SlllTOMfllll^ TIRRuSf’ the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

H. S. ATHLETICS mT IS witlj varying emotions and ctjfnflicting thoughts that views the latest tifend in State high school athletics —that of organizing sport conferences or leagues within the Indiana High School Athletic Association. The supposition arises that if enough of these conferences are formed they will seriously un;,:leriiiine the power of the I. H. HgS~A. If such a thing haps JHSW. it likely will be the smaller ||g|Ciibols that will sutler most. The L H. S. A. A. under the en •rgetic and capable leadership of Hm&'&i. Trester, permanent secretary; haa been largely responsible in putting prep athletics in this State on a high plane, p 7 MUST BE A HEAD There must be some such governing body. Each of the various conferences, if formed, will 'be capable of taking care of the different problems—at least that’s the supposition. In actual practice it will be more difficult than it looks. But even if the big schools are able to get along in good shape under various conferences, the little fellows would be left to run themselves in haphazard fashion if the time ever came that the I. H. S. A. A. should break up. If such a thing should ever happen there would not be a great deal of sympathy for the smaller institutions. They have brought the present -situation upon themselves by wielding the power of the majority to push through legislation favorable to the small schools and detrimental to the large. The big fellows are retaliating, that’s all. For the good of all concerned, and the public must be considered —it supports the schools —it is hoped that the Indiana High School Athletic Association goes on functioning as in the past. BONE OF CONTENTION It seems right now that the chief bone of contention among schools which organized the North Central conference Is the plan of final basketball tourneys used for the past several years. There is much to be said on each side of the question. Many of the coaches of the best teams are against the tourney idea. They believe a team’s record through the year should count more than the fireworks at the finish. Some say that they have the choice of two corn'ses —either to win the regularly scheduled games and forget the final meets, or to “point” tbeir clubs to the finals, regardless of the outcome of some of the contests played through the year. But on the other hand, there are clubs who keep up their morale through a disastrous season by the hopes of wiping defeats off the slate by a fine showing In sectional, regional and final meets. GRAND FINALE For many teams the gTand finale of the season is looked forward to all year. It is their big chance. This Is true of the smaller teams, especially. Without the “survival of the fittest” struggles only the big schools will receive recognition. Many of the best college players have come from smaller institutions. It would be a shame to let sterling talent go unrecognized as is likely to be the case without the big show at the end of the year. Basketball would be likely to deteriorate. There Is a thrill attached to the fight of a small school against odds. The public at the final meet always has been for the “dark horses.” A meet with only tlie well-known teams in competition would lose some of l its kick for the spectators. The k democracy of the whole affair ■ always has had a strong appeal. B We have not mentioned the phyHlcai strain players must undergo the final test. It is doubtless This phase of the question sJSbably could be worked out by different arrangement of schedules—another meet slicked in—or an additional day of pAay. I TOO MANY TEAMS WheV! y OU get right down to brass lacks, there are just too many basketball teams in Indiana. The anl iaa i title play is getting unwleldjl. There cannot help but be dissatisfaction when more than 700 teaiAs enter a fight for supremacy. \ B u t why shouldn’t Podunk CoV-ners have an equal chance wiVh its Mg neighbor at winning t’Ae championship? It will tfVke the test of time to find out liust how the conferences will "Aork out. The league idea of schediiling games will be all right for\ the winners. But how about thv clubs at the tail end of the profession? Semi-pro baseball leagues have proved failuresfor just such a reason. \ All this Is not rneant to discourage the formiipg of conferences within the 1. H. S. A. A. They are good thing-g even if they do nothing else but tViake the little schools think hard beyr ore bringing up any radical measu res . BE CAREFUjtj But it does seem as though one governing body over all. jg needed i.i high school athletic 1 activities are to keep on the upwt trend. Because some of the littl 3 fellows have gone to extremes th*re is no reason for the big ones to <} o the same thing. Moderation, kind sirs, is, the word. All of this will be i thrashed out gradually. It is k hoped that this article may help Borne to look at things cle;\ r [y Rnd without prejudice. Tliertu s |R need of haste.

