By Eddie Ash HOLDOITS? HOLDOUT FOR WHAT? m m m PLAYERS LUCKY TO HAVE JOBS
r T''IIE big league ball players are not broadcasting their salary troubles in loud tones this winter and when the starting bell rings in the spring the guess is that every body of importance will be signed up.. That situation in the National League at Roston has convinced the smart players that baseball will l>e lucky to survive with two major loops of eight clubs each. The Braves, Phillies and Reds in the National and the White Sox and Browns in the American have been in reo ink so long that it’s hard telling what another year will mear.. The Reds have the best chance to climb out of the financial doldrums because there is only the one club in Cincy. In Boston the Red So>. have taken the play away from the Braves, in Chicago the Cubs easily outdraw the Sox, in Philadelphia the Athletics overshadow the Phillies, and in St. Louis the poor, old Browns are shoved 1 .gilt out of the picture by the Dean Brothers and the world champion Cardinals.
n n n A o Place to Move TIMES are so tough in Chicago, even at the home of the Cubs, Wrigley Field, that the ovuer, P K Wrigley, is spending heavy sugar conducting a winter advertising campaign, the first time in the history of the game that a ball club has gone to that extent in an effort to build up business at the gate. The deep thinkers are alarmed. Changes in the two circuits have been proposed, but the truth is there is no place to go. If ways could be found to invade International League and American Association territory, it would be a problem to find a spot to light. Baltimore and Montreal, two “logicals” in the International, both are playing night baseball trying to overcome poor business. The same situation prevails in Milwaukee, the one “logical” big league city in the American Association. The Brewers dropped a fortune in 1933, changed hands and scored a fair comeback in 1934. but at the same time the owners believe they will have to go to the night lights this year to show a profit. Yes. the baseball holdout will b< a scarce article this year. The cost of living is going up and Mr. John Public is going to have to scratch for amusement money. As well as Babe Ruth likes baseball he declines to buy stock in a ball club. It is said any number of managerial jobs would be at the Babe’s disposal if he agreed to invest and become part owner. nun Investment of $3,000,000 TOM SHAWKEY. young millionaire owner of the Boston Red Sox. says that the $250,000 he spent for Short sot p Joe Cronin is good security for $3,000,000 he has put into the Bean town club in the last two years. “It's just like buying securities.” J says Yawkey. “Cronin is my se- j curity. I have a big investment in j Boston. If by sinking $250,000 more into it I can make it a paying investment, then I've done all right. “I wanted Cronin worse than I wanted money, i had more money, ] but I didn't have a shortstop like ! Cronin —nor a manager. “Os course, everybody's right when they say no ball player is worth $250,000. Maybe Cronin in himself isn't worth $250,000. but I believe he's the man to make a club a championship outfit.” n n n Business Is Business AND how would you like to be in a position to sell your son-in-law for $250,000? Joe Cronin was manager and shortstop of the Washington Americans and he led the Senators to the American League pennant in 1933. He was the idol of the District of Columbia. Evidently Joe read somewhere that it was a good idea to marry the bosses daughter. At any rate he courted the daughter of Owner Clark Griffith and a wedding followed. Shortly thereafter Griffith closed one of the biggest cash deals ir baseball history by selling his nev son-in-law to the Red Sox for a quarter of a million. Toxv Clerk Griffith! He is doing right well. The average son-in-laws rate at about a dime a dozen. And Mrs. Joe Cronin, by the way, was an adopted daughter. Can that guy Griffith pick ’em. or can he? He bought Cronin for almost nothing from the Kansas City club when Joe was having trouble hitting minor league pitching. nut r For *Y* Setters THE thirteenth annual international Y. M. C.

Klein Asks for 2-Year Contract Cub Holdout Also Wants No Salary Change. By United Press CHICAGO. Feb. 2.—Chuck Klein isn't a holdout—he only wants a two-year contract and the same money he drew last year. That's what the Chicago Cubs’ outfielder told Manager Charlie Grimm in a personal letter. The Cubs aren’t giving contracts for more than one year and Klein’s batting average of .301 last year won't support him, in business office estimation, in a debate over salary figures.

