BIG TRADE IS LOSS TO REDS Cincy Had Lines Out for Both Maranville and Southworth —Paskert Stays. CINCINNATI, Jan. 25—The big trade between Boston and Pittsburgh, which was consummated Sunday, not only removes the last Red hope of securing Rabbit Maranville for the local club, but also blocks the effort to get Billy Southworth. of the Pirates, to play right lie-id hero In place of Greasy Neale, who goes to Philadelphia in the trade for lippa Utxey. The deal in which the Reds were involved included Southworth as well cs Maranville, and so the local team is deprived not only of a fast moving shortstop, whom Manager Moran was particularly anxious to get, but also of a hard hitting right fielder. CONTRACT SENT VET PASKERT. Owing to the loss of Southworth. whom the Red officials had counted rather strongly on getting, it has been decided to send a contract to George Paskert and have him report here for the training trip. When Paskert was claimed from the Cubs by the waiver route, the intention was to send him to Seattle in the trade which brought Eretton and Bohne here. But the fact was overlooked that Paskert is a veteran of such long service in th National League that ho cannot he sent out to a minor league club tinder the rules which provide that no player who has seen ten years of continuous service In the league can he shipped to the minors. Paskert has been In the hi;: show for thirteen years and therefore cannot be used in a trade with any minor league club. When the Red officials discovered this fact they at first tried to turn him back to the Cn'.is. but the Chicago club refused to back track on the -deal. This left the veteran gardener on the hands of the Cincinnati club. SEE TO START in right nmn. If Southworth had been secured Paskert would looked like excess baggage, but now ne will i.e asked to report here. President Herrmann sent him a | Red contract today. Charlie See will start the season in] right fieid with Paskert as the utility | fielder unless the deal with St. Louis for; McHenry and Jack Smith goes through. j President Herrmann received word today that the reports of the serious In- I Jury to Catcher Bubbles Hargrave were exaggerated. The telegram from Florida i stated that Hargrave broke his legt last [ Wednesday ami would probably be out j for two or three months. But Hargrave wired today that the! injury occurred on Jan. X and was a. sprain, and not a bad break, as had been ! reported. He has bee.n wa’ltinc on the j leg for a week and has Just returned to; St. Petersburg from a five day hunting; trip. But he will play no more ball this; winter and plans to leave at once for the North. He said that he would stop oft in Cincinnati to sign his contract this ( last of this week. He will be able to make the training trip with the Reds and i will be ready to take his turn behind the j bat whenever called on by Manager .loran. BASKET-BALL COLLEGE. Illinois, 23; Minnesota. 22.

Chicago Must Beat Ohio to Remain in Big Ten Limelight COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 25.—Whether the University of Chicago basket-ball team will remain in the race for the 1021 Big Ten Conference basket-ball title, which it won iast year, will depend on the showing of the Maroons tonight when they (a; kle Ohio State Imre. A defeat, on top of the loss at Illinois in an overtime game a wo k ago, would practically eliminate Stagg s team. The Ohio State quintette lias not shown great form to date, but the late appearance of five members of the squad who did not return from the Ohlo-C’aUfornla footbnll game on the coast until Jan. 5, handicapped the efforts of Coach Truutman in the early games. Ohio math* a fine showing against Michigan, holding the Wolverines to one basket at Ann Arbor, but losing on the home floor to the strong Indiana and Purdue teams. Bobby Roth Realizes One Big Ambition in Getting Chance With Yankee Club Bobby Roth has realized one great am bltion. Since tiie time he broke into big league baseball Bobby has wanted to play ball in “the big town," Now York. Now lie gets his chance. He was truded to the Yankees recently for Pit; her Mogrldee and Outfielder Lewis by Clark Griffith. The trading of the famous Duffy and n pitcher for Sir Robert Indicates what Huggins thinks of him as a player. Roth was a newsboy in Chicago as a kid lie played ball between “hustling” times and gained enough attention to he signed by Itactne, Win., in 1911. He played with Kansas City, Ft. Joseph. Kansas City again and Springfield before the White Sox grabbed him in uiidsensoo. 1914. He starred early ns a third sa<ker, but was turned into an outfielder in liilfi. He was traded to Cleveland with Klepfer for Joe Jackson In 1915. He remained with Cleveland until after tbe lain campaign. Then Cleveland iraded him to the Athletics. Connie swapped him to Boston and tho Red Sox traded him to Washington. Bobby Is a whale of a hitter end n classy outfielder. lie Is a dangerous bird at bat with men on bases. Short ridge Yets Beat Old Timers of Manual Short ridge defeated Manual. 34 to 24. in the high school alumni scrap on the Tomlinson Hail court last night. The teams put up a fast article of Dali, considering the fact that they have not been together in practice work. Frank Stevens, with nine field goals and two free tosses, led the Shortridge attack in a large way. Wallie Middlesworth, former running mate to Steven*, aud now a member of tho Butler squnfl, tossed five field goals. Glen Kline rolled up the big Individual total for the Mauualltes, getting six field goals. Everett Babb and Johnny Rice also went big for the losers. N. D. Stars Enter SOUTH BEND, Ind., Jan. 25.

