SCHOOL BOARD MEETS TO LIFT FOOTBALL BAN City School Officials Believed Ready to Restore Sport at Tonight’s Session. GRAFF FAVORS SPORT Tbe ban on football in the Indianapolis high schools will be lifted tonight Ht a meeting of the board of school c<>m.missionere. This was the message sent out todaj by the men behind the movement to restore the grid game to the local high school athletic program. The message reached E. U. Graff, superintendent of Indianapolis public schools, and, although he refused to either confirm or deny the report it did not seem to sur- ' prise him the least hit. Members of the board of school commissioners stated that it seemed certain that the question that has kept sportsmen of the city in a state of excitement for the past three months would arise at the meeting tonight and a final decision handed down. If the question arises tonight the ban will he lifted, according to the best information available today. REPORTS OF PRINCIPALS READY. Superintendent Graff has stated that he has the report of the committee of school principals, appointed three months ago to investigate the situation, r ®ady to present to the school board and he is readv to put the matter in their hands. However. Mr. Graff did not state definitely whether or not he would, bring the discussion up ftt tonight s meeting. At noon today he did not have his program for the meeting entirely arranged and he had not yet decided if it would be best to lay the grid question aside until the next meeting, or bring it up tonight and have it over with. Alumni of various Indiana colleges and prominent business men of the city who are interested in the movement were inclined to bplie\e that he would place the question before the commissioners tonight. Each of the three high school principals appointed on the special invosiliratlon committee by Mr. G™* turned in a written report indicating their views of the situation, and all are belletved to favor the sport with reservations. Superintendent Graff, personally, does not oppose the lifting of. the ban. He said this morning that, in view of the fact that Indiauapolls lias been holding duel meets in baseball, basketball and track for several years, lie sees no reason why football should be barred because of an Incident that happened years ago following a grid clash between Manual and Shortrldge. Jle said that if the Interest in other athletic contests is not so keen as to cause student} to resort to rowdyism, ha is confident that it would not be too keen in football.

Boomer and his assistants cut a pack of cards to see who should shoulder the cross, the lot falling to the professional. Ho sallied forth with the Spaniard and explained the grip and the stance. • “Yes,’ remarked the pupil, “I see the idea, but tell me how Is it possible to avoid hitting my feet when I swing?” It is told on good authority that when the Spaniard did eventually make the passes An the air the professional automatically lumped back a few paces to ■void the danger.

Crane Signs Contract With Cincy; Tribe to Get SIO,OOO or Players CINCINNATI, Jan. 13. -The signed contract of Infielder Sam Crane has been received by the Cincinnati club. The deal for Crane was adjusted some time ago. Manager Moran could not promise Manager Jack Hendricks of the Indianapolis club and particular players in exchange for Crane, but it was agreed that the price of SIO,OOO would be given in case Pat can not satisfy Indianapolis after he looks over his- younger material on the training trip. Crane was with the Reds at their camp at Montgomery two years ago this spring, but Manager Matheson preferred Lena Blackburne for the shortfield position and sold Sam. He is a brilliant fielder, but has never' been a very strong hitter. Manager Moran is anxious to have a firstclass fielder around to fill in if accident robs the team of the services of any of its regulars and he will carry Crane as utility man. President Herrmann said today that he will sign up First Baseman Myers. Third Baseman Schreiber and Shortstop Rapp at once and will send them all on the training trip. Schreiber had a thorough trial with the team hist September, filling in at third base, while Groh was out of the game with a broken finger, and doing very capable work. He also played shortstop in a few games when Larry Kopf was out toward the end of the season. Myers and Rapp did not get a chance with the champions, but will be given a test at Miami in the spring. The signed contract of Pitcher .Timmy Ring was received yesterday at President Herrmann’s office. Manager Moran took a trip from Fitchburg to Brooklyn last week and had no trouble in coming to terms with Ring, who at once signed and sent on his document. He is the second man on the Red pitching staff to cpme into the fold, Slim Sallee having signed up a week ago. Manager Hendricks of the Indians announced today that contracts had been mailed out to fourteen players for the 1920 season. Papers were sent only to those now the property of the Indianapolis team and there probably will be at least twenty men under contract by March, when the squad will get ready for the training trip south. In speaking of the Crane deal with Cincinnati, Hendricks stated that Cincinnati already had paid the local blub $5,000 and was bound by agreement to deliver two players satIsfactory to the Indians or $5,000 more In cash. As the situation looks now Hendricks was certain he would get players, a shortstop and an outfielder.

