By Eddie Ash WINTER LEAGUE PLAN INDORSED m m m IT WOULD REVIVE “STOVE” GOSSIP

'TMIAT idea proposed by Clark Griflith, owner of the Washinpfton Americans, involving the formation of a winter league in Florida to be composed of major league rookies and other prospects, is beginning to receive widespread attention. It impresses this column conductor as the real vehicle to help baseball keep news in the headlines during the off-season. In the last few years the old stove league that fans knew so well has had a hard time getting its chatter into print, what with tennis players barnstorming the country in winter, golfers doing the same and pro footballers extending their post-season program well up into January. Ed Barrow, former player and manager and who has been business manager of the New York Yankees many years, has indorsed Griffith's plan. His comment on the subject, in part, follows: “Griffith's suggestion is a splendid one and would do a lot for the game and the clubs involved. “Pacific Coast League clubs have had considerable success with a winter league in California, and I can not see why a similar circuit in Florida would not meet with even more satisfactory results. It is a grand idea lor big league clubs without minor league farms.”

Scouts Watch Coast THE California winter league and winter semi-pro clubs there sent more than one shining light to the majors and to the big minor circuits. Pitcher Hal Chamberlain of the Indianapolis team is a winter league product. Big league scouts roam through southern California searching for young talent during the off-season in the East. Winter baseball used to be a b:g thing in New Orleans, but the depression, plus horse racing and the gambling wave that followed the big crash proved too much for basely as a paying attraction in the C cent City during the off-season. hile Clark Griffiths proposal of a rapefruit league is sure to get a hearing, it will draw opposition m some quarters. A few of the magnates arc certain to feel that a w inter loop might detract interest from the regular spring exhibition games in the Sunshine State. Griffith is thinking along the right lines, however. A regular winter circuit in Florida, with the standing published every day throughout the country as well as news and gossip of the young “phenoms.” surely would go a long way in keeping the North baseballminded until spring rolls around. a a a Fans Grow Excited TEETH clattered to the floor on the open inght of the Golden Gloves boxing show at the Armoiv last Friday. But the molars were not knocked loose from a boxers jaw. A spectator grew excited and his store masticators became unhinged and popped out. Another spectator yelled so lustily and squirmed in his seat so much during a whirlwind scrap that a square-toed flask slipped off his hip and bounced off the hardwood, in plain view of the close-up nngsiders. Somebody on the alert yelled “man overboard!” An immediate rescue was effected without breakage. Good goods. a a a Two Games Same Day SOME of tire professional basketball players are iron men. There's Joe Reiff. for instance. The former Northwestern University cage wizard tallied 24 points last Sunday. He played with the Kautsky A. C-s in Indianapolis in the afternoon. scored five markers, then beai it to Chicago where he led the. Oshkosh five to victory over the | Duffy Florals, 33 to 23. All Joe accomplished in the night j game was seven field goals and five , foul tosses for a total of nineteen points. He is slated to come down here again next Sunday and try to knock off the Hilgemeier Packers, j The question is, how does a day

and night basketball player pace himself? In other w r ords, does he turn everything on in the afternoon or save up some vigor for the night tilt? Perhaps there are a couple of Joe Reiffs dashing about the country. Maybe Bozo, the educated dog, can answer that one. Anyway, the pro basketeers are -oing the wrestlers one better. Some of the grunters are able to mix in one match every 24 hours, but here's Joe Reiff playing two net games within 10 hours, and miles apart. a a a Lambert Testimonial Coach ward lambert, dean of Big Ten basketball mentors, whose Purdue basketball teams have compiled one of the best long-time records of any major college, will be honored at a testimonial banquet Friday night in Chicago by the Purdue Alumni Association of Chicago. Lamberts Purdue teams have won or tied for the Big Ten title in seven out of the last 14 seasons, and have won the undisputec* tit 1 a in three of the last five years. Since Lambert assumed control of the cage coaching reins at Purdue at the start of the It 19 season, the Boilermakers have played 187 Big Ten games, winning 133 while losing only 54 for a percentage of .711, while in all games the Boilermakers have won 212 out of 184 for a percentage of .746. Although Purdue quintets have been frequent contenders for national as well as Big Ten honors, the Boilermakers will make their first appearance in history in New York on Feb. 9 when they will meet Fordham in Madison Square Garden in an intersectional encounter. a a a Lee on Feature Bill PAUL LEE. Indianapolis featherweight. will perform on the feature fistic card in Chicago tomorrow night when Tony Canzoneri, former lightweight chamoion, takes on Leo Rodak in the 7hicago stadium. Lee will tackle Joey Brown of Syracuse in a six-rounder. In the event Paul disposes of Brown he will be given a main go match with Varias Milling, Filipino, in Cincinnati, on Feb. 13. Brown is highly regarded in eastern featherweight circles. N. C. A. G. U. NETMEN PLAY CENTRAL NORMAL By Unit< <1 Press DANVILLE, Ind..

