Crack Shortstop Added to Hoosiers 9 Roster in Transaction With the New York Giants

EDDIE SICKING OBTAINED FOR TRIBE INFIELD Manager Hendricks Closes Surprise Deal in Which Indians Get Star. STILL AFTER PLAYERS Manager Jack Hendrick* returned to Indianapolis from New York with tne surprise announcement that he had obtained 1 nflelder Eddie Sicking for the 1921 Indians. Sicking is a shortstop of class and. according to Cincinnati rating he Is a better performer than Crane when allaround qualifications are compared. Sicking comes to the Hoosiers as the closing part of the Henline deal with the New York Giants and has played with both Giants and Reds during his time in the big leagues. John McGraw obtained him from San Antonio in 1918 and he was with the Giants in 1911) and part of 1920. when he was grabbed by the Reds by the waiver route. Pat -Moran used Eddie often last season and all the time he was with tho Keds Cincinnati papers spoke of him highly as a ball player. Ha Is a Cincinnati boy and Red fans no doubt will regret to see him taken out of the Queen City line-up. Waivers had been asked on him. however, r.ud John McGraw immediately obtained him again ar.d then turned him over to the Hoosiers. He is a right-handed hitter and will fit in nicely in the new Ilne-up being built by Hendricks. The addit.ou of this star gives the Tribe Covington, liaird, Sicking. Scbreiber and Lutzke, a highclass infield lay-out, but according to Hendricks, he is not rhrougu searching for talent and is in the market for another performer. The coming of Sicking gives the Indians four players for Catcher Henllue and any fan will have to admit that a deal of that sort is w-orth boasting over. The other athletes obtained in the Henline trade to the Giants are Infleider Baird. Outfielder Klnselia and Catcher Dixon, the first two of known Class AA quality and the last named a promising minor leaguer. Manager Hendricks says these winter deals mean a flying start for next year s team because he'll know early what his roster contains. The 1920 Hoosiers were 1 handicaped by an uncertain starting line-up and by players reporting late, and as a result, part of the benefit of the spring training was lost. Therefore, the organization of the club during the cold months will give the Tribe boss the chance to take a real squad of athletes to the training camp and build a line.up that will stack up with any Association rival from the opening bell. Hendricks talked over his 1921 plans with Vice President Smith while In New York and Smith urged him to continue to keep his eyes open for material. It is the desire of the Tribe officials to be in the pennant running from the start and at the rate new players are being obtained the fans are convinced that they are going to see something good next spring. Efforts to get Sammy Crane have been given up, a< Cincinnati desires to keep him to use in a proposed trade. However. Sicking is believed a better possibility if he performs in the manner Ctncy critics say he can perform. Indiana polis was not the only association dub bidding for Sicking, but the fact that he was the property of the Giants g3re the Hoosiers first chance because of the Henllne deal. Hendricks has Itehg. Shinners, Kinseila and Van Dyke for outfield material, but he does uot intend to overlook any opportunities to make additions to that department. He is also striving to bolster the pitching staff and catching department, although the team is not bad off in either place. At any rate the 1921 Tribe prospects are unusually bright and. with more deals in the making, Indianapolis is sure to "be there” when the curtain goes up next spring.

TY SAYS HE'LL LEAD WINNER NEW YORK, Pec. JO.—Tyrus Cobb Is the new leader of the Detroit American Leaguers. The Georgia Peach will assume his duties as manager of the Tigers at once, and do everything in his power to build tip a strong team for the coming season. Cobb declared that he did not seek the position, but accepted it because Owner Navin insisted that the team needed him as a leader. “I very much would me preferred to lay aside ail my ambitions in the managerial line until such time as I felt myself slipping." Cobb stated. "But, now that I have decided to take the plunge,” he continued, ”! intend to be the best manager. I will fight and fight hard to make myself as successful a leader as I have been a player, lu the meantime I do not intend to allow any managerial burdens to detract from my playing. There Is Speaker who has risen to great heights as leader of the Cleveland Indians. In my opinion what any player has ever <lono I believe I can duplicate. It Is said Cobb’s contract calls for $30,000. FACTION TALK IN AMERICAN NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—The "insurgent” faction in the American League is said to be preparing a statement regarding President Johnson’s move iu keeping its members off the board of directors. .

