during the offseason. Naturally he mentioned Harry Geisel, Indianapolis American League umpire, during the course of his comment. Geisel was published “Giesel.” Moreover, the Frick story stated that umpire Geisel spent his winters refereeing boxing and wrestling matches. Frick went down on three straight strikes there. Mr Geisel has served as announcer at boxing shows and he was the guest announcer at the TimesLegion Golden Gloves amateur show here last Friday, but he does not referee boxing or wrestling show’s. a u a Double Order , Please LAST week Claude E. Penrod of the RKO Distributing Carp., organized a Golden Gloves party and purchased twelve ringside seats for opening night at The Times-Legion amateur boxing show at the Armory. The young fistic lads put pep into their bouts and in a big way supplied a class of entertainment hard to tie. At any rate, Mr. Penrod increased his order to 24 seats for the second night's Golden Gloves show this Friday. Owing to the size of the starting field, it will be necessary to enlarge the program and indications point to 30 bouts being held. Last week many fans entered the hall figuring to stay for about three-fourths of the program, but the big crowd was still there at the windup cheering the youthful gladiators. Nobody cared to risk a chance of missing a good bout by leaving early.

Two other bouts are on the program. the first to get under way at 8:30. It is an all-heavyweight card. Sarpolis, who scales 222, held the Big Ten Conference heavyweight mat title a few years ago. He will be getting his second chance within a month to topple Marshall. The nationally known grapplers staged a hot scrap early in the year with Everett coming out on top after a heated argument. Karl won the first fall. Marshall Is rated next to Jim Londos by many mat fans. He weighs 218 and is one of fastest artists in the game. Sol Slagel was his victim here last Tuesday. Sarpolis is a former University of Chicago athlete. He is an exponent of the flying hook scissors hold. Billy Edwards. 211, of Dallas. Tex., will match his strength against Dick Raines. 235. the cow’boy grappler, in the semi-windup. Lou Plummer. 238 rough Baltimore performer, meets Jack Hogue. 220, Arizona, in the prelim.

( The victorv brought Lott and Stoefen within one match of their more exeperienced rivals in the tour series they now are engaged in. The scores were 6-4, 2-6, 7-5. The exhibition opened with Vines showing an abundance of class and a cannon ball service to down Stoefen in straight sets in a singles match, 6-3, 8-6. Stoefen won the first game on straight points. Vines took the next three, but momentarily became wild on his base-line attempts and Stoefen picked up another game. Vines drove four services past Stoefen for a love game win, then added the next game. Stoefen won a double deuce encounter, and, with one game needed for the set, Vines revealed just how much he excelled by taking the next game with splendid placement drives. Vines Overtakes Foe The lanky Stoefen got off to a flying start in the second set with a three-game lead. Vines captured the fourth. Stoefen won a love game, but that rallied the champion, who battled his way back to a five-all deadlock, stoefen won his sixth game, but Vines copped three straight for the set. Stoefen tried desperately for the seventh game taking it to deuce three times. Although the veteran Tilden showed flashes of his old-time form, and won his service a couple of times, his drives to the baseline often were wild and he and Vines were caught flatfooted on several occasions, which allowed Lott- to pass them with well directed placements down the middle alley. Lott Bears Down The winning combination held a 5- advantage once in the opening set. Tilden won his service and they went Into a deuce game, but Lott uncorked some play at j;he net that clinched the next game and set. Tilden opened the second set with a straight point win on his service and Vines duplicated later as the veteran pros found their stride and appeared well in control as they won handily, 6-2, taking the last four games. The deciding set was bitterly contested, the affair being deadlocked at two, three, four and five all. Four of the first 10 games went to deuce. The eleventh game went to deuce twice, but in the deciding game the winners allowed Tilden and Vines only one point. Tilden Humbles Lott If Lott was indifferent during the windup singles match with Tilden, it was hard to detect. While losing the first set, 1-6, he carried five of the seven games to deuce, going down stubbornly. Then, after losing three straight games in the second set, the Chicagoan won three to deadlock the count. Tilden won his service but Lott retaliated. Tilden w’on his service again with straight points and broke through Lott’s service for the deciairg game and set, 6-1, 6-4.

California southpaw who once held the world’s welterweight title, won an unpopular decision last night from Bep Van Klaveren, Dutch middleweight, in a 10-round bout. The crowd of 7500, partisan to Corbett during the battling, shouted its disapproval when Referee Jess Kenworthy raised the Californian’s hand as symbol of victory. Once during the fight Corbett was on the verge of being knocked out. In the first round, Van Klaveren caught the former champion flush on the jaw with a right. Corbett flew back against the ropes so hard they burned his back. His knees buckled. Van Klaveren got in two more punches, one of wh.ch dropped Corbett for no-count. . ut Corbetc weathered the attack and came back fresh for the second round. After u.at he fought more cautiously.

Twenty Grand Not in Top Condition Expected to Be Withdrawn From SIOO,OOO Event. By United Press LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29.—Withdrawal of Twenty Grand, Kentucky Derby record holder, as a starter in the SIOO,OOO Santa Anita Handicap, Feb. 23, appeared a virtual certainty today. The 7-year-old campaigner’s trainer, Bill Brennan, said his withdrawal was conditional on consent of his owner, Mrs. Payne Whitney. Brennan recommended such action. Brennan said he believed Twenty Grand had passed his peak. Last Friday he ran third in a four-horse field in a special race at Santa Anita Park and pulled up lame. A leg ligament, strained a year ago, still was troubling him. Cavalcade, whose 8-to-5 odds in the Agua Caliente future book make him a virtually prohibitive favorite, turned in a near brilliant workout yesterday when he raced the mile in 1:37 3-5. The 1934 champion, despite his fast time, was under wraps. Sandbach on Way to Millrose Games By Times Special LAFAYETTE. Ind., Jan. 29.
