New Ball Park Certain, Smith Says —Averages Show Indians-Well Up

PLAY THERE IN 1924. IF Pl® GARRYTHROUEH

Eot Good Business to Stay on W. Washington St., Owner States. President W. C. .Smith of the Indianapolis Baseball Club announced today he had definitely decided to erect anew ball park at Northwestern Ave. and Pall Creek if he reaches satisfactory terms with the city. The Ground is under the jurisdiction of the park board, and. according to information received from reliable sources, the way is cleared for the deal to go through. A number of fans expressed a desire through The Times that the hall park be left on W- Washington St., but President Smith said it would not be good business judgment. Only shortterm leases can be secured on the present park site and for that reason, he said, it would not be safe to invest big money in erecting a modern plant there. The Tribe owner visited the Northwestern Ave. site Sunday, along with Secretary Clauer, and he is enthusiastic over the location. As announced previously, it is the ball club’s plan to have the new park ready by 1924. The stands will be steel and concrete and the entire plant modeled after the Chicago National League park. The seating capacity will be around 20,000. President Smith said today he was losing enthusiasm over West Baden as a spring training camp for this year and he advised Secretary Clauer to get busy and try for a southern point. Smith suggested Biloxi. Miss., and Jacksonville, Fla. Biloxi has been recommended to the club and Biloxi is likely to get the Tribesmen if suitable arrangements can be made with the Chamber of Commerce there. The Indian leader fears the spring rain 3 in Indiana.

FEATURE TILTS CARDED FOB SET FiVESTHISWEEK

Indiana, Franklin, Butler, Purdue, Wabash and Notre Dame in Action. A busy week is ahead for Indiana college basket-ball teams, with a great number of the games coming at the start of the week instead of in the latter part as is usually the case. Right on tho jump two important contests are on the card tonight. Indiana University opens Us Western Conference season with Wisconsin and Notre Dame comes here to play Butler at Tomlinson Hall. Wisconsin won its first Big Ten tilt against Northwestern Saturday, 21 to 10. The Badgers were beaten by both Butler and De Pauw In pre-sea-son battles The game tonight with I. U. looks like a close affair and the Crimson may surprise some of the wise boys who are predicting that Wisconsin will win. Notre Dame has been showing better form this season than for many years and the local Irvington five has a tough assignment on Its hands. On Tuesday the big game is Franklin at Wabash. The young Baptist aggregation has got away to a flying start, with victories over Butler and ; Do Pauw. Thoso two wins on foreign floors should put plenty of confidence into Wagner’s first-year men—and that seems to be about all they need. The Wabash struggle should be a real thriller—but. a little tip, It’s easy to underrate those boys from Johnson County. They know plenty of basketball. The Scarlet Is not as strong with Chadwick, center, out of action, but they are still strong enough to make trouble for any team in this State. Purdue plays Us second game of the season with Notre Dame at Lafayette Tuesday. It will bo tho first real test for the Boilermakers and the contest will he watched with Interest. Other Tuesray night frays are Earlham and Butler at the Irvington gym and State Normal against Rose Poly at Terre Haute. On Thursday Franklin has another real battle on its hands when State Normal is played at Franklin. The Teachers are strong this season and will give Wagner’s outfit all they want. One of the big games of the Butler schedule comes on Friday night. The Pagemen have never done very well against Purdue and they would \ rather take over the Lafayette team than most any other. The game is to be played at the Boilermakers’ gym. It will be the third tilt of the week for the local five and the last of the j pre-season tilts before the opening of the Big Ten schedule for thirdue. To close a big week Wabash meets the Omars at Tomlinson Hall on Saturday. It Is one of those feature j battles that pack the old hall to ca j parity. Indiana "U” meets Us seel : ond Conference foe within six days on a trip to Illinois. AMUBEMENTB

