By Eddie Ash NEW YORK FANS SUPPORT RUTH man YANKEE OWNER FACES PROBLEM

TVTKW YORK baseball fans are l>ehind Babe Ruth. Joe McCarthy is on the spot. It's simply a case of Baix? Ruth love up throusrh the years and is not a display of antagonism toward Manager McCarthy and his methods of handling the Yankee team. The customers believe that the Bal>e belongs in New York, they want him to stay there and they want him to manage the Yankees. This situation was revealed by a poll taken by the New York World-Telegram. A survey was taken through the five New York Iwroughs and the consensus was overwhelmingly in favor of Ruth continuing w ith the Yankees, but in the role of pilot. Th* problem is Owner Jake Rupoert s Joe McCarthy s contract has another year to bo and Jake is well pleased with Joe s managerial service. If dismissed. McCarthy would have to be paid off full and naturally Ruth would ask for a salary in high figures. Maybe Ruppert will find a way to avoid arousing the ill will of Yankee followers. Jake may get a break at that. A fast start in the 1935 race bt McCarthy s club would do a whole lot toward relieving the Ruth pressure. And again Old Babe himself might work out a scheme that would please everybody and still leave him m baseball and the American League

ana Trainer of Blackburn INDIANAPOLIS interest m Joe Louis, sensational Negro heavyweight boxer and a graduate of Golden Gloves tournaments, involves Jack Blackburn, trainer of Joe Blackburn was a ligh’weight In his day and picked up the art of fisticuffing in this city. Jacks brother was a heavyweight and the two worked out and developed under the wing of Hatred Broyles, who still resides in Indianapolis at 632 N. West-st. The local Negro training quarters in the early 1900 s were located in the 500 block in Indiana-av. Broyles was the trainer there. Broyles says Jack was best as a light weight. After leaving the ring Blackburn branched out as a trainer of pugilists, including Bud Tavlor of Terrer Haute, once the claimant for the world bantamweight crown. From all indications. Blackburn is behind a winner again and it will not surprise close fistic followers to see Joe Louis challenging for the heavyweight championship within another year One year ago Joe was an amateur fighting for the Detroit Golden Gloves team. Now he is in the "big money” and is in demand by promoters all over the country. * m a Big Xighl* in Sports IT'S gom to be an ideal night for the sports follower tonight Catch that SIOO 000 horse race in California on the air along about 6 o'clock itune in earlier to be safe) and then hustle out to the fieldhouse to see the Notre Dame and Butler basketball teams in their annual classic.

Nation's Best Trackmen Clash in A. A. U. Meet Crowd of 16,000 to Watch Assault on Records in National Event at Madison Square Garden. z RV LAWTON CARVER 1 .■'ited Prevs Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Fpo. 23. —Glenn Cunningham and 10 other recordholders will head a t “Id of more than 300 of the nation's best in the A. A U. natioiul championships at Madison Square Garden tonight. Before a capacity crowd of 16.000. performers from 20 states and 28 colleges will battle it out. Only one outstanding record-holder will

be absent—Keith Brown. Yale pole vaulter. Wholesale record smasl mg is anticipated. Dan Ferris. A. A. U. executive. is among those predicting at least a half-dozen new marks. The optimism is inspired by the class of competition down for every event, added to the fact that indoor records at metric distances are comparatively new. The one outstanding feature again will be the Cunningham-Bonthron-Venzke race, this time at 1500 meters. ‘the metric mile." instead of the regulation mile over which Cunningham has won twice in recent meets. Interest, however, is in Cunningham aione and not in the race. He holds the indoor record for the distance. a fine 3:52.2. and predicted todav he would cut it to 3:51. Three other outstanding possibilities for new records include the shot put, in which Jack Torrance, who has bettered 57 feet, will try to raise the indoor mark of 52 feet inches: the broad jump of 25 feet 3'. inches, which Jesse Owens of Ohio S‘ate. Eulaee Peacock of Temple and Eddie Gordon of lowa will tackle, and the high jump of 6 feet B', inches with Cornelius Johnson of California the chief contender.

