Gibbons and Dempsey Scrap May 31 —Wabash and Butler Clash Tuesday
Date Is Unofficial, but It Is Believed Rickard Has Decided—Decision Bout Necessary to Attract, He Says. By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Jack Dempsey and Tommy Gibbons, principals in the “bust of Shelby,” are to meet again at the Polo Grounds Saturday, May 31. This is a guess, arrived at by the wellknown process of putting “two and two together.” It is certain they are going to fight again. Tex Rickard said so Saturday night in an exclusive story to the United Press.
Rickard was unwilling for the present, he said, to name the exact date ’or the place. However, he has an established preference for dates near a holiday. Memorial day comes on Friday this year and in Greater New York it is the custom of commercial and professional •'firms to declare the week-end off when a national holiday falls on Friday. The Yankees are at home on Memorial day and the Giants are away. This leaves the Polo Grounds idle and Rickard has an arrangement with the owners of the Giants for use of their ball park. Infield and outfield belong to the property of the ball park and the installation of the seats would require only a trivial expense. Since Gibbons went fifteen rounds with Dempsey last summer, Rickard is said to feel that a decision bout is necessary to attract a big house and this lets Jersey out. LODGE-FIRPO BOUT NEXT SATURDAY Luis Objects, but Promoters Win the Argument, By United Press BUENOS AIRES. Feb. 18.—Luis Angel Firpo, South American heavyweight champion, and Farmer Lodge. American heavyweight, will fight here next Saturday night. The fight was scheduled for last Saturday, but. a heavy rainfall caused it to be postponed. Firpo objected strenuously to the postponement of a week, claiming that there was no reason why the contest should not be staged tonight. Promoters overruled (him. The promoters will have to find a new referee satisfactory to the principals. as the- minister of war. ordered Lieutenant Hector Mendez, who had been chosen to referee, to decline the appointment. It was said army officers could officiate at professional bouts.

GOLF SERIES NO. 10 Joe Kirkwood Is Called Mystery of Golf By JOE WILLIAMS J SEA. Service Staff Writer
mOE KIRKWOOD is golf’s most baffling mystery. He has more shots at his command than any other golfer in the game. • • He can play any shot as well
*sf not better than any champion that ever livej. He can perform greater miracles with a golf ball than any of his contemporaries. And ye; he can not win a championship. To be the most gifted shot maker in the game—the Hoppe of your sport—and yet to have the national championship elude you year after year, this is a situation that only the psychologists can explain.
Kirkwood's fame as a trick shot player is world wide. His ability as an all-round expert golfer needs no recommendation. In minor championships this ability reaches astonishing heights. * But in the big championships it fails him dismally. Kirkwood should have won the British open championship at Troon last spring. Coming down the stretch on the last day’s play he had a five-stroke lead on the field with but six or seven holes to play. It looked as if he were fiMUly cpming into his own. Then the inevitable slump set in. His game went to pieces and he fin- ■ isfied down the list, back of Havers, Hagen and Sns4h. ,

