PURPLE DEFEATS BUTLER Two Free Throws in Final Moments Give Evansville Victory. By Norman Isaacs Had one of Butler College’s repi-e----sentatlves of the net sport not grown over anxious In Friday night’s game with Evansville at the new Armory the Bulldog quintet might be rejoicing over a victory today instead of being wrathfully remindful of the fact that Evansville won the game, 25-23. A personal foul, called on a Butler player for fouling an Evansville man in the act of shooting for the goal in the closing minutes of play, was the margin. Gardner, flashy Purple Ace forward, proved to be one of those cool, even-minded chaps even under intense pressure. He calmly stepped to the foul line and sank the pair of free throws without even touching the rim. And it was all over when the gun went off a moment later. The game was one of those hardfought battles in which firßt one and then the other team holds the advantage. Evansville held a 10-8 lead at the conclusion of the first half, but which counted for little in the fiercely fought second half. The score was tied half a dozen times and the crowd was in a fever heat. Tom Rea Gardner were the high scorers for Evansville, while Chandler snagged high point honors for the Bulldogs.

Evansville played a deliberate game, stalling for openings and at the same time keeping Butler away from the ball, which we believe was most important of all. The Evansville boys were using their heads and didn’t let Butler handle that basketball any too much. T Asa whole, the Butler netters were erratic on shooting and still worse on their passing. Hinkle's men generally are accurate passers and make every shot under the basket count. Friday night exactly the reverse was true. Time after time a Butler man would find himself under the basket, free, and then proceed to dub his Bhot. The Blue and White, despite the erratic work, made a great game of it in the second half, and when Evansville started trailing—things happened so faslt one hardly could follow the ball. During the second half we were right behind Blythe Hendricks, who was broadcasting the game for the Indianapolis Times over WFBM. Blythe enjoyed the battle. “Here he comes under the basket —golly!—lie missed it—there Holz has shot again—it's rolling around the hoop—it’s going (o go in—no!— it rolled out—an Evansville man has the ball—Cowboy Ijing has It—there it goes to Rea—Tom, I mean—oh— Lang's got It again—he’s shot—he made it and the seore is now—” Blythe got us excited and we came near jumping up and down. Those folks at home vnyst have been throwing the furniture around when Blythe announced. ’’A minute more to go—and the score is tied!’’ Man, oh, man! Fights and Fighters Hu United Press .

