By Eddie Ash ALL SCHEDULES NOW IN PRINT u OLD PALS MIX IN A. L. OPENER

may open wide the windows and let in the summer breeze any day, now. All league baseball schedules of interest to fans in this territory are in print. The American League chart appears today, following publication of the National program yesterday and the American Association ten days ago. The wise fan clips the schedules and saves same for future reference. So don’t alibi in a couple of months and say you never were advised to be smart and grab off the charts as they appeared black on white for the perusal and benefit of the baseball world. The American League calendar is similar to the National, naturally, opening on Tuesday, April 14, two days after the American Association pulls up the curtain on Easter Sunday, April 12. Lid-lifters in the junior major loop are: St. Louis at Chicago, Detroit at Cleveland, New York at Washington and Philadelphia at Boston. There probably will be a grand reunion in Boston owing to the fact most of the Red Sox pastimers are former stars of the Athletics. It offers a whale of, an opportunity from the publicity angle. It may be labeled “Old Pals’ Day.” The season in the American, like in the National, winds up on Sunday, Sept. 27 with the teams paired the same as on opening day. # a a ]

Play is to be suspended in the American League after July 5 until July 9, because of the fourth annual All-Star game to be pla3cd in the Boston Nationals’ park July 7. nun BILL KRUEGER, Chicago bowler (just a neighborhood shooter) rolled a 635 total the other night without a 200 game. He posted the “bowler’s dream ’ in his middle effort. The perfect score of 300 failed to earn him an A. B. C medal, however. His league secretary neglected to have the loop sanctioned. And Kreuger had tried for 33 years to gain the perfect figures! u tt tt BUNNY BRIEF, the former American Association slugger, is returning to baseball as a coach with the Kansas City Blues. He has been away from the game several years. The Blues will open the season in Indianapolis and old Dutch Zwilling, manager, will occupy the coaching line opposite Brief’s station. They are a couple of reminders of old Washington Park. u u u The Boston Braves changed their name and shortened it to the Bees. Hasty editors will do even better in the headlines by writing it Boston B’s, similar to the way the name Athletics was reduced to A’s. a tt a PURDUE sports teams seem to be making a habit of stopping Chicago’s offensive aces. Last fall the Boilermaker football eleven held Jay Berwanger, the Maroons’ brilliant All-America half back, to less than 20 yards gain from scrimmage, while Bill Haarlow, Chicago’s ace hardwood scorer, has been limited to a single field goal in each of the two net tilts with Purdue this season. Coach Ward Lambert’s cage combination might better he called an octette than a quintet. Three forwards, Capt. Kessler, Jewell Young and Johnny Sines; two centers, Ed Elliott and Jim Seward, and three guards, Red Lambert, Pat Malaska and Glen Downey, have been sharing an almost equal part of the Boilermaker burden. Rangy Pastimers With Firestones Tall Rubber Five to Play Kautskys Sunday. In a battle for first place, the Akron Firestone pro basketball team which has handed the Kautsky A. C. cagers two of their three loop losses this year, will play the local club at the Armory Sunday afternoon at 3. Presenting the rangiest team in the circuit and Billy Reeves, former Central Normal luminary, the Rubbermen are barking a few percentage points behind the Kautsky quintet for leadership of the Midwest Conference. The Firestones have won 8 of 12 games, the locals 7 of 10. Towering over the rest of the squad will be Milas (Slim) Shoun. former member of the Carson-New-man College and the Fort Wayne and Chicago teams of the American pro league. Shoun measures 6 feet 11 inches. Ed Garner, erstwhile University of Micndg&n player, stands 6 feet 6 inches. Two other lanky performers are Beanie Kerens, all-Buckeye Conference center from Ohio University, and Jack Shaffer, Nebraska University and Olson Swedes netter.

Leo Numa to Face Champ Armory Favorite Chosen to Tackle O’Mahoney in Title Tug. Leo Numa, 218, stalwart mat ace from Seattle, was chosen today by Matchmaker Lloyd Carter to meet Danno O’Mahoney, 212, world’s heavyweight champion, on the Hercules A. C. grappling card next Tuesday night at the Armory. The bout, which calls for two falls out of three with a 90-minute time

limit, has been sanctioned as a title affair by Sam Murbarger, chief inspector for the State Athletic Commission. Although Irish Pat O’Shocker was in the running for a tug with Champion Danno, the “big chance” was given to Numa

¥ /•:

O’Mahoney

because of his numerous outstanding performances here during the indoor season. Leo also is a big favorite with local and state wrestling fans. Numa, a former University of Washington grid idol and baseball star, has demonstrated to Armory patrons that he is a front liner in heavyweight grappling circles. He has tossed every mat performer he has met here, turning in several rapid-fire victories. Carter reports that Numa was a “find” of the late Charles Hansen, one of the best matmen of his time. After finishing at U. of W. in 1930, Leo trained under Hansen’s instructions for a year before engaging in a bout, Leo played football at U. of W. under the late Enoch Bagshaw and also under Jimmy Phelan, when the latter left Purdue to go to the Pacific Coast school.

