By Eddie Ash CUNNINGHAM RULES MILE RUN m m m challengers not in Ills class

CT'XXIXGHAM has the field to himself in the mile run. The Kansas Flier has reached a point where the challengers don’t rate with him. lie is too fast, too strong, too durable and too full of “run” to give the other top flight milers a chance to overtake him when he turns on the power. ’I rack exj>erts are ready to vote Glenn as the greatest runner, indoors or outdoors, who has specialized at the distance. He has posted world records in the cinders and on the boards, which seems to clinch the crown for him in the mile. Cunningham has mastered the distance to the extent that he doesn't have to employ strategy any more. He takes it easy and when it's time to rlirrh thp race the Kansan lets go and does it. Gene Venzke. rival of Cunningham, says. He has too much speed and too much fight." And Bill Eonthron, ano’her keen rival, admits he doesn't belong in Glenns company now. When pre -sed, the blistering pace set by Cunningham simply takes everything out of his opponents. He leaves them gasping and disheartened. 9 a a

Big League Selections Daniel m. daniel of the New York World-Telegram contacted all of the managers in the two big leagues recently and asked them to make confidential predictions on the 1933 races. The consensus matched the trend of the baseball public—St. Louis Cardinals to repeat in the Natirnal League and the Cleveland club to capture the pennant in the Amci can. Only two pilots picked lie Detroit Tigers to rep; at. The balloting by the 16 major managers made the •“winter book" apperr ukt this: NATIONAL AMERICAN St. Louis Cleveland New York Detroit Chicago New York Pittsburgh Boston Brooklyn Philadelphia Boston Washington Philadelphia SL Louis Cincinnati Chicago The major chieftains give the edge to the Cardinals on account of the presence of the Dean brothers. Dizzy and Paul. Dizzy won 30 games last year and Paul 19. The feeling is that Dizzy will be just as good and Paul a wee bit better than m 1934 Cleveland drew the majority of votes in the American on its potential power, pitching, youth, ambition and defensive skill. u a u Law of Averages THE big league pilots are going on a hunch that the law of averages will catch up with Mickey Cochrane this year and throw obstacles in the path of his Bengals. His team went through the entire 1934 season without a single major injury. "And that just doesnt happen twice in baseball,'' the managers chorus. Well. Mickey fooled 'em last year and brought the Tigers up from fifth place, and it took seven games for the powerful Cardinals to beat him in the world senes. The Detroit head man thinks he'll do er again. Cochrane is that way. u n n Butzberger Released. THE release on option of Pitcher A1 Butzberger of the Indianapolis ball club was announced today bv Dale Miller. The young southpaw was turned over to the Williamsport team of the N. Y. P. League. Butzberger was picked up as a free agent two years ago. He was unable to produce Class AA quality pitching here. At times the lefthander looked good, but that was usually for only a few innings. Manager Red Killefer will arrive In Indianapolis Tuesday. Player contracts will be mailed out after the Tribe chieftain gives the word. He will leave California for Indianapolis tomorrow.

Feb 21.—Luke Hamlm. reserve pitcher, may be lost to the Detroit Tigers, at least for the early part of the 1935 season, as result of an arm injury with which: he was confined to a hospital here today. Doctors feared Hamlin's left arm j was fractured. Although Hamlin is a right-hander, such a fracture probably would incapaciate him for some time. Hamlin, his wife Doris and Mrs Dorothy Brown were hurt when Hamlin's car crashed into a tree.

RUTH READY TO TALK TERMS WITH YANKS

Bam Expected i to Be Used in Utility Role Claims He Has Important Proposition to Offer Ruppert. BY LAWTON CARVER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Feb. 21.—Babe Ruch had abandoned all hope today of becoming a mi’.jor league manager this .season and was ready to talk terms 1 for his same old spot in the New York Yankee outfield. Weighing 230 pounds and 40 years old, his regular playing days are over, but he probably will be dropped into a utility role as oLm as possible, there to await the I chance to prove he can manage a I club. Upon his arrival from Europe | yesterday, he v. as evasive in discussing plans. He admitted, however, i that it would be tough to step from the diamond to the solitude outside the parks. Mis. Ruth Makes Revelation He repeated that he did not expect to play again, then added he might change his mind in a statement far less positive than the many which came from him on his 22,000mile tour since last October. “I’ve been a part of baseball so long that I'm wondering just how I might feel out of it,” he said. Mrs. Ruth probably answered it for him. “I realize it would be like cutting off his head to take him out of baseball for a season,” she said. “So I would like to see him play if he can get into condition.” Mrs. Ruth revealed that the Babe has been training in gymnasiums in recent weeks and had dieted to keep his weight down. Says Money Not the Point Ruth will confer with Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yanks, at once. The colonel said before Ruth arrived that he was eager for a talk. Ruth wants to get it over quickly. He has a “very important proposition under consideration” which will be influenced by outcome of negotiations with the Yankees. “Yes. it concerns major league baseball,” he admitted, “but it has nothing to do with my becoming a club manager. I must get the advice of 25 or 30 people about it before I can make an announcement.” The Babe was most emphatic on one point. Money has no bearing on his reluctance to quit baseball. “I’ve enough to live on,” he remarked, referring to an income estimated at $15,000 a year from a trust fund. “And say, what's this I hear about the club mailing a $1 provisional contract to my home? What’s that —a bonus?”

