Asa result of the morning games played la the Indianapolis sectional of the state high school basketball championship tournament, Technical clashed with Ben Davis and Shortridge battled -with Broad Ripple In the semi-final "round this afternoon. The Indianapolis school* were the big favorites to cop this afternoon’s contests and clash In the tilt to decide who shall represent this district In the state finals at Indiana university, Bloomington, next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. In the event that a Shortridge-Tech battle is staged to night, the east side Institution will have a slight shade in the dope. Ben Davis was the first quintet,, to reach the semi-finals. They defeated West Newton, 18 to 12, In an overtime game last night Technical went into the semifinals by defeating Cumberland, 22 to 5). In the first morning game today. Broad Ripple won Its berth by banging a 13 to S * defeat on the Castleton athletes, and Shortridge got over the hill astride a 35 to 23 victory over Oaklandon. oaklandon keeps GAME MOVING. Those who had picked Shortridge to win easily over Oaklandon this morning felt rather uneasy during the greater part of the game. In fact, until the last live minutes of play, the odds were about even, with Riley and Castetter leading the Oaklandon defensive machine agninst the Shortridge acorlng combination, of which Thompson and Stevens were the main cogs. The half ended with the Oaklandon lad fighting hard to overcome an 11 to 7 lead gained by the north aiders when Thompson and Stevens each counted from the floor Just a few seconds before the whistle blew. Castetter opened the scoring In Oaklandon's favor when he caged a free throw on Thompson's personal foul. Stevens gave Shortridge their first poluts on a field goal and followed shortly after with a foul throw. Castetter evened the • mint with two foul goals and the hundreds of frenzied fans that packed the big hall began to smell the, smoke of battle. The teams fought on even terms, the lead switching back and forth • through most of the. half, Castetter keeping the game all the more Interesting by throwing five foul goals out of as many chances.

SHORT RIDGE MAKES WARM FINISH. Both teams came back strong In the second period and there was a chance for either to win until the last flee minutes of play. At this time Martin, who had rather neglected his duties at back guard on the Oaklandon team, deserted his post altogether and the northsiders scored rapidly from under the basket. The locals worked the ball down the floor time after time with wonderful passing and tossed It to Thompson or Stevens, who were always stationed within a few feet of the ring. Riley, Oaklandon floor guard, found his eye In the second period and counted three times on brilliant shots one of them the longest that has been made In the tourney. Castetter had only two chances from the foul line In this stanza, making one shot good and missing the other. The Shortrldge athletes had to play liard to stack up the big count on the Oaklandon teem, and they were expected to ba given another good run for their money this afternoon by the husky Broad Ripple representative*. Morris and Garret, forward and center of the Ripple clan, are both good shots and play an exceptionally hard game. On the other hand, the Tech players have had things fairly easy since their game with Manual yesterday morning. They defeated Cumberland this morning, with Drayer and Slaughter out of harness and were expected to have everything their way this afternoon against Ren Davis. * EABIER ROAD 4 OR TECHNICAL. So, there’s the dope. Tech and Shortridge played a fairly hard game yesterday. Tech won easily this morning. .Shortrldge had to play hard. Tech was carded for a “cinch'’ game this afternoon and Shortrldge was scheduled In a real battle. Add everything together and you get Tech and Shortrldge meeting in the final scrap tonight, with Technical having won one fairly bard game and two easy ones, and Shortridge having won one fairly easy game and two hard ones. The tournament fans were Introduced to overtime play in the final contest Friday night when Ben Davis defeated s-West Newton, 16 to 12, In an extra session. The winners led through "practically the entire game, but just before the curtain dropped Davis contributed ■two field goals to the West Newton cause -*ud knotted the count at 11 all. Newton scored first in the extra time on a free throw. Martin evened the score for Ben Davis with another foul goal, and Frtsund and Standford shot the winning baskets. Technical started the first game this morning with VanArsda’.e and Hay, a pair of substitutes, holding down the forward Jobs. Coach Black was confident of a victory and refused to take chances on injuring his regular combination. The Cumberland lads played a better guarding game than was expected of them in the opening chapter and sensational shots by Langenberg and Hllkene kept them close on the heels of th Indianapolis quintet The latter caged two long-distance shots, apd when the period closed the score stood 11 Vo 6, Tech leading. TECH GUARDS STOP CUMBERLAND, The Tech mentor sent Nipper In for Hay and Drayer for Griggs In the secfond half and things began to speed up Immediately. Black and Hawkins also nncovrd a bit of thlr cholc guarding stuff In the period and the star Cumberland shots were held in check at all times. In tho second period the teams used reserve tactics and before the whistle blear Fergaaon was ruled out for com-

I have had best success with my underhand ball against him. I mix them up, though. Trouble with moat pitchers when Ruth Is up is that they pitch too bard. Whenever you get two strikes on Ruth be ought to be easy. Lakt year he made only fine homer off me and none In 1918/’ when he last wore a uniform—that of the Milwaukee etub. Mack spends the mornings and afternoon* Just back of the Infield, slowly pacing back and forth, watching the work of the boys he has gathered from various minor leagues.

He’s proud of that bench of recruits, for be picked most of them himself. During the season of 1919 when there was no hope or the. Athletics, he left the club time and again to look over some youngster In the brush. And when the season had ended he had collected quite a few rare specimens. He Isn’t claiming any high honors for his boys this year. He’d rather talk about baseball generally.
