m ti By Eddie Ash IT S STRUGGLE FOR THE COLONELS m m m CITIZENS DONATE TO AID TEAM N ATI\ ES of Kentucky usually are so wrapped up in horse conversation that they let baseball slip away from them. And the Louisville Colonels have little to play for—not even a supply of choice oats. Business men are helping and there’s a chance that dia- mond interest may be revived in the once-hot baseball town that used to be a member of the National League. After the death of Col. William Knebelkamp, club owner, during the winter, heirs tried to sell the franchise and real estate, but it was no dice. Civic boosters stepped in and con- tributed $50,000 to start the ball rolling and the players were sent to training camp. However, the bank roll Isn't heavy enough to purchase talent and the Colonels must *do the best they can under difficult circumstances. Their new manager, Burleigh Grimes, Is a fighter and hustler and may pull the team out of the cellar. He knows the mechanics of the game and has a fine spirit. The club is fairly strong in spots and with a little more fresh money on hand the Colonels might regain the prestige that made Louisville famous in baseball several years ago, when it prospered to the extent of building anew park. ft tt tt tt ft tt WHEN the local Indians played the Albany Internationals in Florida the other day Alabama Pitts, the Sing Sing “graduate'’ performed with the Senators and banged out two hits off Hoosier pitching. Pitts’ weakness last season was at bat and his spring showing indicates he may learn to solve league hurling. JIM LONDOS hears Greece calling hirr and he’s going to his home- land lor a long vis’t. The cham- pion box office attraction of wres- tling circles will bring tpars to the eyes of mat promoters when he says goodby. A few years ago Jim re- turned to Greece and wrestled be- fore a crowd of 100,000, all for char- ity. It was the first time his father had seen him perform as a profes- sional. nun Brothers of Roy Cleveland John- son, Yankee outfielder, are named Robert E. Lee and Andrew Jackson. Their old man certainly knew his national figures. nun Branch Rickey, general manager of the Cards, spends SBOO a month on long distance calls. He has to keep in touch with the “stores” in the St. Louis chain, but what makes him moan is when Dizzy Dean phones and reverses the charges. n n tt Gustav Kilian and Heinz Vopel, the Germans, recently won their seventh straight six-day bike race by copping the Chicago grind.

Amateurs in Variety Bill Fighters of all weight divisions will appear on the weekly amateur boxing show at Tomlinson Hall to- night. Ten fast bouts are to com- prise the program with many Gold- en Gloves battlers seeing action. Several Terre Haute scrappers, carded for matches, were forced to withdraw because of the A. A.

