TRIBE BOSS BOOKS GIANTS FOR EXHIBITION CONTEST

Will Play in Plant City on March 16 Dickering With Buffalo Club Also? J ' By EDDIE; ASH Times Sports Editor PLANT CITY, Fla., March 6. —Owner Smith made a hurried trip to Saraaota Thursday to see John McGraw and on his return late at night he announced he had reached an agreement with the New York Giants to play the Indians in Plant City March 16. The exhibition game between the National League champions and Ownie Bush’s Iloosiers doubtless will be an outstanding feature in sports along the Dixie Highway.

Smith also said the Buffalo club of the International League probably wo Old be booked for a contest at Plant City. The Indians have arranged an attractive schedule for their training camp boosters, the program including struggles with the Washington Senatora, 1924 world's champions; New York Giants, the defeated team in the 1924 worlds' series; Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland,' Philadelphia Nationals and probably Buffalo. Promised Pitcher McGraw once more positively promised to send the Tribe a twirler of quality, according to Smith, and also mentioned that some good New York surplus outfield talent is available for Indianapolis usage If Allen, Chrlstenbury and Clarke continue to hold out. In addition to the daily brilliant performance of Johnny Hotiapp, the feature of the Tribe practice Thursday was the encouraging showing of catcher Florence and the batting of Deloof. Florence displayed a rifleshot throwing arm and strong batting prowess. Deloof poked two oyer the far right field fence, but his work during infield practice did not measure up to league standard. Schrelber’s catlike handling a ball at shortstop pleased Bush and the peppery Tribe boss again waxed enthusiastic over his Infield roster. Yoter teas given a trial at second after Sicking retired, and fielded well. , Deloof followed Hodapp at third base but failed to show good. Hard Worker The Deloof boy is a terrific worker, however, and may come through later. Krueger. Florence and Robertson each took a turn behind the bat Thursday and the following hurlers took easy workouts on the mound: Burwell, 'Hiompnon, (Vessel, Schemanske, Hill and Niles. Thompson displayed signs of possessing a fast ball and Schemanske appeared promising. Caseel looked "Just fair” and as for Burwell. Hill and Niles, the Indianapolis fans know their rating from past experiences.

Bu Times Soecial FRANKLIN. Ind.. March The De Pauw netters defeated Franklin here last night, 33 to 23, in a game marked by a wonderful •comeback on the part of the Tigers. The Greenrastle five got off to a bad start and for the first ten minutes it looked like a runaway for the Wagnermen. Five points were chalked up by the locals before De Pauw counted, and at the middle of the first period Franklin led, 11 to 5. Then the visitors took time out and talked it over to good effect, for when play was resumed they "got going” and at half-time were but two points beh*nd, 17 to 16. Tie It Up Starting the second half, De Pauw knotted the count and then went ahead on field goals by Stuart and Ward. The diminutive Ward flashed over the floor in sensational style and was responsible for the great showing of De Pauw in the second half. Vandivier then sank two fouls to again tie the score. Wilson went in for Puckett, who was ruled out on personals and immediately made a field goal to again put the visitors in the lead. Friddle came back with one point on a foul, and from then

on, during the last ten minutes of play, Franklin counted but one more point, that on a foul toss by Vandivier. Stuart, Ward, Wilson and Struck counted from the field, the last basket for De Pauw being a sensational heave from far out by Ward. . Defense Airtight The De Pauw derense in the second period was almost airtight, the Grizmen being held at a safe distance. When Franklin did break through for shots, the breaks were against them and the best they could get were “leaners.” Vandivier and Gant were outstanding for the locals, the former showing deadly aim on the foul line. For Ward and Hirt deserve mention, the latter Jumping center and dropping back, as he did in the Butler game. He proved a stone wall under the basket and was seldom beaten on the tip.

Kendallville, Portland, New Harmony, Columbia City and Winslow are the laggards and the meets at those,centers do not open until Saturday morning.

Five meets got under way this morning, including the local play at the Exposition building. State Falrground. Others which started this A. M. were Martinsville, Shelby ville, Winchester and Versailles. The tourneys which were to commence this afternoon follow: Angola, Auburn, Bedford, Brazil, Clinton, Columbus, Connersville, Crawfords ville, Danville, Decax tur, Evansville, Ft. Wayne, Franklin, Greenfield, Huntington, Jasper, Kokomo, Lafayette, I jin ton, Madison, Muncie, Newcastle New Albany, Noblesville, North Manchester, Oxford, Princeton, Richmond, Roc lice ter, Royal Center, Rnshvtlle, Seymour, Sullivan, Terre Haute, Valparaiso, Vincennes and Warsaw. Those which do not start until tonight: Anderson, Attica, Bainbridge, East Chicago, Elkhart, Flora, Frankfort, Kentland, Le Porte. Lebanon, Marion, Mishawaka, Monticello, Montpelier, Peru, Plymouth and Tell City. The Most Teams The Indianapolis sectional and Winchester have the greatest number of teams competing, sixteen. The smallest number are in the Winslow tourney where only five toe the mark. New Harmony has only six clubs in the running. The local meet will he the biggest in point of attendance. The large enrollment of tlie Indianapolis schools plus a place to play which will hold the crowds, is sure to give the record to this city. The usual enthusiasm was apparent early this morning as the crowds of young fans full of pepper thronged eagerly out to the Fairground. Basketball was in the air. Basketball, basketball. basketball was heard on every side. Old and young discussed the chances of the local teatns—sortie

with knowledge of what they were saying—others without. But that made no difference in the arguments. Plenty of Arguments Sport a.nd basketball is something on which every one is sure hq has the latest dope. All are experts. They have convinced themselves at any rate. This morning every one was trying to convince every one else. * Manual rooters said Manual woud win. Shortridge said the same, Technical, ditto. And so on down the line. Don’t for a minute think the county fives considered themselves out of the running. A lot of those differences of opinion will be settled by Saturday night. In fact, only one team in each center, sixty-four in all, will have much to say. And the sectional rooters will have to wait untlHpe reglonals for further argumentation. The reglonals are scheduled at eight centers on March 14. Then sixteen teams come to Indianapolis to decide the State champion on March 20 and 21. Then it’s all over till another year. And the arguments can start all over. The local tourney opened at 9 a. m., with Technical meeting Ijßwrence. It was the largest school against one of the smallest. Tech rooters filled plenty of bleacher seats and yelled until their voices were husky. Three contests made up the card tills morning, four this afternoon and two tonight. Shortridge was the favorite In the Indianapolis center, but the sans conceded that “anything might happen.” Talaber in Match Bu United Press CHICAGO, March 6.—Lou Talaber, middleweight wrestling champion, and John Nllonls, Norfolk, Va_, meet tonight in the main bout of a wrestling show.
