With such a schedule of meetings to bo disposed of and dozens of magnates and managers who will take no part in the sessions hanging on the fringe of the confabs, it Is no wonder the basebaU ■wiseacres are expecting some momentous doings. _ The International League, according to reports. Is prlmarUy Interested in the transferring of a pair of franchises. The ■ Syracuse franchise very likely will be transferred to Montreal and a syndicate with plenty of backing will make an offer for the Jersey City club with the idea cf placing it in Providence. fu view of the fact that the Internatoinal magnates are said to be solidly opposed to the drafting of players, it was not believed the league would take up the questions, preferring to leave any such matter to the minor league commitTho Brooklyn Dodgers are said to have a deal on with Cincinnati that involves Zach Wheat and Ivy Wingo. Pittsburgh may-ssell Rabbit Maranville for players ana cash, while the Cardinals may dispose of Milton Stock. Another trade rumor invoices a big deal between Washington and the New York Yankees by Which Griffith would give Huggins, Outfielder Same Rice and First Baseman Joe Judge In exchange for Shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh ana some other players.

New York University boasts of having an unkissed football captain. What’s the use of being captain In a case like that! Come out to tho Hoosier State, brother, and you won't be overlooked. Pitcher Ray Caldwell, who couldn’t stay on the straight and narrow while with Cleveland when it had a chance for tho American League pennant last season, has signed by the Kansas City Blues . Manager Knabe certainly must have great confidence in his ability to steer a wabbly craft. It’s unfortunate that Notre Dame and Centre College grid teams are not going to flash at San Diego, as seemed to be a certainty a few days ago. Just think what those coast natives are going to miss! Not only the grid fans will be disappointed, but the Pacific slope band masters won’t have the pleasure 01 striking up “On the Banks of the Wabash” and “My Old Kentucky Home. Coach Walker of De Pauw proposed a De Pauw-Wabash freßhmen team basket-ball game and those frisky Little Giant yearlings didn’t do a thing but accept the invitation, go down to Oreencastle and slip over a 29 to 9_ victory. And thus was born Pete \ aughan s Frisky Five. In filing his campaign expense account an Akron (Ohio) man defeated tn the November election for Justice of the peace, reached into the Bport world for a snappy phrase to meet his case. Hls report read: “Received nothing; spent nothing; got nothing.” In other words, lie did It In nothing flat! A New York magistrate also delved into sports language in handing out warning to a drinker of bootleg liquor brought before him. Said the Judge: “Last night you landed In the station house. Today vou land In court. Tomorrow If you continue to drink that stuff, you will land in Bellevue Hospital, and the next day you will land In the morgue, l our and you’re out!”

He 1* one of the smoothest working forwards ever seen In this cit> and is safe to be a thorn In the side of some Crimson guard. Another player who has appeared on local courts is Kenzler, who will Jump at center, tans who saw last season's independent net tourney will recall the South 'Bend I pivot man. He was given all-State honors in most selections of the mythical team. He Is a fast, heady player who Is equally good on the defense and offense He was captain of the strong South Bend Y. M. C.

Landis Gives Reasons for Barring Benny Kauff jfBIY YORK, Dec. 12. —In answer to the suit instituted in the Supreme Court by Benny Kauff, seeking reinstatement, Judge K M. Landis, through his attorney S John Conway Toole, made public his reasons for placing the former- New York Giant outfielder on the ineligible ** S The commissioner of basball said be had read the testimony on which Kauff had h een found not guilty of stealing automobiles but that “the evidence disclosed' a state of affairs that more than seriously compromises your character and reputation.” “The reasonable and necessary result of this is that your mere presence in the line-up would inevitably burden patrons of the game with grave apprehension as to its integrity,” Landis continued. These statements were made In a letter written to Kauff on Aug. 25 and which was presented as an exhibit. In answer to the suit Landis said, “Kranff could not bo restored to good standing without impairing the morale of other players, and without further injury to the good name of professional basebalf.”

BASKET-BALL

It seems that it would be more busi-ness-like for the Indianapolis ball club to put more money In ball players rather than in coaches. St. Petersburg, Fla., is now lamenting the fact that Indinnupolis didn’t choose that spot for its 1922 Spring camp. Apparently the St. Petersburg officials were so busy pitching horseshoes that they let Marlin slip up on them. If you don’t think people can go bugs over horseshoe pitching. Just take a trip to Bt. Petersburg. Prom dawn to dusk, they pitch, and then they continue to toss ’em by moonlight. But let Marlin tell what a wonderful spot it is, according to Marlin. Get ready, here ’tis: Marlin Is located in the center of, Texas. Thriving city; paved streets, electric lights, fine water supply, sewerage and other conveniences. Four banks, two national, two State. Two railways. Main lines of communication with great markets of State and port of Huston, which furnishes wonderful outlet by water to markets of the world. Marlin has hottest and deepest artesian mineral wells in the world. The greatest health resort In the South. Commodious hotels. Bath-houses finest In the South, with capacity of 1,000 patients a day. Most famous in treatment of rheumatism. Marlin is situated in the center of the great oil district of Texas, only thirty miles from the famous Mexia oil fields. One of the finest baseball training grounds in the South. Isn’t that fair enough for ono town? The Hoosiers certainly ean't'klck If all that is true, it looks us though about the only trouble that will face the Indians will be to keep from purchasing oil stock. G. A. Priagie Is secretary of the Marlin Chamber of Commerce, and we will say that we certainly have got to hand it to Mr. Pringle when it comes to boosting his city.

