Several weeks ago the canoe club was awarded a sanction for the event, which was originally carded for this week, but when it was learned the government had taken over the coliseum for the pm' pose of storing automobile trucks and there was no other suitable place in the city for holding the meet, a postpone ment was necessary. With the date moved back it was necessary for the board of managers to issue anew sanction.

Pitcher Herb Hall Joins Marmon Ranks and Will Play Here The Marmon 34 baseball team today added Herb Hall, former star pitcher with the Kansas City American association club, to its lineup, and he is ready to don the uniform of the Nordyke-Mar-mon company next spring. Hall, who was not scheduled to get here from Kansas City until early next week, arrived yesterday, and this morning entered the service school at the big auto company. The big right hander is expected to win many n game for Josh Devore’s team this season. The Marmon lineup is nearly complete, except for a catcher, and Devore is hot on the trail of one who performed in the American association last year. All the players are employed at the Marmon company.

WHAT THEY SAY FRED MITCHELL. Perhaps Fred Mitchell, manager of the Chicago Cubs, is sorry that he once let “Dutch" Reuther go to Cincinnati on a waiver price and ho has been put on the “grease” for It. "Tbs? army life, in my opinion, made Reuther,” says Mitchell. ‘‘The strict discipline he got there was just what he needed. The club manager tries to enforce discipline, but he is a poor substitute for Uncle Sam. “A manager can’t wait for a young player to settle down. A big league club isn’t a training camp." JOHNNY EVERS. Fickleness of public opinion is taking a swing at Johnny Evers, ex-star player and manager, who was at one time the greatest drawing card, of the pastime. “Well, here I am on the outside looking in. I thought I could cop a baseball job before this, but there doesn’t seem to be many lying around loose. I’m a good waiter. I used to wait ’em out at the bat, so I gueas I will just wait ’em out for another year and see what happens.” GUNBOAT SMITH. Gunboat Smith, who fought Georges Carpentier, Is still a great admirer of Jack Dempsey. The Gunner says that the Frenchman is a real fighter, however. As to Dempsey—well, here it is: “I don’t believe Dempsey has met one man as good as Carpentier in his whole career. The mob he licked in the last two years was nothing but a bunch- of hams. Wait until Dempsey has been extended in a fight, then we’ll know whether he’s the star he’s supposed to be or not. Yet .Taek the Giant Killer looks a bit the better of this proposed International match to me right now.” MORE WHITE SOX DATES. CHICAGO, Jan. 28.—Additional games for the White fcox training trip were announced today. They are March 27 at Ft. Worth. March 28 at Dallas, March 29 at Georgetown and March 30 at Austin. French Feather Champ Loses His Left Hand PARIS. Jan. 28.—The pugilistic career of Louis de Ponthleu, featherweight champion of France, ended Monday when surgeons amputated his left hand to save the fighter’s life. He met Taney Lee, the British champion, in this city on Christmas day. and, though he knocked out his opponet in the seventeenth round of their bout, he injured his hand and blood poisoning developed.

MANAGING CARDINALS AND HORNSBY KEEPS HIM BUSY

'Sw l ™" w \?) JF BRANCH s '|Sp% kii 4# * RICKEY"

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 28.—Branch Rickey, one of baseball’s most Interesting characters, really has two jobs in one—managing the Cardinals, and managing Rogers Hornsby. The latter job is the one. that has got him most publicity and made him a taiked-of figure from coast to coast. Branch has some wonderful talen’t on his squad and he thinks so much of it that he doesn't care to trust any one else with the managerial reins the coming season. He relinquisned the presidency of the club so he could have his entire time to manage the men on the field. He is optimistic and .also a purveyor of good-natured humor. I don’t really know whether It was real optimism or humor when he said to me: “Well, the Reds have won a pennant at last, so why not the Cardinals?” And then he launched forth" on the uppermost topic—Rogers Hornsby. You can’t talk baseball with Rickey long without getting Hornsby - Into the, discussion. “In seven years I have sold but one player—Gonzales,” said Rickey, “and that was because Gonzales was dissatisfied and it was foolish to keep him on the team. “For two or three seasons the club has had no surplus funds. But as hard up as we were we refused to listen to high bids made for Hornsby then. The season of 1919 was better all around, i guess every one made a little money. Anyhow bur club is in a position now where we can go out and bid for players ourselves. Certainly if we would not sell Hornsby during those hard-up years we will not sell him now. "I don’t believe In marketing players and making your own club a training ground and stepladder for some other team in Its pennant climb. "Look at poor Connie Mack.” But just the same Rickey Is pleased that such a high valuation should be

