Indians Add Young First Baseman for Trial in Southland Richard Attreau, Chicago Semi-Pro, Comes Highly Recommend ed. The Indianapolis ball club obtained a candidate for the first base Job today when Manager Hendricks secured the signature of Richard Attreau to a 1921 Tribe contract. This young player was Upped off to Hendricks by a veteran umpire in one of the Chicago city leagues and, according to the nice things said of the rookie, he apparently is ripe to make a bid for regular employment In Class A circles. The addition of Attreau will aid the Indians In their spring training at Crowley, La, to a great extent because Tex Covington, veteran first sacker, usually Is slow in rounding into form. Last season when Covington was out Eddie Zwilling generally got the first base assignment, but Eddie will not be present this year and Manager Hendricks believed it a wise move to sign an understudy for Tex. The signed contract of Catcher Andy Smith was received at the Washington park offices today. Smith performed in the South Atlantic League last summer and is cald to be a whale with the bat. Manager Hendricks selected the 1921 Tribe uniforms Tuesday and it is believed that he showed excellent taste in the dress. The color scheme is to be black and white. The home uniforms will be white with a black "I” inserted in a diamond above the breast pocket on the shirt. The caps will be black, belts the same and the sox black with white stripes. The road uniforms will be gray with the word "Indians” blocked in black across the front of the shirts.

SHORTRIDGE ALUMNI WIN. Wftllie Middlesworth is "gain a hero In the eyes of Shortridge High School students and alumni. Waliie played a whale of a game for the Blue and White combination In thy Shortridge-Tech alumni game at the Y. M. C. A. last night and further distinguished himself by tossing the winning basket In the closing seconds of overtime play. The final count was 36 to 34. Fans who missed the almnl battle last night missed the most exciting game that has been played on a local floor this season. Students and old grads of the two schools crowded the hall and they were kept in a continuous uprbar by the speed of the game and the closeness of the score. The lead switched fioiu one side to the other ten times during the scrap, and the count was tied seven times. The half ended with the score 16-all. After a hot scrap for the first fifteen minutes of the second session Shortridge slipped away to a six-point lead, and appeared on an easy road to the victory, but four distance shots in rapid succession by Brewington, Mendenhall, Slaughter and Black gave Tech the advantage until “Tubby" Stevens came through with a basket that ran the score into a 32-to-32 tie in the regular playing time. Slaughter scored first for Tech in the overtime session on one of his famous long shots. Born then tied the count for Shortrid ge on a follow-in shot, and after three more minutes of fast going, Middlesworth connected from the center of the floor for the Blue and White victory. Middlesworth, with six field goals, was the individual star of the contest. Other members of both teams divided the pointgetting honors about evenly.

Mounce was the only Production shooter who could cross the double century line, but bis club was plenty good enough to win three from the Lynch Specials.

Indiana Wrestlers Out to Defeat Gary for A. A. U. Laurels Numerous Mat Stars Entered in State Meet at Bloomington Thursday. BLOOMINGTON, Tnd., Feb. 23.—Everything is in readiness for the Indiana State A. A. U. wrestling championships, which will begin here tomorrow morning under the auspices of Indiana University. Crimson matmen took but light exercise today in preparation for the contests. While the Gary Y. M. C. A. team ap pears to be perhaps the strongest team entered in the tournament, Indiana Uni verslty wrestlers are determined that a large part of the bacon will remain in Bloomington after the final count is made. There is little possibility that Capt. John Moore of Indiana will wrestle. He is working lightly, but the twisted knee which he received in the Northwestern meet recently probably will keep him out of action for at least three weeks longer. Crimson followers of wrestling base th-ir hopes on ex-Capt. “Ted" Mumby, 170 pounds, who has never been thrown; Stanley, 115 pounds, who ha* not been defeated this year, and O. M. Ratcliff, 125 pounds, who has won every mhtch he has entered, including three Conference meets, on falls. George E. Schlafer, assistant professor of play and recreation in the university, has announced that arrangements have been completed to have presented to each winner a gold medal. The tournament will be completed Friday evening.

‘Cannonball’ Baker Said to Be Feeling Lure of 500-Mile Speed Event

With fifty-two trans continental trips hanging to his belt, "Cannonball" Baker has set bis eye on the plum of money and fume to be cut at the ninth international 500-mile race to be held ut the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Monday, May 30, according to the latest word of the winter speedT dopesters. Officials at the speedway office would neither confirm nor deny the rumor today. but they admitted tmt the story might have some foundation. The rumor does not connect Baker with any cur lit particular and there seems to be untold secrecy connected with the story. There are a number of, American cars not yet entered and it is expected that Baker may be nominated to pilot, one of these cars. “Cannonball” Baker, although he Is a national speed character, has never driven ut the Indinnapolls track but has displayed great nerve and daring tn his dashes across country in automobile and aboard motorcycles llia longest Jaunt was In 1915 when he piloted a Stitt* from Ban Diego to New York, a distance of 1X724 mll'-s, in eleven days, seven hours ami 13 minutes. Baker’s experience In his long and tedious drives would si and him w ill In a 500-mile spin over the bricks of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, for it takes endurauce to keep a foot on the throttle and hurtle a racing car around the famous two and one half mile oval "Cannonball" Inis surely qualified himself as a hound Tor driving punishment and he has numerous admirers here who would like to see him face the starter with the select list of the world's most fatuous rare pilots. Baker has several weeks in which to file Ills entry with the speedway management. Horseshoe Meeting Members of the City Horseshoe pitching Association will meet In the of-fl-’ts of the recreation department at the city hftli on Wednesday evening, March 2. W. Iter Jarvis, city recreation director, believes that at least twenty-five or more clubs ure available for the coming s-ason and ho urges all Interested to have representatives at the meeting. The ns'octatlon at present boasts of a membership of twenty-five clubs. City tournaments will be staged the coming season and there is also a move being mado to hold a State event.

