WINTER BASEBALL NEWS, CENTRAL STATES BOWLING NOTES, BASKET SCORES AND BOXING

MAGNATES SEE PROBLEM MET WITHOUT FUSS Minors Expected to Accept New Pact After Changes Have Been Made. HOPE TO SETTLE DRAFT BI LCTHSB BOSTON. International News Staff Correspondent. CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—Major and minor league baseball mag-nates will get together at a series of meetings that began here today and cut, sew and Iron the wrinkles out of baseball’s 1921 garments. A complete outfit suitable to the Increased prosperity will be tailored for Old Man Baseball. The prediction that the magnates would get together appeared entirely safe, as the conference, that wilt- last three or four days, began this morning. There were some small rumblings that indicate an undercurrent of rebellion, but they were not really menacing and those who hare watched the workings of previous baseball meetings easily detected signs that the moguls would manifest tbeir usual facility in surmounting difficulties. Foremost among the signs of peace was the Indication that the minor leagues would settle all quarrels and join with the major circuits In approval of the new national agreement under which Judge K. M. Landis becomes the chief administrator of baseball law. J. Chi Ewing, representing the Pacific Coast League, 6aid today that his league would favor a restoration of the draft If the other Class AA circuits —the American Association and the International League—will agree. It is expected that some changes will be made In the proposed national agreement, which was drawn by George Wharton Pepper, a Philadelphia lawyer, but that It finally will be approved by all the major and minor leagues. President Ban Johnson of the American League took a big step toward peace when he announced that his league would sign the new agreement and come into the fold under the shepherdshlp of Judge Landis. The minor leagues were to hold meetings here today and work out their plans and proposals for the future code of baseball. Preliminary meetings will continue until Wednesday, when a Joint meeting of the majors and the minors will assemble. By that time, it is expected. a basis of agreement will have been worked out. The schedule committees of the National and the American Leagues were still at work today on the 1921 playing program. By dint of strenuous endeavor the committees hope to finish their work and make February meetings of the American and National Leagues unnecessary. Judge Lhndls, President He.vdler of the National League and Ban Johnson were expected to confer today on rules fcr the conduct of the world’s series. Empires may be placed on a percentage basis the same as players who participate In the annual fail classic. Anew ffnn of contracts for players. In which the players would agree to recognize the authority of Judge Landis in all matters of baseball ethics both on and off the field, also is likely to be devised.

SPORT EDITORIAL By EDDIE ASH. Comes now a man of intellect, possessing the courage to speak right out and to issue a bouquet of praise for the usefulness of the newspaper sport page. And any time a man of intellect speaks thusly his words should be shouted throughout the land for, though most men of intellect are willing to admit they read the sport page, they usually are timid about giving It proper recognition as an instrument of value. The sport oage champion of whom we speak Is none other than President Gregory of St. Mary’s College, Oakland, Cal., one of the oldest colleges and said to be one of the most conservative Institutions In the far West. In the dally newspaper sport page President Gregory sees the place where colleges are built, and he proclaims that the college which does not have Its name Inscribed In the column adjoining the latest gossip of the boxing ring, baseball diamond and other sports is destined for the reverse of success when It comes to the spreading of knowledge. "The college or university which does not appear on the sport pages of the newspaper is out of the running,’’ President Gregory declared recently. “It lacks the vitality necessary to a real Institution of learning. All modern colleges and universities are beginning to realize that the sport page of the newspaper is their legitimate means of publicity. “The red-blooded American youth will most often select his college by Its record for athietic prowess. Many a college never would have been known to prospective college students had It not been that the students read of the college's achievements In the field of sports. During the years of 1907-11, when St. Mary's was at the crest of Its athletic success and • Hubert Leonard, Harry Hooper, Eddie Burns and a score of nationally known athletic figures were developed, the enrollment Increased between 40 and 60 per cent. Investigation showed that the majority of the students then enrolled had first heard of the college from the sport page. “The men drawn In that manner were not those seeking fame as athletes—they were all classes of students —but they came to our school because they felt a kinship with ns from following our athletic fortunes on the printed page. Recently Assistant Coach E. P. Mndigan of Columbia, a former Notre Dame star, told me that registration at Notre Dame had increased 100 per cent since the football team became famous. “But this is only the practical phase of sports. In the complex life of a college there must be some means of cementing the interests of all students. Sports are the only democratic means of doing this. But even then the real value remains inactive unless given recognition on the sport pages of the daily newspaper.”

