By Eddie Ash SLEEPY WALKER IS IN DEMAND m m m TWO CLUBS SEEK TIGER REBEL

jpOR a £uy described as dumb, this Outfielder Gerald Walker of the Detroit Tigers is setting a record in the popularity league. Both the New York Yankees and St. Louis Browns have made offers for Mr. Sleepyhead in spite of the fact Walker is notorious as dead weight on the bases. He was fined and suspended by Manager Mickey Cochrane last year for stupid base running, but the punishment failed to supply a cure. Walker was reinstated and promised to “reform,” but in the world series he was caught napping off first base after delivering a timely hit a?' a pinch fitter. It seems that Gerald is all ears ar.d pays so much attention to the remarks of others that he forgets he is on base and falls easy prey to snap throws by the enemy. However. Manager Joe McCarthy of the Yankees and Chief Rogers Hornsby of the browns point out that Waiker DOES get on base. Hence, they are willing to buy him and take a chance on finding a remedy for his weakness. "You can't be crazy on the sacks without getting on,” says McCarthy. ••Waiker at least gets to first base, which is something that can not be said for some of the other flychasers drawing pay in the American League.”

Big League Basketball THE New York Renaissance basketeers, woi.d Negro champions, have found Indiana to be a state that appreciates big league basketball. This feeling has led the Negro sharpshooters to show at their best when playing within the boundaries of Hoosierdom. The Renaissance quintet scheduled four games in Indiana this week. They met the Indianapolis Kautskys at Brazil last night, and the teams will meet again in Frankfort tonight and at Richmond Thursday. On Wednesday the Negro champs will appear in Indianapolis, meeting the fast Hilgemeier Packers at Butler fieldhouse.. Clever doesn't begin to describe the skill of the Renaissance with a basketball. And they seldom miss a shot. Their floor work is marvelous and their general play borders on perfection. The game tomorrow night will mark the last appearance of the Renaissance team in Indianapolis this season. 000 Up and Up and l 'p CORNELIUS JOHNSON, West Coast Negro high jump sensation. co-holder with Walter Marty of the official record of 6 feet 8 : \ inches, believes that the leapers will reach seven feet before long. "Do not be surprised at this calculation." he savs. "Marty, George Spitz, and myself all have done 6 feet 10 inches in practice. Competition yet will bring out a Jump of more than seven feet. “Marty already has jumped more than 6 feet 9 inches in competition, and the ceiling is bound to Yise.” man Strikeout Artist THE king of the strikeout artists of 1934 will join the Brooklyn Dodgers at Orlando, Fla.. Feb. 25 for spring training. He is Frank J. Lamanske. a southpaw. Pitching for Davenport of the Western League last summr, the youngster whiffed 216 batters, winning 24 games and losng onlv 7 Night ball was a regular thing in the Western loop last year and the Dodgers won’t know Lamanske’s true worth until they test him under fire in daylight games.

HFFTHOWArKanAHD by Paul BDXELisassmmmmß>mmm COMES another contribution discussing at length the stiff regional battle that will be fought here between an Indianapolis team— Washington, says this contributor —Pittsboro and Anderson. Few are the fans, it seems, who will take Greenfield seriously. Greenfield probably will be the representative from its own sectional.

Coach Bratton's Black and Gold warriors overhauled the Manual Redskins in the final quarter of the skirmish there Saturday night and took the game, 23 to 19. It’s no cinch to topple Oral Bridgeford’s Redskins. They’ve lost some heart-breakers by mighty ejese scores this season—Pittsboro, Tech, Washington. Cohn, holding dewn the pivot post, turned in a good game for the South Siders, 'tis reported. a tt a THE victory over Manual gave the Greenfielders a little better than .500 per cent for the season. Shortridge and Rushville are among the Rileytown victims. The team is small. According to the Greenfield Daily Reporter, presumably Dale Spencer, the boys average 5 feet BJ48 J 4 inches in height and 139 pounds in scaletipping. Small, yes. But don’t forget folks, it takes four teams to make a regional, and Greenfield is a good fourth. tt tt tt FOR fear of being misinterpreted, Backboard hastens to explain thqt his statement yesterday that the Shortridge Blue Devils were not playing their best brand of ball against Alexandria was not meant to indicate that tne Blue Devils played slouchy ball. They played winning ball, which usually is enough. Probably they could have turned on the steam nad it been necessary. Bill Pack is an admirable worker, don't you think? He stands barely above 6 feet skyward, yet he gave a valiant performance at the pivot post that would put to shame several eentermen of more advantageous stature. tt tt These brother acts sometimes get in my hair. Actually two (2) people have congratulated my brother, Vern, for picking Jeff of Lafayette to win the 6tate. tt tt u BLASTINGS Dear Backboard—You should come down to see St, Paul tangle with Manual the 23rd. In a game with Batesville the Blasters were handling the ball so fast the referee was seasick. If you come down to see this game you will see onp of the best teams in the state, and it' won't be Manual. STUDE 35. P. S—Our record now is—won, 19; lost, 3, a a a Dear Backboard—ls you hare been following St. Paul's Blasters you will notice that thev have added two county champs to their victim list—Waldron In Shelby County (26-18) and Edinburg in Johnson County (30-14). Watch ’em tackle Manual. Still lookinr for a pair to top Grant and Taylor's 254 points. SLUG. tt tt tt Giddap. buggy!—we're heading for Marion tonight The folks will want to know what happens when a maestro and a second fiddler moved up to first fiddler *et together. Mr. Orville Hooker, former maestro at Newcastle now mae-stro-ing at Marion, will meet the invading onslaught of Mr. Wilbur (Strings) Allen, who moved up when Hooker moved out. Marion vs. .Newcastle—giddap. buggy—the folks want to hear about this! OVERTIME POINTS Messrs, lloyd mccorMACK and Ken E. Rush, Magic Netteis at CrawfoxdsviHe,

