Writ Newton, 13: Valley Mills, 18. Ben Davis, 23: Hihori, 18. Technical. 20; Manual, 9. Cumberland, 63; Beech Grove, 2. EAST FOR CUMBERLAND. In the first aftertif.on tournament name fcorfnv the Cmuber'fvnd Itlrfa school quintet swamped the Beech Grove, 63 to 2. The losers did not set a single Held goal, thr lone two points being made fouls. The Cumberland lads displayed plenty of speed, though they met with little opposition and played just about as they pleased. Witte scored ten Held goals and Helkene nine. Jolly, the smallest player In the meet at Tomlinson hall, attracted considerable attention by hls flashy work in the opening half. Lsngenberg end Fergason, Cumberland regulars. did not enter the game until the fwnrd h.lf, but each registered four field goals. Broad Ripple and New .Vnausta met in the second clash of the afternoon. Technical triumphed over Manual in the big game of the morntug at the local sectional basketball tournament at Tomlinson hall today, 20 to 9. The east side squad got the jump at the start and was never headed. They played a higher grade of basketball throughout and had the game 14 to 2 at the end of the first half. Slaughter tossed in five field markers and Griggs three. B. Hannesou was the Manual scoring star, this plover registering all the point* hls team made. Manual made two substitutions In the second half and the. south sldera' game improved somewhrt, but not enough to check the speeding east side?*. Slaughter started the scoring In the game ou a foul throw when a personal was called on Wertz. Griggs then followed with a field goal and the Tech machine was on Its way. The Tech athletes turned in eleven points before Manual scored a point, and it was evident that the south side players were clear off their stride. They seemed to be excited and the defensive work of Black and Hawkins of Tech stopped nearly every effort they started. Manual tried several long shots, but failed, B. Harmeson tossing a field goal for hls team's only points in the first hulf. Griggs registered two distance shots half the length of the floor in the first half and Tech rooters staged plenty of wild rooting over the achievement. ' In the second half Tech made only six points, but the east alders knew they were safe ; apparently, though when Whitney and Strain were substituted the Manual team seemed to work better. E. Harmeson stood out as the Manual starlight In the defeat of the Red and White, the other players having lost their shooting ability. The entire Tech squad played well together and Its followers became wildly elated over the easy manner In which their five won Us first sectional contest. In the opening game of the sectional West Newton nosed out Valley Mills, 13 to 12, the weight of the winners proving too much for the midget Mills lads. West Newton had a 7 to 3 lead at half lime, this team's guards stopping the efforts of their opponents. Valley Mills was doped to win, but they found their rivals had improved their guarding and they could not penetrate the defense enough times to put over a victory. The Valley boys fought hard all the way ond go: within one point of tlelng the connt In the second half, only to fall back. However. Stuart nearly put ,bls team in the load near the finish when lie threw for the basket and the ball squirmed out after apparently being In. The game was not fast, but It proved exciting all the way, due to the eloaouvss of the score. . In the second struggle of the day Hen Davis didn't have much trouble with Fishers and won, 23 to 15. The winners uncorked some good team work and clever shooting nnd gradually roller up the count. Stanford tossed In four field goals and Stamm three. Stamm played under the basket and demonstrated hls accuracy whenever the ball "ns passed hls way. The guarding of Frlzre of Ben Davis also was a feature. Ms defensive work stopping a number of Fisher plays. Spickelmlro was the leading athlete for the defeated beam. Sixteen teams are competing for honors in the Indianapolis sectional, with games carded morning, afternoon and night today and Saturday. The winner of the final contest Saturday night will have the honor of representing this district in the state final* at Bloomington next week with winners in the twenty-five other Indiana sectionals. Entered in the sect.onals are -430 teams and through the process of elimination play the championship outfit will be the one unbeaten squad left after all sectional and state finals play has been concluded. Shortridge was to make Its first tournament appearance this afternoon at 4 o clock In a struggle with the strong Southpirt five and rooters trim the little city were boasting that their quintet would eliminate the north aide athletes. However, Shortridge spirit was running riot anl Tomlinson half was due to shake with mlsc when the Blue and White la<ls took the court. Shortridge refuses to listen to dope and her supporters assert it will turn a few surprises. New indoor bleachers erected proved convenient for the fans attending the games and the tournament officials were able to maintain good order throughout the day’s games. As Tomlinson hall is not large enough to accommodate all those students d* siring to attend the event tickets were apportioned In a fair way among the sixteen schools entered.

