By Eddie Ash SOUTHLAND DOTES ON SLOGANS m m m ASK THE HOOSIERS, THEY KNOW

ACCORDING to big league gossip the Cleveland Americans are going to take over an old Indianapolis spring training camp in 1037. It is at Sanford, Fla., in the celery belt. Which means the Cleveland pastimers will be begged to eat more celery. Cleveland has been training in New Orleans for many years, where the slogan is, “Eat More Oysters.” The Indianapolis Indians spent one spring in another “slogan” town in Louisiana, at Crowley, where it was “Eat More Rice.” Asa matter of fact the Hoosiers have lived In their share of Eatmorevilles in the Southland, such as Eat More Strawberries, Eat More Sea Food and Eat More Chitlings, suh. In the town where you were urged to stuff up on strawberries it so happened that the live wire there was known as the Cucumber King. However, the Tribesters had one experience that was a reverse. The year they were in Hot Springs the slogan was East Less and Drink More Water. And thinking hack, it. seems the ball players of that year. 1926. got the best of it in the food feedbag league. They really went to town crowding the platfc in Vapor Valley and it was one of the most stylish trips in the history of the ciub—lo years ago.

SIX St. Louis Cardinal rookies will report at training camp this spring with an average of 44 stolen bases each, recorded last season. Lyle Judy, with 107, leads the pack, followed by Lynn King, 55; Ed Morgan, 30; Stu Martin, 27; Lou Scofflc, 23, and Pat Ankenman, 21. Who said automobiles were taking the “run" out of the kids of today? a a a And one of the greatest track men ever developed in the history of Amherst College is enrolled there now. He Is Boh Stewart, who has yet to meet defeat in the middle distances! He won the 220, 440 and 880 events in a dual meet with rival Bowdoin last spring. an START the presses. Here’s a flash. Owner Tom Yawkey has signed a ball player who didn't cost him a cent. He’s Joe Prizina. 19, rookie Red Sox pitcher, who was gathered into the Boston fold right, after he was graduated from high school. Connie Mack finally was caught asleep. tt tt tt Billy Treest, Chicago battler who defeated Hank Bath, protege of Jack Kearns, will be ready for Brown Bomber Joe Louis as soon as he can put on 20 pounds, his handlers say. They fatten ’em and dress ’em up to make the meal more appetizing for Joe. tt ft tt THE Brooklyn Dodgers have 11 outfielders on their roster. But that army of fly chasers doesn’t mean a whole lot. Only three may play at a time. In the meantime Indianapolis is standing by in a receptive mood. The Hoosiers are short in the pasture department and Brooklyn “owes" for Vin Sherlock and Johnny Cooney, taken up from the locals last fall. Bob FAUSETT. new Indianapolis third sac leer, has quit his job on the docks at Galveston. Tex. Hp said the heavy labor was cutting off too much weight. He shall now endeavor to sell autos before reporting to Red Killefer’s Redskins. The Trite chief is due in Indianapolis Feb. 20. tt a u A baseball-writer minstrel told as how Manager Rogers Hornsby of the Browns had thrown Pitcher Dick Coffman off a train last summer and how Manager Bill Terry of the Giants had picked him up “What are the Giants using for scouts nowadays, track walkers? countered the stooge.

Ambers Advances in Drive for Title Hands Out Sound Beating to Mexican. Hu ffnifrd Press NEW YORK, Feb. B.—Lou Ambers. Herkimer <N. Y.) boy. relegated to the pugilistic scrapheap last summer with a broken jaw, was well on his way to winning another shot at Tony Canzoneri’s lightweight title today. Ambers soundly whipped Baby Arizmendi. bull-shouldered little Mexican, in a 10-round bout in Madison Square Garden last night for his sixth straight triumph since he returned to the ring.

The Mexican won only two rounds, and had an even break in another. Ambers cut him under one eye, over the other, on the lip and reopened an old wound across the nose. After a fast start.

Inspiration of Deaf B B tt tt tt tt There’s Lesson to Be Gained by Normal Sports Goers When ‘Silents’ Play Basketball.

.. .Then the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped ... and the tongues of the dumb shall sing . . . they shall obtain gladness and joy and sorrow, and sighing shall flee into the night. ... BY PAITITbOXELL WHEN Isaiah wrote his book of prophecies he could not possibly have visualized civilization as it is today, yet in those words written, long ago he expresses the very thoughts of an onlooker watching the modern Silent Hoosiers at play.

