By Eddie Ash NEW BASEBALL PREXIES ACTIVE a b tt LEAGUE LEADERS ARE HUSTLERS

pORD FRICK, new president of the National League, and George Trautman, the new chief of the American Association, are doing a good job of earning their money. They have introduced “work” into their position and have not closed shop during the winter. Ordinarily, in the past, the president of a baseball league looked upon the off-season as a vacation to be spent doing nothing. Will Harridge, leader of the American League forces, is of the quiet type, but keeps his eyes open and leaves it to Ilenry Edwards, the veteran sports writer, to see that the junior major loop gets its share of headlines. And Edwards responds by wrecking typewriters turning out copy. Frirk and Trautman made it a point this winter to keep in touch with all baseball writers in their circuits and left no news items dormant In office desks. Frick's latest move is to start on a tour of National League training carnps, from California to Florida, where he plans to wind up his journey by throwing a party for club owners and scribes in Tampa. Tire Cincy Reds, training in Puerto Rico, were first to jump off and the champion Chicago Cubs will be the second. The Bruins are to leave from the Windy City tomorrow night and head for Catalina Island. Chuck Klein, Cub outfielder, and Johnny Corriden, coach, both of Indianapolis, are parked up and ready to say farewell to the hometown for another seven months or more. "We'll be seeing you after the next World Series.” they told friends over the week-end. a a an a u MANAGER RED KILLEFER of the Indianapolis club is due here _ Thursday to take charge of the local situation. And it’s no soft situation. Ho is "out" n second sacker and a couple of fly chasers and must do a lot of scheming to fill the holes. He thinks he has a chance to snare a seasoned keystone man by purchase or trade, but may have to wait on help from Brooklyn to complete his outfield.

n it a PRO basketball teams are trying something new in Brooklyn by playing on a stage in a movie house following the night's last showing of the feature picture. This is an old arrangement revived under anew guise. The boxers and w'restlers used to double up with a burlesque show and perform after the hip heavers finished out their song and dance. a tt a Notre Dame’s New York alumni, both real and synthetic, tore loose with gusto when the Irish knocked off the Violets on the Madison Square Garden court. The game Was featured as the “Abie's Irish Rose of Basketball.” Most of the N. Y. U. players are Jewish. tt tt tt The Irish practiced 25 minutes before game time and the spectators with money riding on N. Y. U. worked up a lather. And then settled back and suffered as the South Benders took the Violets for a hard ride. It is believed that close to SIOO,OOO was bet on the game. tt tt a PRIZE fight rumors say there is a split-up in the offing in the .Toe Louis camp. It is said old Jack Blackburn, formerly of Indianapolis, is threatening to quit his post 8K trainer and instructor. Fistic experts say Jack’s teaching “made” the Brown Bomber. According to the “hearsay” Blackburn pulled stakes when Louis' managers refused to permit Joe to fight in Philadelphia for Promoter 800 800 Hoff, an old friend of Indianapolis Jack. tt tt tt Don't be surprised if Blackburn is hired as trainer for Buddy Baer or John Henry Lewis. John Henry is the Negro light-heavy champion. If Lewis defeats Jock McAvoy of England in a title mateh he'll be pushed for a shot at Joe Louis. Like Joe, John Henry now has a “board of managers.” tt tt tt JOHNNY COONEY, up from Indianapolis, is a ‘'mild” holdout with the Brooklyn Dodgers. He's on the unsigned list along with seven others. “Dissatisfied with terms” was his answer to the club. Vincent Sherlock, another Indianapolis pastimer on the Flatbush roster, has signed. u u tt Catcher Hank Erickson of the Cincy Reds is practicing batting lefthanded down .n the Reds’ training camp at San Juan. Indianapolis fans recall Hank as Louisville's star receiver. He is a righthanded batter, but lost the ends of two fingers on his left hand in an auto accident last fall. He believes he can obtain a better grip on the bludgeon by changing to the other side of the plate

Pitt Quintet Edges Out Locals in League Fracas Y. M. H. A. Advances in Pro Conference Race With 30-26 Triumph Over U. S. Tires Here. The Pittsburgh Y. M. H. A. basketball team pressed closer to the championship playoff of the Mid-west Conference by defeating the U. S. Tires, 30 to 26, in a professional hardwood contest at the Armory yesterday afternoon.

The Tires cut the lead to 20 to 16 midway of the second half and the teams matched, points the rest of the contest. Claire Cribb, au-America center from Pittsburgh University, led the attack of the invaders before leaving the game on personal fouls. Moore was high point man for the winners. Demmary and Shipp were the only Rubbermen to connect more than once from the field, but Edwards convened on five free throws and added a field goal for scoring honors.