It was pretty moan of the Robbins Body outfit to come along and post their 053 total to take the one-game honors from the Nationals. The Mid wests slowed after a rapid getaway and the Woody Machines stepped to the front for two wins. Koffcl had two poor games with the Wheelers, but his 214 score just about made amends for the others. Palmes of the Robbins combination was right on the outskirts of the coveted field every time, but couldn't break through. The Politicians put oyer another win iu the Courthouse league, taking three straights from the Crooks. Iluse shot a wicked club for the Politicians. while Bevllle cracked out the best Crook counts. The Ward Heelers had a hard time beating the Grafters by a three-pin margin in the opening round, but they made a real job of it in the second effort. Clark of tbs Grafters was high man in this battle with a count of 167.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1921.

Em-Roe and Earlham Teams in Top Shape for Battle Tonight Locals Out to Make Amends for Defeat Suffered Earlier in Season. Probably the last Indiana Collcgo five that will lie seen on the “Y” court this season will take the floor tonight, when Earlham faces the Eni-Hoes. Local funs have not seen the Quakers in action, but will find the collegians to be one of the best squads in the State for, while they have not plied up the Impressive record of some State college quintets, they have lalmred under tha handicap of playing without (heir star back guard until his return to the team lately. With tho exception of the New York Nationals, who coins here on the following Tuesday, the Km-Roes likely will not play another team here of the caliber of the Earlham aggregation. The home card contains only two or three mure real games and the rest of the time will be spent In conquest of State Helds. | Only of late have tbe Em-Roes hit the i stride they are capable of. The De Pauw i game -found them at their best and the | Tigers suffered their first defeat of their present season in this game. The squad has increased this dip considerably, as the record uu the last week's southern trip testifies. The fact that Earlham holds one decision over the Em-ltoes and that they again have their strongest possible lineup ou the floor, gives the Quakers a tine chance to star! an uphill climb. Johnson will patrol the buck guard beat again and with him bolstering the defense the Quaker attack should stiffen perceptibly and bear out tho threats it made at the start of the season. The Brookside Cubs and “Y” Lenders will in et in the curtain-raiser at 7 o’clock The- two have been setting a fast pace in the amateur ranks of the city aud will furnish a lively prelude to tbe main attraction. The big game 1* slated to start at 8 o’clock sharp, as the Quakers must leave on an early train. Tickets were to remain on sale till day at the lCui itoe store and will be taken to the "Y” building before the start of the game.

Farver, a husky athlete, who wm in the Dental squad last year, or Quill, the former Manual Training High School player, will be at Mathew's position. Dale Miller will referee the game.

