By Eddie Ash SPEED TRIALS REQUIRE EXPERTS m m m lA. A. A. IN CHARGE AT DAYTONA
TT takes an elaborate organization to supervise the straightaway auto speed trials at Day ana Beach, Ha., where Sir Malcolm Campbell is poised with his “Bluebird” ready to burn up the sand in an effort to better his own mark of 272.108 miles an hour in his SIOO,OOO car. The world speed trials are under the supervision of the contest board of the American Automobile Association. Th* AAA also handles the trials of the Diesel oil-burning motors which Dave Evans of Indianapolis will make with his "Hemphill Waukesha Comet and Bill Cummings of Indianapolis with a "Cummins Diesel.’ The Diesel record is 120 33 miles an hour. Indianapolis men are included among the A. A. A. officials. They are T general manager of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Odi: Porter, official timer. Mr. Porter "times’’ the 500-mile race here every year He can clock 'em within one-thousandth of a second. Mr Myers Is referee at Daytona Beach.
r m a Every I)ny Statistics THE AAA. speed trials report covers every hour of any day in which a trial is attempted. The massive 11-mile system of telephones, through wr.ich a constant check on the progress of the Bluebird is made at every mile during the run. is manned by representatives of the contest board. A1 o the scores of flags that line the beach to guide Sir Malcolm Campbell r a true course and the timing traps—thm aviation wire the course—to record the passing of the Bluebnd at each mile post are set at measured distances under A A A. supervision. Winds, tides, visibility are conatantlv checked by the three “A" and at every lew tide, no matter the time of dav or night, an official car speeds along the course, constantly testing for a perfect beach. Weather reports are kept up to the minute and reams of statistical data are compiled by officials. m m m Double Knockout THF. Golden Gloves ticket agencies report a brisk sale for the finals show at the Armory Friday night. And this is not an idle boast. The Times-Legion amateur fistic tournev is going to pack 'em in this wV when the champions are crowned. There are 39 survivors, counting both classes. Open and Novice, and 24 will have to be eliminated Friday, leaving seven Novice champions and eight Open title holders. No heavyweights entered the Nr vice division. A customer from the far North Side writes that in his opinion the two previous shows were “wows” and that he will be occupying a ringside seat again at the third and last classic. “Truly.” he said, “it’s the best entertainment offered for a lone time : 1 this city and all I hope is that everybody planning to go can get in iYiday. I am safe, with mv ticket m my pocket.” This reminds thus column con- , ductor of an incident that happened on the second night of the Golden Gloves. Two fans had a head-on collision in an aisle due to the fact they were stepping along with heads turned toward the ring watching a thriller scrap. They came together with a sharp smack and both were sent spinning. It was a double knockout that didn't go into the official record. m m m Packers Pack Punch TAKING on all comers in independent and professional basketball. the Hilgemeier Packers of Indianapolis have established a marvelous record. Last year's record was 52 games won against one defeat and ’his season the Packers have annexed 16 out of 17. The single setback last year was at the hands of the Lafayette Blue Ribbons who were trounced by the Packers in a second contest. The one defeat chalked against the Hiigemeiers this season was by the Firestones of Akron. O. The Rubber outfit was knocked off by the locals in an earlier tilt. The Wilberforce College five of Ohio. Negro collegiate champs, will be in Indianapolis tonight to mix with the Hilgemeiers at Pcnnsv gym. Other features billed are the Packers vs. New York Renaissance at Butler fl ldhouse Feb. 20 and a second skirmish with the Indianap-

