“Taps” Opposes Tap

(Taps) Gallagher's plan

against basketball's center tap-off ts ironical, since the Niagara coach won his nickname by controlling the tap while in prep school.

HE Times-Legion Golden Gloves champions of 1937 will leave for Chicago tomorrow to compete in the Tournament of Champions at Chicago Stadium Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday . . . Three rings will be used each night. . .. The 112, 118, 126 and 135-pound classes will box on Monday, and the 147, 160, 175-pound classes and heavyweights on Tuesday . . . Survivors in all eight classes will compete on Wednesday . . . One defeat eliminates a fighter. « « « Shows on Monday and Tuesday will start at 6 p. m. and 7 on Wednesday . .. The 112-pound boys will lead off each night . . . Eight-ounce gloves will be used in all bouts and each bout will be scheduled for three rounds of two minutes each . .. No lad will be permitted to box more than twice in one evening. ” un =

u "

At the conclusion of the bouts on Feb. 24, the third night of fisticuffs, 32 boys will have qualified for the Chicago Tribune’s Golden Gloves semi-finals and finals which will be held at the Chicago Stadium on March 5... For the Tournament of Champions next week prices are $1.10, 66 cents and 40 cents . . . A number of sports goers of Indianapolis will be at the ringside, two groups having left for the Windy City today . . . It’s a “greatest show on earth” in amateur boxing circles, and at bargain prices.

. . . Net receipts are distributed among Chicago charities. ” n

NDIANAPOLIS Golden Gloves boxers will be in charge of Fred De Borde, tournament manager, and they will assemble at 476 S. Meridian St. at 9.3) a. m. tomorrow . . . The Hoosier fistic party will leave the Union Station at 10:20. Chicago-bound. . . . Fighters making the trip from here are Alfred Osborne, 112-pound champion; Walter Johnson, 118: George Cunningham, 126; Milton Bess, 135; Jimmy Meyers, 147; Johnny Denson, 160; Huben Bluestein, 175, and Elza Thompson, heavyweight. . Hugh McGinnis and One-Round Bess, former professional boxers, have been appointed trainers of the Indianapolis lads for the duration of the Tournament of Champions. . . . George Cunningham replaced Wilmer Hardesty in the 126pound class when the latter chose to box with the Purdue University team, where he is a student. = ®

If the Cards don't the Giants will, is the way Carl Hubbell sizes up the 1937 National League pennant race . The screwball king thinks Manager Frankie Frisch got just what he needed when he obtained Pitcher Lon Warneke from the Cubs to share the heavy mound toil with Dizzy Dean. . .. In the American League Hubbell predicts another waltz for the New York Yankees.

IMMY BRADDOCK says, “Max Schmeling made Joe Louis gamble and when he opened up the German popped him. I plan the same kind of fight. I have a good right and my left beat Max Baer. 1 don’t believe Louis can defend himself against a right cross, or he would have learned to do so long ago. And T hope to fight Schmeling after I beat Louis.”. . . The Jersey Irishman has studied Louis in four bouts and aims to continue to pick flaws in the Bomber’s stvle in an effort to harass Joe and his handlers. . . . Braddock is courageous, if nothing else. n =

In the meantime Louis’ trainers will keep after the Youngster and build up his defense against right-hand punches to the head and jaw. . . . It seems that Louis is hurt by high blows as well as biffs to the cheek and chin. . . . His pians at this time call for him to crowd Braddock from the outset and to bore through the champion’s defense with left hooks. . .. The Negros left hook is his Sunday punch, the one carrying dynamite.

Class B Doubles Champs On City Tenpin Program

By BERNARD HARMON Only two defending champions are scheduled on the week-end program of the annual city tournament, being conducted at the Pennsylvania Alleys. Walter Degisher and Perk Holtman, winners of the Class B doubles event in 1936 are to defend their title at 1 tomorrow afternoon. Most of the city’s outstanding scoring aces will not see action until next week-end. Members of the Barbasols, team champions of Class A, Bowes Seal Fasts, runnersup, and Falls City Hi-Brus, 1936 A. B. C. champions, are to face the maples at that time.

Fulton showed his heels to rivals when he cracked out the top series of the evening, a 647. Harold Cork set the pace in the Washington League games at the Illinois Alleys | with a 635 and Ranes tossed a 620

Joe Fulton and Carl Hardin are the defending Class A doubles champions and H. Fisher and M. Estein are Class C title holders. Chuck Markey, Maurice Marien and

Maurice Moriarity are the defending |

champions of Class A, B, and C, respectively. New pins failed to halt the heavy hitting Beam’s Recreation League in their matches at the Pennsylvania Alleys last night. Although

the quantity of 600s was lacking, |

bowlers who did pass the mark made it up in quality. The Barbasols, who last Sunday night set an all-time city tournament record on

the Pennsy drives, hung up a 3186 |

total last night that far outdistanced other fives in action.

