MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 1935 THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, INDIANA PAGE EIGHT Columbus Stars Given Franchise In Indiana-Ohio Baseball League QUAKERS TO MEET WABASH HERE THURSDAY NIGHT Circuit To Be Composed Of Eight Clubs In 1935 Duckworths Will Be Home Team, Making Five Home Clubs and Three Road Teams; To Draw Schedule Feb. 17 Sammy Byrd May Become Star With Reds In 1935 Largest Crowd of Year Expected To See Game COLLEGE TEAMS TO SEE ACTION IN 1 6 CONTESTS FOUR BIG TEN GAMES CARDED; IOWA DEFEATED Quakers Have Shown Much Improvement in Last Two Battles; Wabash Has Practically Same Line-up Again This Season Was Brilliant Prospect in Minors; Served as Babe Ruth's Substitute for Six Years I By KEN MURPHY Palladium-Item Sports Editor A goal, at which the Indiana-Ohio League has been shooting for three years, was attained yesterday at a meeting of the league officials and representatives of the 1934 teams, when the Columbus Stars were granted a home franchise and the Cincinnati Duckworths' were changed from a road to a home club, making an eight-team league with five home clubs and three road teams. The Columbus Stars are a colored team and will play their games in the old Columbus American Association Park. The Cincinnati Duckworths will move into a new park at College Hill, a suburb of Cincinnati, early this Spring. Plans are being made to accommodate the largest crowd of the season at the Trueblood Field House Thursday night when Coach Blair Gullion's rapidly improving Quakers meet the Wabash Little Giants.

Wabash is one team that a Gullion-coached quintet 'has never defeated and the Quakers are pointing for this important clash trus week. THE STANDING Won Lost Pet.

The Quakers have scored consecutive triumphs over Wilmington College and the University of Dayton and appear to be on the way to some more victories. The Little Giants, with practically the same line-up that carried the Wabash colors last year, have been winning recently after a slow start and like the Quakers, appear to be on the upgrade.

Coach Gullion probably will use McDorman at center, Ru6y at one guard and Hunt at one forward. Either Rothermal or Jordan will be at the other forward and either Rothermal or Peters will play the other guard positions. Frank Lane, Cincinnati and Dave Reese, Dayton, will be the officials for the contest. The Earlham Reserves will play a preliminary game with an opponent to be named later. This game will start at 6:45 P.

LT The Big Ten basketball season, which is making the recent football campaign look like a piker as far as upsets are concerned, proceeds this week with only four games. The most recent of the upsets, achieved Saturday night by Indiana, accounted for Iowa's first defeat of the season, and left the Hawkeyes within reaching distance of the other contenders.

Northwestern defeated in its first three conference games, finally hit its stride and whipped Wisconsin. The earlier surprises were the Illinois victory over Purdue, and Wisconsin's defeat of Northwestern. Iowa, as usual, was away to a big CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 21. When the Cincinnati Reds take the field to open the 1935 baseball season at Crosley Field Mgr.

Charley Dressen is likely to trot out five or six newcomers in his regular lineup. Most of these fellows are youngsters with outstanding minor league records but devoid of major league experience. One of the newcomers, however, comes to the Reds with six years major league experience. Sammy Byrd, 27-year-old outfielder purchased from the New York Yankees, is the man Dressen is counting on to solve his outfield problem. He is considering a shift which will send Chick Hafey to left field, with Byrd covering center and having Goodman, Pool, and Comor-osky battle it out for the right field assignment What his final decision will be, naturally, depends on developments at spring training camp.

Byrd is a right-handed hitter, 5 feet 101 inches tall, and weighs 175 pounds. He has speed, power at the plate, and a fine arm. Byrd, despite all his bench warming, while serving as Ruth's understudy, need not be ashamed of his record with the Yankees. His first season at New York he hit .312, and his complete average with that Club is somewhere around .286, a figure not to be sneezed at when its author did not enjoy the advantage of looking at good pitching every day. Sam got plenty of opportunities as a pinch hitter during his stay with the Yankees and made the most of them.

Used five times in this role in 1930, he reached first The League conists of Richmond, Middletown, Cincinnati Duckworths, Col ambus, and Muncie as home clubs and the Indianapolis Kaut-skys, Dayton Shroyers, and Cincinnati Tigers as road teams. At yesterday's meeting George Brehm was re-elected president and William Maurer, Middletown, Ohio, was named vice-president of the League. Brehm will also serve as treasurer. Ken Murphy was reelected secretary at the December meeting. The three officers of the League were invested with the power of deciding all league problems, with a team manager having the privilege of appealing a decision by calling a meeting of the managers if the decision handed down by the league officials is thought unsatisfactory.

The Columbus Stars have long been one of the Middle West's outstanding colored teams, playing in the class with the Pittsburgh Craw-fords, Homested Grays and the National League colored nines. This gives the League two colored teams, one home and one road club. With eight teams in the League, five of them home clubs, there will be difficulty in finding parks for games each Sunday. Last season, near the end of the campaign, there were four road clubs and three home teams.

Of the leaders, only Minnesota will be in action this week. The Gophers tackle Wisconsin at Madison tonight, while Chicago plays Ohio State at Columbus, and Northwestern goes to Michigan.

Richmond's decisive victory over Kokomo, at Kokomo, coming after a splendid battle against Logansport, promises another sellout for the Coliseum. Basketball Result Sammy Byrd base thrice, with a single, a double, and a walk to his credit, driving in two runs. He hit .250 as a pinch-batsman in 1931, and in 1932 reached base two-thirds of the times he appeared in the emergency role, with four hits and four walks in 12 chances. In 1933 he was officially at bat nine times in the pinch, made two hits, drew two passes and drove four runners across the plate. Last season, appearing twice, he batted 1.000, with a double and a base on balls in two occasions at the plate.

Byrd was born in Breham, Ga, and lives in Birmingham, Ala. He began his professional career with Jonesboro in the Tri-State League in 1926, hitting .348. The next season he hit .331 for Knoxville and was purchased by the Yankees, who farmed him out to Albany for 1928. There he dazzled the International League by hitting .371, scoring 120 runs and driving in 108 markers besides smashing. 18 home runs.

This performance bounced him into the major league for 1929. Sammy looks back to 1932 for a couple of his outstanding achievements. He started off with two home runs in the opening day game against the Athletics, and later in the season handled 11 putouts in left field, coming within one of the American League record. Although he has been overshadowed by Babe Ruth in the national pastime. In golf he takes a back seat to no one, being by far the best -golfer connected with baseball.

So good he is that when he's through playing major league baseball it is his intention to devote all his time to professional golf. Friday night's North Central Conference offers four games that should attract record crowds at the four home centers.

Butler's Bull Dogs, another of the tougher teams in the state, will play twice, meeting Valparaiso here Tuesday night and Indiana State at the field house on Saturday evening.
