mUST before we put the basketballs in mothballs a few thoughts come to mind about the final tournament. After the turmoil and the shouting one may look at things a bit more sanely. One has tifne to think. It seems to be a very general opinion that Central of Evansville played probably the best game of the tourney against Frankfort. The “pocket club” might have defeated any team that Saturday morning. Howard (Kid) Wiggam, boxing instructor at the I. A. C., was a busy man during the last tourneys. He acted as trainer for Shortridge at the regional meet. He then transferred his services to the North Vernon team at the finals. When that club was put out Wiggam went to the Martinsville camp. Physical condition means much in the tourney grind and coaches must pay attention to taking care of the players. A trainer has become almost a necessity. Usually the coach acts in this capacity. It is a very important factor. SHE crowds at the final tourney ran to form. They were always for the club isupposed to be the underdog. The 'fans rooted hard for Evansville, the upset crew from southern Indiana, and whooped it up for Bedford against Martinsville. They had nothing against the supposedly stronger teams. All they wanted to see was the dope kicked around. Allegiance was transferred from one game to another. The spectators rooted against Marion until the final game, then they swung over to the side of the “Giants.” The only reason in the world for this was that some of the “experts” had picked Martinsville, so, naturally, they wanted Marion to win. The fans had very little to cheer about, however, in the way of kicks at the dope bucket. There really was only one big surprise. That was Evansville's defeat of Frankfort. There was plenty of kick in that. EOGANSPORT came mighty close to upsetting Martinsville on Saturday morning and Bedford took the Artesian City club into an overtime period in the afternoon. All that talk about the easy bracket proved so much bunk. Coach Wells of the Logans said after the Martinsville game, “My boys just couldn’t realize they were getting the shots. And say, do you know, I don’t lose a one of them next year.” Somebody better watch out. Between halves one of the Logansport players was heard to remark in amazement, “I believe we can beat those fellows.” The score a t the time was 12 to 11 in favor of Ixigansport. Next season those youngsters are going to have the confidence they lacked this year. And what a drive that Bedford crew displayed. To our mind Murray was one of the outstanding stars. And it must be remembered that he was aided., by Koetter, a great floor man, who fed the hal!. Koetter reminds one of Spradling, the Purdue star. He has the same long stride and follow-in ability under the net. The blond youth battles around the basket. R. Chapman was Marion's best bet. It was largely the tall floor guard's fine work that enabled the “Giants” to keep possession of the ball and play their deliberate offensive style of game. • * *

There has been considerable talk, however, about why the Hoosier A. C. basketball team did not participate in the National A. A. U. meet. The following official document from the IndianaKentucky A.

Gentlemen: At the beginning of the 1925-1928 basketball season, you organized a league, holding out in your publicity the inducement that the winning team would go to the National A. A.

BEST IN COUNTRY WANTED Tennis Officials Desire Strong Men’s Team for European Invasion. By Henry L. FarreU. United Pnss Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 23.—With plans practically completed for the European Invasion by the American women's tennis team, officials of the United States Lawn Tennis Association aro now turning their attention to tho organization of the men's team. Before any names are announced the association wants to know if tho invitations can be accepted, and it Is understood that several players who have been approached have not been able to give a definite answer. In selecting Helen Wills, national champion; Elizabeth Ryan, Mary X. Browne and Mrs. Marion Z. Jessup, officials of tho association felt that they had recruited the strongest team available and they want to have a men's team just as formidable. The Best Combination Bill Tilden, Billy Johnston and Vinnie Richards would naturally form the strongest combination available, and Frank Hunter, because of his ability as a doubles player and his international experience, would make a valuable fourth member. Richards and Hunter, it is understood, have tentatively accepted an invitation to join the team, but Tilden and Johnston have indicated that business may force them to remain in this country this summer. British tennis officials are particularly eager to have Tilden and Johnston in the Wimbledon tournament, as it promises to be one of the greatest ever staged. International Match French officials, who have arranged a special international match, also want America's first and second ranking players as headline attractions, and they will be needed badly if the American team is to make a good showing against Jean Borotra and Rene La Coste. The team matches are to start in Paris on May 28, and it is proba ble that Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, the French queen, and Miss Helen Wills will meet in one of the matches. The French girl, however,- has indicated that she is interested mainly in the defense of her titlp at Wimbledon, and that she may not appear in any other matches before she gobs to England.