Brilliant Mark Left in Big Leagues by the Veteran Turner NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—Terry Turner, for years a brilliant and consistent infielder with the Cleveland Indians, has taken the count as a major leaguer. Turner was recently turned loose by the Philadelphia Athletics and he has landed a berth with the Columbus American association club, where he first broke into prominence. For a good many seasons, while playing in Cleveland, Turner won a place in Spalding’s annual hall of fame. His playing during his heyday as an in fielder was always consistent, often brilliant and altogether versatile, for he was at home on seeoud. third or short, and could play the outfield. ENTERED M*AJORS * IN 1904 SEASON. Turner Is 39 years of agp. He first appeared with the Cleveland club in 19<H, having come up from Columbus via the trade route. He served contin nously with the Cleveland club until last year, when he was unconditionally released In mid-season and later picked up iby f onnie Alack. Terry was a real star at short and third for a good many year, though he was rapidly going back when, in 11418, a scarcity of players enabled him to hang on, under Lee Fob], as the Cleveland club was hard hit by the draft and enlistments and Turner was able to hit the average brand of pitching that season and play third acceptably. According to the standards required by the -average manager of today Turner was an ideal ballplayer. He was always a hard worker and be was in there hustling day In and day out, seas( n in and season out, and never gave the managers of the Indians any trouble. He was also a smart player, a hard man for the pitchers to fool when his batting orbs were at their best and a player who knew the right play whenever he was called upon to make it. SAYS JOHNSON MADE HIM SPLASH. There was only one pitcher in the American league who really had it over Turner. That pitcher's name Is Walter Johnson. In the spring of 1914 Turner worked out Tor a while with the Pirates and the Indianapolis Indians at Hot Springs, Ark., and one day, talking of pitchers, he remarked that Johnson was one pitcher who could make him hunt the “bucket." “That fellow throws ’em so fast that

NEW TREND OF THOUGHT IN COLLEGE ATHLETICS SEEN

NEW Y’OItK, Jan. 28.—At least three things indicating anew trend of though, in regard to physical education grew out of the meeting of coaches and athletic Instructors of American colleges at the meetings of the N. C. A. A. at the Hotei Astor here. First was the development of the fact that football, according to the consensus of opinion of coaches, has reached its final stage and the public will no longer be bothered trying to assimilate new rules every year. Iu other words, in the belief of coaches for that sport, the game Is now standardized and rules from now on will undergo few changes. BRAWN DOESN’T COUNT SO MUCH. The report by the football rules committee here was to the effeet that “the open game now made possible by rules made in other years almost entirely eliminates undesirable features such as mass play, gives the greatest possible play to skill and mental ability and the smallest to brawn and weight, apd is most pleasing from the spectators'lpoint of view.” J The second development was ttkt In

