Basket Champs Invade City
■SMS GIF! FOR LOCAL FANSFRANKUN, BUTLER Tomlinson Hall Scene of Feature College Net Scrap Tonight. I Tonight’s the night—Tomlinson Hall place. And there’s only room for edmethlng like two thousand. Franklin College basket five comes to town to play the local Butler aggregation. It’s a Christmas present for local net fans. And not only the Baptist team comes for the contest, but about five hundred rooters follow along. There is a feeling in the air that the State champs are not going as well right now as in times past. Unpartisan fans have an idea the scrap will be one worth seeing. Butler plays well on the big Tomlinson Hall floor, and if some of their long shots find the rim Franklin may find itself in a desperate situation. The probable starting line-up for Butler is Hooker and Nipper, forwards; Griggs, center; Middlesworth and Harker. guards. Franklin will start with Gant and Vandivier, forwards; C. Friddle, center; Deer and Wood, guards. The tall will be opened at 7 p. m. A preliminary between Butler freshmen will be staged at 7:15, and the main affair will follow immediately. SIM TALKS OF URBANSHOGKER No Discard Between Brown Manager and Pitcher. Bv United Press ST. LOUIS, Dec. 22.—There Is ho serious discord between Urban Shocker and George Sisler, respectively star pitcher and new manager of the St. Louis Browns. Sisler made plain in a letter received here today. Sisler, who Is out on the Pacific Coast trying to recover from the eye trouble which barred him from the game last summer, expressed the opinion that Shocker is the best pitcher in the American League and declared the Browns never would trade him for any less than they consider such a pitcher to be worth. "I'm sure if Shocker stays with the Browns, that we personally can get along all right together, as we always have,” Sisler said, “and that he will prove a valuable asset.”

When Framers Framed Jim
7” COMPLETE record of ring skulduggery would make Interesting literature. For one thing, it would reveal son e of our ring notables In a rather unheroic light. The heavyweight battle between Jim Corbett and Tom Sharkey at New York in 1898 was a frameup. To be exact, it was a double frameup. Jim Didn’t Train Corbett had been told the police were to stop the fight after the sixth round. Consequently Gentleman NAVY GRID STAR “ BACK IN HARNESS Steve Barchet Will Be in Game New Year's.

There they found the number and name: 26—Ferdinand (Tod) Rockwell, quarterback; 5 feet 9 inches, weight 160. That settled it for the crowd. They had never heard of Rockwell.

Behind him was Blott,
Jim trained haphazardly, and was in poor shape. Word was passed down the line by the wise set that Corbett was to win and the sure-thing boys bet plenty. Had they known tla same clique that launched the report that the bout was fixed was active in covering all the Corbett money that appeared, the “sure-thingers” would have been terribly surprised. Corbett was framed by the framers. For six rounds the actor athlete Jabbed Sharkey silly and was leading by forty kilometers. Police Didn’t Arrive In the Interim, between the sixth and seventh rounds, Corbett sat In his corner waiting with unruffled patience for the police to stop the fight. When the gong rang, starting the seventh round, Corbett, who had used up all his energy In the preceding rounds, was too dumbfounded to put up his hands. Sharkey proceeded to reverse the tables, and in the ninth round, with Corbett hanging on and apparently on the verge of a knockout, Jim’s chief second. Con McVoy, leaped through the ropes. This, of course, constituted a foul, and Sharkey was declared the victor.

