Greatest JOE O’BRIEN IS NEW PRESIDENT OF TOLEDO HENS Former A, A, President Buys Controlling Interest From Roger Bresnahan. By Time * Special TOLEDO, Jan. 22.—The Toledo Hens are under new ownership and Roger Bresnahan is out. Joseph D. O’Brien, former president of the American Association, purchased controlling interest in the local A. A. club from Bresnahan late Monday. The price was not announced, but it is said to be the largest sum ever paid for an A. A. franchise. Toledo is rated a high-class ball town when the club is playing first-division baseball. O'Brien formerly was secretary of the New Y-ork Giants and he has resided in New York for some time. Due to this angle some people are inclined to believe the Giants are interested in the purchase. The Giants owned the ball park during Bresnahan’s reign as Hen president, t Roger Bresnahan, retiring president, *3 one of the best known figures in baseball. He was a major league star and one of the best catchers in the history of the game. He could play the outfield and infield. Roger was numbered among the smartest base runners of the majors when in his prime. NO CHANCE FOR BRAVES Boston Is Told Hornsby Will Remain With Cardinals. By United financial BOSTON.

Basketball ' Problems Ques.- —Is it necessary for the referee to count aloud the ten seconds permitted for a free throw, and the five seconds for an out-of-bounds play? Ans.—The rule 9 do not require either, but it is customary for officials to count the five seconds, but not the ten. Ques. —Our baskets are set on uprights. What is the penalty if the plaj'er shakes the upright while the ball is on the edge of the basket? L Ans.—This is the same is interfering- with ■he basket itself, covered in Rule 14. Sec. 12. Os the offense is cormhitted at opponents' basket, it is declared a goal whether made or not. If committed at player’s own basket. it is no goal whether made or not. In both cases the ball goes to center. If players of both teams commit the offense on the same play, it is no goal and center ball.

Racing Season in History Is Predicted for New York This Season
ENTRIES IN FEATURES SHOW HOT COMPETITION Fine List of Thoroughbreds to Campaign in Stake Events —Epinard’s Visit Boost for Turf Sport, By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—Metropolitan turfman are looking for the greatest racing season New Y r ork ever has seen in 1924. To be sure 1923 provided greater crowds and larger purses than ever have been connected with American racing before, but the coming year is expected to pass 1923 in these respects and, what is of more interest, to provide some stiffer competition.
The past year saw' Zev-crowned as undisputed king of the early and midseason racing, at least, but next year, unless several horses train off, an outstanding champion ■will hape to show more than Zev did. Suburban Handicap Nominations already in for the Suburban handicap at Belmont Park, for instance, give some idea of what is to be expected in the line of racing contention. The mighty Grey Lag kept away from the races last season by weak under pinning, is entered and will in all likelihood draw the topweight assignment. Zev, now a 4-year-old; Mad Hatter, Prince James, My Play, Martingale, Dunlin, Diogenes, Wise Counsellor, Sarazen, Rialto, Transmute and several other winners of famous races in the past, are entered for the Suburban. With such a number of first-clasp horses already entered for just one, of the big eastern races, it seems clear that 1924 will produce the best kind of racing. Epinard Coming Then in addition to all of the year to year fixtures the coming of the French champion, Epinard, for at least two weight-for age sweepstake events at New York, tracks is certain to bring out the best competition among American horses in the 3-year-oid and up division. Never since the abolition of open betting has a racing year appeared so promising as does this one. That it at least the opinion of the men* in closest touch with the New York racing situation.
YANK BOSS SEES BIG YEAR AHEAD OF PITCHER JONES Huggins Predicts Sam Will Have One of Best Seasons of Career, By HE A Sen-ice NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—Manager Miller Huggins of the Yankees predicts Pitcher Sam Jones will have one of the best years of his career the coming season. Jones, who was somewhat of a disappointment in 1922 with the pennantwinning Yankees, came back strong last season. Good Entire Year Jones -was one of the mainstays of the club throughout the race, pitching consistently good ball. Late in the year Jonea came through with a no-hit game. In the world series he pitched brilliantly against the Giants, only tq lose, 1 to 4), when Casey Stengel pulled a high tiy into the right field bleachers for a homer at the Yankee stadium. “Jones is a master workman,” says Manager Huggins. "No pitcher in either league has more poise than Sam. Has Fine Control “The possessor of great control, Sam often makes the mistake of pitching too carefully, in the slang of baseball, getting the ball too good. It is when Jones loosens up and pitches with a careless style that he is most When he is just a bit wild he Is harder to solve. His speed is Just enough to keep the batters from digging In and taking a healthy swing.” Indiana-Illinois Cue 'League In the Indiana-Illinois Three-Cush-ion Billjard League Weston of Decatur, 111., broke even In two games with Indianapolis representatives at Cooler’s No. 1 parlor Monday. In the afternoon the Illinois player defeated Cooler, 50 to 37, and at night lost to Vogler, State champ, 50 to 48.
OACH CHARLIE MORAN who, with the aid of "Bo” McMiHin, i___J "Red” Roberts and a few other stai-s, put Centre College on the football map, seeks new fields to conquer. Recently he signed a contract to coach Bucknell, despite the fact that only a year ago he was reported as having a five-year contract with Centre. Per-, haps the financial inducements offered by the eastern school caused the Centre authorities to permit him to tear up the five-year clause. • * • Centre will miss Moran. In all probability Charlie will miss the atmosphere and environment of Centre. Who will be the greater loser remains to be seen. • * * SHE little southern coPege first jumped into prominence in 1919 when it defeated University of West Virginia, rated one of the very best elevens in the country. Only the week previous West Virginia overwhelmed Princeton, and the Tigers had a mighty strong tagm that year. Centre was regarded as easy picking, but proved the very contrary. The

