RONNIE MACK has cleaned house by selling off his stars to the Boston Red Sox, but just what he intends to use for replacements is difficult to figure. lie has received a few second-grade players in the deals to enable him to list the transactions as “.rades” instead of sales, but the fans are not fooled and anew record for low attendance at Shibe Park is expected to be posted this year. It's true that the Athletics finished last in 1935, but it’s also true that the leading members of the team were certain they were slated to go to another club this winter. And they didn’t hustle. Buying players of the caliber of Foxx, McNair, Cramer and Markum during the off-season Is a lift to the Red Sox and puts the Beaneaters in a position to defy all rivals. On the other hand, it’s a bad thing for the game, especially in Philadelphia, which is asked to support two second division big league clubs. The Phillies are hopeless in the National League and the Athletics are destined to flounder for several years to come. Os course Tom Yawkey, Red Sox owner, has a burning desire to win a pennant and is willing to spend a fortune to succeed. Still, even money doesn't always produce in baseball. The “pennant spark” must be there. Too many stars on one club may act as a boomerang to Yawkey’s millions. The prima donnas may not hitch.

Louis Sharpens Punch For Clip at Retzlaff

Times Special CHICAGO, Jan. 6.—Training to work off the four and a half pounds he has gained since the Uzcudun fight. Joe Louis today beat a steady tattoo on sparring partners and punching bags in preparation for his heavyweight match in the Chicago Stadium Jan. 17 with Charlie Retzlaff. Loop gamblers, who believe Retzlaff will have to be carried out of the ring after one of Louis’ punches, speculated today on how far liic fight would go. The fact that the Brown Bomber only started training 13 days before the tilt indicates how lightly his handlers regard the match. ROCHESTER GETS PITCHERS ROCHESTER. N Y.. Jan. 6.

Four matches are on the program this week, and other players are scheduled to meet early next week. At 8 tomorrow night, Larry Shapiro, who now is leading the pack with five wins and no losses, is to meet Cooler. A victory for the latter would change the complexion of this race. The defending title holder, Lou Spivey, is booked to tangle wtih Phil Greenberger Wednesday night, and Clayton McGregor of Terre Hauie and Leonard Quill are to match skill Thursday night. On Friday Walt Ramsey is to shoot it out with Sonny Pilz.

Kautskys Upset Dayton , Begin Tour Over State Local Cagers to 'Steak’ Claims for Supremacy Over Renaissance; Repulse Metros, 30 to 28. BY TOM OCHILTREE Alter a protracted Eastern invasion and a one-day home stand, those hearty eaters and professional basketballers who travel under the name of the Indianapolis Kautskys, left today to discoyer Indiana.

Opposition on this tour will be furnished by the New York Renaissance, a Negro aggregation that won 122 games and lost 17 in a swing across the country last season. These teams will play at Marion tonight, Anderson tomorrow and Bedford Wednesday. Thursday night the series will wind up with a tilt in the Butler Fieldhouse here. In Title Running As usual, the Kautskys are expected to set new T-bone steak consumption records. On their last trip, hotel managers were awed every time the boys barged into the dining rooms. They need nourishment now, after the hair-raiser the Dayton Metropolitans put them through in the Armory yesterday. The locals finally won, 30 to 28, in this contest which kept them in the running for the Midwest Conference title. It was a basketball players basketball game, if you know what I mean. Both squads executed offensive plays with a degree of aptness approaching perfection. The passing was smooth and beautiful to watch. Daytons Block Well Dayton excelled in blocking. All during the game. Cookie Cunningham and Gene Mechling tied up Kautsky guards, while their mate, Howard Stammeler, took leisurely long shots at the hoop. This feat was ail the more remarkable in view of the fact that the Kautskys are rated the keenest defensive players in the circ- \ private scoring duel was w.ged by Stammeler, who rang up aix baskets, and Johnny Wooden, who found the range on five field goals and four charity shots. Since his colleagues were unable to check out the Dayton guards. Wooden depended mainly on dazzling bursts of speed for his counters. Basket* by Mechling and Stam-

Foes of City High School Quintets in for Trouble as Locals Go on Victory Drive Home Basketmen Renew Drills With Soaring Confidence After Scoring Grand Slam Over Week-End; 'Double-Headers’ Fill Schedule. BY PAUL BOXELL HAVING hit their usual midseason stride with their usual gusto at the usual time, Indianapolis high school basketball teams confidently began preparation today for their neaviest week-end warfare of the season. All are billed for two games next Friday and Saturday, except Cathedral and Broad Ripple who make single appearances on Friday night. City quintets, after meeting considerable early season sorrow, have thrown off their rusty shackles and promise to make things hot for state rivals, as well as each other, the rest of the way in.