sion tickets then will go on sale at the Armory at 7 p. m. The bouts start at 8. Officials pian for all action to be completed Friday night, except Open class finals and Novice class semi-finals and finals, which will be staged at the Armory Feb. 15. Approximately 25 bouts are assured for this week's session. Six city Open champions, crowned at a recent tournament at the South Side Turners A. C., remain in the Golden Gloves competition. They are Ray Waggoner, flyweight; Bud Cottey, bantamweight; Squeak Bruggeman, lightweight; Henry Harrell, welterweight; John Chesanus, middleweight, and Charles Wilds, lignt heavyweight. Waggoner, Coitey, Harrell and Wilds have yet to see initial action in the Times-Legion event. Last week’s action was featured by the first-round knockout defeat of Johnnie Krukemeier, city featherweight kingbee. His brother, Jim-

Sarpolis’ Foot ‘Slips’ and Kuss Is Declared Victor

It’s an ill breeze that doesn’t give somebody a break. For instance. * hen Everett Marshall got all tangled up with the law in Kansas City after a little extra-curricular work in a mat bout and couldn't get here ffr his scheduled tussle with Karl (Doc) Sarpolis af the Armory last nignt. it gave Otto Kuss, the elongated Indiana University grappler. a chance to test his prowess against a topnotcher. And

Otto cashed in for full value. The lanky collegian, who has been in the business professionally only six weeks, today boasted a two-fall triumph over Sarpolis. the ex-Chicago U. star, who ranks among the head men of the ooneI twisting profession. A low kick, apparently accidental I on Sarpolis’ part, forced Referee Heze Clark to award the victory to Kuss after 29 minutes of action in the second fall. Otto surprised Sarpolis in the first fall. The Chicagoan rushed from his comer at the bell and clamped a body scissors on the collegian. Kuss squirmed to the ropes. While Doc was complaining to Referee Clark. Kuss picked himself up from the floor and flying-tackled Sarpolis out of action. This all happened in less than a minute. Otto gave his veteran foe a lively tussle before the accident halted acj tivities. Sarpolis’ experience gave ! him the edge, however, and several times Kuss went scurrying under the ropes to escape punishing holds.

STATE H. S. TRACK TEAMS TO MEET HERE

Annual Butler Relays Receive Wide Support Plans for Track Event Are Formulated at Local Meeting. BY DICK MILLER Plans tor Butler University’s third annual indoor relays, to be held in :he fieldhouse Saturday, Ma cn 23, were formulated yesterc’._„ at a luncheon attended by university athletic officials. Relays-of-ficials and newspapermen. Hermon Phillips, Bulldog track coach and founder of the Relays, presided. Popularity of the Relays games ! and proof that they are attracting i interest all over the country is evi- ; denced in tne fact that already Mr. Phillips nas leceived entry lists from 22 schools while last year at this time just two had signified their intentention of coming here. Belief that a complete new set of records for the Butler Relays, as well as possibly some new world records, might be established was expressed by Coach Phillips. He said that a complete new track, consisting of a harder soil that packs better and still permits sound footing for the spike-shoed speedsters, has been built in the fieldhouse. Scoring System Changed To make the indoor track festival appeal to every group of sport followers, Butler has added anew 40cent admission for unreserved seats. All the balcony seats will be reserved at sl.lO, tax included, and box seats on the ground floor surrounding the track at $1.65. All other new changes in the program this year will be for the purpose of making the Relays event of ! more interest to the spectators as well as enjoyable. Afternoon eliminations will be held in the shot put, high and broad jumps and pole vault, with only the six best qualifying for tne finals at night. A changed scoring system to give the teams that w r in Relay events a better score than winners of individual events nas been adopted. In an effort to stimulate interest in the meet locally, a committee has been formed to make direct appeal to alumni of schools who have strong track and field teams to get their alma maters to enter the local event. Committee Is Named The committee will be Cecil Weathers, of Indiana University; Superior Court Judge Herbert Wilson, formerly of Michigan, and Verle Campbell, of Purdue. They j will contact alumni of Notre Dame, De Pauw, Chicago, Marquette, ll- ' linois and other schools and there promises to be some spinted rooting sections at the games this year. Personal effort to interest the best runner and field event performers in the country v ill be made this week when Coach Phillips goes to New r York to take .n the Millrose games. Efforts also will be made to interest the winners of events in the New York A. C. games, Feb. 16; the Knights of Columbus games in Brooklyn and the Armour Tech Relays in Chicago, March 16, the week before the local event.

