Big League Games With Naval Teams in Florida Urged .

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—A letter from Lieut. Col. Gene Tunney refers enthusiastically to the sportsmindedness of the 3700 enlisted men at Pensacola’s U, S. Naval air station, to which the retired heavy- . weight champion is currently -attached.... “Among other things we have a first » Tate baseball team,” he writes. This gives wus an idea. There will be a dozen or so big league clubs training : i in Florida this Joe Williams Spring, not to 2 mention a small army of minor leaguers, Pensacola "isn’t too far from‘ the center of the baseball belt asito be inaccessible, It would be a patriotic and worthy gesture if the better teams would visit the air base and play. exhibition games. for the fledgling -ayiators. This ‘would be the only pro- _ fessional ‘baseball the: youngsters ~ would see all year, quite possibly ~ for some years. We feel baseball is too big3 ded and generous to ignore this opportunity to be of social service to the enlisted men, especially ‘with the geographical setup being sc favorable. Perhaps the best approach Is to form a committee, contact the ous managers who are to train Florida and arrange a formal hedule. We can assure the genemen of the h est co-operi-on the’ part of

jco-operate more and mora.

Watch and see. Only the willfully dull can fail to realize that. Some days ago we suggested that the colleges add service teams t¢ their 1941 schedule, the full receipts from such games going to army camps for recreational and athletic activities. We are happy to report the idea is being seriously consiclered. We were merely thinking out loud and had no practical program to present. Just {he same ve are convinced the idea is sound and presents no obstacles experienced promotional minds can’t solve. Some of our better athletic; have alerady been called and by nex: fall there won’t be an army camp in the coun(try without a representative football team. This nieans that if such a program can: be worked out the cash customers would bé seeihg high class, smashing competition. The principal objection we have run into so far is that college schedules are made up: from one to three years in advance &nd:that the inclusion of added games is difficult, especially in the East where climatic conditions grow increasingly worse as the season lengthens out. This isn’t an altogethir formidable objection because {he weather, even in the East, does vary and can you name us a more hearty or rugged individual than tlie football addict?

'Only One Red’

NEW YORK, Jan. 23 (U.P.). —Purely in a sporting spirit and without malice, Tim Mara, owner of the New York Giants of the National Professional - League, said today that Tommy Harmon may be a better football player than Red Grange, but “for my money Red was the top gate attraction of all time.” “There’ll never be another Grange,” he added. “No player ever got the publicity he did, before or since. Harmon may be better than Red, but my money says Grange was the top gate attraction of all time.” Mara voiced practically the same opinion of John Kimbrough of Texas A. & M., who reports say has been offered a one-year salary of $37,500 to play professional football. “Kimbrugh may be good, I don’t know,” said Mara. “But I don't think he rates with Bronco Nagurski.”

Cardinal Drive Upsets State

"By UNITED PRESS Ball State’s netters, trailing 14 to 7 at the half, staged a ferrific stretch drive last night to nose Indiana State, 27 to 26, in a Hoosier Conference battle. The loss was Indiana State’s first in three league games. Led by Clayton Smith, the Cardinals hounced back from first half futility to climb ahead of the Sycamores, 21 to 20, with about 10 minutes to go. : By virtue of defensive work and refusing free throws, the Cardinals hung on until the end. In the only other conference clash Earlham downed N. C. A, G. U. handily, 51 to 30. Out-of-state, Manchester bowed to Western Michigan State, 58 to 44, and Rose Poly lost to Shurtleff, 47 to 29. Hoosier cage crews are idle tonight.

Kautskys to Play ‘All-America Tilt’ -America 11it Next Wednesday night's professional basketball clash between the Indianapolis Kautskys and the Firestones of Akron, O., might easily be billed a battle of All-Americans. Both aggregations are loaded with players who have won positions on one of the many mythical guintets chosen each season. Jewell Young of the Kautskys and Johnny Moir of the Ohioans are the leading all-Americaiis of the: two teams, having been unanimous choices of most of the experts in their collegiate campaigning. Young starred with Purdue, while Moir was a standout at Notre Dame.

More Than 20 Fights Carded At Fieldhouse

Open Class Gladiators Will Get First Call

THE TIME-1:30.

THE PLACE—Butler house.

Field-

Indianapolis Golden Glovers again are poised for the sound of the bell that will send them into their second edition of swing-time at Butler Fieldhouse tonight. J The amateur fistic warfare Is scheduled to start at 7:30 o'clock in the spacious arena and tournament officials estimate the program will consist of approximately 20 bouts. Last week’s menu stretched to 24 battles and it’s a safe guess it will exceed 20 again tonight. The hard swatting heavyweights and light heavies in the Open. class probably will be called upon to do their stuff during this second show. No Open class gladiators fought last week and they are about due to hear their numbers called. Interest in the Golden Gloves tourney increased in a: big way the past week and directors of the meet believe attendance will show a large jump tonight. On opening night 14 of the 24 matches ended in knockouts or technical knockouts and the fans departed the Fieldhouse feeling they had received a barrel of action at bargain rates.

