LEAGLE LEADERS EAST NIGHT. Capitol No. 1 league—McCullough (Grabers), 242. Beam's No. 2 league—jVhetstine (South Sides), 225. Printing Crafts league—Sahm (Printing Arts), 224. Brookside league—Spurgeon (Coyners), 105. k Central Ladies’ league—Sheridan KXoises), 21S. By CHARLES LOGAN. that you don’t see every in the year was pulled in the Printing Crafts loop at the Central alleys. The Indianapolis Engravers, shooting three “blind men," took the odd game from the News Press Room. The Mutuals put oyer thr league’s clean sweep when they ran away from the News Composing Room. Te battle of battles was put on between the Hollenbeck Press and the Stafford No. 2 squads. The Hollenbecks took the game that told, by one pin. Saladin and Heuslin hit them hard for the Staffords in the rubber game, but two men seldom beat five, excepting, of course, the Indianapolis Engravers. “Dutch” Eggert stacked up 200 for the Indianapolis Typesetting crew in the final frame and they slipped one over oh the Cornelius Printers. The Stafford No. 1 troop was just about ready to take the count when Childers slipped up with the double century that gave them two wins in their match with the Indianapolis Printing quintet i The Daily Timet knights took on a little pep and scored a pair of wins over the Printing Arts five. The Times outfit was in line for the third victory, but Sahm side tracked them with a 224. He also took one game honors with the same count. Fred McCullough may have his off nights, like all good bowlers do, buA he also has a few “on” evenings each year and last night happened to be one of them. Fred went forth with Graber's Five in the Capitol No. 1 circuit and took everything. His 242 was high for one game, and he followed it with 235 and 198 for the big total laurels! You sure would have heard some squawking if Charlie Cray had not produced his double century in the second round. That’s all that saved the Grabers from dropping two to the Claman Bros. .Steffen and Hackard got their usual supply of two hundred counts for the Clamans. These Taggart Bakers are some tough gnys. Ferner’s Tigers attacked ’em last night and got knocked off three times. Farmer led the Bakers with a 223. The best match of the evening was staged by the Strauss Says and Federal Patterns. The Patterns took the odd game, but had to roll up in the 1,000 neighborhood to do it. Hamilton and Myers each got a pair of double centuries for the losers. Osthiemer was the top man of the Strauss team. The Block Opticians turned the EmRoes a couple of flips. A small amount of luck would have given Cheney a 200 average for the night. Westover looked bad at the start but he wound up with a 214. Mrs. Sheridan turned in a regular mansized score in the Central Ladies circuit. She took the single effort glory with 213 and\ had a 174 and 154 with it. This boost gave the Noisies three wins over the Cuckoos. Mrs. Long got a double century and two fair counts for the Blues and they won the odd game from the Brownies.

The more you know about clothing, tailoring and woolens the more easily I can convince you that it IS possible to make and sell an all-wool suit at $35.00. Again I announce my ability to make Made-to-Measure SUIT‘3S All-Wool Material Fit and Satisfaction Guaranteed Every man, with but a single exception, who responded to my announcement of last week, left order for a suit of clothes. The exceptional man wanted sixty days’ time in whicn to pay. I was forced to refuse his order because, at the price I am charging I can not extend credit to any one, no matter how honest he may be. From strangers I expect a reasonable deposit—the balance to be paid when the suit is finished and is entirely satisfactory to the purchaser. If, for any reason, the suit is NOT satisfactory the clothes are mine and thp amount deposited's returned without question, quibble or argument. My present capacity is fifty suits a week, and, at the rate I am going, the limit will be reached within three weeks.

As before stated. I have been a ‘tailor-for-the-trade'" for six years. I have been doing all the work and the other fellow has been getting all the glory and the bulk of the profit. I have started to build a trade of my own. 1 have the third largest shop in the city. In busy seasons I have forty people on my pay roll. My rent is very low—s3oo a month for the entire second floor of the point at New York St. and Massachusetts avenue. I have no fancy fixtures, no credit department, nor a bunch of stockholders or partners crying for dividends. But I have a very efficient force of designers, cuttfrs, tailors and helpers who are all workers. There is not a drone in my hive. At $35 I will allow you to make selection from at least twenty desirable patterns of high-grade, allwool cloth in spring or summer weights. Men who called last week said that it would cost them SSO to duplicate my made-to-measure $35 suit in a ready-made. I don’t doubt it

Among the men who ordered suite last week were two personal friends, both of whom know clothes from pants-cuff to coat collar. Both are now “word-of-mouth advertisers” for my client. FRANK S.

