INDIANS TAKE TULSA SCRAP; HOME TODAY Tribe Plays Cincy Reds Tomorrow on Home Lot After Southern Trip. TEAM LOOKS GOOD TULSA, Okla., April S.—The Indianapolis American Association club made the count two straight Tictorles against the Tulsa Western League team here yt(erday In the last road game for the Indians exhitition tour, winning by a score of 8 to 4. Harry Weaver and Lee Bartlett set the opposition down with rare consistency while the defense and offense of the Indians was winning the game. The victory yesterday gave the Indians their fifth victory out of seven starts during the training period in Texas and in Oklahoma. Owner Smith and Manager Hendricks are confident that the team is in the best condition one could wish for and that it will be in the running for the Association pennant from the start with the best chance in years to be a contender all season. Only five safeties were obtained off the delivery of the two Indian pitchers. Bartlett was hit safely, but on one occasion and the Indians youngster let up, that time. Bartlett was on the mound for the final five innings and the Tulsa club was unable to cross the plate during t*,at period. Weaver also appeared to advantage while working against the \\ estern leaguers and aside from the fourth innin'- when he was unable to control his hook 'ball, the Tulsa boys were equally as timid as they were with Lee Bartlett. ffhe Tribe added three home runs to the'r 1< ng-distance hitting record, Schreiber, K.'ieger and Morrison hiking the I 111 orer the barrier yesterday. Krueger and Morrison nave hit them quite regularly this spring. Baird found his hitting eye yesterday and put over three hits, two of which accounted for two-sackers and came in the midst of scoring. , .. Paddy Bauman again starred for the Tulsa club. The Indianapolis player should help Tulsa this year. The Tribe now Is on the last furlong of the trip home and was to arrive home this afternoon The cltb hustled from the Tulsa ball park to au awaiting Pullman and was on its way home shortly after the Tulsa fans had vacated t** ball yard. NOTES OF THE TRIBE. The Indians have beeD away from Indianapolis since March 5 and have been engaged In continuous practice and prep- | aration work every day since that time with the exception of an occasional half holiday granted them by Manager Hend- . ricks. Only two men at this time are binder the weather end might be called wippied, which include Vernon Spencer aW Eddie Brown, both of whom are out j fleWers. and peculiarly enough, both came 'to the Indians this spring from the New York Giants as a part of the Shinner’s deal with Manager McOraw. Spencer Sustained a torn ligament Id ‘ Galveston two weeks ago and Brown was taken 111 shortly after the Tribe arrived I in Marlin and lias been in uniform but > one day, in nearly three weeks, which ( naturallv, leaves him practically without benefit from the training siege. However, | the big gardener, who is regarded as a player who will lend a great deal of j strength to the Indians in the coming struggle, will not find it hard to get Into shape, he states, and he hopes to be in the opener April 12 when the Saints face the Indians at Washington Park, Spencer, also is showing a speedy recovery. Both Brown and Spencer preceded the Indians to the home diggings by several davs. Other players are in good shape and Manager Hendricks is Jubilant and believes the Indianapolis baseball followers also will give the club generous support. It is worthy of it and represents what many consider the best team Indianapolis has sent in quest of the flag in many years. Cal Cmm, suspended pitcher of the Tribe, paid the Indians a visit at their hotet in Pulsa Saturday. Crum is working In Tulsa and appears to be in good health. He was one of the players who jiimp<-d to the Steel League and has paid the penalty by being suspended from playing in organized baseball. Jess Willard atended the Tribe game ji, .., me big Kansas batter was a f- visitor to the player's head- . nnarters. and Is well versed in base- >. iliaiU gave the Indians a hearty as they left Tulsa and shouted of g"i>d luck as the train pulled the station. , SJuK#>ettv had plentv of stuff in Sa:nHSjßgame but the left hander plainly that he teas far from h's best needs a few g 'Od bard pro t'. -e nKjjjgis before be will be aide to pitch in Tulsa was gilt-edged and many tans ueeiared it was far superior tbit of the Cincinnati Beds who played As Tulsa last week.