Many, however, were unwilling to hand the C. V. Whitney entry the purse on a silver platter. Among them was Bob Smith, Cavalcade’s trainer, who spoke with the authority of an outside observer, now that his own horse is scratched. “It’ll be a wide open race, - ’ Smith said. Caress Favors High Glee Zeke Caress, who is handling the Agua Caliente future books, frankly shared the opinion that an outsider would beat the great “Ekky.” And Caress doesn’t care much for Twenty Grand, once the arch foe of Equipoise. Their feud was revived a few days ago and Equipoise finished ahead but was disqualified, giving the race to Twenty Grand. Caress looks farther down the list of 24 nominees for the winner. High Glee, the speed horse, is one who strikes his fancy. The exact starting field remained in doubt but several scratches are expected. Riskulus, a California favorite owned by Norman B. Church, for one is a doubtful starter. He suffered a slight hoof injury’ which may not mend in time. Top Row Is Threat No new world record is foreseen for the miie and a quarter sprint but some observers predict a winning time of 2:02 or better. The world record of two minutes flat was set 22 years ago by Whiskbroom at Belmont and equahed ten years later by two English thoroughbreds. Top Gallant and Hark Farrard. Equipoise, while holding the record for the mile, never has been fast enough over two additional furlongs to match the longer record. A. A. Baroni's Top Row may come close to it Saturday. He hung up anew mark at a mile and oneeighth at Bay Meadows several months ago. MEADE GIVEN MOUNT LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21.—Don Meade, one of America’s leading jockeys, will ride Ted Clark in the SIOO,OOO Saqta Anita handicap Saturday, it was announced at the Santa Anita track today.

The Continentals also boast strong reserve strength, -which showed itself to advantage in the city event.

FOOLS step in where smart columnists fear to tread, so Backboard has decided to bear with his trade-mark and make a final bid for the ig-nobel prize, awarded for the first time this year by the “Pick ’Em ’n’ Weep Club to the game-predicter responsible for the worst predicting.

n order to eliminate all setups and pick only games that accord 50-50 chances of success, Backboard plans to select the five most nip-and-tuckly-looking battles on tomorrow night’s finis card for prognostication. That virtually clinches the prize. For the five difficult guesses, the ole boy has chosen: Broad Ripple at Noblesville. Seymour at Columbus. Delphi at Jefferson, Lafayette. Jeffersonville at Bedford. Sharpesville at Tipton. tt a What's that, boss? Not a tough card, you say? Whaddaya mean? How could a guy possibly have any pre-game ideas on the five winners in that bunch? Alright, you name five, and we’ll use them. But you’re ruining my chances at that ig-nobel award. Bloomington at Shelbyville. Richmond at Lebanon. Rushville at Franklin. Frankfort at Logansport. Marion at Muncie. Okay, boss. Hmmm .. . funny, Backboard glanced right over those games when he was searching the list . . . tsc. tsc . . . You want me to get that prize, too, don’t you. boss? Well, lessee, there’s Shelbyville to top Bloomington .. . The Bears have two Pages to turn before they can close the book. And Richmond to be consistent against Lebanon— Franklin to snap out of .that slump now or never to Rushville's discomfort— The Logan Berries to double their 11 points made against the Frankfurters a couple weeks ago, while the Frankfort 23 is cut in half— And Muncie to solve Marion’s double pivot because Pete Jolly says so. n n n And there, folks, if you separate the facts from the chaff, you have 10 games on tomorrow night’s schedule. Other bookings of interest: Connersville at Newcastle. Martinsville at Vincennes. Greensburg at Madison. Danville at Braiil. Peru at Wabash. Jasper at Petersburg. Washington (Indianapolis) at Brownsburg. North Manchester at Warsaw. an tt I am just rolling up my sleeves to do a little ditty on the TechKokomo windup as of next Saturday when in comes a letter that stops me cold. Kokomo will have to wait a few paragraphs while this guy from the East Side speaks his piece. Dear Boxell—Yes sir, Washington has beaten everybody but Tech, and just let ’em try that! “Finessing” or whatever you want to call it, we’ve saved our real strength for the sectional and regional. What’s the matter with Tech and Shortridge in your column? When I see Tech or Shortridge mentioned. I'm really astonished. I'm disgusted with everything in general, but particularly with you. I suppose just as soon as a small-time school like Washington writes in and wants to know why you're mentioning us occasionally, yculi switch your affections! Yours, GREEN a a a Only extreme loyalty or dyspepsia could Irad any one to accuse Backboard of neglecting Tech.. And aince the fellow mention* Shortridge along with Tech in the lame courteeua breath, it couldn't be loyalty.

