SM By Eddie Ash
WRITING in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, George Edmond points out that one of the big arguments among baseball club owners that has centered on the question of whether radio broadcasting of the games helped or hurt attendance may get an answer this year. “At any rate,” says Edmond, “there will be some basis of measurement, with no broadcasts from most of the American association parks.” . Continuing, the St. Paul scrivener tackles the question in this fashion: “Many club cwners have been pretty well satisfied that broadcasting of the games made new fans and, in the long run, helped attendance. Or at least they felt that the revenue received for broadcasting rights more than made up for what attendance losses there might be. There were other owners, however, who always insisted that broadcasting amounted to giving their show away for nothing and that it kept potential fans away from the parks. “When the sponsors of broadcasts from the American association parks decided to drop their contract with the league this“year it meant that all the clubs were out quite a chunk of money. They'll have to attract several thousand more fans through the season to make up for it. “The trouble is that, if there is an attendance gain, or attendance loss, it will be impossible to say definitely just what part the lack of radio broadcasts played. In a normal year it might, but this is not a normal vear. So the argument will probably go on as usual.
Game Broadcasts Made Women Fans
“THE BIG ARGUMENT for the radio was that it made women fans, and it probably did. Baseball long ago recognized the value of making women fans. That was the purpose behind the free days for women. The theory was that the ladies’ day fans came back on Sundays, bringing their boy friends. “But, having established one day a week as free for the gals, the magnates didn't know when to stop. They went from one day a week to two, and three. That gave the gals about as much free baseball as most of them had time for, with the result that they weren't seen in appreciable numbers on other days.
2 ® =
= = “THERE IS also some argument about whether the radio made women spectator fans, or women radio fans. Some have been known to say that they got more enjoyment listening to the broadcasts, with all the plays explained, than from watching the play and having to figure it out for themselves. “From the standpoint of club owners, depending on attendance at the parks, there is little value in making that kind of fan.”
Indians Have Faith in Radio
SO FAR only three A. A. clubs have announced radio broadcasts for 1943. ... These are Louisville, Kansas City and Milwaukee who succeeded in lining up new sponsors. ... The Indianapolis club management believes the radio increases fan interest and also increases attendance if a team delivers on the field. . . . The Indians hope to line up a sponsor to “air” this year’s games but as of this date nothing definite has developed.

Colonels Beat Saints, 25-0, in 1924
THERE WAS a belief that Milwaukee's 24-to-3 defeat of St. Paul set a mark as the worst defeat ever inflicted in American association play. . . . It didn't. ... The most humiliating defeat to be found in the A. A. records was suffered by St. Paul, but Louisville did the inflicting on Aug. 15, 1924, defeating the Saints, 25 to 0. That was in a nine-inning game, while the Brewers’ 24-to-3 win was in seven innings (second half of a double-header). . .. Had the game gone the full route there might have been a new record set.

