FIELD MALS Ey MARK M. UPP Latest word from Bellevue, Ohio, t a telegram received hist night states that the Catholic high s< ho 1 eagers of that city will he hero to fill their engagmont with the Commodores Friday night, as per schednl. The trainer of the Buckeye squad must know his gooseberies, if he was able to get eight sick and injured men back into condition within less than 24 hours. Hill and Bell, forwards ctj the Yellow Jacket quintet, have not had a basketball suit on this week. Gerber, center, was out last night for the first time and went through a little signal practice and goal shooting. Krick, Anadell, Reynolds, Stoneburner, Cole. John Engle and Dick Engle the other members of the varsity squad, scrimmaged for several minutes yeslefflay evening. The rest appears to be helping the boys and may put them in condition for a big comeback this week-end. The Yellow Jacket management has lieen unable, so far, to schedule a game for the date left open by the cancellation of the game there Friday night. Decatur has two games this week-end and none next week. This Hartford-Kirkland ' battle at Kirkland Saturday night promises to be a thriller, to say nothing of the Kii kland-Monroeville game in the same gym on Friday night. The Columbia City and Portland papers have had nothing to say about :he games between the high school teams of those cities and the Yellow Jackets at Columbia City and here this monotonous silence may mean one as several things.

We’re Sorry, Too ('each Curtis of Decatur is allowing his player to enjoy “vacatior” week, following losses to Elwood and Crawfordsville, in preparation for :he Columbia City and Portland contests. Curtis is said to have been locking lot wind to a decisive victory ove: Hun* tington as a grolrioi.s ending of the season. Sorry. Mr. Curtis, but Mr Ihsaa has pi evented us from full'.Hing this social engagement. —Cash Keller. Huntington He'Ald Our Own Joe The Indianapolis Star, in a story concerning freshman basketball at Butler college says: "Among tjie Blue rhinies who have been performing to Nipper’s satisfaction are Hinchman, of Greenfield; Bebout, of Decatur: Newkirk, of Tipton; Puett, of Logansport; and Wolfe, of Terre Haute. The team has been narrowed down from twenty-five men to thirteen and from this gloup, Nipper wil Iselect the team which will start against the Baptist rhinies." When the freshman team from Indiana State Normal, of Terre Haute, took the floor against the Wabash College freshmen, at Wabash, last week, there were four former pupils cf Coach Herb Curtis, of Decatur, in tjie Normal lineup. The were Curtis’ brother, Hugh. Horton, McCloud and Hazlett, all members of the Monrovia high school team when Coach Curtis directed the destinies of that quintet two years ago. McCracken, star center at Indiana, was their teammate two years ago. The Wabash rhinies won by a narrow margin, but it was a good ball game. Young Curtis, by the way, sank seven field goals and two free throws. Pickin' On Buckeyes Agains "Coach Means announced this morning that Waite High, of Toledo, Ohio, and Defiance, Ohio, have been scheduled fcr the Tiger basketball team during the season of 1928-29. Both games will be playe din this city. Neither team has appeared on tl>Q local schedule before." —Out of Bounds Bluffton Banner.

Who taught the United States to play baseball?’ Thevenow and Scott and Aldridge, of Indiana. Who taught the United States to play footliall? Rockne, of Indiana (I guess that's where N.

Why in the world! doesn't Mr. Jhsaa go to Chicago this spring and teach the United States how to play basketball. Now I ask you. SMITTY, Indianapolis. Ind. George Wemhoff received the following telegram, this morning from his son, Arthur, who is attending high school nt Northfield, Vermont: “Northfield 28: Spaulding. 26. How sweet is revenge." Spaulding high school, Barre, Vermont, is the only team that has defeated Northfiel dthis season, and last night's victory for Northfield evens that score. Art, as you know, is tlie center on the Northfield team. o Two College Baseball Teams Try Out Proposed Revolutionary Rules Berkeley, Calif., Feb. 16. — (UP)— The University of California baseball team and the Ambrose Taylor team played a game Wednesday under Karl Zamloch’s proposed revolutionary rules which allowed tbe batter to choose whether he shall run to first or third, with amazing and very confusing results. California won II to 10. About half tbe batters ran to first and the other half to third. The southpaw hitters, as a rule, ran to first and the right handed batters to third. Jack Ntnechekk, varsity pitcher, knocked a home run over the fence -rhut was called out. Under the Zamloch rules when a runner is on base subsequent runners must follow the route, he took. Nenechekk forgot another player was on base and took an opposite course in running.

.Our old friend, Joe Campa, is back again today with a striking suggestion as to the location of the IH2B Davis Cup games, which speaks for itseli, as the communications of the gentleman front Harrisburg invariably do. Mr. Ciirupii. while apparently under a slight misapprehension, writes as follows: » Harrisburg, I’n. Sir: "I see hy the radio that the Davis Cup tennis bouts may be held In Paris this year. What’s the big idea? “Why should we have to go to France to knock off these French guvs that we can beat with their own icferee? I can't say it hurts me any, as I would trade my season pass to the big league tennis for an intermissicn check to a wrestling match. Hut it's the principle of the thing. "If people want to build up sport so that the spoilsmen will make a lot of money and the amateurs will get their expense accounts and the mugs will take a trimming without even squawking like they do now. why don't they hold the Davis Cup matc hers over here where the big money is? "I can’t see anything to tgnnis myself but patting a little soft ball over a net that a flea could kick it over with a bat so big you couldn't miss it, and the pictures of the guys that play it don't look like there was much hot stuff in it. But it seems by the papers to be a Jntshover for crowds, and where the crowds are is over here. “I have a solution that will make tennis a regular game and would make the sort of people go to it who pay $57.56 a crack at prize fights, which is the sort of people that make American sport what it is today. "We want to stage the bouts in some place like the Yankee Stadium at night so a big crowd would turn out and you guys would have to ballyhoo it lip. Then so nobody would get murdered when the crowd saw what it was getting you would have to change the rules a little so as to make it more interesting. "My idea is to make the ball harder, more like a baseball, make the hat harder, and let five or six guys play on a side so that you would get a little action and maybe somebody would get batted over the dome by accident. That is my idea of a regular game and this would be a sort of cross between base ball and hockey without a dull moment. “Os course, if we did all this you would have to get some new tennis players for from what I see the guys that Play it now would wear out pretty soon. But 1 don't think that would make anybody mad. "Also I see that the Olympic tourna-

Also a friend of mine named Gus, who used to live there tells me it Is n tough town tor amateurs and that somebody Is likely to put alcohol in their liquor and Gus ought to know for he was In the business over there too. “Hoping you will print this so it will do some good and wise up someone bo sides yourself. "Yours respectfully.

"They suspended him did they?" Kearns asked, when informed of the a tion. “Well, they can't do that. I'll get an injunction against them." Kearns wasn’t sure what form the injunction would take.