Purdue Alone Atop Big Ten Net Standings Boilermakers Boast 8 Loop Victories; Indiana Loses, Tackles Michigan. BY WINTHROP LYMAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Feb. 17.—Undefeated in eight games, victorious over all its opponents at least once and superior offensively to every team in the league, Purdue University thoroughly dominated the Big Ten basketball race today. Until last week, Purdue had been forced to share honors witti Indiana. But Ohio State solved that problem, at least temporarily, by defeating the Hoosiers at Columbus, 43 to 34. It was the first loss in eight starts for Indiana and it came while Purdue was trouncing Northwestern, 31 to 27, at Lafayette. The Boilermakers have the best offensive record in the conference, averaging 42 points a game, and are second only to Illinois defensively. Purdue’s opponents have averaged 26 \'i points per game while Illini foes have averaged only 23. In addition,, Purdue seems destined to produce the leading individual scorer in Capt. Bob Kessler, the jumpingjack forward. Kessler has rolled up 100 points in eight games, two less than Bill Haarlow of Chicago, who has played in one more contest. Great Rally, but Futile Northwestern put on one of the gamest rallies ever seen in Lafayette in the final half of the game Saturday night, but fell short of victory. With four minutes left to play the Wildcats were trailing, 25 to 15. With four seconds left to play they were behind, 28 to 27. Kessler sewed it up then with a sleeper as the gun went off. Indiana was unfortunate enough to run into Ohio State when the Buckeyes were hot. The Ohioans held Ken Gunning, the Hoosiers’ sharpshooting forward, to one field goal. Warren Whitlinger, Buckeye captain, made six baskets and four free throws. Northwestern will get another crack at Purdue next Saturday and the Wildcats will have the advantage of their home floor. They seem to be the only hope to upset the leader. Three Games Tonight Tonight's games will send Michi-* gan against Indiana at Bloomington; Wisconsin against lowa at lowa City and Illinois against Northwestern at Evanston. The WolverineI. U. contest at Bloomington tonight will start at 7:30. Michigan hopes to be the second team to defeat Indiana. The Wolverines have been idle for nearly three weeks but showed they are back in form by defeating Michigan State, 41 to 23, Saturday. One of the three defeats Michigan has suffered in the conference race was administered by the Hoosiers early in the season, 33 to 27. Illinois, co-champions with Purdue and Wisconsin last year, moved from fifth place to a tie with Michigan for third by defeating Wisconsin Saturday night, 36 to 20, at Champaign. The Badgers made only 7 points during the first half and at no time were they able io solve the Illini defense. The defeat dropped Wisconsin to seventh in the standings. Chicago Down Again lowa moved up from ninth to eighth place by handing Chicago its ninth straight defeat. The score was 33 to 20. Every team except Minnesota will play Saturday night. Wisconsin will play at Indiana; North Central at Chicago; Michigan at lowa, and Minnesota at Illinois, in addition to the previously mentioned PurdueNorthwestern tilt.

Mack Likely to Succeed Late Owner of Ath le tics Veteran Manager Owns Controlling Interest in Club: Thomas Shibe Passes at Age of 70. By U tilled Prces PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 17.—Baseball circles speculated today on who will succeed Thomas S. Shibe. as ruler of the Philadelphia Athletics. He died last night of complicated ailments. The veteran organizer and technical expert in the sporting equipment business was 70 years old.

The choice of a successor w T as balanced between two persons prominently identified with the meteoric rise and fall of the oncepowerful A’s. They were Connie Mack, 73-year-old manager and guiding genius, and John B. Shibe, brother of the late president and vice president of the organization. Mack was the more likely choice, especially since he is reported to own a controlling interest in the club. He is at present wintering at Mt, Plymouth, Fla., and was with his friend Shibe when the latter was stricken several weeks ago. Ailing for 10 Yeats Shibe was returned to Philadelphia Feb. 2, and placed under the care of his physician, Dr. John F. Fralinger, but sank steadily. At St. Agnes Hospital, where he was taken three days later, physicians diagnosed the immediate cause of death as thrombosis. The Athletics’ president, who was likewise a partner in the baseball manufacturing firm of A. J. Reach, Wright and Ditson, Inc., had been ailing for 10 years. In December he was afflicted with an unduly severe cold which aggravated his general condition and is believed to have hastened his death. Shibe was born in Philadelphia Jan. 13, 1866. He played amateur baseball until he was 25 and often donned the Athletics uniform in later years to work out with his men during training. President Since 1922 With characteristic foresight toward the financial potentialities of baseball, he joined with his father, Benjamin F. Shibe, and Mack, in buying the franchise of the club. He w f as made vice president, while Mack was given free reign as manager. Upon his father's death in 1922, he became president and his brother vice president. A member of numerous fraternal societies and clubs, he was widely known in social as well as sporting spheres. He is survived by his widow, his brother, John, and two sisters. Mrs. George Reach and Mrs. Alfreda MacFarland.

