By Eddie Ash INDIANS BEGIN WORK IN MONTH m m m BATTERY OF DOUBTFUL STRENGTH

QNE week from tomorrow, on St. Patrick’s day to he exact, the Indianapolis pitchers and catchers will unpack their baffs in Mayfield, Ky„ and begin spring training under Chief Red Killefer. The Tribe pilot is due in the city at any time now from California, and it won’t be long. He will have a stack of this and a stack of that to look over at Perry stadium preparatory to completing all derails for the Indians’ visit to the South (south of the Ohio River). On week after March 17 the mflelders and outfielders will pull into Mayfield to join the battery men and the Hoosier forces will go to it day after day until the official A. A. bell rings at Columbus on April 16 and starts them ofT on another American Association championship dash. The Hoosiers are set on the infield and perhaps in the outfield, but the mound staff is an uncertain collection of hurlers and there is a weakness back of the plate. Johnny Riddle is okav. but on the record of Joe Spnnz last year it is evident the veteran has seen his best days. Spnnz is especially weak in the important business of batting in runs, or least that was his outstanding fault in 1934. Moreover, it is Delieved the popular Joe's underpinning has give.*

Four Games One Day JOHNNY BECKMAN, the eastern, veteran, once played four basketball games on the same day and turned in a 12-hour record of 39 points. In the afternoon the New Yorker performed at Asiorio and Union City in the afternoon and at Prospect Hall, Brooklyn, and the Harlem Casino, New York, at night. Johnny battled against the ProImps, Union City Reds, Brooklyn Visitations and the Negro Renaissance five. Beckman was one of the greatest cage players ever developed in this country. Part of his artistry was knowing how to conserve his energy even during a game without straying from position. He learned to reach his assignments on plays without runaing his tongue out.

Basketball Braul GAMES in the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League sometimes resemble battle royals. Columbia beat Pennsylvania the other night. 30 to 23. in a game which produced fist fights, kicking, bumping and other warfare of the violent football type. Fifteen seconds before the end of the tussle a free-for-all barely fell short of a general riot. Players, substitutes, student ushers and spectators were giving and taking blows when a police detail arrived in time to avert the destruction of the Columbia gym. The rough stuff started at the outset of the action and the game soon got beyond the control of the officials. At one time one of the officials was knocked down and rare were the moments when ten players were on their feet. The New York district is just beginning to get frenzied over college basketball and if the game officials are wise they will curb the antics at once. Otherwise, there is s ir* to be a crowd panic some night that will give the sport a setback.

De Pauw's crack shuttle-relay team is intact from last year with Lee. Buch. Highbanks and Kay in uniform. Lee is close to being number one man in both the high and low hurdles. Fribley, star quarter miler. is back, as is Tayler, crack distance runner. With the addition of some strong sophomores, the Tigers should have a strong team again.

Harrison middleweight, who represented Indianapolis at the Chicago Golden Gloves tourney last year, and Charles Wildß, light heavyweight, South Side Turners. Carl Maxwell, Ft. Harrison, the only other contender who held a Golden Gloves title, also was defeated. He lost to Siegfried (Squeak) Bruggeman, city lightweight champion, who later decisioned Rudolph Smith of the Colored Y. M. C. A. for tfie crown.

Local Clubs Well Represented The eight Open class champions, who will represent Indianapolis at Chicago, are Ray (Shorty) Waggoner, flyweight, Washington A. C.; Bud Cottey, bantamweight, F. & K. Health Club; Wilmer Hardesty, featherweight, F. & K. Health Club; Siegfried (Squeak) Bruggeman, lightweight, South Side Turners; John Denson, welterweight, F. & K. Health Club; Delbert Hutton, middleweight, Miller A. C„ Cambridge City, Ind.; Larry Kirk, light heavyweight, South Side Turners, and Jack Coffelt, heavyweight, Ft.

Health Club, who transferred to the Open finals and won a title there; Arthur McTerry, Negro, middleweight, FERA, and Larry Kirk, light heavyweight, who also became an Open champ.

