Shortridge survived the elimination tests Friday and Saturday at the Exposition building, State Fairground, and won thg right to represent the Indianapolis section in the regional eliminations at Anderson ncfxt Saturday. The local winners defeated Valley Mills, Technical, Ben Davis and Manual.
Among the players who fell back, eliminated, there were many who In individual ability were as good as those who made up the Shortridge team and some who If they were on the Blue ajnd W’hite squad would probably make It a stronger machine. 84rebe of Ben Davis was the most finished forward In the tourney, his basket shooting form being perfect. He carried the brunt of the attack for his team. Higgs of Manual, playing with a weak ankle, also displayed some wonderful basket shooting ability from any place on the floor. Llmbach of Warren Central was the best foal goal shooter on the floor, and When his team fell before Ben Davis he kept them in the running with eight points from the foul line. Barinett proved to be an excellent floor worker who could hit the hoop when he tried. Spaulding stood far out above the other centers In the tourney, and was used most ail time In the de-

His only field goal in the Anal game came when the score was tied at twenty all and the two points with just a few second to play were the margin of victory. Dowden was a good all around man.

The big Manual team then started a ralljr and two long shots by Noll from the center of the floor, two under the hoop shots by Martin and a tip-Sn by Higgs boosted their total to eleven.

JACK DEMPSEY ACCEPTS CHALLENGES FOR BOUTS N. Y. Commission in Hole of Own Digging as Heavyweight Champ Says He’ll Fight. By HENRY L. FARRELL Lnited Pre Staff Corrcupondent NEW YORK, March 9. —Jack Dempsey’s reply to the New York boxing commission, accepting the challenge of Harry Wills and Tomy Gibbons, pushed the commission down into a hole of its own digging.
The commission now has two perfectly good heavyweight fights "worth more than a million dollars” an its hands and it doesn't know what to do with them. It is probable an emergency call of distress will be sent in the direction of Madison Square Garden where Tex Rickard is watching the proceedings from a gallery seat. Might Take ‘Shot* Rickard said today that he might take a shot at a Dempsey-Wills fight, but he was not very enthusiastic about it. He said he was not In the business to do errands of mercy and tnct it was all a pure cash proposition with him. If he does decide that it is possible to stag! the fight In New York, he will make a bid for it. but it will not be of the size that Dempsey is expecting. “Jack Kearns said sometime ago that he was going to get $750,000 for Dempsoy'a next fight and If he believes that I think he’s a little bit crazy,” Rickard said. Caab Needed "In these days you have to lay SIOO,OOO on the line before you can make a move to stage a heavyweight championship r.nd you have got to be pretty certain that you are safe when you put that amount down.” The commission meets Tuesday and the reply of Dempsey will be brought up officially. Dempsey’s suggestion that the commission finance and guarantee -the fights cannot be accepted, of course, and that gives Dempsey the out if he is looking for one. SHREWD MR. KEARNS Ihits Promotion of Fights Up to Commission. Bv Time a Special LOS ANGELES, March 9.—Having told the New York boxing commission how lightly he holds its authority, Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey. Is sitting back to await further aggressiveness from the Eastern sport body. Kearns' reply to the commission, however, goes on to accept the challenges, putting the burden of the promotion end directly up to the commission. “He (Dempsey) respectfully invites the New York State Athletic Commission to follow up its matchmaking by acting as the promoters of either bout If it desires that It be presented in New York,” the massage stated. "He asks that the commission give him the financial guarantee in the t'orrti of a cash deposit custom-

Pitchers to “Bear Down” With Catchers Behind Plate —Veteran Steele Shows “Stuff”—First Game on Friday. By EDDIE ASH \ Times Sports Editor PLANT CITY, Fla., March 9.—Following a long practice session Saturday with perfect weather conditions prevailing, and a day of rest Sunday, the Indians today entered upon their second week of training and ready for the second “shot” ot‘ Manager Bush's spring baseball “serum.’’
The athletes will be compelled to be on their toes this week, as the exhibition schedule opens Friday with Tris Speaker’s Cleveland Americans at Plant City. Starting today the Tribe catchers were to go behind the plate during batting prac tics for the first time this spring, and Bush advised Krueger, Florence and Robertson to “get there’’ and pep things up. More on Ball
With the exception of Niles, who is bothered by a lame hand, and Steele, who reported late, the pitchers have reached a point where they can put something dazzling on the ball for brief stretches on the mound. Therefore, the swatters won’t have such easy days as during the first week of work; they will hwve more to guess at. Bob Steele, veteran southpaw, Saturday took a lengthy workout and he displayed signs of possessing a nifty change of pace. This pleased Bush because It is a well-known fact in the American Association that a smart pitcher, with a cleverly concealed change of pace, usually proves a winner. Outfield Problem The outfield problem Is at a standstill. Rehg and Christe/ibury are In camp, but Allen remains on the holdout list. The refusal of Alleu to sign a contract is beginning to get under Owner Smith’s hide, and he is threatening to use extreme measures In dealing with the balking outfielder. Smith paid Cleveland |5,000 for Outfielder Clarke, and the money has been delivered, but it wll 1 be returned If the player refuses to sign. Therefore, with the refund of the “five grand’’ Smith can step out and try for another fielder of class. Maurice Deloof, rookie infielder, Is not showing much skill in the field, and he is not likely to remain long with the Ipdians. Yoter, the other rookie inflelder, continues to display marked ability. He is a clever fielder and a rifle shot thrower, but his batting power remains to be debated. Discussing the extra in fielder problem, from the viewpoint of a critic, it is apparent the extra man must be able to play first base In an emergency In case Schmandt would be Incapacitated by sickness or injury. Yoter is short In stature. Therefore, a hunch is felt that Man ager Bush soon will be searching for anew infield “extra."