Swim Record Broken by Michigan Tankman Here Jack Kasley Lowers World Backstroke Mark During Meet With I. A. C. Team. The Indianapolis Athletic Club record book contained another world swimming mark today. Jack Kasley. star University of Michigan natator, wrote anew standard for the 100-yard breast stroke into the books when he swam the distance in 1:02.7, lowering the accepted world's record by two seconds. ,

The Michigan ace set the mark during a dual meet between Wolverine natators and I. A. C. tankmen Saturday night. A junior. Kasley, represented the United States at Japan last year. Three local marks aiso were bettered by the visitors. Frank Bernard clipped two tenths of a second from the record in the 220-yard free style, Harry Rieke lowered the 150-yard mark to 1:41, and the

The number of entries will determine the feasability of staging sub-district tournaments in each of the four states to cut the list of teams completing in the finals at the Butler fieldhouse. The date has not bean set for Ihe finals in this section, but the subdictrict, district and inter-district tournaments must be finished by March 28 to determine the five college squads to compete at Madison Square Garden in New York April 3, 4 and 5 or 6.

Coming in fast, the Maroon ace leaps into the air, rhyhmically pushes the ball, and watches it bound off the backboard, with plenty of backspin into the net.

Supporting Bouts for Cox Tilt to Involve Heavies Packy Gardner to Return in Semi-Windup. Two of the supporting bouts for The Tracy Cox-Laddie Tonielli main event scheduled for the Hercules A. C. fight program at the Armory Friday night are to involve heavyweights, Matchmaker Arol Atherton announced today. Packy Gardner. North Side heavy, is returning to the ring after an absence of three years. Packy, who is 22 years old, retired with a record of 22 knockouts in 24 bouts, according to Atherton, who is searching for a suitable opponent. The bout will serve as an eight-round semiwindup. A six-rounder is to bring together Gene Junkin of Shelbyville and Tubby Stafford of Indianapolis. They weigh in around 190 pounds. Willard Luzzo, Tonielli’s manager, sends word that Laddie is in top shape and will arrive Thursday to taper off at the Colonial A. C. gym. Cox and Tonielli, an Italian youth from Chjcago, are welterweights. DUROCHER TO COACH NAVY BASEBALL TEAM Timm Special ST. LOUIS. Feb. 17.—The Annapolis baseball team is to receive instructions on baseball as it is played in the major leagues from Leo Durocher. St. Louis Cardinal captain and shortstop. The naval academyasked Branch Rickey, vice president of the Cardinals, for an advisory coach, and Durocher was selected to report at Annapolis next Sunday to give a week’s instructions.

Michigan relay team defeated I. A. C. in 1:38.914. The I. A. C. water polo team defeated the Wolverine sextet, 5 to ?, with Joe Swallow scoring throe goals. The Indianapolis Alumni Club of the University of Michigan entertained the visiting paadlers with a supper following the meet. Judge Herbert Wilson introduced Mat Mann, Wolverine swimming coach, and Dick Paponguth, I. A. C. mentor.

At present, Butler, Ball State, Indiana State, Notre Dame and Central Normal of the Hoosier state have entered. Purdue and Indiana are exacted to join as soon as the Western Conference indorses the post-season meet. The same is the case of Ohio State, Northwestern and Illinois. The University of Michigan will not be a contender. Detroit University is the only entrant from the Wolverine state. Ohio University, Western Reserve and Cmcinna' early Buckeye

Happy ‘Grind’ Begins for Chicago-Bound Champs

BY PAUL BOXELL Eight stalwart, young ringsters who fight for the fun of it returned to their gyms to begin anew and more ambitious period of conditioning today. They are the Indianapolis Times-Legion Golden Gloves champions who have earned a chance to compete in the great midwestern Golden Gloves tourney in Chicago next week.