NET OFFICIALS SUGGEST OPEN MEETING WITH H. S. AUTHORITIES
BY VEDDER GARB. At a recent meeting of the Indiana Basket-ball Officials' Association a plan tjras brought up and discussed that may mean much toward a better understanding between the men who officiate in the-various high school net contests and the coaches and athletic directors who engage the officials. There are always numerous suggestions being offered as to the betterment of the popular Indiana game, not that the bardcourt competition especially needs any drastic changes, but lecause there is always room for improvement, no matter how well any sport Is conducted. The suggestion of the Indiana officials is for a meeting of their organization with the board of the I. H. S. A. A. Just before the basket-ball season starts, preferably in October at the general meeting of the high school association There is nothing that clears up any situation as much as an open discussion of the various problems that come up. It is thought that a meeting between referees and officials of the State association would do much to eucourago a mutual understanding. The basket-ball officials could thus obtain the opinions of the high school authorities on the officiating end of the game, and vice versa, the men who work the games could state their viewpoints. Schedules also could be arranged at this time. It is admitted by all that good, con sclentious, intelligent work by the men with the whistles is absolutely essential for the welfare of the pov ,ar sport. The referee with clear judgment is needed to steer a contest through the forty min ntes of fierce combat. In some cases poor offieiating spoils a good contest. But, on the other hand, If everything does not go Just right, the unthinking fSns usually blame the "goat” whose other name Is "the bum out there ou the floor that don't know nothin’. But there is another side to the question. It is not strange that the referee may think he is not to blame. And stranger still, In some eases, he may not be* There Is a vast difference In the attitude of teams, coaches and fana. Tne attitude of sonjg, !ani la wrong.

YALE, HARVARD, PRINCETON TALK, BUT DON’T GET ANYWHERE
BV IIENK\ FARRELL, NEW YORK, April 3.—Yale, Harvard and Princeton —the well-known “big three," still figure that intercollegiate sport, has to be saved. They differ on methods, but they atrreo that it must be done. Harvard breaks forth with the brilliant idea that the problem could be solved if the plebeian newspaper men could be barred from tbe stadiums at the big games. However, this was passed up when some bright light made it known that several years ago Harvard bad offered newspaper men SIOO if they wouldn't write anything afout the Yale-11 arvarti game. They couldu’t understand why any newspaperman could turn down SIOO cash. It also was pointed out that troops might be needed at the gates to keep out the scribes. Y'alo hasn't had much to say since the head coach came out and said that "common sense instead of high-brow talk" would cure any evils if they did exist. Tad Jones stands high at Yale and the bright minds of the campus could hardly engage in a debate wdth him. Bill Roper also pounced with both feet on some of the big notions the Princeton boys got about cleaning up
Umbles Defeats Donahue in Wrestling Bout at Tomlinson Hall Show Indianapolis can boast of n colored athlete of exceptional ability. This man is I.ce Umbles, who defeated Jack Donahue of Norfolk, Nebraska, "'bite welterweight wrestler. Ihe men met on tbe mat Tomlinson Hall in the main >,o of a wrestling carnival Saturday f'm'blcs, known as "The raitbre," de serves the name as far as aggressiveness i goes but should be called tne eel when his method of escaping from an opponent's hold is described. Donahue, four pounds heavier than the colored welterweight, is a good wrestler, but Lmbles showed speed, cleverness and a knowledge of the mat game that proved | him to be a very dangerous grappler In the first fall Umbles won by ; securing a log scissors and n double wrist lock on Donahue and pinning him to the mat. The time was 36 minutes and 43 seconds. The wrestling was fast during tli entire time and Donahue earlv in the match gained some advantage, but Umbles had a break for every bold and he had strength to escape from bis opponent. As the progressed It was evident that T nudes was file better wrestler. Umbles won the second fall in 12 minutes and L soeonds. with an nrinloek ntnl a leg scissors to pin Donahue's other arm. Y'ietor Brown twice pinned Young Got oh to the mat. Both are white wrestlers. The first fall was in 30 inlnutert and 6 seconds, and the second in 1 minute and 52 seconds. Shorty Burch, a white wrestler, waited too lone to sav “ouch ' and as a result he has a sprained shoulder He lost two falls to Ray Jones, colored lightweight, the first being in 11 minutes and _o seconds and the second in 4 minutes and 53 seconds. GOT TO SHOW SOMETHING. PHILADELPHIA; April 3.—Candidates for positions as managers or I ennsylvania varsity teams will have to undergo mental examinations nud psychology tests, it was announced today.
