District H. S. Track Meet Holds Forth at Fairground Saturday

127 Athletes From Twelve Schools Will Compete in Sectional Event Here —1,252 Entered in Fourteen Tourneys, ( While 1,252 high school athletes gather in fourteen cities to compete in the district track and field meets Saturday, the center of the stage will really be the State Fairground in Indianapolis, Os the total of US schools entered in the district meets twelve are to be represented by teams in the Indianapolis district. In this city 127 high school athletes will compete to win the honor of rep resenting their schools in the State high school track and field championships to be held in Indianapolis May ID.

The teams entered in the Indianapolis district meet Saturday and the number of athletes that each have entered follow: Danville, 13; Greenfield, 7; Greenwood, 12; Lizton. 6: Mar tinsville. 14; Monrovia, 2 Mooresvillc. 7 New Bethel. 7; Southport, to. and the three Indianapolis schools. Short ridge, 11; Technical, 20, and Manual Training, 18. Local Teams Fast All three of the Indianapoii3 high schools have evenly balanced track and field teams. Last year Technical won the State meet, but Coach Black's thinly-clad squad lost many of its best men, and it has been a big problem to develop anew set of track and field athletes in one year. The outside schools are sure to cut in on the three Indianapolis schools at the most unexpected times, and keeps the final result of the district meet in doubt. Manual won a foursided track meet at Franklin a week ago, scoring 8313 points, while Sbortridge was second with 31 points, Greenwood scored 21 points and Is one of the teams t nat will compete here Saturday. 1 Manual can count on Floyd In the shot put. for he has heaved the twelvepound weight more than 45 feet. This was in a meet at Noblesville. Brown of Shortridge and Hardin of Manual are fast dash men. It will take a fast runner to defeat Stillwell of Shortridge in the 440-yard race. Harter of Greenwood won the mile in the meet at Franklin last week, but the time was slow. MeCailister of Manual is a low hurdler, but his time is not fast enough to give much promise of points in the State meet. Bryan of Shortridge steps the half mile in 2 minutes 9 seconds. Lyons of Greenwood, high jumper and pole vaulter. should give the best of them an argument in these events in the district meet. Floyd's mark of 19 feet 1 inch in the broad jump Is hardly a big enough leap to even get in the points Saturday. Maxwell Fast Miler Technical has in Maxwell a real mile runner. He has been winning most of his races in easy style this year. Jackson is Technical's hope in the dashes but hia real value is the 440 which he steps in fine style. Burl is Technical's other sprint man. Clift of Technical is good in the 120 yard high hurdles but not so fast In the 220-yard low hurdles. Technical appears to be weak in the pole vault, high jump and shot put. Manual Training seems to have unusually strong relay teams. This year there is both a half mile and mile relay race. Mitchell of Martinsville is a good sprinter. Browder of Martinsville will make Maxwell of Technical step in the mile. Martinsville has a good high jumper in Callis, and a fast 440-yard man in Asher. Callis is also a shot putter. I. U.-DE PAUW SATURDAY State Normal Defeats Methodists in Cold Game, 10 to 8. By Times Special OREENCASTLE, Ind., May 10.— De Pauw baseball team will try and make up for its defeat Wednesday by State Normal in the game with Indiana University Saturday at McKoen field. Cold weather was not the very best thing in the world for the players and prevented the pitchers of both teams from putting much on the boll in the Normal contest. The final score was 10 to 8 In the Teachers’ favor. Postpone Boots Amateur boxing matches scheduled to he held at the Rialto Theater under the auspices of the Bright wood A. C.

Ownie Bush Is First Manager to Be Chased From Game

By ,Vf,',4 Service WASHINGTON. May 10.—Ownie Bush, newest of the major league managers, enjoys the distinction, if it may be so classed, of being the first manager to he chased. In the second game of the recent series with Philadelphia, which ended in a 10 to 10, twelveinning tie, Bush was given the air. It so happens that Umpire Holmes, one of President Johnson's new arbitrators, pointed the way to the exit. It nil happened in the twelfth in ning over one called ball, with two out, a runner on second and Washington trailing by a run. the Athletics having scored In the first half

Manager Bush, who waa coaching at third, rushed to the plate. Umpire Holmes kept him going to the club house.

The game was called on account of darkness at the close of the Inning.

DEMPSEY WILL RETIRE FROM RING AFTER HE MEETS THREE FIGHTERS Million and Half in Real Money Will Be Champion's Share of Gibbons, Willard and Firpo Bouts. __ By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 10.—After ridding the field of all contenders and bagging a cool million in cash in the next eight months. Jack Dempsey will retire from the ring and become a coal baron, intimates of the heavyweight champion say. Jack Kearns, who handles the business affairs of Jack Dempsey, the fighter, and William Harrison Dempsey, the coal baron, will not say that his charge is contemplating a retirement, but he does admit:

NAOMI FIKE

“After we have taken Gibbons, Willard and Firpo, there wiU be no others to fight and we will have to occupy our time with other matters.” Harry Wills, the big colored fighter THREE TEAMS IN . ACTION ON FRIOAY Local High School Baseball i Squads Meet Strong Rivals, i Three local high school baseball ' teams will meet strong opposition on Friday. Two of the contests will be on j Indianapolis diamonds. Technical j wlil meet a good team when Shelby- ! ville is encountered on the east side j field at 3 p. m. Hodges of basketj hall fame Is the best bet in the box for the Shelby County lads. Coach Campbell who is a brother of Spud j Campbell, the Indians’ thirdsacker, has won all games so far this season with his outfit. Last week his nine won over Shortridge in a ninth Inning rally in which six runs were scored. The other local game is Shortridge and Lebanon. Lebanon comes here for a scrap at Riverside park diamond No. 4 at 3:30. It is a return game. I The north eiders won at Lebanon, 13 to It in a see saw affair. Manual has a task confronting it at Greencostle. Oreencastle is another undefeated crew that has been mowing down all opposition.

will be permitted to join the list of victims and contributors to the Demp sey fortune if he so desires. The only thing the long talked-of Demp sey-Wills match lacks, he said, is a promoter to assume the contract that the two signed a long time ago. Some doubt exists here that Wills • wants to fight the champion or he would have the opportunity at this time to raise a mighty howl about discrimination. With the exception | of those who might profit by a Demp I sey-Wills match, very few regard the colored heavyweight as a very serious candidate for the championship. It has even been reported that Wills has decided to quit the game. Kearns admit erthat arrangements have practically been made for a meet ing with Jess Willard and Lula Firpo after the Gibbons contest. It is appai ; ent that present maneuvers of the pro moters In the heavyweight division are being carried out with that plan in mind. While Dempsey has been assured 1300,000 for the Gibbons bout, Kearns put through a contract which will make It Impossible for the promoters to make as much money as Rickard did out of the Dempsey-Carpentier fight. If the Shelby bout is a tremendous financial success, Kearns gets in tor a percentage above the guarantee tha: might run the champion's end up to a half million dollars. He will re celve at the very least 1300,000 for a fight with Willard and perhaps In ex : cess of a half million for a bout with i Firpo. With a cool million and a half for a few hours’ work, Dempsey would ;he in a position to retire and noi j worry about the future.
