SPORTS By Eddie Ash
BRANCH RICKEY, general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, credited with developing the first “¢hain store” baseball system, advocates a radical shift in the major league farming system that is sure to stir up a - lot of comment up and down the line in diamond circles.
“If I had my way,” he said the other night at the annual Boston baseball writers’ dinner, “I wouldn’t send a single player back to the . minor leagues from a major league club if some other major league club wished to have him on its roster.” He made the statement in discussing a recent ruling by Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw M. Landis restricting the optioning of players to minor leagues. Rickey used to be the daddy of them all in the business of hiding talent in the minors until the Cardinals felt the need of plugging a hole here and there. Rickey also plans a new spring training stunt for his club at St.‘ Petersburg, Fla., this year. . . . He’s going to install a pitching machine in part of the training ‘field where it can be adjusted for fast and slow pitching and can be fixed to throw the ball at a set spot. Incidentally, on Terry Moore's ability to convince draft board - officials in St. Louis that he is the sole support of his parents depends the classification of the Cardinals’ star outfielder for military service. , . . No. 428 in the draft, Moore is due to receive a questionnaire before the season opens and, without deferment, would be called this summer. Baseball or army, Moore will be in shape. . . . He's already {aking light training at Hot Springs, Ark. . . , Terry stepped out of the printing trade into big league baseball. i
Connie Paid Tribute by Chapman
ix BUT FOR Connie Mack’s patience and faith in him, Sah Chap- ++ .man, outfielder for the Philadelphia Athletics, believes he would have © been a dismal failure in the major leagues. The former ace football player and baseball star from the University of California gives the veteran owner and manager ot the Athletics full credit for winning a regular job with the team. ! Chapman recently told newspapermen of his pathetic debut with the Athletics, and how Mack ‘saved him against himself when ‘he was on the verge of turning in his uniform. |
» » 2 » » »
. “I LOOKED LIKE the worst busher imaginable,” said Chapman, “I failed to hit the ball out of the infield, in four times at bdt. In ‘the outfield I misjudged an easy fly ball that was turned into a triple to account for the run that beat us. : “I expected to be shipped to some minor league club that|night. But Mr. Mack eased my feelings by saying: ‘Don’t let your playing today get you down. Every player has his bad days. Just play for me as though you were playing for the University of Californig, and you will be all right.’
“That was just the: encouragement I needed. Y've been; doing
well ever since.” Women Bowl [Basketball First-round pairings tof the Girls

Just when it seemed prosperity was around the corner for the city’s high school basketball teams; a bunch of out-of-towners put ithe skids under them. And so today only two of seven can boast victories in the first round of week-end firing. These are Howe, 33-26 victor cver Lawrence, and Crispus Attucks, 27-24 conqueror of Dunbar of Day ton, ©. Shortridge dropped | fourth straight at Cri 31-28; Washington couldn’t shake off its losing ways and dropped a 31-23 decision to Greensburg; Danville. stopped Manual, 35-33; Broad Ripple lost to Greenfield, 38 to! 23, and Monrovia defeated Sacred Heart 24 to 19. It was another fourth-quar ter spurt that ruined the Blue Devils at Crawfordsville, Bill Swain and Chuck Benjamin, the latter previously termed a casualty for the week-end, flipped Shortridge ints a 17-16 lead at the end of the third quarter.
Athenians on the Go
But Crawfordsville stormed (he net successfully in the fourth period and ran the count to 27-21 before the Satans could recover. Crewfordsville led, 8-5 at the quarter, and 13-11 at the half. Bryan West, a charley-horse vietim, was limited to a single free toss by - the Athenians, while Dave Strack registered four field goals, Swain four fielders and a free toss and Benjamin three two-pointers and a pair of gift shots. It was just the opposite at Howe; the Hornets could thank a fourth-quarter rally for their triumph. and Don Williamson teamed to toss in 15 points in the last play period and erase Lawrence's 26-18 thirdquarter lead. Second - stringers = started [for Howe and immediately worked themselves into a 12-3 deficit before the regulars came to the rescue.

