JACK BENTLEY, purchased from Baltimore by the New York Giants, wrote the New York club secretary he was delighted with the contract tendered him by the Gotham team, but he slipped in a paragraph that caused the bosses a little ■worry. Ho said he wanted part of the purchase money paid Baltimore for his services. Jack indicated that if he was I to be referred to as a $65,000 beauty j he thought he was entitled to some of ! the greenbacks. Bentley says he’s going to try to get the coin from Jack Dunn, Baltimore owner. Well, if : he can persuade Mr. Dunn to let loose ! of the bankroll, he’ll create a record. Looks as though McGraw quietly will have to peel of? a few lettuce leaves j of the dollar variety if Bentley persists in his demand. -I- -I- IThe Masked Marvel still rets a date now and then.

TWO OF LEADING COLLEGE BASKET TEAMS TO CLASH First Appearance in City of Methodists —Locals’ Lineup Is Changed. One of the most important college games of the season will be played ! Saturday night at Tomlinson Hall. ! Butler will meet De Pauw on the basket court and the game very probably will have much bearing on the State college standing. De Pauw has kept under cover most of the season and the best idea of the Tigers’ strength can be gained by comparing the scores made by Butler and De Pauw against Marquette. Marquette is one of the strongest teams in Wisconsin and was undefeated until the Methodists turned the j trick at Greencastie. Earlier in the season both De Pauw and Butler lost to Marquette by small scores. Later De Pauw smothered Marquette. Butler’s line-up has been changed in the last two games. The new combination appears to be even better fitted together than the old one. The Notre Dame victory was impressive. A1 Harker, a freshman from Frankfort, has been given his chance to make good since Colway, the regular back guard, has been slowed up'by injuries. Harker came through in great shape when Butler defeated the New Albany Calumets, who had defeated Wabash earlier in the season. In the Notre Dame game Harker proved he was able to handle the Notre Dame tactics In splendid form. Besides being an excellent guard he usually can be counted upon for several baskets -during the game. Paul E. Brown, who was a regular forward on the Butler team last year and who was considered one of the best In the State, especially because of his ability to sink the ball from the foul line, has re-entered Butler and probably will get a chance at De Pauw. This somewhat offsets the loss of Capt. I,eßUe. The officials for the game here Saturday will be Feezle, referee, and Maloney, umpire. The game will stg.rt promptly at 7:45. BEECH GROVE GIRLS BUSY Danville and Carthage Teams to Be Well Entertained. Mothers of the members of the Beech Grove High School girls’ basI ket-ball team will entertain the.

FRANKLIN SPEEDS IN SECOND HALF ‘Baptists Pull Away From Omars After Trailing, By Timex Special FRANKLIN. Ind.. Feb. 2.—That come-back spirit which has marked the play of the Franklin College five in all of its close games was again in evidence against the Omars Thursday night here and pushed back the Independent stars in the second defeat administered by the Baptists. 36 to 29. The first half ended 15 to 12 In favor of the Omars. Bobby Records proved the ad.led j punch necessary for victory- He could not be stopped by the vlsting team. In all of Bobby’s fighting career ho never has showed to better advantage than Thursday night. Four baskets were 'chalked up opposite Record’s name. Fuzzy Vandivier was the same customary sensation and kicked In with five field goals. Woods, who has been getting his chance at back guard while Ballard has been out, more than made ! good. Gant tossed three from the field and seven out of the same number of tries from the fifteen foot line. The Omars had Walquist, former Illinois “V” star, in the contest in a great effort to -win. but the all-star i lineup could not turn the trick. The Omar scoring was evenly divided among the members of the squad. White, Walquist and Hinkle each got three from the field, and Carney dropped In two. White threw seven j out of nine fouls. Hennessey got into I the game a short time for Carney. Ray Miller held down the back guard position. Silent Hoosiers Lose COLUMBUS, Ohio.

Jack Dempsey’s High Price Reacts Against His Chances
By WESTBROOK PEGLER, I Hi ted .Vet ex Staff Correxpondent NEW YORK, Feb. 2. —The bottom has dropped out of the million-dollar heavyweight fight market and Jack Dempsey is left dancing on thin air like the guest of honor at a lynching social. Tex Rickard, the Midas of his generation, rubbed his hands upon the various promotions which now pro sent themselves and when they didn’t turn to 18 karat gold, kicked them down nine flights of salrs from his office In the sky-flirting cupola of Madison Square Garden. This left in the field only Thomas O'Rourke, one of Terry McGovern’s numerous historic managers, who never did promote a fight and who hasn't yet Jangled anything more than a ring of keys within the alert hearing of Dempsey’s manager. Jack Ken rns. The situation Is simply thfs: Demp

O’Rourke lias become matchmaker i for an organization known as the | Republic Athletic Club. This “paper” club has never promoted a fight, but It has a lease on the Polo Grounds, home of the New York Giants. It is understood In the fight game that Charles A.

Yet O'Rourke has not yet been able to post the SIOO,000 deposit which Jack Kearns demands as a symbol of “sincerity” and financial “ability” to supersede Rickard.

Shaky Crowns Bu NEA. SertHce NEW YORK, Feb. 2c—Four fight champions are in danger of losing their titles before tha passing of 1923. On three of the four tltleholders the crown is resting uneasily. Johnny Wilson, fluke holder of the middleweight title, has done little or no fighting. There are half dozen middleweights capable of disposing of Wilson. Joe Lynch, if he ever consents to a meeting with Carl Tremaine, will almost certainly be on the losing end. Several other bantams are equally dangerous. Criqui, the European champion, is being press-agented for a bout with Johnny Kilbane. It is doubtful If Criqui will be able to defeat the feather champion, but there are a half dozen fighters in this country who have a good chance. Will Mickey Walker, the welter champion, be able to hold off Dave Shade? Also there is a rumor that Benny Leonard is packing on weight so fast he will soon have outgrown the lightweight limit.
MACK’S SON GAVE LIP ON ROMMEL Connie Got Straight Dope on Star Hurler. By SEA Service NEWARK. N. J., Feb. 2.—Connie Mack can thank his son, Earl, for acquiring the services of Eddie Rommel, the pitching sensation of the American League last year. While it isn’t generally known by fandom, Rommel was once the propel! y of the New York Giants and was given the thumbs down by John McGraw. Rommel, In 1918, had a good year with Newark In the International League. He was purchased by the Giants in an optional deal. Before the opening, of the 1919 season the deal was called off and Rommel reverted to Newark. Earl Mack, son of Connie, managed Newark in 1919. He confided to his dad that Rommel was the most promising youngster in the circuit. On the recommendation of his son, Connie bought Rommel and has developed him Into one of the best pitchers In the majors. O’Brien Beats Sid Marks SCRANTON, Pa..
