By Eddie Ash CINCY REDS FACE LONG GRIND |* m m TRAINING TO LAST 2 MONTHS

gASEBALL fans of Cincinnati hope their beloved Reds don’t go native away down there in Puerto Rico. The training trip mapped out is an attractive affair, and a good publicity stunt, but the average ball player doesn’t care a dime for scenery, especially when he isn’t being paid for looking at it. It’s cheaper to buy a Geographic magazine. The Cincy training trip will consist cf two months and two days before player salaries start, and 40 exhibition games wiil be played before the opening of the 154-game National League championship season on April 14. It looks like a large order and a test of durability. The first party will sail cut of New York on Feb. 6. Catcher Ernie Lombardi, Inflelder Alex Kampouris and Outfielder Babe Herman, Californians, will travel 5000 miles before reaching camp. And they’ll be eight days en route before getting down to work. One month is sufficient to get ball players into condition and the Cincy twomonth plan may develop a lot of tired athletes before the official bell rings. The big end of the training will be in Florida, after preliminary workouts and nine exhibition games in Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo. The Reds will have had a month’s work completed before most of the

other major clubs really get started. * MATT WINN, a Kentucky colonel, suh, is the man behind the Kentucky Derby and he hasn’t missed a single one—from Aristides in 1875 to Omaha in 1935. The Irish gent is 74, vigorous, humorous and always ready to “talk horse.” Visitors to the Downs this year will find improvements. Colonel Winn has ordered SIOO,OOO in alterations to accommodate more fans. The big chief’s favorite Derby winners were Exterminator and Twenty Grand. And he hasn’t bet on a horse race in 30 years! u u Sarasota, Fla., has come to bat with a Celery Bowl. A post-season interscholastic grid game was played there recently. A Stone Crab Bowl Would make a bigger hit with tho tourists in that territory, but the crabs don’t show up often enough. * a a CHARLIE RETZLAFF, the North Dakota agrarian, will start a back-to-the-farm movement Saturday. He fights Joe Louis in Chicago tomorrow night. Following the plough even during a dust storm will be peaches compared with trying to stand up and spar with dynamite. u n EXPERT timers were employed to check the recent Kentucky-N. Y. U. basketball game in New York and statistics brought out that the actual time devoted to play in the 40-minute contest was 30 minutes and five seconds. “Squandered time” figured about one out of every four minutes. tt tt tt JIM LONDOS, the grappler and former champ, has not participated in a bout since his crown was lifted by Danno O’Mahoney. But the Greek Adonis is itching to return to action and is reported in fine shape. “Mark me down as a successful comebacker if I meet the Irisher again,” says Jeem. The Greek was put out of commission with injuries when O’Mahoney uncrowned him. Manual All Set to j Battle Tech Rivals Coach Oral Bridgford of Manual sent his squad through an intensive workout in out-of-bounds plays last night. Also, all the plays which will be used in the city tournament were employed in a scrimmage between the varsity and second teams. The Redskins have drawn their old rival, Tech, as their first oppoent. The annual local tourney is scheduled tomorrow and Saturday. CARLISLE IN FINALS OF THIRD DIVISION Times Special MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 16.—Malcolm C.

To prevent such an occurence, Coach Tony Hinkle has been “loading the work” on his Butler cagers in practice drills this week, and finished up yesterday afternoon by realigning his regular old varsity—Batts, Gerkensmeyer, Armstrong, Brafford and Jones. Coach Hinkle had been trying out several sophomores in the lineup. Attracting state-wide attention is the new speaking system that has been installed in the fieldhouse for use during the Bulldog home Tames.

Fred Bedore Sold to Portland Club Indians' Veteran Infielder Is Sent to Beavers. Fred Bedore, veteran third sacker with the Indianapolis Indians, has been sold to the Portland club of the Pacific Coast League. Manager Wade Killefer, who is at his home in California, wired the information to Indianapolis. It was a straight cash transaction, with no other players involved. Bob Fausett, drafted from the Galveston club of the Texas League, is slated to hold down the hot corner for the Tribesters this year. Fausett is described as an airtight fielder and fair hitter. He also possesses a strong throwing arm. Bedore batted .311 for Jndianapolis last season and batted in his share of runs, but the veteran slowed up in the field and was especially erratic in night games.

