SEVERAL A. A. TEAMS SELECT SITES FOR EARLY WORK—PLAYERS ARE INTERESTED.

Two bnay bodlea at Washington park today wsre President McGill and Manager Hendricks, of the Indians. They had a lot of correspondence from players from all sections, some of them wanting jobs, and others of the regular staff who want information about the spring training plans. McGill is still In the air regarding spring training plans. However, he wants to go somewhere in the south where he will get practice games for the team. He rnav decide to go to the west coast of Florida. A telegram today said Joe Cantlllon had definitely decided to take the Millers to Hickman, Ky., for spring training. Of course every one knew he would do this, as Cantlllon has a winter home at Hickman, and he spends about five months each year hunting and fishing at Keelsfoot lAke, near Hickman. Kentucky Is Popular. There is a report from the wire that the Milwaukee club will train at Paducah, Ky., and that the Saints will go to Fulton, Ky. If this arrangement is carried out the teams will be assured of many practice games with the Millers. Danny Shay, of the Blues, is in the south looking for a place to light. The Colonels, who trained at St. Petersburg last year, ■ re looking for a site In the vicinity of Kashvltle. The Spiders trained In Georgia faat year and no definite arrangements will be made for this season until It is ascertained if the team will he switched to Toledo, a move that will likely be made before the 1st of next month. The Senators may return to Kentucky, where they trained last season. If McGill is unable to find a desirable place In the south he may turn to West Baden, where the Indians trained three years ago. when under the management of Mike Kelley, now of the Saints. Kelley thought well of the Indiana resort because of its good training quarters and splendid hotel accommodations. ' -

At the finish Griff had earned five rounds, Welsh two, and the others wore about even. Grifllthe assumed ths aggressive in most of the rounds, while Freddie, excepting In three of the rounds, played mostly a defensive game. The first half of the~battie was mostly boxing exhibition, but the later rounds produced considerable slam bang stuff. In the sixth and the tenth Welsh forced Griffiths to the ropes after him with his wicked left, but Grifllthe 41 covered and the champion was untllow up his advantage. The shade in i favor was due more to hi a aggresth» «hs*Jpto|U U,a to any damage he did to

plate and far away from it. They have stood In the front of the box and away back In It. They have turned right around and faced the pitcher and looked awkward, as Heinle Groh does, and yet they have pickled the pill. They have done everything except stand with their

backs to the pitcher.

Billy Hamilton, of the old Boston champions, stood so far from the plate that you would swear he could never reach a ball on the outside. He was a lefthanded hitter, and he used a long bat. As the ball was pitched he would take a step toward third and generally bust It. I know, for I pitched against him when I first arrived In the big leagues. That was just before he departed. On the other hand, batters like Willie Keeler, John McGraw, Max Carey, of the Pittsburg Pirates, and others have crowded up on the plate so close that their elbows have been right over It. It is impossible to pitch to battera who hit this way a ball on the outside. You can't pitch outaide to them, and if you pitch inside and the ball Is a little too far Inside. just off the plate, the -chances are vou have stung them in the elbow or

KAUFF IS NO LONGER BELLIGERANT—YANKS TURN DEAF EAR TO REBEL OAKES.

NEW YORK, January 26.—Somebody hummed the “Wanderer's Return” at Harry Sinclair's office today, while Federal club managers, presidents and players did the prodigal son act, with organized baseball in the role of father; sans, however, forgiveness and sans fatted calf. Most of the Fed prodigals, as a matter of fact, came home to a mighty slim meal. First off, Benny Kauff, who no longer ago than Saturday was ultra-belligerent about being sold to the Giants without being consulted, was reported In a very conciliatory mood, not emphasizing at all hl» all-around star work with the Feds last season and being ready to talk nice to the Giants. Manager George Stovall, of the Kansas CRY c *db; Larry Schlafiy, once manager of the Buffalo Feds; John Ganzel, formerly manager of the Brooklyn Feds, all were buzzing Sinclair and O. B. representatives about where they wull get off. Sinclair Has Pick. President William E. Robertson, of the Buffalo club, conferred long and earnestly with James A. Gilmore over the disposal of his players. Sinclair is said to have his pick of these, and the choice is to be Heinie Schultz. Hal Chase, catcher Anderson and Frank Allen. President Ed Gwinner, of the Pittsburg club, also saw- Gilmore about his players, of whom first baseman Ed Konetchy is still on the market. Barney Dreyfuss, of the Pirates, doesn’t want him back, he says. Manager Rebel Oakes, of the Smoky City Feds, asked for a job with the Yanks, but was turned down. Pitcher Aitchlson, of the Brookfeds, has been rele; sed to the Milwaukee club, of the American Association.

