Broad Ripple was matched with Cumberland and Castleton was to stack up against Southport In the semi-final battles this afternoon. Southport, which drew a bye in th lournament. schedule drawings, reached the semi-finals by virtue of its victory over Valley Mills last night. Its only game preceding the semi-finals. Castleton also wag lucky in this respect and was forced to mix in only one contest !hffore the semi-finals this afternoon. On the other hand Broad Ripple and Cumberland each battled twice tn order to fight for the right of reaching the title contest tonight. ritple Bins MADE FAVORITES. According to the majority of dopesters at the morning game today Broad Ripple was made the favorite to annex the championship although th Southport lads had their spirits up today and wore predicting that they would cop the laurels at the windup. Castleton and Southport were to go to grips at 2 o’clock this afternoon and then Broad Ripple and Cumberland were to meet. Cumberland eliminated Oaklandon this morning and Broad Ripple put the Ben Davis boys out of the running. Homer Stonebraker, former Wingate and’ Wabash college basket celebrity, refereed both the morning games and kept the contests speeded up. the usual big crowd was present and every team was given great support by Its respective followers. DAVIS GIVES RIPPLE BATTLE. In this morning's games Broad Ripple defeated Ben Davis, 17 to 10. and Cudd berland scored a 22-to-16 win over Oak- ! landon. The Ben Davis lads have been stepping fast all season, and when the fans saw them perform yesterday, when they scored an easy win over Lawrence, they checked them to give Broad Ripple 8 hard tussle, and they did. The first half of the contest was bitterly contested. 1 and the two teams seemed as evenly matched as any quintets in the tourney. Standlford and Frieund again carried the burden of the Ben Davis load and made th* Broad Ripple forwards keep awake to hold them on the bottom side of the count. The count in the first period was evan, both teams having 6 points until a few seconds before time was up, when Morris, Broad Ripple forward, caged a field goal and gave his team a 2-point lead. „ _ In the second half the Ben Davis men failed to show their old speed, and they let Garrett, Broad Ripple center, get away for three field goals Robertson also counted from the floor in this period and Morris caged one free throw. Standi ford scored Ben Davis’ only field goal in this period and Martin counted twice from the foul line. CUMBERLAND IN FAST FINISH. The Cumberland-Oaklandon fray was easily the feature of the morning program. Until the final moments of play, these two teams were never more than 4 points apart and the lead switched back and forth several times. With five rutnntes to go In the last period. Hilkene scored from the center of the floor for Cumberland and broke a 14-to-14 tie | Witte followed soon with another field goal. The Oaklandon coach sent E. Peter* and Kneer Into the game at this point In an effort, to stop the advance, but it was too late. Witte and Hilkene each scored 6 points for the winners In the second half. Kneer put some pep In the Oaklandon team when he pulled two brilliant shots from difficult angles, but by this time the Cumberland crew had gained an 8-point lead and they had little trouble keping in front. Those who witnessed the game believe that the count would hßve been In Oaklandon’s favor j if Kneer had been used in the first part of the scrap. • • • • VAELEY MIT<I4I MEETS DEFEAT. The fighting youngsters from Valley Mills went down to defeat In the opening second round game of the tournament (an night before the older and more aggressive Southport combination. The score ■was: Southport, 20; Valley Mills, 15. When the Valley fads triumphed over the West Newton huskies In the opening game of the tournament yesterday morning they gained a host of admirers. They were the smallest and youngest entrants In the big meet and the fans that packed the gym were anxious to see them trim the Southport athletes and stick for the finals. Defeating the West Newton squad must have been a Utttle harder work than it teemed for the Valleyites, because they tired easily last night and their defensive work was not to be compared witlh that of the morning contest. Rtnart scored the only points the Valley Mills team made In the first half when he caged a field goal. Southport finished ♦bla period with nine points. Tn the aecond period they picked up a little more speed and scored more points than their opponents, hut they could not overcome tne big handicap they were placed tinder In the opening half. TWO OVERTIME PERIODS PLATED. The gallery was treated to a bit of real basketball and the most exciting contest played In the tourney, to date, when the Oaklandon and Acton teams clashed yesterday afternoon. Both of these teams are composed of husky lads and they fought each other hard during the thirty minutes of play. In the first half the guarding machines of both schools worked without a hitch and half time arrived with them tied In a 6-to-C knot. The scrap was just as hot in the aecond period, and when the regular time waa up the score stood 14 to 14. An overtime period failed to change the count and Referee Miller called them back for another five minute*. During this time K. Peters threw a field goal for Oaklandon and Schlosser caged one for Acton. Bstetter, center, pulled the Oaklandon scrappers through for a victory with a foul goal n few seconds before i time was up.

