LOT of horse players are hopping on Stagehand’s "~ bandwagon for the $50,000 Widener Handicap on March 4 at Hialeah, down Miami way. . . . Until last Saturday the majority of turf goers thought all War dmiral had to do. to win his second straight Widener

was to show up at the

Lennan Memorial in his

first start since last fall. |... He equalled the track

record of 1:481-5 for a mile and a furlong and stole the show’ from the Admiral which defeated Pasteurized by only a half length in the Ft. Pierce, a seven-furlong sprint, on the same card. Stagehand had a tougher race. . . . He stumbled at the break and trailed the field for five furlongs. Jockey Jimmy Stout handled his mount in prilliant fashion and circled the leaders. . . . Col.

= A NOTHER well remembered fistic attraction on Washington's Birth-

day was that in which Johnny Kilbane of Cleveland won the featherweight crown by defeating Abe Attell in 20 rounds in 1912 at San Francisco. . " 3 Kilbane kept the crown over a long stretch of years, or until 1923,

. when stopped by Eugene Criqui of France in six rounds. . . . Many

sports goers lost heavily on that one, since Johnny was reported strong

and agile despite his many years at the top.

The affair was staged in New York on June 2, and on July 26, the same year, Johnny Dundee outpointed Criqui in 15 rounds and

annexed the title.

IAMI, Fla., Feb. 22.—The No. 2 road company of that hilarious fistic farce, “I'll Moider Dat Bum,” starring "the eminent beer guzzler, Gentleman Tony Galento, will

| make its first appearance under Southern skies here © tonight.

The bum Mr. Galento and his brain department, con“sisting wholly of Joe Jacobs, or the wily Joe Jacobs, as we believe he is called, have elected to moider is Honest Abe Feldman of New York City. The performance prom-

i. iges to be more than adequate.

Although there is a lively local interest in Mr. Galento as a curiosity

the pink of fighting ferocity, the more critical gentry seems disposed to.

Butler Good Fight in

Seven Players Ejected on Personals as Bulldogs Triumph, 46-39. By LEO DAUGHERTY 2 Times Staff Writer

GREENCASTLE, Feb, 22—The Indiana Conference basketball bunt-

ling which Indianapolis’ Butler Bull-

dogs coveted today was no Washington’s birthday present by any

-| gift barometer.

The Bulldogs had to growl plenty before they snared it with their 46-10-39 bite of the DePauw Tigers In fact, everybody growled—the sprinkling of Butler

officials, too. The latter voiced their ire with whistles while the record keepers at the scorers’ bench blared a monotonous symphony with their fish horns to flag seven players to the showers for things ,which - the hardwood statutes say are not permissable.’

Plenty Tough, Dietz Says

This victory. which Bob Dietz, always one of the sparkling lamps of the Bulldogs, said was one of the toughest he had ever helped to achieve, was the eighth in a row in the densely-populated state league for the Butlers. : The Tigers’ pregame whine was that they didn’t have high-scoring Herb Kixmiller, who was back home in. Viucennes with a heavy cold. Butler was all set with a possible alibi because the flu hat flattened Coach Tony Hinkle. But Kixy's mates did all right by him, and Earl Overman, assistant Butler mentor,

‘ |did all right by Tony.

The DePauw section droned iis objections from whistle to whistle. After all, 39 fouls are a lot to call in one game and the audience thought that Winston Ashley and Earl Dickerson had their visions geared too much for the. benefit of an old struggle. But they wanted to keep things in hand and, of course, when youre being paid for that particular job, it’s only honest effort to try and do so.

Overman a Bit Shaky

Naturally, Mr. Overman was nervous in his role as pinch-hitting pilot, but he didn’t have nearly so many ups and downs and possibly not so many ups as did Tubby Moffett of the Tigers before he had the eventual down. Butler's George Perry went out of the game with the Bulldogs Lolding only a 33-t0-29 edge, and Dietz went to cover with the score only 35 to 30 in his team’s favor. Mr. Dietz didn’t think it was so. He came over to the scorekeepers’ bench and argued his case and remarked that “it can’t be.” It wasn’t until Butler's Andy Boa told him that everyone had counted four on him that he was willing to call it a night. When those two Butler boys bowed, Mr. Moffett took new heart and thought he had a chance. Then the rough stuff started to catch up with his own lads and off Butler went to pull away driving in the stretch.

They Move Swiftly

Butler is, and has been all season, too much in the pinch for these other Indiana Conference teams. The Bulldogs play, aside from the league schedule, the tough ones. They get down the floor with a speed second only to Indiana’s and as a team their aim isn’t bad. Butler is a. sprinting team and these state teams haven't been able to hold one which is just shy of the big leagues. Ed Lindsay. the DePauw ace, probably is one of the finest basketball players in the state. He has shown it all season. : He hit five out of six long ones in the first half and before the rule infractions had caught up with him banged up a total of 14 points. The summary: 3 Butler (46). DePauw (39). FG FT FG FT PE

Sterling Sgott, elongated center, has missed two games because of flu . . . and C¢aptains Wally Ziemba and Clarence Hasse have been under the weath€r. . . . New Albany is the club that handed Jeffersonville oné of its two beatings this season . . . and the Jeffs beat Hammond by a lone point.

The Berries took an overtime decision from the Hot Dogs, 37-35, earlier in the year. . . . At the rate the Doggies have been stepping, however, they are rated to do great things in next month’s tourneys . . . and a Logansport victory would be considered by many as an upset. . . . Nearly 1000 Frankfort fans will follow their team to Logansport, to the tune of band music.