CHICAGO, January 26.—Hal Chase, eccentric and star first baseman, who jumped Charlie Comiskey’s White Sox to land a lucrative job wuth the Buffalo Federate, is taboo In American League circles, It was learned here today. The former stabber of wild throw's, it was said, will find no opposition on the part of A. L, moguls if he lands with the Nationals. A report that Chase would iand with Fielder Jones' St. Louis Browms was scoffed at today by Ban Johnson, who said: “It would not be advisable to attempt to play Chase at Comlskey’s park next season.” The same applies in the case of pitcher Schulz, formerly of the Yankees, who Joined the outlaws, it is said. Tommy Seaton, the Brooklyn Federal hurler, will be on the Cub staff next season. Manager Tinker bought the Portland (Ore.) product for J7.500. Seaton’s salary of 17,500 which was to have run a year more with the Brooklyn club, will be assumed by the Cubs.

Considered One of State's Best Basketball Centers

LINN SMITH. Linn Smith, center for the Em-Roes, is pronounced by critics to be one of the best centers In the state. Smith is tall and heavy and Is a bear In the jump, which is a big factor In the game. Smith weighs about 175. He never loses his head In a game and Is an excellent basket shot, particularly on short distances from difficult angles. . Smith will oppose Arnold, a former Peru high school star, In the game with the Peru quintet at the local Y. M. C. A. Saturday night. A curtain-raiser w r iil be played between two frat teams.

“I’LL TELL YOU JUST HOW WE’LL COP THAT RECORD NEXT WEEK’

some other point where It did not hurt much. That Is their dish. Thev are up there to get to first base, and being hit by a pitched ball Is one way to make it Also they could worry a wild pitcher hr th&h way. . ' ri "HoW cgm yob pitch lo a guy" whined a youngster with the Giants who was getting a tryofit- one day, after he had hit Carey with *' pitched bail, "if he •won't let you see the plate?" It Is a wise man who kqows how to coach. Max Carey, of the Pirates, is a greatly Improved batter and I believe Mike Donlln should receive much of the credit for It When Mike was with Pittsburg he took hold of Carey and did not endeavor to get him to change the way he stood or the way he held the bat, but drilled certain theories Into him. Mike handled Carey well. Some batters hold their hands together and others spread their bands out on the stick. Some grab the club at the end and others choke it short.' There ain’t no style. If a man takes hold of his stick away down at the end he is probably strong in the arms, as Wagner Is. A bat in his hands must feel as light as a toothpick. It is like the old

song.

They say eW Hans Wkgner he a!s*t get no

style.

He ain't get ne style, he ain't got no style; But he hits all the while, hits all the while, all the while.

__ I J ■The whole secret of batting. or golfing or playing tennis, too, I guess, is the timing of the ball. In batting, if a man can hit the oall out in front of him he has a chance to smear the pill In the center with the middle of the bat. He then has the whole balance, and It sings. If he hits late he pope up. That is why a- change of pace is vahiabfe In pitching. It upsets the timing of batters. and we old fellows have to figure out all these things If we are to hold our Jobs as twirlers as our ‘'stuff' goes.

IN FAR-AWAY AUSTRALIA. Left to Right—F. G. Paape and G. Milledge, of Milledg* Bros., Ltd,, Indian motorcycle agents, Sydney; Spenser Smith, representative of United States tires, Sydney. The big boy at the right Is a well-known citizen of this city, E. G. Baker, who is sojourning ki Australia.

Baker has sueceded In breaking several of the Australian records since arriving there December 6. These records were not made in open competition, since there have been no road races of any importance since Baker landed. But the motorevcle riders in Australia are excellent riders and they have some exceedingly fast machines on which to contest. Baker is devoting Ids time entirely to road racing and individual trials at records. He writes that track racing Is a thing for some of the other boys that were in knee- pants when he was riding the ovals. Some of the records Baker has sueceded in establishing in Australia, according to Information cabled to C. S. Stoutenberg. of the G. & J. tire factory

here are:

Hobart to Launceston, Tasmania. 131 miles, 2 hours 37 minutes, previous motorcycle record, 2 hours 67 minutes. Previous auto record. 3 hours 30 minutes. At Mortlake, Victoria, Baker made the

following records, under the auspices of the motorcycle club of that place: Three hours. 116 miles; six hours, 316 miles; 200 miles in 3 hours 42 minutes; 300 miles in 3 hours 58 minutes. At Melbourne Baker rode a30 miles in 24 hours. This latter isa world’s recordBaker, in a letter to The News, speaks highly of the excellent reception he has always received from men in the trade and riders. “The Australians are true sportsmen, and this is a great country,” Is the way he puts It. Baker is using an Indian, equipped with United States tires, made at the G. & J. factory here. There are twenty-three makes of machines sold in Australia, according to Baker. These are made mostly In England, with four of United States manufacture. The machines are: Indian. Excelsior, Harley-Davidson, Pope. Triumph Rudge. B. S- A.. Douglas, Mona. Motoreve, Rover, Precision, Humber, Bradbury, James. Enfield, Premier, Peerless, J. A. P., Matchless, Scott. Xenlth. F. N.

