South Side Turners, 21; Boys’ Club, 13. With the semi-finals of the Indianapolis district of the 150-point basketball championship tournament on at the Marion club this afternoon, local net fans were looking forward to pleYity of action previous to the big title game at the same place tonight. If the three remaining battles prove as hot as those staged list night in the first round of play, the fans will have to admit that the amateur basket-tossers of this city are capable of putting on first-class stuff. The first semi-final round game was to be called this afternoon at 2:35. The T’nir-O-Pieo and .Toy and Glooms, both undefeated fives, were carded for combat in this attraction. It was to be the latter dub's first appearance In the tourney. <as it drew a bye in the first round, while the "nice'" won tile right to meet them by trouncing the T.auter quintet last, night. The big show was expected to couio ■ tfi when the South Side Turners and "Y” Leaders clashed at. 3 o'clock today. ( apt. Rice of the Turners Is confined to his bed with an attack of Influenza, but Geot filled every inch of bis boots in last night's game with the Boys’ duo and the fighting south siders were determined to help their leader hack on the road to recovery by stacking the Leaders up in the corner. Trouncing the “Y” outfit will be no child’s play. This team played a wonderful game to defeat the Debonairs In <<heir first-round game last night, and after the battle was over they passed the word nloug that they saved a little extra stuff to use in their semi-final round encounter. The Leaders can go fast from whistle to whistle and their offensive machine is one that will tax the strength of any pair of guards In the state. DICE BOYS NOT PISHED. Nothing can be told of the strength of the Pair-O-Dice team from their game with the Lanter club last night. They defeated the west side athletes, 31 to 16. without being forced to produce any of the speed they are said to put out in’ the pinches. "Ited" Underwood was the big cog in the winning machine, playing a great game on ttie defense and scoring six goals from the field. Tomlinson also went good for ttie winners, while “Dutch" YYolf packed all the class of the Lauter five. she Debonairs and Leaders were on their toes ail the way through their scrap, which turned out to be much idoser than predicted. In the first half the "Debs’’ didn't seetn to get together until Coach Squires sent a few substitutes into the lineup, but this was just one minute before the half ended with the Leaders in front, tt to 2. In the second half tlm Green and White warriors Tightened up and were slowly gaining on their opponents when the final whistle sounded with the score 11 to S against t hem.

TURNERS WIN WITH RICK OCT. The Turners deserve plenty of credit for their victory over the Boys’ club. They took the floor Inst night with t'apt. Kite otYt of tho lineup but they plnyed their opponents off (heir feet and their passing and team work caused quite a bit, of talk Hioonk' those present. Johnny Hennessey took Hire's place at the long distance shot station and caged tour field goals. Grund teamed with the former Shortridge star and counted front the floor three times. The other three members of the squad deserve much credit for their wonderful guarding. .Toe and .Mike Rosenthal were . the shining lights of the losing team and .Toe would probably have made more than three baskets had be been playing opposite anybody but Seerest. Seldensticker kept Mike away from the basket. The amateur fans of the city showed Wayne Emmeliuan, manager of the tournament. their appreciation for his efforts to put Indianapolis up In the front ranks of the sporting world by packing the Marion club gymnasium from the ground up last night, and after ■witnessing such a great show they were expectced to come back tbL afternoon and tonight and bring their friends along. The tournament has all the earmarks of being the biggest and most successful independent amateur event ever put on in Hoosierdom, and if it ■works out without a hitch Emmeltnan plans to make it an annual affair. SILVER TROPHY IOR WINNER. The winners of the local district play will be awarded a silver trophy with the name of each man on the team inscribed thereon, donated by the Em-Roe Sporting Goods Company.