DEMPSEY IS COLLEGE STAR J AN’ EVERYTHING IN MOVIES Here are two excellent reason's why Jack Dempsey likes motion picture work, and their names are Rosemary Thelby and Ruth Roland.

By DEAN SNYDER, Special Correspondent of The Times. LOS ANGELES. Jan. 31.—1s Jack Dempsey keeping fit to defend his title ns heavyweight king of the world while pastiming 'neath calcium lights of the movie studio? I came here for a closeup of the champ as he appears out at Hollywood, Cal., where the Dempsey serial Is being filmed. Hts efforts to keep in fighting trim appear genuine. Primarily, .Tack Dempsey la acting now—not fighting. He boxes some every day—except when screen work prevents. But be does roadwork as regularly as the sun slips up from behind the California foothills. “I ain't a goln’ to take any chances on bein’ out of condition so 1 couldn’t defend my title anytime Doc Kearns says the word.” Jack confided. Bill Tate and two other boxers are tn the Dempsey-Kearns household. They serve as valets, chauffeurs, et cetera, besides acting as sparring partners. RUNS TO “WORK'’ EVERY MORNING.

C. A. against Lebanon, it will be crippled by tne absence from the lineup of two regulars. Stevens is still on the side lineeh with a broken bone in his hand, and Vorhees, who is having a great deal of trouble about eligibility, will not don a suit, as bis case is not cleared up. Although many local dope sllngers declare that the Blue and White hasn’t a chance against the powerful Lebanon i quintet, they have obviously reckoned without the subs, who will fill in the two positions. Riley wili hold down the floor guard position and McLean will do duty as back guard. These two men hove been doing go#d utility work all season and are expected to give the visitors a surprise if they expect an eaay victory. Valpo Grid Card VALPARAISO.

All are lovers of the boxing game. Rill Tate administers the alcohol rub. When the champion ‘‘brisks’ into the stars dressing room at nine bells lie is fit for anything his director may have planned for the day’s work or play. The serial calls upon Dempsey to display his strength and power as a fighter. It isn’t all “soft” stuff by any means. He tossed one bird clear out of the pteture and thev had to do It over again. OH, YES, HE’S A FOOTBALL HERO. Cast in the role of a college athlete, he plays on all the teams In school and especially stars in football. “The only real scenes in the picture,” tars Jack, “are the ones where 1 have to beat up a lot of movie villains.” He actually does it, too, apparently with huge zest. A1 Kaufman lost two teeth and took a short, nap as his share in one episode. Dempsey goes to bed regularly at 11 p. tn. —sometimes earlier. He is up at 6:30 every morning. The old bromide—early to bed and early to rise and you'll never meet any prominent guys—doesn't apply to Dempsey. Jack weighs 201 pounds and is the picture of health. “Z want to be In the same condition when I fight again as 1 was when I beat joss Willard.” he said. MiciiScmool g r s||£Spoß!s TECH IN VICTORY.

After the first ten minutes the Butlerltei were never in the hunt, for It was then that. ♦he Greencastie team began to pile up its scores, which ended in a 38-to-10 total at the end of the contest. During the first half the Butler team succeeded in getting as many shots as the DePauw team, but inability to make them count was responsible for Butler getting only six points. Carlysle was the big point maker for the Tigers, pilling up six field goals during the fray. During the waning minutes or the final half, DePanw's second-string men were shoved into the contest. The guarding of Jones and Wood for the losers was good, although the DePauw men got through for several short shots.