Attendance le expected to exceed Kentucky Derby figures. It will be the sixth race on the afternoon program. The difference in time between California and Indiana is two hours. bob Caught on the Bounce JACK TORRANCE'S failure to set anew world indoor shot-put mark probably is due to the fact that the Louisiana giant is accustomed to the brass-bound outdoor weight. . . The slippery leathercovered indoor shot is a treacherous missile to handle with sweaty hands. . . . The Olympic Games evidently no lure for Keith Brown. . . . The Yale luminary announces that he will retire as a pole vaulter upon graduation this spring. . . .

Riggs Stephenson of the Indianapolis Baseball Club and Roger Peckinpaugh have been offered the position of baseball coach at Wisconsin. . . .

MONEY MARK MAY FALL AT SANTA ANITA

Equipoise and 2 Others Are After Record Rich Event Draws One of Largest Turf Crowds in American History. BY GEORGE H. BEALE I mtfd Pre&s Staff Correspondent ARCADIA, Cal., Feb. 23.—The Santa Anita Handicap, offered with a background that only Hollywood superlatives could describe, will be run here today. The greatest fie'.d of horses ever assembled will compete at a mile and a quarter for the world's richest racing purse. They will be ridden by the best jockeys in the land, cheered by possibly the largest crowd ever to see an American race and backed by the biggest pari-mutuel total the Pacific Coast has known. Twenty-one horses were named in the overnight entries and it seemed likely that at least 18 would go to the post for the SIOO,OOO added purse. Sonny Workman on Favorite Among them was Equipoise, the favorite, who had before him a chance to become the greatest money winner of all time. Also there were Twenty Gr- x, 1931 Kentucky Derby victor, .id Mate, who, like Equipoise, j the opportunity to overtake jn Beau in the total earnin'- column. C.ner favorites were Ladysman Azucar. Head Play, Time Supply, Gusto and Riskulus. Experts granted, too, that other entries had the stuff to come through, especially in the large starting field that was certain. Up on Equipoise will be Sonny Workman, generally conceded the nation's finest jockey. Silvio Coucci will be on Twenty Grand. Maurice Peters, the 1934 champion. Jack Westrope. Bobby Jones and all the other well-knowns had a leg up in the race. Purse Exceeds SIOO.OOO With perfect weather promised, track officials predicted 75.000 fans would turn out. They estimated that more than a million dollars would pass through the betting windows. It was all “colossal” and “stupendous,” as the motion picture colony put it. Equipoise was a high favorite due to his brilliant record and his fine showing here last Monday when he easily outran Twenty Grand but lost through disqualification. Should Equipoise come home in front it will put his earnings well above the $376,744 that Sun Beau gathered in his brilliant career. Equipjoise already has claimed $338,660 Mate, not heavily backed in the handicap, has won $301,610. Favored next to Equipoise were Ladysman and Twenty Grand. The exact amount of first money will not be known until it is certain what horses, if any, will be scratched. It was certain. how r ever, to exceed SIOO,OOO. The place horse will draw 7 SIO,OOO, show 7 will bring SSOOO and fourth gets $2500. The track was fast, beaten by a warm sun all week. Post time for the handicap w r as approximately 6:30 p. m. <C.

GREAT guns, Giusseppi! . . . what do you think happened? . . . Delphi, whose record closely resembles that of Knox College, all but beat my Jeffians on their own Lafayette rink last night! ... the Bronchos finally slaved through, 26 to 22, in an overtime, but what a time they must have had . . . Delphi was ahead by five points at the half! . . .