Friday Night—Broad Ripple vs. Greensburg, at Greensburg; Shortridge vs. Tipton, at Tipton. Saturday Night—Technical vs. Lebanon, at tlie local "V”; Manual vs. Martinsville, at Martinsville. . The Broad Ripple quintet will certainly have an airtight alibi If it loses to Greensburg tomorrow night. Coach Dicus will not be able to accompany his proteges. as he Is confined to his home seriously ill. Ronald Garrett, mainstay at the center job. will also be among the absentees, he being under a physician's care as a result of injuries suffered in recent games. “Reddo” Morris, forward, 1s out with the flu. and Osborne has Injured his "busted’’ thumb again. Outside of that. etc. However, what is left of the squad will make the trip, and we're not saying they won’t bring home the bacon. Shortridge is facing Tipton, at Tipton, Friday, still minus Stevens and Vorhes, and it will be a pretty hard task for the north aiders to equal Tech’s 30-to-2 win over Tipton. The Tech-Lebanon game Saturday night will tie of intorest to local fan's because of the recent Shortridge-Lebanon contest played on tln> same floor, which will present an opportunity for comparison of scores. Tech has the slight advantage over Its local rival iu having occupied ringside seats at the former game. We’ll inform the universe that Manual has a tough one In Martinsville, but that fighting, never-say-die south side five is just about due for a change of luck and may fool the w-ise ones. IVHY LIZTON LOSES. Last Saturday night Mooresville defeated Lizton, 21 to 20. That Shortridge recently whaled Mooresville, 32 to 24, would be cause for a display of chest.iness on the part of the Blue and White were it not for the fact that the Llzton team which has been getting trimmed regularly of late is not the same quintet that ran up twenty-two straight wins. The cream of (he Llzton squad retired from the game at the beginning of the new semester, having completed their limit in high school athletics, under the rules of the I. H, S, A. A. MANUAL WALLOPED. TIPTON, Ind., Feb. s.—Tipton High school had little difficulty in defeating the Manual High school basket team of Indianapolis here Wednesday, 44 to 5. The local quintet was weakened by the loss of Muston, star forward, but the great playing of McCarthy at a forward station aided the offense of the locals considerable. McCarthy scored ten field goals. Liebold counted seven field markers for the Tipton quintet. Manual did not use all its regular players.

Rickey contended that Hornsby be longed with the Cards that they would be foolish to let such a man go. Bit other baseball men do not agree with Rickey. .Some of the bst heads In the game declare they would let Hornsby go If they could get several good players In exchange for him. The Yankees got Ruth and the Giants have to do something to make themselves solid with the fans of New York. Horns by Is the man they want. Ruth is without doubt the greatest drawing card In the game today He will draw more fan* through the turnstiles than Ty Cobb or Walter Johnson ever attracted. But Hornsby isu't such a flnshy player despite the fact he is n wonderful fielding star ami a corking good hitter.

Although the Indianapolis, ball players are not going (o Ft. Petersburg. Fla., to swim and fish they expect to find time to do both in addition to working out on the hall diamond. And they’ll do It if thej- have to swim and fish by moonlight, ’cause swimming is good there ami fishing, oh joy, the tish are always willing to play tag. And then there Is the great sport of beach tag, with lots of F maidens and. though little Is known about beach tag in Indianapolis, it must I>o great sport. The accompanying pictures give an Idea of vvbat’s what in and around the “sunshine city,” as st. Petersburg likes to be called. Above is displayed a water polo group and as this game is easily learned and provides good exercise it probably wili lie ail right to add a little water polo to the Tribe's spring training routine. The fishermen among the Indian party can go and catch their fish but whether to fish or play water polo is bound to provide a problem for some. At any raio St. Petersburg is making nil kinds of preparations to entertain the Hoosier players when they pul! in there In March and, though Manager Hendricks nil! siy to it that not a minute's baseball is neglected, the chances look promising for lots of pleasure during the lew hours the players arc not at the bail park or in bed.

