By Eddie Ash TOTS COURT INDIANAPOLIS AID m m m ITHREE-I LEAGUE COMES TO LIFE

'tvnill a near-panic on in the major leagues owing to the bad fix several clubs are in for ready money to meet spring training expenses and pay rolls, the minor baseball circuits are gloryifying themselves by looking at the new year through the well-known rose-colored glasses. Even the Three-I League, out of the picture since July 1932, is in the process of entering the field again with six clubs. Terre Haute, Evansville and Ft. Wayne, Indiana cities, and Peoria, Bloomington and Decatur, in Illinois, are sprouting new life and their representatives hope to effect a surefire organization next Sunday, the deadline for the posting of forfeit money, $1,500 by each club. Terre Haute baseball organizers were in Indianapolis today soliciting support from Owner Norman A. Perry of the Indians and it is said that Perry and Red Killefer, Tribe manager, are willing to tie up with tl.e Tots and help give the “revived'’ circuit an encouraging send-off. In the event Indianapolis and Terre Haute reach an amicable agreement it is said Bill Burwell may be sent to manage the Tots and look after the Indians’ share of the investment.

mam Right Kail, Right Club TKJAMING it the Three-I League will be a misnomer, because actually It will be a two-orb loop, Indiana and Illinois. Five of the clubs seeking membership claim outside backing as follows: Evansville, by Detroit; Decatur, by Minneapolis; Terre Haute, by Indianapolis; Peoria, by Chicago Cubs; Bloomington. by St. Louts Cardinals. Ralph Miller, representing Ft. Wayne, says he has been promised help by the Chicago White Sox. Miller says he will be owner and manager of the Chiefs. Ralph used to perform with the Indians at old Washington Park. He owns the ball park at Ft. Wayr.e and operates a tavern and dance hall at the park's entrance. It's necessary to pass through the night club to enter the park and Miller thinks that’s swell. He also has a supply-of uniforms on hand, as well as baseball equipment. The Three-I plan is to open the season May 5 and close on Sept. 8. The majority of games will be played at night, which wIU make business boom at Ralph Miller's hot spot if his Chiefs are flag contenders. a m a Purdue Tops Bucks Although the purdue-ohio State basketball series which will be renewed in Lafayette Monday night has been unusually keenly contested and filled with overtime battles, the Boilermakers hold a nice edge. Out of 22 games between the two quintets since 1918, Purdue has won 17 against only five losses. The Boilermakers’ home ■i schedule for the remainder of the season follows: 9 Feb. 4—With Ohio State. Feb. 16—With Illinois. Feb. 18 —With Indiana March 4—With Wisconsin. The Purdue netters have won nine games this season, including s engagements with non-conference ' teams. A single loss was to Illinois at Urbana by a one-point margin. ana Sears Real Threat JOE M'CLUSKEY. the former Fordham flash and winner of the two-mile run at the Boston K. j of C. games last week. is the favorite to cop the long-distance event in the Millrose games in New York tomorrow night. Looming as real threats, however, are Ray Sears, the local Butler University sensation, and Don Lash of Indiana University. Lash was among McCluskey’s victims last Saturday, but the I. U. star is going back for more. Lash captured the national cross-country title in 1934. Sears of Butler may be McCluskey’s most dangerous foe. The Indianapolis entrant in the Millrose two-nule ran the distance in 9:07.4 last winter, and that is recorded as the fastest time ever turned in by • an American indoors. m m m Fast Start at I. U. JNDIANA UNIVERSITY teams have breezed away to a good start since the first of the year. Three teams—basketball, wrestling and swimming—have won 10 games and lost two. They have compiled a total of 407 points to their opponents’ aggregate of 264 points, or an average a game or match of 31.3 points to their opponents’ 20.3 points. The w restling squad has the best | record for the new year, having won four victories with 99 points to their victims’ 15 markers. In the one meet before the new year opened, the matmen defeated Evansville Y. M. C. A.. 28-0. to make up a clean slate for the season to date. The basketball team has won four games and lost one. scoring 160 points to 137. The swimming team has won two of three meets and registered 139 tallies to 112. The track team, the other Indiana competitor in indoor sports, will begin dual competition Feb. 8 against Ohio State. H. ST BASKETBALL SCORES I nwr<!>n S3! Roosevelt (East Chicago*. IS.

Lewis Files Protest After Violent Mix With Londos Ed Says He Was Strangled;' Both Grapplers and Referee Tumble Out of Ring. By United Press ST. LOUIS, Feb. I.—The Missouri State Athletic Commission, refusing to accept as final the award of a wrestling match to champion Jim Londos over Ed (Strangler) Lewis here last night, has called a meeting lor tomorrow to consider Lewis’ protest that he was strangled while Referee Ted Tonneman of Boston was out of the ring.

Both Lewis and Londos, near the end of the match, threw each other out of the ring, Lewis with what appeared to be a right-hand smash to the jaw. Londos with an over--the-top-rope flip. As Lewis finally j charged back, he hurled or pushed j Tonneman out of the ring as if he 1 were a rag doll. Before Tonneman could return.j Londos applied several holds, in- j eluding one which appeared to be j a “strangler.” Lewis succumbed in | 1 hour 3 minutes. Tonneman awarding the verdict to the champion— l only to have it ruled not final. When i Lewis was pitched out of the ring he landed on the press table. It was the roughest match the two veterans have engaged in for; years, with each other or against j other opponents. Londos defeated Lewis in Chicago last summer in a mild affair compared with the violent bout here last night. Nearly 16.000 fans saw the bout. 10 CUBS NOT SIGNED By United Press CHICAGO. Feb. I.—Thomas Hugh Casey, rookie pitcher from the Atlanta Southern League club, has signed his 1935 contract, reducing the unsigned Chicago Cubs to 10, Business Manager Charles Weber announced last night.