BROOKLYN BUILDS STRONG MOUND STAFF

102 Ring Hopefuls Left on Times-Legion Golden Gloves List; Third Fest Tomorrow Action to Be Seen at Armory in Both Open and Novice Classes of Amateur Fistic Carnival; Capacity Crowd Indicated by Ticket Sales. When the decks are cletred for action in the third canto of The Times-Legion Golden Gloves elimination tourney at the Armory tomorrow night the champions of 1935 and the challengers who hope to knock them out of a return trip to the Chicago finals will hold the spotlight.

All Open Class divisions and most of the Novice Class branches will be reduced to the final round in tomorrow night’s fistic program which calls for nearly 40 battles. The original entry list of 223 has been cut to 102 by eliminations and withdrawals. Scrappers from 11 towns in addition to the Indianapolis and Fort Harrison fighters still survive. Six fighters from Indiana Boys’ School at Plainfield, including Joe Johnson, Ralph Strange and Gay Sarber, who have established themselves as strong contenders, head the out-of-town entry list. . Elwood Puncher Still In Marshal Allison, Novice runnerup and outstanding threat of Norval Binringer in the Open lightweight division, returns from Shelbyville and probably will be in action tomorrow night. Michael Sorba, terrific puncher from Elwood, who annexed his first fight, has a hard row to hoe in the Novice welterweight group. Plenty of two-fisted action Is expected when the seasoned battlers of the Open Class mix things for the opportunity of fighting in the titular matches one week from tomorrow night All weight divisions of that class, with the exception of the welter, have advanced to the semi-final round. Heavy Champ Menaced Jack Coffelt, husky Fort Harrison mauler who represented The Indianapolis Times-Legion Golden Gloves heavyweights in Chicago last year, will find tough competition barring his path. Marshal Kealing, the champion in 1934, and Russ Bennett, 215-pound Negro from Richmond, who lost a close battle to Coffelt last year, are in the semi-finals. Frank DeVault of Shelbyville is the fourth fighter. Another spirited scramble looms in the Open middleweight. Delbert Hutton of Anderson, who wears the 1935 crown, has been challenged by Johnny Denson, last yeai'.' welterweight king, who has moved up a notch. Johnny Chesunas, rugged Fort Harrison veteran of more than 200 amateur ring battles, lost to Hutton last year after topping the ranks in 1933 and 1934. The other semi-finalist is Sammie Bible, who has attracted more attention than the favorites. 67 in Novice Class While the seasoned flsticuffers are anxiously awaiting the pairings, approximately 67 Novice Class fighters are ready for the next stepping stone. Most of these will have to fight more than one battle to reach tlu finals, as only the heavyweight and bantamweight brackets have simmered down to the semifinals. The aggressive beginners have stolen the show in many of the bouts, and a capacity crowd is expected to see them vie with the more experienced battlers for the spotlight. Advance ticket sales indicate that few pasteboards will be available tomorrow night. The first bout is to start promptly at 7:30. LOCAL SCRAPPER WINS Tracy Cox Gains Ten-Round Decision Over Bagnatto. Times Speciai MUNCIE, Ind., Feb. 6. Tracy Cox, Indianapolis junior welterweight, clouted his way to a desion over Matty Bagnatto, veteran New Yorker, here last night in the 10-round main event of the Muncie A. C. fight card. Cox forced the attack all the way.