The Midway mitt merry-go-round is to be held over a three-night stretch beginning next Monday night, Feb. 24. Champions from so many Midwest centers will be out for the supreme laurels that it will be necessary to keep three rings going full blast throughout the progress of the tournament. The field that turned out for battle in the open division of the local meet this year was the best ever from the standpoint of boxing quality. It follows, then, that the surviving octet, as a whole, is the most competent ever to represent Indianapolis in the Chicago carnival. As the title winners settle down to their renewed grind, let's scan them over and see what they are toting to Chicago in the way of skill and what it was that carried them through a stiff row of opposition during the four nights of thrilling action before packed houses at the local Armory. There’s: Jimmie Williams, Flyweight —A youngster who is exceptionally rangy as 112-pounders go, but as a result usually has a fine advantage in reach. Jimmie doesn’t have the speed afoot that is a part of most champion flyweighters, but he hits fast, clean and hard. He had to pull an Upset over Tommy LaFevre, Oliver A. C. favorite, to gain his title. Jimmie hails from the Colonial A. C. Judy Davies, Bantamweight Scored the quickest knockout of .the evening in his crown-winning bout. He stopped Omer Sensei with one flurry of punches as the first round opened, then expressed disappointment in the dressing room that the bout didn’t last longer so he could “show what he had.” A well-built lad from the Oliver-WPA stable. Bud Cottcy, Featherweight—Posessor of fine co-ordination in two important fistic faculties —he’s a boxer as well as a stiff puncher. Specializes in trip-hammer uppercuts during close infighting flurries. Blond Bud. another Oliver boy, trounced Skeet Dickerson in the; final go after Skeet had chilled j highly rated Emmet Longstaff. Norval "Binninger, lightweight— j Came through a tough weight class' by edging out Marshall Allison. Shelbyville’s pride, in a stinging j final bout. Indicated he can “take it” when he weathered Allison’s ambitious barrage to give back more than he received. Norval's a goodlooking lad, and trains at the Oliver plant. Harry Brown, welterweight—Undoubtedly the deadliest puncher to j show during the tourney. Harry j smacks ’em with either mitt, and his record of four tourney knockouts is the tip-off to the dynamite behind those dukes. He isn’t a slug- j ger, he's a polished boxer and throws his lethal punches from close | in. Brownie is a star protege of Roy Wallace and puts in his daily ! training licks at the WallaceMonahgan Physical Culture establishment. Johnny Denson, middleweight— Johnny is 157 pounds of steely seri- , ousness when he gets in the ring. I He went to Chicago last year as a welter, but he stepped up a notch this time and earned a return ticket by whipping the defending middle champ, Delbert Hutton. Denson, |

teams to register. De Paul, James Millikin and Armour Tech have entered from Illinois. Franklin College, because it uses freshmen on varsity teams, must compete in the A. A. U. eliminations. Central Normal of Danville, coming under the same classification, has appealed to the committee for s berth in the collegiate division, claiming that no freshmen and r.o seniors who played their freshman year are included in the Normal roster.

League Goes Collegiate Twenty-six new collcr/e baseball players are to wake debuts icith the American Learjne this season. Connie Mack's Athletics, icith seven enller/e-traincd rookies, lead the junior major circuit in this respect.

The follow-through in basketball' is as important as in golf, and here is Chicago's Haarlow, norelation to the Hollywood beauty, demonstrating how it’s done.

another Oliver product, steps fast for his weight and probably is the best defensive scrapper to emerge from the local whirl. Frank lanuzzi, light heavy— Here’s the slugger. Frank steps in, takes what the other fellow has to offer, then pays it back with interest. At least, that's what he did in this tourney. A powerfully built soldier from Fort Harrison, but is fighting under the Oliver banner. Elza Thompson, heavyweight— Big, good-natured Elza, 215 pounds of Negro soundness, started out as a doubtful novice and finished decisively on top of the dreadnaught division. He didn’t knock any one over, but he improved with each fight and showed a surprising ability to defend himself while throwing short, jarring punches. Elza will encase his size 14!6 brogans in his good old house-slippers in Chicago, too. He’s not going to take a chance of changing his luck by putting on shoes. One-Stroke Margin Wins Re volt a S7OO By United Preen THOMASVILLE, Ga„ Feb. 17.—1n a dramatic finish, lanky Johnny Revolta, P. G. A. titleholder, captured the Thomasville Open at Glen Arven and today added S7OO to his

winnings, which last year were the largest among money - playing golfers. Revolta. playing h is final round with Vic Ghezzi, Deal (N. J.) pro. took a birdie lour on the seventysecond hole, while Ghezzi was threeputting for a bogie six. The margin gave Revolta first-place purse by one stroke.

Their aggregate cards were: Revolta. 283; Ghezzi, 284. Ghezzi captured $450 second money. Ky Laffoon, young Chicago pro, carded a 142, two below par. on the final 36 holes yesterday, to take third-place purse of $350. His 286 for the 72 holes was two strokes better than Gene Sarazen’s 288.

Haarlow Retains Slight Edge Over Purdue Star
