Big Ten Spotlight Brought to / Play by New Charges

Chicago. June 6 GP-The Big Ten conference volcano today rumbled and seethed with indications of a second major eruption.
 Purdue university was in the glare Of the searchlight. following charges yesterday by Coach Everett Case of Frankfort. Ind. high school. that the Lafayette institution was as guilty as the University of Iowa. in the matter of proselyting and subsi- dizing athletes.
 Case today was to bare his charges to Major John l.. Griffith. Big Ten athletic commissioner
 Case made his charges after he had been accused, presumably by Purdue. of trading some of the mem- bers of his Indiana championship basketball teams. for summer school credits from the University of Iowa. The charges against Case said that Bob Spradling and Doyle Plunkett, members Of the Iowa five last year, were induced by the Frankfort coach to enroll at Iowa. after he had re- cefved credits from Iowa. Irked by the charge. Case offered to present proof that Ward Lambert, Purdue basketball coach. had made over- lures to Spradling and Plunkett X few hours before they left for Iowa City.
 President Edward C. Elliott of Purdue and Nelson A. Kellogg, di- rector of athletics. said they would welcome an investigation of Cases charges and that they did not be- lieve anyone connected with Purdue was guilty of proselyting or paying athletes.
 Lambert could not be reached. having started by automobile for Pullman. Wash. where he is to con- duct summer coaching course.
 At Iowa City. officials of the uni- versity of Iowa were going about the business of cleaning house. F.. H. Lauer. director of athletics. said no charges had been made against in- dividual athletes. but that he would make trip ao Chicago to learn if Major Griffith had evidence against any Iowa men.
 Griffith said he contemplated no action against Iowa athletes or of ficials. Lauer also said that the spe- cial committee of the Big Ten fac ulty body. which yesterday denied Iowa's petition for immediate rein statement. had not asked that George Bresnahan. track coach and supervisor of intercollegiate ath- letics, be removed.

COURT STAR CLAIMS HE
 GOT OFFER PRON PURDUE
verse: Robert Spradling, Iowa Basketball Star, Makes Sensational
 Charges.

Des Moines, Ia.. June 6.-R-The Des Moines Register. in 8 copy righted story today quoted Robert Spradling, Iowa basketball star. as saying he was offered all expenses by a friend of Purdue" if he would enter that school and play basket ball.
 Spradling. whose home is in Frankfort. Indiana. said he was willing to make frank statement of his relations with both Iowa and Purdue should the Big Ten cali upon him to do so, the newspaper said.
 Coach Ward Lambert. Purdue basketball coach, knew of the of fer" the story added. and urged Spradlins to accept it. Instead he accepted a job waiting on table and tending a furnace for his board and room at an Iowa fraternity with the understanding he would join the fraternity"
 Spradling's reported testimony supports the charge made by Ever cit Case. Frankfort. Indiana. high school basketball coach that Lam bert went to spradling's home to persuade him from matriculating at Iowa two hours before he was to leave.
 Case was to reveal his charges that Purdue was guilty of proselyt- ing and subsidizing athletes before John l.. Griffith, Big Ten athletic commissioner, at Chicago today.

KID CHOCOLATE
 GIVEN DECISION
Sharp Difference of Opinion Be-
 tween Judges and Referee

