Gengler vs. Smith in Title Match CHICAGO, March 3.—Count John Gengier of Chicago and Jimmy Smith of Milwaukee, after wrangling all winter, have finally signed articles for a home and home match for the world’s howling championship. They <vit! ro'l a sixty-six game series, ten I am* a night for six consecutive u.gats, with total pins counting. The series will start Sunday, March 21, at the Randolph alleys. The second block will be rolled at the riankinton alley In Milwaukee the following afternoon. The match will alternate between the cities until finished. LEAGUE LEADERS LAST MGT. Capitol No. 2 league, Walters (Hamiltons) 233 Ileam's No. 2 league, Moxley (Prudential Life) "32 The Hamilton shooters of the Capitol No. 2 loop had a good chance to follow Walters’ pace and win three from the Tnorntown Coffee Shop, but they wc-re •low to get the drift and finished the night In disgrace. Walters got the best results In the second game, which sent him up to 233. Miller connected for 201 In the first game and 10S in the third. His second was fair. The Ferndales swamped the Stegemeteres with three whopper totals. Ha-k erd, Bernhart and Huey had all the luck; they could ask for. Old mau "Can’t See” gets as many as Strltt did In his second game. Three 900 totals gave the Feeney Furnitures a win over the Capitol Specials each and every time. Campbell gave the Feeneys a 232 boost at the last minute. Patterson helped 'em all the time. The Heller Coal heavers made a Mg hit la the second round, but the New Style Lagers had It on them in the other two. The Faust kid got his little 200 score. A pair of classy totals gave the Lucky Strikes two victories over the Krause Bros. The losers had the most stuff in the third round. TECH STARS ON ALL-CITY TEAM (Continued From Page Nine.) in the sectional. Because of his speed and floor work, coupled with his eye for the basket from any angle of the floor, this seems to be his natural position. Griggs was named on the sll-seetionnl team last year and is one of the best offensive players who ever attended an Indianapolis high school. He has another year at Tech nr.d should write his name high on the wall of Indiana basketball before his graduation. Although he has been on the bench about six weeks this year as a result or an injury received shortly before the Christmas holidays, his playing recently shows that be has lost non* of his ability. The selecting of Harmeson for the floor guard Job probably will create a number of disputes, but Harmeson stands out. ns the most consistent man on the Manual team and possesses a wonderful ey for the basket. He knows basketball from every angle and in every game that Manual participated in this year he ac quitted himself with credit, allhough on some occasions he Jacked support from his teammates. Black of Tech, although n floor guard ! n every sense of the word, is' given Hie back guard job because if his wonderful all-round playing throughout the season. Black is up to his neck in tin* game every minute and is one of the best guards seen on a local floor in some time. His aggressiveness Is hi. big asset, and coupled with thi he haan excellent basket eye and also plays a great defensive game. Tn very f-r, games since the middle of the sase has Black failed to get at least a rouplof baskets, and in many instances ho was high point man of the contest. Whereever the hall is Black is certain to be found and a stalling gatpe is ah solutely impossible when this man is ooneerned. He is husky in < very respe.f hut at the sam“ time is fast and elusive and his supply of cork is apparentl” Inexhaustible. Although the above nnmeu qualities are not usually thought of in connection with a back guard. Black Is too good a man to be left eff any sillily team that could be picked, and in a mythical selection of this kind he can easily be shifted to the back guard position, although having played at floor guard all year. Black came to the east side school'from the navy, and although lie had not had a basketball in his hands for two years it did not take him long to get down to bis old-time form, and he has ben gz'hering momentum as the season Ja progressed. S. H. S. FORWARDS OX SECOND CHOKE. For the second teum Micbenor nnn Caldwell, both Shortridge men, are given the forward jobs, without much argument. Although the work of these athletes has been nothing sensational throughout, the season, they have both played a consistent game all year, and nave proved consistent pointgetters, although pushed Sard by VanArsdale and Nipper of Tech, and Strain of Manual, the two Shortridge boys are given the edge because of their ability as basket shooters. Tn giving Drayer of Tech second choice on the center Job it was necessary to flip a coin to decide "between the east side giant and Buschell of Manual. Although Drayer and Buschell have both failed to uncover anything wonderful this year. Drayer Is given the edge over Buschell for two reasons. In the first plsce as an under-the-basket-shot he holds a big advantage over his Manual rival, and in the second place he plays a more consistent gay-.e. Although Buschel has played some mighty good games this year he has the inclination to fail down at the critical moment and this is a big mars against him. Both of these men are woefully weak on long distance shots. Wertz of Manual 1s the logical choice for the floor guard position, although Escol of Shortridge runs him a hard t-ace. The long distance shots of Wertz have featured Manual’s play all year and he has gained the reputation of being one of the best long range shots in the city,* Wertz is full of fight and on many occasions be has turned the tide when 'a Manual defeat seemed inevitable. He is a veteran of last year’s crack aggregation and knows the game [from all ingles. He will bear watching in tho sectional tournament. Hawkins is the unanimous selection for the second choice back guard Job. He has all the makings of a great back guard, being ideally built, a quick thinker and possessing lots of cork. His one drawback is that he does not possess the speed essential to a good back guard. A small and elusive forward is Hawkins’s great trouble, but very few under-the-basket shots have been made against the cast side giant. If the nil-city first team was chosen on the basis of starsln their positions only, Havrkins would he the first back guard selected. Tennis Ranking Change NEW YORK, March 3.—Richard Norris Williams 11, national tennis champion in 1914 and 1916, has been moved into fifth place among the “first ten” by the ranking committee of the United States Lawn Tennia association. Wallace F. Johnson, Philadelphia, is dropped back into sixth place by the new decision. The change w-as made, it. was explained, because the committee failed to consider the Intercity matches for the Church cup In which 8. Howard Voshell best Johnson International Opening NEW YORK, March 3.—The 1920 schedule of the new International league, made public today, provides for 154 games with the season opening April 21. Opening games will he played as follows: Akron at Jersey City, Rochester at -Syracuse, Bnffalo at Baltimore and Toronto it Reading,
- There were a few big counts blasted out in the Prudential Llfe-Brunswick Phonograph match in Beam’s No. 2 circuit. i Moxley got a 232, the big score of the match, for the Prudentials, and Schott contributed another nice one. but Nordholdt and Hebhle backed them off the boards with 222 and 231 efforts and the Brunswick® came out on top in the “rub.” The Baldwin Manualos had just enough stuff to take three wins out of the hands of the Aetna Trusts. Broucher put the Baldwins in line for a second game triumph with his 202. Figg and Axline were the starlights-f the Trust five, but they didn’t do as be3t they might. t The Highway Vulcanizers are getting a i "rep.” Last night they gave the Iloosler Oils a lint on the beak that cost them two defeats. Hamilton is still doing the big work for the Highways. He led them with 217 last evening. Beam tried hard for the Hoosiers, but the boys didn’t know it until he told them so. Swain's 229 and other good counts by Speicker and Hlnchman made it impossible for the M. O'Connors to win in their match with the Krels Transfers. There are Roses and Harts and every liP thing in the M. O’Connor lineup. Rose is good for 101 any day in the week. Mr. Hart can hit for 116 without batting an eye..Kaiser was rewarded with 200 pins in the first game, but he lost his luck after that. There wasn't a double century posted in the Irvin Uobbins-Brookside match, but the Brooksides had enough wood for admission into the three straight win ranks.

