Best in Minors?

Termed the greatest pitcher in the
minor leagues last year, Hutchin-
sons claim to that distinction-or
rather his friends claim to that hon.
or for him-can be disputed. Paul
Trout, Sandcut, Ind, idol, won %
games and lost in the Texas
league. Hutchinson won Is and lost
z in the Pacific Coast league. Trout's
victories were gathered in three and
one-haf months of play while Hutch
inson's were compiled in six months
of competition. ALI in all, Trout's
record for the year was the more
formidable.
Nevertheless, Hutchinson Is q
great ball player. He was beaten
only once as 4 high school pitcher,
twice as an American Legion pitch
er, twice while hurting for Yakima
and seven times last year. That is
. great record.
His immediate future would be in
less doubt if the superlative praise
would come to a sudden end. Few
things are as harmful to a young
athlete as extravagant, over-done
acclaim. His personal cheering Sec
ton would do well to soft pedal its
applause until the season is under
way.

Court Puzzler

X ASkETBALL'S rules manipu-
= lat0rs soon may be faced with
another task-that Of devising some
method to make goal tending illegal.
AS the rules now stand any unusu-
ally tall player can station himself
beneath the basket and with no more
than slight jump bat opponents
shots away from the danger zone.
This was thoroughly demonstrated
during the past season by Mike No
yak, six-fo0t-nine-inch center of the
Loyola university team in Chicago.
The altitudinous Mike stationed him.
self under the basket and when the
opposition shot from outside he
would merely raise his long right
arm. jump about two and a half
feet Oh the door. and Flip the ball
away.
Novak's contribution wasn't only
to the defensive side. His tremen-
dous height enabled him to tally
something better than 10 points q
game to Loyola's total.
Officials and fans are generally
agreed that too great a premium is
placed on height. It gives a player
an almost unsurmountable advan-
tage, demoralizing members of the
opposing team. On the other hand
they argue that it isn't fair to pena-
lie player. because he happens to
reach nearer the clouds than his fell
low-athletes.
There isn't quite as much danger
in the situation as is seen on the
surface. A majority Of abnormally
tall athletes are physically handi-
capped in that they are often slow,
awkward and a trifle freakish. This
is not true of Novak. Nat Holman,
the old Celtic hero and for 20 years
coach Of City College basketball.
calls Novak fine athlete and the
best college player he has ever seen.
The argument is one that can stay
fresh for years. And it is doubtful if
the rules committee will take dras-
tic action on the question in the
very near future.

of automobile financing. A larger

because the device of credit provides
a convenient way to get new trans

plans have been available for many
years. the public never has known

Canzoneri Lacks Old
Tiger Qualities in
Losing 10 Brink
Displays Greet Croft,
But Underdoe Proves
Too Rugged for Him
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. March 29.-There'
more of the fox" and less of the
tiger" in little Tonly Canzoneri
these days, but the one isn't enough
to offset lack of the other.
That fact stood out today from
the close decision the former light
weight champion dropped to Irish
Eddie Brink of Scranton, Pa, dis
tinct underdog. before a crowd of
1860. which paid 1925 so to see the
charity show at the Hippodrome last
night.
Throughout the fight Tony gave
a masterful exhibition of ring craft
There were minutes at time when
he bobbed and weaved out of the
way of furry after furry of punches
the black haired Scrantonian tossed
at him. But there were just enough
times that he bobbed when he
should have weaved, to give Brink
the verdict by a narrow margin.
A far cry from the little fellow
once ranked as the greatest battler
in the world for his weight and
inches, Canzoneri fought only in
furries. while Brink was swinging
from bell to bell. Through the sew
enth round, it appeared Tony could
take his man any time be wanted,
but the Pennsylvania. - weighed
1899 to Canzoneri's 14134, kept right
on tossing punches to pull out in
front and gain revenge for the
eight-round setback the ex-light-
weight king handed him few weeks
ago.
Afterward, Tony, downhearted, in
his dressing room said he thought
he had the fight well in hand" and
that he had won. It was only the
second loss on his comeback road Of
about a dozen fights.