WIGGINS FACES • CLEVER GIBBONS Chuck Wiggins, Indianapolis light heavyweight, will have another battle with Harry Greb, his Pittsburgh rival, at stake when he takes on Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul for ten rounds at Cincinnati tomorrow night.

I probably shall go on fighting for some time.’' In an exhibition match with the Belgian boxer, Lenaens, Carpentier astonished the Dutch sportsmen by his cleverness. “He is even better than we ex peeled.” said one of them. “He can land five blows where another man lands one ” Carpentier said he might meet Frank Moran of Pittsburgh before his tight with Dempsey.

The objects sought In the calling of today’s conference and the forming of a boxing organization of nation-wide scope are of great importance to the ring sport.

Alexander Permits Fewest Earned Runs in National League Cub Veteran Also Wins Most Games—Grimes Has Highest Percentage. NEW YORK, Jan. 10—Alexander the Groat still holds sway among the pitchers of his league. „ The big fellow tops nil hurlers in the National League In the matter of corned runs made off his delivery per gnme, according to the official pitching averages made public today. During the season of 1920 Alex pitched in forty-six gomes and completed ttairtythree, giving up but 1.91 earned runs per game. The year previous he also led the pitchers of his league in this department with an average of 1 72.

COLLEGE AND H. S. NET GOSSIP

Butler’s victory over Earlhniu lias sent the Irvington school’s stock up again in regard to the State collegiate and I. C. A. L. titles and Blue and White followers predict that the Pagemcn will go through the entire remaining part of their schedule without another defeat. The two Wabash games loom Tip like the biggest obstacle to such an achievement. You tell ’em Butler, you’ve been Paged. Arguments of long standing and a lot of old scores will be settled when tho alumni from Manual and Shortrldge in the past ten yours square off for a basket-ball contest Jnn. 24, at Tomlinson Hall. The greatest stars that have represented the north nnd south side institutions In this period will be In the respective 11ne-upR, fighting out old battles. A1 Feeney, Schoeneman, Kline Babb, Bartholmew and Bice will uphold the colors for Manual, while Shortrldge hopes will rest In the Stevens brothers, Hennessey, Born, Bornsteln, iSussman, Middlesworth and Frankfort. An immense crowd of fans Is expected to turn out and witness the unique game. Tech's 17 to 10 victory over Bedford Saturday night at the local Y. M. C. A., after being held on the short end of an 11 to 5 count at half time, is a pleasant morsel to followers of the Green and White. In the past It has been the policy of the Tech quintette to go to pieces in the second half and now that they have demonstrated that they can play basket-ball in the latter session as well as the first local fans will expect bigger things of Black’s goal geUers. While a victory over any one of our Indianapolis high school teams this year Is no particular recommendation for a basket-ball five, the way In which Jefferson of I,afayette maltreated Shortrldge and Manual over the week-end marks that quintette as one of the strongest in the State. Manual fell Friday, 42 to 17, at Lafayette, and Shortrldge succumbed Saturday on the Shortrldge court, 66 to 2s. .

The Purdue-Wnbash game at Lafayette Tuesday holds (he limelight In Hoosler college basket circles for the week. This contest, besides being a deciding factor in the race for the State title, should be an A I attraction from start to finish in which college basket-ball of the highest order Is certain to be displayed. Indiana started off on tho right foot In the Western Conference race Saturday by trimming Ohio State, 2!> to 21. The Crimson quintette will take on Michigan tonight at Ann Arbor, and the Bloomington clan will have to be on their mettle to win this battle as the Wolverines were trimmed by Wisconsin Saturday, 27 to 24, and they will be m no mood for another beating. 9 Greensbtirg holds the single game scoring honors for the week. The boys from “where the tree grows on the tower” took Westport into camp Friday to the tune of 95 to 6. This week will be a busy one for Hoosler college quintettes. Purdue, besides playing Wabash Friday, will open her Conference schedule Saturday against Not thwestern. Indiana plays Michigan tonight. De Pauw opposes the Em-Roes here Tuesday and then takes on Earlham Friday. Earlbam is doing some mighty queer things this season on the basket court and the Quakers are causing coaches ?ver the State a lot of worry. It will be no cinch game for the Bussmen. Butler has two games carded this week and both will be played on the Irvington court. Central Normal will oppose tlie Pagemen Tuesday, while Rose Poly will furnish the opposition Friday. The Purdue game Tuesday probably will be the only one of the week for Wabash tossers. This will enable the Scarlet to get in a lot of rest before the Invasion of the De Pauw Tigers, which occurs next week.