C. wrestling card next Tuesday night at the Armory.
Buck Weaver, 220, a rough performer from Chicago, will test Harper in the opening tussle on the Tuesday bill. Paul also scales 220. Harper was a big favorite here a year and a half ago. After leaving this vicinity, he campaigned in the South and on the West Coast. Paul was an all-round athlete a few years ago at Southern Methodist University. He is known as one of the best looking” huskies in the game. A rematch between a pair of twofisted experts features Tuesday's program.

RECORDS SET IN GOLDEN GLOVES TOURNEY
Largest Crowd Ever to See Times-Legion Boxing Session Attends Battles at Armory Receipts Exceed Those for Any One Previous Round of Fights at Annual Event; Second City Champ Eliminated as Field Narrows to 45. BY WAYNE FOX The largest crowd that ever attended a Golden Gloves boxing show in Indianapolis—no less than 3500—saw sixteen slashing young fighters win their way into the closing rounds of the annual tournament at the Armory last night. Another record also was set, in that the second night of the tourney drew the largest total gate receipts collected at any one session in the three years the amateur event has been held here. The local Golden Gloves tourneys are sponsored by The Times and Bruce Robinson Post of the American Legion.
Finals of the current meet are set for Feb. 15 at the Armory. At that time, approximately 45 amateurs will battle for the titles. Open class winners will be sent to Chicago to represent Indianapolis in the Mid-West tournament of Golden Gloves champions. Last night’s show brought a knockout in the first clash. Total kayoes for the evening was eight and, in addition, two boys were unable to continue after warning their opening encounters. Bouts are for three two-minute rounds. Fans Koar Approval The first of the two bouts in which the victors were incapacitat- | ed was between George Hoyt, FERA battler, and Charlie Benson, Washington A. C., middleweights in the novice class. Benson took two nine-counts in | the second round, but came back ! and had Hoyt bleeding. Both were t staggering at the bell. In the third, Benson took one in the eye, sent Hoyt to his knees, went on the ropes himself, went down for an eightcount and then came back fighting. Practically every fan in the house was standing up or screaming as the two middleweights finished their brawl. Hoyt gained the decision, but was so worn out he defaulted to a team mate, Arthur McTerry, in a later bout. Jimmy George, Y. M. C. A. lightweight, won a close decision over Bill Browlee, Washington A. C., in one of the early tilts, but defaulted to Johnny Grable, Pretzel Bell star, who already had beaten a tough opponent in George Bills. Jimmy Kruckemeier Wins Two gamesters—Tommy Lefevere, FERA. and Bob Hadley, unattached, 112-pounders—decided they hadn't had enough after Referee Ernie Bonsell halted the bout near the close of the first round. So they climbed back in the ring and went at it for two more rounds with Lefevere getting the decision. Both got plenty of applause. Little Jimmy Krukemeier. brother of Johnny Krukemeier, city Open featherweight title holder, who met his downfall in less than one round at last week’s tourney, carried on for the South Side Turners last night by winning his way to the finals of the 118-pound, bantamweight, Open class. Jimmy halted Bob Clark, unattached, in the third round of their semi-final match. Wilmer Hardesty, who knocked Johnny Krukemeier out of the competition. advanced to the bantamweight finals last night by taking a close decision over Tommy Davidson, Washington A. C. Hardesty is from the 11.l 1 . &K. Health Club. City A’elter King Beaten Henri Hair ell, city welterweight champion, from the Y. M. C. A., was eliminated from the competition when decisioned in a semi-final tussle by Carl Maxwell, Ft. Harrison lightweight, who represented Indianapolis in the Chicago Golden tournament last year. Harrell had been allowed to compete in the lightweight open division after he reduced his weight. City champions who will be seen in action at the final round of the tourney, Feb. 15, are Ray (Shorty) Waggoner, flyweight; Bud Cottey, bantam; Siegfried (Squeak) Bruggeman, lightweight; John Chesanus, middleweight, and Charles Wilds, light lightweight.

Ice Hockey With Punch!

