BETTER SEATS FOR FANS AT BASKET MEET indoor Bleachers Being Built at Tomlinson Hall for Sectional Games. ROOTERS GETTING READY When “Hank” Stevens cocks one in the dug from the middle of the floor, daughter pulls one of his rapid Are shots •r Harmeson gives Manual the lead over Tech with a pretty one-hatided shot in the local sectional of the state high school basketball tournament this week-end. wild and frenzie! fans are not going to dash out on to the floor and throw hats end caps in the air or Jump up and down on their scats. They are just going to “sit tight” and make plenty of noise iu whatever way they can without moving their limbs. If they don’t they are going to take a tumble that will make them look like the rag doll that tumbles off the cliff In moving pictures every day. Why so? Well, here's the dope. Fred Gorman, athletic manager of Technical High school has been appointed chairman of the sectional committee and he is going to “modernize” Tomlinson ball for the event Friday and faturda.v. Bleachers will lie installed on the first floor and the farther hack they go the higher they get. therefore everybody is going to have every opportunity to see the play and everybody is going to have to hold his seat or he will take a tumble FAN'S FORMERLY RI SHBD OX FIOOR. In former years when the regular chairs were used to seat the crowds about 56 per cent of the first floor spectators would manage to get seated tn the front row, on the pretense of getting a full view and then make a wild dash for the floor when brilliant plays were pulled. This year full views will be bandy for everybody. Hence, the tournament 1* going to be one of the beat conducted and most successful in the history of the 1. H S. A. A. The inuocent pedestrians who wander too close to any of the three local high S'hools these days often h.is to dodge behind a handy telephone pole to keep from getting slammed on the noodle with a gob of stray dope. Everybody, from the oldest and most sedate “skinner” down to the youngest and friskiest little duffer In Manual, Sbortridge and Teeh nieal are telling how the victory must be put over and how his or her school is going to do it. The coaches are sprouting gray hairs over the toil of hard work and the players are so eager to get started they don't know whether they are standing on their heads or sitting on their feet. The local players are not worrying about out-of-town teams but the older and wiser eoaebes are giving these our fits a great deal of attention. Some of the teams assigned to this section. Valley Mills, Broad Ripple and Southport, especially, are In a position to give the Indianapolis representatives a stiff jolt and there is a chance of them do ing so. MANTAL MAY SPRING VPSET. There will be great doings on the first day when Manual and Technical meet for the first time In history. The rivalry between these quintets is exceptionally strong and the fellows who say tbey wlll not put on a sure enough Jam are cracked in the attic.” There are several reasons why Tech should win over Man uai. but there is a strong belief in the minds of many local fans that the fighting youngsters from tbe south side are going to give the east side huskies a walloping. If Manual trims Tech and wins the sectional, or even goes to the late rounds. Coach Morrison will have to be listed with the men who know hahv to get blood out of a turnip. Shortrldge meets Southport In Us first round game Friday afternoon. With “Giggs” Adkins, a former local boy, the main cog In their scoring machine, the Southport athletes look mighty good and Stevens, the idol of Shortrldge, will be called upon for lots of extra work to bring bis team a victory.

Tennis Officials in Qundary Over Plans for Title Matches NEW YORK, March 2.—Refusal of the Belgian Olympic committee to move up the tennis dates from Aug. 15 may prevent America's participation not only In the Olympic games, but In the Biritsh national championships at Wimbledon. Following a cable from the Belgians that the tennis dates could not be changed because the courts would not be . rady In July, the United States Lawn Tennis association doubted the possibility f sending a team to Wimbledon for the British matches alone. No plans can be made until the drawings have been made for the Davis cup preliminaries. WHAT THEY SAY RAY SCHALK. The midget catcher of the Chicago White Sox says he believes Tv Cobb Is the closest student of the game now playing the diamond pastime. He also •admits that the Georgia Peach is the smartest and greatest player of today. You don’t know when he's going to run. He’ll take a mighty big lead ou you, but yon can’t pick him off. Pitchers have tried to get him, also catchers. Cobb hits singles, doubles, triples and home runs: he steals, he bunts, he throws and he makes great eatehes. When you can get 248 hits, as Ty did in 1911, score 147 runs, average, .420 and steal eightythree bases—well, Ty leads the parade, that’s all! SERGT. RAY SMITH. Scotty Montletb, manager of Sergt. Ray Bmith, believes that his boxer Is going to continue to be the goods so far as the heavyweights are concerned. He thinks that since neither Von Hlndenbnrg nor Bob Martin could put him away, that nobody can. One thing about Smith. He was hit by a little bit of everything on the western front. He has a shrapnel wound In his side, a machine gun bullet in his shoulder, a grenade wound in bis hand and a bayonet cut In his thigh. Yes. sir, the Germans hit him with everything they had. They hit him seven times In all. and they did not even rattle him. How is any mere boxer going to stop him. when all Von Hlndenburg's men could not put him away! APPEAL TO ANGLERS.

Champ Hoppe Scores 500 Points in Ten Innings at Cooler’s Cue King Amazes Fans in Exhibition With Peterson — Final Play Tonight. Willie Hoppe got away to a brilliant start on tbe first of his two days of exhibitions here, when he registered his 500 points Id ten inings for an average of 50. All this took iplaee In bis two games against Charles C. Peterson of St. Louts, at Cooler’s Occidental billiard parlors yesterday. Hoppe topped his wonderful work by winning the evening game, 250 to 56. going out with an unfinished run of 193. In the afternoon Hoppe won, 250 to 75. winning with an unfinished effort of 86. Each game required only five innings. TToppe’s work in both games was all that could be expected of a champion of the Hoppe standard. All shots looked alike and he made the hard ones look just as easy as an ordinary carom. In registering his 500 points he had runs of 193, two of 86. and a 58, and another of 44. He had only two scoreless inntngß. both coming in the evening engagement. and the fans were amazed at his steady performance. Following both guinea Peterson entertained with his elaborate exhibition of fancy shots. This master of trick shots ■unde the ivories do the “hesitation.’ "shimmy” and the "serpentine glide. His motto i 'Show me a shot i can't make.” and he more than convlueed fans that his motto bad nothing on him. Hoppe and Peterson complete their engagement here with exhibitions at 2:30 this afternoon and 8 o’clock tonight.

Pete Herman. Johnny Kllbarie Benny Leonard, Jack Britton and Mike O'Dowd show ! the greatest aversion to making weight for any challengers. Kllbane and Leonard not only demand the right to weigh i as milch ns they please, but dictate the i weight of their' opponents. Lew Tendler has heen yelping about la>onard for about a year and it must be admitted (hat in most of his recent fights the lightweight champion has looked as rugged and big as a middteI weight. Johnny Dundee may bring the controversy to a showdown if he persists In claiming the championship for I himself on the grounds that Leonard can not make the weight. Britton and O'Dowd have not been complained against as much as the lighter boys because their divisions are practically barred of contenders but they don't relish (he Ides of stepping on scales In j public. All of this emphasizes the fact j that America is In need of boxing super- : vision. America ha* two chance* to accomplish j this One opportunity 1* by recognizing the army, navy and civilian board of boxing control, a federal boxing board j or any other organization composed of | able men. The other hope lies In affiliation with the International Boxing union, which has a recognized scale of weights and the authority to forre It upon fighter* In Europe.