IS REVIVED AT MEETING

8IG TRACKS MAY BE REPRESENTED IN VARIOUS RACES BY OWN TEAMS.

NEW YORK, January 26.-E. R. Schultz introduced a plan at a meeting in New York of the newly organized Automobile Speedway Association of America, whereby a circuit would be formed, consisting of several of the larger speedways, each speedway to be represented in the various races by Its own team of two or three cars. It was pointed out that a plan of that kind would increase the home interest in the races, and would provide more cars, thereby protecting the interests of the speedway owners. From the manner in which the cities invited have signified their willingness to come into the fold, the success of the organization seems assured. Sioux City has been requested to enter a representative team and there is, at this time, every indication that the request will be complied with. New York may have a team as well as Chicago, Indianapolis and several other cities. Efforts are being made to get Minneapolis, Omaha and a few other cities to join In so that the race meets will be amply supplied with entries. The teams will be handled by a manager from each city' and everything will be done to insure the success of the individual teams as well as of the association.

[Special to The Indianapolis News] BLOOMINGTON, Ind., January 26.-In-diana easily defeated DePauw here last night, 37 to 6. At no time during the evening was the crimson squad pushed and throughout the game led the Methodists by a comfortable margin. However, in spite of the fact that Indiana’s score was many times larger than DePauw’s, coach Williford’s men did not show their usual class of basketball. There was very little difficulty in getting shots, but the Indiana warriors missed goal after goal, and at the end of the first half the score stood 18 to 3. The Crimson men did a much better job of guarding than the visitors and Mullett deserves special mention in this regard. Buschmann, Indiana floor guard, was high man of the evening with thirteen markers. Out of this number eight points were made by field goals and five from free puts. Buschmann seemed to have a better eye on the basket than any of his teammates and all of his field goals were made from near the center of the floor. Captain Maxwell caged five field goals and displayed his old-time speed and quickness. ON NATIONAL COMMISSION. CHICAGO, January 26 -President Johnson, of the American League, was quoted yesterday as saying he would suggest that ball players be given representation on a new body which he hopes will replace the national commission. "The question of player representation Is more than a possibility," he said. "If they are given a representative, he should be a man from their ranks who will look after the rights of the players and also those of the magnates, such a man, for Instance, as Sam Crawford, of Detroit."

The Butler basketball team left for Franklin this afternoon for Its game with the Baptists, tonight. The blue and white squad tha gone through a series of hard practices in preparation for the contest and coach Thomas feels that his quintet is in the best of condition and should make things interesting for the Franklin five. Cully will probably use the same lineup that won from State Normal, with the probable exception of Cornelius replacing Mullane at guard. The eligibility of Cornelius depended upon whether he passed an examination. The men who will probably start the game will be Moore and Sussman, forwards; Good, center; Frankfort and Cornelius, guards. HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MEN GET PRACTICE PERMITS The following bulletin was Issued by Milo H. Stuart, principal of Manual Training high school, regarding the permission of high schools to engage In track practices preliminary to the state meet: “On recommendation of high school principals, approved by the superintendent of schools, permission was granted by the board of school commissioners for track boys to engage in practice meets preliminary to the state track meet when the permission of the principal and school superintendent is secured In advance."

{Special to The Indiana poll* New*] LAFAYETTE, Ind., January 26.—Indoor practice for the Purdue baseball squad Is already under way and within a short time a formal call for candidates will be issued. Purdue’s prospects are the brightest In years, especially in the pitching department. Coach Pattlson expects to have a great array of brilliant slab artists. Loy, of last year’s staff seems destined to be the sensation of the Big Nine this year. He Is In better form than ever and has everything from worlds of speed to an astonishing assortment of curves and excellent control. Planque the marvel of last season’s freshman nine, is another who looks like a phenumenon. Then there are Kaufman and Shrode, consistent performers on test year’s varsity staff to rely on. Walters and Perkin are among the leading candidates for C Theentire Infield of last year’s team will be intact with the exception of first bast, Bruckman having completed hte career Finn and Weber will be out for second base ogalm- Ebert probably wUl hold down third again, although there will be competition for this place as for shortstop McIntosh looks good for first base In the outfield there will be some vacancies to fill Klstler being the only regular outfielder of last years nine who remains. But there will be a wealth of material from which to select new outfielders. The Boiler Makers expect to have a better hitting team than last sea son. This year’s schedule Includes twelve conference games and five preliminary contests.
