YOUNGSTERS ONCE BANNED BY ALLEYS So Many Roll Now Managers May Install Small Ball for Their Use. BY R. D. THOMAS. AMMA and Papa are tak- ing son and sis to the bowling alleys so often that managers of several leading establishments contem- plate putting smaller balls on the racks for the youngsters’ special use. They find it difficult to grasp the regulation 5-inch sphere. ‘What a contrast with 15 years ago! Lads in pantaloons were shooed away and a woman's appearance in bowling plant was a noveity.

By the Associated Press. YORK, January 20.—Little Johnny Risko, the Cleveland baker boy, is too amall and deli- cate to be exposed to the heavy punches of Victorio Campolo, Argen- tine gaucho, in New York State, so the New York State Boxing Commission, in solemn conclave, ruled yesterday in declining to sanction the Risko-Cam- polo bout Madison Square Garden had scheduled for February 7. The commission said that Risko, who has met them all and whipped most of them, would be no match lor Campolo, who dropped a decision to Phil Scott his last American start. Risko whipped Scott at Cleveland several years ago and has beaten among others Otto von Porat, Ricardo Bertazzolo, Jack Sharkey, Jimmy Maioney, George Godfrey, Paulino Uzcudun and Jack Delaney. The commission’s decision came as a shock to sports writers. Risko, & rough- and-ready customer at all times, has been able to protect himself without outside help every ttime he has fought here. He has been particularly suc- cessful against the bigger heavyweights. Campolo at 2256 pounds would have about 30 pounds on Risko, but that margin would not trouble him. Jack Dempsey did not find Jess Willard's huge bulk at Toledo a handicap, mor have hundreds of other champions and near-champions. Primo May Shadow Box. The more facetious among the com- mission’s critics asked what the com- mission was going to do about getting another opponent for Primo Carnera, the Giant Italian. Carnera, weighing 270 pounds, 18 in a class by himself so far as weight goes. The commission could not permit any of the current heavyweights to meet Carnera and re- main consistent. Campolo, possibly the biggest outside of Carnera himself, scarcely could be permitted to meet the Italian, for he would be outweighed by 40 :pounds. George Godfrey, who fights at about 230 or 235 pounds, is heavier and stronger than Campolo, but then he is 189 | 50 much shorter than Camera that the commission hardly could allow him to get into the ring with the Venetian carpenter. That about exhausts the eld. In fact, if the commission sticks to its ruling, there is no fleld for Carnera. He will have to content himself, ap- parently, with shadow boxing if he wants to fight in New York State. Ppaper Alliance.) (Next: Sam Langford.) WITH W. O. & This :l “:me sports ory.

HOWARD U. QUINTET MAKING TITLE BID| ‘With a quint that has shown strength | both on attack and defense, Howard University is making a determined bid for the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association basket ball title. The Bisons have won all three of their starts so far in assoclation games and have high hopes of achieving the crown. Faced with the necessity of filling the places of Simpson, Coates and Hinton, dependables of the Bison quint of a campaign ago, Howard’s prospects at the start of the campaign were by no means rosy, but Coach Simpson in Hall, Syphax and Smith has hit upon three tossers who have filled the gaps in effi- cient style. Hall, a member of last sea~ son's freshmen quint, is exhibiting a flashy game. Howard will begin the crucial part of its schedule Saturday, when the Bisons entettain West Virginia in the Howard sym. Lincoln, ancient foe of Bisons, will be Howard's next opponent in the C. I A. A. series. The game will be played on the Howard court February 5.

