CINCINNATI REDS GIVEN EDfiEJN_PENNANT RACE ON WINTER DOPE BOOKS

the Backßoard

Not so very long ago we said Franklin College’s basketball tern would be dangerous for anyone. Thursday night the BapIsta proved that and even more by making themselves strictly trsenic to the De Pauw quintet. It was a splashing defeat the Plgers ran into, one that was totally unexpected. The worst Igured was a five or six-point margin. We had been told that yhen Franklin gets hot, Franklin IS hot. Now we believe it.

John Blue and Frank (Red) Far nan efeated W. Sargent and Ed. Harkenlder In a special ten-game match oiled on the Central and Recreation Llleys Thursday afternoon by a core of 3,893 to 3,844.

Tea 10., Wheelers and Marmons took two Ut of three from the Indianapolis Heat Cos., Indiana SlecWP Corporation, R. V. Law Moor Company, United Electric and M. : N. Lumber Company. High game honors went to Schoen Bros, when they reached 1,010 in their final effort. Seventeen games passed the 200 mark, the 266 of A. J. Schoen being high. Hayes, with 610, was high for three-game total. The Postofllce won six games Thursday night in the Captol No. 2 [/©ague, taking the R. B. Corp. in heir regular scheduled match and loing the same to the Mineralite lutflt in a postponed session. Gregory & Appel also were three-time dinners, downing the National Reining Boys.

Bohne also reached 600 with games of 184, 228 and 200, for a total of 612. Twenty-eight games passed the 200 mark, the 242 of Minerly of the Wright team being high spot. Through lack of cooperation the Sunday afternoon travelling league seems to have died. The writer still believes that a league of this kind would prove to be very popular. The greatest drawback was the lateness of the season. A one-round schedule did not seem satisfactory and two rounds would carry the thing into the hot months. So we will just bury the idea for this wsason and try to revive it next fall.

Lyons, tall Frankln center, has developed Into a wonderful basketball player. His under-the-basket work might give opposing teams a severe pain, hut to the spectators it is great. He zips under with terrific speed, keeping rhythym and form all the time. Little Johnny Ward of De Pauw is nobody’s chump. He’s a flashy performer and onco started on the goalgetting path is a hard man to stop. He got under way rather late Thursday night. You can just Imagine how these Indiana coaches are feeling. Skinner and Wooden. Franklin regulars, are sophomores. And If that isn't bad enough. Skinner really can "go.” Griz Wagner made King into a floorguard, but ho didn’t have to (spend much time In making Skinner a backguard. That young man was a whiz when he decided he had accumulated his thirty-two credits In high school. mT is our prediction that onehalf of the male population of that portion of Indianapolis known as the south side wall be on hand Sunday afternoon at. S. S. Turner Hall to witness the first of the three annual clashes between the South Side Turners and tiie Communal Y. M. H. A. basketball teams. What some authors delight in calling an “intense rivalry’’ has sprung up between the teams and supporters of each and some real battles have been handed out In past years. This year the Jewish lads, coached by Glen Kline, former

has the reputation of being a peaceable, mild-mannered youth, but when trouble troubles him —“Oh, man!” “Ducky” formerly played at Manual and rambles along at one of the forward positions while "Izzy” SackofT, another ex-Manual luminary cavorts at the other forward job. Tt will be a south side affair, first, j last and all the time. APPLIES TO INDIVIDUALS A young man from Manual comes across with the question to our now j regularly established question and i answer bureau with the following ! inquiry: May a student play in more than twenty games of basketball during I the season on different teams? No. The twenty-game limitation ( applies to individuals as well as teams. That ruling was established to prevent hoys from straining them--elves during the season. Twenty games was believed a logical number of games. Tt was mainly for the players, not the teams. Thursday night the Baptist* tamed the Tigers. What will happen tonight when the Bulldogs and the Purple Acee get together? We fancy the Bulldog will be just a little more vicious. It ought to be a Butler night. You might be Interested In knowing ihat Bedford and Vlncennea will ; meet tonight. Times Puts Butler Fray on Air \ few thousand fans will witness j the Butler-Kvansvllle basket game i in the new Armory tonight, and many others will be listening to Blythe Q. Hendricks broadcast the battle on the air for the Indianapolis Times through the Merchant’s Heat and Light Company station, WF’BM (268 meters). Hendricks knows the game and knows how to describe it. When a ! player dribbles down the floor and 'crashes thrpugh” under the basket to score a m>ld goal and the roar of the crowd goes up, Blythe Hendricks will be “right with the ball.” ! Hendricks will go on the air shorti ly before the game starts at 8 ! o’clock. | Basketball Notes The Irvington M E.b with eleven vle- ; fortes in twelve starts, desire games with last city and State teams playing in the 1 !) rear old class.

Terrific Fight Predicted in National, However —Hendricksmen Are Strong. By Frank Getty NEW YORK. Jan. 7.—From this distance, it is hard to see how the Cincinnati Reds can fail to win the National League pennant in 1927. It looks like a five-team race, and a close one, however. Jack Hendricks' team not only Is thd strongest on paper, but possesses greater possibilities for improving Its 1926 form than any of its rivals. The National League is unusually weak in pitchers, but the staff which has Pete Donohue, Carl Mays. Eppa Rlxey and Adolfo Luque os its nucleus looks as strong as any at this stage. ' , Some Good Clubbers When it comes to hitting, Cinclnnattl has the two leaders of the circuit, Rube Bressler, an outfielder, and Bubbles Hargrave, catcher. There still Is some controversy as to which of these is entitled to the National League batting crown, but Hendricks should wprry—they are both on his club. Bressler hit .357 for eighty-six contests, Hargrave .353 for 105 games. Bubbles also had the excellent fielding average of .988. Wally Pipp played throughout the season at first base, compiling a fielding average of .992, which shows he was a reliable mark for the young Cincinnati infield to throw at. Crit* In All Games Hughle Critz, the Redß’ second baseman, was another “Iron man” who didn't miss a game, and w ho set two new fielding records in addition. Hughie accepted 945 chances and made 588 assists, both new marks for the National League. Neither Pinelli or Dressen distinguished himself at bat during the past season, the latter being the better hitter with a mark of .265, but both fielded well up with the league leaders. A slugging third baseman would look sweet In a Cincinnati uniform. In the outfield, Hendricks was well supplied with talent. Bressler led the league. Next came Hargrave, and then Christensen, another Red outfielder, with a mark of .350 for 114 games. The latter is a great fielder, as well. Eddie Roush hit .323, and Curtis Walker .306. Naturally, Cincinnati led the league in team batting, with a mark of .290.