Looking Over Washington

Bu XEA Service TAMPA, Fla., March 23.—"1f our pinch-hitters can deliver this year I ivill have no worry about the pinchrunners,” says Manager Harris. In Archdeacon. McNeely and Stewart I have three of the fastest men in baseball, and I really believe Stewart is the speediest of the three.” * K * Johnny Tobin, secured from St. Louis in the trade that brought Joe Bush, is slated to start in right field for Washington. The outfield will be Goslin, Rice and Tobin, with . McNeely. Archdeacon and Joe Harris in reserve. * * * Instead of “Muddy” Ruel doing practically all of Washington s catching. present plans call for Tate and Sever eid to get a fair share of work. * * * For three years the Boston Braves have annually beaten the Washington club. This year it looked as if the Senators would win the last game until the Braves pulled a six-run rally. The Washington players are superstitious enough to regard the double defeat as a good omen, since they have won two pennants on such a bad start. * * * Joe Bush looks for a big year. He says the large outfield space at Washington and the tight defense the club will give him should help him 20 per cent.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Indians Thump Pill Hard in Practice —Summer Weather Takes Out Kinks—Pitcher Henry Signs. By Eddie Ash Times Sport Editor HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 23.—Manager Bush of the Indians smiled broadly Monday as he gazed at the pastimers during batting practice in the Hot Springs training camp. Reason for the grin of satisfaction was the manner in which the boys swatted the horsehide. lie is beginning to have a hunch that his team is going to be powerful on the attack.

Sometimes he wonders, however, if the atmoepliere down here in the foot hills of the Ozarks is a contributing factor to long drives, because even the little fellows on the squad step to the plate occasionally and pole the ball to the fence. But, at any rate, the Indians are starting to look like a strong batting team and the pitchers are smiling with Bush over the manner in which the clubbers aro going about It. The 1925 Tribesmen were rather weak with the stick and the twirlers were forced to pitch airtight ball in order to win. Joe Comello, rookie inflelder, was on the sick list Monday and did not practice. Big Lefty Thompson was reported slightly under the weather Monday night. Catcher Ainsmith soon will take his injured arm out of the tape and start to exercise lightly. Plenty of Sunshine Monday was a grand day for weather and the Indians’ drill was long and snappy. Sunshine with summer warmth to it beamed down. Hill, Weaver and Thompson were permitted to try curving the sphere. Eddie Hunter gave a fancy exhibition of third base play during infield practice and drew compliments from the boss. Outfielder Walter Rehg drifted into camp Monday, but did not don a uniform. He took some exercise, however, by batting a few to the infield. He still is listed as a holdout. Rehg said he would talk terms with Owner Smith today. Pitcher Dutch Henry deserted the holdout crew Monday, and signed a contract. After Pitchers Owner Smith lias cut the strings on his bankroll in an effort to purchase a pitcher, but has received very little encouragement. He lias ta ked business with three major league clubs to no avail. Manager Bush has named twirlers, but efforts to land them have met with practically no success. The Indianapolis Times correspondent with the Indians broadcast again Monday night from radio station KTHS shortly after nine o'clock. Another baseball bulletin probably will be put on the air again tonight. Hoosier fans interested in this service are urged to wire station KTHS, New Arlington Hotel, Hot Springs, Ark.

Golf, $1,389 a Hole Millionaires Play $25,000 Match to Determine Price on Office Building.