Historic City Keys for Triumphant March; Tiger Coach Besieged With Aid Allotment of 1600 Tickets Not Enough to Satisfy Fans Who Awake to Fact Central Has Strong Chance at Hoosier Crown. BY HARRISON MILLER Times Staff Writer FORT WAYNE, Ind., March 26.—“ Historic Trails” is emblazened on brilliant orange arrows in patriotic reminder that the visitor here is in a city rich in epics of the pioneers. “On to the championship” shines from the Blue and White signs in show windows along Calhoun-st which spreads southward to another historic path—the road to the state basketball finals. In 1792 George Washington sent Mad Anthony Wayne to the Mau- mee River to take the land from the Miami Indians. In 1936 Fort Wayne sends Central High School to Indianapolis to capture the bas- ketball wampum from the Ander- son Indians. The spirit of the pioneers per- vades the camp of the Summit City warriors. Never before has this city had such strong prospects of scaling Hoosier basketball heights. Never has it been represented in the titular game at the Butler fieldhouse. They ‘Want More Tickets It has suddenly dawned upon the entire populace that Fort Wayne is a contender for the hardwood championship. Enthusiasm has reached a point of hysteria and the supply of 1600 tournament tickets was exhausted by Tuesday noon with hundreds of applicants clam- oring for more. Neighboring allies have rein- forced General Murray Mendenhall. It has become a community enter- prise. Robert Nulf, chief of the North Side Redskins, and Burl Friddle, head marksman of the South Side Archers, have gathered around tne campfire to plan the stratagems. Mendenhall almost has been shoved into the back- ground by willing volunteers. Friddle and Nulf scouted the Marion regional, and their battle plans worked against Kokomo, the terror that tripped Tipton. The team had lost to Newcastle during the season and knew what to do against the Trojans. Scouts Make Reports Assistant Coach Bob Dornte is “Mendy’s’ aide-de-camp and has seen Frankfort. Nulf diagrammed the entire Vincennes tourney. The office is littered with plans and planners. A steady stream of well-wishers flows into the Central gym near the heart of the city to reassure them- selves that Central still is in the running. Paul White, New Haven mentor, drops in for a check-up. He predicted the Tigers would beat Kokomo 10 points. The score was 36 to 26. He states that Central can win. toward (Ben) Tenny, leading sports scribe, is here early. He is president of the Downtown Coaches Association and has been second- guessing ’em for years. And He Picked Frankfort! "I’m the guy who five weeks ago publicly picked Frankfort and never hoped so much that I am all wet,” says Tenny. “No one here counted on a big year. North Side and South Side were tough foes in the sectional. Mendy was shaky before the -egionals, faced by Berne, which had ?en to the state in 1935, and Ha*’ rd City. “Afidr that there was Tipton, Ko- komo and Newcastle looming in the Muncie meet. We all knew we had (Turn to Page Twenty-One) Savage and Speer in Armory Clash Zaharias-Shires Mixed Go Also Discussed. Daniel Boone Savage, 250. the Kentucky hill billy who is touted more for his power and strength •than his wrestling skill, will get his first “big time” local test at the Armory next Tuesday where he will ackle Frank Speer, 235, rough At- lanta grappler, in one of the feature bouts on an all-star bill. Matchmaker Carter reported that he is considering the possibility oi Art (Whattaman) Shires, popular mat referee, appearing in the Arm- ory ring next Tuesday in the role of a contestant instead of an official. His foe may be George (Cry Baby) Zaharias, Colorado’s WTestling “meanie” and the two may clash in a “mixed” match. Shires would enter the ring as a fighter, wearing regulation six-ounce gloves, with Zaharias performing as a grappler. Zaharias, who is under suspension in Indiana, has asked for a spot on next Tuesday’s card and has agreed to meet any opponent named if he is reinstated. The bout would be in addition to the regular three-match weekly mat bill. Holiday Is Declared as Hoosiers Play Davids 100 Wrestlers Entered in Amateur Event Saturday Indiana-Kentucky Meet at ‘Y’ Attracts College Stars and Other A. A. U. Mat Champions. Nearly a score of titleholders and medal winners will be entere'd in the Indiana-Kentucky A. A. U. wrestling meet to be staged at the Indi- anapolis Y. M. C. A. gym Saturday afternoon and evening. The total entry list will approximate 100 wrestlers. The meet has been authorized as an Olympic tryout, according to Walter Keaton, Y. M. C. A. wres- tling coatch and A. A. U. wrestling commissioner for the Idiana-Ken- tucky district. Coach W. H. Thom of Indiana University, who is to coach the United States Olmypic entries, will scout the tourney. Olden Gilliam, twice Big Ten champion in the 165-pound class and Indiana-Kentucky A. A. U. champion in the heavyweight class (1933) has entered unattached in the 174-pound division. Gilliam was captain of the In- diana University team in 1935. Clarence (Pete) Hawkins, captain of the Indiana University team in '33 and Indiana-Kentucky champ in the 135-pound class last year, has entered unattached. He will wrestle at 123 pounds. Bob Haak, who held the Indiana State high school championship in the heavyweight class in 1934-35, will enter unattached. Haak also took the National Y. M. C. A. cham- pionship in his weight in 1935. Many other college and A. A. U. mat aces are entered. The prelim bouts will be started at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon and will continue until 5. Third place events will start at 7 o’clock with the finals beginning about 7:45. Provisions have been arranged for accommodating a large crowd. GIANTS TRIP CUBS TALLAHASSEE, Fla., March 26. The Chicago Cubs hoped to triumph over the New York Giants today and gain an even break in their six- game series. The Giants won yes- terday, 7-2, to take the lead three games to two. Fielding of Augie Galan, Cubs’ centerfielder, has been one of the big features of the series. City Fives Clash in Amateur Tilt Beveridge Paper, Kingans on State Program.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 26.—Youth will dominate the play in the Na- tional League this season, President Ford Frick, back from a three-weeks tour of the training camps, predicted today. “Speed will be the keynote of play in the National League this year,” said Frick. “Our players are the youngest I can recall and where you have youth you have speed, daring base running, fancy fielding and Women Reach Feature Play By Unite,d Press a,AUGUSTA, Ga., March 26—The veteran Maureen Orcutt Crews of Miami meets Peggy Wattles of Buf- falo in the round of four today in the semi-finals of the Augusta wom- en's golf championship.

