Slanager Hendricks piloted his Indians back into the city Monday afternoon and the athletes immediately scattered to get places to camp.

McMahon , Dalton , Glick Winners in Vets 9 Boxing Show Patsy Proves Aggressor in Main Go — Glick-Bridges Bout Thrills. Patsy McMahon, boxing pride of the south side, made his reappearance in an Indianapolis ring last night and proved his right to come-back claims by winning on points over Tommy Phillips of McKeesport, Pa. It was a ten-round affair and was the main go on the Veteran of Foreign Wars’ fisticuff show staged at Tomlinson Hall. Patsy was the aggressor and forced the muling, Phillips being content to take things too easy until tile eighth round. In that session the Eastern lad opened up and threatened to spring a surprise, but ho was not strong enough to put the fighting Irish boy on the run. The lightweights had quite a bit of steam behind their punches and each boy wore a bad eye at the finish. McMahon did not seem quite as clever as he used to be, but he displayed better punching ability. Patsy had not fought for gome time and his followers were s ’- isiled that he will get along ail right if he slicks to hard training. The fans like to see him box, for when he’s la the ring he keeps things moving. In the other ten-round go of the evening Jimmy Dalton put Joe Thomas of Columbus "down three times in the fourth round, the bell saving the Ohio boy on the third knockdown. The boxing commission stepped in at this point and ordered Referee Clark to stop the affair. Thomas and his handlers objected to thiß decision, but they were overruled and Dalton wu declared the winner. Jimmy had it all ever Thomas, apparently, and he put over some ripping

Sunches that carried plenty of damage. ! obis of the loud-mouthed gallery Cnt- | Ics howled disapproval at the referee, ; but this official was carrying out Instructions, and It was only his duty to halt the bout. If boxing is to continue in Indianapolis officials in charge must; continue to halt the bouts when one of the contestants lg so badly beaten that to continue would bo brutal. The six-round bout tetween Bobby ) Bridges and Sidney Glick was a thriller. These welters fought bard every second j and Glick surprised the fans by earning a decision on points. He finished the stronger and had Bridges a little hazy. Bridges did not show his usual clever- ! ness and sought to trade punches with I Glick with the result that he did not-get along any too well. Kidney was ln- ; cllned to wrap his left arm around Bobby's neck too frequently, but that was his only fault. It was a great fight. The Bepley brothers, two Juniors, put on an Interesting three-round exhibition to open the show. Jack Dillon, former light heavyweight champion, referred the Click-Bridges bout and Clark officiated In the two ten- i round bouts. Dillon acted as one of McMahon's handlers In the main go. Jack ! was given a great oration when he en- ! tered the ring. Chuck Wiggins was in- j troduccd.and drew much applause.

NO DOUBT ABOUT BABE RUTH AS GREATEST DRAWING CARD, BUT IS HE GREATEST PLAYER?

BY HENRY FARRELL. NEW YORK. April 4.—Most any manager on the “big time" would give half his team and the grandstand for Babe Ruth, but they don’t all agree that he is the greatest player in the game. If Rogers Hornsby and the swat king were both In the American League there would be some excitement over awarding that thousand-dollar prize that Ban Johnson has put up for the most valuable player. When It comes to packing them In the parks and laying the foundation for dividends there Is no doubt that Ruth Is not only the greatest today, but the greatest ever. When It Is a matter of real value to a team, of real all-round service, some of the wisest baseball minds differ. "If I wanted a colorful player who could draw them In every day at the gate. I would take Ruth. If I had to choose a real ball player to make a team 1 would select Rogers Hornsby as the greatest player In baseball,’’ John McGraw of the New York Giants said. McGraw is generally regarded as the

Yanks Not Taking Game Seriously in Southern Training Baker Terribly Slow and Ward Playing Only Fair Game at Second. BY DAVID J. WALSH. NEW YORK, April 4.—According to the good word passed along It a man of Ifcdubltabl* authority, the New York Yankees are now playing the worst baseball of any major league ball club In the South, those two Philadelphia public charges not barred. As champions they figure to repeat this season, but as * group of debonair chumps, they will run worse then second as surely as carbolic acid is unpalatable. It Is to be hoped, for the sake of Miller Huggins, that their attitude is merely an attitude, and hence only temporary. For the most part it la neither necessary nor expedient for a ball club to play at top speed In Southern exhibitions.

