: JNDIRECTLY, the St. Paul Saints, American Association champions, must bear part of Monty Stratton’s loss to baseball. . . . The Apostles were to receive two pitchers
from the White Sox next spring, promised when the Sox were counting on the Texan as a mainstay of their staff. -
Now the Chicago Americans are in hard straits for pitching themselves and for protection must keep everyone who shows any trace of mound ability. Indianapolis fans recall Stratton’s great pitching when he was with St. Paul under Marty McManus in 1935. . . He won 17 games on a mediocre club and seldom was * batted hard. : Baseball will never know just how good Monty was. . . « He was hurt in spring training this year, and getting off to a poor start, had to hustle to capture 15 games. : : ® 2 8 : : 8 2 8 ERNIE BIERMAN, Minnesota football coach, pays tribute to Tom Harmon, the Hoosier from Gary who - starred in the Michigan backfield this year... . The Gophers’ head mentor said: “I believe everyone who saw Harmon the day he played against Minnesota will agree with me that he was the best all around back the Big Ten had to offer this year. “There were other good ones, but Harman was outstanding. He undoubtedly had much to do with Michigan's tremendous improvement over a year ago. The Crisler machine lost only one game and this sophomore back was a prominent reason for that splendid record.” » ® ® » » #”
J anas 1939 grid card again calls for only two home games but they are a couple of choice attractions, Nebraska at Bloomington, Sept. 30; Purdue at Bloomington, Nov. 25. . . . The tilt with the Cornhuskers is early for a major game but will give Bo McMillin a head start in learning what is what on his squad, Michigan State and Fordham are new on the Crimson menu and replace Kansas State and Boston College. . . . There isn’t a single breather booked. . . . Take a look at the slate in addition to Nebraska and Purdue: Oct. 7, at Iowa; Oct. 14, at Wisconsin; Oct. 21, at Illinois; Nov. 4, at Ohio State; Nov. 11, at Fordham; Nov. 18, at Michigan State, # ” 8 2 f 4 »
x of Indiana’s 1939 opponents favor the Notre Dame system since they are coached by former N. D. warriors. . . . They are Iowa, to be directed by Eddie Anderson, who takes over fro Harry Stuhldreher; Fordham, Jimmy Crowley; Bachman, snd Purdue, Mal Elward. e Hoosiers are to play five Big Ten rivals and probably wil improve on their 1938 record of just one Conference er y ! The trip to New York to battle Fordham will be all right with the players and pep them up in the competition for first string berths. . . .

Ft. Wayne Archers and Hammond Begin Season
By United Press Two of the best teams in Indiana prep basketball last season shatter the nets in their openers tonight. The South Side Archers of Ft. ‘Wayne, who last were seen cutting down the nets in Butler University’s huge fieldhouse after winning the state championship, face Kendallville, a Northeastern Conference opponent that has won four out of five
games. The other brilliant quintet that trudged out of the glare of Butler's big lamps, second best by only two ~ points—36 to 34—was Hammond. " The Wildcats of Hammond High hit - the trail against Horace Mann of } J
Gary. _ Both lost valuable men by graduation, but both have potential sharpshooters to fill their places. Bob Bolyard and Jim Glass, selected as all-Staters after their performance for the Archers last March, are expected to fill pivotal spots. Glass, who stretches 6 feet 8 inches, is a constant threat around the basket. : Hall Returns
Carl Hall, who led the South
Siders in scoring two seasons and then was forced out of school because of illness, will be back.

Indianapolis and Marion County high school basketball teams really get down to heavy business this week-end. The local district cagers are involved in 12 games. Five are booked tonight and of these the only game to be played at Indianapolis is to be
‘lbetween Washington and Rushville.
It will mark the formal dedication
and opening of the new gymnasium at Washington. The West Side school, a member of the South Cenfral Conference, defeated Broad Ripple last week 27 to 19. : The Rushville encounter, however, is the first of the Continentals’ games as a contender for the South Central championship. DeWitt S. Morgan, Indianapolis

three games going away this season and appears strong enough to take another in stride. Eleven of the Kats’ present ros-

Tech lost to Cathedral last week but probably will answer the whistle with the same starting lineup. This would include Campbell and Dun at forward, Gabriel at center, and Frazier and Hercules at guard. Manual plays the first game of its season at Ben Davis tonight. For six seasons, with Ben Davis as an opener, the Redskins have failed to make headway against the Giants. Barring last-minute changes, Manual Coach Oral Bridgford expects to start Dersh and Kniptash at forward, Snoddy at center, and Mueller and Viewegh at guard.
Rockets, Irish Away
Both Cathedral and Broad Ripple, victors in games last week, are to play away from home tonght. The Rockets meet Westfield there. Cathedral is to travel to Seymour, and is to encounter Brownsburg in another road game tomorrow night. Marion County champions of Decatur Central round out tonight's schedule with Plainfield \in the latter’'s gym. Decatur’s Hawks have already won over Ben Davis and Edinburg. > Shortridge is to draw local attention tomorrow night when the Noblesville basketball team invades the Blue Devils’ territory. It’s the second Shortridge game this season.
Blue Won Opener -
Coach. Kenneth Peterman’s charges won their season opener a week ago from Greenfield by a wide margin. Sacred Heart of Indianapolis is to meet Perry Central at Lebanon tomorrow night. Coached by John Sullivan, Sacred Heart emerged on the losing end of its opening game last week with Clayton. “Four county teams are to fill the remainder of the week-end program. Lawrence is to meet Warren Central at Central, Southport is to play at Clark of Hammond, and Decatur Central plays a home game with Monrovia.

