'T'ARPON SPRINGS, Fla., April 3. —When a Greek meets a Greek down here they don’t open a restaurant; they get all dressed up in diving suits and go for a stroll on the bottom of the Gulf. It’s an old Grecian custom. As you may or may not know, this is where practically all the sponges used in America come from; they are wrested from the salty depths by Greek divers who go down from 100 to 150 feet for the harvest. It’s an industry that yields close to $1,000,000 a year. When it comes to diving. to facing at home under the water, these Greeks are the greatest aquatic athletes in the world. They'd take your Arne Borgs and T. Yokoyamas and lose ’em in a goldfish bowl. The complete and ultimate tip-off is that all sponge divers are Greeks. a a a a a a APPARENTLY the business is too testing and tough for ordinary men. In the local colony, which numbers about 1.500, there is not one American. From time to time Americans have tried diving for sponges, but few managed to survive more than one trip off shore. Even the American-bcm Greeks make little progress. Asa result the Navy is made up almost entirely of immigrants. The secret seems to be in knowing precisely how to go down and come up, though offhand I should say if a diver knows how to come up he knows about all that is necessary. If you go down or come up too quickly in deep water you are likely to get the bends, a form of paralysis which manifests itself in a queer sort of shuffle, remindful of punchdrunk prizefighters. IT a diver stays down too long and suffers an excess of pressure he is almost certain to be afflicted, regardless of his expertness. This explains the presence of weather-beaten old-timers shuffling along the waterfront today, the battered G A. R. of the trade. a a a a a a TO the tourist Tarpon Springs is a picturesque canvas, a painting warm with old world overtones. The primitive architecture of Biblical days is still preserved in the diving boats; the lone surrender to modernity la the motor equipment. On a sunlit day the waterfront shrieks with gay colorings, what with bright-hued hulls and native flags. "It reminds me of Venice.” thrilled Mr. Howard Freeman, ifte artist. ‘Or a Hungarian wedding cake.” snapped the cynical Mr. George Weiss, business manager of the Newark baseball club. Leaving Mr. Freeman to his Venice and Mr. Weiss to Ms wedding cake. I sought out Mr. E. P. Macrenans. 82. father of the industry. Despite the suggestion of Scotch in his name. Mr. Macrcnaris is pure Greek, an adventurer who has roamed the globe, who fought under Kitchener and French in the Egyptian wars. I wanted some mate:ial on individuals. . . . ‘ Who was the Babe Ruth of the racket?” a a a a a a “Ah. Babe Ruth! You mean te baseball man. Ah. be is much too ■iV fat to be a diver. A diver m ist be thin. Your Babe Ruth, it would take a ton to weight him down. No. no. we have no Babe Ruths!” The old gentleman took me much more literally than i intended, but presently he told me about a certain diver with a name of many syllables who had done something no other diver has been able to equal—he went down in more than 200 feet of water and remained below for more than an hour. Because of the great depth and corresponding pressure, this is accounted phenomenal. It is no trick at all. apparently, for a diver to stay down five or six hours in comparatively shallow water —say, 30 to 40 feet. a a a a a a JUST why is it that Americans do not make sponge divers? "It is hard work. Americans do not like hard work. Our people J here are just as well pleased. It gives us a monopoly on a business we I like You see. the Greeks have been diving for sponges for centuries, j We know the bottom of the sea better than any other people.” What is the average life of a sponge diver? "Forty years. Maybe 50. It all depends on how carefully he per- j forms his job and how carefully he watches his appetite.” It then came out that a sponge diver must never cat until he has : fint hed his day's chores; there is something about a well-fed stomach that is detiimcntal to safety on the floor of the sea.

He didn't think Joe Lcuis was a contender at all and he wouldn't mention James J. Braddock in the rnme breath with Max Baer. He mentioned that $250,000 was a lot of money and declared in the ame breath that Max Schmeling, who has backing of that amount for an August bout in London, probably is the best of the challengers. "Max can bring Hitler along to referee a bout if $250,000 is posted,” he said. a a a EXLAINING why he isn’t interested in Louis, Baer said he thinks the punching Detroit youth is just another inexperienced youngster who is being pushed too fast He picks Primo Camera, the Italian hulk, to beat him June 19 in New York. "Louis is just a third-rater and no better than my brother. Buddy,” the champion scoffed. "You can take it from me that nobody's going to knock Camera out with one punch. The big spaghetti juggler will keep getting off the floor.” Ancil Hoffman. Baer’s manager, interrupted to mention the $1,000,000 cate that Mike Jacobs of New York predicted recently for a Louis-Baer fight in New York. Baer said yes. $1,000,000 is a lot of money and maybe Louis is better than he looks. "i'll fight him if anybody wants to pay.” he said. EIGHT MAT TITLES AT STAKE IN A. A. U.