Em-Roes Well Fixed for Real Game With Triangle Quintette Teamwork of Locals Shows Improvement—Visitors to Have Strong Line-up. That the Etn-Roe basket-ball team will present as formidable a line-up against the Dayton Triangles Tuesday night, at the Y. M. C. A., as it has placed on the floor in the past few seasons, is the opinion of those who saw the Ein-Uoes play Wabash at Crawfordsville, last Thursday night. The passing and general play of the team was more than 100 per cent better In the second Wabash tilt than it was when the two teams met in the first battle of the season for the Ein-Roes. Practice, and lots of it, has rounded the team into exceptional shape and those fans who desire real basket-ball may see it Tuesday uight. The Dayton Triangles will throw a formidable team at the Em-Itoes Tuesday night. This much is gathered from the line-up the Ohioans will bring to Indianapolis. The Dayton team and the Em-Hoes have been long rivals for Independent basket-ball supremacy of Ohio nnd Indiana. Some stiff contests have been waged between the organizations in the past few years, and the ones this season will he no tame affairs. The Era-Roes probably will line up with Carlisle and Sehoenemau, forwards: Campbell, center, and Behrent and Frlddle, guards. Besides these men, there are O. Behrent and Hennessey, both com]>etent forwards, well able to take care of the scoring end of the machine. Tickets for the contest are now on sale at the Em-Roe store. BANTAM TITLE GO THIS WEEK Joe Lynch &lated for Trial With Herman in Wednesday Scrap. By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—Joe Lynch. New York's popular aspirant to the bantamweight championship, will find out this week whether he has been chasing a rainbow. . , .. Lvnch will get his first chance at the coveted title over the decision route Wednesday night, when lie meets Champion l'ete Herman in a fifteen round title bout at Madison Square Garden. Confidence Is Lynch s middle nnine. tie feels that he will walk from the ring Wednesday night with championship laurels on his brow. His confidence has a foundation in the fact that he is admitted to be the best bantam on Herman's trail and that he gained a populat derision over Herman In a teu-rouml nodecislon bout at Waterbury a little over a year ago. ... Since capturing the title from Kid IV 11 Hams in 1917 Herman has defended it but once in a decision bout when be mot Frankie Burns in a twenty-round scrap In Now Orleans. However, th* -tampion is oofideut that he can t#he care of his crown, for he has already signed to meet Jimmy Wilde in a title bout in London Jan. 14 and has arranged to sail for England next ihursday, the day following his bout with Lvnch. Herman thinks well of Lynch, too. ••He is easily the best of the contenders for my title.” said the bantamweight champion today. “That’s one reason ■ whv I am giving him a shot at the championship before I go to England to ine-t Wilde. I don't want It to be said I took the trip abroad to duck a title bout on this side. ••As I sn and before. 1 think Lynch is quite a fighter. I also think I can iiek him I've fought him three times, on—here, once in Philadelphia and once in Waterbury. I hear he has improved a lot. I haven't gone back any, I think.” The bout between the little fellows is causing much interest and it is expected to draw t- e tdgge-t lions' that has been attracted by a match between bantams in the East.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKET GOSSIP

One one point was all that separated the local high schools from a perfect record in the last week of play. When Shelbyville nosed out Manual, 24 to 23, Saturday night, at the Y. M. C. A., it marked the only defeat of the week for the city high school basket quintettes. Shortrldge won two games, beating Thorntown, 19 to IC, Friday, and Fairmount the following night, 21 to 20. Tech, in the only game of the week for the east slders, walloped Columbus on the lattpr’s court, Friday, 26 to 17. yt an ' uai, after downing Crawfordsville, 30 to 17, on Friday, spoiled the good work by succumbing to Shelbyville. Christmas vacation will not mean vacation to basket-ball men of the three high schools, as the managers of the respective institutions have marked out a schedule for the holidays that will keep the athletes on the go continuously. Tech will meet Pendleton Wednesday at Pendleton, and on the following day Coach Blnck will take his men to Bloomington for a game with the speeding high school quintette of that place. This contest will close the activities of the Green and White busketeers for the week, but ; iiey will start right in again the fol- . lowing week. On Tuesday of that week ‘ they will go to Logansport and on Sat- ! urday will engage in the four-cornered tourney at Browusburg. Advance, Llz- : ton, Brownsburg and Tech are the schools entered in the tourney, and if the east aiders can carry off the honors it will be no small feather in their hat. Shortridge will meet Muneieon i Wednesday of this week on the Short 1 ildge floor. This is the only contest on ' the Blue and White card for this week, i but the following week will i>e a strenuous one for Couch Julius' proteges. On : Dec. 29 the nortli slders will go to Bra ' z!l and on Dec. .to and 31 they will take J on the Wiley and Garfield fives of Terre ! Haute at that city. The hard-working ShortrWgers will bring their vacation I romp to a close with a game with Vincennes on the foreign court. Manual will go to North Salem on j Thursday of this week. Tuesday of next i week Coach Morrison's aggregation will meet a picked team of alumni in the I Manual gym. This alumni game is an annual affair for the aouth sidera and is the feature contest ou the holiday card. !On De-. 31 the Red and White quintette will go to Wabash, and this contest will close the vacation activities. The last-minute punch and never-glve-up spirit that characterizes the play of Shortrldge basket-ball teams and which won so many games for the north slders last year is plainly lu evideuce again : this season, as Is shown by the results 1 of the two Shortridge games played last week. In the Thorntown contest the Blue and White was on the short end of the score until the Inst minute of play, when the Shortrldge attack got together and cb-rged down the floor for two field goals, giving them a three-point victor}-. In the Fairmount game the fighting no.'th slders came through with a win by the narrow margin of one point. Hhortridge has completely got it over the other local schools in this respect, and if a little of the Shortrldge’ spirit could have been injected into the Manual quintette Saturday the result of the Shelbyviile contest might have been different. Tpch outplayed Columbus far more thau the score would Indicate, according to those who saw the contest, and If Bia-k's men had made half as many short shots as they should have made th- Green and White total amild have soared to great proportions Time after time the Tech attack would carry the ball into easy scoring distance only to miss an easy shot under the basket. Ri-heson. Shelbyville forward, Is one of the fastest high school basket-ball players that has shown in the city this year Although small, he is up to his neck in the came every second, lie is the mainstay of the Shelbyville offensive play,