Landis Weighs Evidence (Continued From Page 10) was given to Detroit as a “present” for good work the Tigers did against Boston, who at that time was run-ner-up to Chicago for the league lead. 2. The Inability of some of the Detroit players to make a complete accounting of the distribution of the pot—sßso. Bill James, Tiger pitcher, admitted receiving the money, but could not tell what he did with all of it. Itisberg and Gandll asserted the amount was $l,lOO. 3. The failure of Risberg and Gandil to prove that Eddie Collins, Red Faber and Ray Schalk or Clarence Rowland, then the White Sox manager, had any knowledge that any arrangement existed between the Tigers and White Sox, except their admittals that they knew the Tiger pitchers were to be given S2OO each for every game they won from Boston. .James’ Statement Bill James, when he took the stand, admitted that Gandil gave him the SBSO, but said the money came with the understanding that it was to be given to the Tiger pitchers, at the rate of S2OO for each game they had won against Boston. "I gave S2OO to Willie Mitchell, the same to George Daus3, kept S2OO for myself and gave SSO each to Bernle Boland and George Cunningham,” James /Said. That left $l5O to be accounted for. James said he could not remember what he did with this, but that he probably gave Oscar Stanage, catcher, SIOO. Stanage previously has testified that he received about $75 and that this amount had been made up from money that the pitchers chipped in out of their shares. “Then Stanage received $175 in all,” Landis countered. The commisioner called Stanage to the stand and asked him to explain the discrepancy. "It may have been $75 or $175,” Stanage said. “If James says he gave me SIOO out of the original pot, he must have done it.” James was preceded on the stand by Chick Gandil. The former star first baseman told about the same sTory that Swede Risberg previously has told—to the effect that the Sox and Tigers conspired to "fix” the series in order that Chicago might gain a lead ov/sr Boston. Gandil told of giving James the money in Philadelphia. He said that the money was given to James for the “friendship Detroit had shown Chicago in allowing the White Sox to win the four games.” Landis then informed him that the other players who testified had said tills money was for the Tiger defeats of Boston. Gandil asked for the box score of the four games. Then he proceeded to point out that the White Sox “were certainly allowed more bases on balls and stolen bases than they were entitled to.” Chick, after charging the Tigers “threw” the senes, added further fuel to the fire by corroborating Risborg’s charges that the Sox in turn “threw” three games to the Tigers, Sept. 26, 27, 28, 1919, as a return for the Tiger favor of 1917. “We had the pennant cinched in 1919 when we met the Tigers,” Gandil said. “Detroit was fighting hard for a place in the money, so we thought it would be nice if we’d help them out a bit, considering what they'd done for us two years before." Gandil denied the Tigers gave the the Sox any money as he said the Sox did with Detroit. Chick was followed on the stand by several other players, who had not testified previously. They included Bird Lynn, former White Sox pitcher; Oscar Vltt, non' a manager in the Coast League; Hasbrook, a Sox “rookie” in 1917 and Roy Wilkinson, former White Sox pitcher. Each denied any knowledge of the affair except Hasbrook. Hasbrook had the following to say: “Our club was in Boston, the latter part of the season, a meeting was held, from which I was excluded. I stood outside, feeling “sheepish” and hurt because I wasn’t allowed in. After a while the players came out. Chick Gandil came up to me and to relieve my feelings told me that the reason I wasn’t allowed in was that he didn’t think, that inasmuch as I hadn’t been with the club long, that I should give away any money.” Landis seized on it because all players accused by Risberg and Gandil swore that “discussion of the pot” had not come up at any meetings. “Hasbrook is right, judge,” Gandi|, said/ “I told you that the thing was discussed at meetings.” Eddie Collins, Ray Schalk, Clarelce Rowland, and several others then testified that the meeting was probably just “one of the daily meetings” and that “rookies were sometimes barred from these.” Further evidence that Buck Weaver, another “blacklisted” player, who always maintained his innocence, was guiltless of any complicity in this affair was furnished by Oscar Vitt. Previous testimony had developed that Weaver refused to eonstribute to any pot but that he had given Vitt a Christmas present as his share. “Buck gave me a Christmas present every year from 1914 to 1919,” Vitt said. We used to spend our winters together in the California mountains. That present had nothing to do with this whatever.” Vitt said he knew nothing about any "game-throwing.” CHALLENGES FATHER Bv United Press NEW YORK, Jan.

B.—The last session of the week on the stock exchange got under way with prices firm in all sections of the list and trading active. Representative issues were in good demand. The Wall Street Journal’s financial review described the day’s business as follows: A measure of the extend of investment demand which is overflowing into the stock exchange was afforded by the rise in the average price of forty leading bonds as compiled by Dow-Jones & Cos., to a further record high at 96.35 at Friday’s close. This evidence of a large mass of funds seeking placement was the principal influence in Friday’s demonstration of strength of standard stocks and this factor continued dominant in early trading today.

AGIO SHOW OPENS IN NEWYORK CITY New and Improved Models on Exhibit. Bv United Preee NEW YORK, Jan. B.—Following a year in which anew production record was set by manufacture of 4,600,000 cars, American automobile firms today exhibited the models by which they seek to attract an even larger trade volume in 1927. Three hundred open and closed types, shining and in their newness appearing incapable of punctures, frozen motors or any of the other ills which at times beset a car, were displayed at the twenty-seventh annual national automobile show. Forty manufacturers were represented. The show was brighter In color this year than ever before. The factories have paid marked attention to body designs and offer a variety of color styles for the prospective buyer, who may select the hue that best suits his temperament or disposition. Technically the trend seems to be toward the small type six-cylinder car with compact engine and body on a small wheelbase. The eight-cylinder car has attracted more manufacturers, with Marmon, Chandler, Paige and Stearns-Knight entering the field. Lighter types of eight-cylinder cars are common. Two new low-hung cars probably will attract their share of attention. The Studebaker Corporation presents the Erskine on a 107-inch chassis, the height of the sedan model from ground to roof being only 67 Inches. The Franklin special tandem sport car is even lower, 65.2 inches in height. Produce Markets Butter (wholesale price) Creamery host grade, a pound. 52(3 54c.