CLASSY ROOKIES IN MAJORS MAY CHANGE OUTCOME OF RACESI

STEPHENSON DISPLAYING KEEN CLASS AT CAMP Riggs Appears to Be in for a Big Season —Bush Expects ‘Bear Cat’ to Bust Ball. By Eddie Ash Times Snorts Writer HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 31.—Riggs Stephenson, beefy Southern youth, the “Bear Cat” of the Tribe squad training in Hot Springs, is an amazing man. He never wears out. He’s a horse for work, and usually adds extra stunts to the general routine required of the Indians daily. lie does so many things, sometimes one wonders if “Steve” is training for one line of sport or four.

Riggs takes to athletics naturally. He loves to play. He takes his regular turn at bat, then dashes out into the pasture; sometimes in the outfield, at other times at second base. Frequently he challenges a team mate- to a fifty-yard dash, or a century'sprint, or a distance match run around the park. He makes diving slides out on the grass like 'a football player trying for a loose ball. At other times he will be seen engaged in a wrestling bout. Built to Last This big fellow is built to last. And how he “combs” that ball with his heavy bat. He’s vaccinated with the “old determination.” Stephenson has been displaying keen class here at Hot Springs and Manager Bush has named him as his choice to lead American .Association sluggers this year. The big boy is a valuable asset to the Indians, with his hustle, tremendous batting punch, and ability to play in the outfield or at second base. Stephenson's pride was stung last year when he lost out at Cleveland and was sent to the American Association. He felt as though he still possessed big league qualities, and his heart was hurt over the demotion. Cleveland attached a string to him and transferred him to Kansas City, and later Indianapolis obtained him in the Ilodapp deal with Tris Speaker’s team. College Spirit But Riggs has the old college spirit back this spring and he is aiming to graduate once more to major league ball. He likes Manager Bush and is enthusastic about Indianapolis and its pennant chances. Well, there has been another upset. It occurred in the foothills of the Ozarks. Tlie month of March came in like a lion and went out like a lion. The lainb visited on a different shift in the noddle of the month, and then strayed away and got lost In the wild wood. More rain and more stormy breeze in and around Hot Springs Tuesday and the Indians were knocked out of another ball game with Little Rock. The Tribesmen didn’t attempt to make the trip to the Arkansas capitol. It was raining here and raining there. The weather man lost control aga.n and it was the third time he wild-pitched the Indians out of a chance to mix in a regular game with Cantillon’s Travelers. Asa result the Hoosler exhibition slate Is unmarred. They won the only game played. The teams will make another effort to tangle Friday, either In Hot Springs or at Little Rock. A IJIy Pond The Tribe training park here resembled a lily pond Tuesday, but Manager Bush forced the- boys to get out and hustle, anyway. It was impossible to hold infield, outfield or batting practice. Some of the pitchers warmed up while other players engaged In bunting game. Everybody tossed the ball around and finished the brief workout by running twice around the field. Catcher Ainsmith was in uniform for the first time after a long spell on the hospital list. He engaged in only light exercise and avoided throwing. Eddie will resume regular practice with the squad, but will not extend himself until warm weather returns. Lloyd Christenbury, outfielder, wTio was returned to the Indians by Buffalo, has been sold to Decatur of the Three-I League.

Red Hot From Hot Springs By Eddie Ash HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 31— It's a little bit of heaven for the rookie ball player who gets an opportunity to make a spring training trip with a high class league outfit. Play, sleep and eat, and a fresh bath every day—expenses paid. Hook slides to the dining room three times daily, lots of service from Southern waiters, order what you want. Sleep long hours, no whistle, no alarm clock- Only about three and one-half hours practice, which Is little more than mere play for the young man accustomed to working in a factory six days a week. Transportation paid to camp and return. A little bit of heaven is right, regardless of how long the rookie stays. A vacation, an outing, with expenses guaranteed. Take sweet nectar—it’s hard to take! There are many, many young men throughout the land who have it in them to become league ball players, but are overlooked. No friends with influence to recommend them. Old Lady Luck has much to do with getting the average young man an opportunity to start a baseball career. She is fickle with her smiles. Some rookies “highly recommended,’’ own no more league baseball talent than a goat. The cross-word puzzle boys, we still have with us. Ned Niles and two other Indians seek a lobby corner twice daily and till out the Little squares. Ned says he’s troubled with insomnia unless he “works” one or two before getting between the sheets.

