LANDIS BOOM FOR BASEBALL HEAD STARTS ——— ■ Yanks Follow Cubs’ Move in !• Boosting Jurist as Commission Chairman. GAME’S LEADING FAN N By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. j i; NEW YORK, .lan. 26.—Judge Ken;- j *aw M. Landis of Chicago will be of- | ' fercd the chairmanship of the nationat i baseball commission prior to the joint meeting of the major leagues Feb. 11. wit is believed in local baseball circles '• ' today, following announcement of (>l. , '-T. L. Huston of the Yanks that the New . York club will back Judge Landis up.- : less some big New York man is favored j iy the joint committee appointed to ! select a candidate. Judge Landis is the only man whose candidacy has been espoused by any member of the inter-league committees. William Veeek of the .Chicago Cubs having come out strongly in bis favor. - The Chicago jurist has received consistent boosting from many directions and his attitude in the famous Federal league suit in Chicago, when he declined •to give a decision, wa him many firm friends in organized baseball. “Baseball has come to be a pretty big business.” said Col. Huston today and we need a big man as chairman of the ■ commission. In uiv own opinion Judge Landis fills all qualifications. Should the joint committee name a big New . .York man we might feci inclined to back him for civic pride if for nothin',' ' else, but otherwise we arc in favor of Judge Landis if he is nominated.” . Whether the Chicago jurist would consider the chairmanship of the commission is still a question, but he Is known . to be an ardent follower of baseball and If assured the united support of the two big leagues it is believed he would accept ~thc nomination. i JOE DUNN BUSY.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 26.—The world's champion Cincinnati Nationals will play the Washington Americans eighteen games during the spring training season, according to the schedule given out by j ibe Cincinnati management here. Teams Entered in Local District of Big Amateur Meet Are Evenly Matched The strongest amateur teams ever organized in this city will compete for j honors in the Indianapolis sectional of the Indiana 150-pound amateur basket- | ba!' championship tournament at the Marion club, Feb. 4 and 5. The seven ; , teams on the entry list of the local ; district are: Debonalrs, South Side Turners, “Y” Leaders, Pair-O Dice, Joy and Glooms, Lauters and Boys’ club. To| pick the strongest of these combinations Is a task that no one has applied for to date. On paper, and In a few- other ways, the South Side Turners look the best. This squad Is composed of former high school players and Included In their line i up are the three captains of last year’s Manual, Shortridge and Technical state teams. Secrest, guard, led the Manual team; Hennessey, forward, captained the; Shortridge five, and Seidenstecker, guard, piloted the Technical athletes. Johnny ] . Rice, all-state high school forward of the Manual team last season, teams with Hennessey at the forward station. Geot and Grund are the other members of the squad. Then there are the Pair O-Diee, “Y" Leaders and the Joy and Glooms, three undefeated teams, to be considered. The , Xeaders have been together for the past J three years and during that time have gained a reputation that is not to be 1 laughed at. Last year they were easily the best amateur quintet in the state, i The .Toy and Glooms are practically the Broad Ripple High school team of last year and if they show the class in the tourney that thev have displayed in their games against the strong amateur and Independent clubs of the state all season, they will afford tough sailing for any outfit they go up against. The Debonalrs, T/auters and Boys’ club must also be given a place with the best teams. Tbpy have been playing great basketball this year and, although they have been defeated in early season games, they may be counted upon to put up strong fights. The Boys' club roster includes the same men who won the championship in Wayne Emmelman’s city tournament In 1917. Season tickets for the local district play are on sale at 12 South Capitol avenue.

Fred McCullough and sev- j <rai other “stars among stars” will be given a chance to establish record counts. ! The Sunday afternoon and eveningperformer certainly did all that could be asked of them when they knocked , off the leaders in both the doiiblos and singles. Carl Gordon now holds first ! plaoe in the singles with a 687 total and the Schleimer-Nordholdt combine j tion is on top in the doubles with 1.233 | pins. The new doubles count is just twelve pins better fban the one posted bj j Tucker and Rassmussen last week and | Gordon’s score is thirty higher than I the one that sent Charlie Liebtag up to { rbe honor place last Thursday. Gordon hit the pins like a real ehnm- | pion should. He got 264 in his firt game, came back for 197 in the second ! and finished with 226. It Is going to i take a mighty wicked stick to get a better total. Spotts got three games over the 200 ! mark and went into a tie with Ted Sourbier for the third and fourth places with a 636 total. Gordon and Spotts were the only men who landed among the first ten in the doubles yesterday, but they were not the only ones who pulled a bit of fea< ture work. Fulton opened up with nothing much, but his second game count of 257 put him in line for a place up in front. He spilled the beans with a 149 in the closing frame. Elmer Knapke was weak in his first, game and the two good scores he fol- i lowed with were wasted. Harry Steffen got a brace of double centuries but the second game was far from such and it ruined his chances. Can you imagine a stunt like Nordboldt pulled? After knocking ’em for a goal in the doubles he went down for a 43i total In the singles. Wallis took the brown derby with a 392 total, which is a little better than Jess Pritchett has been able 'to do In one game. Farmer was out of luck. He couldn't even get a two hundred score. Thomas looked like a warm baby after his first game in which he got 224, but all he got in his second and third efforts you could stick In your eye. When you stop to figure what Scbleimer and Norhodlt had to do to take top doubles position there Isn't a thing to do but give them plenty of credit. Neither one of them got a jitney's worth in the first round and the crowd passed 'em up as “bad luck experts,” but both of them came back in the second and third games and gave the pins terrible punishment, Sohleimer getting 231 and 240 and Nordboldt 211 and 231. It is hard to say whether Kirkboff and Kennlngton should get a kick in the shins or a lot. of sympathy. They worked like a couple of tried and true vets In the first game and got 476 pins, the highest one game total rolled in the tourney to date. However, the second and third rounds were “funeral marches. They got eighth place. Naughton and Murphv stand seventh for the time being with a total of 1,162 Batbien and Miller didn't get so many, but tbe latter put the skids under 238 in the last game. There vveye a few good counts knocked off Saturday night but none was worthy of a championship title. Hansing's 616 was the best thing showD In the singles. It put him in a tie with Irish and Hamilton for the fifth, sixth and seventh positions.* They moved down two places yesterday. Bines got 239 in bis second game but memories of his first effort held down the excitement. Bash was the star of the combination, getting a 247 in the second frame. Scheering and Loeohle landed the eighth place but were shoved off the first ten world by the Sunday shooters.