Speed and Punching

All bouts are scheduled over the three-round route, two minutes to the round and to a decision of two judges and the referee. Since a single defeat means elimination the adversaries usually step through the six minutes of fireworks at top speed and shooting both guns. Tournament competition is in two classes—Open and Novice—and in eight weight divisions in each class: flyweight, 112 pounds; bantamweight, 118; featherweight, 126; lightweight, 135; welterweight, 147; middleweight, 160; light heavyweight, 175; heavyweight, unlimited. The eight champions in the Open class will form The Indianapolis Times-Legion team and will compete in the Tournament of Golden Gloves Champions at Chicago, Feb. 24, 25, 26. After tonight, remaining local Golden Gloves dates are Jan. 31 and Feb. T and 14, all Friday shows. After last week's customary shrinkage at the weigh-in and physical examinations, plus 24 eliminations, the tournament field was reduced to 125 eligibles, 63 in the Open class, 62 in the Novice. ,

Boxers Must Weigh In

All boxers remaining in competition were under orders to report for a second weigh-in and physical check-up at Butler Fieldhouse this afternoon. Frank Collman, tourney committee chairman, was to be in charge of the scales and Drs. Will Long and Morris Thomas were to direct the physical examinations. The weigh-in was to start at 3:30 o'clock and continue until all boys checked in. Drawings for the night’s matches will take place after physical examinations have been completed. No boxer will be permitted to enter the ring until given the okay by the tournament physicians. Another Open championship is vacant in the current meet as a result of the withdrawal of James Hiner, the defending heavyweight champ. Porter Stewart, Washington A. C. trainer, reported that an arm injury will keep the big fellow out of action.

Shelbyville Rifles Bang Out a Victory

Columbus Wins By One Point

Most of the prestige Shortridge’s basketball Blue Devils may have lost when they were defeated by Tech last week in the city high school tournament has been regained. The North Siders could boast today of holding the speedy Columbus Bulldogs to a one-point victory and could blame a basket in the final four seconds of play for their 32-31 defeat last night. It also appears that Coach Kenneth Peterman has uncovered another pointpourer to join his Three Musketeers —West, Benjamin and Strack. Bill Swain, who has been considered the No. 6 or No. 7 man on the Shortridge team, found his eye last night and hit four baskets, sharing scoring honors with Chuck Benjamin with nine points. More than that, it was Swain, along with Bryan West, who sparked a Shortridge rally in the fourth quarter that brought the Blue Devils alongside Columbus at 28-all after the Devils had trailed 28-19. From that point, it was nip-and-tuck the rest of the way. Benjamin made good a technical foul awarded for an extra Columbus timeout, and West connected again to give Shortridge a 31-28 lead. The Peterman crew attempted to freeze the ball, but the Bulldogs came after ‘em. The stall was broken up, and Garnet Welch onehanded a field goal. High-scoring Gene Coleman batted in the winning basket. The Bulldogs, defeated this season by Franklin, New Albany, Shelbyville and Frankfort, led 5-2 aft the quarter and 15-12 at the half,

Newsom's Pay Tops Feller’s (So They Say)

‘Yah, Yah,” Clevelanders

By BERNARD CRANDELL United Press Staff Correspondent

DETROIT, Jan. 28.—Despite verbal pot-shots from Cleveland, Buck (Bo-Bo) Newsom ranked today as the most expensive pitcher baseball has ever known with a scheduled seasonal stipend of $35,000 for 1941, which boils down to just about a penny a word for his summer oral

output.

Pitching hero of the Detroit Tigers in the 1940 World Series, Newsom, according to club owner Walter O. Briggs, received $30,000 for his services last season and has

liable sources said that Buck had received at least a $5000 raise and considering Briggs’ liberal bonus

as $37,500. In Cleveland, the Indians didn’t take too kindly to the Tigers’ “record” pronouncemnt and President Alva Bradley said: * Wi question is, is he getting i ” : Feller’s Pay Is ‘Secret’

dollar pile Tuesday when he okayed a 1941 contract estimated to call for a $30,000 salary. While his new salary was not announced, Feller was reported to have received between $25,000 and $27,500 last year. When asked if Feller’'s wage was higher than the record $27,500 paid to Lefty Grove by the Philadelphia Athletics, Bradley said: “His contract is the highest that has ever been paid a pitcher in the major leagues.” He refused to disclose the exact amount and said it was a “private matter.” Newsom recorded 21 victories against five losses for the Tigers last year, In the World Series he won two games but lost the last and deciding battle in a pitching duel with big Paul Derringer of Cincinnati. He permitted an average of only 2.83 earne® runs per game and was one of the big factors in Detroit's drive to the pennant.

Led the League

Feller last year won 27 and lost 11 and struck out 261 batters to lead the league. -His earned run average was 2.62. \ Inasmuch as Hank Greenberg, generally considered the highest paid player in the game last season, probably will be drafted into the Army this year, either Newsom. or Feller will snap a rubber band $2ound baseball’s biggest 1941 bankroll.