BASKET BALL

placed on the services of Hornsby. Babe Ruth is said to have brought 8123.000, but one club In the National league was will, ins to let loose of the equivalent of $140,000 to get Hornsby. The offer amounted to $70,000 In cash, four players worth $60,000 and a SIO,OOO commission to an agent who was trying to put the deal over. It is now stated that Hornsby is signed to a three-year contract with the Cards at $23,000. “Hornsby will spend his baseball career on the St. Louis lot,” said Rickey. Two years ago the Cubs offered $30,000 for Rogers and the bid today is almost treble. Hornsby played at second base toward the end of 1919 and the experts say ha looks better there than at third. And think of a corking good infielder like him being practically tied for the batting championship or the circuit. Rut Horns by isn't the only player Rickey Is proud oi. There ate several and one of the boys he takes especial pride in is Clifford Heatheofe, outfielder, who jumped frpm the Penn State college team direct to the Cards and made good. His stunt is even more sensational than that of George Slsler, another Rickey protege. Heathcote went to the Cards from the freshman class at Penn State. Being a freshman he was ineligible to play at the college. Heathcote has lots of promise. He has been playing in the outfield, but may get a chance at first. Austin McHenry is another of Rickey's hopefuls. In Ills first full season be grabbed the limelight by leading the league hitters for a brlet spell. And Milton Stock is another who is getting better each season. His 191’.* work at third was the best of his career and Rickey believes he will be ul> amongst them this coming season. The old Cardinal squad has been thoroughly cleaned out under Rickey and he now has a team to his own liking. Bill Doak and Jake May, pitchers, and Outfielder •Tack Smith are the only players now with Rickey who were there when he first joined the ('arils.

Return of Coach Jones Gives Yale Fans Thrill Official announcement that Tad Jones is going back to coach tlie 1920 football team at Vale gave the supporters of old Eli a great thrill of pleasure._ For lust year harmouy was not in the New Haveu camp. i Dr. A1 Sharpe made a bad Impression with thp rooters. With good material he failed to build n machine. He will, in the future, devote his time to directing the athletic policy of the school. “Too many cliques,” he says. "They may think they are working for the best interests of the college, but they are not." Disobeying signnlfFwas charged against members of the team iu the Harvard game. The football committee appointed recently omitted the name of Walter Camp, one of the country’s leading football authorities. This is regarded as a significant fact. Something has been decidedly wrong with Y'ale. “There won’t be anything wrong this year,” says ('apt. Tipi Callahan. Tad .Tones will serve as coach without monetary consideration. He is hailed as Yale’s savior. they look like a pea coming up to the plate,” said Turner, “and I’ll admit that, old as I am, with an ambition to stick as loug as I can in the big show, I never take undue chances of getting beaned by one of Walter’s shoots.” Terry did pretty well after that for a fellow who readily admitted that lie was about through in the big show. He hung on five more years. Cue Stars Perform Three pocket billiard stars were scheduled to perform at the Board of Trade room this afternoon and a second program will be given tonight. George Spears, Frank Hoppe and James Thompson, all experts at various styles of plav, were ready this afternoon to demonstrate their skill to Indianapolis fans. Spears is a straight rail artist, Hoppe, a pocket billiard wizard and Thompson is the boy wonder of the. outfit. DONAHUE AT VIRGINIA. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va„ Jan. 28. M. J.

regard to boxing. The recommendation of the secretary of war and others that boxing be made a regular part of college curriculum of physical training was accepted generally and it is likely that this year will see a great development along that line. STIPULATIONS FOR PHYSICAL TESTS. The third development was the adoption of the suggestion of Dr. J. E. Raycroft of Princeton, that physical tests in colleges be standardized as follows: In order to successfully pass a physical training examination an applicant must be able to run 100 yards in fourteen seconds or less, throw a hand grenade thirty yards into a target ten feet square, make a running broad jump of twelve feet, climb an eight-foot smooth fence, unassisted, and compete successfully In an obstacle race which is to be standardized. That America is going seriously into ihe business, of training her young men to be physically perfect as nearly as possible, was ayldent from the attitudes of those who attended the meeting here, and universal physical training was tbd keynote of every meeting held.

BOXING TRYING TO RUIN JACK IN ENGLAND DENVER, Jan. 28.—With the avowed intention of spreading Jack Dempsey's war record before the British public in an effort to prevent the bout between the heavyweight champion and Georges Carpentier, anywhere in England, Leo Leyden Post or the American legion today forwarded copies of resolutions condemning Dempsey to the National Sporting club in Loudon and the Army Athletic association at Aldershot.