Sees End of Football if Collegians Are ‘Financed’ Prof. Frank Nicholson Alarmed by Southeastern Conference Plan; Fears Schools With Wealthy Alumni. By United Press MIDDLETOWN, Conn., Jan. 16. —Widespread adoption of the Southeastern Conference policy to pay the legitimate expenses of college athletes, “would mean the end. of football,” Frank W. Nicholson, secretary and treasurer of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, said today.

Nicholson, Wesleyan University professor and officer of the national association for more than 25 years, declared that “public interest would vanish and sports cease, if amateur sport was killed.” He pointed out that extreme competition between colleges having wealthy alumni was a prelude to the end of all football, and “it is apparent that the suggestion of the Southeastern would not work.” There are 13 colleges associated with the Southeastern Conference which, he told a student assembly, voted “to give openly to athletes ‘for their athletic services,’ enough aid through loans, scholarships or work, to meet all their legitimate expenses of attending school. “The reason given for this request was the same given the association 30 years ago by Brown University and others in deciding to allow their athletes to play summer baseball—that every one was doing it anyway and that hypocrisy should be ended. “Officially it is called ‘recruiting’ and ‘subsidizing’ of athletes; actually, it is paying athletes for their services on the athletic fields.” Chuck Woods Gains Nod Over Local Boy Times Special MUNCIE, Ind , Jan. 16.—Chuck Woods, Detroit veteran, edged out Willard Brown, state welterweight champion, in a ten-round fight here last night. Brown, an Indianapolis boy, hit the canvas for a nine count in the second round, but staged a strong rally to make a close fight of it the rest of the way. Both weighed 144. Kenny Manes, 136, Ft. Wayne, outpointed Tommy Merritt, 134, Union City, in a ten-round semiwindup.

Fight Ballyhoo Stresses Retzlaffs Stiff Punch Duluth Scrapper Banking on Early Right-Hand Blow to Stop Louis, Is Report. BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor CHICAGO, Jan. 16.—Joe Louis and Charley Retzlaff are down for “15 rounds or fewer” at the Stadium tomorrow night, and the “fewer” is the only subject of debate. An informal run-down of the cauliflower reporters—a dozen from New York and as many on the local beats —failed to uncover even one who thinks that Retzlaff will have to labor for more than five rounds before going to a shower and a rubdown.

The build-up of the fight has struck two major points. First, that Retzlaff, after years of campaigning, has discovered a left that works. Secondly, that Charles is aiming to come out with only one thought in mind—to rip over a his-tory-making right, within the first 60 seconds. Left Won’t Harm Joe The belatedly discovered portside punch is just one of those things. Charles probably will do no more than touch Louis’ coffee-colored features with that weapon. The one-shot wallop is something else and it constitutes the only real reason why somewhere between SBO,OOO and SIOO,OOO will be laid on the line for tickets. It’s always possible that a puncher could start one that Joseph might not duck under or ward off. And while Louis is a super-boxer and a super-fighter he isn’t a superman in the sense that he could not be stopped. Retzlaff is a slugger, and if the miracle should happen there would be an interesting story to set down. New Club Member But none of these considerations have affected the odds which say three-to-one that Retzlaff joins the Kayoed-by-Louis Club which includes such parties as Maximillian Baer, Primo “Satch” Camera, Platinum-Tusked Paulino Uzcudun, and the impossible Mr. Kingfish Levinsky, and does so within the space of three rounds. Being very frank, one could set down that Retzlaff doesn’t “look too good.” His workouts have been several notches under the inspiring mark. He’s displayed a good bit of earnestness in making use of his left hand, but this has a mechanical appearance rather than a natural one.

