SIME is drawing near for the State final basketball tourney. In fact it is so near that some of the high school clubs wall be blowing into town on Thursday •afternoon, especially those which play the first garnet, Friday morning. half of the teams will stop at the Lincoln. On this list are La Porte, Logansport, Summittville, Syracuse, North Central of Evansville, Franklin ■ and Nappanee. Four clubs are exclusive. Hillsboro Is the only one at the Washington. Martinsville will stay at the Elk's Club, Bedford will put up at the Columbia Club, and Newcastle will stop at the I. A. C. The remaining teams which includes Aurora, Frankfort, Central of Ft. Wayne, and Marion, will bo found at the Spink-Arms. * * * Cif E are now going to tell you jW about the team that will win the State high school basketball championhsip. There will be nothing haphazard about its play. The players will know what they are supposed to do. Mechanically it will be a smoothworking combination. Individually the players will kiinow how to pivot and pass and pshoot. The youths will have plenty of endurance —a very necessary factor in tourney play. But besides these things the CHAMPION will have two qualities—personal characteristics, if you please—something more or less inherent in the players that may be brought out by good coaching, but impossible to be given the youths except by a kind Providence. The WINNER will be composed for the most part of players who are perfectly in tune, whose brains telegraph to muscles In perfect, instant coordination. The slugs gish performers will be eliminated. In this connection it will be seen that the CHAMPIONS will be clever. They will be smart players and be able to use their smartness. They will not be clumsy or heavy-footed. They will be agile, naturally so. And then there is something else the VICTORS will possess. It Is more intangible—harder to explain. They will have fighting hearts. This is a personal factor. This quality may not be possessed by the entire squad, but there must be somebody to lead the others. A fighting coach instills this characteristic to a certain extent, but he can not do it all. It must be in the player himself. We do nok guarantee the name of the winning team, but we do guarantee that the above qualifications will be found in the 1926 ■CHAMPIONS. * ilt *

FATHER TIME just j tan not be defeated. Mike I ! McTigue could not escape the relentless fellow anymore tlian he could get away from the hammering blows of Jack Delaney Monday night in New York. Mike heard himself counted out for the first time in a long career. Mike says he is thirtyfour, but he is older than that. Boxers and ball players, like women, never give themselves the worst of it on the age question. The actual count of ten had not sounded as McTigue staggered to his feet but Referee Haley stepped in and stopped the fight. The Irishman was reeling, according to accounts from the ringside, and was badly beaten. • * • more will Umpire Jim Murray stick out his bulldog jaw and glare at the fans at Washington Park. No more will Jim call, out his familiar “Hurry ’em up” to the players. No more will Umpire Finneran and Manager Bush of the Indians clash in wordy battles. The two veterans w T ill not umpire this year in the A. A. Freeman and Holmes also are gone. On the list of umpires for this . season, announced by President Allickey of the American Associ"ation, the four above arbiters are missing. Murray is the oldest of the vets, while Finneran and Freeman had come to be a part of the A. A. through their long service. Local fans are not sorry to see Finneran go. He was the direct cause of Manager Bush being suspended last year and put on probation. Tire fans never forgave .the big umpire, naturally taking Ownie’s side in the many run-ins between the two. Murray and Freeman simply had been too long in the league. They were inclined to become careless. Ducky Holmes got along well last season. It was his first year in the A. A. He umpired in the American League the season before. No official reasons were given for any of the changes. The four umpires who remain from last season are Ollie Chill, Ted McGraw, F. R. Connolly and Doll Derr. The four new ones are George Johnson and Jack Powell, formerly of the Western League; Larry Goetz of the Piedmont League, and W. C. Kuhn, a Milwaukee semi-pro arbiter. Powell also was in the National League at one time.

WITH IRON HAND OF M’GRAW AT HELM, GIANTS FALL IN LINE

INDIANS IN HARD WORKOUT Make Most of Balmy Weather —Burwell, Wyatt, Sicking Report Tuesday. By Eddie Ash Times Sports Editor HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 17. —Favored by perfect spring weather Tuesday, the athletes commanded by Ownie Bush continued their vigorous training pace and got the full benefit of bracing mountain air and warm sunshine. It was a superb day in the Indians’ camp and the only reason the boys sawed off after two and one-half hours of drill was because they could do no more. In other words the Tribe pastimers extended themselves ito a point of exhaustion. From the practice field the players hustled back to the Eastman Hotel and dipped into the thermal water piped down from Hot Springs mountain. The Tribe manager expressed amazement at the clip his hirelings are maintaining and there are no views of alarm felt over the weekend games to be played Avith the Little Rock Travelers. Tavo Exhibitions The lloosiers will battle the Travelers at Little Rock,' Saturday, and at Hot Springs, Sunday. Hill and Thompson -will be two of the pitchers used against Little Rock, tvlth Florence and Stedman, a Chicago semi-pro, dividing the catching. Bush is uncertain about ids other pitching selections for the two gomes. Bill Burwell, leading ttvirler of the American Association last season. reached camp Tuesday and participated in the day's workout. Eddie Sicking, second sacker, and .Toe Wyatt, outfielder, tvere others Avho came in Tuesday in time for work. There is no news to report concerning the balking brigade consisting of Henry, Schemanske, and Steele, pitchers; Holke, first baseman, and Rehg, outfielder. Another catcher of American Association caliber nearly was snared Tuesday, hut a hitch occurred in the deal. Owner 4mith did his part by agreeing to the price asked and ho is unable to understand what queered the thing.

