YORK, April 25.—What had be .a more or less of an open secret in fight circles for days apparently became official when the various newspapers announced that Bill Carey was coming back to the beak busting business as president of the newly formed Twentieth Century Club. Right off Carey will be remembered as the Wall Street engineer who moved into Macfison Square Garden to replace Tex Rickard after Tex had made up his mind—or had it made up for him by disgruntled directors—to launch an individual adventure in the Florida gambling fields. If my information is correct Carey was one of the directors who deplored the seemingly loose business tactics of Rickard. It so happened Rickard knew the men he was dealing with and how to deal with them. If a certain looseness existed in these dealings it was because the parties involved were accustomed to doing business that way. a a a bbb I SUPPOSE it was quite natural that the business men who formed the governing board of the Garden and were used to precise, legal fooloroof transactions w r cre shocked at the way Rickard carried on. And this Respite the fact that he always put or. spectacular shows. And with one o.- two scattered exceptions, always made money. So when Carey, sound-dollat and matter of fact executive, took over the reins it must have been with the thought that he would run the prize fight business in the same hard, fixed manner he conducted his engineering business. He would preserve the Rickard formula in making matches, but ”ould tie up the loose ends of the business so as to show a greater profit. a a a a a a CAREY had not been on the job very long before he realized the fight business is a business that runs to very unique pecularities, that it is something quite different from engineering, stock promotion or merchandising. Speedily he learned it was an amusing albeit sinister racket and that Rickard's policy had been sound all the way. Among other things, the brusque engineer who had laid out a railroad upstate before he was 21 learned it w'as necessary to come down to the level of the men he was working with—the fighters, their managers and the mobsters. This kind of intimacy was more important, he learned, than a brisk, straight from the shoulder, profit-insured sales talk. For it developed that these strange people would rather work for “a guy they liked' 1 than for somebody else who offered more money. a a a a a a IN due time then, Carey, who had come to the Garden an utter greenhorn as a fight promoter, became a really important figure in the fight game, and at the time he resigned—or was forced to resign by office politics—he was almost as secure in his position as Rickard had been. It was a definite blow both to the fight game and to the Garden when Carey was forced out. Now the newspapers say he is coming back—coming back as head of the Twentieth Century Club, a club that seems destined to overshadow the Garden in fight promotions. Already the Twentieth Century has lined up Camera against the sensational Detroit Negro heavyweight, Louis, and the winner is very’ likely to meet Baer iater in the year. Also the Twentieth Century has booked another meeting between Ross and McLarnin for the welterweight championship, and the club’s connections are such that it would seem to be in a position to create a virtual monopoly on all the worth-while fighters in the game. If this should turn out to be so the Garden will either be forced to ta’ the Twentieth Century into its own home or retire from competition.

Sam Langford’s Sight Is Restored hg Operation Boston Tar Baby Plans to See His First Fight in Five Years When Louis Meets Camera.

By United Press NEW YORK, April 25.—Sam Langford came back from the shadows of almost total blindness today and gavly planned to see his first boxing match in more than five years when Joe Louis, a 1935 edition of the Boston Tar Baby himself, meets Primo Camera in June.

Sam will squint at the fight with his ‘‘one good eye,” in which 50 per cent vision has been restored. Dr. James W. Smith removed bandages fnm Langford’s eye last night and wts greeted by shouts of “I can see you. doctor.” The veteran of 400 battles, 50, gray and battered, has had a sightless left eye since 1917 when Fred Fulton landed a punch that started total blindness. While his sight dimmed, his earning power diminished, and he has been a destitute, glum Tar Baby through the last few years. a a tt ”T can see now as good as when 1 X was champion of Mexico,” Langford said today. With his left eye gone and his

Irf recent months he has been on relief, shabby, sometimes hungry and never certain of his room rent. He is particularly eager to see Louis, the Detroit Negro contender, fight, because Louis some day might be as good as Langford was in his heyday. Also because Louis has rallied to his aid. Louis will donate proceeds from a gymnasium workout. Langford underwent an operation several weeks ago. The outcome was uncertain until the bandages were removed last night.

Toledo Opens 4-Game Series Here After Red Birds Hang 18-8 Walloping on Indians Columbus Completes Six Double Plays, Tying League Record, and Collects 25 Hits; Seven Runs Scored in Ninth; Ankenman Shines in Short Field. BY EDDIE ASII Times Sports Editor. It’s difficult to make some persons believe that during nesting time in Florida the mocking birds become so tough they chase dogs up the alleys and across choice corner lots, but after what happened at Perry Stadium yesterday it’s a good guess the mocking bird story will carry weight. There it was, where all could see—Red Birds chasing Indians all over the park. Twenty-five hits bounced off the bats of the Birds and when they % quit pecking at the Redskins the score was 18 to 8. The Columbus pastimers evened up for the defeat on the day before by slaughtering the home boys and made the punishment hurt more by tallying seven runs on eight hits in the final inning.

