CPORTS celebrities of the town who were on hand enjoy
ing the Times-Legion Golden Gloves finals at Tomlinson
hall Thursday nivht, included Ownie Rush, Harry Geisel,
Barney Kelly ami others. Gejsel was introductory an
nouncer for the amateur fistic classic. The show went over
big, the hall was packed and bouts were run of! in splendid
order.

also a member of the A. L. staff, occupied a ringside seat, and stayed
from beginning to end. “I am familiar with Golden Gloves tourneys in
Chicago," Owens said, "and never miss one if I can help it. The boys
give the customers genuine action. I have invited Harry Geisel to be my
guest in Chicago when the boys crowned Times-Legion champions here
compete in the Tournament of Champions next week."
Some "hard-boiled" professional boxing goers who showed up for
the first time at the Golden Gloves show Thursday were surprised at the
class of entertainment and fine system used in conducting the program.
"We won’t miss being present at every program next year," they said.
Officers from Ft. Benjamin Ha.ri.son were jubilant over the success
of their soldier fistic squad in landing four of the titles. The victorious
lads from the army post are members of the Third field artillery.
"This is going to prove a great boost for boxing in Indianapolis,’
one amazed ringsider said. "It will give an impetus to the development
of the glove sport in the city and naturally will make new fistic fans,
which will react to the benefit of the professional shows.
"It’s a remarkable tribute to The Times for single-paper sponsorship
in co-operation with the Legion boys."
HKN MOl M) STAFF LOOKS PROMISING
'T'HE Toledo Mud Hons arc perking up after being orphans all winter
-I and considerable fan interest is coming to life as. the home town
buyers of the defunct franchise make gradual progress in putting a team
together. Hoosier fans will recall the Hens nosed out the Indians for
fourth place last fall.
Toledo was a real ball team during the late weeks of last year’s cam
paign and although Cleveland wrecked the roster when it withdrew its
support, fresh contact with the American League Indians was made and
the Hens have benefited.
The mound staff is especially promising, if Cleveland delivers the
talent as expected. Lawson, Twogood, Craghead, Rabb,
Pearson, Bachman, Marleau and Tate form a likely looking mound crew.
The first six named won 55 games and lost 48 between them in 1932
with Toledo, and Lefty Bachman doubtless will surprise a lot of sharps
if he is kept out of the outeicld.
Bachman is somewhat of a hitter and he was over-worked last
season and shunted about as pinch hitter, pitcher and fly chaser. An
other thing, Pearson won 3 and lost 9 tilts last year and he is figured
to be a better hurler. The Hens got away to a slow start in 1932; other
wise some of the mound records would show a bulge.
Belve Bean, Hen 1932 ace, will be retained by Cleveland. He won
20 games and lost 14 under Bib Falk. Lawson won 12' and lost 11 last
year. Twogood copped JO and lost 6, Craghead bagged 18 and dropped
15, and Rabb won one, with no defeats, seeing action in only 28 innings.
Winegarner won 11 and lost 7.
‘WISE GUY MACPHAIL,’ SAYS ONE FAN
LARRY MACPIIAIL. president of the Columbus Red Birds of the
American Association, has got some of the Bird fans on his neck
for delaying the appointment of a manager and with spring almost at
hand. ‘ Wise Guy MacPhail” is the way one fan referred to the prexy.
It is said MacPhail wanted Bob O’Farrell, but was “taken out of the
play’’ for Bob by Gabby Street, manager of the Cardinals, who own the
Columbus franchise.
It is said to be a case where the chain store board must agree before
Columbus obtains its pilot. .Reports intimate that Branch Rickey, St.
Louis chain general manager, and MacPhail settled on O’Farrell and
Street complained to Sam Breadon, Cardinal owner, and won the
argument.
MacPhail popped off recently with house top shouting charging
“tampering” by the Cincinnati Reds, and got nowhere. It made good
publicity in Columbus, however. If Larry went to Commissioner Judge
Landis with his squawk, as he threatened to do, there has been no
public report made of it.
Last September the Cardinals sent out blanket waivers on a long
list of players, including Pitcher Sylvester Johnson, who still is regarded
as big league caliber. He was waived out and sent to Columbus. That
was in September, long before Ownie Bush was appointed manager
of the Reds.
Sidney JVcll, Cincy prexy, shouldered the blame for overlooking
Johnson, explaining he had not noticed Sylvester's name on the list.
Out of that remark, MacPhail of Columbus ran to the crying room with
his wail of “tampering.” It isn't even close to what constitutes
tampering.
Cincy papers quote Pilot Bush’s opinion. Not being in the majors
at the time when waivers were asked on Johnson, Bush said he would
have denied waivers otherwise. MacPhail also took exception to Bush’s
statement, and was wrong again. Bush or any other manager would
say the same of any player who was rated good enough to remain in
the big show.
There is no rule that gags a club manager when discussing the
merits of a player on another team. It’s just Johnson’s bad luck that
the sharp-eyed Hoosier was not in charge at Cincinnati when the
Cardinals slipped him out and over the dam.

