N. Y. Giants Fear Only the Pirates and Reds KEW YORK, Feb. 16.—' The Giant* have only the Red* and the Pirates to fear in the 1621 race,” Charlc* fitoneham. president of the New York Nationals, said here today. ”I>e are the only elub that has Improved all around over last year,” he said. “The Keds have lost slightly In batting strength, are no better in pitching and weaker on the defense. The Pirates ore strong In pitching, ratchlug and defense, but weaker In hitting. “Brooklyn Is aboht the same as last year. They were lucky to win and I don’t believe they ran repeat. "The Giants are better In pltehing. In catching, stronger on the defense and offense, and we have a young, hustling club,” Stouohum concluded.

Ymr counts of the Indictment alleging they conspired to throw the world's teries to Cincinnati In order that they might prepare a defense. The fifth county which claljns the plajr>rs violated their contract with the Sox management by alleged throwing ol Himes, was sufficiently Informative so mat it would not be necessary to furnish icy additional information in regard to .t. Dever said. Attorneys Thomas A. Hearn, Benedict Short and Henry Berger, representing -he players, conrended that the contract oetweea the players and the Sox man.tgenent was good for the playing season inly and that ended on Sept. 28. The mdlctment charges the alleged plot was irranged on Sept. SO—two days after the contract was supposed to have expired. The- judge said the State would have to prove that the players were under eou:ract to the Sox management if they desired this charge to hold. In asking for a separate trial of Buck Weaver, Attorney Short claimed the accused men hnd been "persecuted.” He said the ball players were really being paid only $2,000 a year, when they ware supposed to be getting SIO.OOO. "That's the way these baseball ’magnates' work." he said sarcastically.

Dever said the Information would have to be furnished the defense by March 1, and that the trial would 6tart promptly two weeks later. AKRON ON THE FENCE.

Franklin Is Winner Over Hanover Quint After Hard Tussle Baptists Find Downstaters Worthy Foe, but Decisive Victory Is Scored. By IIEZR CLARK. FRANKLIN, Ind., Feb. 10.— Franklin, j 88: Ilnnover, 27, was the score of the basket-bull game played ut tho Franklin College gymnasium lust night. it was Hanover College's first defeat. Little has been heard of the team from the Ohio River School, and tbe Indianapolis basket-ball fans wanted to know something about Hanover, the team that meets the Indiana Dental College five at the Athenaeum gymnasium, in Indianapolis, Saturday night. Os course, it was known that Hanover had twice defeated the Scottsburg Independents, a team that lost to the KinRoes by a one-point margin; but what the basket ball f. ns really waited to know Is what kiud of a team represents Hanover this year. The followers of the Ir.door game have seen Franklin In action against Butler, but Hanover, away dowu in tlie hills of southern Indiana, has not been hoard from except when an occasional score happened to reach an Indianapolis paper. HANOVER SLOW TO GET START. Had Hanover played basket-ball the first ten minutes last night the downstaters might have won, but the crimsonclad athletes from the Presbyterian school seemed under a spell of stage fright for that fatal ten minutes. Dur lng thnt time Johnny Graham, forward for Franklin, bombarded the basket. Graham, if he can always play like he did that ten minutes, would rank hs the best forward on any college team In the State. Such goal shooting us that man displayed In those ten minutes Is seldom seen In any game. Smart, a giant center on the Franklin team, added to Hanover's trouble by some one-hand shots that dropped In" the nets. Graham scored ten field goals and four foul goals. Then ut the end of ten minutes, wifbtho score Franklin 20, Hanover 4, the Crimson athletes came out of their sleep and played basket-ball. It was not that Franklin let down, for Coach John "Thurber's taara played Just ns hard as before but Ilanover had found Itself and playeJ some real basket-ball. Montgomery, tall, rangy and fast, covered tho floor In a way that stamps him ns one of tlio best centers in the State He was playing In hard luck on his goal ! shooting, but he fed the ball to H. I Powell, a tall forward who seldom nil-sed I nutting the ball In the uets Eight times 1 did tlia forward cage the ball and many I times he did It with a Franklin guard covering him. Hanover's weakest point Is one of its | forwards. The team plays a style of bas- ! ket-ball entirely new to this sectlou of j the country. Hanover Is coached b? a j former Tennessee star and the style of basket-ball used in the South H the J style of teamwork that Hanover uses. There 1* no question but what Hanover has this year by far the strongest basket ball team that ever represented that school. The guards, R. Powe.l and Lewis, are fast and the former Is large nnd poweiful. " What Hanover will do on a small floor reru :. -■ t • be *< n whtjn they appear In Indianapolis Saturday night.

