SPORTS. By Eddie Ash

FROM THE baseball stove league hopper maintained by the American Association Press Bureau: In

{the series played between the so-called natural rivals of

the Troutman loop, during the past five years, very ‘definite superiortiy has been established in every in-

stance by one of the competing teams. The natural rivals of the league are St.- Pay! and Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Kansas City, Louisville and Indifnapolis and Toledo .and Columbus. . ... Over the, five-year stretch, 1936 to 1040, inclusive, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Indianapolis and Columbus have had much the better of the arguments, Minneapolis and Kansas City each have the largest margin over their opponents, having defeated St. Paul and Milwaukee, re- - spectively, 67 games to 41, for a game-edge of 26. Columbus has racked up a total of 65 victories over Toledo during the half-decade, while los osibe but 45 games to the Hens, for a margin of 20 contests. e Indianapolis-Louisville series has been the closest, but even here the advantage is pronounced, the Tribe having copped 62 decisiods to 47 for the Colonels, a difference of 15 games. During the five-year potion, Mifmsapolis had held the upper hand over St. Paul on four gccasions, with the fifth-year a tie. The Millers’ biggest margin was in 1937, when they took 15 out of 22 games from St. Paul. .| . . In 1937 they won 15 and dropped seven, while in 1940 the edge was 14 games to eight. The Millers won only by 12 to 10 in 1936, while in 1938 the two clubs divided 20 games, with two unplayed. Kansas City has a similar record against Milwaukee, winning ' four season’s series and tying the fifth, . . . The deadlock came in the first year of the period, when each won 11 games. . . . Since that time the Brewers have neyer been able to hold their own with the Blues.

Blues Have Their Own Why

IN 1937 the Missouri aggregation finished on the big end of the score 14 times and on the short end eight times. . In 1938 the edge was slim, 11 games|/to 10, while one contest ‘was never laye p 4 {939 the first of the Blues championship years, the biggest advantage was run up, 16 games to five, with one not played In 1940 the edge again was pronounced 15 games to seven. After being held even by| Toledo in 1938 the Columbus Red Birds have turned back nerd of the Mud Hens for four con=

secutive seasons.i. . ..Th 11, while in the next two seasons the edge was but 12 to 10. = An oddity in this connection is that Columbus won the flag in 1937 and finished seventh in 1988, but had the same margin over the Hens each year. ” » ” | 8 ” 2 IN 1939 the Red Birds fein their advantage over the Hens to 13 games to nine, while 1940 found them recording by far their biggest lead over the Maumee City contingent, the Birds winning 17 games while the| Hens were able to garner but five victories. + The Indianapolis- -Louisville series i8 slightly different from the other three in that it is the Ls one in which the clubs have not split even during the five seasons. In the other three instances, also, the team which holds the decided advantage never lost |a series to the other, while in this instance Louisville was succesful in breaking the. strangle hold which the Tribe had held, during the 1940 season.

Hoosiers Ahead Four Years in Five

INDIANAPOLIS had won, for four consecutive years, starting with 12 games to 10 in 1936. . In 1937 the edge was 13 games to eight, with one unplayed, hn in 1938 it was the largest for the

‘period, the Indians copping 15 to 7 for the Colonels. In 1939 the

Tribe took 13 games and the Colonels nine. The tables turned in 1940 and the shoe was on the other foot, for this’ time Louisville established its superiority with 13 games going into the win column, while nine were dropped to the Hoosiers. Thus three ties constitute’ the closest the American Association rivals have come, while the 17 to 5 advantage of Columbus over Toledo in 1940 is the largest margin one rival held over the other during the five-year period. |

32 Winners Will Get Chance for Crowns

The ' Iadianapolis Golden Gloves army strips for action again tonight in the Butler Fieldhouse arena and at stake will be the’ right of the winners to compete in The TimesLegion tournament finals next Friday. After tonight's gloves cannonading 16 lads will remain in the Open class and 1£ in the Novice, and they will battle it out next week for the division tifles. Some of the best action of the amateur fistic. meet apparently is on tap for tonight's Fieldhouse sports goers as all trainers have reported thei proteges at the peak of condition alter weeks’ of hard drilling. Three '[wo-Minute Rounds