Butler Takes Track Honors Locals Beat Purdue in All but 3 Events; Holmes Outstanding. BY HARRISON MILLER Losing only the two middle-dis-tance races and the relay, Butler University’s track team, with balanced strength in all departments, defeated Purdue University, -52 to 34, at the local fieldhouse last night. Larry Holmes, Robinson (111.) speedster, was the only double winner of the evening, taking high point honors for the Bulldogs. Holmes won his specialty, the 50yard high hurdle event, in 6.7 seconds and then bested his teammate, Frank Kline, in the 50-yard dash in 5.5 seconds. Cross-country has developed some Butler distance stars who, in mass points, will counteract the loss of Ray Sears, record-breaking ace of the last three years. Milton Winer, sophomore, surprised Winston Griffin, Bulldog harrier, taking the mile in 4:31.8. Harlan Tyner also defeated Butler’s crosscountry captain and track veteran with a burst of speed in the twomile, finishing in 10:20.4. Captain Robert Welch won the high jump with a leap of six feet, Inman Blackaby tossed the shot 39 feet 7 inches, and Wally Stout vaulted 10 feet 9 inches for other Butler victories. McGannon, Boilermaker sophomore grid half back, captured second in the pole vault and looks like a good prospect in that event. Glendenning nosed out Pruyn of Butler in the 880-yard run in 2:08 and Blumel covered the 440-yard route in 54 seconds for Purdue’s only individual victories. The Boilermaker ombination of Bluemel, Soles, Lemon and Glendenning easily won the mile relay in 3:34.8. Local ‘F Coach Is Named A. A. U . Chief Walter (Buster) Keaton, wrestling coach at the local Y. M. C. A., has been informed of his appoint-m-T.t as wrestling commissioner for the Indiana-Kentucky District of the A. A. U. He will have charge of A. A. U. wrestling and the scheduling of tournaments in this district. Keaton already has started negotiations for the annual IndianaKentucky meet to be held here about April 1. He will work with Coach W. H. Thom of Indiana University, who also is one of the U. S. Olympic mat team coaches. All A. A. U. meats under Keaton’s direction will be considered as preliminaries for the Olympic tryouts. RAMSEY UPSETS CUE LEADER; SETS RECORD Registering anew best-game record for the state three-cushion billiard tournament at Harry Cooler’s parlor last night, Walt Ramsey handed Harry Rubens his first tournament defeat in seven starts, running out a 50-to-36 victory in 61 innings. A high run of five featured Ramsey’s performance, besting his own previous record of 65 frames. Clayton McGregor of Terre Haute is to play Lou Spivey, defending champion, tonight.

Billiards” program. The Oriental mite, ranked as one of the world’s 10 best, is to give free instructions on fundamentals and offer an exhibition of all styles of billiards, executing his repertoire of fancy shots against local talent. The diminutive Japanese star is no stranger to billiard fans in this country. Since his return to America seven years ago, he has been appearing in tournaments and exhibitions continuously. In 1934, he annexed his first major American crown by winning the national three-cushion title in a round robin tourney at Philadelphia. Matsuyama, along with Willie Hoppe and Welker Cochran, is a balkline star as well as three-rail expert. The Japanese title-holder competed in the 18.2 balkline championship in Chicago in 1934, finishing fourth.

Dodgers Get Frankhouse in 2-for-l Deal Give Babich and Moore to Boston for Promising Pitcher. By Untied Press NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—The Brooklyn Dodgers made ahother 2-for-l trade with the Boston Bees today, exchanging Pitcner Johnny Babich and outfielder Gene Moore for Pitcher Fred Frankhouse. It was a straight player deal, no cash involved, Business Manager John Gorman announced. You won’t know the old Daffiness

Boys of Ebbets Field next sum- 1 mer if Brooklyn continues active in the baseball marts. Only 13 members of last year’s cast now remain. The squad of 35 has 22 new faces. Other deals are on the fire and the Dodgers expect to complete at least one of them before the season opens April 14.

Frankhouse

Brooklyn now has its best pitching staff in years, assuming that Brandt and Frankhouse pitch anywhere near their 1934 form. In 1934 Brandt won 16 games and lost 14 and Frankhouse won 17 and lost 9. Last season Brandt won 5 and lost 19 and Frankhouse won 11 and lost 15. They went sour with the rest of the Boston Club last season, including Babe Ruth and Judge Fuchs. The fact that the Cubs, Cards and Giants nibbled at both Brandt and Frankhouse indicates that they have plenty of useful service left in them. Three Southpaws To go with Brandt and Frankhouse, the Dodgers have Van Mungo, one of the league's classiest hurlers, Bill Clark, Tom Zachary, and George Earnshaw, The lefthanded lineup of Brandt, Clark and Zachary gives Brooklyn perhaps the league’s best southpaw brigade. The Dodgers also have a pair of likely looking rookies in Wayne Osborne, who won 17 and lost 11 with the Missions in the Coast League, and Ai Butcher, who won 24 and lost 11 for the Galveston Texas League club. As for the Dodgers’ future deals, they are seeking Johnny Mize, rookie first baseman, from the Cardinals, and Catcher Harry Danning from the Giants.