Washington St. Between Pennsylvania A Delaware-fts. spectacular chance-taking. “Particularly will young players play big roles with the Cubs, Reds, Dodgers and Phillies. The Cubs’ success in winning the pennant last year and the Reds’ success with first-year players have set anew fashion in baseball styles. “The clubs no longer are content to rely on the veterans as long as they can hold out, but are trying to infuse young blood into the ranks to build up pep, hustle and speed.” Big Year at Gate The youthful National League prexy visited every camp except the Pittsburgh Pirates at San Antonio, Tex., which was off his route. The outlook is bright for a suc- cessful celebration of the National Leauge’s sixtieth anniversary, said Frick. “We haven’t got a single Im- portant problem, controversy or dis- pute hanging fire. The owners are looking forward to a big year fin- ancially, and I think the fans can look forward to plenty of thrills from the way the teams are hus- tling in camp.” Frick belives that the Cubs’ spec- tacular 1935 finish, during which they won 21 straight games, will make every club more eager than ever to battle to the last out from the first to the last day of the sea- son. Impressed by Oubs He declined to make any predic- tion about the pennant race, but named the Cubs and Cardinals as two very strong teams. The Cubs in particular impressed Frick by their youth, pep and confidence in training. He believes the Boston Bees and Philadelphia Phillies will be greatly improved, tightening up the entire league. “I don’t think there’ll be any ‘cou- sins’ in the league this year,” said Frick. “No club can count on tak- ing three out of four games in any series. The Bees and the Phillies will give the other clubs a lot of trouble, I believe. Better balance will help attract more customers and I expect every club in the league will make money this season. Last year only Boston actually lost money, and that was only about $28,000, not nearly as much as most fans thought.” HASSETT FINDS EYE BARTON. Fla., March 26.—Buddy Hassett, Brooklyn’s recruit first baseman, has broken the batting slump which has gripped him since he joined the Dodgers and was hailed again today as one of the best looking young players to come up this season.

The Tigers’ offer has never heen revealed, but it is several thousand dollars under Greenberg's demands. “It'll be easy from now on.” said Greenberg. “We’ll get our little dis- agreement settled and then I'll start training hard to round into shape.

IT S STRUGGLE FOR THE COLONELSm m m

CITIZENS DONATE TO AID TEAM

NATI\ ES of Kentucky usually are so wrapped up in horseconversation that they let baseball slip away from them.

And the Louisville Colonels have little to play for—not evena supply of choice oats.

Business men are helping and there’s a chance that dia-mond interest may be revived in the once-hot baseball townthat used to be a member of the National League.

After the death of Col. William Knebelkamp, club owner,during the winter, heirs tried to sell the franchise and realestate, but it was no dice. Civic boosters stepped in and con-tributed $50,000 to start the ball rolling and the playerswere sent to training camp.

BY HARRISON MILLERTimes Staff Writer

FORT WAYNE, Ind., March 26.—“ Historic Trails” is emblazened onbrilliant orange arrows in patriotic reminder that the visitor here is ina city rich in epics of the pioneers.

“On to the championship” shines from the Blue and White signsin show windows along Calhoun-st which spreads southward to anotherhistoric path—the road to the state basketball finals.