April 25.—A proposed heavyweight boxing title match for Soldier Field in September seemed a step nearer today after a conference between Aneil Hoffman, manager of Champion Max Baer, and James Norris Jr., owner of the Chicago Stadium and Detroit Olympia. Norris and his matchmakers, Nate Lewis and Jim Mullen, want Baer to meet Joe Louis, Primo Camera or Max Schmeling in the big lakesho-e stadium. ‘‘We won', do anything until after Max’s fight with James Braddock,” Hoffman said, “but we like Chicago for the next title bout. “Baer probably will fight for Norris, Mullen and Lewis.” Kokomo to Vie for Seventh Relay Title By United Press KOKOMO.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1935

The gasping Hoosiers were ready for the wrecker. They were all in, their tongues were hanging out and their legs barely responded when another pursuit of the flying pellet was necessary. While forcing the Indians to sweat blood, the Red Birds executed six double plays to tie the American Association record. Milwaukee made six two-ply killings against Louisville on July 30, 1929, and Toledo duplicated the feat against Indianapolis on Sept. 9 0 f last year. Seven Pitchers Used The Hoosiers collected a mess of hits, 16 for the day, but their pitchers couldn’t hold up under the Columbus attack and the beating was severe. Chamberlain, Wright, Sharp and Gallivan saw service on the home mound and Mooney, Cooper and Chambers pitched for the Birds. The victory boosted Columbus back to first place, leaving Indianapolis, Minneapolis and St. Paul in a three-way tie for second. All first division teams except Columbus lost yesterday and even poor old Kansas City, with six straight defeats, finally won a game by trouncing the Saints. Fred Haney’s Toledo Mud Hens are at Perry Stadium today to open a four-game series that will extend through Sunday. The Indians downed the Hens three out of four in Toledo recently. The Tribe record with the Red Birds is even, two wins and two losses. Close Until the Ninth The Indians actually made a courageous fight of it for eight innings yesterday, but after that it was the blow-off. The score was 11 to 8, Columbus, at the end of the eighth. Then in the ninth the Birds cut loose with a cloudburst of base hits and ran the Tribesmen dizzy. The box score, carried elsewhere on this page, will give you an idea of what occurred. The Killiferites got away to a rousing start and led, 3 to 2, 4 to 2, and 5 to 4 before they were topped by the visitors in the fourth, 7 to 5. The Birds made it 8 to 5 in the fifth and in the eighth both clubs chalked three runs. Gallivan Bombarded Phil Gallivan took up the Tribe pitching in the eighth, got by that one round and then went kite-flying in the ninth. Eleven Birds went to the plate in that frame before the side was retired. It w r as an elegant afternoon to fatten batting averages and the Birds were gloating when they left the city for Louisville. Pat Ankenman, midget shortstop of the Columbus crew, supplied the fielding features of the afternoon. The 21-year-old phenom accepted 14 chances without a miss, got a single, double and walk, scored two runs, batted in two and participated in five of the six Red Bird double plays. The lad’s a wonder.

Campbell Is Kiwanis Winner; 5 Others T ie A field of 40 linksmen participated in the first Kiwanis Club golf tournament of the season yesterday at the Speedway with Walter Campbell annexing low gross honors with a 78.

Sailor Beware Is Second Greentree Derby Threat

' r

BY MAX RIDDLE NEA Service Turf Writer TN the opinion of many competent observers, Sailor Beware will be a far stronger candidate for Kentucky Derby honors on May 4 than Plat Eye, his Greentree stablemate, despite the latter’s recent impressive victory in the Chesapeake Stakes. They are a formdiable pair entered by Mrs. Payne Whitney. Up and Up also is a Greentree Stable Derby candidate. Sailor Beware was heavily campaigned in 1934 and did not show his true worth until late in the year. He started in 21 races, won

Willman Wins Feature Race on Midget Card Milwaukee Driver Also Takes Two Other Events; Crashes and Close Finishes Thrill Crowd. Thrills greeted the 4000 spectators that witnessed the midget auto races in the Fairground Coliseum last night. Close finishes, tail spins and crackups made up an evening that had the miniature speed demon fans on their feet through the eleven events on the program.

From a field of 12 starters in the feature race of the evening, a 30lap affair, only seven finished. Tony Willman, Milwaukee driver, propelled his Auburn Special into first place in the event for his third win of the evening. The trio of victories strengthened the Milwaukee flash’s claim to the championship of the Midwestern midget auto racing circuit. The ten-lap handicap race was a hair-raising event. Four of the

