Friday Games Interest Net Fans —Yanks Brace in Olympic Competition

STATE ATTENTION DROPS TO CERTAIN FEW TEAMS Anderson, Choice of Many, Will Be Watched to See How It Carries Burden —Frankfort at Columbus, The eyes of the net fans of the State are glued on certain teams as the season draws near the end. There are only five more big Fridays, counting this week’s schedule. While attention is concentrated on about five outstanding clubs there may be others lurking in the background which may spring surprises around tourney time, but that does not keep the net followers from giving most of their thoughts to a few.

lACKSON ADMITS LEFIY WILLIAMS GAVEHIMMONEY Slipped $5,000 After Games, Joe Says—His 1919 Series Hits Are Discussed, Bu United Pres i MILWAUKEE. Jan. 31.—Although unable to read or write. Joe Jackson, sueing the Chicago American League Club for back pay which he claims Is due him, has a quick-witted mind and calmly answered all questions put to him during a rapid-fire cross-ex-amination in Circuit Court here Wednesday afternoon by attorneys for the Chicago club. Attorney George B. Hudnell questioned Jackson during the entire afternoon. Jackson told many things and whenever questioned as to the authenticity of his answer, he stuck to it and was never confused. Jackson however, was a bit hazy over his home run, the only one of the 1919 scandal series. In direct examination he had testified he hit the homer with two men on base. Attorneys for the defense. however, brought forth the official record book which showed the home run was hit in the third inning of the eighth game and that there was no one on base. It -was shown that in the eighth inning of this game, Jackson hit a jtwo-bagger, scoring Collins and Weaver. Jackson admitted that “Lefty” Williams slipped him an envelope containing $5,000, but insisted this incident took place after the World’s Series of 1919.

MAT SHOW HERE FEB. 6 Hugh Nichols, New Welter, Signs for Local Match. Plans were started today for the next wrestling show* with the announcement by' Sam Markus, matchmaker of the Pivot City A. C., that Hugh Nichols. lowa wrestler and protege of the famous Farmer Burns, had signed to appear against an unnamed opponent in the main attraction, Feb. 6. Nichols is anew number for local fans, and in fact, is rather new in the game, having engaged In only six professional matches, all of which have been victories. He is said to be the best prospect turned loose by Farmer Bums in some time. Jack Reynolds discovered Nichols and sent him to the famous Farmer for seasoning and development. He is a welterweight, but is takin gon weight steadily and will be ready for the heavier division In a year or so. SILENT HOOSIERS ACTIVE Deaf Boys to Play Whites town and Frankfort (Jefferson) Teams. After winning two contests over the last week-end the Silent Hoosiers will try their luck this week against the Whitest own High School at Whltestown Friday night, and Jefferson High i School of Frankfort at the Hoosier! Gym Saturday. Practice has been curtailed this week to guard against staleness, and the deaf boys are In good shape for the opposition they will meet Friday 1 and Saturday. The Hoosiers should win at Whltestown. but rougher sledding Is expected when they go against the Frankfort (Jefferson) team.

There is still much doubt among a big majority as to Frankfort's real strength. Many contend, and rightly, too, that Coach Case's five has not met many of the best. Even after last week’s overwhelming defeat of Franklin, the “doubting Thomas” still shakes his head and says: “But Franklin has been in a bad slump lately." Frankfort-Columbus For this reason the Frankfort-at-Columbus game will be watched closely this Friday. Columbus has played most of the “tough” ones and a good comparison can be made. If Frankfort is as good as some say, the team has a fine chance to demonstrate. Muncie defeated Coumbus last week ten points. Another interesting struggle is Muncie at Shelbyville. Here are two exceptional teams. If dope runs true there won't be a great deal of difference in the score when the final gun is fired. The Shelby lads, on their home floor, may stop Muncle's unbroken string of victories. Kokomo-Anderson Anderson, rated by many as the State’s best right now, will have a reputation to live up to. Whether this will hurt or help can be ascertained to some extent Friday when Kokomo is entertained by Stagg’s sharpshooters. Coach Lostutter is determined that his team shall snap out of it and has been drilling Franklin hard. Just what has been accomplished will be evident in the home game with Bloomington. Coach Esarey has some of the fastest cut-in plays under the basket of any team in the State. It will be speed against speed. Richmond's Chance Richmond, which has more or less dropped by the wayside in the fans’ estimation, will play at Connersville with a chance to retrieve a little of its lost “rep." Jeff, of Lafayette is at Greencastle. In the North the big contest is South Bend at Gary. Among the Indianapolis schools Tech has the hard assignment, Bedford at the Stone City. Broad Ripple is at Lancaster. Manual and Shortridge do not play Friday. > They play each other tonight.

SMITH PASSES UP POLITICS TO AID LURING SPORT i Governor Reappoints Muldoon to Commission and Knocks Plum Seekers Dizzy, By HENRY L. FARRELL, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—William Muldoon, the well-known “Duke of Fistiana,” rolled up his sleeves today, polished his iron stick and prepared to do some more hefty swinging in the cauliflower orchard. Governor Smith Wednesday night knocked the populace dizzy when he passed up all the Democratic plum seekers and reappointed Muldoon to the New York athletic commission. Muldoon’s re-appointment was taken to mean that boxing has been removed from its tottering legs and evea those who couldn’t pull their pet jobs when the one-time czar was knocking them right and left were willing to see him return rather than witness the demise of the game. Senator James J. Walker, who restored boxing in New York and who later cast aside all responsibility for its life, remarked Sunday night at the Baseball Writers’ dinner that boxing could only be saved by “a Landis.” The opinion was expressed generally today that Muldoon has all the specifications of “a Landis." He knows the game, he is fearless and he is honest. HENS OBTAIN SOLOMON Giants Release “Jewish Babe Ruth” to Toledo Club. Bu l nitrd Press NEW YORK.

THURSDAY, JAN. 31, 1924,

The improved form and spirit shown by the Americans may have been the result of the riot act which William Haddock, manager of the team, read to his athletes Wednesday. After they had faltered badly in the match against France, Haddock accused them of being willing to accept second place in the championship and of paying too much attention to the word going around that the famed Canadians cannot be beaten. The match between the Americans and the English was one of the fastest so far played in the tournament. The Americans started with great speed and scored the first goal In fifty seconds on a nice piece of work by Drury, who starred throughout the match. The English team played almost entirely on the defense after the Americans had scored six goals in the first preiod