Philadelphia, June R-Sharp difference of opinion between judges and referee formed foundation upon which many an argument was luilt today as to which boy ostab- lished margin of supremacy in ten tempestuous rounds last night be- tween Kid Chocolate. Cuba's fistic sensation, and Vidal Gregorio, fiery Spanish bantamweight title-con- tender.
 Chocolate kept his unblemished ring record unsullied when he won the decision, but it was GreSorio who was the idol of the crowd of riore than ao.00o persons at Shibe park. The fancy of the spectators was captured by the courageous rushing attack of the little Spaniard and at the conclusion of the ten rounds the rabid thrill-seekers lust fly booted their derision of the de cision.
 The two judges voted for Choco- late. while Referee Tommy Reilly cast his ballot for Gregorio. A chor- us of protests that equalled the carly showers of rain descended upon the field with the decision announcement. and it stopped only when the fiery Gregorio took a bow in ring. A mighty ovation greeted the dancing, lowing little toreador.
 Immediately after the jam. Louis c,,t nf Ch0en1afp H. nounced that his charge had injured both of his thumbs in the fourth DC riod. The injuries. he said, would compel Chocolate to cancel num- Der of engagements arranged fo, him.
 The injured thumbs evidently did not bother the Cuban, for he con- tinued to whang away with both fists right up to the finish. Fans commented that it didn't look at all as though the Kid had anything the matter with him from the tips of is fingers to the ends of his toes.
 Chocolate weighed 119M pounds and Grcgorio weighed 117I. After Gregorio had pelted the col orcd boy about the body to take the first round. the Kid snared the sec ond, out-boxing and out-punching the overseas ringster. The third heat was an even number and Ni- daTs flashing lists won him the fourth. Chocolate had slight mar gin in the fifth. sixth. and seventh. Gregorio's offensive gave him the edge in the next two rounds. Cho- co'ate won the final round. The fight might have been one Of those Battling Nelson-Joe Cans en- counters of yore. so similar was the type of battling of the two little bantamweights of the present day to the method of fighting employed by the celebrated fistmen of yester- year. Chocolate played the role ot Cans. while Gregorio. flashing
 courageous. and with stout body and stout heart, enacted the role ol 1 Nelson.

 The golfer pictured in the tr~e here is simply making use of one of the golf rules which reads. You can stand out of bounds and play a ball in bounds" Remember the out Of bounds sign only affects he ball.
 The out of bounds limits are usu- ally well marked and the rules and penalties are we'll defined.
 The ball is out of bounds when the greater part of the ball lies in the restricted area.
 Then penalty. according to the IL. s. c. A. rules. is stroke and distance, unless otherwise defined by local or district association rules.
 Many golf associations simply pe- nalize a ball out of bounds by dis tance only.
 If a bah lies out of bounds. the player shall play his next stroke us nearly as posiable at the spot from which the ball which is out Of bounds was played, adding a penalty stroke to the score of the hole.
 If the stroke was played from the teeing ground. ball may be teed; in all other cases, ball should be dropped.
 Remember the rule provides for the playing of a provisional ball. Here Is the rule: Tn order to save stroke considers that his ball may delay, if a player after making a be out of bounds. he may at once play another ball in the manner pro- eided for in the rules. but if he dis covers that the first ball is not out of bounds. it shall continue in play without penalty"

There will be . great deal missing from the Falcon baseball team next Sunday when 1he nine starts out tt play without "Aickey Noonan be- hind the bat. '.starhead" Budnick on second, 'sChucky" Wojack oil third and ''Aficky" Huber in the field. This quarter numbers among the most colorful players in the city.
 Noonan, especially. will be sorely tnisSed by the team. His heady work behind the bat and his dtrec- ton of plays has made his services invaluable to the club. A question of money has caused his release, it Is understood.
 Ed Hurley, Hartford fight pro- moter. expects to land Tony Can- xoneri to fight Kid" kaplan as the next outdoor attraction at Bulkeley Stadium in Hartford. This would be a blue- banner meeting for any date this summer.
 We have been asked to settle an argument that cropped up in a baseball game recently The situa. ton is as follows. A man is oI third base and another on second. The man on second, on play, runs to third touching the bag and rum ming off the man already there.
 The fielder throws the ball to the homo ~plate. Both runners return to their respective bases. one at third and the other at second.
 A claims that the runner on third was forced at home. B claims that all hands are safe.
 B Is right under the circum- stances and the rule governing the play is Rule 52 under Base Run- ming Rules and Legal Order of Bases. Section 3 of that rule reads 'In case a runner is being run down between bases and the follow ing runner occupies the same base the first runner has left, the second man cannot be put out while hold ing said base. If the first runner. however. returns safely to the base he left. and both runners are then occupying the game base. the second runner is the man out. IF TOUGH ED WITH THE BALL.
 The rule appears to be very clear with regard to the case in question.
 These arguments crop out every 50 often even among the veteran players and it is good thing to look into the rule book every once in a while.