Indians Go On Road for Brief Jaunt
By EDDIE ASH
The weatherman kayoed the Indians again today and Al Schiensker, Tribe secretary, said thai the Indianapolis-Columbus series finale at Victory field tonight had been canceled. He said the game would be made up in the next series with the Red Birds. Thus, the local baseball fans lose an opportunity to see the Bushmen in action again until Friday night when they return here after a brief road trip. Kansas City will furnish the opposition here and it will be a “ladies night.” Saturday, the Tribe is slated to go to Camp Atterbury where they will face either the soldiers or Kansas City in an exhibition contest. The boys in camp are scheduled to furnish pitchers for both teams. Tonight's canceled game was to have made up for the one that was washed out here Saturday but the weatherman changed the Indians’ plans once again. The Redskins are to invade Louisville tomorrow and the Red Birds are to go to Toledo. The Tribesters are to return after three games in Louisville, and the coming of the Blues will mark the start of the season's first eastern invasion by the American association’s western clubs. In yesterday's first game big John Hutchings, righthander, gooseegged the league-leading Red Birds, 1 to 0, holding them to five blows, all singles. He struck out. six, walked one and hit one batsman.
Barrett Is Stingy
In the second game—seven innings by agreement—Frances (Red) Barrett, righthander, held the Indians to four hits and Columbus won, 2 to 1, to get an even break. Earl Reid worked for the Tribe and was solved for nine hits. The games were played under adverse weather conditions, damp and on the frigid side. There was a light rain during the first tilt. The paid attendance of 2405 surprised the management of both clubs. They didn't expect that many to brave the raw day to watch baseball. The clubs decided to buck the weather and play to prevent the players from losing their physical edge, and also because of the fact Indianapolis already has six postponements and Columbus five. Yesterday's opener was a dandy mound struggle. Ken Burkhart, held the Indians to five hits, all singles, and one run. He stepped aside for a pinch hitter in the eighth and Bill Beckman, righthander, blanked the home team in the eighth. In Columbus last Monday, Burkhart and Beckman collaborated in holding the Indians to three hits in 13 innings, winning, 1to 0 Fairly Scores Haslin
The lone marker in yesterday's first game was scored in the fourth. Mickey Haslin led off with a single, Stewart Hofferth sacrificed, Haslin was held at second on Fred Vaughn's infield out and Carl Fairly delivered in the clutch by ramming a single to center, scoring Haslin, The Indians lost a run in the first stanza when Haslin’s squeeze play bunt rolled foul as Gil English was galloping in from third. Haslin then flew to McLain in center for the third out. The Tribesters also lost a run in the fourth. Fairly was on second with two down when Hutchings lined a single to right. Fairly raced for the plate, but in sliding he failed to touch the rubber and was tagged out. The Birds got their first man up on base in four of the nine innings but Hutchings had too much on the ball when the visitors threatened. They came close in the second heat, however. . Bergamo opened with a single and moved to second when McLain was struck by a pitched ball.

Greco Earns Two Outdoor Bouts in N. Y.
By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent MONTREAL, May 10.—The auxiliary service division of the Canadian army was being lavishly congratulated today for the magnificent success of its first professional fight promotion — the Johnny Greco-Terry Young brawl at the forum Saturday night. The 10-round lightweight contenders’ battle was successful from every angle, although the gratifying crowd of 9367 and gate of approximately $19,000 set no records. Pvt. Greco of the Canadian army won the unanimous decision after one of the best fights ever staged in the dominion. Jolting Johnny's 20th straight victory earned him two big outdoor bouts at New York this summer,
Extensive Broadcast
The scrap—promoted by the army to stimulate recruiting, to help the army athletic fund, to bolster civilian and military morale, and to strengthen the bonds of friendship between the United States and Canada — was broadcast over the most extensive international radio hook-up used since the Louis-Conn battle in 1941. Service men throughout Canada and on foreign fields listened in on one of the best bouts ever put on the air. The Canadian army was delighted with Greco's grand showing as he fought in his native city for the first time in 17 months—for the first time gince he rose to puglistic prominence. It felt justifiably proud that 19-year-old Johnny earned the right to carry the maple leaf emblem twice into outdoor New York rings this summer—once as challenger for the world’s lightweight crown.
Match With Armstrong?
Mike Jacobs of New York, who witnessed the bout, said he hoped to match Greco and Henry Armstrong, former triple champion, at the Polo Grounds June 11. After that he will give Johnny a title shot at the winner of the bout between Champion Beau Jack and Bob Montgomery, scheduled for Madison Square Garden May 21. Saturday night's tilt lived up to advance notices. Bull-shouldered Young of New York made a great fight, but Greco's short, smashing hooks to head and body took just enough steam out of Tough Terry to prevent the latter’s winning. Young gave Greco a thorough trouncing in the first round, but Johnny's battering attack in the second session slowed up the New Yorker. Young never completely recaptured his early sparkle, although he did win the fourth and eighth rounds and fight on even terms in the ninth and tenth. Greco, at 1.36, had an advantage of two pounds.
Thought a Draw
Lt. Benny Leonard of the U. 8S. service, former lightweight champion, did an excellent job of refereeing. He said the
35| fight was so close he might have
called it a draw if he had a vote. But in Montreal the referee does not vote. Three judges determined the decision. The United Press agreed with them, socring five rounds for Greco, three for Young and two even.

