Manager Gilbert, Assisted By Chamber of Commerce, Disposes of 51 Season Books.

HUNDREDS YET TO BE SOLD

Master of Pack Departs for Newark, O., Where He Will Talk Contract to Well Known

Star.

By Ralph H. White.

When "Lefty" Colbert, Terre-ir manager, hit the trail for his home town. Newark, O., last night, he had disposed of 51 season baseball books, one-tenth •of the number desired. Gilbert, working' hand in hand with the Chamber of Commerce, has been hard at it for the past two days with the result that tho half century mark has been passed.

A list of those who have purchased season books follows: D. RUBS Wood, 2.

Root Dry Goods Co., 1. A. Herz, 1. H. A. Condit, 1. Home Packing Co., 1. Ctirl K. Batiermeiarter, 1. Max Frank, 2. Smith & Ban tin, 1. Thorniau and Scblou, 1. Kilheck hotel, 1. Ed F. Leever, 1.

Edward C. Baker, 1 Wm. Eppert, 1. Both the Terre-ir manager and the C. of C. have prospective purchasers galore and the men behind the move to dispose of 500 season baseball books begin to see light. It is believed that the fans, understanding the situation as they do, will rally to the cause and make possible a first class ball club, which, by the by, is the best possible advertisement for our fair city. The city will be canvassed thoroughly ill an endeavor to interest as many fans as possible, as it is the intention of tiie club officials to sell 500 season booko, if such can be accomplished.

Gilbert is Confident.

Boss Gillie, before departing for his home city last night, said he was confident the season book move would bo successful, and that he expected to dispose of the entire 500 booke with the assistance of the Chamber of Commerce. The Terre-ir skipper will talk contract to a certain ball player while in Newark, and should he be successful in Sfisning the player in question the pacic will have under contract a star who should be one of t"he bright lights or the Central next season.

One of the outfield tryouts this spring will be a youngster, Kelly by name, who last season was a bear in the Atlantic Coast league. Kelly was ,the second best batsman in the circuit last season, finishing the chase with an average of .431. At bat 216 times, Kelly tore off 93 hits, 20 of whicli were of the extra base variety. He scored 61 runs in 5S games, showing himself Lo be a rare run getter. In addition, the new Terre-ir pilfered 36 bases. In the outfield Kelly handled 213 chances with but two errors, an average of .991.

Gilbert will not hesitate long in Newark, but will return in a day or so to prepare for the battery men who are due to report in less than two weeks. There are several deals pending which, if consummated, will give to the club some splendid material-

Fear is Upon Jack Johnson

HAVANA. Cuba, March 20.—The fear Is uoon Jack Johnson. The big negro, who, for years, has lived the life of an idler and spender, for the first time has a "hunch" that he may lose his title of heavyweight champion. "With the loss of that honor Johnson knows that his easy life would disappear.

In public Johnson loudly ridicules any idea that he is in danger of being beaten by Jess Willard, when they meet hero tv/o weeks from tomorrow in a forty-five round battle. "I'm tho best man in the world." he is wont to say. "No one stands a charce with me, and Willard will go just like the rest."

Hut in his training quarters, away from tlie public gaze, the big black acts differently. He is traininsc—actually working hard—with a grim determination. Men close to him 11 his camo say that Johnson is stirred as he has nevpr been before, and that he Is resolved to be in perfect shape when he meets Willard.

Johnson shows fair shave noyv, is heavy, and the excess weight is fat, r.ot muscle.

Willard :s taking things rather easllv. He said today that next week he would lengthen his training work and would put in his hardest licks then. Willed was practically in condition for the fight when he quit training in El Paso a ccuplc of weeks ago. Since Hhen be has loafed most of the time,

Irut has not taken on much weight. He -cxpcct3 to weigh about 245 when he enters the ring to battle Johnson. The latter likely will weigh around 239.

,WALK-OVERS TO PRACTICE.

The Walk-Overs will practice this Afternoon at the diamond near Twelve points. All players aic requested to bo on hand at 2 o'clock.

By Henry J. West.

Seven victories and six defeats, with a total of 361 points to their opponents' 327, Is the record of the Garfield high basketball team for the season just ended. Five of the reverses suffered by the northenders were sustained on foreign floors, the games going to Normal, Vincennes, Paris, Brazil and Clinton, the latter not being on the regular schedule, but was played as one of the tournament games at Brazil. Only one game, the first in two years, was lost on the home floor, that going to the fast "Vincennes five. The re?t of the games were won on the local floor with the exception of the Rockville and Sullivan return games, which the purple and white bagged with ease.

At the first of the season the Garfield lads got away to a bad start. The first two games on the schedule were played in foreign territory and consequently were registered on the wrong side of the ledger.

The most noted victories of the locals were those of the Brazil, Normal and Paris games. Kach of these schools were represented by strong teams.

In both of the Sullivan and Rockville games, the northsiders had an easy time carrying off the long end ot the count. The first game with tne Parke county lads brought the Garfield athletics out of their slump as they won by an overwhelming score.

Couldn't Hit Goal.

Although hindered considerably Dy changes in the lineup, the main trouble with the Garfield thin-clads was goal shooting. Both home and abroad they had as many, if not more, shots than did their opponents, but owing to the poor shooting were in several instances forced down in defeat. This showed especially in the return Vincennes and the Clinton game. In botn of these contents the purple and white players held the upper hand in the team work, but lost out only because of inaccuracy in hitting

the netting.