Gossip of the Tribesmen

Myles Thomas was slated to open against the Mud Hens today and Vance Page will draw the Tribe chucking assignment tomorrow. Jim Turner has been held back by a bad shoulder. Johnny Cooney hurt a leg late in yesterday’s game and retired in the eighth, but he expected to return to action this afternoon. Carl (Danny) Boone, former Indianapolis hurler, is on the mound staff of the Toledo club. He joined the Hoosier pennant winners of 1928 late in the season- Manager Haney played third on that great Tribe machine that copped the “little world series” in a walkaway. Boone pitched the game that clinched the A. A. flag on the last day of the season. The Indians received a disheartening break in the fourth yesterday. The bases were loaded with one down when Stephenson topped the ball and it dropped in front of the plate on fair territory. Catcher Ogrodowski grabbed it, touched the plate, forcing Wright coming in from third and then threw to first for a double play, retiring the side. The Indians completed two double plays, making a total of eight for the one game. Rookie Ralph Rhein played short in the absence of Otto Bluege, who is ill. Rhein got two hits and handled the position fair enough. Two of Chief Killefer’s pitchers, Bolen and Walsh, are on the hospital list and Jim Elliott has been suspended indefinitely for failure to sign a contract. Moreover, he is not in shape. Bob Walsh, injured during the home opener Tuesday, is out of the hospital, but will see no action for a long time. His pitching arm will be in a sling indefinitely. Jur? Mooney, the Columbus starting flinger, gave way to a pinch swatter in the fourth yesterday and Cooper, who relieved, was knocked out of the box by the Tribesmen in the seventh. Chambers finished for the league champs. Wright forgot to run and remained on second when Cotelle was retired on a high bounce in the fourth and this oversight led to the

Sailor Beware, a son of St. James, out of Lady Be Good, by Touch Me Not, started seven times before he was able to win a race. He then trimmed a band of horses which included the highly regarded Boxthorn.

His ability to carry the Derby weight of 126 pounds is not known, but presumably he will not be bothered in this respect.

Ronnie Hour°holder, Los Angles pilot, copped tvo events while others were won by Marshall Lewis, St. Louis; Jimmy Rogers, Melrose Park; Bozo Balus, New York, and Harry Lewis, Chicago. Recent improvements left the track in splendid condition for last night’s events.

Stephenson double play on a short roller that “murdered” the Indians. After the Cotelle out, Rhein was struck by a pitched ball and Cooney got a short single, filling the bases. The Cooney hit would have scored Wright had he been on third. The sun bothered First Sacker Heath on ground balls and Fred Bedore was a little backward about tackling hard drives to his third base territory. All of which helped pile up hits for the Red Birds. One for the book: Pitcher Chamberlain of the Tribe got one hit in one time at bat, Pitcher Wright got two in two times, Gallivan got one in one time up and Stoneham, who batted for Pitcher Sharp in the seventh, also hit safely. In other words, the pitcher’s position in he batting order batted 1.000. It’s probably a record. TRIBE BATTING AB H 2B 3B HR Pet.

Cleveland Only Half-Game Back of Hurrying Red Sox After Victory Over Browns Oral Hildebrand Allows but Six Bingles While Pitching Eight Innings for ‘Big Train'; Chisox Defeat Tigers as Washington, Others Homer. BY LAWTON CARVER t'nited Tress Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. April 25.—Picked by many to dethrone the Tigers as American League champions, the Cleveland Americans apparently believe all they have heard. By cashing in on the class of the pitching in their circuit they stand today as the top choice to make a race to the finish. Their position of second place, a half-game behind the Red Sox. probably doesn't mean anything this early, but the Clevelanders have a firing squad which has been leveling enemy hitters with sufficient regularity to bring praise from the old man himself, -The Big Train’’—Walter Johnson. 1

There are no Johnsons pitching for the club, but the Monte Pearsons, Mel Harders, Hildebrands and others have won five out of six half I * of them extra-inning contests. Cleveland bettered its place in the standings with a typical game, while the leading Red Sox and the Yankees were held idle by rain yesterday. Foxx's Circuit Blow Wasted The game was typical because Cleveland got good enough pitching to stay in the game and take advantage of the breaks when they came. In this case, Oral Hildebrand pitched a six-hit game for eight innings, retired for a pinch hitter, after which Lloyd Brown took over the hill to hold the Browns, while his team beat them. Fay Thomas, who pitched a superlative four-hitter for the losers, literally gave the game away in the ninth when he went to pieces after an error, walked three and forced in the winning run for Cleveland, 3 to 2. The Tigers lost their sixth game in eight starts and fell to within a half game of the cellar when the Chicago White Sox suddenly came to life to overcome a 4-to-3 disadvantage. In the seventh, Simmons and Bonura hit homers, after which Vernon Washington added one in the eighth and the Sox w-on, 10 to 4. Jimmy Foxx wasted his third home run of the season for the Athletics as Lefty Bob Burke hurled eight-hit ball for Washington and won, 3 to 2. Dizzy Dean Is Beaten The National League slate was topped by the 7-to-6 defeat of Dizzy Dean against the Chicago Cubs, who first knocked Harrell and Tinning out of the box with a 15-hit attack. ’lJhe Brooklyn Dodgers won their sixth game in eight starts on the four-hit hurling of Van Lingle Mungo against the futile Phils. Linus Frey hit his fourth homer for the Dodgers and they came in, 4 to 1. Hal Schumacher gave up only three hits to the Braves and was robbed of a shutout by Les Mallon’s ninth-inning home run as the Giants won, 3 to 1. Cy Blanton, who won his first start of the season for the Pirates by turning in a one-hit shutout, came back with a six-hit game against the Reds, 11 of whom fanned as they lost, 5 to 2. Yesterday’s Hero: Mark Koenig' Giants, who started a winning rally by hitting in his seventh consecutive game.