The man out there on the door can sense it in the atmosphere when Hie audience of fans can see only two teams battling for a game. There are teams that are •’mean”—which take every division with ill grace. The referee is their natural enemy. There are ather fives that accept ns final the judgment of the man running the contest. There are rooters whose chief delight is to "pan” the oft'icial and whose loudness of mouth is only exceeded by their ignorance. There are other rooters who are real sportsmen and take the adverse decisions along with the favorable ones with the same grin. “It's all in the game.” There are coaches who wrangle and haggle over the smallest details and endeavor to brow-bgat officials. There are others who fight just ns hard for the game from the bench, but do it in the fashion of gentlemen. Just who is responsible for the different nttltudesV It is largely up to the coaches; and after the coaches, the principals of the schools. There were inefficient officials in some contests and in the sectional meets over the State in ‘he past season. On the other hand, there were unsportsmanlike players an 1 crowds. All of this can be corrected. The plan of the Indiana Association of Basket-ball Officials for a meeting, *f adopted, will go a long way !n bringing about a clear understanding of both sides of the matter. The board of control of the I. H. S. A. A. has in the past left the question of officials too largely to run along in hit-cr-miss fashion. A communication has been sent to the board of control hv the officers of the Officials’ Association suggesting n meeting of referees and high school authorities. A general circular has been sent out by .Secretary Treater to all members of the I. H. S. A. A. In regard to the question of*officiating. The matter will ice brought up at the next board meeting. There ia nothing that will clear up the situation to such an extent as a grand get-together meeting in which the whole thing can be “thrashed out” from every angle with high school authorities and referees both present to bring forth their respective views.

Penn State, Georgia Tech, lowa, California, and other big Universities which have teams that might trim any of the "big three' don't need the pilgrimage of any wise men from tha East to show them how to conduct sport. Government officials have been encouraging all kinds of sports, especially International sport. Major Daly, head football coach at YVest Point, says that the more games between Europe and the United States, the less ehance there will be of big trouble in the coming year. J. T. McGovern, who is in England now trying to perfect plans for big BrltlshAmerican sports, says be will not be helped when the "big three" is yelping about Indefinite things that areu’t shown to be existing.