LOCAL LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE ENJOYS PROSPEROUS WEEK Hog Market Most Outstanding for the Period. A review of the Indianapolis livestock market for the last week shows an Increase in the average prices on hogs and cattle, while sheep and calves are about the same as the preceding week. The hog market for the week would indicate an upward trend In values. It is believed, though, that much of an increase in the flow of porkers to tne market would be unfortunate. Big packers are still fighting the market; it was the small Eastern packers that made the market of the week closing today. With hogs now on a winter weight basis the light ones are the more popular. This, added to the fact there was a material decrease in the receipts at the principal markets in 1926 as compared with 1925, justifies the argument for higher prices in the future. However, this seems to be a good time to market finished hogs. Increased Receipts A substantial increase in the number received at the Indianapolis Union Stockyards occurred this week, practically one-third more than the week before. Receipts around the market 1 circle also showed a perceptible increase, but any bearish influence that might have been exerted on the market has been more than offset by a greater demand on the part of Eastern shippers. Better grades of fed steers are •scarce, although the cattle receipts at the principal markets, including Indianapolis, show a slight increase for the week. This was met by an increased demand, the price on steers varying from 25 to in some cases 75 cents above the low close a week ago. Prices were some better on yeralings, although their gain was less. There is a bullish undertone to the trade and higher prices are easily possible. Only a few weeks ago extreme heavy steers were held over from day to day awaiting bids, but now, with the prospects of a shortage, they are being sought by the killers. Cows Active The cow market continues active and strong, all classes being cleared daily. Good light heifers are in demand, but mediums are hard to move, closing 25 to 40 cents lower than the last week-end. Bulls were active and butcher cattle scarce and steady. In spite of the fact that the calf market has been active and with good prices, the net average is approximately $1 below last week’s. The level of the sheep and lamb market is little changed from that of the previous week. The local de maud for good fat westerns appears broader, with little change in price, while the fed lamb market is still disappointing to the feeder. Indianapolis Stocks —Jan. 7 —Stocks— Bid. Ask.

The market was little changed, with prices as follows: Beef steers, $8.75(5)10.25; beef cows, [email protected]; low cutters and cutter cows, [email protected]; bulk stock and feeder steers, $0.50(g;8. The week ended today with hog prices at the Indianapolis Union Stockyards the highest they have been in nearly two weeks. As they have been gaining steadily since Tuesday, it can hardly be assumed that the increase today was a result of the smaller run, which in itself is not unusual for Saturday. In comparison with the Chicago market,’ prices are higher here. Prices have advanced there, for the most part, similarly to loCal rates, but started from a lower point and have not made large enough gains to reach the level of prices here. To the 4,000 porkers arriving today were added 353 holdovers. The increase averaged 15 cents on the hundredweight. The bulk of today’s sales ranged from $12.35, Friday's top, to $12.50, the new top.

BULLISH ELEMENT CONTROLS WHIP II MARKET* Two Major Profession Groups Fight for Supremacy. Ry E. Walter Moeliler NEW YORK, Jan. B.—Stocks w< swayed by conflicting influem Friday, the net result being an i pearance of steadiness despite p sistent selling. The market has veloped into a struggle 1 supremacy between two major p fessional groups. The bullish elem< holds the whip hand at present, cause it holds most of the stocks a therefore there is no top-heavy pi lie long interest to threaten t stability of the market. Money continued easy which mr the problem of holding on to tin stocks fairly easy. Decision On the other hand the bearish e< tingent desires to force a decisl on the basis of the continued lack outside participation and the gene feeling of indecision which has suited from the caution of the gi eral public. In addition to the easy money o< ditions, tlie stock market has lie reinforced by the consistent strenj. in tin- bond markets where the hi a investment demand lias been sendi the leading issues steadily high As generally expected the Natioi City syndicate experienced no dl Unity in disposing of the few renia ing bonds of the City of New Yt despite the very low yield basis which the bonds were offered to vestors. No Response There was no response in the m ket to the announcement from Cle land that the new Nic-kle PI would be offered for the consist tion of the Interstate Com me Commission before the end of month. Bankers in close touch with Nickel Plate situation here were dined to agree that the plan wo be offered within a few weeks. S gestions that the naming of an head for the Erie Coal prope.: ( might mean that these prope . were to be segregated before the n plan would be offered were not e sidered seriously. It is felt that | coal properties question did not ter seriously into the, present sit tion, at least not to an extent wh would seriously threaten the succ of the new plan.
