DAILY SPORTS CARTOON /‘hTCHCOCK 8 ELEVENTH A3 ToMMY FOR THE TIME HE ToPs THE ouTPOoOR st W A RATING A1 Rigkts Reserved by The Associated Press Because he gives so thorough a slani on the activities in one of the big sports sections of the great American midlands, we like the re- sponse of Fred Ware, of the Oma- ha World-Herald to the first point raised in the latest Associated Press sports questionnaire. Fred takes the floor: “You ask for the three most popular sports. From the stand- point of our readers, they are: football, baseball and golf. “From the standpoint of playing activity in Nebraska they. more likely are: golf, track and field and basketball. “Every . whistling point, even on| the branch railroads has .a golf course. “Basketball is played by prac- tically every high school and by every college and academy in the state and by scores of ‘towns’ A.

A. U. meet attracted the largest crowd |in National A. A. U, history to | Lincoln. This figure would have been broken last summer had not the affair been concurrent with a lovely rain. The Big Six games which are ahmost a perennial Lin- coln affair, generally pay out. “There were more than 350 high school track teams in Nebraska ‘last spring, and there are only 400 members of the state high school athletic association. Schulte tours the state each year and preaches his favorite sport. Truly old Henry could be governor on any ticket. Baseball Attendance Small ) “Baseball interest, save in cer- tain small sections where amateur leagues have done well, is over- whelmingly in the races in the majors. Our state league made money last season, even though the total attendance must have been somewhat less than the crowd at the Kansas Nebraska football game. Sale of players did it. “Paid attendance at Western league games here is very often under 100. Two bit bargain nights worked two or three times and then the customers refused even to BEWARE THE COUGH OR COLD THAT HANGS ON Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold ac- *tion; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs, creosote is recog- nized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for per- sistent coughs and colds and other forms of t:;.\n troubles. Creomulsion oom.i;:, in addition to: healing ele. ments which. um“em:d heal the infected other ® membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on-to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the eeat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guar: satisfac- tory in the treatment of sistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respira- tory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money i [vield two bits. | “Thus the disparity between fan interest and paying activity. Golf ‘has its ermy of readers and its army of players, and they seem | approximately of equal size. Foot- ball out here is a good sports column topic in June as is golf in January. “Basketball's reader interest is growing rapidly, along with attend- ance. Nebraska university’s small- est crowd last year was 3,000, it's |largest very nearly 7,000. The same holds true at Creighton, in Omaha :and at colleges and high schools |out-state.” Speaking of thrills, Ware adds: “One of the most thrilling bits of laction I've ever witnessed took |place at the Drake Relays in 1926 when Roland Locke did the 100 yard stretch in 95 seconds—in a ‘heavy rain!” - SPORT BRIEFS .[ . | South Carolina has placed five {new opponents on its football | schedule for 1932, | | Play on one Joplin, Mo., golf course dropped off 1.6 percent and jon another about 10 percent, dur- |ing 1931. | The Texas Christian university !cage team, champions of the South |west conference, lost but one game during a recent barnstorming tour \of the midwest. In their six preliminary games before the Big Ten seaso nopened, University of Minnesota basketball- ers averaged 35% points to ‘the opponents’ 21, winning all the games.

W DIXON, WILSON FIGHT TO DRAW Sullivan and Nationalista Thrown from Ring for Stalling PORTLAND, Oregon, Jan. 27.— Georgiz Dixon, of Portland, and Norman Wilson, of Vancouver, B. C. fought six rounds to a draw last night. Dixon weighed 167 pounds and Wilson one pound less. Paddy Sullivan, of Los Angeles, 123 pounder, and Young National- ista, 125 pounds, were thrown out of the ring by the referee in the fifth round of a six-round semi- final, for alleged stalling. |COHOES BREAK THEIR [LOSING STREAK WHEN|™ 'BARRAGAR ROLLS 655 | | After dropping the first game to the Shrimps, making seven losses |in a row, the Cohoe bowlers broke |into the win column with a bang |last night to take the next two jcontests on the Elk alleys. Captain Barragar, who has been below par in his bowling so far in the tournament, ran up a total of 645 pins as his contribution to- ward his team's cause. His third game figured 255. In the first match of the evening the Sockeyes knocked over 89 more pins than did the Chums, but they used poor judgment in distribution and droped two out of threegames, by margins of five and six pins, respectively. No games will be played tonight on account of lodge. Sockeyes 140 158 . 201 . 134 160 146 135 9 865 Chums 183 159 152 | Stewart H. Messer. A.

[ 1JOE VOSMIK'S HISTORY SELLS FARMING IDEA Cleveland Indians Hope to Make Great Showing by New System CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan 27.—If only the Cleveland Indians can the most sensational [first-year players in baseball history, on their newly-acquired Toledo farm they will be well satisfied with the in- vestment, | Had the Indians not owned the |Frederick Club of the Blue Ridge teircuit three years ago it is prob- able Vosmik would still be playing on the sandlots. When the Indians sent Vosmik to Frederick in 1929, the rookie made a miserable showing the first week. It is probable that had the club been independently owned the manager would have sent him home. But the Cleveland manage- ment had seen more of him, and wouldn't believe it had a lemon. Joe was ordered kept in the line- Frederick Sold Club The result sold Pres. Alva Brad- {ley of the Cleveland club on the farm idea, although Frederick, Md., and Terre Haute, Ind., farms prov- ed bad financially and they were sold. So when opportunity came to get an option with the privilege to buy a class AA outfit Bradley took the chance. The Indians’ only other adven- ture in farms was in 1914 when the Toledo club was purchased and brought to Cleveland for two years. | This, however, was a “war meas ure” designed to fight the Federal league of that time. For some time the Indians have had a working agreement with the New Orleans Pelicans, an arrange- {ment that is expected to continue. Players Fell Short Cleveland ventures into Chain farms were failures partly because |the experiments were in smaller !leagues and players could be devel- oped openly to a point just short of |big ‘league style. Now the Indians hope to develop players through |class A at New Orleans, and class AA at Toledo, to the big league. For the most part the club has |drawn _its strength from clubs be- |{low class AA. Dick Porter, of Bal- timore, and Earl Averill, of San | Francisco, are the outstanding ex- ceptions. Among regular pitchers Wesley Farrell, Willis Hudlin, Mel Harder and Clint Brown, all came from class A or below. —— ILOILO DEFEATS | JUNEAU BOWLERS : BY LARGE SCORE The Toilo five defeated the Ju- negu team last night on the Brunswick bowling alleys by a score of 2355 to 2281, The individual scores folllow: Tloilo 169 134 121 e 164 . 133 183 143 159 143 168 181 163 154 156 184 Nabalis ........