“Silent Hoosiers” are the young men who participate on athletic teams of the Indiana State School for the Deaf. “Courageous’’ Hoosiers would be more appropriate. Any person blessed with all the faculties of physical wholeness, who allows himself to grow despondent over minor troubles of health or fortune, might well attend a basketball game at the State Deaf School to absorb an inspirational lesson in the beautiful art of laughing in the face of unkind fate. When a body sees the attitude taken by these boys and girls as mirrored by them in thpir basketball gym, he curses himself for the very selfishness of his petty every-day complaints. a a a ON entering the gymnasium in the main building, just north of the state fairground, you are. of course, impressed by the unfamiliar silence. Only a low, toneless buzz comes from the section of backers for the visiting team. You look across the gym at the bleachers packed solidly with students of the school. Tired, discouraged, bitter, uncomprehending faces? Hardly. Smiles—beaming smiles, reticent smiles, coy smiles, masterful smiles, eyes eager for the appearance of the team, and everywhere hands are talking—talking rapidly and gustily about—well, what does Hoosier youth talk about at basketball games? The section is overwhelming feminine. Someone explains that the high school enrollment is 70, of which 40 are girls, which leaves few boy rooters when you subtract the 15 who play on the teams. The enrollment of the school proper is 340. The Silent Hoosier varsity appears, 10 husky, clean-cut young men. A burst of applause breaks from the far bleachers, that is all. The opposing team shows—more applause, courteous, which mingles this time with a dash of startling cheers from the visiting spectators. nan PLAY begins. The Silent Hoosiers handle the ball smoothly. They use a fast break. Not a sound escapes from their lips. The visiting players, strangely affected, are somber and restrain their voices to near silence. But they play good ball and soon have the home boys on the run. The Silent Hoosiers call time out. Cary Ayres, their handsome captain, calls them together and gestures furiously with his hands. They watch him intently, nodding their heads. Meanwhile, there is a commotion in the Silents’ student section. A girl, all smiles, is being pushed out on the floor. She turns and waves her arms in a signal. The students are tense, then from the throats of those among them who, though deaf, have vocal power, comes the distinct cry: “Fight! Fight! Oh-h-h—Fight!” Jubilant applause follows. You get a strange feeling in your throat and your heart goes out to these youngsters who throw cheers into the face of mocking irony—cheers never heard by the heroes they are intended for. nor even by the humans who form them! The referees encounter less difficulty than do the arbiters in other games. Some of the Silent players can hear the especially shrill whistles used, the others know that action has been stopped when they see others on the floor relax. The referee never has to illustrate the reason play has been stopped, they sense it. mam THE game continues, and the Silent Hoosiers are beaten by three points. Their coach. Jacob Caskey, for whom all players show complete admiration, pats them on the back, and tells the observer they have not played their usual game. They defeated one of the strongest smaller teams in the state the night before, and are tired, he says. The student section on the far side breaks up. Few hands are talKing now; just quiet sighs and longing glances at the scoreboard. They drift away in small groups. The gym is quite still. But it is not I strange now, it seems natural. When you reach the outside, the city crashes about you noisy and boisi terous, and through your head runs: I ...Then the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped . . , and the tongues of the dumb shall stag . . . they shall obtain gladness and joy and sorrow, and sighing shall flee into the night ...

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1936

when the final stanza of the tournament is staged at the Armory to decide the ultimate kings of 16 divisions. Delbert Hutton, Anderson, defending open class middleweight champion, will oppose Johnnie Denson, Oliver-WPA fighter who moved into that division after winning the welterweight crown last year. Hutton moved into the titular round by deposing an arch rival, Johnnie Chesunas, Fort. Harrison scrapper who won the title in 1933 and 1934. The veteran soldier who announced he would retire after this year put up a game attempt to win one more trip to the Windy City, but lost a close decision when Hutton finished strong. Denson drew a bye into the championship round. Big Elza Halts Champ Big Elza Thompson, mammoth Washington A. C. Negro whose first appearance in a squared circle was last week, shifted to the Open Class last night, to upset two topnotchers of the heavyweight race and plod his way to the finals. The 215pound mauler out-slugged and outpushed a veteran and more formidable foe to take the decision from Russ Bennett, Richmond, Miller A. C. Negro. Bennett was defeated last year by the final winner, Jack Coffelt, and had much experience in the ring. Coffelt, Fort Harrison, defending champion, also was pushed out of the picture by Thompson. Big Elza, who takes his new sport seriously tried to make victory complete with a knockout, but each time he measured his opponent, for the kill, the target moved into a clinch. Marshal Kealing, Colonial A. C. veteran, earned a crack at Thompson by kayoing Frank DeVault, Shelbyville, in one minute and four seconds. A two-fisted sharpshooter wended his way to the open welter finals with two victories. Harry Brown, Wallace-Monaghan A. C. scrapper, who knocked out Dave Williams, Bess A. C. flash, last week, scored two decisive victories last night. Winner of the middleweight crown at Vincennes in 1934, Brown was too tough for Ken Kastetter, unattached, and scored a technical knockout in one minute and 40 seconds. In the final bout of the evening he floored Will.am Campbell, Negro, Senate Avenue A. C., for the count at the start of the second round. In one of the classiest battles of the evening, Norval Binninger, Oliver-WPA, slashed out a clean, narrow edge over Jimmie Krukemeier, Shelbyville, who displayed a left hand with lots of whip and snap and right-handed crosses to (Turn to Page Five)

Noblesville Spurts in Final Period to Hand Locals Fifth Loss in Row. Noblesville High School's basketball team came from behind in the fourth quarter to defeat the faltering Continentals 31 to 23 at the local Washington goalhouse last night.

In the final stanza, the visitors, with Stevenson shining, opened up with a fast passing attack to smother the local five.

Havens led the Lebanonites with six points, while Bud Mueller tallied six baskets for the Blue Devils. Jack Clayton, newest addition to the Shortridge varsity, flashed rare form and hit two baskets in the closing minutes of play. French and Honan sent Lebanon into a four-point lead in the first two minutes of play. McDaniel. Mueller and Dawson put Shortridge in the lead with two-pointers. Led by Mueller, forward, who connected four times, the Blue and White outscored the local pastimers, 14 to 2, in the second period.

Champs March Along Manual's city champions were riding high today with a record of three victories in four starts since capturing the local title in the annual high school tournament. Decatur Central, last year’s county ruler, bowed to the Redsekins at the South Side gym last night, 28 to 26. After gaining the lead, 11 to 9. in the first quarter, the Redskins held their edge in the second, which ended 15 to 14, but lost it twice in the third before regaining it to lead at the end of the third period, 25 to 20. Gallamore, Manual forward, sank the first basket and his teammate, Wenning, followed closely with a foul shot to give the locals a 3-to-0 edge. Lugar looped in two field goals for Decatur Central, but Hiatt of Manual matched him with a couple of his own. Markers in the second period consisted mainly of free throws, and Riddle opened the third with two charity tosses for Decatur, but after that it was a matter of long field shots and plenty of them.
