DOES JUDGE LANDIS CRAVE THE LIMELIGHT?—TAKE A GLIMPSE!
FRANKLIN DEFEATS PURPLE Aces Handed First Setback —Baptists Display Wonderful Form. Bn Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., Jan. I. Franklin College was an unbeatable combination here Friday night. The Baptists were marvelous and dropped them in from all parts of the floor to hand the Evansville College its first defeat of the year, 45-21. Evansville was never able to get going and trailed almost the entire game. Some fifteen hundred fans witnessed the contest. It. just was not the Purple Aces’ night, and as the game progressed Franklin pulled farther away. The lengthy Lyons at center played a remarkable game, using his height to good advantage for un-der-the-net counters. The two midgets, McQuiston and Wooden, were flashes. Scott went out on personals just before the first half ended, but it failed to slow up the visitors;. The Baptists were leading at the half, 19-13. Ralph Rea was the only Evansville man to show to advantage alongside the great playing of the Baptists. The two teams will play here again tonight. Summary: Franklin (45). Evansville (21).

CITY BOWLING GOSSIP tty Lefty Lee
The premier event of the season for local bowlers will get under way today at the Century Alleys. It Is the singles, five games across-" ten alleys, sweepstakes. Much interest has been shown in this event and starters from all over the State will put In an appearance. The Lincoln Life team from Ft. Wayne will enter as a whole. This Is a great opportunity for a match game for one of the fast local clubs. Webb Wallace, who has nursed this event from an infant, “reports 130 entrants with Terre Haute still to bo heard from, This growth has been a steady, healthyone and no doubt this tourney will be an established event In the years to come. Everything Is as even us can be for each entrant and hero's wishing all of you the best of breaks. The various leaders In different departments of play as the year elosed finds A1 Striebeclt leading in the singles with a total of 735. A1 just nosed under the wire in his last chance of the year to take the “captain's” job on the “700” team, which has seven members to date.
Jerry O’Grady topped this mark on three different occasions, so when we have enough members for two teams he must be considered as its "captain.” In practice Hank Shriver reached the coveted “300." In the city tourney Welsman reached 299, but irt league play we must hand the high game palm to that popular veteran of many a campaign, "Ruch” McAlllen. "Nan” Schott was a close second when he reached 286 In one of his efforts. In team play the Silver Flash, with a wonderful total of 3,231, are far in front in this event. However, the single high game was taken from ! this club by the Werbe-Meissen boys, who grabbed the honor from the Flash team, 1,144 to 1,141. As “Harsh” says, the conditions under which the boys are bowling are second to none in the country. The various alley owners and managers are bending every effort to give the pin-smashers every improvement known to be a succcess in the bowling game. Schedule for the sweepstakes classic: TODAY 1 P.

Risberg Promises to Talk
Bii ( nilrd Press CHICAGO, Jan. 1. —An air of watchful waiting was maintained by Kenesaw Mountain Landis, high commissioner of baseball, today, pending the arrival from Rochester, Minn., of Swede Rlsberg, former White Sox ball player, who has promised to shake up the entire national game with a "scandal story.” Rlsberg, who was a noted performer until the upheaval in 1920 which sent seven of the White Sox into oblivion as ball players, has charged that “I can tell enough to keep the commissioner busy for weeks accepting resignations of baseball stars.” Since the 1920 scandal Risberg has been working on a dairy farm in Minnesota, and, according to his statement, he came to the fore at the present time in defense of Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker, two of baseballl’s idols, who were implicated in “crooked” charges made by Dutch Leonard. Landis .after receiving the communication which contained the charges, wired Risberg to come to Chicago at baseball’s expense, and he is expected to be here soon. “There’s no sense in this CobbSpeaker thing,” Risberg said. “I ciNjd tell Judge Landis a lot worse things -silled by baseball pllayers than that paltry S4OO betting deal for which they are kicked out.”

