Braddock Receives High Vote as ‘Surprise’King Editors See Victory Over Baer as Year’s Biggest Upset; Maxie Termed ‘Greatest Flop.’ By United I’rex* NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—On the night of June 13 in Madison Square Garden bowl, the greatest surprise and the greatest disappointment in 1935 sports were enacted. The surprise came when Jimmy Braddock, a 10-to-l underdog in the betting, outpointed Max Baer in a 15-round fight for the world heavyweight championship. For that feat, Braddock today earned the votes of 150 of 185 sports editors who participated in the United Press poll as 1935’s most startling performer.

To Baer, who had been hailed as a ereat champion, went the nomination of 173 writers for greatest flop. They called him anything from a mere disappointment to a “yellow Palooka.” Braddock and Baer completely dominated the voting on both questions. Second to Braddock as the most surprising athlete of the year, with 10 votes, was Wiimer Allison, v/ho upset Fred Perry in the semifinals of the United States Tennis championships. Runner-up to Baer in the disappointment column was A1 Simmons, Chicago White Sox*outfielder. Simmons, who was traded to Detroit recently, received six votes for his failure to bat any better than .267. Baer Gets Verbal Lacing In commenting on Baer, in his fights with Braddock and Joe Louis, many editors used harsh terms in expressing their sentiments toward the one-time Livermore larruper. “The man with the cellophane stomach who turned white with fear,” one editor said. Others comments were just as bitter, such as: “His quitting against Louis was a deliberate display of the yellow streak. ... He failed utterly, even disgustingly, in his big moment.” In naming Braddock as the year’s outstanding surprise, several editors said that they believed even Jimmy himself was surprised. Many said that at 'he time they could not believe Braddock had become champion but after Louis whipped Baer it did not seem so startling. Babe Is Considered Only three other athletes besides Baer and Simmons got into the disappointment list. Babe Ruth was given four votes for his failure to shine with the Boston Braves; Jesse Owens, track star, received one for failing to star at the National A. A. U. outdoor games, and Gene Saracen. golfer, was given a vote lor not living up to expectations. In the surprise column, many teams and individuals were in the voting. Third place, with nine votes, went to Notre Dame for its

victory over Ohio State. Northwestern. which whipped Notre Dame the week following, was given four votes for that feat, and Carnegie Tech received three ballots for its surprising gridiron triumph over Purdue. Others in the Running The following received one vote: Sam Parks, U. S. Open golf winner; Duke, for its football triumph over unbeaten North Carolina; Owens for his feat in breaking three records and tying one on a single afternoon; U. C. L. A. for defeating Stanford; Mississippi State for whipping Army; the Chicago White Sox for their rise in the American League; Jay Berwanger, Chicago football star, for almost singlehandedly beating Illinois; Wisconsin for its only victory of the season over a favored Purdue team, and the Chicago Cubs for winning the National League pennant.

Local Paddle Ace Stars in National Meet McClure Serves Notice on Zone Rivals; City Team Finishes Third. Time* Special CHICAGO, 111., Jan. 6.—Jimmy McClure, Indianapolis table tennis star and the nation's No. 2 seeded player, today had served notice on his rivals that he will be the man to beat in the third annual American Zone championships to be played in Washington, D. C., Jan. 30, 31 and Feb. 1. In the national Inter-city meet here last week-end the Hoosier ace vindicated a previous bitter setback by defeating Abe Berenbaum of New’ York. This victory evened the score between the two, since Berenbaum edged out McClure in the finals of the national championships last year. Jimmy Is Undefeated McClure captured individual honors in the tournament here yesterday when he posted a winning streak of 11 straight without a defeat. Sol Schiff, New’ York, a former national champion, took second place with 12 victories in 13 starts.

It was the fourth consecutive in-ter-city paddle championship for the Gotham aggregation, w’hich triumphed in all six of its team jousts. Locals Lose Thriller In a bitterly contested match Saturday, New York won over Indianapolis by a 5-to-4 score.