INTRODUCING HANK STEVENS. PERPETUAL BASKET PLAYER

By CHARLES LOGAN. Basket-ball players ami teams throughout tbe country are striving to follow the dizzy pace being set by Hoosier court F'4 ' a dian.i High School 'g£v. /. : 1A t U loth: Assoi lui * J tlon's basket-ball tournament is not the biggest event of its kind in the Hank Steven*. world, and when Wayne Kmmelman's Independent amateur organization of 258 team* is not the big gest non-scholastic amateur net association in the country. But, it is doubtful if ever there will come to the frout a man who can stand back and laugh at the record being established by Frank Stevens, former Shortridge athlete, the ’’perpetual bas-ket-ball player" of Indianapolis. FANS SEE HIM ON ALL COl RTS. Statistics on the 1920-21 career of Stevens, to those who do not know him and follow his work, will seem well-nigh Hank Stevens Hank's forever tossing baskets. Give him credit, boys, he’s there. Koine ceilings are low, other* are high. But leave It to Hank, he’ll always get by. I >uponeiil s ne'er ran stop him. His stor shine* everywhere— Hank'* forever tossing briskets, Give him credit, boys, he's there. unbelievable, but almost any red-hot basket fan In Indianapolis can verify them without going to n lot of trouble. With the season Just turning the halfway mark, “Hank” Steven* already ha* played more games than many court performers in the country will play In thet entire season. To date, the local youth—he Is still in his 'teens -has played in a total of thirty j six games in forty-four basket-ball ; night*. Ha started the season on Dec. j 4 with tho Merchants Heat and Light five at Huntington, and last night played j hi* thirty-sixth game with the SliortridgAlumni at Tomlinson Hall. It has been | tlfty-two days since his first game, and subtracting eight Sundays from this I number leaves forty-l'our playing nights ; Stevens ha* played sixteen games with > tho Merchants Heat and Light five, six j with the Y. M. 11. A., eight with the j South Side Turners, five with the Junior Chamber of Commerce, one ebefore 'lie j Federal League opened, and one with the ! Shortridge Alumni. PROBABLY OVER THE 4(W MARK. His lowest possible point estimate is ten per game, which gives a total of 300 tor the season. However, it Is probable that he has scored more than 400 points, as it is a poor night in which he scores only five fieid goals. Then, too, his many foul gouls are not counted In this esti mate. He tosses all foul throws for the Junior Chamber, the Mwehants. when Johnson is not along, and sometimes for the Turners. Stevens is not what one would call n flashy player, one who Is good one or two nights and off on other*. Ho is Just as good at one time as another, and the; harder the game is, the better he like* it aud the fuster ho travels. Stevens Indiana, Purdue, Wabash and Notre Dame Grads Plan to Attend Games Indianapolis alumni of Wabash. Notre Dame, Indiana and Purdue are going to do some "special car" traveling during ; the latter part of this week. Thursday night, the Wabash and Notre j Dame old grads plan to charter a spe- j olal lnterurhan and travel to Crawfords- I vlile to witness the Wahisli-Notre Dame basket battle. The rival clans are striv lug to outdo each other In numbers, ns they figure on doing a lot of rooting and one side doesn't want to let the other slip anything over on it. For information regarding the Ora wfordsville trip call I.eo Welch at Main 1531. Indiana and Purdue alumni of Indianapolis are trying to organize a large enough party to warrant making the trip to Lafayette Friday night for the I’ur-dtte-Indlaua game in a special car. As yet the party is too small. Purdue alumni who desire to make the trip should get in touch with Emmett Hall, City Trust building, by Thursday morning and Indiana alumni are requested to communicate with Dale Crittenberger, Odd Fellow building. Thursday morning will be the extent of time allowed. Lewis Will Look Strange in Washington Uniform It will seem decidedly strange to fanI doni to see Duffy Lewis—dependable Duffy—cavorting about the American ! League circuit ns a member of Clark ; Griffiths' Nationals. A year or so ago | Miller Huggins was enthusiastic enough | about Lewis to swap a box-car load of | players and a wad o’ coin for Lewis. [ Now Hug has decided Bobby Both will be of more use to hitn than both Duffy Lewis and George Mogridge. Lewis was born In San Francisco April 18, 1888. Ho started lit* pro career with [ the Alameda team in the California State League in 1907. The next year he went to Oakland and the following season was bought by tho Beil Sox.