LOCAL FIVES PUT UP SORRY BRING GFBASKET-BALL

Shortridge Trims Tech and Manual Limps Home With a Couple of Defeats. By VKDDER CARD It is hard not to get pessimistic over the local high school basket-ball outlook. Any one who has seen games out over tho State and then witnessed the affair at. Tomlinson Hall on Saturday night when Short ridge handed a surprise party to Tech 22 to 19 will agree that the net teams of this city are not showing the stuff necessary to get very far against the prop teams of Indiana., It must be said of Shortrldge that thoso lads seem to know what they are doing. Credit must be given Coach Burton in molding his men together into a semblance of a team. There Is a definite style about their play. Sometimes the players are not able to do what they want to do, but at any rate they are trying something. It is too bad that Gyy Dixon is not bigger. It Is a pleasure to watch that youth play back guard. It can be said without a doubt that he Is one of the headiest players seen on an Indianapolis team In some time. lie sizes up tho plays unerringly and directs, at times, the play of hl3 mates. His foul goal shooting won for Shortrldge against Technical. The Green and white team put up a poor exhibition Saturday and never got together at any time during the game until the final minutes, when a desperate spurt put them within three points of the north elders. A pitiful story is told In the fact that Tech made only five free throws out of seventeen chances. Manual dropped two games over the week-end. Anderson was the victor Friday, 40 to 17, and Valley Mills was on top Saturday, 26 to £O. Plenty of tough games are on the locals’ cards this week. Tech has three games scheduled. Moorcsvillo plays here on Wednesday. Steele High of Dayton Is mot there on Friday and Columbus, Ind., Is the opponent at Columbus Saturday. Those contests surely will keep the Green and White busy. Shortrldge meets a worthy foe In Crawfordsville High at that city on Friday night. Manual will play Franklin next Saturday In the south side gymnasium. Cathedral goes to Peru Friday.

BROWN, PURCELL, KRUEGER FINISH AMONG LEADERS

Myatt, Brewers, and Becker, i Blues, Top League—Kirke Far Ahead of Covington. Catcher Myatt, sold by Milwaukee to Cleveland for 130,000 and three players, topped the American Association hitters for 1922 with a mark of .370. He was in 121 games. Official averages released Sunday night show tho Indianapolis batsmen well up. Eddie Brown led the pack with .333. lie drove in 133 runs in 161 games. Hammill, traded to Louisville with Rehg for Outfielder Ellis, cracked the ball for an average of .333 In twentyfive games. Purcell hit .327 and Krueger .321. The other Indian In the .300 class was Pitcher Bartlett with a nuyk of .313. ,Steve Yerkes was good with .299 and others in the ‘‘nineties’’ were Beib, .299; Covington, .291, and Sicking. .290. Other Tribesmen hit as follows; Schreiber, .283; Rehg, .281; Baird, .271; Oavet, .258; Whelan, .256; Hill, .247: Dixon. .213: Potty, .187; Causey, .185; Weaver, .156. Jay Kirke, who will be an Indian this year, displacing Covington, pounded the ball for a mark of .355. That is 64 points better than Covington hit Al Fills, who comes to th<* Indians for Rehg and Hammill, finished with an average of .302. lie hit 21 points better than Rehg. Old Beals Becker of Kansas City, certainly maced the ball In 1922 His figures were .367. Other powerful batsmen In the league for the season were Magee, Minneapolis; Lear, Mil waukee: Lamar, Toledo: Good, Kansas City; Gearln. Milwaukee; Skiff, Kansas City; Combs, Louisville; Honrlryx, St. Paul,and Brief, Kansas City. Bunny Brief was way out In front In home run hitting with forty to his credit. Becker got 26; Wade, Minneapolis, 28; Mayer, Minneapolis, 19; Krueger, Indianapolis. 17. A surprise to the fans was Doug Baird’s feat In leading the league again In stolen baser Ills total was 29, far below bis record In 1921, but still good enough to keep him out In front of the A. A. theft brigade. In 1921 Baird stole 72 b.ises, or 43 moro than he pilfered the past season. In club batting Indianapolis was fourth with a mark of .289. Kansas City was out In front with a club remrd of .315, a remarkable feat. Milwaukee was second with .305 and Minneapolis third with .293. St. Paul, pennant winners, was below Indianapolis with an average of .287. Haas. Riggert and Dressen were ' the only members of the Champion ! faints who finished among the league ’’selects” In hitting. Good pitching and smart baseball evidently carried tho Saints to the pennant. They led In stolen bases with 161 and they drew more balls than any other club.

