LOUIS TO EVADE CHAMP, SCRIBE HEARS

Rumor Grows That Negro’s Handlers Fear Title Would Cause Fighter to ‘Go Soft’ Brown Boxer Has No Right to Dodge Braddock, and Will Lose Respect of Nation by Doing It, Williams Declares; Jimmy Sincerely Wants Match. BY JOE WILLIAMS Timet Special Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 29—Possibly all that stirring chatter about young Joe Louis being so anxious to win the world heavyweight championship and invest the position with a racial dignity it lacked during Jack Johnson’s lurid reign was just a lot of hooey done in fashionable sepia tones. At any rate a semi-official announcement has been made that the Brown Bomber will not go against James J. Braddock, the title holder, next September as originally planned. The present program calls for the non-championship match with Max Schmeling in mid-summer to be followed by a sporadic campaign among the pop overs, the easily discouraged and the unabashed tankers.

Behind the altered plans of the young Negro's board of strategy lies a sharp knowledge of the economics involved.

Taxes on excessive earnings are so terrific that it would be just about as profitable to engage in one big fight and let it go at that. It seems to be generally agreed the fight with Schmeling will gross more than a million dollars. But this is not the only motive

Joe Williams

for the rearranged set-up. Louis’ directors concluded recently they don’t want their man to win' the championship too soon. They want to hold it in the offing as an incentive, a mental spur to keep him excited about the business of fighting. Their contract with him runs for four more years and they are guarding against any sudden letdown in cash returns. You can appreciate how desolate Will Gibson must have felt when Gene Tunney, then at his peak and good for at least four or five more years, turned his championship over to Tex Rickard for a stated sum and announced to one and all that he was jolly well fed up with the vulgar racket, and that henceforth he would commune exclusively with the landed gentry of the Connecticut hills. Bad News for Gibson Mr. Oibson had been making a very fine living off Tunney’s fists for a number of years and he was discomposed no end at the unspeakable ingratitude of his fighter. What disturbs the profound meditations of the Louis handlers most is the fear that if permitted to reach his goal too speedily the young Negro may decide he has got all the money and all the glory he needs and start loafing or quit altogether. In view of the fact that 18 months ago 10 smackers was large and important dough to Louis this could easily happen. So, when they start saying Louis does not intend to fight Braddock this year, an examination of the situation explains why—the excessive taxation, the danger of rushing the fighter into the king row too fast and the highly important consideration that his directors hold a long-term contract to his services. A Matter of Principle All of which is very understandable. But how about Braddock? What license has Louis or his directors to try to kid the champion? Louis has been saying all along that his one ambition was to win the championship. He draped himself in holy robes and announced his high resolve to atone for the indiscretions of Johnson, the first Negro to hold the championship. To him this seemed to be a matter of racial redemption and individual crusade. All along the understanding has been that Louis was moving up to the fight with Braddock step by step. No young fighter, white or black, was ever more generously acclaimed by the public than the Detroiter, and certainly no Negro fighter in the history of the sport was ever given a fairer shake in the metropolitan rings. I question, for instance, if any white champion in hi# prime would have been permitted to face such a deplorable setup as the shopworn, beefy Paulino. Louis was not only allowed to officiate at this butchery but was applauded for his seeming

mastery in stopping the battered hulk with a punch. You see Louis had kept growing in the esteem of the public both by reason of his great ability as a fighter and his gentlemanly conduct, and it was worth the time and the price just to see him take a deep breath. I wish to predict, however, that if ho attempts to pass up Braddock for another year this growing esteem will suffer a sudden and severe blight. Though merely the heavyweight charrjpion of the world, Braddock has some minor rights himself, and is entitled to a few casual considerations. It has been the understanding of every fight follower in the country that Louis was to fight Schmeling in June and Braddock in September. It certainly has been Braddock’s understanding and the champion has geared all his plans with that in view. No matter what others say he thinks he can beat Louis, and he’s never attempted to dodge the issue. Mrs. Crews Scores Easy Golf Victory By United Press PUNTA GORDA, Fla., Jau. 29.

A. B. C. Workers Hustle as Entry Deadline Nears Hope to Enlist 1000 Local Teams in Coming Tourney; Construction Activities Resumed.

BY BERNARD HARMON WITH several squadrons working day and night, officials of the Indianapolis A. B. C. Tournament Corp. are striving to reach their quota of 1000 city teams before the deadline for entering the big pin classic falls at midnight Saturday. Nearly 400 teams had been entered yesterday afternoon, and, although an enlistment of 600 additional quintets will be necessary to reach their goal, workers closely connected with the campaign predicted a last-minute rush woula bring unexpected results. More optimistic boosters looked forward to an entry of 1200 aggregations. Work on th£ installation of the heating plant in the State Fairground Coliseum, site of the 1f36 event, is to be resumed today after a standstill of several days owing to* the extremely cold weather. Additional forces are expected to have the plant completed within a short time. Representatives of the Bruns-wick-Balke-Collcnder Cos. are in the city, ready to supervise the laying of the 32 new tournament alleys to be used by the 3000 teams expected to participate in the event. Work on the alley construction is expected to get under way Monday. While the local campaign is in full swing, word comes from the offices of Elmer Baumgarten, A. B. C. secretary, that an all-time record for out-of-town entries is a certainty, with teams from coast to coast scheduled to descend upon the city during the duration of the classic from March 10 to April 13. tt tt tt THE top spot of last night’s pin activities was a 665 series turned in by Charley Stich, rotund pastimer of the St. Philip No. 1 League. He tossed games of 226, 238 and 201 for the Michaelis-McCahill team, which nabbed a pair of victories at the expense of Falls City Hi-Brus. The winners featured a 1012 middle game. The only other brilliant scoring of the evening also came from the East Side loop, Bob Marien getting 658 as his Cook’s Goldblumes handed CocaColas a three-time drubbing. Ed Barnhorst’s 615 featured for the losers. Eddie Gatchell turned in a 616 to pace First Premium Beer in its odd-game decision over Rolles Printing Cos., which had Leo Foley’s 600 as its top series. In the remaining team clash, S & S Service Station won twice from Lieber Brewers. Bariuicst, in the role of pinch hitter, tacked up his second honor series of the two-night schedule as he totaled 605 for the winners. * m TH.S only 600 counts in the Commercial League matches at the Illinois came from P.