Normal got away iu the lead against the Baptists, but the Normal guards failed to cover Ross, the star Franklin forward, and Ross tossed eleven field goals. It was not until the final minutes of play that the Franklin team really got a big lead on the Teachers. The Dentals expect the Teachers to try and stage a comeback at their expense tonight at the Athenaeum gym. Neither team has ever played on that floor and as a result there is no home floor advantage for the Tooth Pullers. Winters and Schinerex were the big point-makers for the Normal quintet last night, t hough Mallory, center, who plays a consistent game, came through with his usual field goal. Miller appeared at guard in place of Glenn for the Teachers against Franklin and McKinney played the other defensive position.

Stecher Hailed as Greatest Matman as Result of Title Go Joe’s Eudurance in Gaining Victory Over Caddock Amazes the Critics. TWO HOURS FOR FALL By JACK VEIOCK. International Now# Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—“ Joe Stecher is the greatest wrestler this country has ever produced. His match last night with Earl Caddock was the greatest I have ever seen. It was an honest match and the best man won.” Dr. B. F. Roller of Beattie, who a few years ago ranked as one of the leading grapplers In the game and was himself a contender for the title in three championship matches, paid the above tribute today to the Nebraska farmer boy who gained the world’s championship by throwing Earl Caddock of lowa In two hours five minutes and thirty seconds. ‘‘Stecher is greater than Frank Gotch,” continued Roller. “It will be a long time before this country will find any wre* tier who will be able to take Stecher's title away from him.” Although according Bteeher highest praise. Roller does not belittle Caddock. He asserts that Stecher’s twenty pound! In weight and his greater strength were the things that enabled him to gain victory over the agile C'addock. It was Ills famous body scissors hold, aided by a wrist lock, that brought Stecher the vicory. For the first hour of the match the men grappled/on even terms. Caddock, though leading in aggressiveness, was unable to clamp a fatal hold on his antagonist. The first hour Caddock seemed to tire, while Stecher showed amazing strength, and began to gain an advanCaddock had obtained good bold* on Sterbey twice In the final hour and the Nebraaka boy had coolly broken both of them. Caddock began to show signs of exhaustion. His final effort came Just before the match ended, when he sucneeded in breaking a bony scissors hold, which Stecher clamped upon him. A few minutes inter Stecher again obtained this hold, nod with the aid of a wrist lock rubbed the shoulders of the exhausted Caddock on the canvas The old-timer* at the ringside lsst night picked Stecher to win when the two aspirants for the championship stepped In the ring to the blare of bugles. A lot of painful ceremonies for the movie*—introduction of a flock of other wrestlers and celebrities, got tinder ( addock's hide. He picked at his fingers, ran his hands through hia hair, rubbed hit new shoes on the canvas, walked up and down along the ropes and frowned and mumbled- Stecher in the other corner stood unpertnrhed. His face waa cloaked In a set expression that never changed. He neither smiled nor frowned. Stecher was a very determined young man. He went about hit task with marked determination, seeming to measure every stroke like a woodsman hewing down a’ giant tree.

MIKE ERTLE, He sat upon the canvas floor As helpless as a child And gazed about the whirling ring And rubbed bis chin and smiled. “No wonder,” he remarked at last. “They call him Jimmy XVllde.” —Chicago Herald-Examiner. Jimmy Wilde, the British flyweight, has a beautiful baritone voice. You'd think he'd have a high falsetto. Jimmy is going to sing In a choir. Some of the boys he has faced lu the ring ('.crime they heard beautiful singing just before they were carried out. But that was the cuckoo birds striking ten bells. Harry Tuthill, retired trainer of the Detroit Tigers, is said to have been the champion waiter-baiter of baseball. Harry always saw to It that, his boys had plenty to eat, says the author of the story. It is the first time we ever heard of any one having to champion the cause of a ball player in the dining room. If .Tack Dempsey is tn stay in the movies they should cast him as the poor little match girl, who sits on the curb, while the paper snow fails on her. and cries: “How cold it is! Who will give me matches?” Matt Hinkel of Cleveland has quit promoting in his home town. Matt said 2,800 persons saw a recent fight and 900 of them came in on passes handed out by the boxing commission. The battlers were lightweights, but the house W3S paperweight. Attitude of mind and a ball player go together. It has kept Benny Kauff from hitting consistently in the National circuit. He goes to the plate with the same idea in his dome as Babe Ruth. MeGraw has advised Benny to shorten his swing, but. the “attitude of mind” stuff still makes him take the old-time cut. Deduct Roush, Groh, Reutber and Elier from the Cincy Nationals and then they don’t look so “red” to the other clubs in the circuit. They’re among the holdouts. Debonairs Speed Up and Defeat Lauters in Basket League Coach Squires’ Team Shows Fast Offensive and Wins, 56 to 27. Tho Debonairs defeated the Lauters. 56 to 27, on the Tauter floor last night in the sixth round of the city amateur basketball circuit. The routers are consid ered one of the strongest outfits entered In the Indianapolis sectional of the Indiana ,150-pound amateur tourney, and the fact that the Debs slaughtered them so easily makes it appear as though Coach Squires' quintet is going to be heard from in the late rounds of the big classic, which is to be staged on the Marlon club floor next Wednesday and Thursday. Jennings and Andrews, who have been working as guards for the Debonairs. were shifted to the forward stations in last night's contest and they performed In real style. The followers of the team believe that these men wll he relied upon to do most of the scoring for the Green and Whit* combination in the amateur meet.

