Joe Stoessel I Up Again Hopes to Stage Comeback in Match With Qui/itm Romero—Winner May Meet Harry Wills

Bu Times Special NEW YORK, March 14.—Joe Stoessel, the one-time amateur heavyweight champion boxer, who looks more like Jess Willard than Willard himself, will fight Quintin Romero, the Chilean who chased Luis Firpo out of South America, fiext Wednesday night. They have contracted to stumble twelve rounds or less at the Manhattan Casino, near the Polo grounds, with the expectation that the winner will be fed to Harry Wills a few weeks later as an appetizer for Wills’ summer fare. Stoessel is making his second start as a professional fighter. He fought a few professional fights for pay just after he won the amateur title, but found the pleasure exceedingly rough and therefore went back to his basic vocation, dealing fifty - pound chunks of chill off the tailboard of an ice wagon. Lately Dan Morgan, the manager who “made” Battling Levinsky. took Mold of Stoessel and drilled him in Ihe sly manners of the professipal Hug with such success that Stoessel amazed h.mself by going twelve rounds with Jack Renault, the Canadian, without once being floored. Elkhart Handicapped Bu Times Special ELKHART, Ind., March 14.—Elkhart High School five entered the regional tournament at Ft. Wayne today crippled by injuries and hard hit by influenza.

Tribe Notes

Christenbury got a triple and two walks In four trips to the plate against Cleveland. He reached first base once on an error. He crossed the plate four times. Yoter relieved Christie in the seventh and smacked out a double, scoring Schrieber. In the tenth inning Yoter walked and sprinted to third on Slcking’s short single. It was the best exhibition of base-running of the afternoon. Jamieson made a perfect throw, but Yoter made a headlong dive and reached the bag safely. Hodapp then clinched victory for the Tribe by scoring Yoter with a sharp one-base knock. Cleveland got five hits off Petty In the first inning, but two of the drives were of the pop-fly variety fiat Clarke was unable to reach because of soft sand in center field. Christenbury was cheated out of a peculiar base-hit in the sixth. He drove a sky-high pop-fly and Shortstop Seweell and Catcher Myatt became confused on it. The ball came down in the pitcher’s box, bounded and struck Sewell on the knee and rolled ovor the third-base line toward the Indians’ bench. Christenbury reached second easily, but the plate umpire ruled foul ball. The Indians protested, but later laughed it off when they decided the umpire merely pulled an "ivory.’.’ The hard-hitting Jamieson got only one safe drive off tine Hooeier hurlers. Shemanske pitched the last four innings for the Indians and displayed good stuif, but his control was bad. He got in holes, but the breaks were with him. In the eighth inning two visitors hit safely, two walked and one was side-swiped by a curve. There was a stolen base also, but only one man scored. Clarke mode two circus catches In center field. Krueger juggled a few at Schmandt’s first-base job, but the player must rwt several days more. Tria Speaker used eighteen players in the contest and Bush used thirteen. UBilly Evans, American League umpire and sports scribe, attended the Friday exhibition. Irwin Howe, noted baseball statistician, also was present. Visiting photographers took a number of "shots” of Johnny Hodapp. Evans and Hows said they would return Monday to view the New York-Indianapolis battle.

also is in camp. Fitzsimmons ought to work all the harder this season with a very much interested person in the stands rooting for him. I

> Manager Bush ceased to worry over the outfield department when Christenbury and Clarke conferred with Owner Smith today and attached their names to contracts. These two outpost men had been holdouts, but it didn’t take long for them to come to terms after heart to heart talks with the Tribe President. Rehg, Christenburg, Clarke and Allen comprise a formidable set, and with all four men signed and in camp. Bush now can give more ateentlon to the work of bolstering the pitching staff. The peppery Tribe pilot probably will use Burwell, Hill and Thompson in the box against the Giants Monday. The entire camp population is eager to sec how Thompson, the Ifoosier boy rookie, acts under fire. In the spring opener against Cleveland Friday, Hodapp’s batting featured. He drove in four runs with three safe hits and a sacrifice fly. Joe Sewell robbed Hodapp of another hit by muking a spectacular play on a vicious grounder. The Ctncy kid broke up the contest in the tenth inning by lining a safety to center with Voter on third. One of Hodapp’s three hits was a double. Trls Speaker “pulled” a number of his regulars in the sixth inning and the mixture of Cleveland veterans and second stringers failed to check the Hoosiers. It was a slugfest, with each team collecting sixteen hits. Petty. • Fitzsimmons made the best showing the three. Roy, Luther, Clark and Miller twirled for Cleveland.

Local Fans Follow Shortridge Five to Anderson —Frankfort and Vincennes Appear to Have Clear Sailing. By VEDDER GARD The day has arrived. The big day. With the last games tonight in eight regional centers the hopes of sixteen high school basketball teams will have risen to the skies. They will come to Indianapolis on March 20 and 21 for the final battles. One of the sixteen will be State champion.

Forty-eight teams will be eliminated today—their hopes for further honors this season blasted. Everyone can not win. Theirs must be the consolation of a good fight. Pfay started this morning at Anderson, Frankfort, Richmond, Gary. Kokomo, Bloomington, Evansville and Ft. Wayne. Two game* were on the program this morning at each center, two this afternoon and two tonight. Two winners from each tourney reach the finals. Indianapolis has its eyes turned toward Anderson, where the Shortridge club, pride of the north side rooters was to meet Greenfield in its first game at 2 p. m. Fot>w Shortridge A large group of loyal fans followed the Blue and White to the regional on special cars this morning. Many others made the trip by auto. The Shortridge outfit has shown itself a real combination of basket snipers by a fine record throughout ihe season. Win or lose, the team is assured of a successful year—one of the best in many seasons. Ttiere Is an clement of uncertainty In all of the meets. There will be surprises, probably. There always are. Just where, is a difficult thing to nay. Some of the clubs appear to be almost certain winners. Frankfort and Vincennes, two of the State’s best, are overwhelming favorites In their centers. Mart ins Ur-Frank H n Martinsville or Franklin will be put out at Bloomington. It is a tough “breakk that the two have to moot. Both are good enough to represent Hoosierdont at the finals. Others not as good will come to Indianapolis. Washington, the dark horse which eliminated Bedford, has no easy salting. It looks as though It will have a task in the evening contest if Brazil comes through. Kokcmo probably will have to meet its old rival, Logansport. One of them has to fall. Marion Is in the other half of The Kokomo bracket. The teams in the Richmond regional looks very evenly matched. The same may be said for Ft. Wayne. Valparaiso and Rochester are being picked by the dopesters at Gary. South Bend Ready Bv Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind.. March 14.