more details quick, Watson . . . say you were only kidding. Abie . . . just a little joke on the home folks, eh! . . . say you were using your thirdstringers. . . . Backboard closed his picking season in a fair haze of glory . . . remember those five tough games the boss selected Thursday? . . . O. T. B. figured ’em all right! . . . some stun, eh lin came back against Fushville, 28-18, Logansport nearly doubled its previous scores against Frankfort, 23-16, Muncie solved Marion's pivot, 25-23, the Pages of Shelbyville clot-cl on Bloomington, 23-12, and Richmond barely preserved Backboard’s percentage at Lebanon, 31-30 . . . hmm-hmm, I can't get over it. a tt tt Oh fiddle-Styx! This Red and Right guy must have cancelled his reservation with Charon, for here he is back again, and this time he's picking his state winner. You’d never guess who. a u n Dear Backboard—Being in a basketball coma, and in consideration that there are son*- 750 teams in the race, and not disrjuraged by previous sigrs and manifestations. I’m picking ’em—the state champions of 1955. I'M PICKING ’EM, not because they’ve compiled a tmrvelous rectrd, not because they have ?. host of giant s’x-footers, not i because 'A a great reputation, not be- j cause somebody else is picking 'em, and not b cause of prejudice. I’M PICKING ’EM because they’ve got a fighting heart, because t’ae coach has nothing to choose from in his first eight ir.en, because when they’re clicking, they’re the fastest, most versatile, clever and tightest defensive team In Hoosierland. ARE YOU LISTENING? CHAMPIONS OF THE HARDIVOOO—IF YOU WILL, Brandon. Nahmias and Hunt, three of the most accurate forwards in the state; Cohn and Briggs, two of the state's best centers not relying on height; Schwomeyer, Gallamore anc’ Hiatt, three guards who get around.

But you might flip a coin—it’s being: done nun C’VILLE CLOSE-UP Dear Backboard—Some time ago H. T. McCullough said he expected to have a real team when tourney time came. Recently his crew turned back Greencastle and Franklin, and they now look impressive in comparison to their early showing. Everything points to Crawfordsville at the Butler fieldhouse now. There is only one senior on the squad, so look out for Mack and his boys next year. Yours, W. V. SHOEMAKER a tt tt Goal Decision Notes . It is reported that Ross Dean, West Side of Lafayette mainstay, probably will be lost to the West Siders for the rest of the season ~. it’s a tough break for Coach Doxie Moore and a blow to his sectional aspirations ... for some reason, dark and mysterious. the Frankfort Morning Times has failed to arrive at this desk for the past three or four days . . . mebbe our hunting editor wants j all talk of crows reserved for his column ... or some humanitarian in the office has taken it on himself to take the heat off Chic Yarbrough . . . the Danville Gazette explains that Babb, star Plainfield guard, has j been lost to his team “through an i unfortunate choice of birthdays”... Babb recently rounded 20 . . . and couldn’t do a thing about it . . . they couldn't miss in that 49-40 affair Lebanon took over Crawfordsville . . . Lebanon caged 17 of 46 tries and the Athenians made good on 22 of 48 hoop heaves . . , one Lebanon player scored a goal while prone on his back, say the Magicians . . . McCormick is the Magicician—McCormack is the tenor . . . Coach Voss Hiatt’s Atlanta quintet clinched the Hamilton County Conference title with that victory over Sheridian . . . and Atlanta is the smallest school in the county . . . which proves again that the size of the school isn't half so important as the size of the center.

Frisch Heads for Cardinals’ Home Says Medwick Will Come to Terms. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—Manager Frankie Frisch of the world champion Cardinals left here today for St. Louis to complete preparations for the annual big push to the Bradenton iFla.) spring training camp. After conferring with club officials he will leave for Bradenton in time to arrive there with the first group of players, the batterymen, March 2. The rest of the squad will report March 7. The Cardinal manager was glad to get away from New York and head in the general direction of baseball and sunshine, far away from the round of banquets which has fattened him into a 183-pounder. “I've spent practically the whole winter in a dinner jacket,” he said, “and if I never see another one, it will be too soon.” He would not predict another pennant for the Cardinals, but he said their chances were good, if the players hustled and did not become overconfident. The few remaining holdouts are not worrying him. “Joe Medwick and the rest will come to terms,” he said.