Roger Peckinpaugh expects to score a lot of runs this season. Peck figures that if he bats second and Babe Ruth comes up fourth all he will hare to do is walk home while the boys on the outside of the park “shag” the ball the pitcher tossed at Babe. The hopes of the White Sox grow as news is flashed over the wire that most of the Cincinnati Reds are holding out. Babe Ruth will defray the expenses of the Yankee’s southern training trip and then some. The Ne\r York club is being besieged with requests from southern j towns for a glimpse at the Babe in an i exhibition game.

Big Season Looms Before Champion in Lightweight Circles Starting With Dundee, Leonard Will Get Plenty of Action. NEW CROP IS LIGHT By JACK VEIOCK. International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—Nineteen-twenty promises to be a mighty busy year for j Benny Leonard, dapper little boss of tho J lightweight division, if he chooses to make it so. Leonard is in demand everyhere, and while the present-day crop of lightweight challengers is not an imposing one by any means, there are plenty of boys boxing around 153 pouu.l* who arc eager to mingle with "Benneb.” Johnny Dundee has first call and Johnny will get another chance at the champion in the near future, when the late lamented twenty-round affair, cancmeied at New Haven, is pared to eight rounds and transferred to New Jersey. TENDLER SOON TO GET CHANCE. Leouard says Dundee is the best of his many rivals. But there are others. l.ew Tendler, the Philadelphia southpaw, will got his chance at Benny before many months have passed if lie wauts it. The Mitchell brothers, Richie and Pinkie: < hurley White, Joe Welling and W illie Jackson arc also nu the waiting list, and the promoters will have no trouble put* ting zip into the lightweight division, There’s another lad who has Just “ir* rived" at the point where he Is demanding recognition. His name ]# Eddie Fitzsimmons and he is a Dew York product. Eddie has been boxing more or less since 1914, but he never attracted * freat deal of attention until he got un er Danny Morgan's wing. Os late he has cut some figure, with Morgan hurl lng adjective# in salvos and tossing Ed die's hat into the front yards of all tne good lightweights from Leonard on down the line. “You'll hear more of Ffitzsimmons if we can coax these scarv 133-pounders into the ring with him,*’ ays Danny. “Trouble Is, they're all busy dodging him. They claim he is not a legitimate lightweight—that he can’t make 133. That is all wrong. The trouble 1* that Eddie hits too bard. He Isn’t playful, not even in a gymnasium. Ask Johnny Dundee. He knows.” Fitzsimmons' record as submitted by Dumb Daniel proves that he is read'v for the best boy# In his division. He h*s scored knockkouts and won from many good, tough boys over distance* varying from six to twelve rounds He has beaten such boys as Phil Blooan. Johnny Drummie. Oscar Gardner, Paul Doyle. Charlie White. Louie Bogash and Young Borre’, nnd h.-i* knocked victories over Ray Rivers. Snarer O'Brien. Harrv Carlson and Patsy Cline. If Fitz is what Danny claims he i# nnd he sure look# like a comer from this distance—he deserves his chance. The lightweight crop 1s none too brilliant, especially since Leonard stands out so prominently above all the rest, and the advent of a newcomer who ha* ihe earmarks of class is generally welcomed. Fistic managers throughout the country are combing the gyms for lightweight material. Billy Gibson has even gone so far as to put out a llDe for <i boy of promise who may step Into Leer ard's shoes some day when the time strives for hi# divorce from the titl*; Gibson has selected Joe Benjamin, sue Call fornia lightweight, as a prohflble successor to Leonard, and though Joe bn# a lot to learn, he is a boxeo-of no mean promise. In far-off Australia th*y believe that Llew Edwards, the Antipodean champion, is better than Leonard. George Bailllen, who visited this country, as -well as England and France, in search of bosere t* appear at the stadium in