TKuraiJay, January 16, 1936. THE HAMMOND TIMES i inc, 111V1L3 rage Thirteen Calumet Region Likes New Tourney Plan inspect Lake Has Chance ot Furnish Champ New Sectional Plan Figures to Bring in Greater Crowds piOACHES, players and fans throughout the Calumet region sre uniformly happy over the new state a assignments which give Lake county two sectionals, Valparaiso a regional, and Garj- one of the four big semi-final tournaments. Although Gary's sectional will lose financially under the new plan, it is generally believed that the new plan--which deprives Valparaiso of a sectional--will result in larger combined receipts at Gary and East Chicago than was possible under the old plan of annual sectionals at Gary and Valparaiso. Chicago's sectional is prac- a cinch to more than account for the inevitable slack at Gary. One of the biggest problems at East Chicago will be how to make 2,500 seating capacity satisfy an anticipated demand of more than 3,000.

There no question, however, but that Gary will continue to be one of the state's biggest moneymakers. Valparaiso will bring hundreds of season-ticket holders and the possibility of an all-Gary final for the first time in many seasons, won't crimo attendance bv Gary i folks. Assignment of a regional to Valparaiso meets with vast approval and the selection of Gary Memorial gym as one of the four semi-final sites is the happiest basketball news of all time for this district. Fans feel that if, a ranking Lake county team can escape upset at Garj-, East Chicago and Valpo- raiso it will be equal to the task of winning from Logansport, Lafayette and Nappanee region champs and thus advancing to Butler field- house.

GOLF A I By ALEX MORRISON fBr, Central Frew) OUOGTEN SWING COtP VV6MHER Number 773 ALEX MORRISON says: When the temperature drops you have to put on extra or heavy jackets you Und that yon are not hitting the ball quite clean. You don't make allowance for the extra clothing. The chill in the air in addition to ths binding of the clothes limits your freedom.

Failing to notice this, you continue with your attempts to make a full swing. You are checked in your backswing or and the clubhead jKesn't land on the ball properly The best thing to do is to make shorter swing. Don't try to swing your, arms back as far as, yon would in warm weather. Be content with about three quarters tat your swing. Keep a firm hold on the club with your left hand, keep your head in position until well after impact and you'll get appreciably much power as you did from the longer swing.

The Hammond preliminaries were held last Sunday, at Douglas park and the city is very well represented by skaters who will be hard to defeat. Kast Chicago, Whiting and Gary are sending strong competititive teams and the competition each event should be keen and more than enjoyable from the spectators' standpoint It is Hammond's first ice carnival and the interest to date, has been unusually keen, especially among the skaters of the city, but all citizens of Hammond, Whiting, Ei.st Chicago and Gary arc exlend- cd a cordial invitation to attend. Fleming, in an interview, stated that the interest had reached such a height that the state recreation department is sending a member of its sta" to cover the program.

ICE FISHING DRAWS UNEMPLOYED TO LAKE ERIE I Fishing through the ice "Boom" times pay and food for empty tables draws thousands of jobless along the western Lake Erie shore to the sport, or work, of ice fishing. When the fish are biting, according to veteran anglers, the catch generally brings in from $5 to a day. Once looked upon merely as sport, ice fishing now is an industry among the unemployed. Three Sandusky, fishermen are pictured left to right, Loroy Anthony, Charles Maruart and Willard Willman. PECULATING 'SPORTS HAMMOND HIGH mm CRUSH CHIGAGOJEAM The state champion Hammond High wrestlers cefeated Lindblom champion, 48 to 10, last night in the Wildcat gym in one of the most thrilling and entertaining meets seen in Hammond since Coach Scott brought the grappling sport to the local school.

The Hammond varsity started out lik 2 a hurricane with Billy Gostlin, Casey Fredericks and Boris Miofsky scoring falls in the first three weights to give the Cats a 21-point lead. Al Jauzko was de- cisioned by a colored byo by the name of Elmer Jones and "Bluebird" Funk pinned Antonacci to bring the score to 28-5. Dan Gill, Ray Frankowski, Joe Hlinka and Dan Stocker all won on time advantage and Lindblom's all-state quarterback, Ted Henms, wrestling in the heavyweight class beat Ed Niko to finish the card. Besides the varsity matches there were 11 second-team bouts. The feature of this part of the show was really a big one.

