It means they are that j much nearer the big thrill of the local indoor fisticuff season. Bud ! Taylor. Hoosier bantie pride, gets his big chance in a home-state arena Tuesday night at Tomlinson Hall when he trades punches with Pal Moore, Memphis. The southern lad ■; is hard for anybody to beat and a vie- : tory over him will mean much to the Terre Haute pride. Moore, a classy boxer, hardly can be outboxed. It takes a punch to defeat him. Taylor has the punch, but the big question is, can he put It over? Indianapolis fans have seen Bud hit "for keeps” and j they will be pulling for him to reach Moore's vulnerable spot. Taylor and Moore are scheduled to ! go ten rounds. They have met three limes, two bouts being draws and one in favor of Moore. Taylor will complete his training here. He was scheduled to arrive today, but may not come in until Saturday. Moore will arrive on the scene Sunday or Monday.

Hoyt said the tourists played twenty-five games, losing one of them because the players fell to joshing. And the team that showed the most merit was the Chinese. Hoyt said that the Japs can’t pitch very well, but are absolutely fearless at the plate and can’t be dusted away by speed or curves. -I- -I- -ICleveland started the major league train- J lng season today when a sauad of Indians I under tile leadership of Jack McAllister, as- I eistant manager, set out for Hot Springs to ! spend three weeks.

FRANKLIN FIVE WINS GREAT BASKET GAME .Score Is Knotted at Regulation Time, 23 to 23, and Extra Period Ends With Count 27 to 25,
. By EDDIE ASH FRANKLIN, Tnd. Feb. 9.—A1l the world’s a net court and all the men, women and kids are basket players—in Franklin. The Johnson County courthouse was "lit” Thursday night. It was "lit,’’ but it wasn’t staggering. It was “lit” because there was a bonfire in front of it. A bonfire that shot a blaze high and wide that signaled the countryside of more fame for Franklin. The Big Red team of Wabash College came to town Thursday to lift the basket crown off the Johnson County seat ami take it back to Montgomery County. The invaders didn’t lift it. but they did manage to give It a threatening tilt. But retaining the crown after having it Jolted loose made the victory sweeter than ever to Franklin. Extra Period Necessary. The final score of a terrific struggle was 27 to 25 after five minutes of extra time had been played. The score was 23 to 23 when the gun barked the end of regulation time. In the extra session Gant looped a field goal for Franklin and Vandivier dropped in two throws from the foul line. The best Wabash could get was two sinkers from the foul line. Grater twisted one in from the field, but it tooks two turns around the hoop and then spun out. The game was over. It was another one of those go-.down-ln-hlstory games and Franklin fans had every reason to make merry. The bonfire on the courthouse square followed. The Franklin College gym was thronged for the Important contest and everything went off *n splendid fashion. Wabash was there to seek revenge for a 20-to-16 defeat handed it earlier in the season. Franklin was out to stick on top of the basket world. Wabash Out In Front At the outset the Big Red five made Franklin fans gasp with amazement by an attack that upset the home team the first half of the opening period. Chadwick, the rangy Wabash center; and Thompson and Adam, forwards, \ got under way Instantly and Wabash had a 11-to-2 lead in short order. Coach Wagner hurried Bobbie Rec- 1 ords, strong man, into the game and Bobbie entered and tossed a field goal from the middle of the court. That started Franklin. At the halfway point the Wabash lead had been cut to 13 to 11. Shortly after the second half opened Gant tied the count. Later Wabash spurted again and apparently was on the way to victory. Coach Wagner shifted his line-up once more and Franklin rallied. With about three minutes to go Vandivier got his only field goal of the night and tied the score at 23. The score hung there until the overtime was played and Franklin won. Reserve strength and more opportunities from the foul line swung the honors to Franklin. Wabash scored ten field goals to nine for Franklin. Wabash sank five out of nine chances from the foul line and Franklin sank nine out of fifteen. Franklin made five substitutions and Wabash two. It was a frantic thriller. Fre-

Ballard’s floor work was exceptional. Chadwick got four field goaLs for Wabash and Goldsberry played a whale of a fioor game. Chadwick was ‘'dogged” by the Franklin guards and Ids under the-basket opportunities in the second half were few. He fumbled some passes out in the court, but altogether he indicated he has the ability to develop into a wonderful center. He is a tall boy who doesn't fear to scrimmage. Thompson scored the feature shot of the game. It was Hoosier basket-ball at its zenith. Two great teams. DE PAUW IN WIN BY SINGLE POINT Notre Dame Gives Methodist Five Terrific Battle, By Timet Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., Feb. 9. Notre Dame surprised De Pauw here Thursday night and gave the Methodists a terrific battle. The local five won by the narrowest of margins, one point, 32 to 31. The score was tied three different times during the contest. At the end of the first half De Pauw was leading, 17 to 12. In the final period the Irish opened up an attack and had the lead before De Pauw could get started. It was nlp-and-tuck to the final whistle. Enright and Rearden came through with long shots in the final minutes that kept the De Pauw fans in a constant state of nervousness. Luughlln starred for De Pauw with five field goals and six from the foul line. Kizer of Notre Dome kept up his good work from the foul line.

RUTH, BACK IN TOWN, LOOKS OVER NEW BALL PARK Thinks It's a Regular Joint — Big Fellow Looks Good and Not So Girthy, By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—Babe Ruth, the swat king, is back in his town house for a week, shopping. He feels fine after his long spell of training on a New England farm. “Had to come to the city to do some shopping before I take off for Hot Springs to finish the process of getting in shape," Ruth said. The big Bam looks as If he didn’t have much more to do to get into real condition. In full winter regalia, with a big heavy overcoat on, he was strikingly less girthy than he was when he was missing them a mile in the world's series, last fall. ”1 feel fine now, but It will not do me any harm to take off some more weight,” Ruth said. He did not announce his poundage, but he did say he was "way below what he was last year.” The Babe looked over the new Yankee stadium and said he couldn’t see how they could say the park was made for him, or built to beat him. “Looks like a regular park to me. The right field stands are a little closer than the Polo Grounds right on the foul line, but the stands on the Giants field cut in deeper to the playing field,” he said.
