But though he Is 86 years old, the champion stands In a class by himself as a master boxer and bis chances of retaining the title are so | well thought of that he has been made s Substantial favorite in the betting to defeat Lewis on points.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKET GOSSIP

Tech will make a tremendous effort to -stop her downward glide this week wheu Coach Black takes his men into foreign territory for a brace of contests. The east siders will hook up with Thorntown tomorrow night, and since the Boone County five has made anything but an Impressive showing tills year tho dope favors the local* to get back on the right side of the ledger in this game. Lebanon will be the next stopping place of the Green and White, as the high school team of that place will be tackled Saturday night in what would ho one of the feature games of the season on the Tech curd. Lebanon has been one of the pace-setters lu the high school basket race this year and they are recognized as or.e of the four or live best teams In Hooslerdom. A recent win over Franklin on the Franklin court is one of the achievements of the ex-State champions.

Shortrldge will also confine the week to activities of foreign endeavor* the Blue and White being carded to play two games this week, both out of town. Bloomington will bo ployed Friday and (lolltic Saturday. Bloomington also is one of the top notchers this year and particular Interest Is attached to the Sbortridge game by local fans because Tech recently humbled the Monroe Countyaggregation. The dope, however, doesn t look a bit favorable to the Blue and White, as Rochester, the five that downed Shortrldge In such a decisive way Sat urday, has been beaten badly by Bloomington. Oolitic, the. other Shortrldge opponent for the week, is unusually strong this year and they will push the locals to the limit for the decision. The down State athletes annexed their eleventh consecutive victory Saturday. Manual will entertain the home fans this week, meeting Bedford Saturday at the lucul "Y.” Tech nos.-d out Bedford by a one-point margin early in the season, and on this account the showing of the Manualites Saturday will be noted with particular Interest. Coach Morr son’s men apparently have at last struck their stride, if wins over Martinsville and the Terre Haute schools can be taken as Indications, and the present pace of the Red and White is beginning to look bad for the other local schools with the sectional only a few weeks distant. One critic this morning paid quite * compliment to the Shortrldge five when he taid: “It was a dirty shame that Rotliesttr should stop Shortri lge right in the midst of a winning streak.” This “winning streak” cons.sled of one victciy over Brownsburg. After a run of ten straight Tech scratched twice last week, falling before Martinsville Wednesday and Steele High of Dayton. Ohio, Saturday. These two defeats were a big disappointment to followers of the Green and White, as the pace set by the east siders prior to last week bade' fair to place them upon the top rungs of the rating by tournament time. Martinsville beat Black’s five, 45 to SO. while the Steele game was much harder fought, the final count being 16 to 15. Inability to hit the basket resulted In the defeat at the hands of Steele. Tech was shut out In the first h If, the score at the rest period being 7 to 0, and In this session the locals had five shots at the busket to Steele’s one. Manual, In trimming the Terre TTaute schools last week, followed the example set by Tech. Tech beat them by about the same margin, while Shortrldge lost to Garfield after trimming Wiley. Shortrldge, although defeated by Rochester Saturday, 46 to 24, performed In a creditable manner. Rochester looked about ns good as any team that