Veteran Cub Catcher Gets Highest Pay Hartnett Begins 15th Year by Signing $20,000 Contract, Report. BY WINTKKCr LYMAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 29—Charles Leo Hartnett, described by newspaper men as “that gabby guy” when he first reported for spring training with the Chicago Cubs, back in 1922, will be the highest paid player on the team this year. At least that was the unofficial report today after he had signed his contract for 1936.

Hartnett’s salary was not announced, but it is said to exceed $20,000. He was given a substantial increase because of his work last year when he was paid someth in g li k e SIB,OOO. This will be Gab by’s flft e e nth year with the Cubs and he hopes it will be his best.

He has laid out a difficult task for himself, because in 1935 he hit .344 and was voted the most valuable player in the National League. “The Cubs have been pretty good to me during the time I have been on their pay roll,” he said. “They were especially good to me in 1929 when my arm went dead. I hope to make this year the best I ever had.” Not Holdout, He Says There had been rumors that Hartnett was a holdout because he always had been the first Cub to sign. He was the seventeenth this season, but explained his delay was not caused by dissatisfaction with his salary When Hartnett made his debut with the Cubs at Catalina Island he was just about the most talkative rookie who ever tried out for the major leagues. His unrestrained vigor earned him the nickname “Gabby,” and it has been used ever since. “Gabby” came up from Worcester, Mass., at the age of 21. Injuries to the veteran Cub backstops gave him his chance to win a regular berth although he played in only 31 games in 1922. Cut Loose First Day He has been a regular ever since, except in 1929 when his arm went bad because he fired one of his bullet-like pegs to second base on the first day of training. For almost the entire season it appeared that he was through as a ball player. But in 1930 he came back, caught 141 games and hit .339. Hartnett’s all-time batting average in the majors is nearly .300 although he has exceeded that figure only three times. He has played in more than 1400 major league games and is the oldest Cub in point of service in the present lineup. Gabby was voted the National .League’s most valuable player last year because of his hitting and because of the way he inspired the team’s drive to the league pennant. He is the most popular Cub player among the youngsters who' hang around the ball park and he’s the one whose autograph is most frequently sought by ladies’ day fans. Two More Sign By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 29.—The Chicago Cubs announced today that the signed contracts of Woody English, team captain and utility infielder, and Clay Bryant, young pitcher, had been received. Dodgers Place New Duties on Gorman By United Press BROOKLYN, N. Y., Jan. 29 John M. F. Gorman yesterday was appointed business manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball club. He succeeds Robert Quinn, who recently became president of the Boston Braves. Announcement put an end to many rumors concerning control of the club. One story was that Casey Stengel, manager of the club, was also to be business manager. Another was that Dolly Stark, the umpire holdout, was to get the post. Gorman has been secretary and publicity director of the club. He will retain those positions. Loss of Hitchcock Weakens Polo Four By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 29. —The chances of the American polo team in the national cup matches with England next spring were dimmed today when Tommy Hitchcock Jr., only 10-goal man in the world, announced he would not accept a place on the United States four. Hitchcock said pressure of business would prevent his participation in the matches for the first time since 1934. He is a member of the Wall Street banking Lrm of Lehman Bros. Irish Cagers Face Double Assignment " With their five-game winning streak checked last week by Jeffersonville and Shortridge, the Cathedral High School basketball cagers are girding for two important clashes this week.

Cage Peak Basketball Gains National Recognition; Sectional Ratings Given.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Pr ss Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—Basketball. which at one time seemed destined to remain a sport of consequence only in its own community or conference, has climbed to its highest peak of popularity this season and assumed a genuine national aspect. The Introduction of basketball into the Olympic program opened the way for a national championship tournament, which will determine the squad which will represent the United States at Berlin.

Y. U. N. Y. U.’s great record, however, is dimmed somewhat by the numerous complaints made by visiting coaches against the size of the Garden court, the glass backboards and the interpretation of the screening rule in New York. Among the outstanding teams in each section are: East. New York U., St. John’s (Brooklyn), Long Island U., Temple, Duquesne. Midwest: Purdue, Indiana, Notre Dame, Warrensburg (Mo.) Teachers.

Keith Farnsley, high scorer and individual star of the team, is inactive with an attack of pneumonia which may keep him out of action the remainder of the season.

The Indiana Appellate Court has reversed lower courts in cases involving a playground injury to a schoolboy and payment of mileage on sheriff’s cars used in performance of duty.