Complete Roster of Cubs in Fold Frank Demaree Is Last to Accept Terms. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 23.—The Chicago Cubs announced yesterday that Frank Demaree, young outfielder of the Los Angeles club in the Pacific Coast League, had accepted terms for the 1935 season. Cubs officials said the playing roster was 100 per cent completed w r ith signing of the hard hitting youngster. Demaree, brought back from Los Angeles after he hit .385 in the coast league last year, mailed his contract from his home in Winters, Cal. Boxing With four decisions and a draw in seven bouts, Cincinnati boxers again outdistance Hoosier fisticuffers in the “California style” boxing programs staged at the Armory last night by the Hercules A. C. The only red marks against the Queen City punchers were two knockouts, scored by Jimmy Wilson, the socking soldier, and Lou The mas, the dandy lightheavyweight. It was Larrupin’ Lou’s ninth knockout in sixteen battles, and he looks better with each appearance here. Art Sills, Cincinnati 176-pounder, w 7 as Thomas’ victim last night. He lasted just one minute and 10 seconds. A smashing right to the solar plexus did the dirty work. Lou tossed in a looping left to the chin for good measure and it w r as all over. Wilson, the Ft. Harrison lightheavy. stopped Eddie Flynn of Cincinnati in the second stanza. A right from way back put Flynn away. The third knockout of the evening was turned in by Bob Kahn, stocky local middleweight, who flattened a home-town rival, Slavko Radisch, in the second sttanza. Kahn, a hard puncher with both fists, chilled Radisch with a jolting left in the first round and knocked him dow 7 n twice in the second before producing the sleeper. Another speedy tussle was waged by Pete Leno, Cincy lightweight veteran, and Billy Breedlove of Greenwood. Pete got the official nod, but the action was fast and close all the way. Billy Bush, Cincinnati middleweight, and Nick Nicholson, Shelbyville. went four heats to a tie, with the Hoosier lefty doing the leading and Bush some heavy clouting. Cowboy Gueary, Cincinnati welter, peppered Tillman Garrett, Ft. Harrison, with lefts and rights. Tillie, his face well-punched, was the short ender. Mickey Brown, Cincinnati, rallied after going down in the first round and nosed out Eerril Rettinger, local featherweight. Rettinger was on the canvas in the second stanza. Dick Porter, Anderson junior welter veteran, was the victim of Curly .Denton, Cincinnati, on points.

Lou Plummer

\ RMORY wrestling fans are -T*- working up a "hate" as next Tuesday’s show approaches. The “meanie” Lou Plummer, is on the card and he will tug with Karl (Doc) Sarpolis in the semi-windup. The Doc is a top flight grappier, and rough at times, which means that Plummer may be knocked off by tactics similar to his own. Sarpolis has a reputation of trading punch for punch and push for push. The main attraction will bring together a couple of wild and aggressive matmen. Big Boy Davis and Ray Steele. In the event these heavyweights follow their usual tactics the ring may be crushed and flattened. They believe in the slam bang style. It will be for two falls out of three.

Drive in for gas, oil, lubrication, tire and battery service, accessories, etc. o a u The reason each bill receives three readings is to give members a chance to wake up at least once during its passage. tt tt Try dancing to this: “Every little bill has a lobby all its own.” a a a It’s a proud legislator who can recognize his brain child by the time it grows into a law. tt it tt The next step after a law is passed is to find someone to interpret it and then find someone to interpret the interpreter. a o a It's getting so a fellow can’t get anywhere without a law book in one hand and a Supreme Court decision in the other. a , a And speaking of decisions, why not decide to install those Miller DeLuxe Geared-to-the-Riad Tires now so you can get a complete season of wear out of them. Stop in today or Sunday and we’ll gladly arrange terms to fit your purse, tt tt tt CHIEF TIRE CHANGER