as the result of a crash and pileup, while the German-American combination of Justav Kilian and Bobby Thomas and the Canadian brother team of Torchy and Doug Peden led the pack in Buffalo’s eighth international six-day bike race. The riders were. injured last night as the marathon event passed the halfway mark. Five riders piled np on Archie Bollaert of Detroit, who fell as he was pushing his partner on a pickup during a wild session of riding. Sprawled on the track for several minutes besides Bollaert were Jules Audy, Cocky O’Brien, Reggie Fielding, Jerry Rodman and Albin Jurca. All re-entered the race after receiving first aid treatment.

2 a ® Someone halted the pinochle game at the South Side Turners one evening about this time of the year 22 years ago and said that the organization ought to sponsor more athletics than the Indian clubswinging and the other conventional gymnasium antics.
The suggestion eventually brought about the appointment of a fiveman athletic committee and it immediately set about planning “ex-tra-curricula” activities. It took the five men about five years to get the thing clicking, but at any rate the amateur boxing tournament which starts at 8 o'clock tonight with the preliminaries will be the Turners’ 17th. Finals are next Friday. “Why, when we first started we couldn't find enough kids with gumption to stage a half dozen bouts,” said Frank Neu, chairman of this year’s supervising committee and member of the original group. Taylor Supplied 'Em in Old Days
“Now look how the thing has grown. We've got more than 60 boys to answer the bell for tonight's fights. And the kids range from flyweights to heavies.” During the early days of the tournament the Turners had to accept out-of-town participants and some of the best biffers came from the Terre Haute gym operated by Bud Taylor who youll remember punched hard and far enough to grab the bantam crown. The gamesters now are limited to those residing in Indianapolis or Marion County. ¢ When the Turners started to sponsor boxing, the “promoters” not only were handicapped by the lack of entrants, but some of the older members squawked loudly and had a continual frown on their faces over the idea. But the Turners’ tourney has weathered frowns and depression even when the latter sent profistiana here reeling to the ropes. Remember? When that depression started to swing, the customers who usually bought $2 seats to see the paid maulers moved back to the $1 benches and then to the gallery and eventually out of the hall and they've never come back.
Friends Turn Out To See Favorites
The pro game is in the doldrums because there's not a local favorite, but the amateurs go over because the fans come to see their neighborhood or club favorite throw leather. The Turners’ original committee included Mr. Neu, Art Paetz Oscar Buehler, Henry Goett and Ott Huffman. The first three have been on the job ever since. Working with them are Claude Miller, Paul Koebeler, William Goeckler, George Bates, Benny Benedict and Fred

Testing Ground For Eager Lads
The tournament theme is that of the Turners—“Strong Midd and Strong Body.” The primary idea is not to develop professionals. The club realizes that the realm is none too delicate and tournament officials want the boy who has the idea that he’s a champion to first test himself in this admirable amateur exereise before deciding he’s good enough to enter the ring for a divvy of the proceeds at the expense of battered beaks and ears.

Right now while the amateur season is in full swing and a lot of young biffers who think they're champions in the making might consider the advice of the late H. C.

He said in a prelude to his The Chickasha Bone Crusher: “To the young, clean, husky youth who js regarding a career in the prize ring with a contemplative eye, I would suggest a ringside seat, not at a championship battle, but at some of the bouts between second and third-raters, where he naturally would begin his apprenticeship. “Let him observe the contestants and their ‘handlers,’ listen to the super-vile admonitions of expletives hurled at a battered loser by the crowd, absorb. some of the general atmosphere—and then make his

DePauw Defeats Rose Poly; Central Normal Loses To Anderson.
By United Press Notre Dame used 24 players last night to crush a Kalamazoo quintet, 64 to 13, in its first basketball game of the season. : Ed Riska, Irish forward, scored 14 points to lead the victory drive. There was little opposition to the
Notre Dame offense and the "tilt consequently became ragged. Bob Warren led the Hornets with 9 points. In two Indiana college conference games, DePauw walloped Rose Poly, 55 to 25, and Anderson edged Central Normal 29 to 28 in the last few seconds of play. DePauw rang up 29 points in the first half while holding the Engineers to 4, then coasted in for an easy victory. Herbert Kixmiller, Tiger scoring leader last season, took scoring honors with five field goals and five free tosses. He played only half the game. Big Jack Van Dyke, state scoring champion last year, made 13 points to lead Anderson, but it was Morgan, center, who won the game with a sleeper shot just before “the final gun.
