Wolfe, Wampler's running mate, en joyed a large evening with eleven field tosses. He hit from ail angles. Jones, back guard for Vincennes, thrilled the crowd by registering a circus basket. He leaped and tossed and in it went. Howe went best for Colnmbns, five field baskets being scored by this flashy forward.

YANK BOSSES NOT WORRIED Pitching Strength Expected to Make Up for Weakness in Outfield. NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—Falling to secure a competent fly chaser, the New York Yanks will have to flounder around uni 11 May 20, with a makeshift outfield. While Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel are doing time, Miller Huggins probably will have to send Waliy Sehang to the garden and rely on young A1 Devormer behind the bat. Perhaps Jim Dunn, president of the Cleveland Indians, wasn’t Just talking for home consumption when he said he wouldn’t concede the Yanks a thing in the next pennant race. The situation is not regarded as critical in New York, however. Manager Huggins counts five star pitchers on his fingers and remarks that an outfield is not so necessary if they can't hit ’em out there. Possible absence of Harry Harper, who may get a leave for the season on account of private business and the gamble on the rookie “Lefty” O’Doul. will put the American League champions in a bad way for southpaws, but the club went through to a pennant last season without portside hurling. On paper it looks like the Yanks ought to breeze through to a pennant, but the race may develop into most any ones. Washington, Boston and St. Louis have added strength since the close of last season. It wc/uld not be a shock to see the Senators up around the top from the start and any club that boasts of the stick strength in the Red Sox line-up can be taken lightly. If Dave Davenport lives up to expectations the Browns ought to give the present champions all they are looking for in the way of opposition. The Cleveland Indians cannot be counted out of the race. Tris Speaker’s lineup isn’t over-impressive, but Speaker always has a fighting bail team and spirit means much. If the champions of 1920 should happen to find a good rookie pitcher, one of Speaker’s tough problems would be solved. Ty Cobb needs some pitchers end a shortstop. Before the season opens he may be able to make some kind of a deal with the Yankees for Johnny Mitchell, the California star who spent last i-eason on the bench and who is In line for the same duty this year. Normal Beats Rose TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. Feb, 9—The Indiana State Normal basket five defeated the Rose Poly quintet Wednesday night in the second game of the city collegiate series, 31 to 22. The Engineers led the scoring in the first period of tho game, 11 to 7, but the work of McClanahan in the early part of the last period offset the small lead held by the Engineers.

PROGRAM AT FORT ALL SET The main feature of the boxing show to be held at Ft. Harrison tonight will be a colored battle royal, which will be composed of seven dark-skinned huskies who will enter the ring and fight until all but one is eleminated. This part ol the entertainment is being staged by the Fort Club at the request of the many boxing fans who attend the fort show each week. To the winner of the battle royal will be given a purse large enough to assure a real scramble. In the main eight round go of the evening Young Joe Rivers, the idol of Ft. Harrison and claimant to the middleweight championship of the State, will meet Joe Walters, well-known boxer, who hails from Columbus. Wulters is not a newcomer in the ring.

Harrison athletic department. In the semi-windup of six rounds at 140 pounds Teddy Dixon, the Morristown boy who has won himself a place in the hearts of local fans by his recent victories at the fort, will meet Battling Morrelas of Ft.