In 1792 George Washington sentMad Anthony Wayne to the Mau-mee River to take the land fromthe Miami Indians. In 1936 FortWayne sends Central High Schoolto Indianapolis to capture the bas-

ketball wampum from the Ander-

son Indians.The spirit of the pioneers per-

vades the camp of the Summit Citywarriors. Never before has thiscity had such strong prospects ofscaling Hoosier basketball heights.Never has it been represented inthe titular game at the Butlerfieldhouse.

They ‘Want More Tickets

It has suddenly dawned upon theentire populace that Fort Wayneis a contender for the hardwoodchampionship. Enthusiasm hasreached a point of hysteria and thesupply of 1600 tournament ticketswas exhausted by Tuesday noonwith hundreds of applicants clam-oring for more.

Neighboring allies have rein-forced General Murray Mendenhall.It has become a community enter-prise. Robert Nulf, chief of theNorth Side Redskins, and BurlFriddle, head marksman of theSouth Side Archers, have gatheredaround tne campfire to plan thestratagems. Mendenhall almosthas been shoved into the back-ground by willing volunteers.

Friddle and Nulf scouted theMarion regional, and their battleplans worked against Kokomo, theterror that tripped Tipton. Theteam had lost to Newcastle duringthe season and knew what to doagainst the Trojans.

Scouts Make Reports

Assistant Coach Bob Dornte is“Mendy’s’ aide-de-camp and hasseen Frankfort. Nulf diagrammedthe entire Vincennes tourney. Theoffice is littered with plans andplanners.

A steady stream of well-wishersflows into the Central gym near theheart of the city to reassure them-selves that Central still is in therunning. Paul White, New Havenmentor, drops in for a check-up.He predicted the Tigers would beatKokomo 10 points. The score was36 to 26. He states that Centralcan win.

toward (Ben) Tenny, leadingsports scribe, is here early. He ispresident of the Downtown CoachesAssociation and has been second-guessing ’em for years.

And He Picked Frankfort!"I’m the guy who five weeks ago

publicly picked Frankfort and neverhoped so much that I am all wet,”says Tenny. “No one here countedon a big year. North Side andSouth Side were tough foes in thesectional. Mendy was shaky beforethe -egionals, faced by Berne, whichhad ?en to the state in 1935, andHa*’ rd City.

spectacular chance-taking.“Particularly will young players

play big roles with the Cubs, Reds,Dodgers and Phillies. The Cubs’success in winning the pennant lastyear and the Reds’ success withfirst-year players have set anewfashion in baseball styles.

“The clubs no longer are contentto rely on the veterans as long asthey can hold out, but are tryingto infuse young blood into the ranksto build up pep, hustle and speed.”

Big Year at GateThe youthful National League

prexy visited every camp except thePittsburgh Pirates at San Antonio,Tex., which was off his route.

The outlook is bright for a suc-cessful celebration of the NationalLeauge’s sixtieth anniversary, saidFrick.

“We haven’t got a single Im-portant problem, controversy or dis-pute hanging fire. The owners arelooking forward to a big year fin-ancially, and I think the fans canlook forward to plenty of thrillsfrom the way the teams are hus-tling in camp.”

Frick belives that the Cubs’ spec-tacular 1935 finish, during whichthey won 21 straight games, willmake every club more eager thanever to battle to the last out fromthe first to the last day of the sea-son.

Impressed by OubsHe declined to make any predic-

tion about the pennant race, butnamed the Cubs and Cardinals astwo very strong teams. The Cubsin particular impressed Frick bytheir youth, pep and confidence intraining. He believes the BostonBees and Philadelphia Phillies willbe greatly improved, tightening upthe entire league.

“I don’t think there’ll be any ‘cou-sins’ in the league this year,” saidFrick. “No club can count on tak-ing three out of four games in anyseries. The Bees and the Phillieswill give the other clubs a lot oftrouble, I believe. Better balancewill help attract more customersand I expect every club in theleague will make money this season.Last year only Boston actually lostmoney, and that was only about$28,000, not nearly as much as mostfans thought.”