NO. 8: GREATEST SERIES PITCHING I EVER SAW

HAVE seen any number of great pitching feats in world series games. Joe Wood, now baseball coach at Yale, performed a master piece in the final inning of the first game gos the series of 1912

between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Giants. In the last of the ninth, with the score standing 4 to 3 In favor of Boston, Wood faced a desperate situa. tion with New York runners on second and third and only one out. A base hit meant the ball game. Wood, who appeared to be weakening, put every ounce of his remaining strength on each ball pitched and supplied a nerve-racking finish to a thrilling game by striking out Fletcher and Crandall. However, in my opinion, to Hod Eller, then with the Cincinnati Club, goes the honors for the most remarkable streak of pitching 1 have

Indianapolis Has Fine Tennis Representation

Indianapolis gets more national attention In tennis circles than In almost any other sport. In the National and sectional tennis rankings of the United States Lawn Tennis Association Hennessey and Wesbrook are placed fourth among all the players in the United States in the doubles and Bastian and Burdick are ranked fifth. It is a great honor for these pairs. Julius Sagalowsky is twelfth among the Nation’s junior players in the singles. Byron Donaldson is twelfth and Shumaker, eighteenth among the hoys of the country In the singles. In tho Western section Indianapolis leads in both the singles and doubles. Johnny Hennessey is No. 1 In the singles, and the same Johnny, paired with Walter Wesbrook of Detroit 13 first In the doubles. Burdick and Bastian are second In the Western doubles’ ranking. In the singles other local stars In the big twenty are Bastlan, sixth; Burdick, twelfth; McKay, thirteenth; Kipp, eighteenth. In the Western doubles Kipp and McKay are seventh. Mrs. H. S.

ever seen in a world series game. Eller’s ruemorabl feat came in the fifth game of the 3919 series between Chicago and Cincinnati. In the second inning of that game, which Cincinnati won by the score of 5 to 0, Eller retired Gandil, Risberg and Schalk in succession over the strikeout route. In the third inning he repeated the performance of the previous session by getting Williams, Liebold and Eddie Collins in order. The spell was broken when the .seventh man to face him grounded out to the infield. Eller had performed the extraordinary feat of retiring six of the hard-hitting White Sox in succession on strikes. At that time trick pitching was permitted, so there really should be no taint attached to the performance. The following year' trick pitching was barred. Elier, w’ho depended on that style entirely, drifted to the minors. NEXT—The freakiest base-mining I ever saw.

WAIVER RULES SAVE FOURNIER

Six Clubs Block Rickey’s Deal With Orioles. By NEA Seri ice ST. LOUIS, Jan. B.—Because six major league clubs have refused to allow Jacques Fournier to drift to the minors, Manager Rickey of the Cardinals has gone into conference with himself. It was Rickey’s opinion several months ago that Fournier’s batting eyes were getting dim, the throwing arm weak and the ankles squeaky. When Fournier dropped from a batting average of .343 in 1921 to .294 in 1922 the manager of the Cardinals was firmly convinced that he had a piece of material for a trade. The opportunity arrived when negotiations were recently opened with the Baltimore Orioles for Jim Boley. The first request from Manager Dunn of the Orioles included Fournier. The waiver request on Fournier was flashed around the circuit and Rickey believed that it would only require the official form and process in obtaining the release agreement of the other managers. But to his surprise there were six claims for Fournier. MOORE WINS SECOND ICE TITLE IN WEEK. By United Press NEW YORK, Jan.