Dent Five Springs Surprise on L U. and Wins , 31 to 24 Local Team Starts Work for Two Contests on Week’s Card. Following the 31 to 24 victory over Indiana University at Bloomington Saturday night, the ludlana Dental College basket-ball squad today started work for two hard games this week. The Dentals meet Muncie Normal at Muncie Thursday night and North Manchester College at North Manchester Friday night. The Muncie team Is far stronger this year than last, while North Manchester boasts of the strongest quintette in Its history. The Dentals have played five games this Beason, winning them all. The Dentals defeated the Indiana Law College, 28 to 10, downed the Huntington College twice by scores of 19 to 11 and 24 to 14, piled up a 53 to 21 score on the Eastern Illinois State Normal team at Charleston, 111., and Saturday won a fast game from Indiana University by a 31 to 24 score. In the Indiana game the Tooth Pullers got the jump on the State university athletes. McPherson tossed a foul goal and a second later Sanford scored a foul goal for Indiana. Then the clever little Reeves caged a field goal and the Dentals were started, having gained a lead that Indiana never overcame. The Indianapolis team played not only a fast passing game and found the basket regularly, but also fathomed tbelr opponents’ offense In such a way that only occasional bursts of speed In which Indiana's short passes featured, made it possltle for Indiana to score. Eight field goals were Indiana’s limit, the remainder of that team’s points resulting from foul goal tosses. Sanford scored eight and missed five foul goals. McPherson scored seven and missed live foul goals for the Dentals. Thomas of Indiana seemed much Interested In Ileakyne of the Dentals, as the two men had played on the same tiam In high school. Thomas followed Deakyne all over the floor, but the Dental forward twice caged tho ball for field goals and then began feeding the ball to his teammates. Reeves did the long end of the Scoring for the Tooth Pullers, dropping the ball In the nets nlna times. At center Indiana almost always got the tip off, but McPherson, Deakyne and Witter got the ball most of the time and the Indiana team gained little advantage from getting the jump. The first half ended with the score: Dentals, 17; Indiana, 10. The Dentals, accustomed to a small floor, fulled to melt on the big floor and seemed to be mnsters of the situation Ht all times. O. Mathew, back guard on tho Tooth Pullers, broke up the short passing game of the University players time and again. Then Witter, McPherson, Deakyne and Reeves alternating the style of play from long to short passing types of offense, worked tho bull to scoring distance and dropped the ball through the circle. At one time the Dentals had an eleven-point lead. Still Indiana only fought the harder and Buckner and Crowe fought desperately to halt the speedy Tooth Pullers Indiana's goal shooting was not consistent. Indiana’s t4am scored but two field goals In the first half. Substitutes were sent In for the Dents In the last minutes of play. Reeves was forced out after he had collided with Mathew of his own team and suffered a cut on the forehead. Fleener, who went in for Reeves, showed well.

BUTLER, 34; C. OF €., 29. Butler defeated the Chamber of Commerce five Saturday night In a close game by the score of 34 to 29. The Commerce five boasted an imposing line-up of all-star*, but tho Pagemen finally came out on top largely due to the added fight rut Into the Irvington squad when Black was sent Into the game at about the middle of the second half. How any one Is going to keep the former Tech player out of the game Is hard to fathern. He showed more scrap along with real ability in the short time he was in than had been seen up to hl3 appearance on the scene. Middlesworth looks liko a better bas-ket-ball player than he was last season. Hooker is tho same clever forward. He got five baskets In the forty minutes of play. The Butler team on Saturday looked much better with Leslie at center, although Campbell of the Chamber of Commerce five was enabled to get the tip-off. The weak spot of the Butler combination appears to be the back guard position. Campbell, Hinkle and F. Coffing showed well for tho local independent squad. DE PAUW IN VICTORY. GREENCASTLE, Ind..

The opening oasket-ball scrap for the Wabash net players will be staged at Tomlinson Hail, Indianapolis, next Wednesday night when the Little Giants hook up with the Junior Chamber of Commerce five there, according to an announcement by Coach Vaughan. This game, which was only tentative, has been decided upon and the Scarlet outfit will be ready to put up a classy brand of basket-ball Although Vaughan lias been working with his athletes for only a little more than a week, they are beginning to show some of last season’s form and should be in fair condition when they take on the Indianapolis team. Capt. Grater and Burns will probably start at guards, Goldsberry will no doubt jump at center, while Adam will hold down one of the forward positions. Thorn or Shelley, of last years ,outfit, or Crane, a freshman, will likely start at the other forward berth. The showing of the Wabash freshman team in its 29-to-9 defeat over the De Pauw yearlings last week has given basket-ball hopes another boost nere. Several freshmen on the squad “went ■big” In the clash with the Tigers and they are in line to make a hard try for positions on the varsity. Peare, rangy center, hit the net seven times from the field and looked good, while Rill and Crane were the speed men at floor work. This Is the same Roll who tore off that thirty-seven-yard run for a touchdown against the old rivals at Washington Park last month after he had previously plowed the line for another touchdown.
