By Eddie Ash BRITISHERS TURN TO BASEBALL mm m PAPERS REVEAL TREND TO GAME

JJRITISH trade papers reveal that America’s national pastime, baseball, finally has won a prominent place on the sports calendar in England. Full page advertisements are carried offering different lines of baseball goods and pointing out that “a baseball boom is on the way.” Evidently England is letting both barrels go in jumping on the diamond bandwagon, promoters going so far as to employ Canadian players to give balance and finish to the native clubs which are being organized into leagues in various sections. Babe Ruth was made an offer to serve as instructor, but turned it down to accompany an amateur baseball party to the Olympic Games to give exhibitions. It was in 1874 that American baseball men tried to sell the game to England and two Yankee nines crossed the Atlantic for a series of performances. In 1888 Cap Anson and A1 Spalding did the same thing, and in 1914 John McGraw and Charles Comiskey stopped off there on the 'round the world Giants-White Sox tour. During the World War many American soldiers were in England and baseball was their chief summer pastime. Canadian nines also played the game over there. In 1924 the New York Giants went barnstorming and England again saw big league ball, but cricket, resisted the lure of the American sport until last year, when the current boom had its inception.

tt tt tt The tip is out that Lou Gehrig, hard-hitting first sacker, is to become New' York Yankee manager in 1938. Joe McCarthy’s contract is good through 1937. The Yanks have finished second four times in the last five seasons. If you don’t land on top in New York, you might Just as well finish last. Second place doesn't count. >t a a IF Johnny Cooney, up from Indianapolis, solves big-league pitching he is sure to stay with the Dodgers. A correspondent, writing from the Brooklyn camp at Clearwater, says: “The apple of Manager Stengel’s eye In the defensive division of the outfield is the wellseasoned Johnny Cooney. Pilot Stengel avers that the Hoosier product makes fewer mistakes than any outfielder he ever has seen.” u a it Harry Geisel. Indianapolis’ American League umpire, is handling the spring exhibition games for the Yankees at St. Petersburg. He was assigned to that camp by the loop prexy. It was Harry who said, “If I had a son, I certainly would not permit him to consider umpiring as a life work.” tt a a •According to Gordon Graham, Lafayette scribe, it cost Coach Ev- , erett Dean of Indiana University j sll to attend the Purdue basketball banquet the other night. Graham says Dean was pinched for speeding, hailed into court and fined before the SOS call could be sent out. tt tt tt NEW YORK basketball fans were treated to a look at the tallest basketball team in the country when the McPherson Oilers, of Kansas, played an all-star group of collegians in Madison Square Garden recently. The tallest man on the team is Willard Schmidt, a forw rd, 6 feet 9; and the center, Joe Fortenberry, is 6 feet 8. The smallest man on the squad is Francis Johnson, an even six feet. u tt u WHEN Babe Ruth was a playboy he spent one w-inter in Havana and the horses “took him” for $30,000. It was all he had and the following spring’s training trip found him flat. It was a “cure-all” for the Babe on trying to guess the bangtails. Later, he “reformed” and built up another fortune before the old legs failec eno°d his diamond career. tt tt tt RUTH thinks the Tigers are due to repeat in the American League this year with Cleveland second, Boston third and New York fourth. His choice in the National is St. Louis. He rates the Giants the Fourth of July pennant winners “to be run over by the Cards in the stretch.” For some reason or other the Babe doesn't figure the Cubs, the betting favorite. a tt tt Who you bettin’ on in the King Edward VIII Matrimonial Sweepstakes?

Lewis Gains Decisive Win Over Briton Light-Heavy Champ Retains Title in 15-Round Go With McAvoy. By l nilcd Press NEW YORK, March 14.—John Henry Lewis, one-time Phoenix, Ariz., choirboy visioned a campaign today to extend his reign as lightweight champion all around the globe. Conqueror of Jock McAvoy, middleweight champion of the British Empire, in a brisk 15-round duel last night in Madison Square

Garden, Lewis seriously c o nsidered offers to defend his title from London to Australia. He has a tempting offer from Sidney, Australia, one from London, and another from Paris. Supremely confldent of his superiority over any one in the world at 175 pounds, Lewis may

Lewis'

make the next defense of his title on foreign shores instead of trying to invade the heavyweight division. The presence of Joe Louis in the unlimited division may have something to do with Lewis’ desire to stay in his own class. Light-Heavies Back in Favor By winning the unanimous decision of referee Arthur Donovan and the two judges over McAvoy, the tall Negro went a long way toward rehabilitating the light-heavy-weight division after siv sad years during the reigns of Maxie Rosenbloom and Bob Olin. A crowd of 12,980 paid $37,712.24 to see the best 175-pound title light since Tommy Loughr.-’n and Jimmy Slattery staged their whirlwind 15-round battle in 1930. Lewis weighed 172ff1, McAvoy 168ffl. Lewis won by a wide margin, but for some unaccountable reason the crowd booed when Joe Humphries raised his hand. “I was sorry to see the crowd boo Lewis,” commented McAvoy in his dressing room. “He clearly won although I didn’t fight my best.” Swollen Right Hand Although the stout-hearted Englishman, who conceded weight, height and reach to the champion, refused to say why he didn’t fight his best battle, one look at his swollen right hand explained why he seldom threw a right hand punch from the ninth round to the finish. Dr. William Walker, commission physician who examined it, said it was badly bruised and would have to be X-rayped to determine the exact extent of the injury. Through the first nine rounds, the battle was almost evenly waged. Fighting out of a crouch. McAvoy l puzzled the champion by bobbing | and rolling and made Lewis miss i badly. Both tired through the late ! rounds, and with McAvoy's right hand practically useless, the tempo ; slowed down. Lewis won the last six rounds, frequently outscoring the challenger three and four punches ,to one. McAvoy's ring cunning and clever defense undoubtedly saved him from considerable punishment, and possibly from being floored. Welter Scrappers Matched for Top Amateur Mitt Go Brown, Local Golden Gloves Ace, to Hook Up With Terre Haute Champ. The amateur boxing program at Tomlinson Hall next Thursday night will feature a four-round clash between Harry Brown of Beech Grove and Joe Benna, Terre Haute, it was announced today. Brown is Indianapolis Golden Gloves welterweight champion, while Benna is the title holder at Terre Haute. The Beech Grove | scrapper scored four knockouts to take the local crown. Benna won three bouts in the Chicago midwestern championships. Both are stiff punchers. Thirty-two rounds of boxing will be offered. Other fighters who have agreed to appear on the card but have not been matched include Sammy Baker, Skeet Dickerson. Chuck Miller. Wally Ricks. Karl Brauer, Bob Bell, Bob Blue, George Hoyt. Frank lannuzzi and Jimmy Kruckemeier. Roy Wallace, matchmaker, an- ! nounces that the participants may i work out in the Wallace-Monaghan i gym in the evenings from 7 to 8:30.

Timet Special CHICAGO, March 14.—Central Normal College of Danville, Ind., and De Paul University of Chicago tonight will fight the last elimination battle for the Fifth District Olympic tournament championship.