Trainer Says Count Fleet Is Another Exterminator
By JOE WILLIAMS Times Staff Writer NEW YORK, May 10.—Putting one little word after another and whatever became of the “Knock the Favorite Down” club? The answer is The Count has practically forced the eternal optimists to surrender. The race may not always be to the swift, but here lately it’s

Looked all right up front but not in the back.

Track Sectionals May Bring Number of Broken Records
By UNITED PRESS
>
and the Hoosier high school track
fan who didn't think Ft. Wayne North Side is a cinch to repeat as state champion had one thing in common—they weren't there again today. With sectionals coming up next week-end, the fans centered atten jion on possible broken records rather than on possible contenders for the Redskins’ throne. North Side passed what its coach expected would
be its toughest test of the season Saturday in winning the Northern Indiana conference crown again for its 39th straight victory while Franklin and Evansville Central also climbed onto conference thrones. All major conference titles now have been decided, and most champions already have had first-hand glimpses of Redskin heels in regular season meets. Anderson, winner of the North Central crown Friday, lost to North Side in the Kokomo relays—but only by one point. The Indians, on the basis of that meet and good season-long performance, were e pected to be the chief threat at the state mget to North Side's twoyear reign.
Well Behind Redskins
Terre Haute Wiley, Wabash valley champ, finished well behind the Redskins in the Southport rel Neither Franklin nor REvansw rela. Central was on the Red schedule, but comparative times indicate that neither is a major threat, North Side scored 49 points in the N. I. C. meet at East Chicago Saturday, six points ahead of sec-ond-place Hammond high. Mishawaka was third with 34 points. Freeman Longardner turned in record performances in both hurdles. He set a new record in the 120-yard highs, with a mark of 15.1 seconds, one-tenth of a second under the mark Art Egbert of Gary Lew Wallace established in 1038. In the 220yard lows Longardner tied the 23.2 second mark set by North Sides Mike Bojinoft last year. Ashley Hawk, North Sides allAmerican miler and half-miler, took his specialties and Claeys of Misha waka won both dashes to becoine other double winners.
Evansville Central Wins
Other scores: Gary Emerson, 26; South Bend Central, 10%; East Chi= cago Roosevelt, 10; Goshen, 10; Hammond Tech, 9; La Porte, 8; Michigan City, 8; Gray Froebel, 4; Hammond Clark, 3; Gary Lew Wal« lace, 3; Elkhart, 214, and Bast Chis cago Washington, 2. In the Southern Indiana conference meet at Evansville, Central's 46 points outdistanced Evansville Bosse, second with 37, and third place New Albany's 34 poin Princeton, Boonville and Vincenn Bloomington, Huntingburg and Jas per finished in that order. Franklin took its first South Cens« tral crown by edging Columbus and Rushville. Franklin scored 41 points to 36%: for Columbus and 35 for Rushville. Shelbyville, Seymour, Martinsville, Connersville, Gr castle and Greensburg also po | peted. Indiana high schools will compete at 15 sectional centers either friday night or Saturday afternoon, with first and second-place individual winners and winning relay teams to come to Indianapolis for the state finals May 22.
Middies Capture Golfing Crown
PRINCETON, N. J, May 10 (U. P.).—The Navy golf team today held the 1943 Eastern Intercollegiate association championship, succeeding Yale, The Middies swept from a point behind to win all six afterndon twosomes and register a 7-2 vice tory over Princeton yesterday, The navy squad had previously topped eight other entries in the opening day's medal play round. The best played match of the closing day was between Bill Campbell of Princeton and Jim Stephens of Navy, who battled to the last green. The Midshipman sank a sliding 20-foot putt on the 17th to stay all even and then holed a birdie three on the 18th to win.