Powerful State High School Rivals on Edge for Tilt to Decide ‘Big Ten’ Loop Lead Frankfort, With High-Powered Forwards, Favored Over Newcastle; Ex-Shortridger Going Big at West Point; Cathedral’s Next Foe Boastful. BY PAUL BOXELL WHILE Indianapolis quintets are getting on their marks for the annual city championship chase, two of the state s outstanding high school clubs are tapering off today for a battle to determine the North

Central Conference leadership. Frankfort and Newcastle are the parties concerned, and they are making quite a to-do over their skirmish scheduled for the Hot Dog Hall tomorrow night. Frankfort is unsmeared in Big Ten play, while the Trojans have been tipped once, by Kokomo. Thus, a victory for Newcastle would return the league battle to a raging tie, while Everett Case and lads could all but annihilate the invaders’ first place chances by gaining the verdict. The Casemen are favored by nearly every one but their home town press-scorcher, Chic Yarbrough, who claims the outcome is an out-and-out tossup.

100 Pros to Seek Sacramento Purse Eaton Bangs Out Best Card in Practice. By United Press SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 16. Spotted with many of the nation’s leading professionals, a field of more than 100 golfers prepared today to tee off in the S3OOO Sacramento open golf tournament. A prequalifying round was eliminated when adverse weather conditions reduced the field and the competition will open as originally scheduled tomorrow. Two under par with a 70, Zell Eaton, Oklahoma City pro, turned in the best card in yesterday’s practice rounds. Vic Ghezzi, Deal, N. J., and Paul Runyan, White Plains, N. Y., carded even par. Tilden Turns Back Bell in Windy City By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 16.—Proving he still has the power of his youth, Bill Tilden last night defeated Berkeley Bell, New York, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, in a professional tennis match before 6500 spectators at the International Amphitheater. Ellsworth Vines, Tilden’s chief rival with the fans, defeated Lester Stoefen, Los Angeles, 1-6, 6-4, 6-3. Mrs. Ethel B. Arnold, Pasadena, new professional recruit, upset Jane Sharp, 6-2, 6-4. In a doubles match Vines and Bell beat George Lott and Stoefen, 7-9, 6-3, 6-4.

THE superior regard for Frankfort is caused by the Hot Dogs* smashing 46-18 triumph over Lafayette last week while the Trojans floundered at Kokomo, and the fact that three Casemen are among the 10 leading conference scorers. McCreary and Vaughn, Frankfort forwards, are at the top of the list, while Montgomery, center, is fifth. Coach Strings Allen gave four of his Trojan varsity men a complete vacation the first three days of this week, explaining that they locked “tired” against Kokomo and Rushville over the week-end. tt a “Runnel” Bob Stranahan of Newcastle asks; “Isn’t it about time to get Everett Case declared unconstitutional so someone else can win some ball games?” Ay, Ay, Ay, Bob. A “capitol” idea. George <bud> underwood, who recently was awarded an Army football monogram, is an allround athlete at West Point, just as he was when he graduated from Shortridge in ’3O. He is a varsity forward on the Cadet basketball team and also stars at track. Bud earned seven letters at Shortridge, three in track, two in basketball and two in football. He was an outstanding member of the Blue Devil quintet which battled its way to the state finals tourney only to lose to Washington in the first round. a a Bill Brewer, our Shortridge news snooper, was gossiping with Underwood when the West Pointer was here on vacation recently and Bud passed along an interesting anecdote told him by a student at Amherst. The student also was a Hoosier, it seems, and was one of many who answered the call for Amherst basketball tryouts. At the first session, the coach requested all boys from Indiana to make themselves known. Three stepped forward. “You, you and you,” said thfi coach, 'fwili play on the varsity until further notice!” Smart coach. * a tt Tickets for the state tourney finals, in which four teams will cavort, will be sold for $1.25 each. That is just one-half of what you paid to see 16 teams battle it out last year. ATTENTION, Coach Joe Dienhart of Cathedral. If you’d like to heat up the Irish in your cage pastimers a bit more before their next contest, I suggest you read them a piece from a Jeffersonville newspaper which goes like this: “The Cathedral game is not worrying Coach Frank Barnes to any great extent. Barnes got into the habit of trimming the Irish while at Flora, and is contemplating no great amount of trouble Friday night. Cathedral is rated one of the weakest clubs in the Hoosier Metropolis.” Izzat so? tt St ft Reno may mean the acme of divorce courts to you, but to Southport fans it stands for class on the basketball court . . .