BLUES BID FOR MAJOR TALENT K. C.’s Seek Pitchers to Round Out 1921 A. A. Pennant Hopes. By .TACK BELLMAN, Special Correspondent of Tho Times. KANSAS CITY, Feb. 7.—With two pitchers, a catcher and a shortstop to be sent here by major league clubs and the remainder of the line-up Intact, the Blues hope to be a figure lu the 1921 pennant scramble. Just who the new players are cannot be divulged at this time for fear publicity given to the proposed deals would act as a detriment. There is little love between the majors and the two big minors, the A. A. and the International. Rejection of the draft Is responsible for the existing animosity. Just as soon ns waivers are received on the players lu question their Identification will be made public. We have President Mueblbach’s word for it that they shape up with the best iri the league. In deals completed recently Pitcher Otis Lambeth comes heie in a trade for Outfielder Ward Miller and Pitcher Bono comes by purchase. Both are former American League hurlers and some fans believe they are the twlrlers Owner Mnehlhach lias heen referring to 1n his “gumshoe” deals. The Blues received au offer for Bunny Brief first, baseman and leading home run bitter of the A. A. last year, from a Const League club, but set such a prohibitive figure on him that the deal fell through, as was to be expected. It was just a polite way of saying nothin’ doin’ without coming out fiatfooted. BRANNON GIVES MUCH PROMISE, Announcement from tho Blue proxy that Brief would be on first when the seasons opens sot to rest rumors that he would be passed off to the highest bidder. In Dudley Brannon the Blues have a youngster who has shown great promise as a first sicker. He Is a hard hitter and knows how to perform around the first stop. In the event Brief Is sold, Brannon could step into the breach and give a good account of hlinsolf. If the sbortstopplng assignment Is ns capably handled ns the other Inner posts the Blues will go to th barrier April 13 wl!h a powerful' club With Brief, Artie Butler and George Cochran performing ion the skinned arena, together with the fourth party, the Kaws will show a riojticeable improvement over Inst year’s Inner array. All are masterful hitters end should whang the pill at a merry clip. On the picket line will be found Beals Becker in left, Wilbur Good In center and Eddie Zwllllng In right If this trio doesn't compile better than a .300 average the dope Is wrong. And there’s not three fly chasers on any ether club that can cover the ground this triumvirate is capable of roaming. Aside from the fact that Good is weak on ground balls, no other defect can be. found In their playing. All are portable swingers, but none Is lamentably weak against the side winders. GATHER IN CAMP MARCH L The spring exhibition sohedu’e was Increased to twenty-seven games Inst week when the Cincinnati Reds had their series here extended to four games. Tho Cubs and White g. * No. 2 also disport on the home lot. The players assemble at Monroe, La., March 1, spending ten days at the training base. They’ll then play a raft of gnfnes eu route home. Secretary Savage mailed eighteen contracts Monday. Seventeen players are already In the fold Little trouble la expected with holdouts. According to Muehlebach the term* are liberal in every detail and any player that kicks over the traces win be directed to the train sheds. Very few of the youngsters who show any promise at all will be turned adrift. Secretary Savage has lined up no fewer than four farms” In the bushes and those player* worthy of another trial will lie placed In such a position that they can he recalled at twenty-four hours' notice. More rookies will be taken to tlie training camp this year than ever before. The squad will number well over thirty.

a matter of giving everything for nothing. We could get most uriy player we wanted f r lietnle Groh, but It would avail us nothing to weaken ouo position lo strengthen another. ‘Reuther, Ring, Neale and Rath are gore, but I think the club has been strengthened by the trade which brought Hixey and Marquard to uh. They are two of the best southpaws In tbe league. It Luque’s arm Is In good condition and It should be. we will have uu excellent pitching st ff. “Hargrave Is a finished catcher and he’s bound to make up stroug h*h ! mi the bat, while In Britton we have a youngster who shows promise of becoming a regular from the start. “I'm not talking pennant for the Reds, but neither um 1 worrying about •what they’ll Uo lu the 1021 drive.”