Hendricks Confers With / Red Manager Regarding Player Due the Indians ' Jack Hendricks departed for Cincinnati today, where h will confer with Manager Pat Moran of the Reda regarding the player due the Indians in the Crane deal. The Tribe has received one player, Barney Schreiber, and cash, but. according to the agreement made with the Cinclnn&ti club, when Crane was turned over to the world’s champs, Indianapolis still has one more athlete coming. It is highly probable that Shortstop Jimmy Smith will bo the athlete turned over to the Indians and Hendricks may bring back the good word to this effect late in the week. The Reds are due to hit the trail for Miami Friday aud if Moran has any surplus talent present when the Cincy athletes gather Hendricks will toss out the Tribe hooks. At any rate Jack wants Smith and all along Moran has promised to deliver the scrappy player, so the local fans need not bo surprised If Smith Is obtained. With the Tribe squad scheduled to hike for the St. Petersburg training camp next Wednesday Manager Hendricks hopes to work fast on his roster the few remaining days, and a deal for anew pitcher may develop. Catcher Jack Leary will be back, due to his failure to land a managerial berth, tit', the presence of Leary’s hefty bat will aid the Indian offense. The. Tribe officials practically have given up on Yerkes and Bronkie, due to the veterans' persistent determination to retire from everyday ball, and if Hendricks is able to get Smith the fans will have reason for elation. As the outfield stands now Callahan, Zwllllng and Rehg will be the regulars at the start of the season from all indications. However, Hendricks does not move fast in making deal*, because he doesn’t believe in grabbing without investigating, and he has time yet to spring a number of deals. McGrew to Umpire in Red Sox-Pirate Series Umpire Ted McGrew departed for Hot Springs, Ark., last night, where he will get in shape for duty lu the Pacific Coast league by officiating in spring exhibition games between tile Boston Red Sox and the Pittsburg Pirates. McGrew is going to the coast strongly recommended and no doubt will prove one of the chief arbiters of that league, fie has had yenrs of experience In baseball, as player, manager and umpire. Ted was the host last night for his own going away party and he carried enough wishes for success from his friends to boost him into the major leagues in short order. EI'REKAS AFTER GAMES.

e" | ‘Jokers’ Begin Showing in Olympic Rules, but Yanks Stay Determined | NEW YORK. March 3.—New scoring regulations will prevail at the Olympic games in Belgium next summer. The first six in each event are to be awarded 1 points on the basis of seven for first place, five for second, four for third, three, for fourth, two for fifth and one for sixth. With prospects of Americans standing in the first six places lu numerous events, enough points seemed to be in the making to "cover” the team in unrepresented events and In some In which the boys of Uncle Sam might not be so proficient. But a-“ Joker” was burled in a paragraph near the end. in the track and field events in swimming, tennis, boxing and wrestling—events in which Americans

nearly always prove superior—chances of an American cleanup nre circumvented by the regulations limiting the entries to a maximum of four. Os course, the Belgian committee is within its rights in deciding that way if It wants to. The rules of the International Athletic Federation and the regulations laid down by the Olympic congress in Paris in 1914 are explicit In providing only four starters in the track and field games. But the same conscientious desire to follow the letter of the law might haye been carried out in all departments of the games. The Belgians also declare that on account of the war no team championship will be awarded and no nation can claim tbe world’s championship. All winners are to be regarded us individual winners and their points will not contribute to a national championship. That may be a good Intention, but official or unofficial, there will be a teun champion, or claims of a team championship, and America could well use points that will be added to the total of other nations.
