(CHICK HAFEY is likely to come out of baseball retirement and return to the Cincy Reds this year. ... The famous outfielder has not played a championship game in any league in organized ball since May 5, 1935, but he still is popular in the Queen City and the club officials have mapped out a plan to bring him back. . . . Hafey retired because of ill health, after an attack of the flu. ... Friends report that Chick has been taking a course of treatments for sinus trouble which have done him a lot of good and made him feel so capable physically that his thoughts again are turning to the national pastime. . . . He was batting .339 when he keeled over two years ago. The Cincy plan is to release Hafey on a 24-hour option to a Southern Association club or to one of the Southern California Pacific Coast League teams so that he may attempt the comeback in warm weather. . . . About June 1, under the plan, Chick would be recalled to the Reds. ... He is 34 years old, and like any other veteran, may not relish that minor league assignment for a test. ... However, he’s been inactive for two years and the Reds’ suggestion looks fair enough. £3 2 un 2 ” » AROLD (PIE) TRAYNOR, manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, was in Indianapolis yesterday. . . . He was a visitor at the State House and looked in on the legislators in action. . . . “It's my first experience as a spectator before lawmakers,” the genial Pie said. . .. He came over from Brookville, Ind., his winter home. .., . Traynor confided that he has signed a local youngster for a tryout with the Buccaneers. . . . “I cannot reveal his name at this time,” the Pirates’ boss stated, “the lad is employed and desires to stay on the job until spring

training time. . . . Anyway, he’s a good prospect.” . . . Pie is going to California shortly to talk “salary” to some>of his players who reside

“there. . . . He explained, “If they are going to hold out I want to know

about it before the newspapers.” . . . Traynor cxpressed the opinion that Pitcher Oral Hildebrand will have a big season with the Browns this year. . . . Hildie, a local product, was traded recently to St. Louis by Cleveiand. . . . Pie believes Manager Hornsby is just the type to get the best out of the Hoosier. i 8 a : 2 2 2

HE first big league baseball rosters of the new year were issued by the Boston teams—the Bees and the Red Sox. ... And they reveal that neither club has an outfielder who hit .300 last season. . . . Dan Howley, now manager of the Toronto baseball club, was an Indianapolis catcher in 1908. . .. The St. Louis Browns and the Cardinals, who use the same park, are in the dark over who will turn on the lights. - ... Each club has permission to play seven night tilts this year. . .. The Cards wish to turn on the juice in May, the Brownies in June... .- They're at loggerheads. . . .

Tilden, Richards Split On Open Champ Subject

By HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent SARASOTA Fla., Jan. 21.—As I am in this little city on the gulf with orders to throw all my reportorial skill into the recording of the Baseball Players’ National Golf championship, I suppose I really shouldn't sit down and do a column on the subject of tennis. But I am, even though it- be treason, for in my talk with Big Bill Tilden and Vinnie Richards a

will guarantee packed stands. You wait and see.”

| Jess Pritchett Sr.’s 624 made up the

a ® a

‘a

few days ago they expressed several

. opinions on the subject of an open

tennis championship which I want to put on paper. William and Vincent are, to reach right up and snatch a phrase from the air, at opposite ends of the poles on the subject. Richards believes that an open championship, with pros and amateurs meeting for the world’s title, ‘is but two years away at the most. Tilden thinks Richards a bit balmy on the matter, and will bet you money (or its equivalent) that such a tournament never will be held.

Tilden Gives Reasons

Speaking for the negative side, Tilden advanced these reasons: All amateur tournaments, save those which are used as a means of publicity for some seaside or mountain resort, are conducted for gain — financial gain. Wimbledon, Forest Hills, Longwood, Germantown, Seabright and all the state-and sectional ones. The men who operate them appreciate to ‘the fullest the beautiful setup of amateur tennis—a setup where the workmen work for nothing, or something mighty close to it. And they are not going to split the intake, all of which goes to their clubs now, with the professionals. Tilden named Wimbiedon as the finest example of the amateur tennis setup. Year after year Wimbledon reaps a golden harvest from the efforts of the volunteer talent, and the very word “professional” is an anathema.

Couldn't Even Practice Big Bill pointed out that Wimble-

“don officials, once he turned pro,

refused to allow him to even practice on their most distant clay court. And treated Henri Cochet the same way, despite the fact that, between them, Bill and Henri drew fully half a million dollars through the gates as amateurs. Richards agreed with Tilden concerning Wimbledon, but believed the club would make a rapid descent from its high horse this year when England loses the Davis Cup. : “We would have had an open tournament before this,” Richards argued, “if Britain, the cup-holding nation, hadn't held out against it. With the trophy in their possession, the English knew that amateur tennis would draw well. But now that it’s gone, and there is little hope of immediate . recovery, they will be anxious to join a movement which

To this argument Tilden had a very pregnant answer. : “I don’t think England will make an about-face,” Bill said, “but even if it does, what about the nation which takes the cup away from the dear little island? Say Germany wins it, which I think it will. Do you think the German association, with the precious trophy in its grasp for the first time, is going to be willing to listen to the call of the professionals? No, they won’t. And if America wins it—well, Vinnie, you know the dear old American amateur patriarchs as well as I do. Well, maybe not quite so well, but almost.” Richards believes professional tennis, to become a permanent and healthy thing, must have a czar, such as baseball's Landis, who can heal the wound between the teaching pros and the exhibition playing pros.