Franklin Fans Confident FRANKLIN, Ind., Jan. 25.—Following the victory over Bedford last week the attention of the followers of the Franklin High School team has turned to the game with Anderson to be played tomorrow night at Anderson. Many fans are going to make the trio with the team. Although Andersou defeated the local crew earlier in the season, n Franklin victory is expected. The team’s Hour work ami passing has Improved and an entirely different line-up will be pitted against Anderson than the one that faced the Madison County five before. Frank Bancroft Retires CINCINNATI, Jan. 25. Frank Behle, for many years prominent In som-pro and amateur baseball circles In this city, will succeed tho veteran Frank Bancroft as business manager of the Cincinnati National League Baseball Club. This announcement was made Monday by President August. Herrmann. Bancroft will be retired ou a substantial pension as n. reward for his thirty years of faithful service. Maranville’s Terms BOSTON, Jan. 25.—“ Rabbit” Maranvllle, Boston shortstop, is ready to go to Pittsburgh, he announced today. If “things are fixed up satisfactorily with both clubs.” Tho “flxiug,” he Indicated, will be a slice of the purchase money to lino his own pockets. Boston is to get two outfielders and an infielder in the deal. AKRON PROS WIN.

RAPID FIRING TOURNAMENT - CLAYPOOL BILLIARD PARLORS Hotel Basement—Commencing Wednesday, Jon. 26, at 10 a. m. Open to all comers—no one barred. Every one invited. Something new and of interest to lovers of Pool and Tlilllards. Bo sure to see this. Gene Henning, o*-.State Champion, will also play. ,

('doesn't need a “feeder” to help him I register his points. He can go out into the toughest scrimmage and break through for points under the closest guarding. Given half a chance at either a long or short shot from any angle of 1 the court, he is almost a safe scoring i bet. He has probably the best “basket I eye" of any forward In Indianapolis. “Hank” scored his highest single game Point total in the Turner-Ferndale game .it Turner gym Saturday night, getting eighteen field goais for thirty-six of his [ team's points. ; On Monday night, Jan. 17, “Hank” j played at Washington with the Mer- | chants and scored fourteen points; Tuesday at Salem he scored twenty-two; Thursday at the Y. M. C. A. with the 1 Chamber of Commerce he registered a total of twenty-eight, and Friday at Huntington he scored twenty-two of twenty-nine Merchant points. Add these points to his Turner total Saturday night and you have him scoring 122 points in pne week. This perhaps is nothing short of a record. IN FIVE GAMES THIS WEEK. Stevens is slated in five games this wee.c, Deluding last night’s with the Shortrii.ge alumni team. One with the Merchants, one with the Chamber and two with the Turners. *r' on , I, h lans probably wonder why Hank plays w'th several different o.ubs. 'The best possible solution of this problem is that he likes to play basketbail and he doesn’t cure much who he plays with, just so he plays. In the coming independent tournament he will perforin with the South Side Turners. Running not a great many' laps behind “Hank" ii the number of games played is his 1 .t’.'T “Tubby.” The latter has played all. games with the Merchants, Chamber of Commerce and the Turners, but has not played with the Y. M. H. A. “Tubby” is a hack guard and during the present season has developed Into one of Hoosierdom’s best men at this position. He also is a long shot expert and generally comes up to score when his team need* points. “Tubby" can he counted on to get nine out of ten shots off Ills backboard and If "Hank" is not being guarded too | closely the brothers work their famous "end to end" pass, In which “Tubby” shoots the hall the entire length of the court to "Hank." who is stationed under ■he basket and can generally ring up j two points on the play. Jack Dempsey Stands , Out Much Different From Other Champs NEW YORK, Dec. 29. —Jack Dempsey, j king of the world's heavyweights, wa* ! in tho center of a buzzing group of ; scribes during one of the early confer- j enees for the Dempsey-Carpentier bout. | “(billed you up at it o’clock last night. . but couldn’t get you,” one of the scribes I said to him. “Eleven o'clock?" the big champ n-| swered. “No wonder you could get me. j I'm between the sheets every night at ten.” Ho wasn’t talking for publicity—he ' doesn't need a press agent. He was telling the truth. Dempsey is sn unusual heavyweight champion. Success hasn't turned his head; temptation hasn't felled him.
