Talking
It Over
WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK. Nov. 6.
AT the end of those flyweight
fights in the Garden Monday
night Corporal Izzy Schwartz, who
Just had lost a decision to one
Eugene Huat, a Frenchman, mak
ing his American bow, shuffled over
to Joe Humphries, the announcer,
and made emotional speech with
him. Humphries cocked a large
fluttering ear at the corporal as if
to make sure he had heard what he
heard and then as the customers
were movin" toward the exits the
announcer bade them to tarry whilst
he delivered an oration. Which was
as follows:
* a a
and h b**an. *‘l
hire the honor to announce to yon that
this rrand little fiehtlnr man 'landing:
here by my side has derided to rive up
flrbtinr Tonirht was his last fight. He
kt quit for rood.”
mam
The corporal’s theatrical retire
ment had the effect of plunging the
big hall into a momentary silence
and through this silence a piping
voice broke “Izzy, if you had had
arv brains you would have quit in
the sixth round."
u a u
AND while this crack was not as
gracious or heart warming as
it might have been in view’ of the
solemnity of the occasion, it was not
altogether immaterial or wholly the
wrong thing to say. For if Izzy, who
is a serious looking little fellow, with
eye- like Eddie Cantor lithographs
and ears with a w ing spread of vast
yardage, had intended to make this
his last fight, there was hardly any
sense in taking the severe beating
he did.
a a a
Tb* Frenchman pounded liet fore and j
aft with solid rlpht and left hand jolts all
th* way and hsd him hanelnr on in four
of the ten round' and whan It was over
th'-'-e was no question as to who was the
be , "'’ man. Ot the worse man, for that
matter.
m m m
Mons. Huat came here rather
furiously ballyhooed as the result of
having knocked out Spider Pladner
and Frenchie Berlanger and there
were many people who figured he
would knock out the Corporal. He
didn't even knock him down, but
that doesn't mean he isn’t a pretty
good fighter.
ana
PERHAPS Huat isn’t a second j
Jimmy Wilde, as the press j
agents said he was, or even a |
twenty-second one, but that should
not be held against him: he appears
to have the makings of a fine hitter
and when some of the crudities of
his technique are ironed out he
ought to make an interesting per- ;
former.
He is a tallish fellow, with tawny hair,
pinrhrd-in cheeks, and piercing looking
eyes that seem to burn with fever. He
flights in a crouch and with his right fore
arm held across his face as a guard and
shoots a straight right after the manner of
Carpentler. He is already too big for the
flvwrights and wilt be mingling with the
bantams before the winter is over.

to trade “socks" in the ten-round

Six bouts were staged in the
Armory ring election night and
nearly every scrap was a battle.
Johnny Nassir, Terre Haute, and
Georgie Nate, South Bend, made
the hit of the evening in their
eight-rounder, Nassir winning on
points during a heated struggle
that proved a sparring match
de luxe.
Nate Ahead in First
Nate smothered Nassir with gloves
in the first round, but set too fast
a pace and Nassir made a come
back that carried him to victory in
the long run. The lads were fast,
willing and aggressive and the cus
tomers who enjoy real boxing got
the treat of the season.
Nassir lacks a haymaker, but has
everything else, including coolness
under fire. These lads still were
fighting like a couple of cats when
the bout ended.
In another eight-rounder Charlie
Court shaded Lon Lovelace in a
slugging bee of give and take that
saw both punished, with Lovelace
stopping the more blows. Lon will

to National by Purchase
Indianapolis Baseball Product, Veteran With American
Association, Gets Chance in Major League.
BY EDDIE ASH
Indianapolis once again gets some
big league fame —Umpire Ted Mc-
Grew has graduated. The product
of the local east end, for many years
a player in the minors and later an
umpire in the Pacific Coast League
and American Association, has been
purchased from the A. A. by the
National League, it became known
today.
McGrew’s climb to the big show
gives Indianapolis two umpires "up
there,” Harry Geisel, also of Indian
apolis. having been a member of the
American League staff for several
years. Geisel went to the junior
major loop from the International
League.
McGrew hails from the Ownie
Bush neighborhood and in his kid
days was a bat boy for the Indian
apolis club. Asa player he was a
dandy infielder and always was rat
ed as an intelligent pastimer. He
took up the "guessing” profession
after his playing days ended and
had no trouble making good.
McGrew is spending the off
season in Indianapolis on the em
ployment roll of the Indiartapolis
Power and Light Company. In point
of service he was second oldest um
pire on the Association staff the
past season, F. R. Connelly being
the dean. With other National
League umpires. McGrew will report
to President Hevdler for a get
together session before the next dia
mond season gets under way.
Indianapolis representation in
the major circuits now consists of
Ownie Bush; Chuck Klein of the
Phillies, home run king of the Na
tional League: Harry Geisel and
McGrew.
Ownie Bush, manager of the
White Sox. went to Chicago today
to stir up stove league activities.
He planned to confer with Owner

