* SPORTS...

By Eddie Ash

THIS MATTER of baseball spring training has grown into big and serious business for both major and * minor league clubs, points out Dan Daniel, New York ~~ World-Telegram diamond expert who has been treking

. South with teams for lo, these many years.

The time was when spring training was listed as 80 per cent ballyhoo and 20 conditioning. . . . But in the last 15 years stress has been placed on the exercises of the players. ... In the last five years this has become most emphatic. The Indianapolis club used to assemble its players here and _ ~travel Soutn in two Pullmans. . , . It was great stuff for ballyhaoo., _ ... Now the players go from. homes to camp and lose no time in buckling down to work . ... and play themselves through a long series of exhibition games. : With the growth of chain-store systems, major league teams no. longer invite unknowns to their training camps. . . . The rookies are tested men with established reputations—lads like Phil Rizzuto and " Gerald Priddy of the Yankees. . . . The humpty-dumpties who cluttered up the camps years ago, and rarely produced a real ball player, are not in evidence nowadays. In recent years an old fiction has been well-nigh destroyed—the fable of the determined kid who hitch-hiked to camp and made a job for himself. . . , The story of the young man who, uninvited and unknown, thumbed his way South and then knockeéd an astonished manager flat on his back with a display of baseball genius must be set down as a figment of imagination.

Huge Outlay for Big League Clubs

FOR A MAJOR LEAGUE club, a spring training -trip runs into serious money. . . . The outlay is between $50,000 and $25,000. . . . If is believed the Brooklyn Dodgers, with 50 exhibitions listed for two squads and a five-week stay in a swank hotel in Havana, will set a ‘- new high of around $60,000. . . . However, they are doing very well financially for the games scheduled at Havana. Just how much Larry MacPhail is getting in Cuba is not known. . . . But £d Barrow of the Yankees says he turned down an offer of $10,000 and all expenses from and to St. Petersburg and in Cuba for = three games in Havana. |

8 u ” 8

TO BREAK EVEN financially on a spring training trip is the . -dream and ambition of every baseball club. . . . But rarely is this: feat accomplished. . . . In the majors, the Yankees and the Dodgers do it with the help of three games at Ebbets Field. , , . They usually come into Flatbush in the red. | : Years back, when training trips were comparatively modest and .the Giants were the kings of all baseball, they made money spring after spring. . . , John J. McGraw was an attraction in himself. Quite often McGraw became involved in a fight and Dixie cus« fomers packed the parks with the hope that they would see him | knocked out. . . . They did not like McGraw down there. . . . But they admired his skill and courage. 1

~ Majors Prefer Wednesday for Night Ball

WEDNESDAY NIGHT will be the most popular date for night . games in the major leagues this year. ... The two big league schedules show that 31 of the 77 after-dark engagements are booked for . - Wednesdays, with 16 on Friday nights, 13 on Thursdays, 12 on Tuesdays and five on Mondays. . . . Twenty of the National League’s 42 night games and 11 of the American League’s 35 have been scheduled for Wednesday nights. : The St. Louis Cardinals will be the big Friday night team, that - club’s management having set six of its seven home night games for that evening. . . . The Browns, who use the same park and same lights, are partial to Tuesday night, setting four of their seven home games for that evening.

Bend Central slashed the Slicers, 51-18, to annex the Eastern NIHSC title. It was La Porte’s first home loss since January of last year.

Coach Johnny Wooden had said a victory by eight points would surprise him, Muncie Burris copped its first Central Indiana Conference crown without blemish by downing Peru, 33-27. .

TONIGHT’S GAMES

Southport at Broad Ripple. Howe at Silent Hoosiers. Crispus Attucks at Smithville. Onarga at Park.

—_s ~—

It’s becoming increasingly evident that Marion County schools are going to put up one of their stiffest fights against Indianapolis competition in the approaching sectional basketball tournament at the Tech gym, Right now it appears that four at least must be rated as strong contenders—namely Decatur Central, Southport, Ben Davis and Franklin Township. The latter two added city scalps last night as Indianapolis teams experienced one of their worst evenings of the current campaign. Of seven games played, only Crispus Attucks was victorious, the Tigers defeating Wayne of Lockland, 0., 32 to 22. : Ben Davis, conqueror of Decatur Central a week ago, cut short what Continental fans hoped would be a late Washington winning streak, 31-27, and Franklin Township flashed past Broad Ripple, 43 to 32. Lapel never allowed Shortridge the lead and won at Anderson, 36-29. Shelbyville downed Tech, 33 to 24; Speedway chalked up the third victory for the county by nudging Howe, 28 to 17, and the Silent Hoosiers slipped past Sacred Heart, 30 to 29. After Petercheff and Berry nad tossed Washington into a 10-7 lead at the quarter, the Giants came back to score three rapid-fire field goals and throw the game into a 14-14 tie at the half. The Giants spurted in the third quarter to lead, 20-14, before long Continental tosses brought Washington to within a pair of points of Ben Davis at the three-quarter mark. Buis’ two baskets in the fourth quarter iced the game for the county invaders. Ben Davis scored 13 field goals to Washingten’s 10, and: hit five of 13 gift tosses as compared to Washing(Continued on Page 11)