STATE BASKET PLAY TOMORROW Amateur District Champs to Open Three-Day Tourney on ‘Y* Floor. Three highly interesting scraps will open the State finals of the Indiana amateur basket-ball tournament on the Y. M. C. A. floor tomorrow night. Ia the first contest, starting at 7 o’clock, the Pendleton and Fairland teams will clash, tlhe Joy-Glooms meet the Westport combination in the 8 o'clock contest, and the South Side Turners take on the Terre Haute "Y” five in the third contest. Play will be carried on through Friday and Saturday, the final contest being carded for Saturday afternoon. Local fans are showing more interest in the tourney games this year than they did last season, as Indianapolis is represented by one of the strongest amateur combinations ever registered out of this city and it is thought that the former high school stars have a fine chance of getting away with the winners' honors. The Turners, representatives of Indianapolis, will face a real test tomorrow night when they stack into the Terre Haute Y. M. C. A. team. The Terre Haute outfit is one of a classy record and it is felt that the Turners will have little trouble getting to the finals if they can win their first game. The Joy-Gloom team of Broad Ripple is another outfit that will have the support of Indianapolis fans. These youngsters copped the Valley Mills district championship without much trouble and should also put up a great sciap in the State race. The Ripple athletes will meet with some real opposition in their fust game against Westport, but they should come around with the big score. Tickets for the championship games are on sale ut all local sporting goods stores and early sales indicate that large crowds will witness the games.

Shortridge Fans Have Big Time at Franklin, Despite Loss of Game FRANKLIN, Feb. 22—Franklin High School overwhelmed Shortridge of Indianapolis last night by a 42-to-8 score bfor an audience that packed the Franklin College gym. Three special ears brought 200 rooters from the cnpital citv and a parade was staged by the Indianapolis fans prior to the game, led by the Shortridge Saxophone Band. Riley, for Shortridge, aeeounted for six of his team's points, cagtng two field goals and making good twice out of six tries from the foul mark. Churchman tossed the other field goal for the Indianapolltflns. To the credit of Shortridge It must be acknowledged that they kept Vandlvter, usually the big point getter for Franklin, from "ruunlug wild,” holding him to four field goals. However, the local star could not be denied on the foul line, missing but one out of ten attempts Late In the game Vandtvler was replaced by King. Frlddle, who was injected into the. line-up near the end of the first half, played a brilliant brand of basket-ball, his field goal from the center of the floor In the closing moment* of the contest bringing the crowd to its feet. Speed, both !n dribbling and passing on the part of the locals seemed to bewilder the Shortridgers, although they fought hard for every minute of the game. Track Tickets on Sale Tickets for the indoor track and field championships (vs the Indiana A. A. U., scheduled at Tomlinson hall for March 2. went on sale at all Indianapolis sporting goods houses today. A large list off the crack Indiana college and club athletes are entered, and the meet Is expected to provide some real entertainment for Hoosler sport followers.

Dentals Back Home After Wild Contest With Rose Machine Tooth Pullers Win Peculiar Game, Each Period Seeing One Team in Slump. Following a 16 to 14 victory over Rose Poly, the Indiana Dentals started work today for the game with Earlham, to be played in Indianapolis Saturday. The Quakers have an early season victory over the Dents, and the Tooth Pullers will try to even up the count with Earlham. Two special interurban cars carried 100 Dental College rooters to Terre Haute yesterday, and the Dentals were also assisted in noise making by the Dental hand. The Dentals did not expect the Engineers to prove easy as some critics had declared, for three men who had been ineligible because of studies were back in the Rose Poly line-up. LONG SHOTS AND CLOSE GUARDING. The game was played on the Y. M. C. A. floor which is 35 by 54 feet in size. The small floor made it possible for long shots to feature in the game. It also made the contest a close-guarding game. Never In the history cf college basketball in the State lias a more peculiar game been played than tn- Dental-Rose affair at Terre Haute last night. The Dentals took an early lead and piled up a 14-to-2 score in the first half. The Dentals completely out-passed and out-played the Engineers in that first period. Tehu Rose Poly staged a comeback in the last half. Watson tossed a gold early in the last half and a minute later Reeve scored for the Dentals. That was the last score the Tooth Pullers made during the game. For eighteen minutes the Dentals failed to cage a goal. During that time the Dentals had plenty of shots, but the bail either refused to stay in the basket or went wild. Rose Poly scored six field goals In the last half and all were from more than half the length of the floor except a close-up toss by Standau. (Continued on Page Seven.)

Feb. 23—Purdue University’s basket tossers killed a pair of birds with one stone last night whan they overcome heavy odds tc> hand Illinois a 29 to 19 defeat, thereby giving j their Hoosler brethren, Indiana University’s court artists, anew tie with Illinois for the Western Conference championship. Ooaxm Ward Lambert tried another Purdue combination last night, and this time he seems to have hit the nail on the head. The Boilermakers last night were a more powerful machine than they have been at any other time this season and the speed and punch that they put in their play, especially during the closing minutes, swept the Illinois men off the.lr feet. Lambert used his famous floor guard, Don White, at forward, and sent Reiser back to do the guarding with Miller. Chaffe teamed with White, and Coiling jumped center. Evergman was substituted for Chaffe early In the scrap, and he and White ran up the Purdue points, w’hile Miller played a thrilling game at his back guard station.
