BT HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Business in the major leagues ought to be helped this year by publication of testimony taken In the Dolan-O’Con-nell scandal, In the opinion of smart baseball men. Text of the testimony failed to show the existence, of a master mind or a gambling ring in the plot and did not bear out suspicion that Dolan and O’Connell did not originate the Idea. “With the fans taken completely into confidence of baseball heads, and with the prospect for another fine pennant race this year, I believe CASTING CLUB IN ANNUALMEETING i|ection of Officers —To Membership Drive.

the baseball season will be a good one,” John A. Heydler, president of the National League said today. How About Brooklyn? Heydler believes four teams —New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati will be In the race for the pennant from start to finish. “The Giants,” he said, “have been rebuilt into practically a new team. Terry, Frisch, Jackson and Lindstrom are the makings of one of the youngest Infields that ever played in the league, and Wilson Is a most promising young outfielder. ‘The Pirates and Cubs were both improved by the trade between them, and the Reds have a formidable team that didn’t live up to expectations last year because of bad luck and injuries.” New Talent Promising Heydler believes that among the young players coming up this year some stare as good as those developed last season will be discovered. Bell of the St. Louis Cardinals, Dressen of the Cincinnati Reds and Welch of the Boston Braves are among the most promising, he said. ‘We had an unusual number of star players developed last year,” Heydler said. “Pittsburgh had the best luck in finding Wright, Cuyler, Moore and Yde. The Reds got a fine youngster in Grits* The Giants brought out Terry, Jacksom Lindstrom and Wilson. Brooklyn was helped by Brown's comeback and by the fine work of a number of veterans.”

Systematic Offense Is Big Problem in Basketball

By COACH L. T. TURNER, Southern California University. Ts" IHE subject of systematic, consistent offense, I believe, presents greater problems for the coaches and players of basketball today than the problem of defense. The five-man defense in some form or other can be made the most difficult of any defense to penetrate. It is being almost universally adopted. On the offensive problem, however, coaches stand divided. Some STRONG TRAINING CARD SCHEDULED FOR BUSIES TRICE Eight Games in Florida and Two Here — Squad Leaves Early. Ten games have been arranged for Ownie Bush’£ Indians during their spring training period, eight in Florida and two in Indianapolis, Vice President W. S. Smith, Jr., hopes to add two more exhibition contests to the Florida card, one to be with the New York Giarits at Plant City. The Indians went big last spring in their exhibition struggles, and they were the talk of the Southland. Some critics say exhibition victories don’t mean anything, bnt Manager Bush proved said critic* were wrong. His athletes started their gallop In Florida and. they continued the Bame speed during the championship campaign. The Tribe squad will leave Indianapolis Feb. 28 and remain in Florida until about April 7. It will be a long grind for the athletes, but Bush believes in strenuous training practice in qrder to have his men at the top of tbelr form when the schedule opens. The Tribe exhibition program follows: March 13 —Cleveland at Plant City. March 16 —Cleveland at Lakeland. March IP—Washington at Plant City. March 20—Philadelphia National* at Biadentown. ' March 26—Cincinnati at Plant Ctty. March 26—Philadelphia Nattonale at Plant City. , I March 30—Cincinnati at Orlando. April I—Buffalo at Plant City. April 11. 12—Chicago White Sox vs. Indians at Washington Park, Indianapolis. Secretary William Clauer departed for Florida Saturday for two weeks’ vacation. He Is visiting In Miami. President W. C. Smith, Sr., also Is In Florida visiting on the west coast.

adhere entirely to the long pass game, some to the short pass game, others to a combination of both styles of play, and lastly a trust-to-luck system, in which group there is a vast majority. All have been successfully used and some fairly consistently. Perhaps the physical make-up and skill of the players determine this issue. I, however, favor the combination of the ..long pass and the short pass offense. Briefly stated, my reasons for fs.voring this style of game are; ’ §/ 1. One long pass parallel to the center of the floor takes the hall out of the opponent’s shooting zone. 2. If the out-of-bounds play Is not looked upon as a resting period the pass can be made to beat the forming of the opponent’s defense. 3. The short pass offense, which requires great drive and endur-

MUNN SAYS WIFE TOLD HIM TO TRY WRESTLING Household Needed Coin and 'Hubby' Followed Instructions—New Champ Willing to Meet All Comers. Bu Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 12.—Twenty-seven years ago in a tiny Kansas village, a squawling and husky youngster lustily announced his arrival to the neighbors, the census taker and to the world at large or any part of it that was interested. Today this same youngster, now one of the most powerful men in athletics, Wayne (Big) Munn, is the heavyweight wrestling champion of the world.

