CITY BOWLING GOSSIP ii Leitj Lee —- 1
The Silver Flash team of the Capitol No. 1 League made a big gain In the close and exciting race of this loop by winning all three of their games from the 3-F Coffee team Wednesday night, while the Werbe-Meissen boys were downing the EJm-Roes two out of three: The Marott team continued its swift pace and won its series from the H. E. Schmitt outfit and dropped these boys down to fourth place. Robbins Body, putting on a finish of 1,013, managed to take the las’ game from the Coca-Cola outfit. The “Cokes” annexed the first two. Tn the single game Boh Hukle again led with his 265, secured in hts second try, and carried home the 3-F coffee. Thirty-nine games passed the 200 mark. Sliver Flash’s two games above the 1,000 mark Wednesday night was found to be just an average for this club, as the Flash boys have scored better than 1,000 In eighteen of their last twenty-seven games. When looking for a team to take the place of the “wrecking crew” of bygone years the writer believes it can be found by calling a match between the Flash and Century A1 ley Five. Five games passed the 1,000 mark, the 1,051 of the Coca Cola (earn in its middle game being high. Bob Hukle was in the form which made him high mar in the Century league Monday night, when h rolled 686, and came track with games of 212, 265 and 173, for a total of 650, which made him the leader again. This gives Bob a total of 1.336 for his week's work, an average of 228 per game. Other 600 shooters were: English, 647; Hueber, 623: Kramer. 601; Lovlch, 623, and "Nan” Schott, 627. The Century Ladles' League games were one-sided affairs Wednesday night, 1900-Whirl-pools, Mooney-Mueller-Ward, HarrisM. T. C0.,-U-Knos and Century Bob-

Off the Backßoard By NORMAN ISAACS
Today’s mail hrouplif the Indiana Stale High ,School Athletic Association Bulletin No. 6 of the 102(1-27 season. Ihe most important note in its entire contents was that of the board of control reorganization. John L. Adams, \ incennes High School coach,.is the new president, nnd will serve until July 1 of this year. ■ Principal C. P. Albaugh, La Fontaine, will take over the presklent’s job at that time and serve until Jan. 1,
1023.
The retiring board members are Lee O. Baird and G. G. Eppley. The new board members are J. Fred Hull, Kentland, and Harry Nixon, Portland. It is most gratifying to note the stand the association directors take in the matter of withdrawing teams from the floor. It follows: “The board of control of the I. 11. S. A. A. deplores the action of any one withdrawing a team from an athlete contest and announce* that such action in the future will jeopardize the standing of the school taking such action in the I. H. S. A, A.’* That Is one of the best moves the board of control ever has taken. Seven reasons were given for the decision and no objection can be raised to any. The reasons: 1 Partly played contests are unfair to the public that has paid to see complete games. ..., , „ 2. Athletics receive a "black eye as a result of partly-played contests 3. Withdrawal of a team from a contest settles nothing at all and is not a remedy for anything. , „ 4 A forfeited game has little to offer to the winning learn nnd no credit can he given the losing team 3 Hie decisions of officials must be considered as final, elec our games are Officials are agreed upon by the competing schools and an official that is good chough to "win with” is good enough to “lose with." 7 In ease* of dissatisfaction at a contest surely the principal", managers coaches and officials can reach agreements without a withdrawal of either team NO LIMIT Our question nnd answer bureau seems to be functioning tn fine order. The question today happens to be: Is (here any limit to the number of players a coach may use tn a game? The answer is, “No.” There Is no limit to the number of men used UNLESS In games arranged and managed by the Board of Control of the I. H. S. A. A. mT has been brought to our attention that the basketball team representing the Arsenal Technical High School of this city faces an unusually hard schedule Friday and Saturday. On the first of those two named evenings the Green and White will clash with Warren Central. Now, no doubt, half of the gigantic student body at the east side school already has formed the definite opinion that Warren Central will be a set-up. That is where we step in. The Techites’ game with Warren w r ill be a real chance to get a good line on the - ml '°"* n B " which the best quintets Campbell in this section. Warren Central was tumbled by the Greenfield snipers by a single point, the same margin by which the Techites fell before the Tigers, which makes It appear a toss-up. Saturday night at Shelbyville Arsenalites will bump into something that will be anything but pleasant. Any team coached by one Tim Campbell Is bound to do anything you wouldn’t expect it to do. Now, the Camels, as they known in Shelby Courtty, didn't. sere so well when Tim, who you can perceive the team was named after, was taken

That Mudville ‘Scandal’ (Continued from Page 12) stored after the |inie of 1907, and in 1920, when the Chicago papers reached Mudville. baseball was re- j surned. Most of the players who participated in that classic struggle of 1888 | were by this time too old to play ball, and anew and less heroic nine was assembled. Hangs Around Fire House Casey languished, after prohibition, for his stories of the days before the strikeout received less attention now. But still the breath of scandal never stirred the silvering locks on his massive head as he sat outside the firehouse, swapping stories and running errands for the firemen. Recently, however, rumors reached Mudville. A hobo who fell off tlie afternoon train was the first to start (he hall rolling. Then someone in a nearby village who tiad a radio picked - * up a bit of gossip. Mudville's foremost citizens held a caucus to decide whether or not Casey should be informed of the scandal that was reaching out for him. It was decided that it w f as better for his friends and well-wishers to break the news, and this was done. Everyone in Mudville who could borrow a sheet and pillow slip dressed up and went down past the vinegar works to the old folks home, to shake tho old ball player by the hand and assure him of their faith in his integrity. And if Casey noticed a bit of rope dangling from beneath one of the sheets, he realized after all that it was only a playful warning and said nothing about it.