Abbott Posts 690

Jess Pritchett Sr. paced the Barbasols with a 667 series, Johnny Murphy tossed a 661, John Fehr cracked out at a 633, Lee Carmin totaled 615 and Don Johnson

carded a 610. The team fired games |

of 1075, 1066 and 1045 to reach the big total and win three games from the opposing Bowes Seal Fast, who also cracked the old city tourna-

ment record one week previous to |

their opponents. The Seal Fasts, paced by

the evening, totaled 3093 on 1043, 1659 and 991. Lou Daugherty with 639 and Ed Striebeck with 620 were other heavy hitters for the losers. Abbott's topper came from games of 256, 220 and 214. Falls City Hi-Bru, Coca-Cola and L. S. Ayres & Co. were also threetime winners, Lieber Beer, Bader CoifTee and Miller Office Supply being the victims. Red Mounts with 638 and Carl Hardin with 615 paced the Brus; Herman Deupree with 612 was best for the Cokes and Herman Bohne starred for Liebers with a 623. Bader’s, Ayres and Hiller’'s failed to produce a 600 shooter.

Packards Take Second

Packard Motors managed to salvage a game from Marott Shoes and thereby gained second place in the |

team standings of the league. The team had been tied with the Seal Fasts previous to last night's

matches. The Paul Stemm-Ed Stev-

. : | enson combination with 637 and | 631 proved too much for the Pack- | p atty Berg Looks

The bgttle for first place in the team standings was the highlight of | last night's Insurance League | matches at the Pennsylvania Alleys. | Two teams now share the upper | berth, Connecticut General defeating | the former leaders, New Amsterdam, {two to one to gain the tie. Herb {Spier with 629 and Jim Hurt Sr. with | 612 were the loop's leading soloists. A trio of 600 shooters emerged | from the Bankers League session at | Pritchett’s, George Schaefer getting |a 623, Horace Tooley 613 and Carl | Koepper 610 A 247 finish gave | Brandlein a 617 total, the top spot of | the Chevrolet Commercial Body session at the Indiana Alleys.

Illini Need Victory Illinois must defeat Indiana for the second time this year to remain near the top of the league. Whether the Illini can come back after the demoralizing 61 to 34 lacing against Purdue likely will rest on how well Indiana has recovered from its midyear graduations.

One more defeat for Michigan !

and the Wolves definitely are out of the race. Northwestern, which failed miserably against second division teams, was a slight underdog but still conceded a chance to hit its stride against Michigan. Ohio State should encounter no

trouble in giving Chicago its 10th |

loss in a row. Iowa and Wisconsin will settle which will occupy ninth place in the standings for the rest of the week.

‘Bulldogs to Play

DePauw Tonight

Butler's basketball team will be seeking to settle an old score when it tangles with the DePauw Tigers tonight at Greencastle. Earlier in the season the Tigers defeated the Bulldogs by one point at the Fieldhouse. The game tonight will mark the second meeting of the two schools since 1929.

| Going into the last stretch of the | six days of bike racing at Butler | Fieldhouse, the nine teams in the field will return to the hoard saucer |at 2:45 this afternoon and battle | it out until 11 p. m. to end the 73-hour event. When the riders knocked off ag 2:30 this morning the Germans, | Gustave Kilian and Heinz Vopel, were ahead in sprint points, but in mileage and laps shared the lead with the American-Canadian tan dem of Freddie Spencer and Jules Audy, and the all-American team of Charlie Winter and Freddie Ottevaere.

Sprint Points Valuable

In the event this three-way tie still exists at the finish of the grind, sprint points will determine the winner. For this reason the German |aces hold an advantage. They have compiled 602 points, and nearest to them are Winter and Ottevaere with 489. However, the whole field is bunched and anything may happen in the final hours. Winners of sprints between 10 and 11 o'clock will receive 72 points, a situation which may pave the way for some of the trailers to make up lost ground if they are able to outwheel the members of the select group. Under the conditions, therefore, tonight's action promises to produce the best entertainment of the week. Jackie Sheehan and Henry O’Brien, the Irish scorchers, are one lap back of the three pacesetters and in good position to shoot for victory in the last part of the com= petition. Sheehan is riding under a handicap of injuries received in a spill Thursday, but he displayed a lot of courage last night and participated in the furious pace set during the sprints and jams,

Spencer, Audy Gain

Spencer and Audy jumped out in front by one lap last night, but the German stars, Kilian and Vopel, put on a spurt and made it up. Then Winter and Ottevaere came to life in an early morning drive and caught the leaders. Sensational duels between Charlie Winter and Kilian kept the fans’ | interest at high pitch. The two | aces often circled the course wheel {to wheel and went into the banks jin pell-mell fashion.