IF you listen to the talk over the state, you will discover that an alarming number of coaches intend to devote the next two weeks to “finessing.” That’s the smooth way to indicate they're plotting to “throw” a game or two. They want to leave their chin open for a fast one, it seems, so that opposing sectional and regional scouts will go home saying, “What an over-rated outfit that is! We’ll chop ’em up
into third rate veal birds.” Os course, the spying scouts won't have the least suspicion that that wily old coach was “finessing.” Probably they don’t have time to read the papers. And they're sent to probe out the clever plays, not to doubt the extent of their rival-to-be’s desire to win. 000 WITH so many coaches out to • finesse” for the state tourney. there’s bound to be a mouldy game or two sooner or later. That is. a couple of these “finessing" teams are going to meet —both intent on ’ finessing" to the utmost. And when that happens, folks, you'll be perfectly justified in going to play pinochle after the first half. Meiding has taken the fire away from finessing now. anyhow. an n IF the truth were on tap. it probably would come out that many of these season-end tailspins aren't “finesses” at all—just results of the old best-man-win natural law. A coach can neither add nor subtract much to his prestige when the alleged “finessing" season sets in. He is protected in defeat. but th'-J is no glory in victory. If his boys lose, that's okay —the coach is “finessing.” If his boys win, it doesn't mean much — the opposing coach tossed the game in his lap. 000 The talk over the state says “finessing tinie” is here. But keep it under your hat. There's going to be a lot of ball games thrown away uselessly if those scouts find out about it. 000 Coach marvin snoddy writes that his Maxwell High School courtmen have an open date on their schedule for either Feb. 22 or 23. Maxwell would like to book a game away from home on one of those dates. The season record to date for Maxwell is 16 won, two lost. 'Nough said. If Interested, write Coach Marvin Snoddy, Maxwell, Ind. 000 Old Pal Backboard—(nice chap) —Well, we turned Southport and Ben Davis every way but loose. Any one who gets in our way from here to the state can expect the same. Our dander is up. I don't believe that a team as good as ours can be beaten four times in one year by any one enemy (Pittsboro). This last game is the one that counts, so well put on the pressure somewhat. Don’t think that Plainfield and Pittsboro are the only tough teams in the Danville sectional. Myself, I believe that we will play Ben Davis. Anderson and Fortville at the Tech regional.

Coach Tony Hinkle’s Bulldog squad has won eight conference I games without a defeat. Indiana Central, the next nearest contender, j has a record of 10 league victories j and two losses and can take the j title if Butler drops its two remain- | ing conference contests. Wabash Here Saturday Wabash, Butler’s foe here next Saturday mgnt, also has a mathematical chance at the state secondary college * itle with six wins, two lasses and nur games to be played. Butler’s other remaining league foe, in addition to Wabash, is Indiana State. No’re Dame will play the Bulldogs here Feb. 23. The Warriors from Danville gave indications of putting up a stiff battle last night as they cut an early Butler lead to 9-8, but from then on the Bulldogs used a smooth passing attack which rapidly snowed Central Normal under. Reserves Used Coach Hinkle sent his second team and then his third team into the game in the closing eight minutes. The score at the half was 31 to 15 in the Bulldogs favor. All members of Butler’s starting five chalked up at least seven points, witii Toy Jones and Ralph Brafford leading the attack with 11 each. Blanda and Englehart were high scorers for the Warriors.

DEFENSE IS STRESSED IN ATTUCKS WORKOUT The Crispus Attucks High School basketball team is preparing diligently this week for games with Springfield this Friday and Smithville Saturday.