Hershey B'ars Plan to Bottle Caps’ Offense

The Hershey B’ars will move into the Coliseum against our Capitals tomorrow night in the midst of a campaign to tone their hockey affairs down. The second-place B’ars seemed to be succeeding the last time out when they blanked the Pittsburgh Hornets, 3-0. That happened Thursdd¥y, but in three games previous to that the B’ars had scored 13 goals to the opposition’s 13. That's hardly air-tight hockey. It remains to be seen whether goalie Nick Damore and mates can retain their tightfistedness against Cleveland this evening and Indianapolis tomorrow. Besides Damore, the B'ars defensemen tomorrow night will be Jack Shewchuck, Hank Lauzon, Orville Roulston, Roger Jenkins and Red Hamill, while the lines will be moulded from the following: Bobby Kirk, Harry Frost, Wally Kilrea, Howie Mackie, Joe Krol, Pat McReavy, Gordon Pettinger, Gordon Bruce and Vince Germann. The goals that won’t go in remain the No. 1 woe in the Indianapolis camps and a remedy was still sought in practice sessions yesterday and today. Cyclone Bill Jennings, our speedster, accompanied Manager Herbie Lewis to Detroit last night for the celebration of Jack Adams night. Although Jennings played with the Red Wings, Herbie was to see that he got back to Indianapolis for tomorrow night's game. The rest of the Caps are available and ready.

Cochran Duels

300 Champion

CHAMPAIGN, Ill, Feb. 15 (U. P.). —Indiana’s Roy Cochran and Gene Littler of Nebraska, two of the nation’s best quarter-milers, finally meet tonight in a special 300-yard duel featuring the 18th University of Illinois relay carnival. Littler, defending champion, tied the American indoor record in winning the special 300 last season, but Cochran failed to compete in anything but the relays. A leg injury to Cochran, who has run the fastest quarter ever turned indoors, kept them from meeting

| during the outdoor season last year.

Cochran indicated he has fully recovered from the injury by winning two important 600-yard races during the Eastern campaign last month. A field of 30 colleges and universities, headed by Michigan's perennial Big Ten champions, opened preliminaries in the huge Illinois Armory this afternoon. Finals were scheduled tonight.

Jake Schaefer of Chicago, 50 to 34 in 39 innings. This was the Hoppe who last year defeated 20-consecu-tive opponents to carry home to New York the big gold trophy: the same Hoppe who collapsed at the billiard table under a severe attack of influenza only six weeks ago. Across the table was his old opponent, runner-up to him last year and fighting to tie Hoppe for the lead in the championship match. “Young Jake” alone among the 17 contestants had a mathematical chance to defeat Hoppe for the title. But it was only ‘a mathematical chance, for thre champion proved superior in every department. They started even and at the end of the third block the score was tied at three points. Hoppe scored a double in the fourth round and then came the coup that bowled over the challenger—a run of 11 in the fifth, after Schaefer had missed i difficult masse. It began with a ridge shot and seemed to run on effortlessly. : Schaefer tried to mateh it, but missed after he had run five and from that point on it was a tussle for the advantage that always stayed with Hoppe. Six times Schaefer played for a safety, hoping. to- defeat Hoppe by leaving the difficult shots. But Hoppe each time turned the tables on him by countering with another safety, except in the 31st inning when he accep’ed Schaefer’s chal-

history of the local event. Strife shook the spacious arena as the boys gave their all from bell to bell, and during several of the sizzling bouts the crowd was keyed to emotional heights of sports frenzy. : The attendance topped by far any Times-Legion show of the past, as the official box office count was 6584, and the Open .class heavyweight battle alone was worth the admission price. Sixteen bouts were held, eight in the Open class, eight in the Novice, and after the night's final encounter every participant on the program received a prize. Open class champions will form the Indianapolis team in the Tournament of Golden Gloves Champions at Chicago Feb. 24, 25, 26, in competition with teams from 43 other cities, and on last night's performances the Hoosier capital is sure to have powerful representation in the Windy City.

“Quickie” Over in 25 Seconds

In the 16 combats last night 12 lasted the regulation distance of three rounds and four ended in knockouts, or technical knockouts. The “quickie” occurred in the Novice class when Herbert Broadwell, Normal College of the North American Gymnastic Union, flattened Dan Roth, Leeper Boxing School, light heavyweight, in 25 seconds of the first round. Broadwell swarmed over his opponent with a barrage of lefts and rights and the lights dimmed on Roth in short order. The tournament had a glorious finale as the Open heavyweights collided. Charles Duncan, Hill Community Center, got the nod over Jethro Jeffers, Leper Boxing School, after three sessions of furious milling.