Captain Pence went over the bar at six feet in the high Jump.
Oddly enough one of the greatest shots Kirkwood ever played, he says, was in this tournament. It was a wooden shot to the home green during the final round, a sort of Ironical climax of a golf-
ing nightmare. Hear about it in Kirkwood's words: “We w’ere playing in a terrific wind. I got the kind of drive I wanted, except that the ball rested on the left side of the fairway, giving me a testing shot to a fiercely trapped green more than 200 yards away. “In order to get on f had to hit not only a full stroke, but one with a ‘cut’ on it, so that the ball would carry the traps and
r.,Wr".L.
then hold the green. What made it all the more testing was the thought that I still had a chance to win. MacDonald Smith was leading at the time and a par four would tie him. “It is difficult to play a shot that will fade to the right when the wind is blowing a gale in the same direction. This is a shot that gives me concern even in exhibitions when nothing is at stake. “Somehow or other I got the ball just right this time. It startlow’, climbed into the wind, ■eemed to stop completely and then began to drift, finally coming to rest/ten feet frojn the pin. “And tWpn, curses, I took three putts.’!
THE IN DIANAPOLiIS TiMEei
S'" TANLEY HARRIS, age 27, Is to manage the Washington Americans this year. He Is the youngest manager ever to grace big league circles. Harris is a brilliant player. He is a great mechanic and has a keen mind, two necessary assets to be classed among the great3 of baseball. Harris Is aggv 'ssive, yet it is of the gentlemanly type. He has plenty of courage. The chap who coined the word quit isn’t on speaking terms with Harris. The new manager of the Nationals plays out the string, isn’t beaten until the ball game is over. • • * Harris has ever}' essential of a great ball player. He has proved he is such. With the big opportunity just ahead he must deliver as a manager as lie has come through as a player to win equal fame. • * • mT IS far from nn easy Job , t Harris faces. His club finished in the first division last year, fourth. To do as well as his predecessor, Harris must at least tie that performance. With a number of American league clubs showing decidedly increased strength, it Isn’t going to be a soft task. Washington fans, like fans the world over, are mighty critical and of course will judge Harris on the results he attains. Carrying the managerial burdens of a big league club is a job in itself. This gives rise to the thodght as t whether or not the play of Harris will be affected by the woes that always befall big league leader. • * *; Harris Iras always been a progressive ball player. Never satisfied, he Is always seeking to perfect his play. He is certain to carry a constructive policy into his work as manager of the Washington Club. • • • T~| UST a glimpse of the intimate side of Harris. A difficult play for I every second baseman is pulling a double play on a ground ball that J is hit to him with a runner on first, and fielded by the second baseman just as the runner coming from first is a few feet away. . Forcing this player to stop, or causing him to drop to the ground to avoid the touch, then making the play to first, getting the batter, followed by Cunning the other player down between the bases is an art. Often, if the fielder persists in first touching out the runner coming to second he is so delayed he fails to get his man at first. • • * ‘‘That is a play I am weak on,” remarked Harris to me a few years ago, as Eddie Collins pulled the stunt perfectly. ‘‘l’ll get it yet," added Harris. • • • EAST season on three different occasions I saw Harris make the play with the greatest of ease. After one of the plays I commented on the fact. He tpld me he had spent more time working out the proper way to perform that double play than any oth£r feature of his work. But he finally got it, as he said he would. Stanley Harris is a determined young man. He will give the Job of managing a big league ball club a real battle.

INDIANA TEAM AT MICHIGAN TONIGHT FOR GIG TEN GO Hoosier Squads Have Disastrous Week-End —Wisconsin Leads Conference, The week-end proved rather disastrous to Hoosier Big Ten basketball aspirations. Purdue was beaten in decisive fashion at Michigan and Indiana “U” lost a close decision at Ohio State. Both losses meant a drop in the standing for the representatives of this State. The Boilermakers slid from a tie for first place to a tie for second and I. U. exchanged places wdth Ohio and went into fifth position. Indiana meets Michigan tonight, and from the way the Wolverines went against Purdue the Crimson have a real task before them. On Saturday nighE I. U. plays Chicago at Bloomington. The boilermakers have two contests on the schedule this week, with Northwestern at Evanston Wednesday and r return game with Michigan on Saturday. Wisconsin, by its one-point victor}’ over Illinois last week, is leading the Western Conference. The Badgers have the easties schedule from here on in. Their game with Ohio State at Columbus is the toughest assignment.
TWO BIG FEATURES FOR H. S. FANS THIS WEEK Shelbyville at Martinsville for Gym Opening and Bedford Goes to Anderson—Tournament Time Approaches, One last week of regularly scheduled competition for the high school basketball teams over the State and then tournament time. The nearer the time approaches for the real test the harder it is to select the winner of the annual championship. Two of the favorites, Bedford and Anderson, were defeated last week. Any number of teams look as though they have a splendid chance to cop.
It may be that a team which has a strong defense will be the surprise of the meet. It seems that in the scramble for baskets the important featur-! of holding clown the score of the opponents has been completely forgotten In many instances. Never has there been so many high score games. Example of Defense As an example of defense. Wisconsin and Illinois battled forty minutes Saturday with a final score of 13 to 12. There are good shots on both those teams, but the system has been built more around defense than attack. That is Doc Meanwell’s way. Coach Ruby of Illinois was a player under MeanweJl at Missouri “U.” A good defensive team may win the tourney. If no such team springs up then one of the flfty-point-a-game squads will very probably take the 3924 championship. Outstanding Battles i Some outstanding battles are on the program for tills final week. Shelbyville High School at Martinsville on Thursday at the dedication of the huge new gym will be the feature event. The new structure seats 5,200 persons. AMUSEMENTS