to purchase Smead Jolley, slugging

GOOD GAMES ON CARD
Big Four of East Should
Win Easily.
BY DIXON STEWART
Cnlted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—Sectional
football • leaders today appeared
likely to maintain their positions
among the elite for another week
as most of them face supposedly
weaker opponents during the com
ing week-end.
However, no district will lack in
teresting games as in addition to
the chance of leaders meeting an
upset, the schedule lists numerous
conflicts in which unusually well
matched teams will meet.
Yale, Pittsburgh, Cornell and
Pennsylvania—the big four of the
east—should win handily from their
respective rivals—Maryland, W. and
J.. West Virginia and Penn State—
although there is a distinct chance
of an upset in every contest. Dart
mouth should take Brown into
camp, but one guess is as good as
another on the clash between Ford
ham and Boston college outfits.
Colgate Worried
Another game which promises fine
competition is the Detroit-West Vir
ginia battle at Morgantown. Detroit
was held to a tie by Marquette last
week after winning nineteen con
secutive games since 1927.
Colgate, defeated only by Wiscon
sin, meets Columbia, and the Lions’
fine showing against Cornell is caus
ing Colgate’s coaches considerable
worry.
Notre Dame and Purdue, two of
the middle west’s strongest teams,
expect little competition from Drake
and Mississippi, but Minnesota faces
its hardest test of the season with
lowa. The Hawkeyes are anxious to
repeat their last year victory and
avenge the defeats sustained at
Minnesota’s hands in the three
previous years, and it would not be
surprising to see the Gophers drop
from the ranks of the undefeated.
Two Intersectionals
The Big Ten conference’s two big
intersectional games, Michigan vs.
Harvard and Illinois vs. Army, ap
pear destined to be triumphs for
the east, but conference teams have
a disconcerting habit of playing
their greatest football against east
ern schools. Two of the clashes be
tween conference rivals, Chicago vs.
Wisconsin and Northwestern vs.
Ohio, also rate as even.
California, Stanford and Southern
California outclass other Pacific
coast teams and should win handily
from Montana, Washington and Ne
vada.
Vanderbilt Favorite
In the Missouri Valley, Nebraska
will rest and Oklahoma plays Kan
sas. Utah, Rocky mountain leader,
should win handily from Colorado
college, and Tulane and Tennessee,
the south’s rivals for honors, expect
little trouble from Alabama Poly and
Carson-Newman.
Alabama’s game with Kentucky is
the outstanding contest of the day
in the south. Vanderbilt and Geor
gia Tech should be another inter
esting game with the former a slight
favorite.
der, but Bush feels confident he’ll
put it through.
Manager Johnny Corriden of the
Tribe has been asked for a spring
trial by a young out
fielder named Nic Maglio. The
youth is off the sandlots and played
with an amateur league team in
Milwaukee the past season. He
throws and bats right-handed. His
age is 21. Corriden will make up his
mind about Maglio later.
John Riddle of the Indians’
catching staff, the lad from
Georgia, has decided to brave
wintry blasts of the north and has
taken employment with the In

pany.
AETNA QUINTET STARTS

stars, will open the 1929 season soon.

vails here that McLarnin can beat
Fields.
Jimmy, a slugger who gives and
takes, certainly showed more ability
in the Mandell fight than Fields
ever has shown here. Mandell had
beaten Fields before Jackie won the
147-pound title, and he was a 7-5
favorite to win from McLarnin, but
Jimmy upset the odds.
Fields won the welterweight title
by beating Joe Dundee, a “washed
up” fighter who was at least an even
bet to lose to two or three of the
welterweights.
Mandell, disappointed with his
loss Monday night (it was the first
time since preliminary days he ever
had seen an opponent win a de
cision from him) wants a return
match with McLarnin and in all
probability he will be obliged. Sam
my and Jimmy drew one of the
greatest houses the Chicago stadium
has seen.

Back Injury
Ends Career
of Marsters
Dartmouth Star, Leading
U. S. Grid Scorer, Is Out
for Season.
By United Press
HANOVER, N. H., Nov. 6.
Marsters, Dartmouth's sensational
quarter back and one of 1929’s
greatest back field men. today faced
the realization he has played his
last intercollegiate football game.
X-ray have revealed that
Marsters, a senior, had sustained a
fracture of the right transverse
process at the third and fourth
lumbar vertebrae in the Yale game
Saturday. The injury, although not
expected to have permanent effect,
will keep the player in the college
infirmary three or four weeks, it
was announced by Dr. John S. F.
Gile.
Certain All-American
Marsters’ injury ends his career
in the midst of his greatest sea
son. The Dartmouth star, one of
the greatest players who ever wore a
Green jersey, leads the nation in
scoring w’ith 108 points in six games
and was considered certain to W'in
all-America honors.
After a sensational debut in var
sity football during his sophomore
year, “Special Delivery Al” was kept
out of action for the major part of
last season by an ankle injury.
Dartmouth’s entire attack has
been built around the big quarter
back, and his absence will be a big
handicap in the remaining games
with Brown, Cornell and the Navy.
Also Track Star
Marsters has been a letter man
in track during the last two sea
sons, running the hurdle and relay
events.
Special radio arrangements are
being made to enable Marsters to
follow the Dartmouth eleven when
it plays away from home and Dr.
Gile said today Marsters will be al
lowed to attend the Cornell game
here a week from Saturday, if his
condition warrants.
urday to show everything. Central
Normal of Danville will engage the
Engineers at Terre Haute and as
Normal is very strong the outcome
does not loom very bright for Phil
Brown’s boys to capture vheir fifth
straight win.
Indiana Central should smother
the Valparaiso team just as Bethel
(Ky.) probably will smother Oak
land City. Little is known of Detroit
Tech, but they are certain to meet
something at Manchester.