C. squad remaining in the Times-Legion tournament is Eugene Crank, 175-pounder, who will mix with Charley Wilds, Indianapolis city champion from the South Side Turners, for the Golden Gloves light heavyweight Open crown. The trainer for the Miller A. C. is Archie Hindman, former professional boxer, and the club manager is Lloyd Miller. They have been producing capable fighters for several years and have lent hearty and straightforward co-operation to previous TimesLegion boxing tourneys. A field of 39 top-notch fighters, including five city and Marion County title holders, will see action in the Novice finals and Open semi-finals and finals here. Twenty-five bouts are assured. Reserved seat tickets are on sale at Haag's Claypool Hotel Drug Store, Illinois and Washing-ton-sts, and Lemcke’s Service Shop, 108 E. Market-st, for sl. The show is almost certain to be a sellout.
Marshall Upsets Davis in Stirring Match at Armory Ring Post Snaps as Colorado Grappler Tosses Big Boy Against Ropes; Edwards Downs Marvin. Karl Davis may be big and tough to some, but he was just another wrestler to Everett Marshall last night. Everett met the Columbus (O.) clouter at his own terms in the Hercules A. C. mat feature at the Armory, and disposed of the husky bruiser in straight falls.
For thrills and wild and woolly action, the Davis-Marshall melee set anew high, reaching its climax when the Colorado blond hurled Davis into the ropes with so much enthusiasm that a ring post snapped in two and the ropes were strewn over the mat. This happened after 20 minutes of punching and tugging. Marshall made short work of the Big Boy after that, battering him about the undraped ring and flooring him with a volley of punches. Job for Carpenters It took a half-dozen carpenter and rope twisters 30 minutes to repair the damage the huskies had accomplished in a few minutes. With anew ring post installed, the grapplers resumed hostilities just where they had left off. Davis battered Everett’s head on j the iron ring braces, then tossed ! him out on to the floor. Twice Marshall tried to return, and just as many times was kicked out again by the Big Boy. The next time Marshall grabbed Davis, planted a right solidly in the Davis tummy, and dived through the ropes to nail him to the canvas. This took just seven minutes. Nearly 4000 fans who for weeks have been clamoring for Davis’ scalp were on hand to see the “Buckeye Bad Boy” humbled, and when Marshall accomplished the feat—4ooo huzzahs raised the roof. Karl was far from pleased with the decision, however, claiming that Marshall had thrown him while he i (Marshall) was outside the ring. He argued long and loudly with Referee Heze Clark. Everett interrupted and the fans who had remained to watch the argument were treated to an impromptu boxing match between the rival grapplers. Marvin Is Drubbed Not all the slugging was provided by Marshall and Davis, however. Billy Edwards, the strutting Texan, added another triumph to his local ; string by “knuckling” down Tommy j Marvin,' Indian veteran, with his “chiropractic hold” in 16 minutes. I Marvin absorbed a sound drubbing [ and only twice, when he clampec. on his favorite “chinlock” only to see it broken by big-chested Billy, did he perform up to his usual standard. Otto Kuss. the popular I. U. collegian. added a 30-minute draw with Paul Harper to his pro record. The lanky Hoosier found the going tough with the handsome Texas athlete, and more than once was caught in a "ticklish” situation. Both warriors stuck <o grappling “ala Hoyle” and the result was a fast and clever tussle. ROCKETS IN WORKOUT The Broad Ripple basketeers engaged in a long practice scrimmage i yesterday in preparation for games this week-end with Elwood at the | shortridge gym Friday night and ; Carmel at Carmel Saturday night. ; Eugene Johnson, forward, did not ; take part yesterday due to a cold.

Bambino Sails for Home After Fling at Cricket
By United Press LONDON, Feb. 13.—Babe Ruth, who has been sightseeing here before starting on the homeware lap of his globe-circling tour, r-ould rather play baseball than any other (port, not excepting baseball's first cousin, cricket, w-hich is not even second choice with him.
He said before sailing for New York today that he had watched most of the major sports of the world and has tried several. He took a fling at cricket under the direction of Alan Fairfax, Australian master of the game. “Sure, I could smack that cricket ball all right,” the Babe said. "Who couldn't, swinging a board? But I reckon I like baseball better. And golf is my second favorite sport.” American football, the Babe believes, would become popular in England. “I’ve an idea British sportsmen

In contrast to the dullness of Paris, where the home run hitter complained that he was unnoticed and lonely, he has been rushed about London at such a rapid pace that he couldn’t remember half he had seen and done.

Charles Merz to Supervise Speed Classic Local Engineer and Former Driver Will Be Chief Steward of 500-Mile. A veteran driver of the first race, a quarter of a century ago, will assume charge of the actual running of the annual 500-mile competition at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway here May 30, it was announced today. Charles Merz, former race driver and now one of the foremost automotive engineers of the country, has been selected to succeed the late W. D. Edenburn as steward in charge of the race, and off! n.l representative of the Contest Board of the American Automobile Association. As such he will be in charge of all drivers during both their qualifying runs and their actual competition, and will have a voice in the settlement of all disputes. Early in the morning of Decoration ster, pushed a locally built car, a National, out on the new bricks of the new Indianapolis Motor Speedway to start in a sporting venture which was to endure with increasing popularity over a period of 25 years. Lined up against Merz were stock cars which were the forerunners of the automobile industry, names such as Lozier, Simplex. Knox, Jackson, Pope-Hartford, Cole Apperson and Velie. Merz averaged 70 miles an hour over the two-and-a-half mile brick course to finish in seventh place. In 1912 he drove a Stutz. also built in Indianapolis, into fifth place and drove the same make car into third place the following year. Enlisting in the U. S. Army in 1917 as a captain, Merz was appointed a major while in active service in France in the fall of 1917. After the Armistice he was connected, with the Survey Board of the Air Corps in France.
