‘Y’ LEADERS WIN LOCAL NET LILT To Represent Indianapolis in State Basket Tourney, The "Y" Leaders won the sectional independent amateur tourney Thursday "Bight and will represent Indian apolls in the State meet to be held at the local Y. M. C. a on Feb. 22. 23 and 24. Tho De MolayA lost in the final game, 20 to 17. The margin of victory was in the accuracy at the foul line. Kach team made the same number of field goals, but Strain tossed ten out of eleven chances from the fifteen-foot line, while Riley counted seven out of eleven. It was a battle, with neither team having more than a 4 point advantage at any time. The half ended with the De Molaya leading, 10 to 8. With about two minutes to go. the Do Molays were in front, 17 to 16. Two foul goals by Strain and a close-in shot by Starbuck settled the argument with the Leaders the winners. The scoring on both teams was equally divided, and field goals were hard to get, as the fives put up a tight defensive game. Harrington of the De Molays fought desperately throughout and kept the Leaders away from the basket. Green burg, the De Molay center, failed to get any of his famous long ones, or short ones, either, although he was a whiz en the floor. Strain and McClure were good for the winners.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

INDIANS’ OWNER STASIS MOVE IN FAVOR OF DRAFT Smith Makes First Break in Ranks of A, A, Magnates on. Big Question, W. C. Smith, Sr., president of the Indianapolis Baseball Club, came out today with a statement favoring restoring the draft in the American Association. It is the first known break on the question in the ranks of A. A. magnates and it will be interesting to see what the developments will be. The draft problem has had the major leagues and the big minors at sword po.. .-> tor a number of seasons. The American and National Leagues have been making strenuous efforts to get the draft restored and recently they tightened up their rules on releasing players to the non-draft circuits in an effort to get the big minors to change their stand. President Hickey opposes the draft and the majority of A. A. club owners also oppose it. With Owner .smith of the Indians starting a movement the other way, there may be a change of front, however, and it looks as though the next Association meeting is going to see a warm discussion. Smith's idea is to let one athlete from each dub be eligible to the draft at a price of about $7,500. He is of the opinion it woula prove a stimulant to the ball playei*fi and act to keep them hustling all the time. He does not believe in retarding tho advancement of players by holding them for a hlg sale price. MURCHISON SAYS HE'LL HI TRACK Famous Sprinter Declares Game Is Losing Its Kick, By I nitrd Press NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Loren Murchison has made the unofficial announcement that he is about ready to 1 forego a life of speed and settle down to an ordinary existence, but nobody takes him seriously.

Feb. ,16— Spilled dope is still running all over the town this morning as a result of the awful kick the local high school basket-ball team gave the "old bucket” last night. Eminence defeated Monrovia High School, 25-23. The half ended 15 all. Entering the game favorites, and over-confident from the many recent victories the visitors soon realized they had the match of their lives on hand. If the locals ever were "on” this year they were last night. Milhon and Blunk accounted for twenty points between them. Both are guards and Coach Gelkins of the locals crossed the boys under Coach Curtis by sending Milhon who is a good dribbler through and using Blunk to lire long ones. They couldn’t miss and the bewildered Monrovia team couldn’t stop them when they had good chances.

HOLDOUTS GIVE MUGGSY NI’GRAW PLENTY OF WORRY Will Not Be Allowed to Report to Training Camp if Not Signed Up. By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sport Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Holdouts have created such a serious situation among the world’s champion Giants that John McGraw bias been forced to do something he hasn’t done in twenty years. Notices were in the mails today to all Giants who have not signed contracts that they will not be allowed to report at Marlin Springs or at San Antonio until they have put their names at the bottom of the paper. The threat, however, may fail in its purpose. The only reply the club received from the ultimatum was from Jack Bentley, the $65,0U0 Baltimore beauty. The Giants told him he couldn’t report until he had signed, and he answered that he hadn’t intended to report, and thanked them for their trouble. , There are three exceptions in the' edict—George Kelly, Irish Meuael and Casey Stengel—who were with the barnstormers on the trip to the Orient. They will be obliged to work for two weeks at the camp and show that the trip didn’t hurt them before they will be offered a contract.
