H. A . C. Strong in Amateur Meet — City Independent Basket Finals Tonight

Fowler and Mulholland Among- Stars in Heavy Fistic Divisions Former Probably Will Meet Notre Dame Mauler, i Ward Fowler and George Mulholland are two of the big fellows who will look after the affairs of the Hoosier Athletic |olub in the three-day Indiana-Kentuckv A. A. U. boxing championships, which start Thursday at the H. A. C. gymnasium. Fowler is a heavyweight and Mulholland a light heavy.

In addition to a string of amateur boxing titles, in which is included the 1922 national amateur light heavyweight championship. Mulholland is well known as a football player, having played at guard last fall on Pat Page's Butler machine. The three months on the gridiron put Mulholland in the best shape he has been for several seasons, and H. A. C. officials expect him to go through the tournament this week without a great deal of opposition. Fowler, who is recognized as one of the best amateur heavyweights in the State, is not expected to have such an easy time of it. Confronting Fowler in the heavyweight division will be Rip Miller, husky Notre Dame football star, who is the big noise of the Irish boxing team this year. It is almost a certainty that these two men will meet sometime during the tournament and the feature battle of the three-day program is forecast when they get together.

EXTERMINATOR COMEBACK GIVES TURFDOM THRILL Famous Old Race Horse Displays Good Form at Tia Juana Track—to Enter $40,000 Event, By United Financial TIA JUANA, Mex., Feb. 19.—A hero of the turf has returned; an old-timer, fineboned, rangy and slim, started his seventh year of racing here Sunday by winning a race over a mile and 70 yards. And the boss? Exterminator, of course; the best gelding that ever performed over American tracks, and many are who contend he is the best ever produced anywhere.

Exterminator, now a 9-year-old, won Sunday over a field that might be called cheap without exaggeration, but the old fellow won, and won handily, SPRING GRID AT SHORIRIDGE HIGH Coach Goldsberry Issues Call for Football Material, Shortridge will have spring football practice.

BUTLER-WABASH ON (MIGHT Local Fans to See Rivals at Tomlinson Hall, Butler is all pepped up for the Wabash net game tonight at Tomlinson Hall. The Irvington fans believe the team has found itself finally and will give the Crawfordsville outfit a defeat in return for the loss on the Wabash floor. It does appear as though the Butlerites are playing better ball than at any time this year. The Wisconsin, Marquette and Hanover games seem to bear out this theory. Coach Page says the team is in gvg)d shape physically. Wallie Middleworth is reported as being ready to go. Wabash will have anew floor guard in the person of Crlpe, who has just become eligible. He seems to have the call for that job. The main game is at 8 p. m. with a curtain-raiser between two Butler freshman teams.

after having been regarded for a year as one that could not possibly be brought to the races again. Consistent Performer Although he is third on the list of big American money winners, “Old I Slim” over a'period of four consecutive racing years was the most consistent performer the present generation of horsemen ever saw. He was good as a juvenile, but it was not until he won the Kentucky Derby in 1918 that he began to be appreciated at his true worth. Then he was on his way. In 1919, ’2O and ’2l he won the two-mile-and-a-quarter Pimlico cup; in 1919, '2O, ’2l and ’22 he was winner of the Sartoga cup. Although he was never regarded as primarily a sprinter, Exterminator began the 1922 season by picking up 132 pounds and beating the famous Billy Kelly over the sixfurlong route, Billy Kelly's favorite distance. Retired Last Spring Last spring, picking up 132 pounds in the Dominion Handicap at Havre De Grace, Exterminator was beaten by a nose by Chick Vale under 101 pounds. His defeat was largely due to a weak ride- by Jockey Johnson. Soon after that race Exterminator went wrong and was retired temporarily. To say Exterminator ever will return to his early form would be taking an unwarranted chance, but the old gelding, on Sunday’s showing, has a magnificent chance in the $40,000 Coffroth Handicap and later at the $25,000 Pimlico cup at Pimlico.

PROMOTERS MUST DISPLAY COIN OR CEASE SHOUTING Demand Made on Raymond for $50,000 Guarantee— Rickard Not Worried, By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Feb. 19.—Forced to a show-down by the wily Louie Firpo, the ‘'million dollar’’ syndicate that was bidding for a Firpo-Wills match will have to find an outdoor stadium or admit it was only spoofing. Lew Raymond, spokesman for the group of millionaire sportsmen who were to give Firpo and Wills $250,000 and stage the fight in a sunken concrete stadium in Connecticut that would seat 120,000, said today he had asked for another day’s grace. Raymond needs $60,000 to deposit in a New- York bank as a guarantee that he is aspiring to do more than get his name in the papers and help Harry Wills get advertising. Apparently, Raymond hasn’t the $50,000 or it would have been posted before this. Tex Rickard has laughed from thi start about the offer made by the syndicate, and it was taken seriously in only a few- places. Rickard declared an effort was being made to get the contracts so they might be sold to him for a brokerage profit.

Eight thousand fans turned out here in the big Michigan gym to see the AVolverines take another Hoosier scalp in t'ne Big Ten basketball race and were treated to a surprise when Indiana "U” put up a defensive battle that stopped the Michiganders and then nosed- out a victory in the final minute. 23 to 22.

His last toss won the contest. Logan and Sponsler cut in with two baskets each. Haggerty was the whole show on the Michigan attack with five field goals. Indiana led at the half, 11 to 8. Ciuci Coming Champ? Tifomy McNamara was the original Gene Sarazen booster. Two years ago he predicted the little Italian would be the next open champion and he was. % Now McNamara says the same thing of Henry Ciuci, another youthful Italian, wintering in Florida. Ciuci had a 71 at Inwood last summer.