WITH THE INDEPENDENT AMATEURS

A group of the fastest amateur basket | battles that have ever been offered In- ! dianapolls fans was staged In the first I round of the Indianapolis sectional of tha I State amateur meet at the Y. M. C. A. : Saturday afternoon. Six games were ■ played and every one was one worth anybody's time and nickels. The South Side Turners, Traction Terminals, Boy's Club, Deu Zare*, Y. it. H. A. and “Y” Leaders were the winners In the first round and next Saturday afternoon w ill find these teams fighting their second round battles ns follows: Traction Terminals vs. Boys’ Club, Den Zares vs. Y. M. 11. A. and “Y” Leaders vs Turners. The winners of the first and second games then meet to see who plays the Turner-Leader winner* lu | the Tuesday night finals. These second round battles should be : much better than the first, because the six remaining teams are without a doubt the fastest aumieur combinations In In- : dianapolls, and they are paired In a man- | Her to give tho fans tho best possible ! entertainment. Smart of Southport and Franklin of i Tipton didn't do much good for the North Side Vets against the Turners In what proved to be the feature contest Saturday afternoon. The Turners were running right In this contest and they i humbled their cock-sure opponents with u 80 to 16 beating before a packed house. ' The Vets looked good in the first half i of the scrap and went Into the rest period with a 13 to lb advantage, but the south a.dere hit their stride In the second session and held them to a lone field goai and one foul, while "Hank” •Stereos, Underwood and Sec rest were registering a total of twenty six points for the period. ‘‘Hank” counted twenty points for the Turners all by his lonely, getting nine field goals and a brace of fouls. But, you've got to give Wallie 1 Middles worth credit for about half of this total. Wallie i arried the ball under the basket time and time again, only to pass to Stevens, who made the points while the Vets were smothering Wallie ' under a defense. The floor work of ’ Mlddiesworth and Stevens was about as good as anything seen on the Y. M. C. A. : floor this season. I The' unsuccess of South and Franklin of the V> t crew Is easily explained, as Is the reason why the Vets got only one I fleid goal In the second session. "Tubby” ; Btex ens and Brook Sec rest were up to snuff in their guarding. Smart would soon starve to death If he earned his living Jumping center against ’ Red’’ Underwood. It looks like old times to see Slaughter, Prayer, Black and Hawkins sailing under the same flag once more. The members or the 1920 district championship Tech High School team, with Roberson, formerly of Ben Davis, taking Griggs’ place alongside Slaughter, are lighting the Inn Zare battles lu the tournament and doing a mighty good job of It. Thev scored a 20-to-12 win over the Fairbanks Morse squad Saturday and fans art* expecting them to show some class when they tangle with the Y. M. U. A. in the second round this j week. , Wayne Emmelman, manager of the tournament, didn’t know how ma n y friends he bad in this world until he ; stepped out Into the lobby for a breath- | lug spell Saturday afternoon. They ] swarmed around him like bees arounu j honey, such having but one question In mind.’ Got any comps? . If there were any medals to be awarded in this tournament we would give Joe Rosenthal u whole hatidful of them, then pat-ourselves on the back for using such good Judgment. Joe won the admiration of every fan lu the hall Saturday afternoon when he went fourth to battle with the Junior Chamber of Commerce against odds that no other player in the city would battle against. Whan gains time came, there wasn’t a Y. M. H. A. regular around the place, with the exception of Joe himself. However, he took three of the youngest kids in the ball, put them in uniform and was out looking for another “starlight" when Dave Y'avcr, regular “Y. M.” floor guard, came along. This combination then went out and held the Chamber to a 5-to-5 tio In the first half, Joe scoring all points for the Jews, and with Mike Sagalowsky and Mike Rosenthal, two more regulars, In the line-up in the second half, the Y. M. H. A. marched through for a 10-to-ll victory. Our friend Joe played one of the best games he has ever played against the Chamber of Commerce outfit and nine out of ten people who witnessed the game were pulling for him to win. Now that the Y. M. H. A. have weathered the first round, we can rely on them to come back In full force for the later battles. The foul goal throwing of Holmes brought the Traction Terminals a 17-to-15 victory over tho Luuter Club In the opening game. The teams fought an even buttle and had the same number of field markers, but Holmes threw five foul goals for the Tractions, while Hopkins tossed only three for the Lauters. The Turner Actives, who have been hitting a rather speedy clip all season, looked torrtbly slow wheu ■qq.ired off against the Boys’ Club outfit. The count was 20 to 8. The Pottawattkmls couldn’t catch their stride in their contest with the “Y” Leaders and went down to a 26-to-lfl defeat. The "Potts” have un alibi In that they entered the tourney late and some of their regulars, thinking they would not enter, signed with other clubs. Barnum led the Leader attack against the “Potts” asitb tw* a<44 u 4 U

the Reds’ 1919 world's series victory and Neale another star In that championship outfit. Rixey’s work hasn’t attracted much notice, partly because a poor team behind him failed to give him opportunities for showing his real worth.