iJ||jScHOOt TWO OVERTIME GAMES. Two overtime games featured the play in the City High School Basketbail league play yesterday afternoon. The Shortridge Comets won an extra period scrap from the Technical Whites at the Shortridge gym by a count of 18 to 16, while the Shortridge Whites took an overtime battle from the Manual Duplicates at the Technical gym by a 10-to-8 count. The Technical Greens and the Tech Purples kept the east side school in the lead in the loop by defeating the Shortridge Meteors. 29 to (>, and the Manual Triangles, 22 to 2, respectively.

Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock, in the Shortridge gym, the Mooresvllle High school basket quintet will tackle the Blue and White five in the first mid-week game seen on a local floor for some time. The matinee contest is exciting interest among fans because one of the local schools. Technical, was defeated by Mooresville quite recently. Mooresvllie also has beaten two other nearby schools, Southport (27 to 101 and Plainfield (25 to 22), while Danville and West Newton have victories over her by scores of 45 to 19 and 29 to 25, respectively. “Hank" Stevens, a mainstay of the S. H. S. quint, is nursing a badly sprained wrist, acquired during the Brazil contest last Saturday night, when he collided with the wall, and it looks as if he would have to view the fracas from the bleachers. Debonairs vs. Femdales in Big Basket Game at Marion Gym Tonight One of the biggest amateur basketball clashes of the year will be staged on the Marlon club floor tonight, when the Debonairs meet the Ferndales. The records of these two teams show victories over some of the best amateur and independent teams in the state, and they will go Into the fray tonight ready to tight from whistle to whistle. Coach Squires ran his Debonairs through a light workout last night, and they are in good shape after their tough battle with the Plainfield Independents Saturday. The “Debs” probably will start the fight against their west side rivals with Starbuck and O’Cain at the forward positions, Et.tris at center and Clampit and Averitt doing the guarding. The Debonairs were carded in a return game with the Moscow Independents Friday night, hut the contest has been canceled, owing to the Illness In the Moscow squad.

Connie Mack Gets Busy and Threatens to Have Real Team Athletics' Manager Draws Up Elaborate Spring Schedule for 1920 Hopes. PHILADELPHIA. .Tan. 13.—Connie Mick will have the most elaborate schedule of exhibition games in the south next spring that the Athletics ever have attempted, j Because of the early stirt to Lake Charles, the lean leader expects to be playing a game every day from March 4 to tbe opening of the season, which will j be axound April 14. Mack's biggest set of games will be played against Branch ! Rickey’s National league team, which will do its training at Brownsville, Tex.^ Mack will carry the biggest string he ever took south. He expects to have forty players with him and he will divide the squad into two not ao j much on the usual veteran-yanlgsn basis as on an equal division of strength. One , of tbe teams will do all tbe playing against the Cardinals. The other team will stay in Lake Charles and play Texas league teams. It's going to be Mack's policy to have teams A and B playing ■ games every day. Mack has not yet de elded which team he will personally com- j mand. it is easy to gather from Mack's In-1 tensive spring campaigns and Ills general : enthusiasm that he expects to boost the, Athletics back in the baseball sun again.! it. must not. be forgotten that the Athletics picked up some powerful material j at the close of the season. Red Wingo, j Ivy's brother, batted .305 In fifteen games, i Red can sock the pill with Babe Ruth i ferocity and if be does not win a post i in the outfield, fans here will lose faith j in their judgment. Another jewel is Griffin, Ihe first base- > man, who hit .294 in seventeen games In the shank of the race and moreover i fielded like Stuffy MclnnK. Griffin Is Mack's third first saker, lie having Burns I i and Burrus to contend with, and Connie j may solve the problem by sending one or two of the candidates to the outfield. I Both ,Burns and Burrus were 'tried in I the outfield last fall and each shone to! good advantage, the work of Burns being j a big surprise. A New York paper printed a story that j Amos Strunk and Burns were going to | be traded to Washington. Mack used j emphasis in denying the story. He said ! that he would not recede from hls deter- j mlnatlon of several weeks ago not to sell or trade any more players to big league | teams. "The other managers know this so well," said Connie, “that I haven’t had an offer this winter for a player. This ought to stop future pipe stories of trades and sales Involving any of my players." Mack Is of the belief that, the friction In the American league will <Jie n natural death. He thinks that the faction opposed to Ban Johnson will see the frultlessness of any further combative efforts and will string along with the other owners and endeavor to make 1920 tbe biggest year in history. Yale’s Grid Card NEW HAVEN, .Tnn. 13.—Yale's football schedule for this year, announced Monday night, shows the Blue eleven will meet three teams that were not played last, season.