Bu Times Special PASADENA. Cal., March 23. Golf at more than $1,359 a hole is rather expensive, even for a millionaire, but Frederick Bartlett, who lost a $25,000 match at the Annandale Country Club here Monday, is rejoicing in the solution of another business problem. The victor, Archie Andrews, who won, 6 and 4, in the unusual contest, will roceive $575,000 for a Chicago office building which Bartlett wanted to buy. Had he been defeated. the sale price would have been $550,000. Botli men are wealthy Chicago realtors, sportsmen and friends. When. Bartlett went to the other recently with an offer to buy the Andrews building, he found the price was $25,000 more than he cared to j pay. Andrews wanted to sell and ( Bartlett wanted to buy, but each i was adamant in his valuation. Finally, with negotiations at a I stalemate, the two millionaires made the agreement to settle the price with eighteen holes of golf. Definite arrangements were kept secret so that there would be no milling crowd to contribute to the nervousness of the players as they made their thousand dollar drives and putts. Consequently' there were no sport writers on hand to record the manner in which a golfer retains his sanity after slicing into the rough at a critical point in a match for a small fortune. Nor were the total scores announced when the party returned front the club, Monday night. But it is rumored that they were rather large.

HARRIS BELIEVES CLUB CAN REPEAT THIS YEAR! Washington Manager Thinks Club Can Win in American League Race This Season. By Billy Evans TAMPA, Fla., March 23.— Can Washington win its third successive American League pennant? Manager Stanley Harm believes it can and will. And I might mention that Mr. Harris is not inclined to boasting.

There are many who believe the Senators have passed the peak of their game and are due to crumple, as did the New York Yankees In 1924 after winning three straight. “I see where some of the boys Insist you will need plenty of glue to keep your team from falling apart this summer,” was my greeting to Manager Harris. “You would think most of my players used crutches, the way some of the experts are picking them to pieces,” laughingly replied the boy boss. Better Than Ever “I read the other day where Walter Johnson had only one good leg: how Peckinpaugh’s arm was bad; doubt as to whether my hand had recovered from last year's Injury, and so on down tho list of casualties. "True, a few of my pitchers are a bit aged, but none the less valuable because of the experience thus gained. "You can say for mo that the club that beats Washington is going to come pretty close to winning the American Leaguo pennant. That isn’t in the nature of a boast but a frank expression of opinion as to our prospects. Joe Hush Added “I feel Utat I have a better ball club than last season. Southpaw Tom Zachary could win only 12 ball games for us. In his place I have Joe Bush, who should win at least a half dozen more. “I had to lose a promising youngster in Ballou but had to so gamble in order to get Bush. Ballou is a good prospect, while Bush Is a good pitcher. Realizing I must have better pitching to keep on top this year, I so gambled. "My club was good enough to win last season. It is practically the same club this year, except that it is better fortified in important spots. Many Replacements “An injury to Catcher. Ruel will not seriously handicap the team, because Tate, who has been with us for several years, is now ready to deliver, and in addition 1 have the veteran Hank Severeid. "Asa substitute for Beckinpaugh at short I have 'Buddy' Myer. He is one of the best youngsters to break into the majors in years. “I have Johnny Tobin for right

Play Boy Ruth Grows Up Bambino Seems to Be Trying—Hot Dogs and Soda Pop Taboo — Babe in Good Shape.

Bu Times Special ST. PETERSBURG, Fla . March 23. —The Peter Pan of baseball baa grown up. Babe Ruth la no more the play boy of the game. A rejuvenated Bube came to Rt. Petersburg a few weeks In advance of the other Yankees, and began a systematic routine of work. Hot dog, soda pop and late hours were taboo. The result has been most gratifying. Babe today is in the best condition he has achieved at tills stage of preliminary training for several years.. * For the rehabilitation, mentally and physically, there are two reasons. The big fellow has intense pride. His illness last year and subsequent disappointing season brought him to tho realization that he must change ids ways. Then. too. Babe loves baseball. He has passed the 30-year milestone and realizes that to maintain a place as a star of the game he must conform to all the riles of right living. Ruth is showing more speed in the field and on the base paths than for several spring training trips. Recently he has started a Ruthian hitting pace. His blow's aro becoming more frequent and longer In the exhibition games.