Off the Backßoard By NORMAN ISAACS
Franklin College, on the last night of 1926, performed in a manner that brought baek pleasant memories of Griz "Wagner's famous “Wonder Five.” The Baptists were in wonderful form Friday night and proved to the State that Evansville College is not unbeatable on its home tloor. Franklin's players just let Hv from all angles and the ball seemingly “bad eyes for that basket." The game was decidedly Franklin's. The more they played, the farther the Baptists pulled away.
Bedford’s decisive victory over Franklin High School Thursday was quite noticeable in Friday’s scores. The Stone City quintet has a speedy squad that is going to prove one of the contenders for the State prep title. Coach Ivey and his squad appeared in Indianapolis a few weeks ago to play Manual. A ,number of the "point boys.” the "guys” who

Miller, flashy forward, caupht the ball about the center >f the floor, looked tround and arched .t through the net a second before the gun went off.
You should have heard the sigh of relief that went up from the “point boys" in their section! Ivey has a real team, a bunch of crack-shooting basketball playing lads. It Is our honest belief that those Stone City boys sooner would play a game of basketball than eat. They had a merry time with Anderson last night. Yes, it was a trifle one-sided, 51-29.
This year will be the greatest in the history of Indiana basketball. That statement comes from one Arthur L. Tre.ster, permanent secretary of the Indiana State High School Athletic Association. "We are looking forward on a banner year,” said Trester. “We have the membership of practically the entire State, only one school being on the ineligible Bat. Indiana basketball is becoming more diversified. Good teams are scattered throughout the State.

Indianapolis teams for some reason or other have been labeled "Not so good” for a number of years. Lately, however, it seems that State quintets are beginning to have quite a bit of respect for our local fives. This year Shortridge and Tech really have some creditable teams. It wouldn’t surprise us a bit if the latter team popped up In the State final tournament. There—the cat’s out of the bag. Yes, we believe that Tech will win tonight. We are liable to be Initiated into the "Pickin’ ’em and Missin’ ’em" branch of the sports writers fraternity. If you are going to see the game tonight keep your eyes on a number of players.

SILENCE SHROUDS SCANDAL New Year’s Brings Jlo Break in Secrecy Surrounding Plans. By Foster Eaton ZJnitei Press Staff Correspondent _ DETROIT, Jan. I—New Year s brought no break in the secrecy surrounding plans of Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker to pool legal assets in their joint effort to combat charges of baseball scandal. Following a four-hour conference with their attorneys here yesterday, the accused ex-managers announced there would be "complete cooperation and unity of action,” and then parted to spend the holiday in seclusion, Cobb here, Speaker ut Cleveland. An announcement of definite legal action is expected some time next week, according to the brief joint statement issued by James O. Murfin and William H. Boyd, attorneys, respectively, for Cobb-and Speaker. Meanwhile, fans here were left to seculate on the ossibility that Ty and Tris were contemplating slander suits to force their accusers into court to prove charges they have categorically denied. Counsel the two players said, "We are not prepared to announce the form such action will take until some time next week. Abiding by the orders of his attorney, Cobb declined to comment on the proposal of Representative Kelley of Pennsylvania that a Federal commission be created to control the so-called national past-time. He also would say nothing concerning the promised expose of further “Scandal” by Charles "Swede” Risberg, former member of the Chicago White Sox who was banished from organized baseball in 1920. Cobh did, however, issue a brief New Y ear’s greeting to Detroit fans and expressed his appreciation “for the expressions of confidence which have been made to me and have been brought to my attention since I arrived.” Dr. Phillip Callahan, member of the Detroit city council, announced that every member of the council had informally approved of a resolution expressing ‘utmost confidence in the integrity and honesty of both Cobb and Speaker.” Callahan said the resolution will be submitted to the council Tuesday. Various semi-civic organizations are understood to be preparing some form of public testimonial to the former Tiger star, but nothing definite had been announced yet.
