SPORTS P BASKET P O ” o v-' BOXING W R ” R AV - DIAMOND iv rp RACING Sand Q OTHER O i THRUSTS J ' WHO was the best three-year-old of 1922? Morvich, who carried off the two-year-old honors at the close of the 1921 campaign, was a favorite for that distinction, the best three-year-old of 1922. Morvich, after winning the Kentucky Derby, failed dismally. Pillory, winner of the Preakness, also lacked consistency. The star 3-year-old performers, Bunting, Lucky Hour, KaiSang, Morvich, Whiskaway, Snob 11, Rockminster and the rest were ln-and-outers.
The best 3-year-old of 1922 will probably wetnaln open to debate. Tt should be a much easier matter to rate the best 3-year-olds of 1923. There will be no clash between the Kentucky Derby and the Freakness; the classics of the turf In the South and East. They will be raced a week apart. There will be no excuse on the part of some of the owners for ducking the issue to determine the 3-year-old' supremacy. -I* + 1Now ft*’ the second Franklin-Wa-bash scramble.

City Boxing Commission Grants Fight Dates for Coming Months
CHOICE MAY 29 PERU GOES TO AMERICAN MO Three Bid for - Fistic Plum Night Before Annual Speedway Race, The May 29 boxing permit, considered somewhat of a plum among Indianapolis promoters, has been granti >-d to the American A. C. by the city boxing commission of seven- councilmen. The commission met Tuesday night. Applications from three clubs were received for the important date, it was said, but it is understood two withdrew and left.the field to the American A. C. Nate Farb is matchmaker. According to Ira BramUt tt, a member of the commission, the Washington A. C. and the Pivot A. C. were the other applicants. Last year the Loyal Order of Moose staged the May 29 boxing show, and it is said the affair was not a financial success. The reason the May 29 permit is considered a plum by promoters is the fact that the 500-mile race occurs the day following, and the chances for a big gate are unusually good. If the race date is changed this year, it is understood the American A. C. will be permitted to change Its boxing date. Other boxing and wrestling permits were granted by the boxing commission Tuesday. They follow: Feb. 19 —Wrestling permit, to the Gayety A. C. Ted Smith matchmaker. Feb. 22 —Boxing permit, the American A. C. Nate Farb matchmaker. March s—Wrestlings—Wrestling permit ,to the Gayety A. C. Tod Smith matchmaker. March 12 —Boxing permit, to the Washington A. C. Ed W. Ilarter matchmaker. March 28—Boxing permit, to the American A. C. Nate Farb, matchmaker.

PURDUE FIVE WINSTIGHT ONE By Times Special LAFAYETTE. Ind., Feb. 7.—The Wlsconsin-Purdue game here Tuesday night developed into a duel at the foul line between Gage of the Badgers and Holwerda of the Boilermakers. The final score was 17 to 13 In favor of Purdue. The local forward made eleven out of twelve chances good from the fifteen-foot line while Gage could snag only seven out of thirteen. It was the margin of victory. The teams put up such a tight de fenslve that It was almost impossible to get shots. Only three field goals were made by each club. QulUon got two and Tavls, who substituted for Robbins, dropped in one for the win ners. Gage, Spooner and Elsom counted from the field for the losers. Robbins, the great little floor guard of Purdue, was out of the game before the first half ended on personal fouls and Tavla, who took his place, made of his opportunity by playing a fine game and contributing one of the few-and-far-between field goals. The struggle was close all the way, the score at the half being tied at 9 apiece. Eversman was fast and clever on the floor, while Wellman at back guard, played one of his best games of the season. The loss was the first of the season for the Badgers In the Big Ten race. They have won four games and are tied with Michigan for second place in the western conference. AMUSEMENTS