The second canto saw no letdown in the pace as gloves swished and landed. Whereas Duncan appeared the winner in the first round, Jeffers picked up ground in the second, but ,in the third Duncan moved in front again. It was toe-to-toe fighting all the way but with (Continued on Page 11)

Injuries Peril Purdue in Tilt At Ohio State

By UNITED PRESS

Injuries may cost Purdue its Big Ten basketball championship at Ohio State tonight. The champions, defeated twice Blanken a doubtful starter and Capt. Bob Igney almost certain to ride the bench. Both Blanken and Igney were injured against Chicago a week ago and without them the Boilermakers haven't looked the same in nightly drills this week. Wisconsin’s league leaders (6-1) play Illinois (4-3), Minnesota (4-2) plays at Indiana (5-1), Iowa (3-3 plays Michigan (1-6) at Iowa City, and Northwestern (1-5) moves across town to meet Chicago (0-6) in tonight’s full schedule. Almost equal pressure is on Purdue, Wisconsin and Indiana. As champion, Purdue is on the spot each time it comes out on the floor. The same goes for Wisconsin since its six-game winning streak shot ‘the Badgers into the lead. Indiana, as pre-season favorite, is a natural target, \

h J

Bucks on Rebound

Of the -three, Purdue is the most likely to fall. In addition to being crippled, the Boilermakers run into a team in the rebound. Ohio State snapped its three-game string of defeats by dumping Iowa and is ready for Purdue. The Boilermakers lost two in a row before starting a comeback that now has them in fourth place with four victories in six games. One more defeat and they will be dropped from titie consideration. Illinois is in better shape to meet Wisconsin than it might have been a week ago. Loss of Walter Evers and Henry Sachs disrupted the Illini offense, but an easy game at Chicago and a week of work in practice has helped them recover. Wisconsin, led by center Gene Engiund, is a favorite, but looking for surprises. Hoosiers Fill Gap

Indiana had a midyear loss in Pau! Armstrong, but the Hoosiers, better equipped with reserves, filled in the vacancy without much difficulty and can step into the lead if Illinois upsets Wisconsin. Armstrong now is playing professional basketball. Northwestern’s run of defeats ought to be broken against Chicago. All the Wildcats have to do is stop be-spectacled Joe Stampf, who rapidly is shooting his way into Chicago record-books alongside the great Bill Haarlow of a few years back. No team yet has stopped ~Stampf, although his scoring records haven't come near Haarlow’s.

Bulldogs Seek

Vengeance in Marquette Tilt

The Butler Bulldogs, winners of only eight of 17 games this year, meet Marquette University's basketballers, tonight at 8 o'clock at the Fieldhouse. It will be a return game since the Hilltoppers won, 41 to 37, a week ago in Milwaukee and one of five games still remaining on the Butler schedule. Coach Tony Hinkle intimated yesterday that his probable starting five for the Bulldogs would be Wilbur Schumacher and Jim McCray, forwards; Bill Hamilton, center, and Capt. Bob Dietz and Lyle Neat, guards. Dietz, who established a new alltime individual scoring record for three years of play, will resume his quest for a new one-year mark. He has 164 to date.

Marquette Seeks Third

+ In an attempt to win its third ball game of the entire season, Marquette probably will have Michael

Poja and Eugene O’Brien, forwards; William John Joseph Patrick Michael (Bill) Rogers at center, and Bill Komenich and Tom McCarthy, guards. In Komenich, Coach Bill Chand~ ler has one of the best college play= ers 0f the year. He is from Gary, stands 6 feet 3 inches and weighs 210 pounds. Butler will meet DePauw next Tuesday night at Greencastle; play Wabash at the Fieldhouse next Saturday night; entertain Notre Dame, Feb. 24, and close the season against Franklin, there, Feb. 26. The other chief game on the state college front this evening is Indiana Central's invasion of Hanover, where the Greyhounds are seeking their ninth straight Indiana Conference victory. Hanover; already loser to Cenfral once this season, has been attempting to bolster its defense to match a speedy basket drive.

Irish Win No. 10

Last night Notre Dame ran up its 10th straight victory, defeating New York University, 41-38, before 17,831 fans in New-¥ork’s Madison Square Garden. Apparently outclassed by the Irish early in the game, N. Y. U, came to life in the second period to tie the score at 25-all. oo The count changed hands fou times in the next few minutes before the Shamrocks went ahead on a basket by Jim Carens, and successfully fought off every attempt by the desperate Gotham five that suffered its third loss in 13 games. The Violets threatened briefly in the first period when the score was tied {four times and the New Yorkers even held a momentary lead on baskets by Ralph Kpalowitz, Ben Auerbach and Red Stevens. Then Notre Dame's Bob Smith hit, and the Irish fought to an 18-12 lead at the half. George Sobek led Notre Dame . with 15 points, while Stevens paced N. ¥. U. with 11. In the Hoosier conference Taylor’ defeated Anderson, 50-44, in an overtime battle, while Manchester downed Valparaiso, 30-27, Other league games besides the Indians Central-Hanover clash tonight are: Ball State at Earlham, Franklin at Evansville and Taylor at *Huntington.
