Manual defeated the much-vaunted Kokomo quintette. 37 to 36: Tech gave the Elwood five a 24-to-23 beating on the Y. M. C. A. floor, and Broad Ripple lost to Advance, 49 to 39.

A strong comeback during the last eight minutes of play kept the Tech quintette from being on the short end of the final score. Three timely field goals by Hite put the east-aiders back in the running. Gordon put up a brilliant game for the Green and White five. Advance Rallies A smashing drive by the Advance five in the last few minutes of play brought the Broad Ripple lads a 49 to 39 defeat. At the half the Ripple boys were leading 28 to 24.

BUSH IS NEW TRIBE LEADER (Continued From Page 1) sines with the exception of 1918, when he piloted the St. Louis Nationals He piloted the Tribe to the pennant in 1917 and also won the minor league championship that year. His team finished out of the first division only once, and that was the past season. Ownle Went Big Ownie Bush comes hack to the Indians as manager after a brilliant career in the American League. He helped Indianapolis to a pennant in 1908 and graduated to the Detroit Tigers. After many years with Detroit as a flashy short stop he was 'ransferred to the Washington Americans and last season managed the team. Bush piloted the Washington club to fourth position despite many handicaps. After the 1923 season closed he was released and became a free agent. His releaso by Washington was a surprise to baseball men and he did not lose any prestige. His leat of leading the weak Washington team to the first division was considered unusual. Pride of Kaat Side Bush is 34 years old and Indianapolis is his home. He is an east side product and learned the game on thl sandlots. His great performance at shortstop here In 1908 has been a cherished memory of Indianapolis fans, and when he left the city to go to the big league It was a sorrowful event in the history of Indianapolis baseball, although everybody was glad to see "little Ownie" graduate. In other words, the fans were pleased to see Bush become a major leaguer, but at the same time they regretted the fact that he had to leave his home grounds. •lack's Plans Uncertain Now he is back—as manager. Jack Hendricks, the retiring Tribe pilot, lias several berths in view. Ho may catch on at St. Paul or Toledo, teams that are without managers. Hj is popular in both cities.

CHARLIE CAN RUN IF HE WILL FELL A.A.WSSORRY Board Members Declare They Will Not, Then Decide to Hear Paddock's Case, By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. Dec. 24.—One chance still remains for Charlie Paddock, world's sprint champion, to become eligible to appointment to the 1924 American Olympic team. If Paddock apologises for several statements which the A. A. U. interpreted as being ’’insulting’’ and if he make* a satisfactory explanation of some financial matters, he may be reinstated as ”an amateur In good standing.” He Must Start It Paddock, however, must take the initiative in asking for r hearing before a committee of the A. A. U., that has been appointed to review and pass upon his case, it was learned today. The A. A. U. feels that its position is known and that any action in his case must be started by Paddock. After the meeting of the executive committee of the American Olympic committee Saturday, it seemed t iat Paddock had no chance to make the next Olympic team. Here's the Argument Wlilpun C. Prout, president of the A. A. U., declared he never would "sign the certificate of character," which is embodied in the entry blank for Olympic athletes, and Col. Robert Thompson, president of the Olympic committee, said he would never send to Paris "an athlete who Is not a real American gentleman." When It seemed that Pp/ldock’s i chance for making the team had been removed almost entirely, moves for conciliation were made and the A. A. U., not willing to assume a role of persecutor, decided to give the Cali- \ fornla sprinter a hearing.

OSBORN BETTERS RECORD IN' PRACTICE HIGH JUMP Illinois High School Instructor Leaps Bar at 6 Feat 7 7-16 Inches —He's Whole Track Team, ' By NEA Service CHAxMPAIGN, 111., Dec. 24.—With the coveted national A. A. U. decathlon title emblazoned safe on his record and the virtual assurance of a place on America’s Olympic team next year, Harold M. Osborn keeps up his- Spartan training.

Track athletese are conceded a re; it in the fall v and winter, between the last outdoor meets or summer and the first spring Indoor meets. But Osborn has the idea he hasn't earned his, yet. Near Former Coach Osborn found work in Champaign In order to be near the University of lUlnoi3 gymnasium and his old coach, Harry GUI. He is an instructor on the local high school. Just the other day, for practice, Osborn entered an exhibition meet here and smashed a world’s record In the high jump. The unofficial record was 6 feet 7 7-16 inches, or an eighth of an inch higher than the official mark of Beeson of California. Asa lad Osborn could outjump all the other boys in the county. When he arrived at the university in 1918 he could just clear 5 feet 7. By grinding, ambitious training he added more than a foot to his leap and made himself one of the greatest all-round athletes who ever laced on a spiked shoe. All-Round Star Winning the decathlon event from eleven other stars In the national games in Chicago this year was the peak of Osborn's achievement. To summarize that great day’s achievement, he won first in the 400meter dash, the 1.500-meter, the 110meter hurdles, the running broad and

running high jumps, tied for first In the 100-meter dash, was second in the javelin throw, tied in the discus and shot put and tied for fifth in the pole vault.