The Capitol Alley five took their turn at the prizes in tbe five man arena and the manner in which they crashed Into the maples gave the gallery something to hceer about. The Capitols hung up the remarkable total of 2,967. and tnough such fast teams as the Centra! Alley five and the Marot.ts take the alleys tonight, they will have to step some in order to approach the work of tbe Capitols. llsbe also came through with a 231, while Anchor man Hackerd popped his hall down the alleys for counts of 221, 197 and 214. The Capitols got game counts of 997, 1,063 and 597, and that middle effort looks good to stand. Harry Hurt led ids teammates withs 267 >n the big game, which is high single score for the tournament. A1 Rabe was on the Job also with a 238, and with a pair of men shooting like that, the team certainly had something to crow about today. Rabe’s tbree-game score was 648, with Hackerd pressing him with 632. Yep. it was a big night for the Capitols, and they feel like spending the top prize money now. The Elks Indians shot into fourth place in the nve-man standiug with a count of 2,669, and tie Brunswick Phonographs edged Into third place with a 2,681. Coble got two double centuries out of his three efforts with the Elks Indians, and Nordholt got into the limelight with thp Brun-swick Phonographs with similar shooting. Henry of the Brunswick Tires attracted some attention in his last game when he crashed into the maples for a 253. He came up gradually to the big count. Powers Was the “big boy” for the Masked Marvels. Starting with a 181 he spurted and turned in 216 and 222. With that kind of shooting this team would have given the Capitols a race bad Powers’ teammates followed his pace. As it was, the Marvels crept into second place in the standing. Bush was the only other member of the Marvels to grab off a double century. Clwnlo got it In his first game, but he couldn’t keep up the big stuff. The Strauss Says v/ere on tbe alleys, but they were unable to say much after their trial. The members of the squad couldn't find their stride and not one was able to break into the double century class. Graber’s Five was present also, but failed to grab anything big. Tbe Marott pinraen stand a chance to bo out of luck tonight. John Klingman, one f their huskies, has been on the sick list for a week and is hardly strong enough to take the drives. Sick or not sick, you haven’t noticed Johnny laying down on the tournament job have you? He has been over his ears In work for the last month. Mayor Charles W. Jewett and his City Hall No. Z quintet will take a shot at the top scores tonight, and they intend to get some place. When tbe boss of the city rolls up his shirt sleeves and starts after tbe wood be will be just plain "Charlie" and one of the most enthusiastic men around the Central alleys. Here's hopin’ he gets all that's coming to him. “Don't, forget, to take a squint at the K. of C. bowlers in tbe second squad. The stars of the loop have been thrown into the quintet that snoots tonight, and if the wood doesn’t fly. it wiill be because It is nailed to the alley. The Block Opticians are also carded. ’Nuff said. LEAGUE LEADERS I.AST NIGHT. Manufacturers’ league. Cooney ( Western Union 244 Rotary league, Grossman (Deuces Wild) 232 Commercial league.