Last night’s third and concluding session of the local Golden Gloves boxing sponsored annually by The Times and Bruce Robison Post of the American Legion, got under way promptly at 8 o’clock with an introduction of officials by Harry Geisel of the American League baseball umpiring staff and lasted until approximately 1 p. m. Twenty-six bouts were presented. Each was for three twominute rounds to a decision. Denson Comes Through Open class dark horses who came through were Johnny Denson, welterweight; Delbert Hutton, middleweight, and Larry Kirk, light heavy. Denson defeated Howard E. Bowles, Ft. Harrison, in the Novice finals and then challenged Bob Bell in the Open finals after Bell had decisioned Joe Busch of the Indianapolis “Y.” Bell went down in the second round and failed to rise in time at the count of nine, giving Denson a knockout victory. Delbert Hutton turned in the most rugged performance of the evening in winning the middleweight Open title. He started out with a decision over Michael Kmet of Ft. Harrison. Then, despite a severe cut over his left eye, Hutton met and conquered ’John Chesanus of Ft. Harrison in a bout which saw the last year’s champion hit the canvas twice. When Arthur McTerry, Novice winner, challenged him, Hutton still was game and managed to eke out a decision by flooring the lanky Negro in the second frame. Bruggeman Drops Two Foes Hutton’s performance was closely followed by that of Squeak Bruggeman, who decisioned one of last year’s runners-up, Rudolph Smith, Negro in a semi-final bout and then continued to be the aggressor to win over last year’s champion, Carl Maxwell of Ft. Harrison. Charles Wilds, city light heavyweight titleholder, decisioned Eugene Crank of Cambridge City in his opening bout, but suffered a severe cut over his left eye. Wilds was challenged by a teammate, Larry Kirk, winner of the novice light heavyweight final, and went down fighting. One of the most promising dark horses of the tourney was eliminated when Johnny Grable decisioned Marshall Allison. Waldron (Ind.) product, in the lightweight novice action. Allison landed jarring blows in the first round and sent his opponent to his knees in the second. Grable retaliated with some telling clouts to the head and blocked off all of Allison’s blows in the third to gain the officials’ verdict. Referees for the bouts were Happy Atherton, Merle Alte and Heze Clark. Judges were A1 Feeney, Ted Sullivan. Jimmy Cooley, Eddie Zimmer. Ed Clemmens and Walter Williams. Open class winners and runnersup were presented with expensive jackets and the Novice winners and runners-up with leather belts and silver or gold buckles immediately after the show. The individuals who will represent Indianapolis at Chicago also received silk boxing trunks.

Master Milers to Clash Again in N. Y.A. C. Meet Cunningham, Bonthron and Venzke to Be Rivals in Baxter Mile; Torrance After Mark. BY LAWTON CARVER United Press Staff Correspondent NEVv YORK. Feb. 16.—The second capacity crowd of the indoor track season will jam Madison Square Garden tonight to see the master milers in action.

The New York A. C. games were expected to attract 16,000 with a program of 19 track and field events. Record-breakers from a dozen states will compete, but the oatstanding event will be the first anniversary of the Gene Venzke-Bill BonthronGlenn Cunningham meeting in the Baxter mile. Cunningham, holder of the mile records indoors and out; Bonthron, 1500-meter champion, and Venzke, credited with the best time ever made in the Baxter mile, come together for the second time in a fortnight. In the Millrose games, Cunningham evened the count with Bonthron by making it three victories each, when Venzke finished a close enough second to re-establish himself as a capable opponent for the other two milers.

HFF THT> BACK BOAR] by paul BOXZLLammmmmmm—m

WHAT a night! What a night! What a swell day! Everything looks fresh and anew, and life is worth stringing along with again. I tell you these Indianapolis teams are okay. For the first time this season, and undoubtedly the last, every blooming one of ’em came right through and bore out Backboard’s predictions. 100 per cent! Washington, Shortridge and Manual kept things straight with victories, while Tech, though it’s regrettable, martryed itself to the defeat phophecy. And Broad Ripple obliged, too.