my, a featherweight Novice, will carry on ri.day night. Others in his division are Edward Jones and Robert Clarke, unattached, and James Long and William DeWerre, two hardy FERA mittmen. Wilmer Hardesty, conquerer of Johnnie Krukcmeier, has as contenders in the featherweight Open division Tommy Davidson and Wilbur Boyce, the latter a Negro speedster. Four heavyweights are scheduled to battle it out for places in the Open finals. They are Russell Bennett. Negro, from the Miller A. C., Cambridge City, Ind.; Harold Kaiser, also of the Miller A. C.; Jack Coffelt, Ft. Harrison, and Marshall Kealing, Colonial A. C. Tournament officials have announced a public address system will be ready for use in introducing the fighters at Friday night’s show. Ticket prices are 40 cents general admission ard 75 cents ringside reserved.

Anew all-time local villians-in-the-ring-at-one-time record was esl tablishcd at the start of the semiwindup. There was strutting Billy Edwards, who looks like he's crying but isn’t; Dick Raines, the Texas Tornado; Sol Slagel. Topeka “meanie.” who challenged the winner—and Referee Clark, object of the fans ire week in and week out. And Lou Plummer, local public mat enemy No. 1, had just left the ring. Edwards, the man with the big chest, specializes in chiropractic holds, and he gave Raines a first class treatment last night. After Roughouse Richard had won the first fall with a series of flips after nine minutes of tussling. Edwards clamped on a headlock and started twisting away to take the second flop in eight minutes. The deciding pin went only six minutes when Edwards “knuckled down' 1 and forced Raines to yelp "uncle.” In the opener, the much-booed Mr. Plummer finished up his night's work early by blasting out Jack Hogue in nine minutes.

Campbell Arrives With His Bluebird Refuses to Predict What Speed He'll Attain. By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—More conservative in predictions than in driving his Bluebird, Sir Malcolm Campbell is sure of only one thing: He has a good automobile. Upon his arrival from England, the British driver who made 272 miles an hour two years ago at Daytona Beach, Fla., refused to make a prediction as to how fast he probably would travel next month. “Faster than before perhaps,’’ he said. However, he expressed himself as certain he could make 300 miles an hour in his overhauled, new'streamlined Bluebird if he had sufficient room inw'hich to start and stop. He feels the 11-mile stretch at Daytona Beach is too short. Lady Campbell and their daughter Jean will watch him drive for anew record. The party will leave late today for Florida.

‘Y’ Swimmers Take on Columbus Team The Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. senior and junior swimming teams will swing into action here Saturday night against the Columbus (Ind.) Boys’ Club squads. The Columbus teams recently defeated the locals in the down-state tank. The Indianapolis “Y” has won four and lost three meets this season. Howard Krick. who has not been defeated in the breast or back i stroke this season, is expected to lead the scoring for the local “Y.” Other mainstays are Dick Hunt in the back stroke events and John Barkhaus in the breast stroke. Preceding the meet will be a basketball game between the Columbus five and the Y. M. C. A. Musketeers. The local “Y” team has won 18 out of 20 games this season.

OFF THFfyiAQUIOAIII DEAR BACKBOARD—What has happened to those industrious press agents of our city champions? It begins to look as if little old Ben Davis put a muzzier on them. The Continentals have just discovered that the crown is too heavy for their heads and they’re trying to get out from under it by saying nothing about it. At least, Continental Jake is the only one you have put in your column.