CUE GOSSIP

HaiSlup knocked 'em down for a pair of double centuries ami Pauley and Wal* tou came through with one each. The National Autos grabbed two out of the three from the Western Unions, the key pounders coming up lu tbe last game. The Nationals hung up 983 for high team total, getting a 983 In their first attack. King swung on tho wood for 237 his first time, but blew his cork on* that one aud faltered in the next two. Tbe other members of the team each came through with a big count in one game. Cooney of the Western Unions tapped ; the maples for 244 in his third game and j walked off with high single game score in this loop for the evening. The Kingans sported a clean sweep after their setto with the National For- 1 ties. Sylvester, Gough and Copeland de- i livered double century punches for the i Kingans and Wade grabbed off one for! the Nationals. The Wbeeler-Scheblers also put over a clean sweep success on the Imperials. The usual Monday ntght bargains were passed out in the Rotary circuit. The Worry Chasers handed the' Bell Hops a two-game tip and were willing to give them the third, but Field and Lauter Insisted on exploring the 140 neighborhood and the Hops had to give away the third victory. This makes about, the third week straight tbe Chasers of Worry have been trounced. Doc. Waguer didn't get a ton of pins In the game tho Bell Hops lost, but be kicked out 223 in the first round. The Shoe Strings gave the Bee VeeDees two beatings. Made 'em look rather ragged in other words. The things that are always coming untied when your hands are “nigh frozed,” didn't register many double hundred counts, but they all managed to keep up in the fashionable district. Shepard went big iu his last two games, 199 and 211. The Chops bounced the Deuces Wild twice, but Grossman aud his 232 stopped their third advance. The Crescent Paper-Premier Motor match in the Commercial loop amounted to a whole lot. The Papers took the first two rounds with just a few pins to spare, and in the third frame they made the Premier crew use Harry French to wifi. The Brunswick Phonograhps roiled in the city tourney and they turned up missing for their mntch with the Citizens Gas. They will roll against the three big counts the Citizens registered at a later date. It is a good thing for Ilarshman that he got a large enough count to'win top one game honors. The brace of double centuries ho handed the Standard Oils amounted to mere nothings wheu the Marmon No. 2 shooters got organized. The auto builders took every game. Tbe Marmon 34s also turned in a clean card. Tbe Keyless Locks were their victims. The Marmon bouncers didn’t have such a tough night after ail. The outfit in the Manufacturer's loop climbed up a notch on tbe leading National Autos, by scoring three wins. The Liberty Motor champs will take tbe drives in city tourney tomorrow night, and they are expected to get money winning counts. There will be four Marmon. teams in the fray.

Fulton Trims Moran , but Critics Can't See His Chance With Jack Minnesota Giant Fails to Show Old Speed—Also Lacks Sleep. Wallop. MORAN GAME TO FINISH NEW YORK, Jan. 13.—Two shadows are missing from the well-known trail of Jack Dempsey today. One Is the lankyshadow of Fred Fulton, the other the pudgy shade of Charles Francis Moran. Asa result of tbeir eight-round bout at Neyark, Fulton and Moran have eliminated each other as contenders for the heavyweight title and Jack Dempsey stands out as a very lonesome champion as far as American opponents are con cerned. ' . Fulton’s victory over Moran—for the Minnesota bean pole easily outpointed the Pittsburger—is at best a hollow one. Moran in defeat was the Idol of the ringside fans and be put up the battle of bis life, though he took his worst beating. Everything Fulton had In the way of a punch was stopped by Moran. The lanky giant hammered away at Sir Francis after the fashion of a stone-cutter with a sledge hammer in both ha nd|. But he could not knock out the old war horse from the Smoky City and he proved to the satisfaction of those who saw him that he has no business in the same ring with Jack Dempsey. Six of the eight rounds went to Fulton. In the first round Moran rushed the Minnesotan and won a draw. In the fourth Moran took the honors and all but had Fulton out. He lacked the strength to put across the winning punch. Jack Dempsey may now devote his entire attention to Georges Carpentier ana the movies. Tourney Leaders FIVE-MAN EVENT.