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—For a guarantee of $1,200 Joe Welling, the Chicago lightweight, has agreed to box George Chaney ten rounds in Baltimore on Friday night. The Bndleott A. of Binghamton, N. \\, has signed Paul Sampson, the Harlem heavyweight, and George Ashe of Philadelphia, to box ten rounds In Its arena on Feb 14. Because of an Injured band Willie Jnckson has been compelled to cancel the bout with Benny Yalger, the French lightweight, scheduled to take place In Newark Feb. 2.

Dan Yiorg.'iu, the well known manager of boxers, who handles Battling Levlnsky. Jack Britton, the welterweight, champion. and others, is confined to his home in New York with an attack of pneumonia. Reports come across the Delaware river to the effect that the number of rounds permitted in boxing contests In New Jersey will be extended to whatever limit is set in New Y'ork, should the sport be legalized in that state. ifibuSCHOOl WEEK-END GAMES. Friday Evening—Technical vs. Richmond, at Richmond. Manual vs. Bloomington, at Bloomington. Saturday Evening—Sliortridge vs. Lebanon, at the local V. M. C. A. gym. The Tech and Shortridge “Seconds” play a rurlaln raiser to this contest. Broad Ripple participates In a county tournament at the Marion club gym on Friday and Saturday morning, afternoon and evening. Manual has a hard nut to crack in her Bloomington game FrldAy night. Bloomington has won seven out of fourteen games reported and has the reputation this season of being an “in and outer.” She has defeated Technical (19 to 13), Muncie (37 to 16), Bedford (18 to 17), Martinsville (30 to 24), Mitchell (33 to 9), Brownsburg (37 to 13) and Pendleton (30 to 14). On the other hand, she has been beaten by Rochester (36 to 10), Greeneastle (19 to 8 slid 18 to 11), Lebanon (33 to 23), Martinsville (30 to 6), Anderson (34 to 7) and Jefferson (Lafayette) (18 to 13). Os the teams mentioned in this list, Manual has won over Pendleton (IS to 17) and lost to Jefferson (31 to 21) and Brownsburg (30 to 17). So the comparative score dope is all against the south slders. Few games have been reported by the Richmond outfit. Technical defeated Spiceland early in the season, 19 to 15, and Spiceland holds a 32-to-9 win over Richmond. Richmond has won. 18 to 17, over Muncie and has lost to Huntington, 24 to 14. It ought to be “easy pickings” for the Arsenal quiut. The formidable season's record of Lebanon, the conquerors of Lizton, as published in this column Tuesday, coupled with the fact that the redoubtable Hank Stevens will be out of the Shortridge lineup until the sectional, makes forecasting the result of Saturday evening’s clash at the “Y” an easy task. If the north slders win this one, we’ll eat. our hat. And, at that, we hope we have to try It. Shortridge will be further handicapped Saturday by the loss of Vorhees, tack guard, who has played out his limit in basketball time, under the ruleg of the Indiana High School Athletic association. Broad Ripple drew a hard one to start off with in. the county tourney—New Bethel. If the Rippleites cop this one, they are the best bet for the silver cup. New Bethel has whipped Broad Ripple this season. 21 to 20, but such a close count is of little use to journeymen dopesters. Honors are even between Ben Davis and the Ripple, each having a win over the other this year. Broad Ripple has beaten Cumberland. 41 to 17; Oaklandon, 23 to 8, and Castleton, 21 to 10.