They’ll want to bury that crown W'hen they leave Manual’s gym next Friday night, because they’ll be smarting from a whipping by the Redsxins, w'ho will prove without doubt that the championship is in the wrong end of tow'n and that Tech's victory in the city tourney w 7 as merely a mishap. Yours, SOUTH SIDE SANDY, a u tt Bless your buttons, Backboard, get out that date book! Have you gone and overlooked that date those chummy little playmates from the West and South made for Friday night? Yessir, there ’tis in black and white. The Red and White mixes with the Purple and White. What a blend! Here’s that man from Manual with all the little particulars—as inspired by a southern exposure, of course. tt tt tt DEAR BACKBOARD—ManuaI tangles with Washington’s city champs at the Redskin gym Friday night in the feature attraction for the week-end card. Adding fuel to the prospective fireworks is the fact that in four previous contests between these tw r o schools, each has come off victorious exactly two times. Friday’s tilt is the rubber contest of the series. It seems far-fetched to talk big about the South Siders after their one point deficit to Tech. How’ever, Manual overwhelmed Cathedral, which just last week eked out a win over Shortridge. LAST MINUTE FLASH—Monday’s practice for the Redskins: Three hardwood aces—Gallamore, Brandon and Nahmias —calmly drop the leather through the hoop on most of their attempts from far out on the field. Subtle star-gazing Manual’s quintet to trump Washington’s ace (get that slam—it’s the rubber game*—a little added forecasting—margin, five to seven points.

inherent in all Hoosier quints—and it's about due, unless Mack intends to keep it in storage until March. In Rushville lies the threat. The Lions have done fairly well by themselves this season. They beat Tech, 20 to 11. Their meeting with arch enemy No. 1, Connersville, Friday night may serve either to tire 'em, or—if they win to put ’em on edge. ABIE MASTERS’ Jeff of Lafayette Bronchos one-handed their way to another jitter-pro-ducing victory at Frankfort last night. They managed to outspeed the Casemen to the hum of 28-24 in an overtime sprint which takes its place alongside the JeffLogansport tussle of last week for thrills, spills and last minute chills. Backboard, in a deep quandary as to whether those solo-handed hook and breast shots from deep out on the floor were a habit or a flash with the Jeffmen, decided to slip over to Hot Dog town last night to get a little peace of mind. The best piece of mind he got was from Chic Yarbrough after the game. It’s beginning to dawn on Backboard —and a few gentlemen who run teams in that vicinity—that those stocky Bronchos don’t trust to luck when they jump high in the air and single-mitten that sphere towards the hoop. Their accuracy is tell-tale that they have worked It down to a machine-like maneuver. The Hot Dogs, with fve smart players in Vaughn, Montgomery, McCreary, Miner and Livesay, took the fire away from the jeffmen in the first half, held a sixpoint advantage at one .time, and wound up on the popular end of a 14 to 10 tally at the intermission. In the third quarter the most expert of the expert Jeff booster shooters, Young and Vyverberg, found their mark and the Broncs tacked up six buckets in nine attempts! a a a The Frankfortmen rolled in hut three of It tries and the Broncs took the lead. But the Case tightened on the visitors in the last round and the boys wound up even at 24-24. In the last few minutes of the regulation time it was block as block can and may the devil take the guv in front of the push. This spirit continued into the overtime. Young clinched the game with a followin swisher and Dickinson sewed it up for transportation back home with his only basket of the night. COACHES* CLIFF*WELLS and Raymond Pete Jolly of Logansport and Muncie respectively, and respectfully, were on hand. , . . Both have engagements with the Hot Dogs soon. . . . Logansport meets ’em twice yet. . . . Backboard’s nomination for the best foul tosser witnessed this season is Montgomery, Frankfort’s center. . . . That’s not news if you’ve seen him flip ’em. . . . He made three of four last night. ... He missed the fourth with the crowd surging him on the playing floor. . . . Referee Birch Bayh called the foul just as the game ended and the fans, unmindful, pell-melled on the hardwood. ... It was all of five minutes after the game ended before space could be cleared for Montgomery to try the toss. ...

Be Careful , Mr. Johnston Jimmy Johnston thinks that every boxing champion of 193 -i will lose his crown in 1935. And a lot of persons are thinking that Jimmy will lose his job as matchmaker for Madison Square Garden in New York before the year is gone. He’s on the s^ot.

Here's how he'll look behind the bat. Dempsey Can’t Be Garden Referee N. Y. Commission Surly at Business Session. By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—The New York State Athletic Commission would welcome a legislative investigation. Furthermore, Jack Dempsey can't referee at Madison Square Garden Friday night. Moreover, Madison Square Garden, and not the commission,, is killing boxing. In one of its stormiest sessions, the rulers of boxing took this stand yesterday, deciding they were all right. The commission will not permit Dempsey to referee the Art LaskyJames J. Braddock show Friday night because this would smack of dictation by the Garden and would be unfair to the regular licensed referees, who are rotated. The commission charged that gamblers were overrunning the Garden, and suggested that if the Garden wished to know what was wrong with boxing it need only find the answer why Barney Ross, the lightweight champion, and other outstanding fighters refuse to fight under Garden promotion.