You can- not draw comparisons in this game any more than you can draw them in_the manly art of modified murder. “How would Dempsey compare with Jeffries? How would Gene Tunney compare with John L. Sullivan?” ask. And all that you can get out of pondering over these q“!“tfl"‘:“ is an n{mnovn of heat- ed_but fuf argument. ‘While he was still with the University , Red Grange held a season’s record for scoring. That is something to go by—but it is not always the player who carries the ball across the line that is the most valuable player to the team. | This game is a team essentially, and in | another setting Red Grange might not | have attained this record. Again I say that I am not min- imizing the achievements of Mr. Red (Harold) Grange, but it must be re- membered that when he ran for Tllinois he mdnwim hi(n{hl wa;n trained by Zuppke, one of the great- est of t‘)’l’g coaches of modern foot ball. He was part of one of the best geared foot ball machines that ever ‘was turned loose on a gridiron. This one had a lone horseman instead of the four horsemen of the - trained machine which preceded it. ‘The horsemen, lone or quartets, get nowhere without a good strong fast line and the co-ordination of the other men on the team. Red G played to a bigger gallery than any them. In his senior year he entered the professional field under the management of C. C. Pyle, a master of the sporting ballyhoo. = Then, very rankly, he sought ballyhoo rather than touchdowns for the sake of the gate receipts—all of which is natural enough | in a professional. Professionalized intercollegiate foot ball was launched with a loud noise, but somehow it did not take very effectively. Of course, those who could not see Red Grange when he was running wild for Tllinois wanted to see astonishing fleet- ness. Every five yards meant so much in dollars, and Mr. Grange was running himself into a fairly good bank account. And they let him run. In profes- sional foot ball Red Grange was the box office attraction—the goose that laid the golden eggs. If Grange were | injured so that he would not be able to play there would be a falling off in the | gate receipts and a deficit in the pay | roll. Consequently, Mr. Grange was not | hurt seriously while he was playing pro- | fessional foot ball. That vogue died out and the professional leagues started to [ pt. The Famous Iceman. R.

He did not remain at Illinois long enough to get this degree. The gate receipts were calling to him and to Mr. Pyle, especially to Mr. Pyle. Grange left the university to head 'his own professional foot ball team and to gain yardage, which would be more or less permanently recorded on the cash register. He said later that when he had made enough to guarantee inde- pendence for himself and his family, and to lift the mortage from the old homestead, he would return and work out the senior year for his sheepskin. That was some few years ago. Mr. Red Grange is still shy his degree. Per- haps he feels that he can get along without it. The Genius of Pyle. NTERCOLLEGIATE foot ball always should be grateful to Red Grange. He demonstrated that it could not be successfully professionalizsed and thrown on the open market like base ball and ice hockey. Or perhaps the credit is due to Mr. C. C. Pyle, who conceived the idea of cashing on the overballyhoo that was bullt around Red Grange when he was running wild for Illinols. It must be recalled that Mr. Pyle performed the same service for tennis when he included Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen and some of the other amateur stars in this game to join his one-night stand troupe of :professional tennis players. ‘The wages of professional tennis are not very high. It seems that most of these stars regretted that they deserted the amateur courts to play directly on the cash register, But the professionalizing of Red Grange and the capitalization of his campus prestige alarmed those who hold their intercollegiate foot ball sacred no little, It increased the talk of over- emphasis. The critics who hold reason- ably enough that it is overemphasized and overballyhooed. held up Grange as the terrible example, The deflection of Mile. Lenglen alarmed the tennis le to the same extent. They were afrald that Mr. Pyle would get them all, and that the best of the tennis players would be on the one-night stands instead of working for Davis cups and Weightman cups. But Mr. Pyle overplayed his hand. The Bunion, or Sore-dog Derby, finished him. Tennis is back to normaley. It seems that there never will be the bally- hoo for another foot ball player that there was with Red e. in- ducements for foot ball sters have be- come 50 lean that the game is safe for the colleges.