Lindblom's "Man Mountain" Pritiken, 340 pounds, pinned Herbie Wilhelm, a mere 200-pounder, in 29 seconds to end the match quickly but in spite of that it gave the crowd a thrill. Ernie Evans, Sal La Mantia, Bill Bognar, J. Dogiello won on time advantages, Siggy Zatorski and Dee Buchanan on pins and George Rocke drew to score Hammond's LINDSTROM TO PLAY WITH DODGER CLUB over-shadow Lind- to Mom's 2814. The Hammond varsity looks to be more potent than last year state champions as a team and will be a worthy representative of Hammond in Iowa next week. Three matches in three days with the Iowa State champions, Fort Dodge; the- runners-up, Waterloo, and Clarion will give the Scottmen a severe test and if they weather it they wil be the team to beat in the Indiana State tourney the latter part of next month.

Two 3'ears ago an unidentified young woman threw herself against a speeding locomotive and was killed. The largest trail in the world Is that from Maine to Georgia, 2050 miles long. I goose hangs high in Whiting these days and there are more than t. few civic-minded individuals who may risk pelf on the Oilers when Hammond goes to the Community center lale in February. There are some who think that Ray Gallivdn.

who is just another football coach off location, may do what Karl i did with Hammond at Gary in March, 1933. That was the year when the Hammond school board ousted Paul Church and said to i "Here, Karl, is a basketball squad. Do what you can." Huffine did Hammond into a sectional championship--the first ever won by Harrmond. Incidentally, that Wildcat club had no better reputation at this time of the year than the crew now handled by Col. Gallivan.

Where there's life there's hope and none can say there is no life about the Oilers these days. 4- -I- 4- -I- A note on the desk said "Call Washington High." So The Speculator called Washington High and was connected with one R. F. Robinson, school principal. Principal Robinson feaied lest the sporls department forget that Valparaiso was coming to Senator gym Friday.

Those fears allayed in short order, Principal Robinson promptly seized upon the opportunity to plug for extra publicity. "Tell the readers that Valpo and Washington tumbling teams will compete between halves," he said. And The Speculator, gentleman that he purports to be, didn do what some meanies might have done, namely, to ask: "Has Washington come to this?" HUFFLE CALLAHAN, who one of the pitch and catch specialists back there in the day when women were women and every second man was selling bonds, wa.s in the ring Monday afternoon with both Joe and Charley Retzlaff (for photographic purposes only) and came back with the real dope. 'Betcher money that Retzlaff ain't in there for the fourth round," quoth the Shuffler. "He just don't have it, that's all." Callahan lays no claim to mem- beiship in the brain trust, but he can't figure how Mike Jacobs, with that $1,000,000 Louis-Schmeling mix set for June, would allow Big Black Joe to take any chances.

Briefly, if Rotzlaff was more than a 1,000 to 1 shot he wouldn't bo out there for a paltry house. I South will be heart! from in basketball in another three years, according to Frank Allen, superintendent of schools. Interviewed by a local sports scribe Mho brought reports of much criticism of John Wooden, Ralph Parmcnter, Bob Me- Fall From Bicycle Started Bozeman in Billiard Game AY N. Bozeman, speediest of all the three-cushion billiards experts, who will appear at Perrins Recreation, Hammond, next Monday night when asked recently why he became interested in billiards, merely replied, "Because at the age of 10 I fell off a bicycle." The youthful angle expert, who hails from Vallejo, is, as ascertained by his above remark, not the loquacious type. He goes quietly about his business, but in a manner that denotes he knows what he is doing and today rates as one of the greatest start; to hit the billiard firmament since Allen Hall came into prominence in 1924.

Bozpmau comes here under the direction of the National Billiard Association of America, on their third annual national "letter Billiards" program. Dm ing his hour engagement he will not only offer an exhibition at three- cushion billiards and fancy shots, but devote one full hour of free billiard instruction to both women and men. The chestnut haired cue artist is the youngest of all the world's greatest three-rail stars and also the speediest shot-maker. His first play has made him a prime favorite whenever he has appeared, his play being action personified. Bozeman was born in Amari- lo, in 1906, his parents moving to the roast, when he was a mere youngster.