Tech Quintet Looms as Probable Winner in Local Sectional East Side Five’s Stock Goes Up ds Result of Tourney at ’ Brownsburg. DRAYER LOOKS STRONG By HEZE CLARK. Technical high school basketball team, winner of the four-cornered tournament at Brownsburg Saturday, looms up as a possible winner of the district meet, to be held in Indianapolis March 5 and 6. Technical won the final game in the four-cornered tourney from Brownsburg by a 26 ; t0-l0 score. In the afternoon games Tech defeated Ben Davis, 35 to 11, and Brownsburg put Thorntown out by a 23-to-8 score. Experience gained in the four-cornered tourney wili he a great help to Coach Black's quintet when the district tournev is played. A team of big athletes has a better chance in a tourney than a quintet of smaller men because the big men, properly trained, have more strength and endurance than the lightweight athletes. GRANT PICKING UP IN SPEED. Technical is a team, of big fellows. Drayer, center, is 6 feet 3 Inches in height and well built. He is showing improvement In speed, and it would seem that he might be called a “secoud Stonebraker" for he plays the same type of game the former famous lYabash college star plays. To play winning basketball in a tourney it is necessary to have a strong defense, and that is just what Coach Black has developed at Technical. The Brownsburg offense was halted because of the play of Hawkins, Black and Nipper. When Tech stopped the Brownsburg offense the Indianapolis quintet really stooped a strong offense, for Stewart, Liogeman and Robinson are all good goal shots. Robinson found tbe basket on four field goals, But Stewart and Lingeman could not connect with the draperies. Tbe style of play used by Tech is somewhat different than that of other high school teams, and for that reason it is sure to cause Tech's opponents some worry. Drayer appears to be the man to whom the Green and White athletes work the ball, but at a time when the Tech offense seems halted by one or two men covering tbe giant center then tbe Indianapolis team changes its style of offense. Slaughter or Black play tbe basket and cither one is a good goal shot. BACK GIARD STEADY PLAYER. Nipper, while designated as a forward in tne lineup. Is really a guard, for he plays entirely on the defense as a floor guard. There is many a college coach who would like to have a back guard of the height and strength of Hawkins, the Tech defensive man. He is the type of athlete that never appears to get wor ried. and his play did much to bait Brownsburg's offense. Coach John Symmons of the Brownsburg team, and G. H. Rcilzel, principal of the Brownsburg High school, deserve to be congratulated on the well conducted tourney held at Brownsburg under their management Saturday. Every team went away feeling that it hail received fair treatment from the officials, from the spectators and also declaring that every game was cleanly played. LOCAL “STATE” TEAM STANDING. Won.

Technical climbs into first place In the local ‘state’' team standing as a result of her three wins last week and Short ridge's two defeats. Broad Ripple won one and Manual dropped one, neither's standing on the ladder being affected. The dope came through without a splash Pxi-epf in the case of Shortridge. which quintet booted one out in the sticks. Since New Richmond conquered .Teffersou high, there has been a suspicion that good basketball was heing played up in that burg. Manual played a wonderful game against Rochester and caused many local fans to sit up and rub their eyes. Broad Ripple came near dropping one to New Augusta by leaving Garrett on the sidelines until the last ten minutes of play. At that. Whitlnger handled the center job in a wormanllke manner for the Rippleites. and the old wrecking crew—Smith, Robertson, Howe and Morris kept their team in the running, Mor ris counting fourteen points for his quintet. Franklin looked like a world-beater against Shortridge and critics are al most unanimous in declaring her the fastest high school team seen here this season, not excepting even Lizton and, by the way, Lebanon conquered Lizton Saturday night after the Lizzies had ac cumulated twenty-one straight victories, and Shortridge plays Lebanon here at the "Y“ next Saturday evening. Oh, boy' Tbe Technical and Shortridge "seconds” will stage a curtain raiser.