From the looks of things, the north side institution should be represented by a strong team next year. Of the five regulars who finished the season only two will be lost, leaving three regt and a number of good second string men. The two men who will be lost by graduation this year are Captain Floyd and "Betsy" Rhoads. The former, at forward, is probably the best basketball artist ever turned cut at Garfield. "Slivers" has played three years on the Garfield quintet, being named leader in his last year. Rhoads has always been a big factor in holding the score of the opponents down during the past two years that he has been on the team. Another man who will be lost by graduation is Davis, who played guard until just a few weeks ago, when he was declared ineligible.

CLASS CAPTAINS NAMED.

Oxford, Hicklin, Welsh and Nash Elected Baseball Leaders. The four classes of Garfield High met and elected captains to represent them in the inter-class baseball games that will start this week. The Seniors chose "Pearly"' Oxford as their leader, he being an excellent backstop man and fairly handy with the willow. "Yabe" Hicklin, last year's football leader, was selected by the Juniors, "Jack Welch was picked to lead the Sophs and "Red" Nash will manage the Freshies.

The captains will meet with Prof. Hylton Monday evening and arrange a schedule. It is thought that the chart will be fixed so that each team wili play every other team once, thus making three games for each team. As it looks now the Juniors should cop the school championship, with the Seniors a close second. Each team will he hindered considerably by not getting the services of the men in their classes who are planning on going out for track work instead of baseball.

STATE NORMAL FACES CLASSY BAU CHART

Teachers Will Play Leading1 State Teams on Diamond This Season —Prospects Bright.

Manager Bob Hoffman of the State Normal baseball team last night gave out his schedule for the coming season, which will be inaugurated Aprin 14 with a game with the Terre Haute Central league club. In all 15 games have been booked, with the third game with Rose Poly a possibility and a tour or Kentucky almost a certainty. All ot the leading schools of the state are included In the playing chart and the Teachers face one of the best schedules ever arranged in the history of the school. The schedule is as follows:

April 14-15—Terre-irs at Leagua park. April 17—Butler at Irvington.

April 27—Rose at Parsons field. May 1—De Pauw university at Parsons field.

May 5—De Pauw at Greencastle. May 8—Butler college at Parsons field.

May 11—Wabash college at Crawfordsvllle. May 14—Franklin college at Parsons field.

May 18—Rose at Rose field. May'22—Wabash college at ParsonS field.

May 23—Franklin college at Franklin. May 28—Central Normal college at Parsons field.

June 5—Earlham college at Parsons field. June 9—Central Normal college at Parsons field.

At least two games will be played oil the Kentucky trip. Manager Hoffman Is in touch with Georgetown U., as well as the U. of Kentucky, and chances are favorable that dates with both institutions will be carded. The DePauw date at Greencastle. May 5, may be changed, as the Methodists are not anxions to tackle the Teachers so early in the chase. A third game with Poly wyi likely be agreed on, especially should the teams each win a scheduled game.

There is an abundance of good material in the school and a winning combination is expected. Old heads are numerous and the newcomers have little chance to oust the vets unless they display marked ability. Pitcher Crim, one of last season's stars, is rapidly recovering from a serious illness, and promises to be fit when the first bell sounds. Another good bet is Lostett'er, outfielder and heavy hitter, who is expected to be among the first to turn out for practice.

A three-cornered meet between Wiley, Garfield and Normal Is being planned by Manager Webster, of Wiley, and the athletic directors of the other two schools, to be held in a few •weeks. A tennis tournament will also be held along with the track meet. The date has not yet been set for the alTalr, but the managers will probably have everything arranged by the end of next week.

A call for Wiley trusk candidates has been issued for Tuesday afternoon at a meeting in the school. Wiley has an abundance of good material on hand and should make the other two schools hustle to win the coming meet.

Hoff, Johnson, Anderson and Manhart should hold up their end of the work onithe track. Hoff and Anderson are also'good men at the field sports. The former grabbed off first place in the broad jump last year. He also placed in the discus throw. Anderson should prove handy with the shot, as he has the weight necessany to heave the lead pellet. Foulkes and Nattkemper are still in school and have signified tbeir Intentions of coming out for the team. These two men took first and second in the pole vault at Garfield last season.

There are also a great many new men who can be counted on to balance the team.

Poly Takes to Field Monday

By Chas. Ji. Stevens.

Althongh Rose Poly's baseball pros-pects-are a matter of doubt, active work has begun and a team jvlll soon be selected to defend the Engineers' title for this season. The pitchers and catchers were given a good workout one day last week in the gyin under the direction of Art Neh?. Terre-ir hurler, but not all those Intending to try out for the battery positions were on deck. Among the freshman aspirants Bake, a catcher, seems to have a good claim for recognition, although Coates, "Pop" Stoms' understudy of last year, looks good for the position on the varsity squad! At present he Is hav-. ing some trouble over the new eligibility rules laid down by the faculty, but if allowed to take a few exams he will likely be seen back of the bat for the Engineers.

Monday the first official practice will be held. Only one bad feature comes up and that is the shadow of the approaching mid-term exams. They are scheduled for the last week In March and no doubt Will do much to cut down the list of candidates.

So far the men who have announced the'r intention of trying for pitchers' position are Capt. Larr, Joe Carter and, of course, "Pud" Brown, last years standby.