They have won six and lost seven. Ohio State, which has won and lost six games, will end its non-con-ference play tonight and. begin a seven-game campaign in the Big Ten race Monday night against Indiana University at Bloomington. The Buckeyes lost to Butler, 51 to 49, in Columbus, O., last Dec. 14 and complete the home and home series tonight. Probable starters for Ohio State tonight will be Dick Fisher, the team’s high scorer, and Freddie Miller, forwards; Jack McLain, center, and Jack Graf and Byron Jorgenson at the guard posts. For Butler, Coach Tony Hinkle ts| probably will start the same five he used against the Eastern schools. This would be Jim McCray and Wilalbur Schumacher, forwards; Bill Hamilton, center, and Capt. Bob Dietz and Lyle Neat, guards. Butler could not keep pace with St. Joseph’s final 10-minute scoring last night and lost out before 10,000 fans in Philadelphia’s Convention Hall. The clubs battled evenly during the early part of the first half until Jack Kraft connected for six consecutive points to give the Hawks a 20-to-14 half-time lead." _ Hamilton led a second-half Butler rally that saw the Bulldogs take a 27-to-26 lead and level the score at 32-all before Harry Kelleher hit from the side and gave St. Joseph a lead it never relinquished. The Hawks built up a 47-to-39
to score four points in the final 25 seconds. Boylan and Senesky each scored 13 points for St. Joseph. Capt. Dietz made 10 for Butler and ran his season's total to 126. Summary: St. L Joseplry gn. Butler “ug

Times Special
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 1.—It's|. Katy bar the doors at Purdue's Fieldhouse tonight as the Fireballers from Bloomington and the Big Ten Champion Boilermakers fight it out with a basketball. A height advantage has made Indiana the favorite, although offensively the scorching pace of the two is nearly equal. Two valuable rebounders—Dan Fisher and Fred Beretta—have been graduated and they have spelled the difference between this year’s Boilermakers and last year’s champions. To score, Purdue: must control the ball and that’s where Indiana's height comes in. Both Purdue defeats this season were at the hands of tall teams, Illinois and Wisconsin, despite ‘the high scoring of Purdue's Don Blanken and Frosty |S Sprowl. : Indiana will be playing under a handicap because of the loss of Paul Armstrong, senior guard, for two games because of scholastic ineligibility. He was the team’s leading scorer last season, However, Indiana's scoring is spread over more area than Purdue's. Both teams won “warm-up” games this week after a midsemester layoff. Indiana was rusty, but effective enough in downing Michigan Monday night. Purdue, too, was off, but defeated Detroit on Tuesday. In 64 previous games, Purdue has won 51 and Indiana 13. Only once in history—last year—has Indiana won both games in. the annual home and home series, Purdue has done it 20 times. The Big Ten Yace picks up a bit Monday night.

Crowd Tells Owls
They're Best, So Champions Fall
By J. E. O'BRIEN Times Staff Writer MUNCIE, Ind., Feb. 1.—Maybe it wasn’t according to Hoyle, but a full house beat five aces here last night. The full house was the Muncie fieldhouse and the five aces were the Hammond Tech Tigers. And when the .folks who filled the house told the kids who {ill Burris High School's basketball suits that they could beat Hammond Tech’s
state champions, the kids believed ‘em. With the game three-quarters gone, Hammond Tech led, 26-23— the same .Hammond Tech, mind you, that hadn't been beaten by anybody in its last 23 games. But the girls-in blue and gold
'who lead Burris yells asked the
crowd to inform the boys that “we're gonna win tonight!” So the wise young Owls of Burris rectified a few early mistakes, found they wouldn't be pinched for hallstealing and proceeded to walk away from the Calumet kids, 32-28,
Hammond Tech Loaded
Hammond Tech came into the Walnut St. ballroom fully equipped —with a crew of well-fed basketball players, a band of rooters, a supply of. cheer leaders and even a feminine accordionist. In the first quarter, however, Burris employed its Brown-Black color combination and was ahead at the first stop, 7 to 6. Big Stan Shimala was chief contributor to the Tech fund in the second quarter as the upstate Tigers picked up a point and went into a 14-14 tie. Shimala’s long glides under the basket were earning him frequent foul shots that were being costly to Burris. In the third quarter Bob Kramer had a one-man frolic at Burris’ expénse, got loose for four under the basket shots and made an equal number. It looked like the champ had the challenger on the ropes.
Burris Gets Going
But Bob Murray arched one through for Burris from near midfloor to open the final period, and Fred Grimes added two more hometown points with a turn-around flip. Burris now had Tech’s big boys stifled under the basket and were purloining the ball in the open territory. Grimes went all the way down the big block for another basket and put in his third after a hijacking job near midfloor. -Shimala’s final basket was just an anticlimax. All together it was one of Muncie’s biggest basketball nights. The fans couldn’t keep quiet, Francis Layden and Earl Townsend couldn't make their whistle-tooting heard, Coach Lou Birkett couldn't keep his seat on the Tech bench and we (Continued on Page 11)