Paul Waner Is Pirate Holdout

By United Press PITTSBURGH, Jan. 21.‘— Paul Waner, batting champion of the National League in 1936, has returned his new contract unsigned to Pirate headquarters, while his brother, Lloyd, and Pitcher Ed Brandt, have signed their 1937 contracts. President William Benswager said he anticipates no difficulty in signing Paul Waner. Only a small difference was indicated.

Perfect Score Registered at | Uptown Alleys

| 'Barbasols Set Season Record | Of 3368 in Indianapolis | League Session.

By BERNARD HARMON

Another A. B. C. diamond medal award for a perfect game is to become the possession of an Indianapolis bowler, Freddie Shaw, of the Uptown Recreation League, who registered the 12-strike count in the loop’s session at the Uptown Alleys last night. While Shaw was turning in the sensational game, the Barbasol quintet, rolling in the Indianapolis League at the Pritchett Alleys, posted a new three-game record for the season, when they cracked the maples to the tune of 3368. Three additional teams of the Indianapolis circuit passed the 3000 mark, one 700 solo count was registered and 18 other individuals posted 600 series. Other loops in action joined

gala night, despite the downpour of rain that was supposed to have affected the life of the maples. Shaw registered his 12 strikes in

the Hoosier Petes and followed with games of 209 and 174 for a 683 total. It was the fourth local 300 game of the season in league play, and the second in Shaw’s eight years of action on the pin lanes. « He has also rolled four perfect games in practice sessions. Team Posts League Record Other Hoosier Pete pastimers joined Shaw’s striking spree in the opener and the team posted a new league record for the season with an 1183 game. The quintet failed to continue its scoring tactics and dropped the final two games to Ko-We-Ba Coffee, which had Harry Link’s 627 and Art Sachs’ 607 as its feature totals. Other leading individuals of the session were John Bader and John Pearson with 610s and Bill Bowen, Harold Goldsmith and Emil Elder with 600s. The Barbasols used games of 1149, 1116 and 1103 for their record series, winning three times over the Indianapolis Power .& Light Co. Don Johnson paced the team with a 703, that was good for city-wide honors of the evening. It was his season's fourth 700 total and resulted - from games of 222, 233 and 248. John Fehr’s 683, Johnny Murphy’s 680, Lee Carmin's 678 and

balance of the 3368. Fendricks Total 3062

Paced by Manuel Schonecker’s 650, Fendrick’s Restaurants pounded out games of 936, 994 and 1132 for a 3062 and an odd-game decision over Hudepohl Beers, who nabbed the initial clash through a 1032. Marott Shoes totaled 3055 in their double victory over Bowes Seal Fast. They had games of 1016, 970 and 1069, dropping the middle encounter by one pin. Ed Stevenson with 642, Paul Stemm with 634 and Oscar Behrens with 616 were outstanding - for the Shoemen, while Larry Fox with 652 ‘and Lou Daugherty with 609 were best for the losers, who were at their best in the final game with a 1051. Packard Motors dropped two games to L. S. Ayres & Co, although they outscored their rivals, 3016 to 2044. With John Blue at 655, Chuck Markey at 645, Dad Hanna at 612 and Leo Ahearn at 608, the Motors turned in games of 942, 1040 and 1034. The Ayres quintet with Jack Hunt at 680 and Bill Brunot at 611, used openers of 1001 and 1050 for its pair of victories. In other team clashes, Falls City Hi-Brus and Coca Cola won twice each over Lieber Beer and MarmonHerrington. Joe Fulton’s.639 for the Brus and Arch Heiss’ 601 for the Marmons were the outstanding solo contributions. : Pritchett Sr., Riggs Get 653s Totals of 653 gave Jess Pritchett Jr. and Horace Riggs honors of the Polk Sanitary Milk Co. and Inter Club Leagues. Pritchett’s series resulted from games of 202, 204 and 247 in the loop’s session at the Pennsylvania, giving his Pro-Lac team a sweep over Chocolate Milk. Guernsey Milk, paced by Prior Smith’s 645, was also a three-time winner, Buttermilk being the victims. . Riggs’ big series, resulting from 184, 202 and 267, was supported by Burnett Strohm’s 645, giving Universal Indians an odd-game decision over Exchange Service. The winners closed with a 1003. The two Junior Chamber of Commerce teams, Dots and Dashes, and the Lions Club also registered shutouts. Orphy Leads K. of C. Loop Chris Orphey topped a trio of honor shooters of the Knights of Columbus League at the Pennsylvania Alleys. He had a 644, Tom Casserly totaled 616 and Bill Sargent 606. Casserly and Sargent performed with Pittman-Rice Coal Co. which shut out Orphey’s Voight Mortuary. The winners posted a 1014 middle game.

The regard in which Byrd is held was proved last night when, in the Calcutta Pool Auction, he brought $166 against $88 for the defending champion, Wesley Ferrell, ace righthander of the Boston Red Sox.

Bloomington Graduate Two Bit is a senior, a graduate of Bloomington High School, where he was a state high school championship grappler. In stature, he stretches to make the five-foot mark, and couldn’t make the team as a sophomore because he was too light: Undaunted, he worked out daily with the team, and at the end of the season hitch-hiked to the National A.

Last year, with a vacaney in the 126-pound class, Willard Duffy, who had been undefeated in dual competition at 113 pounds, was moved up and Two Bit took over his duties in the 118-pound division, ending the season by taking the Conference championship in this weight.