At the ag-e of 8 Munn planned to be a great man some aay. The village doctor was bowed tq by every one he noticed, and seemed to be most important. Right then and there he decided to become a doctor. Studied Surgery Munn graduated from high school in Nebraska, where his parents had moved, and entered the State University at Lincoln. For three years he studied surgery and also won fame as a lineman on the University of Nebraska football team. Then came the World War. He enlisted, and when discharged became an automobile salesman. “I guess I’ll never be a doctor now, but don’t you know I still think I’d have been a good one,” the champion admitted modestly, Saturday, "How did I get Into the wrestling game? Well, It was this way. I always have been in athletics and never have dissipated. Every time there v/aa a match I’d be there.” Started in. February “Finally my wife said, 'Wayne, why don’t you wrestle and make some money?’ and I didn’t see any reason why I shouldn’t try to please her and I did. This was lgot February. I’ve had some pretty good luck. “Was I ever a prize-fighter? Well, now, listen a minute. I thought I’d like to whip Jack Dempsey apd started out with a fellow named Jack Clifford, at Sioux City, lowa. I got by the first round fine. But in the second, Oh, boy, I can still remember that. “Where did he hit me? What part of me did he miss, you mean, don’t you? I saw a couple thousand gloves coming at me, and then the roof caved In. “Yes, I’m going to wrestle them all. Os course every champion says that, but I mean it It,” Munn concluded. jr ■ Turners Cop Again The South Side Turners continued at a fast clip on Sunday afternoon apd defeated the Falrbanks-Morse five, 54 to 33.

ance, should start from the center of the floor. If the opponents have failed to form their defense the work of advancing the ball Is less strenuous because a defense behind a driving offense is not effective unless illegal guarding is permitted by officials. 4. Aim to drive the short pass offense down the center of the floor. This permits men to cut in advance of man in possession of bail from both sides of the court. It eliminates being forced out of bounds on side-line play and also prevents shooting from corner of court. ( 6. In the short pass game a player should move toward and In advance of men passing to him. Never figure that ball should be passed to you when you are standin* flat-footed. The man passing the ball should out in back of the man receiving the pass. The shorter the pass, the safer the

doing. The races were held In Madison Square Garden, New York, before a crowd of nine thousand. Photo shows Ritola (right) oongratulatlng Nurmi. Inset, Jole Ray.

Lastly, proper timing determines the smoothness with which a team works. Try to arrive at the spot where you are to receive the ball at the last possible moment. Remember a guard's action follows your action. Constant drill on floor formations is necessary before every man will know his place and duty.

PURDUE NEHERS OPEN HOME CARD ASWAN Squad In Hard .Drill for Wednesday Game —Forward Jobs Uncertain, Bu Times Special LAFAYETTE, lnd., Jan. 12. —Purdue, shaken a hit by its tumble at lowa, began getting itself together here today to meet the Invasion of the Michigan five, which Is scheduled in Memorial gymnasium here Wednesday evening at 7:80 o’clock. Four of Lambert’s players against the Hawkeyes were receiving their Big Ten baptism, Including Jolly, Neuman, Wright and Cramer, while two others who got into the game, Taube and Rigsby, have had but little Conference experience. A stiff workout today concluded the Boilermakers’ preparation for the Michigan game, as Lambert intends to give his charges only a short drill Tuesday. Purdue’s offense functioned In fair fashion against lowa, although the men lose numerous shots, but the defensive tactics were far from pleasing, and there Is little doubt hut that If a rapid Improvement Is not shown the team will be subjected to a shake-up. A capacity crowd Is expected to watch the Wolverines open Purdue’s home schedule. Including a number of Michigan alumni in this State.

Vaughan’s men have not won on the hardwood from their Greencaatle rivals for two years and are anxious to even up a few old scores. The locals have not met any State college teams as yet, but have won six out of seven starts against fairly strong opposition. On comparative score dope the Scarlet appears to have the edge and the local collegians are favorites before the battle. Captain Chadwick injured his bad leg in the final practice session Saturday and may not be in the best of shape. Thompson and Edwards are the alternates at the pivot job If the lanky leader cannot stand the pace. Wabash Is depending much on its flashy pair of sophomore forwards, Robinson and Be Vol. These men, at that, may find the going plenty tough against one of the best guards in Hoosierdom, Capt. “Tiny” Hirt of De Pauw. The two clubs usually stage a thriller and they appear evenly enough matched to cause plenty of excitement tonight. De Pauw tfka some good basket snipers and the Wabash guards may find their hands full watching Ward, Stewart and Sturtridge. STATE BILLIARD TITLE AT STARE Cooler Has Chance to Win Honors Tonight.