The Midgets got peeved when the Jolly Rollers robbed them out of a first-game victory by one pin and they worked hard to take the next two. Their efforts were not in vain. They didn’t do a whole heap of heavy slugging in the Brookside league. Spurgeon went big with a 195. The Coyners were pie for the Hacker Bros, in the first game, but the tables spun around a bit in the next two. The Brookside No. 1 team took the odd game from the Fra-Rose Cleaners and the Puritana Foods played the same trick on the East Tenth M. E. representatives. Here’s one for the look. The Triangles and Y. M. S. quintet shot against each and one another in Beam's No. 2 league and after all was said and done they found that they had tied in the first round with 874 each, the Triangles won the second, 810 to 804, and 'they tied again in the third with 814 each. Woodard dragged along with the Y. M. S. for two games without doing a thing, but when they needed everything they could get in the third round he gave them 198. The Brunswick Tires finished the St. Clair Placers up nice and quick. Every round was a victorious one for the Tigers. The scorekeeper in the South SidePleasant Drive scrap wrote like a hen scratches and our best guess as to the outcome is that the South Sides took two. Nord’s Tigers went off with two victories over the Prospect Gas men. Griffiths Says French Champ Will Not Last 6 Rounds With Dempsey By JOHNNY GRIFFITHS. -American Welterweight. LONDON, Jan. 9.—Georges Carpentier won’t last six rounds against Dempsey, in my opinion. The Frenchman is a good, snappy and showy boxer, but not the great fighter Dempsey is. At the boxing aay snow heffe I appeared on the same hill with Carpentier and studied him caretully through six exhibition rounds. He is fast. There is no doubt about that. But the average ring fan is likely to figure him faster than he really is because of the spectacular and showy way he exhibits his speed in dancing around the ring. Where speed counts I doubt if Carpentier is any faster than Dempsey. Dempsey's blows are struck just as swiftly. Then, too, Carpentier Is almost frail beside Dempsey. He hasn't an outside chance of standing up against Dempsey’s blows. Nor will he be able to dance out of the way of them. It Is foolish to think Carpentier will give Dempsey a hard fight because he whipped Beckett so easily. Beckett was far from a topnotcher, defensively. He tried to guard himself, but in a slow way, from an opponent who was fast and had everything that he himself did not possess. Dempsey will go after Carpentier from the gong and he simply outclasses Georges both In physical strength and fighting ability. Carpentier never fougbt a man approaching the class of Dempsey. He has been defeated more than once by Americans who couldn’t have lasted a round against Dempsey when they were in their prime. It will be a case of a great fighter—ten times stronger and able to hit ten times harder—outclassing a clever, fast, showy boxer. To be perfectly safe, I say the fight won’t go six rounds, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Dempsey knocks Carpentier out in two rounds. Fact is, I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t end that way.

I also have a line of woolens and overcoatings that I sell at $42.30 and S3O. I invite you to bring a swatch of your tailor's $75 goods and compare them with either of the above. If you arc willing to walk around the corner and up one flight of stairs I promise to give you more real value in a suit than you have had since 1914. r guarantee - this: The material will be all-wool, the making equal to that of any SSO suit you have had made In the past three years; the trimmings to be high-grade; the buttonholes (with exception of trousers) to be band-made with pure silk thread; the coat front to be built up with genuine Belgian linen. The entire suit—material, workmanship and fit, must be to your satisfaction or you need not take the suit. I won’t let you Pike it. I would be a fool to give the newspapers a hundred dollars a week for the privilege of telling fairy stories —and I’m no fool, even If I do sell ctothes at a net profit of less than SI.OO on a suit. GEORGE ETTINGER, Proprietor.

