ET is said that Babo Ruth is down to weight right now (which doesn’t mean very small) and that he appears as fast as he ever was in younger days. Wednesday he crashed out a double and single in the Cincy exhibition game. But Babe is still the Babe. He goes out to the greyhound races every night. Bambino used to devour the Hot dogs, now he watches them run after the mechanical rabbit. Ruth claims he has been picking the winners. Wonder if Babe has been ever to Sarasota, where Cozy Dolan is “master of hounds?” That ought to be a good place to risk one’s money. • * * Following Instructions (Important Notice Please Put in Heavy Large Type) A Junior baseball tournament will be held for five weeks during August and September. All teams between the ages of H to 17 years are eligible to enter. The winner will be awarded a 15-inch silver cup with all players’ names engraved on it. For information and entrance blank write William Britton, 46 South Be’.le View Place, or call Bel. 1607-W. Acme Juniors, I'niversals, Triangles, Kelly Eagles, J. J- L.s, Laurel A. C.s, Tigers and out-of-town teams take notice. Now, there’s a young man who believes in taking the bull by the horns. If the early bird catches the worm, Mr. Britton, who is some five months ahead of time, should get a whole bucket full. All the elements of success are engraved on that notice as plain as the names will be traced on the cup. Especially notable is the becoming modesty of the promoter - a trait so common among the entrepreneurs of the sport world. It's a two-to-one bet that before night William will know what that big word means. He must be a gOgetter. * * ' ' ,'PTVt question now before the Tj House is, where will Helen ■ j Wills put all those tennis cups won on the Riviera last winter? The American woman champion is preparing to depart Irom France for a vacation in Italy. Helen has some fourteen cups. Following the American custom of canning most everything, she might leave them in Cannes, at least until she gets back from the land of Mussolini. It is really a matter of duty, dontcherknow. * * * From all accounts the withholding of Clarence Kummer’s jockey license had nothing to do with any alleged crooked riding, but was for misdemeanors off the track. The great jockey is likely to receive his license later in the spring, probably in time to ride in the first Jamaica meeting. * * * SHE Illinois High School Athletic Association did not need any rule this year prohibiting its basketball champion from participating in the national interscholastic tourney at Chicago. Freeport, title holder, declined an invitation to compete in the big prep meet. Would Marion like to go through another grind? We just wonder. The boys, full of youthful enthusiasm might say, “Yes.” But what would Coach Thomas and the youths’ parents say? Our vote, If we had any say-so, would be, “NO.” • •

Some thoußu i at Wallie Middlesworth, assistant Butler coach, was blushing Wednesday night when introduced at the Hnosier A. ('. dinner. Tliat wasn’t it at all. That red face was the result of sunburn. Al- ] ways first, that’s Wallie’s motto. * * * ■ rr-rv.w, one would not think ” \I that measles had anything I Ito do with rowing, but the malady most of us had when we were kids lias altered the betting odds in the famous Oxford-Cam-bridge boat race next Saturday. One of the Cambridge oarsmen is out of the big event with the measles and odds which once favored the light blue have dropped to even money. Measues —just think of it —out of the race that a quarter of a million people will watch because of the measles. If it had just been something else like pneumonia or smallpox—but MEASLES.

FIGHT WORLD INTERESTED IN SHOWING OF STRIBLING TONIGHT

Chip Off the Old Block Pat Donoghue, 15-Year-Old Son of Famous Steve, Pilots TOO to 1 Shot Home.

B u United Press LINCOLN, England. March 25. Fifteen-year-old Pat Donoghue is a hero to every English schoolboy. The lad, whose father is the famous Steve Donoghue, foremost rider in England, rode in his first big race Wednesday and booted home a 100-to-1 shot a winner in the Lincolnshire handicap. King of Clubs, on which young Donoghue had the leg up. was an ordinary selling plater purchased by his present owner a year ago for $1,650. Yet, the boy who only recently was granted a license Us a professional jockey, got his mount home ahead of some of the best horses in training in England. Father Last Steve Donoghue, the father, rode Argeia. and tied for last place in a held of twenty-seven. As young Pat slipped from the sad- I die after saluting the judges at the j finish of the handicap, lie was crying and trying to smile at the same time. Between excited gasps he managed ■ to stammer: “I was lucky to get a quick start, but I knew lie was fast." If young Donoghue had confidence j in his mount none of the experts j did, anefr the colt was absolutely ig- ; nored in the betting. Favorite Second The Aga Khan's Zionist, ■which ! finished a head behind King of Clubs, was well backed at 9 to 2, and "coupled” with most of the grand national entries. Y'oung Donoghue. who seems to be a chip off the old block when it comes to riding, got his mount away fast from the barrier, and led the first half mile. The Lincolnshire handicap is run over a straight mile, and is worth $5,000 and extras to the owner of the winner. At the half another horse got its nose out in front, but Pat went to the whip like an old-timer in the stretch and shot King of Clubs home a winner by a head.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TRIBE GAME TODAY OFF; HOLKE GETS INTO CAMP Indians Wield Wicked Willows in Wednesday Practice Niles Shows Stuff on nd. By Eddie Ash Times Sports Editor IIUT SPRINGS, Ark., March 25.—Just before the Indians bus was to start for Little Rock late this morning, Joe ('antilion phoned that an early morning rain had made Kavanaugh field unlit for baseball this afternoon. The Tribe-Traveler game, therefore. was cancelled.