put out the advance report that Backboard was going to “poohpooh” C'vi.le's three straight victories. . . “Foiled again,” the Giddappers. no doubt, will mutter if they nonce that Backboard has reeled off come sweet sentiment on the Athenians. . . . “That Valentine may not be so funny after all!” Chic Yarbrough, still with the Frankfort Times, was heard to. mutter following the report that the Jeffmen had en-crow-ched on Greencastle by 10 points. , . Yarbrough also announces that Delphi connected on only three of 14 gratis attempts in the Frankfort fray . . . why do you suppose the Frankfurters committed that many fouls in a walkaway game? . . . Jim Comstock, Noblesville’s appendicitis victim, is in top physical condition again and rarin’ to go . . , which means he’ll be back in fine trim for the sectional ... for some unknown reason they’re calling Comstock “Rubinoff” up in Noblesville . . mebbe it’s because he fiddles around so successfully under the basket. .., The Logansport Berries showed no exceptional marksmanship in whipping Kokomo, 23 to 16 . . . the Berries connected on 15 of 52 attempts from the floor and three of 10 from the charity line. . . . Bob Stranahan at Newcastle is calling Harold Shaner, Muncie's expert goal-sniper “Hot-Shot Harold” ... it’s a result of Harold’s goaling against the Trojans. ... A Ben Davis Booster wants Coach Gerichs to give his “Tarzan” sub a chance in the sectionals . . . probably meaning Frieje. ... “I wonder what’s the matter with Plainfield. They show plenty of fight until the last five minutes or so,” wonders The Dreamer. . . . H. H. vigorously applies the lash to the middlemen of the Tech-Shelbyville tussle and urges Backboard begin a drive for better officiating. . . . Backboard, -to the contrary, has seen very little arbiting to narp about this season . . . two games bf the city tourney excepted . and Backboard spoke his piece on them. tt a tt HUTT MEIER MOCAS CHILDERS BLAND FISCHER Me CLEARY WEAVER HANLEY The thingamabob above is an invention of the effervescent Bottsey of Tech. Bottsey also bubbles over with the announcement—“l am going to sign off for the rest of the season because I hate to run things into the ground.” You can t kid Backboard, Bottsey. When the heat of the sectional is turned on and your boys go to battle and everybody gets to accusing this and challenging that —you'll be back. STENGEL HEADS SOUTH By United Press BROOKLYN, N.

Gehrig Signs Contract for 1935 Season Famous Yankee Comes to Terms: Believed Paid $30,000 Salary. By United Tress NEW YORK. Feb. 19.—Lou Gehrig, New York Yankees’ first baseman and outstanding player in the American League, today agreed to terms for his 1935 salary and signed his contract. Col. Jacob Ruppert, Yankee owner, made no mention of the salary, but baseball men generally believe that Gehrig received a substantial increase over last year’s $23,000. Lou Asked for $35,000 It was understood that the club offered $27,000, that Gehrig asked for $35,000, and probably compromised on $30,000. Baseball writers were surprised at the speed with which Ruppert and Gehrig adjusted their salary differences. When Lou returned from a trip around the world, he indicated he was prepared for a strenuous holdout battle unless the Yankees paid “what I think I am worth.” King of American League He said it was time that he cashed in on his ability after having such a good reason in 1934 when he led the American League in batting, home runs, runs batted in and stretched his all-time record for consecutive games played to 1504. Today’s signing left the Yankee management free to concentrate on Babe Ruth, who returns tomorrow from a world tour. The Yanks mailed Ruth a dollar-a-year “provisional contract,” but it is not certain the Babe wishes to remain with the club another year.