More Than 3500 See 19 Fast Fights on Third Tourney Card
By EDDIE ASH
Although the knocker-outers fell off in quantity production in the third show of the Indianapolis Golden Gloves tournament at Butler
Fieldhouse last night, the amateur
fistic card was featured by severas
rip-roaring battles that hardly could be matched in the best of profese
sional circles.
A crowd of more than 3500 was kept on edge by the mitt throws
ing gladiators. ‘ Incidentally, the paid attendance set a record for The TimesLegion meets over the nine years of presentation of the leather-tossing classic. The fourth show of the current tourney is to be held at Butler University’s spacious Punch Bowl next Friday night and the finals on Friday, Feb. 14. In 19 bouts staged last night only four ended in knockouts or technical knockouts while 15 went to a decision over the three-round route. However, some of the decision affairs were humdingers for action and in one the defeated puncier barely got up off the floor to escape a knockout as the final bell sounded.
Hamlin Collides With Right
Ernest Roache of the Hill Community Center, a veteran who is competing in .this last year as a Golden Glover, came through with the night's “quickie” K. O. when he dumped Howard Hamlin, Leeper Boxing School, into the resin in 1 minute 35 seconds of the first round.
This was an Open. class middleweight bout and Hamlin was leading on points when he bumped into a dynamite righthander that lifted him off the floor and sent him spinning on his head. He was out cold and it was several minutes before restoratives brought him around. Where Roache got a kick like a mule puzzled his Hill Community Center teammates but he certainly uncorked one in Joe Louis fashion last night. Another Open class thriller was staged by Billy Jones, Leeper Boxing School middleweight, and William Henry Jennings of the Hill Community Center. They opened with a fast exchange of blows that were potent and after a flourish of gloves a Jennings’ tight to the jaw sent Jones down for the count of nine.
Jones emerged from the dust and used caution while regaining: his strength. He -kept Jennings away with a left jab while “resting,” but Jennings tore loose again and scored with -two right uppercuts.,
Fans See Great Fight
It was a great fight and the fans sensed they were looking in on a furious match. In the second round the adversaries launched the action with a fast exchange with Jones forcing the milling. He hooked a stinging left and during a wild exchenge of gloves Jennings hit the deck for the count of nine. Both lads were dripping i»lood ard Jones finally hit the target again with a left-handed uppercut haymaker and Jennings was counted out in 1 minute 29 seconds of the second round.
Two bouts in the Open heavyweight class were held and one was a rare treat for the customers. It was between Charles Duncan of Hill Community Center and Henry Freeman of the Leeper Boxing School, The big fellows lost no time in getting under way and it was a battle between left hands in the first canto. Duncan gained the advantage in the second session by landing the more effective blows and at one time it seemed that Freeman's knees sagged when he stopped a vicious left hook. The heavyweights kept up a swift pace in the third and last session and a hard right put Freeman on the floor for the count of eight. They still were swapping mitts at the bell and Duncan was awarded the decision. y
Watson Outpoints Hoyt In the other
eo I elgit ton, ‘Ind. decisioned George Hoyt
a tough decision for the two judges and the referee. Lee threw a lot of gloves but close ringsiders observed that Reed got in the more telling blows. At any rate, it was a bout filled with action. In the Novice class 135-pound die vision, Robert Woodson, Leeper Boxing School, and Thomas Gouch nour, Normal College of the Amer= ican Gymnastic Union, fought toe to toe for three’ rounds and the former won the decision. This bout was a dandy and had everything in it to please the onlookers. It was slambang stuff from the outset and was still going in that style when the timer sounded the end of action. Last fight on the menu was be= tween Johnny Antheny, Fayette Community Center, and Arnold Trunner, N. C. A. G, U. They are Novice welterweights. Tranner was upset twice in the first round but got up the second time and put Anthony in the resin for a “no count.” It was a furious exchange in the second canto and at one time both boys were on the canvas. The swift action continued in the third and last heat and the fans were pulled out of their seats ‘as the boys tore in and swapped punches. But Trunner was on the floor at the bell and Anthony was awarded the verdict on points. * Summaries of last night's bouts