Coming through some big Saturday and Sunday rounds the Central States Tournament shooters will let the wood rest until Wednesday night, when activities will be resumed on tha Central alleys. The Central Alley, Capitol Alleys, Coca-Colas, Indians, Marotts, Strauss Says, Em-Roe and other “better” Indianapolis fives will bombard the maples Wednesday night and prospects for Indianapolis getting back in the fiveman lead are looking mighty fine. The biggest one-day card of the tournament was pulled off yesterday afternoon and evening and, although some classy all-round shooting was offered, the singles lead was the only one that switched. Eddie Baker of Terre Haute, shooting a 673 total, slipped up to first place In the one-man race and seems pretty well “fixed” to withstand the rush of the best shooters who have yet to perform. Oscar Jenson, Baker's doubles partner, registered a 655 total in his singles game. Jenson also rolled Into fourth place in the all-events, with a grand total of 1,840 pins. Wicsman and McGowan, former Indianapolis shooters who now call Evansville their home, went Into fourthplace in the doubles with a score of 1,205. Moorman and Engle, Batesvllle, scored 1,203 to figure fifth in the doubles.

SPIRIT NEEDED TO WIN GAMES Evers and Hcydler Say That Successful Teams Must Fight to Last Ditch. CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—“ Every Cab on my club must ruu out every hit." —Johnny Evers. Sounds like a peculiar policy. for a major league manager, but there's a lot back of it. It's not the physical exertion required in dashing to first at top speed on an almost sure out that counts so much as the spirit behind It. • Si irlt is halt tbo assets of a winning ball club,” John A. He.vdler, president of the National League, said recently. "Nine of the best players In the country might fail to produce a winning ball cluD if the spirit wasn't there. A club of less capable players with the spirit to dash down on every hit, to run after seemingly impossible fielding chances, will get the results. "Look at the world's series last fall. Spirit made Cleveland win. After a discouraging start, the Indians Wept at it, taking advantage of every break and taking every chance, Brooklyn's spirit was not the same when thiugs were breaking wrong." EViKS WANTS SCRAPPY CROWD. Evers, the new manager of the Cubs, one of the most fiery players of his day, has similar ideas on spirit. I will insist upon the winning spirit on the Cubs,'' he said during the recent National League meeting. Many a ball game has been won by a pl;>; er who dashed to first on a roller that seemed a sure out. No player on mv team will be permitted to loaf. Laziness ~c lack of Interest in one player contaminates tlie rest and gives the spectators the idea that they don't care.’ Managers are largely responsible for the s>.irlt of their club. Trls Sneaker injected *"lrlt into the Cleveland Indians by bis activity on the field. Hugh Jennings inspired the Tigers with his ener 'v on the aid" lines. Kid Gleason Influetiued the old White Sox with a cap cocked over one eye and an attitude of pugnacity. John McGraw worked up a reputation as a fighter and he always nas bad a team of fighters on the field. FANS I.IKE ACTIVE MANAGERS. “Active-spirited managers not only Influence their club but they help the game " President Heydler says. "The fans tike to see an active manager on the sidelines and along this line I think the National League has profited immerselv by the acquisition of Hugh Jennings. Tlie National League fans will follow him and enjoy his antics Just as tmich as the American League, where be was a great drawing card.' Fans do like to see fighting managers. PHI Firmer used to strut around the American’ Association as manager of the Louisville club with a chin on his shoulder continually and Louisville was the biggest drawing card in tlie league. When Bill and Jack Hendricks got together in Indianapolis the rark usually was crowded Naturally the fighting spirit of their leaders spread to the players and they had winning ball clubs.

Dr. Lambeth to Press for Change in Football Rules CHAR LOTTES YILLE, Ya„ Jan. 10.— Dr. William A. Lambeth, guiding spirit of athletics of the University of Virginia, will make another effort to have the pres'ent football rules changed In regard to safeties and touch backs, when the national rules committee, of which be Is a member, meets next month in New York City. It is Dr. Lambeth's contention that spectators at a football game are never able to tell which has been scored. He would make a distinction by bringing the ball out to the forty-yard line following the scoring of a safety. The University of Virginia football sage stated tbnt In his opinion there would be no further attempt to restrict the forward pass by permitting its use only on the first down and forbidding the runner to advance with the ball after a forward pass lias been completed. The abolition of the kicking of goal after a touchdown probably would come before the committee, he stated.

Incidentally, It is expected, Tilden and Johnston will be named to defend the cup they won recently in New Zealand. With foreign players of top-notch class certain to come to the Unified States to participate In at least two Davis cup ties.