Warren Township Is Hot After Laurels in County Tourney Fans Predict Fishers-Cumber-land Winner Will Reach the Finals Here. Warren township, represented by the Fishers and Cumberland high school teams in the Marlon County High School Basketball association tournament to be staged at the Marlon club Friday and Saturday, are not to be denied recognition when it comes to picking favorites in the big nnnual event. Both of these squads have been going strong, and though they are scheduled to clash Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock in a game which will eliminate one from the title running, Warren township fans predict that the winner of this match will be seen in the finals Saturday night. Fishers played Manual Training this season on the Manual floor and was beaten only by a 31-to-24 score, using but five men, while Manual was forced to call In five reserves in order to grab the victory. Fishers and Cumberland are represented by speedy players, who also have endurance, and the struggle between the two Is expected to equal in importance the game between Valley Mills and West Newton, which opens the tournament at the Marion club Friday morning. Thirteen county high schools, exclusive of the Indianapolis teams, will compete In the two-day event. Danville Beats Butler DANVILLE. Ind., Jan . 28.—Butler's basketball team suffered defeat at the hands of Central Normal last night. The score was 26 to 13. Central Normal played the best game it has shown this season and piled up a steady lead during the last neriod when the Butler men seemed unable to halt the rush of the men. The first half ended 10-7 in favor of the teachers. During the last period Thomas, Mussulman and Hostetler hit the rtm for the Normalltes for two baskets apiece. Hungate got one goal. Shockley was the main point getter for the Butler team, counting twelve of the team’s thirteen roints. Daniels got the other point on a foul.

The big bowling event of the season for local shooters, which has been ly progress on the Central nlleys since .Tan. 10, came to a close last night and, although the singles and doubles leaders held their scats. Charles Gray, a veteran of the game, pulled enough stuff to make the finish a whirlwind affair. He went big in the doubles and singles, took first place In all events by a big margin and stuck up anew high score for one game, when he floored 268 pins In his first effort for singles honor. In the doubles the veteran pounded out three big counts, two of them well over the double century line, and Meyer chipped in enough wood to send them to | third place In this division with a 1,194 total. Just to show that a little thing like shooting three games couldn't take any of his ginger away, Charley opened up his singles with a 208 score and came back for two other classy counts, getting a 616 total, which gave him a tie with Irish and Hamilton for tenth, eleventh and twelfth places. . Gray didn't stop to look around after his doubles and singles work, he sailed right ahead and got enough wook in his third three-game set to send his allevents total up to 1,854, and took first place In that, event, forty-eight pins ahead of Carl Gordon, who finished I second. It is true that the honorable Mr. Cray put on a wonderful performance and kept the spectators on their feet the entire evening, but. Just the siame, he wasn’t the only elephant in the show. Hoc Kemper led the singles shooters for the I night. He annexed 021 pins in his three efforts and went up to eighth place in the standing. Doe got most, of his wood I in the third game, when he hit for 226. Frank Coval got a 014 count and went !up to station No. 14 in the singles. His i curve refused to hreak in the first two ! games and he couldn't get above 180, but maybe you think he didn’t barrel the babies in the third round. If you don’t think so, kindly bear witness to his 242 count. Westover. Randall and Kirkhoff copped the last three positions in the singles with 602, 601 and 600 totals, respectively. Randall’s second game score was one of those kind that, look good in any class, but he was low In his first and second efforts. Kirkhoff didn’t do anything spectacular, just plodded on at a good old 200 pace. Bader hit down in the “bad eye” class in his first and third games, but looked hot in his middle round, when he drove through for 227. McAllen wasted a pair of donble centuries when he failed to deliver in the third round. Dellinger didn’t get a pocketful. Knipple and Fisher anchored at the | sixth position in the doubles with a 11,171 total. \ Hall and Goodwin crabbed off the

Boys 9 Club Quint Goihg After Title in Amateur Event South Side Boys Know the Game and Will Bid for 150-Pound Honors. The Boys’ club basket quintet that will compete for' honors in the Indianapolis sectional of the Indiana 100-pound amateur basketball championship tournament, to be staged on the Marion club court, Feb. 4 and 5, is the strongest that has ever represented the south side organization. Coached by Glick Klein, famous Em-Roe forward, the team has picked up speed by leaps and bounds during the past month and the outfit that stops them In the march to the local district championship Is going to have to perform a'mighty big task. The pick of the athletes from the J. Y. M. A. and the Boys’ club have been thrown Into one quintet to fight for the honor of the Meridian street club, and if they fail to display some of the classiest basketball witnessed on a local court this season they will fool their coach, as well as the large crowd of fans who have been watching their progress. Included on the Boys’ club roster are such stars as Joe Rosenthal, Joe Sagalowsky, Sol Sattinger, Mike Rosenthal and Dave Sagalowsky. These five lads have stood in the spotlight of amateur basketball for several seasons and seem to Improve every year. Joe Rosenthal and Joe Sagalowsky held the forward stations on the'V. Si. H. A. squad that captured the city championship In 11417. At that time they were considered the classiest pair of amateur forwards In the state. The six other teams entered in the local dis riet play are rounding into form for the big amateur event and any one of them will be worthy representatives of Indianapolis in the finals of the meet, which are carded at the M. C. A., Feb. 28 and 21). Season tickets for the Indianapolis sectional games are on sale at 12 South C'ailtol avenue. • Runners finishing one, two, three in the Detroit marathon, April 3, will have their expenses paid to the American mJratbon at Roston, April l'J.