During his early career he worked as a piano tuner. Before long, however, he became wholeheartedly interested in billiards and annexed the national amateur three-cushion billiards championship in 1028. Turning professional the following year It didn't take him long to prove his worth as he captured the Pacific coast angle title in 1930, successfully defending it in 1931 and 1932. These conquests earned him the right to compete the world championship tournament and he lived up to all expectations. In 1933, in his second attempt at the most coveted of all three-cushion titles, the coast lad finished as runner- up to Welker Cochran, who won his first world angle title that year.

Bozeman finished fifth the 1934 tourney and also in the 1935 round-robin event for top honors held last November in Chicago. In the latter event he won only four of his nine games, but grand averaged 1.02 in the highest grand average tournament of all time. During the summer months and other intervals when he is not playing billiards, Jay either can be found hunting or fishing in the mountains of northern California or out on the golf course pushing tne proverbial ball around tne links. Carnrs, Boyd Ouen and other Big 10 luminaries, Allen gave another explanation of the "five year" plan. A football town for the last 10 yeurs or more, South Bend is much like Hammond--it hasn't provided a major league gymnasium for the Central and other South Bend schools.

Alien is credited with furnishing tile impetus which put lUuneie on tcp in downstato basketball for several years. He favors plenty of grade school basketball with fundamentals for 10-year-olds. i ILLIS HUDLIN is the ranking favorite in the golf tournament for baseball stars in Florida. Babe Ruth, touted all these years, rates far behind Paul Derringer, Paul Waner and other basebal satellites. He had trouble winning from Dizzy Dean, who still hopes to break SO before he dies.

I E. Hill, vi ho reads this column In far away Waco, reminds The Speculator that Texas U. gave Jack Clievigney a new contract instead of a tankful of to get himself and that spiffy LaSalle roadster out of town. Hill's letter is accompanied by favor- nblo columnar comment from several Tevas sport scribes, all of them agreeing that Chevigney had poor material last season a deserved another chance. i QODMAR Country club has been losing plenty of members since the dues were boosted $2 per month.

Some reports say that as many as 30 1935 members have decided to call it quits' There is always a conspicuous drop in membership at most club during the off-season, but something more serious must be in the air now because President Lou Garman has called an important session for next Monday night. Those who like high scoring basketball should have been at Wilmington, Sunday when the locals took a 71-64 decision from the Bendix Brakes, of South Bend. That means better than points per minute. Branch Rickey apparently is the highest paid executive in babe- ball, excepting Judge Landis, high commissioner. Rickey drew $49,470 in 1934, according to congressional reports, and probably got as much in 1335.

So wonder IIP thumbed a nose at the National league presidency which pays only $25,000. I i Parting Shot: The spelling is R-E-T-Z-L-A-F-F not L-E-T'S-L-A-F-F.

They hope to repeat tonight when they will invade bouth Bend to play the Studebakers, and expect to make it three in a row against the East Chicago Merchants Sunday afternoon in the Whiting Community Center gym.

Against the Medinah five the Ciesars opened with a bang and coasted through to an easy victory. Their playing was superb and once again they were executing their plays i perfection. Alike Wickhorst, veteran campaigner of the cage floor, se 1 the pace for the Ciesars by collecting six baskets and three frer throws for 15 points. Wickhorst was running around the floor like a youngster and put on a real exhibition of speed and tricky passing, in addition to showing the Chicago fans how capable he is of sinking baskets from all angles of the floor.

Emerson is only one game behind the Purple lads with Froebel and Valparaiso in third and fourth positions.

Louis and Charley 1 a are down for "15 rounds or fewer" at the Stadium tomorrow night, and the "fewer" is the only subject of debate. An informal run-down of the cauliflower reporters--a dozen TO BROADCAST FIGHT CHICAGO, Jan. --The Joe Louis-Charley Retzlaff fight will be broadcast Friday night over a national network (NBC). The fight is scheduled to start at 10 p. m.

from New York and as many on the local belts--failed to uncover even one who th'nks that Retzlaff will have to labor for more than five rounds before going to a shower and a rubdown. The build-up of the fight has hit two major points. Firstly, that Retzlaff, after years of campaigning, has discovered a left that works. Secondly that Charles is aiming to come out with only one thought in mind --to rip over a history-making right, within the first GO seconds. belatedly discovered portside punch is just one of those things.