Rain also fell irf Hot Springs this morning and there was some doubt about the Indians getting their usual practice today. Efforts are being made to schedule some games with Little Rock next week. Walter Holke, first baseman, reached Hot Springs on a late morning train. Long, sharp drives and plenty of them featured the Wednesday drill, and the pitchers who cut loose said: "This club is certain to get somewhere in tiie 1926 ling race if the flinging department holds up its end.” An Indianapolis club that crashes the hall hard will l>e something new for Washington Park fans to gaze at. Niles (iocs Good In addition to life heavy swatting Wednesday, there was another b:g bright feature, it was the superb form displayed by Pitcher Ned Niles, who was bothered last year by a weak arm caused by an operation. Tlie slender liurler has regained much of his old strength in his throwing hand and !• threw botli curves and fast ones Wednesday without losing sight of the plate. Catcher Ainsmith, who was injured more than two weeks ago. took his lame arm out of tape Wednesday, and it was almost numb. When the circulation gets right Eddie will start exercising, which will be about Monday. He has been advised not to raise the arm above the shoulder until the first of the j week. I >cii lit fill Starter According to Ainsmith he has ceased to worry about the injury, as he feels confident he'll he ready to romp with the other Indians when the season opens. However, he still is rated somewhat of a doubtful starter, because it happens frequently that once a shoulder is dislocated there is danger of it becoming tricky and likely to pop out at any time. No late word has been received from Pitchers Schemanske and Steele, the balkiest of the Tribe holdouts this' spring. The former, who was given a liberal increase over last year’s salary, will he suspended if he does not i-eport, according to Manager Bush today. Steele, the former contract jumper, probably will face the same penalty. He is hard to get along with and probably would not bring much on the market. Arms Still Bother Tribe infielders were throwing better Wednesday after their weak exhibition of Tuesday, hut the improvement wasn’t enough to satisfy Bush. The lame-arm situation will become a serious matter if the kinks fail to disappear within the next few days. Trainer Pierce says lie'll have the ; boys fixed up in due time. The doings of the Iloosiers will be broadcast from KTHS tonight by The Times correspondent with the Indians, probably shortly after 9 o’clock. KTHS is the Hot Springs radio station.

Georgia Youth Seen as Heavyweight Possibility; Favorite Over Slattery. Bit Times Sor'dnl NEW YORK. March 25.—Interest in tonight's light-heavyweight bout between Y'oung Stribling and Jimmy Slattery centers in the performance of the Georgia youth. Stribling, who outweighs the Buffalo boy by ten pounds, is recognized as a possible challenger for the world's heavyweight championship within a few years at the most. Slattery, because of his recent unsatisfactory’ showings, is regarded as one of t hose boxers who is “not going anywhere.” The bout is drawing better than was to he expected, Madison Square Garden expecting to be jammed tonight. Stribling will he the favorite. It he wins, as most experts think he should, he will he matched with Gene Tunney, after which it will he time to think of the heavyweight title. If “Slats” should have one of his good nights anil win tlie decision from the southerner, it will he a serious setback for the Stribling family. The Georgia Lov was scheduled to meet Tunney a few weeks ago in Miami, but the fight was called off at the last minute liecause of failure to meet a guarantee by tlie promoters. Rickard has announced his readiness to stage tlie bout here in the event that Stribling triumphs over Slattery. Slattery won a six-round decision from the Georgian on Feb. 25, 1924, when both toys were under the age limit, and the return match has been hanging fire, ever since.

TURMOIL RAISED BY NEW RULE ON FORWARD PASS Much Opposition Develops to Regulation Restricting Overhead Grid Game—Committee Stands Pat.

By Henry L. Farrell • Press Staff (01 rtsvorihut NEW YORK. March 25. cism directed at the new rule restricting the use of the forward pass will not result in a reconsideration of the rule for at least a year, according to E. lx. Uule, chairman of the rules committee. The committee feels that it was a constructive ruling adopted with tlie intention of improving the game, and that any such changes should he given the benefit of a test. It lias happened several times that changes in the rules have been revoked after they have been tested 1 for a season, as was the ense in the kickoff rule last year, and if the rule permitting the quarter back only one ineompleted pass without a penalty slows up the game, it may lie scratched off the books next winter. May Change Minds Tlie committee feels also, it is said, that as many coaches will he found indorsing the rule as are being quoted against it. The criticism that it was a reactionary measure or aimed at forward passing systems like Notre Dame, Dartmouth, Tulane or Washington was declared to tie beside the point. The suggestion made by Bob Zuppke that tlie progressive sections of the country should draft their