Jumper Crop Brightens U. S. Olympic Hopes Sport of Making ‘3-Story Hops’ Gaining High Popularity. BY JOE KING Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—Skiing is growing so fast in America that the j comics have stopped gagging it as ! a Swedish breakfast food. Railroad rolling stock, formerly idle over week-ends, becomes a snow train, and New England is threatening Florida's popularity as a winter re- j sort. The citizens have quit yelling at the janitor for more heat and are swishing over snow or throwing themselves into space with sevenfoot bedslats tied to their feet. So far they haven’t progressed much beyond wrapping themselves around trees and landing on their cervical vertebrae. But they are getting places—the U. S. Olympic ski team, which shoved off for Germany Saturday, fer the first time showed a majority of American-born athletes. And it is regarded as the best ever U. S. squad. The experts today are shouting hopefully for the first place w’ith the present team, instead cf whispering pessimistically about a tenth. Deaths Are “Not Many” Dr. Joel H. Hildebrand, University of California chemistry professor, who is managing the team, says that the improvement in ability and numbers of Olympic candidates has been sensational since the Placid games in 1932. He states that officials are driving hard to develop championship material, especially jumpers. As one who has hung in dread atop those 300-foot jumping scaffolds and shuddered every time a fellow shot into space at a mile-a-minute clip, I think it will be a major diplomatic coup if the officials get their jumpers. You can’t say to a lad: “It is very simple, this jumping. The takeoff is only 30 stories high, and there aren’t many deaths in the sport.” But They Don’t Mind The jumpers, however, seem to be more heroic or mad than their admiring reporter, w’ho would rather let Joe Louis sock him than be scrambled over a snowy landscape. There was, for instance, that Japanese boy, 19-year-old Goro Adachi at the Placid Olympics. Adachi got the bird when he fell while skiing along the village streets. Two w’eeks before the Olympics he gyrated from the takeoff into the grand stand. Goro was reassembled and shipped to the hospital. The spectators were flabbergasted when, patched in several places, he took his turn in the competition and leaped to the sixth best jump of the day. He became the first Japanese to do 216 feet. Daring Youngsters. Goro W’as very young and that explains a great deal about ski jumping. The daring young men who float through trie air W’ith the greatest of ease and risk are the young skiers. As soon as the good fellows reach 25 they begin to value their hides more and medals less. Consequently, they throw a dash of .caution into their performance and don’t give all on the takeoff in that extra push that may mean anew record or a broken neck. Nineteen was a magical age in the Placid jumping. Two Norwegians of that age, Birger Ruud and Hans Beck were the top contenders, with Ruud nosing out Beck. Ruud’s brother, Sigmund, was the favorite, but he didn’t show his accustomed form. He was 24. There is a 19-year-old jumper on the united States team who gets a nod of recognition from the older naturalized Scandinavian leapers. He is Walter Isaac Bietila. a native of Ishpeming, Mich. That number 19 is still up, Ike, and you have it. Judges Have Their Troubles The skiers aren’t satisfied with sailing as far as they can in one piece; they also insist on a prescribed style in the air and a graceful landing, without a fall. There are as many ideas on this style as there are judges. It is seldom that a winner of a ski jump is announced before the judges have juggled their figures 10 minutes and cast vituperation on their associates’ selections for several hours. The Placid judges spoke four J hours in three languages, named ! Beck the wirner, then reversed the : decision to Ruud. New Star Appears on Tennis Horizon Time• Special NEW ORLEANS.

JEALOUS MATE IS CLEARED IN PEACOCK CASE Chiropodist’s Alibi Wins Detectives’ Approval; Mystery Deepens. By r aitrd Prr*g CHICAGO, Jan. 6.—-Mystery surrounding the brutal murder of Dr. Silber C. Peacock, prominent child specialist, became more baffling today after police spent 10 hours questioning a suspect. Arrest of Arthur St. George Thompson, 41, a chiropodist, was first hailed as a major oreak. Chief of Detectives John L. Sullivan said he was satisfied Thompson was not the slayer and would be released. Thompson admitted he was intensely jealous of a “Doc Peacock,” whom he believed to be associating with his estranged wife, Arlene Johnson Thompson, now living in Minneapolis. He also admitted he visited Dr. Silber Peacock last Oc- ' tober and was forcibly ejected from the doctor’s office when he accused the doctor of paying attention to Mrs. Thompson. From Minneapolis came the statement from Mrs. Thompson that the slain man was not the “Doc Peacock” who bought her drinks in a Chicago saloon last summer.