It gives an idea what great leg speed the Tribo pilot possessed -when he was the famous shortstop of the Detroit Tigers. Beating the Ty at anything in those days was worth a medal. Trainer Pierce was asked If lie cared to broadcast from IvTHS, the Hot Springs radio station. “No,” he replied, "I might shock the air currents, axid furthermore the stiff breezes that blow off the Ozarks at night probably would blow what I said right back hi my face.” Pierce asked if KTHS couldn’t apply for a “permanent wave” length to accommodate ball player sheiks who desire to talk to the world.

Many Promising Players Up From Minors on Big League Rosters. By Henry L. JFarrell, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 31. —More good young ball players have come up from tho minors than the major leagues have seen for years, is the opinion of visitors to the spring training camps. Perhaps there are no Cobbs, Mathewsons, Wagners or Ruths in the new crop, but there are at least a few youngsters good enough to get their manager thinking about pennants. Three weeks ago the New York Yankees were the laughing stock of the American League, a club that looked like a sure rival of the Boston Red Sox for the cellar. Now the Yankees are being considered as a pennant possibility because Tony Lazerri and Mark Koenig, rookie infielders, came through. The Yankees also have several great young pitchers, but they don’t need pitching so much. Pittsburgh Recruits Pittsburgh, fortunate in discovering Glenn Wiight and Kikl Cuyler In recent yea. 8, was in good shape when the season closed last year, but there are two youngsters, Waner and Rhyne on the pay roll who are expected to deliver if anything should happen. Waner may get a chance to play centerfleld if Max Carey carries around any bad effects of a serious spell of Illness during the late winter. The pennant hopes of the New York Giants depend no little upon A1 Tyson, new centerflelder, and Fred Fitzsimmons, a bulky young pitcher who had some work last season. John MoGraw feels that Tyson Is a star and will more than plug up a weakness of several seasons. Here’s Christy The Cincinnati Reds have two fine prospects in Emmer, a shortstop from the Pacific Coast League, and Christensen, an outfielder from the American Association. The Washington Senators may have to depend upon Buddy Myer If Peck's legs go bad on him again. Myer Is not a rookie In a strict sense as he had some experience last year, but he will be a young man in a very serious job. The Philadelphia Athletics were so well stocked with juvenile talent the club didn’t have to do much harvesting In the minors. One of the newcomers on -the roster is Joe Pate, a veteran rookie pitcher who may be carried as a regular. The St. Louis Browns uncovered a find in Oscar Mellilo, an inflelder, and Ernie Nevers, the California football star, may turn into a prize. The Boston Braves have a promising young pitcher in Henry Wertz. There are a number of others on various clubs that look exceptionally promising. YEA, DIXIE Southern Teams Win in Prep Net Meet.

ANOTHER VOLLEY AT A A, U. Major Griffith of Big Ten Fires Broadside at President Hulbert. Bu United Press CHICAGO. March 31.—MaJ. John L. Griffith, athletio commissioner of the Big Ten, arriving back her© from Texas today took pointed exceptlona to th© reply of Murray Hulbert, president of the A. A. U., regarding the request of Western Conference athletic directors that the A. A. U. not tamper with conference athletes while they are still students. Griffith was quick to point out that the college athletes are the backbone of the athletio world. “Why, all but twenty-one of the 266 points we scored in the last Olympic games were made by college men,” he said. Then he declared that the colleges and universities are the ones who are developing these men. “The Western Conference officials did not ask Mr. Hulbert to request athletic clubt: not to tamper with colleges outside the Western Conference as his letter would indicate, but rather did request his cooperation to the extent that he should ask the A. A. U., to keep hands off conference men until they are graduated,” Griffith said. “Mr. Hulbert suggested in his letter that such a request indicates that the directors’ admit their inability to control the athletic students under their Jurisdiction. "Now Bill Edwards, president of the professional league, might have taken tho stun© view. But Bill, a former college man, realizes that the colleges provide plenty of competition for their men during undergraduate days and his league has a rule which forbids tampering with them until they have been graduated.” LAST BASKET GAME Bu Times Special NOBLESVILLE, Ind., March 81.The last basketball game of the season was played in Hamilton County Tuesday night when the Jackson Township independent quintet de©fated the Ft.