GOLF SERIES NO. 11 Big Aid to Golfer Is Concentration By JOE WILLIAMS NEA Service Stiff Writer

Ar GREAT deal of unmitigated bunk is written in the guise i___ of helpful golf a.dvlce. One expert will tell you the full tee shot with the graceful follow through is the proper and

authentic technique. Another, that the half swing with the sudden wrist snap at the moment of impact is by all means the approved operation. Asa matter of fact, either is correct. Whether you* take a full swing with n follow through Or a half swing with a "punch” is a matter of choice. The main idea is to time the shot with precision. A perfectly timed shot will bring gratify-

ing results no matter how it is hit. However, one phase of golf on which even divergent analysis of experts cannot lead you astray is concentration. This is an unromantic word with a professional tone, but it is as important to golf success as clams are to chowder. You cannot aspire to reasonably good golf until you have mastered concentration. One of the finest examples of what concentration can do for a golfer’s game is Franois Ouimet, Jprmer national amateur and open champion. "I think that was the first thing I learned about the game,’’ se.ys Ouimet. “I wasn't long in finding out that the mor# thought

I put into a shot the more success I got out of it. “An experience with Jerry Travers, the old Metropolitan player, in one of my early chhmpionshlp matches proved an illumi-

nating lesson. I was still somewhat of a kid at the. time. The lottery of the draw threw me against the groat Travers. This in itself was a wonderful thrill, and I decided I ought to show him how happy I was. “I went about it by chatting in neighborly fashion between shots during the early stages of the match, applauding Jerry’s fine game and asking many silly questions. "All I got out of Jerry was a heavy and pro-

longed silence. As I recall it now, he didn’t speak one word all during the match. He had come out to play in a championship, not to enter a conversational marathon. "And I’ll say he played great golf. I was snowed under completely by a 6 to 5 score or some Such margin. Unlike Jerry, I had my mind set on making him realize how glad I was to play with him, and as a consequence I played few good shots. "I do remember, though, that I finally shut up and played the last holes a bit more decently. Travers gave me an unforgettable lesson that day, and ever since I have placed my chief dependence on concentration.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

O r ~ N'E of the worst abused individuals in baseball, next to the umpire of course, is the coacher at third base. One of the most Important features of the game, It seldem calls for praise from the fans, yet constantly places the person acting in that capacity open to censure. • • • • More games are lost at third base each year through bad coaching than arc decided by dropped fly- balls,” was the remark once made to me by a well known manager. • • • • HE day previous, with no one out and the home team three runs to the bad, the first batter up ip the last half of the ninth hit the left field fence with a line drive. It was apparent when the ball was hit that the batsman would have no great trouble making three bases. With no good reason, the runner decided to try for a home run, the coacher also motioned him to break for the plate. He was thrown out on a close play. • • * • Several hits followed this bad piete of base running. Before the side was retired two runs were scored, one shy of a tie. Bad judgment on the first pldy of the inning proved disastrous, probably killed the chance to win. • • * • EKW players relish the job of coaching at third base. Some managers who fear not the wrath < f the fans handle the job. Most of them, however, delegate some seasoned player for the all Important position. Very often he Is some veteran star acting as assistant to the manager. One day last summer I heard- Jimmy Burke, assistant to Frank Chance at Boston, soundly- “razzed” when he had made the proper play. Jimmy didn't like it and I didn’t blame him. He looked at mo with a. puzzled expression andmerely remarked. "Can you heat It?” * • * * * Tlio play Involved just such a situation as I previously described. Boston was irailing four or five runs’when the first batter np in the ninth hit safely. • *> * • \VT HFN the player rounded second and was on the way to third W Burke, playing proper baseball, motioned for the runner to pull up at third. One run at that stage of the game meant nothing, Boston had to get four or five. It was no place to take a chance on sending the runner home. It so happened that the fielder who made the throw to the plate cut loose a bad peg that eluded the, catcher, and on which the runner could have easily made the plate, had he kept on running. Then it was that Burke was showered with words uncomplimentary. Yet he had made the only proper play in holding the runner ut third. • * • • Unquestionably the coacher at third has a lough job. He must liave good judgment and a keen eye. He must be able to rate the speed of the runner and the throwing ability of the man handling the ball. Ho must use snap judgment and then ride through. No wonder players do not relish the third base eoaehing job.

TAYLOR FLASHES WAY TO LAURELS IN NABLE BATTLE ‘‘Wildcat’ Nearly Disposes of Opponent in First Round —Other Local Bouts, Tlie “Wildcat” was in form at Tomlinson Hall Monday night. Bud Taylor, the lad who always gives Indianapolis ring fans the best he knows, decisively outpointed Sammy Nable, New York bantam, in the tenround main event of Steve Harter’s fistic show. The Terre Haute blonde tried hard for a knockout and he nearly disposed of Nable in the first round. The eastern scrapper was down for the count of three once and six when the bell sounded. Nable’s seconds brought him around during the minute rest and by holding tight when danger threatened Sammy was able to recuperate and escape the toll of ten. Nable was in a bad way later, but he kept his chin away from Taylor’s right and thereby weathered the ten rounds. He took a beating, however, and he was badly marked up at the finish. Eddie McGoorty, former middleweight star, refereed and he spent a busy evening prying Nable off Taylor. McGoorty subbed for Walter Eckersall, who was forced to cancel the engagement here owing to business reasons. The hall was packed for the occasion and the show went, over big.
