BUTLEH TAGKLES cmo u. m IN NfrGQNTEST Fourth Game of Week Carded Tonight—Win Easily Over Carnegie Tech. Aster defeating Carnegie Tech Friday night, 42 to 15, Butler will flnd much harder opposition tonight in its game with Chicago University at Tomlinson HalL It will he thè fourth game this week for thè Irvington live. Up in Chicago they do not seem any too enthusiastic about thè Maroons who dropped tlie flrst game of thè season to thè Armour Legion team. Coach Xorgren has been shifting thè line-up in an effort to get thè strongest combination. Captain Yardlev has been switched from guard to forward in place of Frida, who was a bit slow on thè tìoor. Dickson, who has recovered from a football injury just recently, will probably start at thè other forward- He is thè best scorer on thè squad. Weiss and Barnes udii start at thè guard positions. Butler's best combination seems to be Lesile and Hooker, forwards; Griggs, center; Middlesworth and Colway, guards. These five doubtless will start against thè Chicago team tonight. In Friday night’s battio with Carnegie thè Pagemen were not forced to extend themselvea as thè eastem outfit offered little opposition. Anderson had a good eye for thè net from thè floor, but that la all that n be said for thè Techìtes. JUNIOR LIGHTWEICHT CO IS WON BY J.

NO. 1: CREATEST BASE HEX it cornea to M remarkable bits M of base running, vnH K you just have to hand thè laurei wreath to Ty Al Cobb ‘ b—v I have seen Cobb pulì off so —4-1 > much sensational stuff on thè bases, that it is a rather difiicult matter to pick out his one best bet in thè spemi line. During thè tìrst two or three yen rs that Cobb was in thè American League, he pulled so many unusuai stunt.s on thè bases that other American players simply classe*! him as a lucky stiff who ran wild. That impression. however, was short lived. Cobb was reall.v thinking just a wee bit faster than thè op* position. and thereby creating many of thè breaks of thè game, which was always referred to as mere luck. AVhen thè Detroit club went to Cuba In 1011 I was with thè team as umpire. Cobb’s fame bad precede*! him- A story appeared in a Havana paper, saying thè only sure way to stop Cobb was to throw thè ball one base ahead of thè one to which he was going. It was written in a humorous vein, but three or four times I satv STATE VOCATIONAL HEAD IS ASKED TO RESIGN Dissatisfaction of State educational officiala with thè progress of voea* tional work today was given as thè reason E. A. Wreidt, State director of vocational education, has been asked to resign. The vocational program was rriticized in thè recent report of thè State educational survey commission. REPORTSSHQW CUT INEXPENSES More public improvements have been made in 1922 than in any other year in thè history of lndianaj>olis, John L. Elliott, city civil engineer, announeed in his annual report today. During thè year a total of 17.92 miles of sewers was built at a cost of $734,847.33; 6.99 miles of sidewalks were constructed, 5.55 miles of walks and curbing, 9.55 miles of eurbing and grading and 3.29 miies of grading and graveling. A total of 32.42 miles of streets has been improved at u cost of $8,979,220.44. Mr. Elliott pointed out that Street paving has been done at about $1 less per square yard than thè cost in 1921. A net saving of $14,652.73 in maintenance and operation of thè municipal garage this year over 1921, is shown in thè anrual report of Harry B. NTewby, superintendent. Mr. New* by said that thè cost was $75,027.52 in 1921. as compared with $60,374.79 in for thè closing year. Martin J. Hyiand, city Street commissioner, also reported savings in his departrnent. Of thè 350 miles of unimproved streets in thè city, 211 miles were repaired. graded or built, while filling was put in thè rest.

RUNNING I EVER SAW Cuban players do that very thing to head off Cobb. One of thè best bits of base running I bave ever seen Colili turn in, was stage*! enrly in his i-a.rcer. Detroit was playing St. Louis at Detroit. Cobb dropped a Texas leaguer into center field which was iielded by Charley Hemphall. As Cobb rounded lìrst at a .104 he noticed Hemphill lob thè ball toward secon*i. He immedintely dashed for that base at full speed. The t all took a false hop and got a way from thè second bus* man.

It certainly was smart baseball. On a dinky little tl\ to short center Cobb completed thè Circuit, simply because h*“ could grasp tiie possibilities at each base.

YOUTH HELD Fflß BRIIICKNIFE James Brown, 16, coiored, of Chicago, was arr*-sted by Clarence Baker of thè State police departrnent, aster Brown is said to have drawn a knlf** and threatened to cut thè officer. The coiored man is alleged to have insulted Miss Jane Lawton and Miss I’earl Crutchfield, employes in thè automobile license office. When Baker attempted to arrest Brown he drew a knifo, thè officer said. Baker took thè weapon from thè coiored man. Brown said he won Sioo in a craps game in Chicago and carne bere a mentii ago and had not v/orked since that time. police stateci. He was charged with drawlng deadly weapons, vagrar.cy and with offending tbe two women. colimi' CAUSE DISPUTE With thè 1923 term beginning Tuesday, tlie two Republiean members of thè board of county commissionerà, Harry Tutewiler and Albert Hoffman, were agreed on but one appointment today. The deadlock could be broken only by thè intervention of John Kitley, Democratlc member who takes office Tuesday, it was said. Nearly seventy-flve county jobs are at stake, including those of thè custodian of thè courthouse, thirtyfive assistant road superintendents, county attorney, heads of thè poor farai and Julietta hospital for thè insane, attorney for thè poor and matron of thè courthouse. Following a conference held in thè office of George Y. Coffin, county clerk, Tutewiler announeed he would hold out for thè appointment of William Garrabrandt as custodian of thè courthouse. Hoffman favore William Reagìn of Bridgeport, as attorney for thè poor, and it is possible that a "trade” may thus result. “It will be politicai suicide for Hoffman to let out Paul Wettcr, present attorney for thè poor, if, as they say, he wants to run for re-election,” said Tutewiler. “But that is none of my business, as I know I won’t be a candidate.” Hoffman’s home is in Bridgeport. Outside of holding out for Garrabrandt and Mrs. Marie Sellers, thè courthouse matron, Tutewiler has indicated that he will not seriously oppose anything else Hoffman may want to do. They have agreed to retain John Carlisle, deputy in charge of thè office, who has charge of thè reoords.