EARLY ACTION FOR PAGEMEN This Week Calls for Games With Indians and Franklin. The Butler College baseball team will! crack open the season this week lu big league style, being carded to oppose Jack 1 Hendricks' recently returned Indians on j Thursday afternoon at Washington Park. Following this auspicious opening the local collegian* will tackle their .ancient rivals, Franklin, at Irwin field Saturday. This heavv program for opening week 1* a pretty big Jump for so early In tho vear, but Coach Page has had his men working out for a long time and Butler followers are confident that tho Blue ard White will glvo a good account of itself this week. Inclement weather has slewed the work outs on Irwin field to a considerable ex tent tills spring, but Butler players got the jump on other college teams in the State in the matter of early practice and are probably in better condition at this time than any of their Indiana contemporaries. The squad was divided Saturdav afternoon and a double-header was played. -This policy will be continued throughout the early part of this week and will further aid the Pagernen in tapering off for the season's grind. With the first game of the season nt hand rivalry for positions on the team continues to be keen and the line-up is nbout ns much in doubt as ever. The pitchers, Station, Griggs, Slaughter and Hooker look unusually strong and the receiving department composed of Ilungate, Schwomeyer and Mliburn should team with It iu excellent style. Milburn, who formerly attended Franklin, looks especially good and scorns the loglcn. candidate for first string backstop. Brown and I’. .Tones continue to wage nn even butle for tho guardianship of the initial sack, but in the event that both maintain their high standard of preseason play, one can bo shifted to another infield position. Screes, a former Techite. continues to lie the outstanding candidate for second base, while Deiderlch and Blessing are fighting it out for third. Goett is playing nt shortstop in great style, hut rnn be shifted to tho outfield, where he showed to such good advantage last year. Black, who was put on tho "another chnnce” list, after the first out, seems to have found his batting eye nnd will make the other infield candidates hustle to land their positions. Middlesworth, R. Jones and Leslie of last year's nine, along with Keach. a freshman, are the most likely looking outfield candidates. CHARLES SHOWS 'EM. HONOLULU, April 3—Charles Paddock, California sprint star; Satnrday lowered his previous record for 120 ynrds by one fifth second, running the distance in 11 2 5 and continued to the 125-yard mark in 12 seconds flat. The marks were made by continuing after a 100yard dash which he won in 9 3-5 seconds. Paddock is competing against 'real athletes in a series of exhibition races.

STATE SCHOOLS HIT BY RULING Big Ten Prohibits Members From Meeting Teami Playing Freshmen. t One of the rulings made at the meeting of the Western Conference, athletic authorities iu Chicago Saturday may change the aspect of several football schedules in this State /ext fall. Beginning on Sept. 1, tho conference decided that no contests were to be permitted with Institutions not enforcing the freshmen rule. This would prohibit Indiana and Purdue playing the other schools of the State except Notre Dame as the two Big Ten colleges and tho South Bend school are the only ones that, do pot allow freshmen to compete In uthletlcs. Some years ago tho rule was sidestopped by scheduling contests with the understanding that no first year men were to play.. This situation may prevail again. A general ttghtflning of the rules was the result of the Big Ten meeting. Intersections! contests were disapproved, but will not influence the grid games scheduled for this tear. When an athlete migrates from one Big Ten Institution to another, hereafter, he must attend the new institution for two years before being eligible for intercollegiate competition. The amateur rule governing basebnll was made more drastic by forbidding college players to be members of teams where admission is charged. After this year athletes will be permitted to participate In only two sports, If favorable action Is takeu at the Conference meeting iu June on a resolution presented to the faculty meeting Saturday. According to the proposed rule, an athlete would not be allowed to play both football and baseball. Crosscountry running and track work were considered one sport. The committee also voted to normalize nnd enlarge the list of eligible Conference colleges and passed the recommendation of athletic directors that Big Ten basket-ball officials who work In professional games shall be dropped from the Conference list. The faculty committee decided there was already a rule providing that no student la eligible for athletic competition if he prolongs his graduation.
Hoppe's Manager Talks ST. LOUIS, April B.—Commenting on the announcement Saturday night of the retirement of Willie Hoppe from tho billiard game, Manager Benjamin last night charged that “commercialism in the billiard game" made it impossible for the ex-champion to compete for his lost title within eighteen mouths or two yonrs. “Primarily, Willie feels that he has reached the nge where his first duty Is to his family," Benjamin’s statement said. "For nonriy ten years he has been touring the world giving exhibitions. Furthermore he has been very dissatisfied with the manner in which the championship contesta have been conducted during recent years.” Benjamin declared that a billiard Ann had “commercialized tha game," adding that the ex-champion's recent defeat by Schaefer had not stimulated his decision to retire. Hoppe and Benjamin were to depart for New York today, where they expect to make arrangements for the future. Romney Ineligible CHICAGO, April 3.—Milton Romney, calH&ln.elect of tlic University o<f Chicago football tram, has "been declared ineligible, lie took part In different branches of athletics for two years 'at the University of Utah and one at the Midway.