The Llebtag mentioned Is nnro other than Charlie Met tag. who has b“en heaving the minerallte since the day Chris Columbus visited this country. Clark and Murr were, scheduled to get lots more than 1,016. Several other fellows shot, but indications are that they just did it to tie doing sometaiug. Andrews and Patterson had their dou-ble-century stuff with them last night, and the Feeney Furnitures had little trouble In taking two games from the Zenlte Metnis In Capitol league No. 2. The Krause Bros, went to sleep on the job in the first two games and the New Style Lagers knocked them off. The Lucky Strikes and Heller Coals finished in a knot, and in the rolloff the Strikes came out on top. The Stcgorneiors put the trim on the Hamtltons in the first round, but they paid a high price for their folly iu the other two. i Rogers helped the Hams” do It with a brace of double-centuries. The Canitol Specials got a 900 total when they got started, but why start when all is lost : the Hoosier Coffee outfit cleaned them in the first two rounds. The Ferndales were groggy in the first r ,'e iiiif back strong in the second and third and made the Thornton Coffee outfit work hard to beat them. The usual scores were posted in the Sutherland loop.

The Greens had entirely too much stuff for the Mitchells and they won everything.

Crlppin, newly elected president of the board of school commissioners, urged that body to recommend that the sport he restored. Some time ago it was believed that the powers that be were ready to vote the game back, but delay was met because it seemed that nb one in authority cared to make Ut recommendation, but now that President Crlppin officially has urged that action be taken it Is almost a certainty that Indianapolis will see the young high school warriors out in grid togs next fall. A committee of principals of the three high schools has bad the matter under consideration for a number of weeks and It is said the report these mefi are ready to make is favorable toward the resump - tion of the sport. President Crlppin declared last night that there has been an urgent request for the re-establishment, of football on the part of students, citizens and alumni j organizations. Within the last two years he said, physical training in the army camps has shown the value of football 4 and other vigorous sports when carried • on under proper conditions. In view of the fact that the present athletic relations betweeu the three high schools of Indianapolis are characterized by a splendid spirit. Mr. Crlppin urged that the board con-dder the matter. There fore It Is expected the grid ban will be lifted at the next meeting of tho commissioners. Football was abolished as a sanctioned sport In the Indianapolis -rig*. schools !>y the board of school commissioner* In 1907. This action was taken aftei* a game between Sbortrldge and Manum at Washington , park on Thanksgiving day which ended In a clash between followers of the two schools. Tt has always been maintained by students ol* the two schools that the mixup was started and mainly engaged in by outsiders. The ban was put upon all competition between the schools except state i meets and tournaments. The entry of Teeh into the ranks of Indianapolis high schools and its rapid , advance In athletic strength has broken jup the old Sbortridge-Manual cornpe- ! tltion and made tt a three-cornered affair. Under these conditions the rivalry ! has been extended until only the most sportsmanlike attitude has prevailed in state tournaments when the schools met , In other athletics. The abolition of football here has been one of the reasons advanced for the poor showings by Indiana colleges in the Big Ten. Coaches have been compelled to snape green material and teach the rudiments of the game to those proteges who were former , Indianapolis high school men.