The president of the National Ski Association. Leib Deyo, never had
on a pair of skis. Well, there are a lot of people betting Hard-earned
money on horse races who never even hitched or rode a dobbin.

Pitcher Dizzy Dean finally trumped up a plausible reason for skip
ping out on his partner in a filling station enterprise. He said he
noticed so many people thumb walking along the highways he lost
interest.

Pennsylvania lias seven veterans in its 1933 rowing crew, losing only

The sixth annual state Catholic

fore action ceased Friday night, and
of the starting field of eleven teams,
just four—Cathedral of Indianapo
lis, defending champs; Jasper Acad
emy, former title winner; Ft. Wayne
; Central Catholic, and Gibault of
[ Vincennes—remained in the battle
i for the 1933 crown.
Cathedral and Ft. Wayne each
registered two triumphs in the Fri
day activities, the local cagers de
feating Huntington, 38 to 20, in a
first round tilt and later dropping
Washington, 29 to 20. Ft. Wayne
had little trouble with Decatur in
the opener, 30 to 15, but were forced
to battle uphill to win from Ham
mond, 26 to 17.
Vincennes Is Strong
Vincennes’ strongest quintet in
history ran rough shod over St.
Mary's of Anderson, 37 to 21. P.
Lenahan, with nine field baskets,
led the downstate attack while R.
Lenahan gave a helpjng hand with
four buckets.
Don Ping’s Memorial cagers of
Evansville failed to duplicate a vic
tory they scored over Jasper acad
emy in midseason and fell. 20 to 12.
Ping’s lads held the academy team
even in the first half, which ended
6-6, but the accurate net sniping
of Worland and Hoffman in the
last period turned the tide.
Ft. 'Wayne Produces
Agenbroad, Bresnahan and Mc-
Ardle of Ft. Wayne teamed well
to bury Decatur beneath an ava
lanche of field goals in the after
noon, but in the night tilt against
Sammy Pollizotto’s Hammond boys,
the only one of the ;trio able to
carry on in similar basket hitting
form was Agenbroad, and it was
his five two-pointers that pulled
the team out in front.
Everybody scored in Washington’s
46-13 triumph over St. Andrews, and
Shipp, with six field goals, was Ca
thedral's big noise in their 28 to 20
triumph against Huntington, but
when these two winners clashed at
night, there were hardly any stand
out players.
Cathedral led 13-12 at half time
after jumping out in front 4-0 in
the early minutes. Washington
grabbed the lead in the second half,
but Shipp, -Theobald and John
O'Connor presented a setup of
height and basket shooting ability
that gave the local Irish the power
to pull away.
Bulldogs an undisputed crown in
its first season in the conference.
Butler has won thirteen of its last
fourteen games. Although Drake
was beaten on the local’s western
tour, the lowa Bulldogs have shown
improvement and are the only other
quintet besides Butler holding a
win over Creighton. Tonight’s prob