KAMM, As told to John F. McCann, HEN I broke into the Ameri- can League, with all the glamour and wide publicity ‘that went with it of being the world's highest priced “rookle,” you can bet I was plenty nervous. It was 1023 and happened in Cleveland. I came direct from the Pacific Coast League, where the White Sox obtained me, and, to make matters worse for my breaking-in game, I was presented with a huge floral horseshoe just before game time, “wired” on from California by my good friends, Denny Carroll and Doc Jones. It didn't serve to settle my nervousness any, but I got away to a splendid start through some fine work in the field. The happlest part of that starting me, though, was a two-bagger off oveleskie on my second trip to bat which bumped off the right-field wall. It sort of topped off the day for me, but you may be certain I was happy when I had “stowed away” my first game in the majors. I suppose my starting in base ball was like a lot of others—just the old story of a good day while a scout was watching, but, then, I always was lucky to have played with such fine fellows who did all they could to help me im- prove. I could list so many names of phx'en, managers, etc,, who advised me and I want to say that I surely appre- ciate all the help I received. It is a lot easier to see other ple’s faults than your own and a little advice goes a long way. BUSTING INTO BASE BALL the Major Leagues.” CHICAGO. WHITE SOX INFIELOER.4 Coming into the big leagues as the first $100,000 recruit didn't help me one bit in breaking in and even now— after six years—I am still trying to live it down. I often wished I had “sneaked” into the American League as an unknown. The fans wouldn't have expected near so much and wouldn’t have had to try so hard and press myself to do better than perhaps I can do. I believe the price tags are & load. A player can perform so much better when he is natural—but that $100,000 label made it tougher. (Copyright. 1830, by North America News- paper Alliance. CHICAGD STARTLED BY 11-DAY DECISION llinois Boxing Body Rules Lomski Wins Long After Draw Is Called. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, January 20.— The “11-day decision” has joined the now famous “14 count” as Chicago's contributions to the oddities of the prize ring. Last night, 11 days after Leo Lomski, the “Aberdeen assassin,” had exchanged round house rights and lefts for 10 rounds with James Braddock, the rug- ged light-heavyweight from Jersey City, the Illinois State Athletic Commission revealed that an error had been made by the referee and that Lomski was en- titled to the decision instead of a draw. The ruling was made official and the many fans, who wagered heavily on the outcome of atch, found them- selves rocelvlnf of paying out as the unexpected ruling dictated. Undue excitement and roor arith- metic on the part of the referee, Davey Miller, was bl for the mix-up by the commission. At the conclusion of the fight one ju voted for Lomski, another voted for Braddock, while Mil- ler called the match a draw with his deciding vote, The decision was booed by thousands of the fans, most of whom believed Lomski to be the winner by a wide margin, even though he was floored once. The next day. Secretary Walter George of the commission examined the score sheets of the judges and referee, the commission's explanation said, and discovered that even, the commission’s statement, “so noth- ing could be done until his return. As soon as he did return he inspected it, discovered his error and was anxious to correct it. “Thus. the corrected card gives two dock. Hence, Lomski is hereby ruled the winner by a decision.” 4 LIEB MAY LAND JOB AS GOPHERS’ COACH B the Associated Press.

WILL SEEK GLORY ON DIXIE COURSES Chick Also to Shoot for Titles in National Open and Amateur. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, January 29.— Chick Evans, the Chicago golf amateur, whose play slumped badly through the last two seasons, after he had staged a sensational comeback and marched to the finals of the 1927 national championship, does not believe that he is through as a topnotch performer. Evans thinks he can again beat his way back to the front ranks of the game, and this week he will start his 930 campaign in the annual pan- American championship, to be played at Edgewater, Miss, It will be the first time Chick has competed in a South- ern Winter championship since 1911, when he won the North and South at Pinehurst. His entry now is indicative of the se- riousness with which he takes his ef- fort to come back, and his play along the Gulf Coast will be & barometer of his chances to regain the skill which apparently was lost last Summer, To Meet Stern Rivalry. Evans will encounter some good op- position in the pan-American. Among his potential foes will be Jack Westland, present Prench amateur champion; Gus Novotny, holder of the pan-Ameri- can title; Johnny Lehman, who quali- fied fifth in the national at Pebble Beach; Jimmy Manion of St. Louis and Fred Lamprecht, twice holder of the national intercollegiate champlonship, Once before Evans was accounted all through and the U. 8. G, A. dropped him from the 1926 Walker Cup team, even as it did this year. Then Chick went out and began to play real golf. He staged a fine rally in the amateur at Baltusrol and the following year at Minneapolis Bobby Jones shot one of the most sensational rounds in the his- wgal golf to stop the Chicagoan. ans believes that the U, B. G. A. did him a favor in selecting lis_and Phll‘de’:rhh 1930 champlonships. It was at Mini- kanda that Chick won the open in 1016 and reached the finals in the 1927 ama- teur. While the 1930 open will be g:m at Interlachen—jfust a few miles m Minikanda—Chick thinks the Min- nesota air and landscape will do much to rejuvenate his game, Merion Cricket Club, venue of the 1930 amateur, was the scene of Evans’ first victory in that event, the year he won the open. No Golf Patriarch. While Evans is one of the real vet- erans of amateur golf, he is not yet a triarch. He is younger than Dr. O. 3 wmm‘f and Chandler Egan and not much older than Francis Ouimet and Harrison Johnsto) nston. ‘This Winter season has dealt 1y with some of the leading professionals, and there are many who have yet to win their first money. Walter igen has collected just $80 for his work in Pacific Coast toyrnaments, but has had a lot of fun.