Sydney, saw Leonard nnd Soldier Bartfleld box at Philadelphia and went back home with the report that Edwards is by far the better of the two. Snowy Baker, writing in the Sydney Evening News, tells of Baillieu’s impressions as follows: “George Ba’.llieu. the stadium's representative. who returned to Sydney bv the Sonoma after his search for boxerA In America and England, saw Benny\ Leonard, the world’s lightweight champion, opposed to Sergt. Bartfleld In a ten-ronnd no-d<*eision bout Before the contest Mr. Baillieu had offered Leonard a big sum to visit Australia and meet Llew EJdwards in Sydney for the world's title. Up to that time he had never seen Leonard in action, but knew of him only through his record. SYDNEY LOSES BIG TITLE BOLT. “After naTing seen him opposed to Bartfleld he was more than ever convinced that Llew Edwards is at tbts mo ment the best lightweight boxer in the world. On this conviction he offered Leonard $50,000 for two flzhts in Sydnev. the first to be against Llew Edwards, the second against any man -whom he #e lected. but Leonard was not agreeable. He wa# keener on the ten-round no de eision bouts than risking his title ovr twenty, so Sydney was robbed of seeing wbat might have been one of the greatest lightweight events in - boxing bl# : tory.” Major Leagues Start Turning to Sandlots for the Future Greats Why not? There is younger and bet ter material on some of the sandlot teams than is to be found on a lot of the minor league clubs. And. too, there are a lot of other reasons why. The big league managers at last har. awakened the fart that a lot of goo*t baseball material is going to waste, or is being grabbed off by the middlemen o' baseball, the minor#', when it. might as wel! go directly into the makings of a big league team. Bnt the awakening was forced on to tuv majors, at that. Unable to get tb players needed through the draft and flr.ding prices for minor league star* pretty high, and material in many instances scarce, tb<*v had to turn to th* sandlots. And it is goinc to be a great thing for the major leaguers, too, even If they did adopt, the idea through com pulsion. Take the case of the Cleveland club, for instance Last year there was a young sandlotter named George Uhle. He south with the Spokes and came back looking good enough to carry around tb° circuit a few weeks. He pitched so well they kept him on the job all season He won many more games than he lost This spring Cleveland is taking three more sandlotters for a spring training. One of them. Gec-ge Cykowskf. is such a promising prospect that Branch Rieke.i, Cardinal manager, threatened to go before the national commission to air ■’> claim he is said to have on the amiteur'# services. The result in Cleveland i* added Interest in the Spoke*. The amateur* In Cleveland and their friends far outnum her the regular Spoke fans. That menu that the amateur faction will be mightily interested in the Spokes when one or more amateurs are in the fold. Why shouldn't all Cleveland boy*, wj) • are stars at the game, he on the ptyro'i of the Spokes? That would add loco! interest to the team. Suppose Cleveland had I’eekinnaugh and Dode Paakert, both Cleveland boys, in their lineup. And Rube Marquard. too, who formerly was a Clevelander. Connie Mack used to grab off a good hoy occasionally. Connie carried them along, nntil they were ready to break in. Stuffy Mclnnis 1# an example. Branch Rickey has a happy faaulty of developing major leaguer# frqm green college stars—George Stsler ana Heatheote. M*ybe the big league sconta might well employ their time looking over the Bgnd lot talent the coming summer It ha* been suggested to Lee Fobi. former Cleveland manager, that he accept an of fer to manege a big amateur team in CTevoland and in the meantime act seont for big league clubs about the sand lots, making recommendations on star* he thought bad the “makings." It 1# an Idea that is hound to grow, for smatenbaaeball haa been expanding rapidly and eotne real talent ha* been dsTelcfaul there-