INDIANA DAILY TIMISS, MONDAY, DECEMBER ZO, 1920.

and, besides playing the floor in great style, he has an unerring eye for the basket, scoring the bulk of Shelbyville's points in practically every game played this year. The results of the games last week Indicate that the local high schools have at last struck their stride. With all three quintettes now started off on the win side of the ledger, big things are expected of local athletes before the close of the season. Some people thought that Anderson’t victory over Franklin was a fluke. T offset this supposition, Anderson walloped Martinsville a short time ago, 00 to 22. the worst beating to which a Alarttlnsville team was ever subjected. The best that Franklin could do with Martinsville was a victory by the slim margin of 19 to 11. Who’s going to stop Anderson ? Saturday’s upsets—Muneie, 24; Bloomingtou, 17; Rochester, 21; Lebanon, IS; Walton, 52, Jefferson, 12. Here's your comparative score dope: Bloomington holds the powerful Anderson aggregation to a 25-to-16 win Friday and the next night succumbs to Muneie, a supposedly mediocre five, 21 to 17. If the achievement of Muneie in this game is not simply a flash in the San, then Muneie has been greatly unerrated this season nnd henceforth must be regarded as a real factor in the State title race. Logansport triumphed over Hartford City, 15 to 12, in one of the feature northern Indiana contests of the week-eno. Especial interest was attached to this contest because Homer Stonebrnker, Logansport mentor, last year coached Hartford City.

Butler Basketeers Give Chicago Scare in Thrilling Scrap Indiana, and Wabash Score Easy Victories in Other Saturday Games. There was little to get excited over n the collegiate basket games played in Indiana Saturday night, but the Butler court artists made room for a little gossip when they went up into Chicago and held Inst year's Conference champons on the short end of the count until the final stages of a hot battle, only to be nosed out at the finish. Indiana’s quintette won from _ Manchester by a 44-to-12 score, and Wabash handed State Normal a 28-to 17 lacing in the only college games played in Hoosierdom. The Chicago Maroons don’t care for another such scare as that handed them b> the Irvington clan. The first half of their contest was a nip-nnd-tuck affair, closing with Butler in the lead, 7 to 3. The Bulldogs continued setting the pace until the second period was more than half over, when the effects of their stiff battle with Purdue Friday night started to show and they were forced to slow up considerably. The Maroons spurted at this point and managed to slip out iu front for a 29 to 21 victory. HI TLER BOYS CARRY FIGHT l’age’s men carried the fight to the Chicago five at all times and a more willing team never performed on the Windy City court. Maroon backers found plenty of room to praise the losers and their "wonder man'* coach. Butler will practice with the Maroons today and Tuesday, then hit it over to Bloomington 111., for a game with the Bloomington exCollegians Wednesday night. The Bloomington contest will be the last of their present road trip. Adams and Goldsberr.v led the Vabash offensive drive which proved the undoing of the Normal team The Scarlet machine had some trouble getting down to business in the first period, and it was. several minutes before they could score, but the baskets came fast after Goldsberry hud started them off with n free throw. TTie real feature of the game was the brilliant passing of the Wabash five. Time and again the Scarlet worked the bull over the court, bringing it Immediately under the basket for “dead” shots. The Nonnallun did have such a powerful offense ami the wo k of Burns nnd Grater. Wat.ash guards, for-ed thiosers to take most of their shots from the distance. Winters supplied the scoring feature for Normal, t'.ac': Vaughan threw an entire second-string Wabash team into the scrap during the second period. Manchester furnished little or no opposition for th- Crimson squad at Hio-mlogt n. With the regulars making baskets almost at will, the Indiana subs were shifted into their positions five minutes before the first session closed The regulars went back in shortly before the close of the contest and continued n heavy bombardment of the hoops Besides running all around Mon Chester with their snappy offensive play, the Indiana athletes threw a stonewall defense around their basket ami it was only on rare occ'.> 1- u - that Manchester players hit the ring.