WHAT started out to be a hockey game between the New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks in Madison Square Garden turned out to be a free-for-all fight, when Tom Cook, of the Hawks, and Ott Heller, of the Rangers, swapped punches. In the top photo the beginning of the fight is shown, with Heller and Cook at right starting the engagement. Lower picture is the finish of the fight, with most of the participants on the ice.
DFFIHFPMOAIIII WHEN Washington and Manual get together to iron out a dispute, I’m in favor of a larger gym, less people, and an abundance of S. R. O. signs. When your tattle-tale arrived on the scene last night the local fando mwas bulging clear outside the outer doors of the Manual bucket shop. Some of the wiser outsiders were moving in and out of the doors in shifts. The scribbler was fortunate to have a spot
of resting vantage. The tussle was as close as they manufacture ’em until they swung into the five minute mark in the final quarter. It was then the Continentals suddenly discovered that going under the basket was far less difficult than it appeared. Lasley made the discovery when he dribbled under as easy as that, and followed up with two more of the same thing. Dietz and Hooser took the hint and contributed a goal apiece from down under, thus putting the scoreboard out of reach of the Redskins. It must be said that, even in victory, the city champions displayed little of the style they exhibited in copping the championship. Ragged passing was heavily indulged in by both teams. Manual was in possession of the sphere the majority of the time. Gallamore’s batting average took a hefty slump. nun BACKBOARD —Just in case you are interested in seeing a preview of the Indianapolis regional —Ben Davis plays at Plainfield tonight. Come over and see some real basketball. R. E. B. Dear R. E. B.—Thanks for the invite. Bill Bugg, who was singeing the Butler draperies back around ’27, is shooting the works

v n u TECH, going up, meets Franklin, coming down, at the East Side net emporium tonight. The Campbellmen ascended two floors last week, passing up Lebanon and Columbus. The Grizzly Cubs have dropped four flights in half as many weeks. Tim Campbell, moulder of powerful pivot men, is finding the clay pretty tough to fashion this semester, and it was just with the last two games that his labor began to show results. If the Tech pivoter holds Eugene Anderson to eight points it should be cause for a hallelujah chorus in the Green camp. nun . .

One Chance in Ten for Crawford to Carry On By United Press KINGSTON, N. C., Feb. 2.—Condition of Pat Crawford, St. Louis Cardinals’ utility player last year, remained critical today, physicians said.

Track Marks Threatened in Garden Meet Millrose Games Attract 16,000; Hoosier Stars Among Favorites. BY IAWTON CARVER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Feb. 2.—A capacity crowd of 16,000 will be packed into Madison Square Garden tonight for the 28th annual Millrose games. Other hundreds will be turned away so ticket sales were stopped last night. Potential dramatics in the Wanamaker mile and in the Millrose 600 meters, in particular, and probable record-breaking in hurdling, jumping and vaulting, have made the annual meet the most attractive in years. Athletes from 20 states, the District of Columbia, Sweden and Canada representing 38 colleges, will compete in the 15 events scheduled. Being eligible only on invitation, the entrants have been called to a choice few. Old Rivalry Renewed The Wanamaker mile is expected to pack the most thrills. Anew record is foreseen when Glenn Cunningham of Kansas, indoor 1500meter and indoor and outdoor mile champion of the world, meets Bill Bonthron of Princeton, outdoor 1500-meter record-holder, in renewal of their rivalry which stands at three victories for Bonthron in five starts. Gene Venzke of Pennsylvania also will be in the race, trying again to get a decision over Cunningham and Bonthron despite coaches advice to stick to longer distances where his lack of a “kick” at the tape matters little. Eric Ny of Sweden and Bill Ray of Manhattan College also will be trying. Cunningham, because of his world indoor mile record of 4:08.4 and even better outdoor mark of 4:06.7, has been established the favorite. Hombostel, Fuqua Foes Alan Helffrich’s 600-yard record of 1:11.6, which has stood for a decade is threatened by at least two entered in the Millrose “600” Chuck Hornbostel and Ivan Fuqua, ex-captains at Indiana. Milton Sandler of the German-American A. C. and Jim Elliott of Villa Nova also are entered. There is at least one record-hold-er in every event on the program, and whatever the runners fail to do in clipping old marks probably will be accomplished by Percy Beard, the Auburn profesosr who holds all the high-grade records at standard distances, or Keith Brown of Yale, a record-shattering pole vaulter who has cleared 14-4, picked to lift the ceiling.