They Are All Doing It; Smaller Champs Want Crack at Bigger Game

Sometimes they get by with It and sometimes they don’t. Johnny Kllbane went out of hls class and tackled Benny Leonard. He drew the sleep powders and he's stuck in his own set since. But .Tack Britton held Mike O’Dowd fairiv even. Mike Ik the middleweight champ and Jack ts tbe welterweight king. .Stanley Ketcheli was a whale of a fighter, although he was easily a middleweight. But he couldn't hold Jack Johnson even. Time and again the little men have failed to wrest supremacy from their heavier rivals. On the otner hand, tbe little fellows have won occasionally. David walloped Goliath, but. of course, Dave used a slingshot. Benny Leonard has no slingshot, but he Is terribly anxious to mix things with Mike O'Dowd. Bennie is a llgbtie and Mike is a middle. That ordinarily would mean a difference of twenty-five 'pounds, but in this instance It would mean a difference of only fifteen pounds. It Is a well-known fact that Leonird Is vertheavy for a lightweight. On the other hand, O'Dowd Is a light-middleweight,-as mlddlewelghts generally run. Leonard has displayed a good punch at times. He probably is a better lightweight than O’Dowd is a middleweight, but whether he is a better middleweight than O’Dowd remains to be seen. Recently O'Dowd challenged Georges Carpentier for a fling at the European heavyweight title. They’re all doing It. Proo ably quite a crowd of fans would gatho> at the ringside if the promoters staged a scrap between O’Dowd and Beonard. It would be quite a novelty. If Benny should whin O'Dowd, wonder if he'd challenge Carpenter or Dempsey ?

Thirty-seven wins In thfrty-one days. That’s the record of Frank Coltllettl, 16-yenr-old New York lad, who Is the sensation of the winter racing season at New Orleans. The little Italian won the jockey prise at the fall meeting at Jefferson park, succeeding Frankie llobluson. Since then his performances have been one long string of sensations And the most sensational probably of all was his suspension from riding at Jefferson park after he had lost form In the February meeting. The first day at Jefferson the little riding chumplon piloted three winners and finished twice on two other mounts. And then he took a slump. Maybe ho didn't follow the rules of conduct o(T the track that Jockevs are supposed to adhere to during their apprenieeshlp. The stewards who suspended him for the remainder of the meeting did not slate sin-h reasons, but that was the story going the rounds. Recently Charles W. Clark, Montana millionaire, owner of I’ietor and other famous horses, offered .$05,000 for the contracts of Coltlletti. but S. A. Clopton turned it down.

Scott Perry Being Groomed to Check Ruth in the Opener Special Attention Given Arm s os Mack’s Veteran in Louisiana Camp. By FRED TUILBYVILLE. Special Correepondent of The Times. LAKE CHARLES, La„ March 5. Scott Perry is getting in shape to set Babe Ruth down without a homer in tbe first game of tbe season at Philadelphia. The Yanks and Athletics will hitch in that contest and no doubt Perry will be Connie Mack's slab choice. Doc Ebllug, Athletic tratner, is taking no chances with the big right-hander's arm. Scott Is corning along gradually, working off ten or fifteen pounds excess weight aud gradually letting hls throwing arm out. "If Scott pitches good ball this year he’ll <*arn hls salary," says Connie, "but he’ll have to pitch a lot of games and win a lot of them, for he Is getting a goodly sum for the year's work.” Though Connie say* Bcott is getting a straight salary, another story Is to the effi ct thill the big boy who Jumped the team In the middle of last summer Is getting $3,0*8) an d n n additional sum for each game be wins above n stlpu late.i number That's the way they used to pay Butte Waddell and whs the only sue, , sHfnl method of handling the erratic left hander. Taking esre of the pitching arms of the athletes this vear Is not what It was In the past There is little or no alcohol available, according to Elding. SUBSTITUTE OILS BEING USED. "Tuke today, for instance,” said the Doc, "when It is cold like this, and a sharp wind is blowing we always gave the men an-aleoho] rub. That was the best thing on a cold day because it clsd the pores and preiented the utli letes from catching cold. But now we're using witch-hazel and various kinds of oils They are all right as a rule, out give me the alcohol rub for the cold day ” tine of Mack's hardest Jobs 1* to keep the athletes from working too hard at the start. They're all young and want to go it strong. I wouldn’t go out so early,” Connie told the boys one morning. ”Ts Is an hour yet before we start practice,” He told me he had to keep them In until time to start work else they'd go on ahead and throw the ball around too mueh. ”1 like to get them out there aboat the same time and make the workout short and snappy. ! like to see them on the Jump everv minute in the early spring days. Then they won't contract any colds or sore arms and legs.”