More Work The St. Patrick’s day schedule for the Indians AA'as to see another stiff workout if bilmV Aveather continued to prevail. Not idany of the boys are complaining of hurts and Trainer Pierce is pleased with the physical condition of the squad. The Cincinnati Reds adA’ised Owner Smith today that the demand made by Walter Holke for part of the price Indianapolis paid for him would not be met. President Herrman, stated, hoAvever, that another first baseman would be sent if Holke fails to report. The Indians won’t act on this new angle until the Reds name the other players they have in mind. In the meantime Jo 6 Klugman is doing very well in the vicinity of the first sack.

Red Sox Reviews

NEW ORLEANS, La., March 17. —Howard Ehmke, ace of the Red Sox pitching staff, is fifteen pounds heavier than at any time during his major league career. Prone to grow stale under too much work, the added weight should prove a decided advantage to Ehmke. * * * Ramon Herrera is not a movie actor, as the first name might imply, but a Cuban second-sacker. He was with Springfield in the Eastern League last year and is fighting it out with Emmett McCann as to who will play the keystone position. • * * Looks as if it would be hard to keep Thomas Jenkins from holding down one of the three outfield berths for the Red Sox this summer. He's a big rangy athlete of the Bob Meusel type and seems to be able to do everything well. Bats left-handed. • * • Lee Fohl is hoping that Southpaw Wiltse comes through for him, the Sox being shy on left-handed pitching. Wiltse was with Mobile last year, winning 14 and losing 11. * * * Simon Rosenthal, one of the few Jewish players in the majors, is the Beau Brummel of the Red Sox. He gives the natives four changes of apparel daily, not including the baseball uniform. Incidentally, he is quite a ball player. He can hit and has a good chance to win the right field berth.

CHESTERFIELDS ARE MADE BY T LIdOETT fit MYERS TOBACCO COMPANY

New York Manager Is Boss of His Outfit—Tyson, Former Louisville Star, to Play Center Field. By Henry L. Farrell United Ptcss Staff Corrcsvondent SARASOTA, Fla., March 17.—One of the biggest reasons why the New York Giants as a rule have a good ball club and will have an unusually good team this year, is John J. McGraw.

The veteran manager of the New York National League club always has a few good boll players around him and the good and the not so gooil do as he tells them, and he knows Avhat to tell them. A few days ago in the training camp the squad was being divided into tAvo teams for a practice session and McGraw turned to Roger Bresnahan, his first lieutenant, and told him tc tell big Scott, the Carolina farmer, to pitch. About Mr. Scott Scott was wanning up with a catcher and when Bresnahan told him he was to work four Innings Scott asked "on which side?" "For both sides," Bresnahan answered. " ’Taln’t right. They won’t give me no chance to bat," he drawled. "Right or Avrong, It goes. Get In there?” the coach replied. And Scott got In. It was the same iron hand that forced Scott to sign a contract Avhen he was holding out for more money, and it was the same hard rule that kept Frankie Frisch, Freddie Lindstrom and other star players from dictating the terms of their contract. Os all the star players who wanted more money’, only’ Bill Terry, the substitute first baseman, Is holding his ground. "Let him stay where he Is. We don’t need him," McGraw said. Needs Catcher From the looks of the Giants squad, McGraw does not need uny more players than he now has on hand, with the possible exception of a hustling young catcher, and he may have found him in Melvin Ott or Mac Mullen. McGraw, however, wants to make an infielder out of Ott. The team with which McGraw feels confident he will heat out the Pittsburgh Pirates will line up as it started last season and as It would have played through if it had not been wrecked by injuries. There may be only one change, in center field, where A1 Tyson, a highly tout-

ed rookie, may replace Billy Southworth. George Kelly, Frankie Frisch, Travis Jackson and Freddie Lindstrom have been decided upon as the infield. Irish Meusel, Tyson and Pep Young will be the regular outfield, with Southworth In reserve. Fine Pitching McGraw bubbles over when he talks about hls pitching steff. In Kent Greenfield, Fred Fitzsimmons, Hugh McQuillan, Jock Scott, Art Nehf, Virgil Barnes tnd Tim McNamara, he claims to have the best pitching *taff In years. If thero Is any weakness on the club, It is behind the plate, where the team avIII have to depend upon two veterans, Frank Snyder and Grover Hartley. There have been reports that McGraw would get Walter Henline, tho holdout catcher of the Phillies, but nothing has come of them. The military discipline that prevails around the Giant camp is most impressive and It conveys the Idea that McGraAV has good ball players and that they havo to play ball or MAT BOUTS THURSDAY Three Matches on Program fo* Tomlinson Hall Show.