COLLEGE CARD FOR WEEK HAS BIG FEATURES Purdue-Wabash, De Pauw-In-diana and Other Classy Basket Scraps Listed. BUTLER TO BE ACTIVE The usual number of interesting collegiate basket-ball contests are scheduled In Idiana for this feey. but standing out above all others like a lighthouse on a foggy night are three games that demand the attention of every fan In Hoosierdom. In these all-important scraps Purdue and Wabash meet at CtawfordsviUe tomorrow night, De Pauw and Indiana meet at Bloomington Wednesday nlgnt and Purdue takes on Ohio State at Lafayette Saturday night. Admirers of Pat Page and his speeding Butier basketeera have the ButlerFranklin scrap at Butler Tuesday night and the Butler-State Normal and But-ler-Rose Poly contests at Terre Haute Friday and Saturday night to look forward to. The Pagemen should take these three contests without a terrible lot of hard work. , FANS EXPECT MANY THRILLS. Although the Little Giant proteges of Pete Vaughan all but doubled the eoun against the Boilermakers at Lafayette a short time ago State fans are of the opinion that the rivalry battle at Crawfordsville tomorrow night will be one of the big events of the season, and there will be a lot of them present to see the scrap come off Purdue has had somewhat of an erratic career since losing to the Wabashers. First they showed all the class In the world In handing Indiana a lacing at Lafayette, thereby going Into the Conference lead. Then the tables were reversed slightly and the Boilermakers lost j two successive Conference games to Michigan and Illinois, which leaves them in third place in the Conference stand- | lng. The form displayed by the Boileri makers in their tussle with Indiana has i been absent since that big night, but j i’urdue fans are of tha opinion that their favorites are “duo” at this time and that they will be back on the right track when they make their 1921 visit to the Scarlet court. Little dope Is on the market as a result of the Purdue-Wabash scrap at Lafavette. It Is a known fact that the Scarlet club has found It Impossible to get going right on the Wabasn floor this season and this Is going to handicap them somewhat when they meet the advance of Coach Lambert's athletes. Then again, look at last year’s record book and see what happened. Wabash beat Purdue at Lafayette, then fell easy victims to the Boilermakers at Wabash a short time later. So, all In all, it looks like a good horse race, and a lot of fans are going to be surprised, no matter which side piles up the winning total tomorrow evening. TIGER QUINT ALWAYS dangerous. f The De Pauw Tigers will beat a trail • over to Bloomington and attack the InI diana Crimsons on their own battleground Wednesday night. Indiana, flg- ' ured through any of the numerous dope I channels, should win this contest if they are to show that Western Conference basket ball Is the best In the West, but tha Tigers are a fighting lot and there is no telling what their speed may do. The Wabash victory over De Pauw was gained by a margin of three points, and Hooslerdom is waiting to see What Indiana can do with the Tigers Wednesday night. If De Pauw beats Indiana or Indiana fails to beat De Pauw by more than three points, then the State championship dispute will be all iu favor of Wabash for the time being; that is, if Wabash again stops Purdue Tuesday. A scrap that will affect the Conference standing of the Boilermakers will be staged between them and the Ohio State quintette at Lafayette Saturday night Ruth Indiana and I’urduc have trou*. ed the Buckeyes on their home floor and i t he Lambert athletes should have easy ! sailing against them on the Purdue flooi 1 Saturday night. A defeat in this scrap, however, would just about make it impossible for Purdue to do anything creditable In tbe Conference this season. The rushing three-man defense of tha Illinois basket squad proved more than the Purdue team could handle on tlia Lafayette court Saturday night and the Suckers came through the contest xvith a 31-to-26 victory, landing In the second Conference berth. Purdue’s floor work was probably every bit as good as that of the Illinois combination, but the Hoosiers missed countless shots and then fell down somewhat in their defensive game, at which the visitors also showed considerable class. Facing a ID-to-13 handicap at the start of the second half, the Purdue team rallied and registered five points before Illinois got busy and again steped out to a comfortable lead. Reitsch and Helstrom went best for Illinois in the scoping department, while White led tbe Purdue attack with five field goals and sis fouls. de pauw gives DETROIT BEATING. The terrific drive of the De Pauw combination brought out a 33-to-17 victory over Detroit Junior College in their scrap at Detroit. Cannon, Gipson and Mendenhall fairly burned the court with their speed and had piled up enough points to let Coach Buss send substitutes In their places early in the second period. The Tigers play the Michigan Aggies at Lansing tonight. How the Notre Dame basket tossers ena scramble forward to well-nigh comfortable ltida In the opening session, then slide bact to be handed sound lacings in the second half is becoming somewhat of a mystery to Hoosier fans. In their past four games, two with Do Pauw, one with Western Normal and one with Marquette, the Irish have held first-half leads and came out on the short end of the count In the long run. They suffered their most recent beating at Milwaukee Saturday night, going down before the Marquette crowd, 26 to 19. after holding tho lead at the rest period. Greencastle Cops Meet GREENCASTLE, Ind.. Feb. 7.—Th* Greencastle High School quintette won tha annual county basket-ball tournament held In tho De Pauw gymnasium here Saturday. It was only after a hard struggle that the locals captured tha final game from Russellville by a 19 to 14 score. At tho end of the first period the score stood 9 to 8 for Greencastle. A cup was awarded the local team whllo Russellville received the basketball used in the final game.