NOW, on to Kokomo. It is possible. with Kokomo’s support, for the Techmen to avoid winding up in 10th position in the North Central Conference Big Ten! If the Green and White warriors beat the Wildcats Saturday, Tech will have two victories against six defeats in conference circulation. Morton of Richmond also will close with two against six and a Tech triumph would bring about a tie for ninth place. Kokomo’s record for the past several weeks is none too impressive. Tech has a bright chance to stay on the first floor with Morton. Muncie represents the one league victory for the Big Green to date. a a a RUH, dynamic little Anderson guard, finally worked to the top of the heap in the pile-up for North Central scoring honors, totaling 89 markers in 14 games . . . Satterfield of Muncie will have to enmesh a heap of points tomorrow night to overtake little Clemmy. a a a AND it appears the rush is under way for seats on the Newcastle bandwagon for the great March parade. tt tt tt —A colorful event at Shortridge tonight—the Redskins and the Blue Devils — CRAWFORDSVILLE’S victory string came to an end at Lebanon last night. The Crawfords-ville-Lebanon rivalry, which is probably the most iime-nonored in the state, is all in of the Tigers this year. That 49-to-40 verdict last night marks the second time this season Lebanon has thoroughly avenged the state tournament of 1911. Previous to last night’s tussle, the Athenians had rounded up three blue ribbons in a row. ft tt tt Either Connersville is completely down and out, or Anderson’s Indians are getting tougher than Max Baer’s indelicate chin. Bedford was supposed to be strong and the Indians went through ’em on a sled. The Spartans aren’t listed as weaklings, and the score was 36 to 12! weaverTnd woods ON HALL MAT CARD Buck Weaver. Terre Haute, former I. U. athlete and junior light heavyweight wrestling champion, has been signed to meet an unannounced opponent at the Tomlinson Hall mat show next Monday night. Weaver won in the main event match last week. An opponent also is being sought for Joe Woods, Hollywood, who defeated Vern Clark at the last show. The main event Monday night will bring together Billy Thom, I. U. coach and junior middlewight champion. and Scotty Williams, Louisville. It will be their first meeting.

Packers Arc Trounced by Negro ‘Wonder Five’ Renaissance Basketball Team Hangs Up 78th Victory of Season With 33-to-18 Romp Over Locals. The Renaissance Negro basketball team from New York handed the Hilgemeier Packers, local pro quintet, their second defeat of the season. 33 to 18, last nigh at Butler fieldhouse before a crowd estimated at 7000.

An official of the Renaissance team announced it was the 78th victory lor the Negroes this season against eight losses. They were beaten night before last at Frankfort by the Kautskys, Indianapolis’ other pro quintet, 46 to 43 , after humbling the Kautskys in earlier encounters. The Renaissance and Kautsky fives are scheduled to clash at Richmond tonight. Play Straight Basketball The Negro “Wonder Fivers” stuck closer to straight basketball last night than in their appearance here early in the season. They brought applause from the spectators, however, with their dazzling pass attack. Bob Yohler, Muncie, led the Packers’ scoring with five points, while Shipp, Coffin, Evans, Proffitt and Bottema each connected once from the field. Frank Baird, heretofore the main point getter for the locals, was held scoreless. Jenkins, the Renaissance player who guarded him, connected on three field shots. Cooper and Smith made eight points each to lead the visitors. Visitors Start Early Led by “Tarzan” Cooper, the Renaissance got away to an 8-to-0 lead. The Packers played bang-up ball in the second quarter to stem their opponents’ rush, but were trailing 17 to 9 at the half. The Negro five forged steadily ahead the remainder of the game and had little trouble in breaking up the local team's deliberate style of attack.

Trial Giving Max Headache Ring Champion Breaks Strain by Telling Admirers He’ll MaFry.

By United Press SACRAMENTO, Cal., Feb. 21Max Baer switched today from the headache to the heartache side of this business of being heavyweight champion of he world. The headaches come from a trial in which J. Hamilton Lorimer, his first manager, is seeking a share of Baer’s earnings from the Camera bout, motion pictures and public appearances. The heartaches come when Baer sees a pretty girl and realizes that under the terms of his present contract with Ancil Hoffman he can’t marry before 1937. a a tt MAX isn’t certain which is worse —the headache or the heartache. But he knows he will plunge himself into future headaches if he breaks the terms of his contract with Hoffman and marries. To ease the strain of the trial, postponed until Monday, Max announced to court fans that he intends to marry an Eastern society girl, “28, a brunette and a swell looker.” Hoffman said Baer was “talking through his hat.” The headaches will be resumed Monday when Superior Judge Malcolm Glenn resumes hearings in the suit. The suit may cause Baer to establish residence in New York, for he has threatened to leave California should it go against him.