Wheu asked if he thought the abolition of the “shiner” next sea on would destroy the effectiveness i>; Eller the Red's scout described tlie shine ball as camouflaged imagination. * -‘Whv. | could have asked nothing better la<t year than to have been a pitcher with a fast curve Once let me fool n batter with It. give him time to get book to the bench and tell h's sad news to the rest of the team and you would see me out there the pext minute shin, lug that ball like an agitated bootblack. “That's nil there is to the play.

Sylvester (Independents) 321 Maybe you think this Fox boy of the Knights of Columbus loon didn't make the clubs put up their dtiaes last night. In the first, place he leathered them ior a 254 count, the highest one-game score produced, then went for 251 and 168, get ting the nifty total of 673. F'oxie heaved his mincralitc in favor of the Columbians and that crew didn’t have to work to take three games from the Christaphores. Ed Quinn is still going in tournament style, but tbe rest of the Christaphores don’t seem to tie able to get that way. While the Genoa* were rejoicing over the return of Johnnie Yott, the Ferdinands slipped through for a brace of victories. Farrell and Mentzer were out of line until they hit the third pole. Mike Kelley was happy today His Salvadores took three straight from the Marquettes and Michael himself helped things along with a 221. (faring got a 236 in the third round and the "Sallies" hung up a 908 /total, breaking their world's record. The Calumets kept fooling around and the first thing they knew it was time for them to sing tlie “Blues." The Niuas walloped ’em in the first two rounds. Sheridan had about as much luck getting wood as a housewife has getting enough sugar to keep the family going. , Kirkhoff No. I took a whirl in the lastj game for the Ninas and came near getting a hundred. It is all right for "Doc." "Dump" and “Fat” to get below the 150 line, but when "Tatts" goes down to 91 it. is time for him to pull himself together, nr out. The Pintos threw potato peelings on the name of their valiant leader, Alley 1 Canning, by dropping two to the Santa Marias. ’Twos a cloudless battle, that which the LaSalle* and the Isabellas fought, but Just the same the Issics were croppies when they came out of it. Short and stocky Johnny Klingm'.n drew a few bows and a lot more cuss ; words from the Elk warriors when he thumped out a 232 coun in his final game. That was the best in the loop. (’obler and Myer end a half dozen other* got double centuries for the Antlers and they triumphed over the Tails. Miller and Nelson hit for 200 for the Tails, hut they didn’t have anything to precede or follow with. However, they gave the switch abouts a second game win. The Eyes dropped to a tie for second place when the Kars pulled ’em into camp for three wins. The Teeth went up to an even footing with the Eyes by winning two from the Hides. Feachey was the nnlv Hoof that looked like himself and they were easy victims for the’ Shin Bones. Kourbier stepped lu behind Johnny Klingman when he crashed out a 221 count. Sylvester’s 224 was the best one-game score posted In Beam’s No. 3 loop. He got it In the second round and started the Independents on the road to o double victory over the American Railway Express. The Daniels didn’t get all the pins in this world, but why should they when tho World War Vets got so many the score keeper fell asleep waiting for something to do? Yes, the Daniels took the series. Imagine Tallman and that 111 he got In the first round: The Easterns are sorry they gave the Iloosler Oils such n terrible walloping, and they are determined to try and lose one the next time they meet with this combination.

New President of the Milwaukee Team Got Start as Peanut Boy MILWAUKEE, Feb.

During a noonday luncheon at the Milwaukee Athletic club for sport scribes, following the sale of tlie club, Borchert revealed for the first time that, his only previous connection with the national pastime w-u ns a peanut boy of the old Eighteenth street grounds in Milwaukee. “Iu those days the stars wore mustaches,” recalled ' the new president of the Milwaukee dub. Though his only previous "connection” with a hall dub was ns a peanut bc.v. Borchert said no always had followed the game and he was known as an enthusiastic fan In hir. home town. As he grew up he identified himself with the fight game and became well known ns a promoter of boxing matches. Now be will entt that only a side line and devote his main energies to putting Milwaukee back on the baseball map.