WABASH TAKES GREAT BATTLE Scarlet Athletes Forced to Limit to Conquer Fighting Butler Quint. Wabash College gents who are taught how to play basket-ball by Coach Pete Vaughan showed Indianapolis fans everything they knew about the game last night and crashed through for a 29 to 25 victory over Tat Page's Butler combination on the Irvington floor. Butler had everything to gain and nothing to lose In the game with the State's heralded super five and the Blue and White athletes put their backs to the wall to battle the Scarlet horde with the courage and fury of so many enraged tigers. Never for a moment, even though at times faced with overwhelming odds, did the Irvington clan slow their action and they made the contest one that must be considered along with the Wabash-De l'auw scrap, the Wubash-I’urdue game at Crawfordsville, and the Indiana-De Pauw affair when it comes time/ to put one game dowu on the books as the “season s greatest." SCARLET STEADY YS THE PINCHES. But the more praise you give to Butler, then the more you friust uward to the Wabash athletes. Battling on a strange floor, and under conditions stranger still, the Wabash representatives had to travel at twice tho speed they use when they are at liberty to hit their famous passing stride, and it was only by some cool, heady maneuvering that they were able to hold their heads above water when the Butler rally came sweeping in upon them. • Butler made eleven field goals and three fouls, while Wabash garnered ten field goals, and Goldsberry tossed for nine foul markers. The starring honors of the game go to Hooker and Leslie for Butler, and to Goldsberry and that oft-mentioned Burns Grater guarding duo or Wabash. Hooker and Leslie probably were the class of tbe court In the art of getting their hooks on the ball and firing away nt the basket, but Burns was In there all the time to make them hustle along with their shots, and Grater, besidt s getting Wabash under way In the scoring with a distance field goal, had tha hail nine out of ton times off the back board after Hooker's long shots, and started it back in the direction of the Wabash scoring range, thus wrecking the Butler follow-up hopes. Wabash must beat Butler again before they have the I’agemen all the way off their path to the State championship, anl the next game conies Monday night on the Wabash floor at Crawfordsville. WABASH STARTS AT FURIOUS PACE. Wabash got away so a surprise start on the Rutlerltps and had garnered six points before the locals scored their first field goal. Butler, however, came bark with a heavy wullop and, after a fight that nearly ruined the spectators, tho I’agemen tied the count at 13 all. A timely field £nal ty Goldsberry then gave Wabash a 10 to-13 advantage for tho rest period. The CrswfordsvUle delegation rambled along with a great stride at .be ttart of the second irulon and ran the count ap to 23 and 13 before tho Butlerltes climbed hack In the running It vas Hooker who came to the front for Butlej- and ran the count up to a point that ran a creepy feeling down the spinal column of the visitors. Bnt that fighting combination that •darted Notre Dame down the hill and hHd Just the necessary punch to take De I’nuw and Purdue down the line In terrific battle.*, we* ready for the energoncy and they clung desperately to their lead until the final shot was tired, / Hooker, who did much of his shooting from hi* favorite side line position half way down the floor, registered seven field goals for Butler Leslie and Dyklns each counted two field goals, and Ilookar completed the scoring with three foul throws. Dlederl'h was playing a smart guarding game for Butler until he went out eariy lu lira socoud half with four personals.

Turners Defeat Old South Side Rivals in Amateur Finals After ft battle In which more hittpr rivalry was shown than in any other content of the tournamefft, the South Side Turners flashed to tbe front last night to enrry off the championship pennant in the Indianapolis sectional "f tbe State independent amateur banket-ball tournament, by virtue of a 35 to 24 win over the 4’. M. ii. A In the final game on the Y. M. C. A floor. The Jewish bovs put up a stubborn fight through every second of what proved to he a game of the knock-’eni-dowu-drng-’em-nut variety, but the Turn or*, taking orders from the sttndy “Tubby” Stevens, back guard, were too smart for them, and today they stand with an undisputed claim to tho amateur championship laurels of Indianapolis The Y. M. 11. A. copped a lead at the aturt of the fray and it looked as though tbe Turners would have to come back with another one of those last-minute spurts, but they were running true to form before the first session closed and when resting tinio was called they carried a 20 to II advantage. The tenuis came back to stage almost a duplicate of the opening performance in the second session, with the exception that the Jewishers were never able to show their heels to their old rivals as they did for a while in the beginning. There were hardly any individual stars in the Turner line-up. Every man >n the team whs working like a part of some machine and they had their opponents blanked nt every turn. It ee led. in the scoring with five field goals and nine fouls, bnt Middlesworth and Under wood were only a step behind him In the field goal department. Mike anil Joe Rosenthal divided the scoring honor for the Y. JiL H. A. with three field throw* each. Franklin Meets Bedford FRANKLIN. Ind., Feb. 16.