greatest manager in the game' and one of the smartest baseball men of all time. Branch Rickey said he wouldn’t give up his Rogers for a couple of Ruths. Uncle Wilbert Robinson, also credited with knowing a few things about baseball, says he would rather have Rogers on his Brooklyn team. Other straddle the Issue and facetiously remark that they wodld like to have them both. Ituth has one big booster In little Miller Huggins, his manager. The pilot of tho American League champions not only gives lt as his personal opinion, that the “Bam” is the greatest player of them all, but he quoted figures from his record book. Ruth scored 177 runs himself last year, and he drove In 170 more. Enough to, win quite a few ball games, Huggins* contends. Ruth got 204 hits for an average of .878 and he stole seventeen bases. Hornsby hit 397 with 233 safeties. He stole thirteen bases and scored 131 runs. Not so bad, his backers say.

However, there have been signs of a decay that may bo permanent. At third base the venerable Baker has placed both feet upon a very thin dime and absolutely declines to believe it for a moment; Aaron Ward, at second, has shown a marked inability to range to his left and even the work of Everett Scott, a fine shortstop, has been affected largely because of Baker's lack of speed has thrown a ponderous burden upon the ex-Bostonlan. No champion ever repeated with such an infield as the Yankees now muster. Huggins Is ns patient as a Father Confessor and might even start the season wit! Baker on third with the Idea of giving the veteran plenty of rope. If a switch is made, Ward will be brought over to third, wdtere he belongs, and Mike McNally sent to second base. As for the others, the pitchers aren't pitching and th* hitters are not hitting. And, according tb test advices, you can't convince them tha It isn't all a ludicrous mistake. Penn Star Best Scorer NEW YORK. April 4—Close of the Eastern Intercollegiate Basket-ball League season found Graves, Penn center, was the best scorer with 147 points. Loeb, Princeton guard, had 141; PulI p rn. Columbia guard. 121; Cullen, Dartmouth guard, 119, and Luther, Cornell forward, 102.

De Pauw Gradually Rounds Into Form for Baseball Tilts First Real Action Against Indians Friday—Spring Grid * Work Starts. GREENCASTLE, Ind., April 4.—De Pauw baseball men will get into real action at 3:30 o’clock Friday afternoon when the Indianapolis American Association baseball team appears here for an exhibition game. Definite word from the St. Louis Cardinals concerning April 19 as a possible date for them to play an exhibition tilt here is not expected befnro' Saturday. Varsity crack tryouts will begin Thursday. Spring football practice opened Tuesday afternoon. If the rain holds off, the Tigersvwill be in good fighting trim by Friday, it is predicted. Coach Walker expects to use the same line-up against the Indians that he put in the field against Indiana University at Bloomington recently. This means that the positions will be filled ns follows: Davis, catcher: Bills, pitcher; l.auer, first base: Pruitt, second base; Darrell, third base; Captain Jordan, shortstop: Clarke, left field ; Krumheuer, center field, and Raider, right field. “Red" Adams probably will be unable to play because of a sprained knee. There Is little doubt now but that the St. Louis National League baseball club will play an exhibition here April 19. If the local Rotary and Kiwanis clubs fulfill their promises to help support the project the game will probably be played. Coach Merrlam of the track squad will hold tryouts for field events at 3:30 o’clock Thursday afternoon. All candidates for the discus, shot put. Javelin, broad Jump, high Jump, 220-yard low hurdles, or 120 high hurdle events will be given an opportunity to show their merits at that time.

He came down from Chicago last night and is working out at the Plaza roof. Wiggins has been getting In goocj trim for the scrap and apparently has recovered from the abscess on his head that bothered him in his last fights. He is rated a good card in the distance bouts and fans are anxious to see him tangle with the big Missouri light heavy Thursday. The bout is scheduled for fifteen three-minute rounds and a decision will be given by the referee. It is permissible to give decisions at the fort, the State law not operating on that reservation. Three bouts with well-known boys participating have been carded to make the evening a big one. In the semi-wind-up Kid Winters and Joe Dillon will mix in eight rounds, Charlie Null and Teddy Dixon wil go to it for six rounds and Roy Busch and Roy Boyard will trade punches for four rounds. Tho opening scrap is scheduled to get under way_at 8:15.