Twenty. or more bouts are to be staged, #ccording to the best éstimate of the tournament officials made todsy after checking the list of elegibles against the reports on the boxers sent in by the club managers ard trainers. The semi-finals program is scheduled to oper at 30 o'clock and with the matche; being run off in swift fashion. All bouts are scheduled over the ilhree-round distance, two

of two Judges and the referee. Drawings for the night's bouts are to be nade after the weigh-in and physical examinations and won’t be completed before 6:30. The weigh-in at the. Fieldhouse dressing room is to start at 4:30 o'clock under the direction of Frank Collman, ¢aairman of the tourney committee, Drs. Will Long and Morris Thornas will be on hand at 4:30 to start the physical checkups. On the Upgrade The slainbang boys have given a good account of themselves in the three early shows and the grade of boxing has stepped up from week to week. Orn the first night 14 knockouts were challeed up, 10 on the second night and four last week. The contestants improve - their punching, timing and cunning as the weeks ‘pass and tonight’s fistic menu probably will measure up in thrills and excitement to anything that has gone before. Club rivalry entered the picture in a large way this year and increased the tempo of the battles. The Novice class fighters have shared the spotlight with the Open contenders and in some instances supplied more action than the experienced mitt throwers. There will be a lot of action in both classes tonight if all eligibles report as promised, meet the weight | requirements and pass the physical examinatiois. Keep On Keen Edge

Central Seeks Victory No. 12

The Indiana Central Greyhounds will risk their perfect Indiana College Conference record tomorrow night when they play Ball State at Muncie. The Greyhounds have won seven loop games. Central will be seeking its 12th victory in 13 starts, having dropped only e game this season, to the Illinois State Normal five at Bloomington, Ill. Central beat Ball State in their first meeting this season. Not since 1930 has either Ball State or Indiana Central won both games on the year’s schedule. Ball State achieved the feat in the 1930-31 season.

Phillips probably will fill in with Ned Bussard of Peru, a junior, or Gerald McCarty of New Albany, sophomore. Other likely starters for the Cardinals are Ray Ashley of Winchester, forward; Dick Stealy, Goshen, center, and Clayton Smith, Ft. Wayne, and Ernie Sample of Goshen, guards.

Crowe of Franklin, forwards; Lee Perry of Columbus, center, and Angus Nicoson of Ashboro and Ray Bloomingdale of Bristol, at guards.

board tonight will consider a list

of candidates to succeed Elmer Layden, who resigned as athletic director and head football coach at Notre Dame to become czar of the National Football League. The board will pass.on its recommendations to the Rev. J. Hugh O'Donnell, Notre Dame’s president. Father O'Donnell said he would have his man selected before March 1. . Action of the board probably will be confidential and there still was no official hint to Layden’s successor. On the campus, Lawrence T.

Badgers’ Lair

Twelve Butler Bulldogs were in Wisconsin today barking for two much-needed basketball victories against Marquette tonight at Milwaukee and the University of Wisconsin tomorrow night at Madison. The point-a-minute Bulldogs, winners in eight of 15 games, left by train this morning to meet Marquette, who has won but one game all season, a 40-t0-30 decision over Wisconsin, present Big Ten leader. The Badgers are pacing the Western Conference with five con-

secutive triumphs. They have lost to Minnesota, 44 to 27. Coach Tony Hinkle announced this morning that his probable starting lineup for the two games would be James McCray and Wilbur Schumacher, forwards; Hamilton, center, and Capt. Bob Dietz and Lyle Neat, guards. Dietz should return home the holder of a new all-time university scoring record. -He has 154 points for the season and needs but five more to break Oral Hildebrand’s three-year record of 463. Hamilton, Butler center, has the big defensive problem of guarding two high scoring pivot men. Against the Hilltoppers, who have lost their last six tilts, he will guard William John Joseph Charles Patrick Michael Rogers (he’s called “Buck” for short), while his Wisconsin opponent will be Gene Englund, who towers four inches above the six-foot mark and is leading all Big Ten players in scoring.