Proof that the local clubs are capable of mass victory was made this last week-end when they scored a grand slam, winning seven games in seven played. Broad Ripple lost, but the result still goes in the city triumph column since it was Cathedral’s Irish who registered the victory over the Rockets. The Cathedralites added another brightener to the record when they turned back Central Catholic of Fort Wayne in a scrapfest Saturday night, 27 to 26. With moments to go and the tally deadlocked, Bob Conner sank a free throw and the invaders couldn't match it. tt tt tt CATHEDRAL is host to Manual in the feature intra-city contest of the week-end next-Friday. Broad Ripple opposes Park School Friday in the only other city rivalry encounter. Tech and Shortridge made Hoosier cagedom a bit more Capital City conscious Saturday night when they produced impressive vistories over important foes. McDaniel racked up five field goals and Mueller four as Shortridge edged out Kokomo in a thriller on the North Side, 33 to 31. Kokomo defeated Tech in the locals’ first venture of the season. Tech looked good in a decisive 26-to-22 nod over Morton of Richmond, a North Central Conference rival. It was the first conference victory for the Big Green men, who previously had bowed to Kokomo and Newcastle and tied Frankort. tt tt tt SHORTRIDGE entertains Martinsville Friday night and travels to Seymour Saturday. Reports are consistent that Glen Curtis has put together another of his smoothworking “surprise” net machines for the campaign. Although the Artesians have batted little more than .509 in the early season, observers expect Coach Curtis to begin gearing up his combination for tourney play with this game. Tech travels to Logansport for a conference collision Friday night and returns home Saturday to test Connersville’s Spartans. Coach Cliff Wells is bringing along another good team at Logansport, but the Berries hardly can be considered favorites over the Techmen, since they have lost as many tilts as they have won. tt tt tt AFTER taking on Cathedral, Manual’s Redskins move to Center Grove Saturday. The Redskins boast three straight victories after trouncing Mooresville and Westfield over the week-end, but should they get over Cathedral their string is far from secure. Center Grove thumped Broad Ripple a few weeks back, and last week-end outclassed Decatur Central’s county champions. Alexandria, playing at Washington Friday, is coached by Norman Cottom, pride of Purdue and a Gimbel Medal winner. The Continentals, who boosted their record to four triumphs against one defeat

meler got the Metropolitans off to a four-point lead in the first minute of play. Then Bill Perigo hit a circus shot for the home team and Frank Baird added a foul. Cunningham's free throw and Stammeler’s goal and charity toss gave the visitors an 8 to 3 edge, and the Kautskys looked like they had dined on ground glass. After Bill Shaver watched his mates bobble six short attempts, he took matters in his own hands and hit from the middle of the court. This was the outstanding shot of the fray. At the end of the quarter Dayton was in front 8 to 6, but the Kautskys then began to open up. Perigo tied the count 8-all, only to have the visitors score from the floor to go ahead again. Wooden Cuts l oose Running his opponents dizzy, Wooden got loose under the basket for a two-pointer and then made a free throw. The score was 11 to 10, Kautskys. The Metropolitails came back strong, however, and pulled up even at 13 to 13. Wooden's ..basket and Norman Cottom's brace of free throws made it Kautskys, 17; Metropolitans, 13, at the half. A single-handed uprising by Stammeler knotted the count for the third time at 17-all when play was resumed, but Wooden answered the pleas of the crowd and looped two more through. The visitors went into the last stanza trailing by eight points, and while they staged a superb rally, they couldn't catch up. Summary’: Summary: Kautsky A. 7. f3O Dayton i2Bt.