Washington’s Continentals added Cathedral to their city victim list in a hotter than heat altercation at the fieldhouse. The Irish were shaded just a little throughout the contest, but held on with a tenacity that kept the battle in. doubt until the timekeeper said nevermore. The city champions, if Backboard has his wits about him, have now conquered every team in the city except Tech. Right? The score last night was 21 to 20, and the Washington cheering section was at its top volume. n st a Over at Greencastle, the Jeff of Lafayette Bronchos (you know) cruised through the Tiger Cubs, 44 to 34. A 10-point vanguard seemed to satisfy the Bronchos throughout the tilt. The score at the half was 26 to 16. Coach Marion Crawleys Tiger Cubs, a no-mean ball club, narrowed the distance to four markers, 22-26, at the beginning of the third frame. Cartwright, Bee and Garl, playing hangup games for Greencastle, slipped under on numerous occasions for “sneaker” shots. , Young, Jeff forward, guard, or center—wherever he is needed, sank five baskets in six attempts in the first half. Bear in mind that it is this year (1935) Backboard is riding the Bronchos. The Jeff seconds were beaten, 33 to 8. a tt a Guilford Howe, who has kept a complete record of all sectional, regional and state finals results for the last three years, fixes up his records a little in advance this year and says the following 16 will hold forth at the fieldhouse: Greencastle, Beaver Dam, Brazil, Columbus, Princeton, Frankfort, Bluffton, Anderson, Wabash, Michigan City, Logan sport, New Albany, Newcastle, Bochester, Connersville, Jasper. He’s picking Longansport to repeat. a a I got my saddle on the Bronchos, and I’ll ride ’em, by golly, or bust! My idea of poor sport—Broncho busting. a a a THE Alumnus ’34 breaks out again with the announcement that the Green Goalers do not shoot at the bucket often enough . . . the first letter to reach this comer relative to Backboard’s state title illusion came from Bottsey of Tech .. . who, of course, hinted strongly that a “dark horse” should have been named ~, Tech isn’t a dark horse,

the distance once in 4:10. Cunnigham’s indoor record is 4:08.4, Two others will start in the race, but they, Eric Ny and Harry Williamson, are given scant chance of winning. A record virtually is certain in one event at least. When Jack Torrance, 300-pound Louisianian, begins chucking the 16-pound weight, the indoor mark of 52 feet inches is expected to be moved up. He already has hurled the ball better than 57 feet for an outdoor record. Keith Brown will attack his own pole-vault record of 14 feet 4 inches. George Spitz of the New York A.

Baer and Poreda Irk Fans in Bout By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.—Mrs. Frankie Campbell, whose husband died in 1930 after a fight with Max Baer, will receive several thousand dollars from a benefit held last night to which Baer, now the heavyweight champion, donated his services. About 10,000 attended. Baer and Stanley Poreda of Jersey City gave a four-round exhibition that had the galleries calling for the referee to throw them both from the ring. In the 10-round main event, Andy Callahan of Boston lost the decision to Babe Marino, a local 152 pounder. Callahan weighed 145. Marino started fast and biult up a lead in points that Callahan, who had the better of the going in the late rounds, could not overcome. Butler Has Chance to Clinch Net Title The But'er basketball team can clinch the Indiana Intercollegiate Conference basketball race by defeating Wabash in an encounter at the fieldhouse here tonight. The Bulldogs have not been defeated in the eight league games they have played. Wabash, with four conference encounters remaining to be played, has won sis: and Jost two. Butler was the victor over its Crawfordsville rivals in a hardfought encounter on the Wabash floor earlier in the season.

The Pole Vault Limit Keith Brown, famous Yale athlete, who pole vaulted 24 feet 4 inches for anew indoor record a year ago, sets 24 feet 8 inches as the theoretical limit. Bill Grabcr of Southern California climbed 24 feet 13-8 inches last summer, outdoors.

Lee Is Defeated in Feature Bout Belloise May Get Chance at Leo Rodak. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—Boxing Promoters Nate Lewis and Jim Mullen had their first financial setback registered against them today after 58 rounds of boxing which lasted more than four hours last night in the Chicago Stadium. The carnival attracted only 3669 paid admissions and gross receipts of $6386.40. The estimated loss was more than SIOOO. Previously Lewis and Mullen, who began promoting in November, had put on four big successes in the Chicago Stadium and one in the Detroit Olympia.

Belloise dropped Lee for a count of eight w r ith a left hook to the head in the first round, and won every round by a wide margin. He had Lee cut and bleeding in the latter rounds, and obviously spared in the final round. Lewis and Mullen today were considering matching Belloise with Leo Rodak, Chicago youngster who won 22 straight bouts before he lost recently to Tony Canzoneri at 130 pounds.
