MAJORS Holdouts i Big Show Come to Terms Easily. By Henry L. Farrell l nitctl Prc* Staff OorrvHDondent NKW YORK, Jan. 24.—Sane busino.ss inert do not believe that the recent scandals will make baseball bankrupt, and neither do the players. but for some reason the hired help of the major leagues' club own. ers are signing new contracts with alacrity and smiles. Before Rogers Hornsby was traded out of the management of the world champion St. Louis Cardinals to the (Hants and when the New York Yankees heard a rumor that Babe Ruth thought he might be worth SIOO,OOO per on anew contract, there were good reasons to believe that there might be a concerted holdout movement this spring. But when the scandals started popping, when two of the greatest veterans of baseball were eased out of their jobs and when many of the highest ranking stars In the game were summoned to testify before Commissioner Landis, the magistrates began announcing the receipt of signed contracts from some of the most habitual salary disputers iri baseball. Hornsby couldn’t get what he wanted from the St. Louis club, and when he was given passage up the •r to New York it whs thought John McQraw would have a job more difficult than winning a pennant in getting the prize elephant of the league on paper. McGraw and Hornsby, however, reached an agreement, on terms after a conference of about ten minutes. It was reported at the time that Hornsby asked for $40,000 a year and got it with such little effort that he felt he was a sucker for not demanding more. McGraw's troubles seemed sure when he manipulated a trade by which he secured Burley Grimes from the Brooklyn club, one of the most addicted hold-outs In baseball, but Grimes’ contract came back in the next mail. The St. Louis Browns were thought to be in a mess when George Sisler was deposed as the *ianager and was threatened with a transfer to some less desirable club. Sisler signed a new contract as a first baseman for $15,000 which was said to have been alcut of SIO,OOO In good dough. Carl Mays, who used to give the Yankees gray hairs wiien It came contract time, was one of the first Cincinnati Reds to get on paper. Zacb Wheat, Released by Brooklyn, took a job from Connie Mack, after a short telephone talk.

More Pointers for Centers * * * • ♦ * On Offense and Defense

By Kieli Deiglian, Center, Cleveland Professional Champions OAVTNG discussed the part physical greatness plays in the work of the center, it is now proper to analyze the part a keen mind, constant practice and the tricks of the trade play in his success. Basketball requires instant thinking and this is not only only true of tho

center. But a slow-thinking center is especially at a disadvantage, for he is the one man depended upon to break up mhny plays at mid-court as well as start many of his own team's offensive drives. You must anticipate the move of your opponent and the farther you think ahead of the other fellow the better off you and your team will be. ’' Few centers are rated as excellent shots. The reason for this is probably because centers spend most of their time in following the ball, intercepting passes of the opponents and passing to his teammates. However, a good center should have a fairly good shooting eye and be a dangerous shot from most every angle of the court. It in the duty of the center on offensa to help work the ball into scoring position. He must be ablo to handle the ball on either end of a play—that is to make a pass to a teammate for a shot or to receive a pass and

make the shot himself. After the shot it is his duty to follow up the ball so as to regain possession of it if the shot js missed. lie should follow up the shots of his teammates as well as his own. He should assume one of the two positions under his basket allowed each club, when his team is trying for a goal from the foul line, his job being either to follow up the missed shot or pass to one of his fellow players so they may make! a try for the basket. The chief duty for the center on defense is to keep his man out of the play. In this he must be assisted by his fellow players because a successful defense can not be made an individual affair. It must be a defense by the whole club and there are times when a center is not in position to take his own man out of the play, in which case a teammate should cover his man and the center switch to another opponent until the play is completed. Another duty of the center is to follow up his opponents’ shots for the basket and get possession of the ball when the shot is missed. He takes a position on the foul line when the opposition has a foul try, so as to recover the ball, just as he does when his own team is trying for a foul shot.

CITY BOWLING GOSSIP

The alley owners’ classic got under way at the Elks Club, over the weekend and some wonderful shooting was on display. Larry Fox led the field with a total of 887, an average of 222 for the four games. Larry started with a great 276 and continued on to the lead. Other winners were: J. B. Tlunt. 855; Frank Hueber, 845: J. Speleher, 836; Bob Hukle, 820; Charles Schott. 799; B. Johnson. 799 and \V. Murray, 799. Next Sunday’s play will be held at the Central alleys. The A. C. Bradley team defeated i the Armstrong girls of Terre Haute in a special match at the Illinois alleys by a score of 2,348 to 2,174. I tichabaugh of the Bradley team was high scorer in this match with games of 168. 185 and 174, for a total of 527. Webster was high for tlie visitors setting 505 on games of 165, 183 and 157.

Going at this pace makes the writer predict that before the seasons expires some week will show 100 of the boys reaching the select circle. Nine teams passed the 2,900 mark in league play, with the 3,213 of the Silver Flash team leading the way. This is the second 3.200 total for the 1 lash boys for the season, they having dropped 3.231 about two months ago.

year people have turned to the buses, because of their established dependability and safety. Our record of having carried more than 9,000,000 persons without a serious injury to -any passenger is one of which to be proud, but it is the experience of the bus business everywhere. Motor coach engineers have placed safety above every other consideration in the construction of equipment and we have carried out this policy in our management, with the result of convincing many that busses are the safest public conveyance ever put into use. “During the past month there have been severe weather conditions. but with slight variations to schedule we have kept up an eighteen-hour service day after day and have carried thousands of people, who were not riding our busses last year. Public convenience has been demonstrated by patronage and Indianapolis is entitled to an extension of motor coach service over streets and to rural sections now inadequately served.” C. M. T. C.