Charles probably will do no more than touch Louis's coffee-colored features with that weapon. The one- shot wallop is something else and it constitutes the only real reason why somewhere between $80,000 and $100,000 will be laid one the line for tickets. It's always possible that a puncher could start one that Joseph might not duck under or ward off. And while Louis is a super- boxer and a super-fighter he isn't a superman in the sense that ho could not be stopped. is a terrific slugger and if the miracle should happen there would be an interesting story to set down.

But none of these considerations have affected the odds which say three-to-one that Retzlaff joins the Kayoed-by- Louis club which includes such parties as Maximilhan Baer, Primo "Fatch" Camera, Platinum-tusked Paulino Uzcudun, and the impossible Mr. Kingfish Levmsky, and does so within the space of three rounds. Being very brutal and frank one could set down that Retzlaff doesn't "look too god." His workouts have been several notches under the inspiring mark. He's displayed a good bit of earnestness making use of his left hand, but this has a mechanical appearance rather than a natural one. If Retzlaff had been propping for an ordinary heavyweight nobody would be too sanguine of his chances.

But against the Detroit Negro Charles doesn't seem to rate serious consideration. It just doesn't seem possible that Retzlaff could succeed where others with ostensibly brighter chances failed so dismally. RETZLAFF SIGNED CHICAGO, Jan. --The astute Mike Jacobs thinks of everything. Before lending Joe Louis to Chicago for the match with Charley a tomorrow night, Jacobs, it was revealed today, insisted on signing Retzlaff to a contract that requires the North Dakotan to make his three next appearances for the New York promoter In the event he beats Louis.

Ferris Says TeamsRaised Own Expenses Anticipated A i a i Campaign; Contributions Are Larger By DAVIS 3. WALSH (I. N.

S. Sports Editor) EW JTORK, Jan. business men who previously, have acted as chairmen and campaign-leaders for the Olympic fund in their communities and sections are "taking the fence" on the proposition this time because they either agree with or do not care to go counter to anti-Nazi sentiment in this country. Some have abruptly changed their minds, after first seeming inclined to accept chairmanships. Some did accept and later withdrew.

Admitting that these statements are true, Daniel J. Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the A. A. U. and member fthe Olympic committee, nevertheless declared today that funds to send an American team to Berlin this summer will be easier to raise than ever before.

"Yes. we've bad trouble in persuading the proper men to represent the fund in the various districts," Ferris conceded. "In fact, we're still having trouble. But, for once, this is a comparatively minor consideration in our plans. The fund will be subscribed and ready for disbursement before we sail, for the first time the history of our Olympic competition.

"Why. fo rone thing, private contributions are bigger. But the real reason is that our financial set-up has a better balance. Every sport is now self-supporting, instead of drawing its budget from the track and field receipts. For instance, our winter sports team, now in.

Germany, has already paid for itself. We started our preparations more than a year ago. We're ready now." That remark, by the way. to tell the whole story of the Olympic controversy up in a dog fight on the floor of the recent A. A.

U. convention. Prominent "antis" like Judge Mahoney and Mr. Di Benedetto, of New Orleans, did not deploy into action, until alleged renewal of racial and religious intolerance hit the headlines a few months before. The stand-pats were so determined to havs America represented at Berlin that they quietly began their preparation slate in 1934.

The result, according to Ferris, is that the ski jumpers and figure skaters now at Garmisch-Parten- kirchen raised all necessary expenses through exhibitions in thia country before they left. The bobsledders and skaters raised practically all. As for the swimmers, they will have their final tryouts during the Tercententary celebration in Rhode Island and expect to write off the entire expenses of their trip abroad. This, if true, will leave the track and field receipts to be applied almost entirely to che care of the runners and jumpers who draw the money at the gate. "And," says Mr.

Ferris, "if you don't think this is a relief, you don't know your Olympic financial history.