A. family put in rigging up a system to settle prolonged overtime games, the boys won’t pay a bit of attention to it. Instead of allowing each team to toss five free throws to decide the issue after a repeater deadlock, the boys are just calling it quits and leaving the score knotted up. Two such cases have popped up already this season. Tech and Frankfort couldn’t get untangled in two overtimes and decided to call it an evening with honors even at 31-31. Neither Greencastle nor Bloomington could budge past number 20 last w'eek-end and gave up after two added heats, waiving the right to settle the matter by charitable methods. Would you call it treason, Mr. Trester? Or common sense? tt tt tt If Ben Davis is upset again this year, it will be another stirring production of Mutiny on the County. tt tt tt INDIANA University has a fancy crop of freshman basketeers this year. But what -to do with the newcomers when they grow up into varsity fodder is a problem which surely must be graying Coach Everett Dean. Your informer happened to run into Jack Tharp of Plainfield, home on vacation, the other day, and picked up some data on the rhinie roster at I. U. Among the score or more survivors on the yearling squad are several state high school standouts, including Andres and ’ Johnson of Jeffersonville, Stevenson of Shortridge, Porter of Logansport, Singer of Jasper, Martin of New Albany, and Dorcey and Wattle of Kentucky, not to forget Tharp and Pope of Plainfield. But here’s the rub. Only three of the first 20 men on the present varsity are seniors, and 12 are sophomores! That makes the going tough on the struggling rhinies. To reach their goal they not only have to be among the three best of the upcoming field, they have to outclass 12 other scrappers already considered good enough for first string material! tt tt tt The plebes are not kicking, though. It makes the goal all the more worthwhile to go after, Jack says. The freshman coach is Ralph Graham, who was connected with Bo McMillin in Kansas and accompanied Bo to the Hoosier campus. Graham also is one of McMillin’s competent aides during the grid season. Jack Tharp did not divine that our chat would result in this article. If he had, he m have gone silent on me, for he is exceedingly publicity shy. He was that way when he was Plainfield’s high school hero. tt tt tt Anderson’s Indians believe in taking quick and terrible vengeance. After absorbing a lacing from Logansport in a New Year tourney, the Scalpers came back to squash the Logan Berries two days later, 30 to 27. tt tt a Which serves more than ever to make the state champs the mystery club of the season. tt tt tt Coach Ward Lambert of Purdue takes a gentlemanly bow to the eastward and says: “Ohio State is great this year. She will give us the most difficult game of our Big Ten schedule tonight.” I’ll bet he tells that to all the conference girls. Three Tilts Carded on Hall Mat Tonight Cecil (Blacksmith) Pedigo of Louisville is to meet Johnny Carlin, local veteran, in the final match of the Tomlinson Hall mat show tonight. In the other feature tug, Simon Boysell of Cincinnati is booked to tangle with ’’Gentleman Jack” Smithers of Chicago. Both of these jousts will be for two out of three falls w-ith a one and a half hour time limit. The one fall opening bout is to bring together Cliff Olsen, Milwaukee middleweight, and Hans Strassinger. Women will be admitted free with or without escorts. PURDUE FENCERS LOSE Timet Special CINCINNATI, O. Jan. 6.—University of Cincinnati fencers edged out Purdue University’s team, 9 to 8. here last night.

State Big Ten Fives Launch Pennant Race Purdue Invades Ohio and I. U. Battles Michigan; Upsets Occur. By United rrrtt CHICAGO. Jan. 6.—Upsets in the first two Western Conference games of the season paved the way for further surprises in the nine Big Ten basketball games scheduled for this week. Four games will be played tonight and five on Saturday. Two of the three co-champions of last season were defeated Saturday night. Wisconsin was humbled by Ohio State. 44 to 23, and Illinois lost to lowa, 27 to 26. Other GamM Purdue, third of the 1934-35 title holders, tonight will meet Ohio State at Columbus. Wisconsin plays Chicago here, Illinois meets Minnesota at Minneapolis, and Indiana journeys to Ann Arbor to oppose Michigan. Games scheduled for Saturday night include Purdue at Chicago, Northwestern at Indiana, Illinois at Wisconsin, Ohio State at lowa and Minnesota at Michigan. Showing plenty of power on offense, Ohio State triumphed over Wisconsin without trouble. Although the Badgers had quite a reputation for tight defensive play, they couldn’t cope with the Bucks’ fast breaks. Aee Scores 18 Points Warren Whitlinger of Ohio gained individual scoring laurels with 18 points. The Buckeye aggregation accounted for 16 field goals and 12 of 18 free throw opportunities. For a time in the second half it looked as though the sky was the limit on their score. Meanwhile, the Badgers found the range on only six field goals, and four of these came in the last half. The Illini-lowa tussle at lowa Saturday was close and was a “real” upset. The Hawks had displayed little form in pre-Conference games. INDIANA SQUAD DEPARTS Timet Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 6.