upset of West Virginia was the outstanding feature of the 1919 campaign. That game brought Centre into the spotlight of the sporting world, and under the guidance (?!f Coach Charlie Moran it has remained there ever since. The most cherished victory in the annals of Centre was the 8 to 0 win over one of the greatest teams Harvard ever boasted. That was in 1921. O M’MILLIN was the hero of the Harvard victory.

IRE ROOM FOR RACING FANS AT CHURCHILL DOWNS Improvements Being Made on Famous Old Track —New Paddock in Plans. By United Financial LOUISVILLE, Jan. 22.—After consulting the men in charge of rebuilding and renovating Churchill Downs buildings, Col. Matt J. Winn, general manager of the Kentucky Jockey Club, announced the famous old track would be in better condition, so far as accommodating the spectators go, for the Epinard race next autumn than it ever has been before.

Stribling pulled and pushed Fay around the ring and over the ropes and at times the affair resembled a wrestling contest. The Southern battler’s best work was done in the infighting and he continually punished Fay with a free right hand in these encounters. Has Ideal Build. The Macon youth has an ideal build for a fighter and probably will fill out into a heavywe.ght. He is in the light heavy class at present and had the advantage over Fay in weight. During the closing rounds he had Fay backing away from his aggressive rushes. • Str.bling did not get over many clean-cut blows. Fay clinched repeatedly and fought a heady battle against the rush.ng tactics of the Dixie battler. Stribling's judge of distance was bad. "Pa” and "Ma" Stribling were on hand. Mrs. Stribling sat directly in back of her son’s corner, while "Pa” took an active part as a second. In the semi-wind-up of eight rounds, Frankie Beal of Muncle was almost as hard to hit as a shadow, but Eddie Dyer of Terre Haute tried all the way and finally got some solid wallops across. Beal seldom led and Dyer deserves the shade. Alte Given Hard Fight Merle Alte of this city got the edge in his eight-round go with Midget Query of Latonia, but as the finai gong rang Merle knew he had been in a battle with os game a little youngster as one will find. The crowd gave the loser a real ovation after the fight. Alte opened a cut on Query’s nose in Dio first round and .later cut Ills lip. The blacWyi&lred youth from Kentucky did not seem to mind the blood, however, and came back strong in the final round to fight Alte to a standstill when the local youth started a slam-bang bombardment. Both were very tired at the end. Jack Elliott of Culver, who has sl.pped fast, was stopped by Rapid Waters of Ft. Thomas, Ky„ in the th.rd round. . Willie Sullivan of Clney, who was substituted for Kid Sparks, proved a fine little mauler and gave Fighting Ferraris something in exchange for everything he sent.

RICKARD NAMES $200,000 AS BEST HE’LL GIVE FIRPO Tex Says Luis Is Asking Too Much to Meet Harry Wilis, By HENRY L. FARRELL, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—“ Not one cent more than $200,000 will Luis Firpo get out of me for fighting Harry Wills,” Tex Rickard said today. After a # cash layout of $200,000 as one of three propositions had been made to the South American, Rickard learned that Luis was getting ready to use the “crusher” on him. . “If Firpo can get $250,000 or $300,000 from some other promoter,” Rickard said, “he will be foolish if he does not accept the best offer. My best price has been named. “Firpo is worth $200,000 and not a cent more. I believe I have always known what a fighter is worth in the ring and I haven’t underestimated the drawing power of Firpo. ' ' “In discussing a Firpo-Wills fight, it must be remembered that Wills is worth something. It isn’t similar to the case where Wills would be getting a direct shot at the title, in which case he might consider the opportunity as winning the chance as being worth something.”
