1 v'v W'" A SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 18, 1032. THE COSHOCTON TRIBUNE sports in Review By EDDIE KYAN Taking Sen- haueer's advice, the conductor squeezed in close to the ring- at Dover Thursday night to get "an eyeful of the Alabama's action," and when all was said and done the hopes of "Dutch" had been realized. The break the conductor drew waa in pulling a "One-Eyed Connelly." He didn't pay to get in. The word battle between "Dutch" and this corner was renewed outside of Alabama's dressing room before the fight. "Dutch" grew confidential.

He let the conductor in on the "in" ain the fight racket. It seems "Dutch" was taking a long Any.way the long shot won, and more power to him. Beating a rat-a-tat on the conductor's top vest button, "Dutch" unburdened himself thusly. "Alabama," says he, "has been fighting palookas long enough. He's knocking them, out and going no place fast.

Pirrone gave him a. beating. Belmont might. He'a big stuff. Remember iDempeey.

He wasn't a boxer, but hit 'em they stayed hit. The 'Bam has a hard punch. If he gets it in they're going out. It only takes one to do It." When Alabama's arm WM rated In victory in that round, and confusion reigned at the ringside seven little' words burned Into the conductor's mind with great force. They were the golden words ft wisdom from of the pilot.

For five rounds he had the Kid's rjwhes Attcr each round grinned at" the TCld with condescension and skipped lightly to corner. It wasn't that easy, for Alabama was tough every minute. It was Belmont's carelessness and Alabama's ability to take advantage of an opening.

Bebnont waa guilty of pulling- his punches on several The conductor acctweti him of it after the firht. His manager, Franlde who wore the world's middleweight mantle from 1911 to 1913, replied, "Well, he wasn't exactly pulling them." He then launched Into a lengthy explanation of Belmont's method of attack and the used against the Kid. The conductor walked away. There was no explanation needed for that. The Pittsburgh boy offered no alibi, altho he declared he could have continued thru the sixth if the referee had not halted the proceedings.

He was also, demanding a return match. Alabama, munching on an orange in his dressing room, said, "I knocked him out tonight and I'll knock him out again." In the meantime another Alabama- Jack December fight Is in the raak- mg What about that? PAGE ELEVEN BROWNIES, SPARTANS REMAIN IN LEAGUE Cards Leading National League Clubs in Trades For 1933 Pennant Drive Hornsby's Home to Be Sold at Sheriff's Sale ST. LOUTS. Dec. 17--Kogers Hornsby's St.

NEW YORK, Dec. baseball meetings are over but the trading stetson is only in its infancy. Baseball people, convinced that the Pittsburgh Pirates strengthened themselves as serious contenders, are doing their beat to Improve their own clubs, with the St. Louis Cardinals taking the lead in wholesale trading Today the Cards gave up Sunny Jim Bottomley to the Reds in exchange for Ownie Carroll and Estil Crabtree, a transaction which lends itself very easily to pleasant speculation. It was thot that St.

Louis was In great need of a shortstop to replace Charley Gelbert who is now in a. Philadelphia hospital recovering from a hunting accident. The Cardinal management made no secret of Its intention to grab a good shortstop at the recent meeting in New York but it now appears that St. Louis Is going to stand pat on young Charley Wilson, who played so well at Rochester last year. Gelbert seems definitely out of the picture and Wilson seems definitely in.

"If Gelbert isn't available we'll string along with Wilson," Branch Rickey yesterday. "We think he'll do." Wilson hit. 296 last year in 123 games. He blasted nine home runs and batted In 69 runs. He stole 13 bases and in general disported himself quite cleverly around shortstop.

Wilson is a gamble but Rickey was always one to proceed on the theory that sometimes the dice come seven. If ho comes thru, the Cubs and the Pirates will get plenty of opposition from the Red Birds. Ownie Carroll who learned his curves at Holy Cross several years ago, is a ball player's ball player. Last year he lost 19 games for the Reds but when ball players talk about him they shake their heads and "eay: "he's got it." He should be a better pitcher -Cards than he was with the Reds. Crabtree is greased lightning when it comes to going and getting them but last year he hit only a modest .274.

He should fit in well with the Cardinal scheme of things. Those Cards like speed, they like to push a man around the bases and they give a hurler a two-run lead he's expected to hold it. With the Cards strengthened and with Brooklyn already improved by the trade which gave the Dodgers Ray Benge, and on the verge of another trade which will bring a good first baseman to Flatbush, the National League race gets more interesting every day. Caldwell Rally Defeats Trojan Five, 20 to 18 Staging a rally In the second half, Caldwell cut away a Newcomerstown lead and turned in a 20 to 18 victory over the Trojans in a close and hard fought game on the Newcomerstown court Saturday night.