mT IS SAID WILLIE HOPPE WAS SO EXCITED AT WINNING THE BILLIARD TITLE AGAIN THAT HE ACTUALLY STOPPED TO INQUIRE THE NAME OF HIS OPPONENT. Accounts of the match reveal that Mr. Hoppe “babied” the balls. . . . We imagine that is where the nurse stroke comes in. It seems reasonable to believe that at least eleven persons In the world agree with Walter Camp in his AllAn&erica seltction. ¥here should be a State law prohibiting able-bodied young men from wasting their time trying to win the billiard championship from Hoppe. The bewhiskered Los Angeles newsboy who ia a fighter ought to go to Nv York. . , . That’s where alt the hair-lino decisions are being handed out these days.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Michigan's great center and at times place kicker. The play was apparent to the Marines. The ball was snapped back. Rockwell held it in position for a place kick. But, just as Blott advanced to apply his toe to the ball and as the Marine forwards came streaming through to block the kick, Rockwell jumped to his feet and ran. Eight Michigan players had swung to the right to offer interference. They blocked and Rockwell ran on—26 yards to a touchdown. It was his first play in varsity football. The game with Wisconsin followed. Wisconsin was pointed for Michigan.
Olympic Committee Given Cause for Alarm
ppTIOES it pay to be funny? |) I Or is it the best policy to l±Zj take everything seriously? Easy come, easy go, was the motto Nick Altrock followed during his days as a big league pitching star. Money meant nothing in particular to Nick, other than the power It possessed to provide fun and amusement. When Altrock retired, after the old left, arm finally had lost its cunnning, Nick’s bank roll was very light. Plank the Opposite A well-known writer once drew a comparison of the prosperous Eddie Plank, big league pitcher, and the down-and-out Altrock. Plank was of the serious, saving type, though he was a southpaw like Altrock. The moral of the story’ was that It was far Hter to take everything soriou.*.. rather than lean to the humorous side of life. Perhaps the sermon preached by said w’riter Is by far the best policy to follow, but the Irrepressible Altrock has shot to pieces the theory’ that his lightheartedness, his lack of seriousness proved Ms downfall. Altrock, the comedian, is today drawing a bigger salary’ for clowning than ho ever did as a star pitcher. His salary ns jester to his majesty, the baseball fan, is far greater than any the star pitchers of his day received. Team* With Schacht Altrock has become an integral part of major league baseball. No world series would be complete without him and his partner, A1 Schacht, former big league pitcher. As a member of the Washington Club. Nick ties with the groat Walter Johnson as a drawing card. Now Altrock has broadened his field by taking up basketball. Nick doesn't play the strenuous game, but simply puts over the pantomime of the l>all field on the basketball floor. Nick, being original, has added some new stunts that have a basketball flavor. Altrock has proved that a man can boa success without ever having a serious moment. With Nick life is Just on© laugh after another, a round of pleasure.

Owner Smtth declared Friday, after the offer of the Cincy Reds had been rejected, that the Indians had been taken off the market, but the unidentified individual refused to believe It and he “told a friend who told a friend" that he would make a bid for the team. But W. C. Smith Sr., still owmed the Indians today and although his “sale fever” showed signs of cropping out again he was mum about his plans. Jack Hendricks said Cincinnati was flirting with him with a proposition to obtain Pitcher Fred Fitzsimmons, but Owner fimith stated he was not ready to pa t with the Misaawaka heavyweight.

CREIGHTON WINS OVER INDIANA U. Westerners Open Attack That Crimson Fails to Stop, By Times Special OMAHA. Neb.. Deo. 22. —Indiana University basketball team bumped into a snag here Friday night and was out-played by Creighton to the tune of 39 to 29. It was the first game for the Omaha five. Creighton’s team work was consistently good throughout while the Hoosiers played in streaks. The first half ended 16 to 14 in favor of the locals. Nyikoe and Logan were the big scorers for the visitors with the former covering the floor in clever fashion. Trautman was the Individual star of the losers with eight field goals. Mahoney got five two-pointers and Captain Lovely four. The I. U. team returned to Chicago where the various players separated for their homes over Christmas. Tilly Walker Released By United Press PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22.—Tilly Walker, outfielder, who has been with the Athletics since 1918, has been released by Connie Mack.
But for the third game in succession Rockwell delivered. In the second period Michigan got the ball to Minnesota’s 31-yard line. Vick, substitute fullback, went 10 yards behind the scrimmage line and threw a forward pass out over the center. Rockwell, running at top speed, managed to get the ball by his finger tips. He •jggled it a moment, pulled It down, and wiggling loose from two tacklers, ran to a touchdown. This play beat Minnesota. And so, there you have a story that sounds like Dick Merriwell. It is the story of the substitute, a curlyhaired sophomore at Michigan.
ATHLETES SHOW LITTLE INTEREST IN M GAMES Yale, Harvard, Princeton Men Turn to Other Events— Tennis Prospects Slide, By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—The passive interest that some of the prominent American athletes are taking in the Olympic games in Paris next summer is beginning to cause the American committee concern. Difficulty in raising sufficient funds to finance the trip to Paris was confldered the principal worry of the committee until evidence was found that many of the star athletes are in reed of some enthusiasm. Refuse Appointments The hockey players were first to show symptoms of a lack of Interest In the games. Several of the best players who had been counted Upon as the strength of the American hockey team refused to accept after they had been appointed. Pressure of private business was advanced as a reason by Billy Johnston, Californai star and one of the world’s greatest tennis players, for not going to Paris with the American team. Bill Tilden, the world’s greatest tennis player, now says he does not want to Join the team, as he regards the Davis cup matches as more Important and he feels he would go stale after a long trial of European competition. Yale, Harvard, Princeton Several star track and field athletes at Yale, Harvard and Princeton were counted upon not only as members of the team, but sure point winners. It is reported now they will not “go out” for the team. They consider meets with Oxford and Cambridge, which have become annual events, as of more importance to them than the Olympic games. America’s best strength in the rowing will not be available because Yale and Harvard and perhaps another prominent eastern university will not enter their crews in the trial events. Yale and Harvard consider their annual regatta as of vastly more Importance than the Olympic games.