Paris Again Denies Acceptance of Yank Offer for Title Go Carpentier’s Manager Says Coffroth Reports Premature —Cochran Holds Option. FRANCE IS ELIMINATED PARIS, Jan. 9. —No offers for the Dempsey-Carpentler fight can be considered until February, when the option which Charles B. Cochran has on the Frenchman’s services expires. This was a part of the denial offered today by Manager Des Champs that he had accepted the terms of James W. Coffroth, American promoter, to put the European champion in the ring with Jack Dempsey at Tiajuana for forty-five rounds. “I wish to lay stress on the statement that I have never discussed this alleged Coffroth offer, neither have I given any one cause to quote me' as favoring the supposed terms of that bid. The most Important reason is that I have not received directly or indirectly any offer from Coffroth. I have just sent cablegrams to three different persons and until tbey are answered there will be no final decision on the fight,” said DesChamps. “However, it is doubtful if the contest will be held in France.” Big Colored ‘Y 5 Gam^ The basketball team of the .colored branch “V” will have the honor of playing the first 'ntersectional contest of the season in the city Monday night, when it meets the Atlantic City Vandals, the champion colored five of the east. The New Jersey aggregation Is on a tour of the west, and as the local team last year won the midwest title, the clash here Monday night will deermine the rc-lativt? “classiness" of the two brands of the indoor sport among colored teams. All of the locals are In flue shape, following their win over the Wolverines, but Coach DeFrantz was not satisfied with the team play displayed and is drilling his proteges hard to overcome this defect. The visitors come with the reputation of having the smoothest passing five in the game and the five-man defense of the local lads will be put to a severe test to stop the invaders’ offensive.

A. court Friday and Saturday, Feb. 27 and 28.

Anderson on Top in Amateur Cue Tourney In one of the closest billiard games of the city amateur billiard tourney at the Board of Trade Anderson last night won the title by defeating Ferguson, 50 to 48, in 106 innings. The game marked the last of the tourney for the two men, who were tied before the contest. The loss I for Ferguson puts him in a tie for second and third place with Chief. The loser counted the highest run of the game last night when he chalked up a 5. Anderson's best mark was a 4. To win the contest Anderson ran six billiards in his last four innings, while Ferguson kept in the race with 4 counts in the last four sessions. Lizton’s Eighteenth Victory LIZTON, Ind., Jan. 9. —The local high school basketball quintet defeated the Thorntown team, the score being 31 to 6. Lizton, this year, has a “wonder team” and will no doubt register high up in the state finish. This is the team’s eighteenth straight game without a loss.

MtCTSCHQOI. TECH SET FOR BIG WEEK-END The Technical High school basketball squad will go to Franklin tonight, where it is scheduled to hook up with the powerful high school quintet of that place. Franklin ’is regarded by local dopesters as the most versatile aggregation in Indiana and the result of tne contest tonight is expected to show just where the Techites stand in tho race for the state title. On paper the Green and White basketeers do not appear to have a chance against the powerful Johnson county aggregation, but the dope bucket bas been upset quite a few times this year and followers of the east side in stltutlon are not a bit pessimistic. Franklin has lost but one game this year, and that by a narrow margin to the Martinsville quintet on the Martinsville floor. Tech, on the other hand, has been guilty of playing erratic ball all season, having won seven contests and lost four. The ray of hope that Tech students are grasping at in tonight’s game U based on *he way their team defeated the strong Columbus fire a short time ago. when the dope had them beaten by twenty points. Not content with the hard game with Franklin tonight the Tech state" team will hit the trail again tomorrow, this time for Greencastle, where they will meet the husky high school aggregation there in a contest regarded as second in importance only to the game tonight and the scrap with Bedford, Feb. 14. Tech will engage In a miniature tournament Jan. 24. Brownsburg. Thorntown, Tech and Ben Davis will compete. The tourney will be held at Brownsburg. This meet Is an annual affair at Brownsburg, Shortridge being the last Indianapolis school to take part in it. NORTHWESTERN LEAGUE.

Olive Branch defeated the Second Baptists, 21 to 2; St. Mark’s deefated Grace Presbyterians, 40 to 7, and the Seventh Christians defeated the Community House five, 19 to 18. The Second Baptists took the place of the Northwestern Baptists in the league.

Physical Eds Switch Lineup for Fray With Central Normal Squad The Physical Eds will reopen their season Saturday with a changed lineup. Cannon formerly a guard, is leaving school the end of the month and Browne, the center, is out of the game as a result of injuries. Glunz and Duneen are to be used as forwards, and in recent Eraetices are showing up fine. Seelbach as been switched to center from forward and Schmidt has been changedto guard.