Tribe Cancels 2 Exhibitions With Colonels Louisville to Play ‘Subs’ at Later Date: Indians Face Road Trip. BY EDDIE ASH Timts Sports Editor MAYFIELD, Ky„ April 3.—Red Killefer's Indianapolis Indians and Ken Penner's Louisville Colonels are carrying cut that old Southern gentleman tradition right down to scratch while their respective baseball clubs run up the grocery bill. For example, the Colonels, whose training base is Union City, Tenn., ere scheduled to meet the Hoosiers in Mayfield yesterday and wet grounds forced the calling off of the game. Chief Killefer of the Tribesters phoned Boss Pcnner at Union City and advised him to cancel the trip. That was about noon. There wasn’t a chance to play. Rain fell all mo.-n----ing. That was very nice of the Indians thought the Colonels and last .light Manager Penner called from Union City to repay the favor by informing the Indians it was useless for them to come to the Colonels’ camp for a game today. Killefer Getting Impatient Mr. Penner said, ‘‘lt has been demonstrated that Indianapolis and Louisville baseball clubs turn out real smart basketball teams and I believe the next experiment to try is crew racing. Your park is a lily pond and my park is a lily pond. Both of us will be in swell shape to enter an aquatic tournament wnen the American Association season opens on April 16.” The upshot of the weather in this territory is that the farmers are getting all of the breaks, Louisville has been washed out of its first five exhibition games and Indianapolis of its first two. And the Indians have been denied batting practice since last Friday. Manager Killefer has quit laughing it off and he is under the spell of the spring training jitters. His players are making a gallant effort to look pleased working indoors, but at the same time they are complaining about sore feet caused by romping around on a board floor. Play Nashville Tomorrow With the games of yesterday and today knocked out, the Tribesmen now will look forward to a long trip to Nashville to battle the Southern Association nine tomorrow. Jim Turner, regular flinger of last year, will join the Indians there and pitch part of the game. The Hoosiers will return :o Mayfield the same night and play the barnstorming House of David team here at Hunt Park on Friday, and on Saturday and Sunday Nashville will clash with the Killeferites in Mayfield. Louisville wants the Indianapolis “second team” to play in Union City on Sunday and Killefer will divide his squad and meet the request. He will use most of the regulars here, however, to oppose Nashville. Johnny Riddle, first string catcher, will direct the play of the team that will go to Union City. Joe Sprinz and Dee Moore will share the catching for the Indians at Mayfield Sunday. Moore is the “big bird” who is giving Sprinz a warm race for the assignment of No. 2 catcher. Thomas Still Unreported Dale Miller, Indianapolis road secretary. is a newcomer in camp and he will take some of the load off Manager Killefer. The Hoosier party in Mayfield now totals 39, including Indianapolis newspapermen and not including Indianapolis tourists who drop in now and then. The Tribe officials are unable to explain the absence of Pitcher Myles Thcmas, right-hander. They state I that Thomas accepted terms and notified them that he would be in ; Mayfield on March 30, but he still was on the missing list last night. It's possible, of course, that he won t report. In that event Manager Killefer will face another problem. The southpaw department of his staff has Red worried now and in the event Myles Thomas fails to show up it will be just another stretch of insomnia for the Tribe chieftain. He will have the righthanded “starters” to think about. WEST COAST PINMEN IN ACTION AT A. B. C. By United Pres* SYRACUSE N. Y. April 3.—The Far West will take its first fling at the American Bowling Congress to- I night when San Francisco joins | with teams from Pittsburgh and Ardmore. Pa., and a number from New York state in a drive on leaderships.

Kuss Mauls Plummer to Delight of Armory Fans Popular Otto 'Takes It/ Too, in Rough Mat Melee With Big Baltimore Toughie. Larrupin’ Lou Plummer, Baltimore’s boastful “bad boy” of the bonetwisting business, prooably awakened this morning with a bumping headache and several resents against Otto Kuss.

Lou tangled with the lanky collegian in the top tussle of the double-windup Hercules A. C. heavyweight wrestling card at the Armory last night, and the Maryland mauler wound up a distinct second. It wasn't all cream puffs for the popular Indiana University youngster, however. Plummer carried a 16-pound weight advantage and a taped right fist, both of which he used to good advantage against th<. collegian. But Otto proved he could “take it” in big doses and hand it out the same way. Kuss required 23 minutes to flatten Lou in the first stanza. A leg split, a flying tackle that scooted Plummer over the top rope and into the aisle, two flying scissors that came bouncing off the ropes, and a series of slams comprised the grand climax that left Lou limp. The second fall was abbreviated and all Kuss. Otto picked himself up after a left hook and slam by Plummer, hurled Lou to the mat several times none too gently, and then pounced on him to end it all in two minutes, much to the delight of Otto's fans and to Plummer’s disgust. Big Jim McMillen, the classy Chicagoan. found speedy Jack Smith a pesky as well as tough opponent. Gentleman Jack slipped away from Jim’s holds for 45 minutes before McMillen clamped on a reverse arm lock and pinned him with a back slam. McMillen decided to get tough in the second fall, and after 18 minutes, ended the action with flying tackles and slams. Both of the top bouts provided the 3500 customers with lively action, and the opener was no different. Wild Pat Murphy of Racine, Wis., who booted out three front teeth for Pete Schuh here recently, almost repeated the operation on Ivlahmet Youseff. He raised a wellsized bump on the Turkish grappler’s face with one kick, and humped him under the chin with another.

Local Pin Stars Triumph on Trip Pritchett and Fehr Best Columbus (Ind.) Pair. By Times Special COLUMBUS. Ind., April 3—A large delegation of Indianapolis ten pin followers were on hand here last night to witness formal opening of the Bowling Alleys, Inc., and to \--y tribute to Frank Heuber, manager of the new establishment. Heuber, formerly one of the Capital City’s outstanding bowlers, arranged a program that brought a pair of his former team mates, Jess Pritchett and John Fehr, into the dedication ceremonies. The Indianapolis combination teamed in a three-game match against a pair of local stars, Everett and Fred Hoeltker, and w’on, 1202 to 965. Pritchett nabbed the spotlight at the start, linking a string of strikes in his initial game lor a 277 count. The winning duo then took on Sim Guckenberger of Columbia and Henry Shriver, Indianapolis, and turned them back, 1178 to 984. Pritchett had a total of 1258 for an average of 209 over the six-game route, while Fehr totaled 1125 for a 188 average.

Youseff evened the count by subduing the Irishman with armlocks and slams. The time was 18 minutes. Ed (Strangler) Lewis, former world's champion, is booked for next Tuesday night's headline attraction and Lloyd Carter, Hercules matchmaker, is seeking a strong opponent.
