Playing the Field --With Billy Evans ■

DDIE COLLINS, the smartest I H ball player I ever came into 1 1 ' I contact with, stored at football as well as baseball when he attended Columbia University. While football and baseball have but little in common, most of the col-

lege athletes who shine on the gridiron are pretty good diamond performers. Without exception, practically every big league collegian frankly admits that at college he far preferred football to baseball, despite its strenuosity. One day last summer while Collins

Evans

and I were discussing a football game that both of us had attended the previous fall, I put this question to him: “You’ve played both games, Eddie, which do you regard as the more scientific?” I knew that I would get an analytical reply from Collins, who is always the student. Here it is: VIEWS OF COLLIN'S < ■ FOOTBALL from the angle of W I team play calls for more sciP 1 ence than baseball. The diamond game offers more possibilities for the individual. “Ty Cobb, with his remarkable batting eye, great speed, deceptive slide and keen mind, would have been an outstanding star on any ball club. “Walter Johnson's abliity to win consistently even when with a hopeless tailender is further proof of how a star can asert himself in baseball. “Class on the part of the individual player will assert itself in baseball regardless of conditions. “In football there have been few star players who have shown with the brilliancy of Cobb, but individual merit was not entirely responsible as hi Ty’s case. Invariably much needed assistance on the part of their teammates made possible the fame that came their way, “It is unfortunate, but in football, the glory always goes to the ball toter, although the men in the line and the players forming the interference play an equally important part.” breaks play part rsriREAKS play a big part in allIR I spor.ts, but ''it always struck I Ime that none offered more possibilities for fickle fortune to cast the deciding (Jie than baseball. A pitcher to win consistently in the majors must be favored by the breaks. Ic is not enough that he pitch effectively. . This team must give him able support in the field and at the bat and luck smile on him. I don’t believe I ever observed a better example of the above truth than the experience of Waite Hoyt during the early stages of the 1925 race. Waite Hoyt, to my way of thinking, is a great pitcher. Hoyt has everything that goes to make a star, speed, curves, fine charge of pace and &, wise noodle. Yet, despite all his natural ability, backed by an intelligent mind, Waite Hoyt during the first two months of the 1925 season wasn't able to finish a ball game. CONCRETE EXAMPLE mN his first fifteen attempts that season Hoyt was unable to register a single victory. Just to illustrate what the breaks mean. In his twelfth attempt to go over, It seemed as if he was about to succeed against the St. Louis Browns. With two out in the first half of the ninth, the score stood 5-2 in favor of New York, Hoyt looked a sure winner. Hoyt fumbled an easy tap that should have been the third out. The next batter hit the first ball for a home run, making the score 5-4. The next man up also hit the first pitch for a homer, the game was tied and Hoyt was on his way to the clubhouse. Pennock finished the game and the Yanks won in ten innings. HORSESHOE TITLE MEET Risk and Jackson Lose in Monday Upsets. Bu United Press ST.

MARMON PLAYERS CHOSEN Locals Stack Up Powerful for Thursday Fray With Pros.

One of the best independent basket teams ever assembled in this cityon paper, at any rate —has been organized by the Mammons to oppose the Ft. Wayne team of the American Professional Basketball League at the Armory Thursday night, and as Ft. Wayne is up among the leaders in the pennant race (second half) of the big pro loop, fans will have anopportunity to see whether the claim of superiority of the pro brand of nfet. pastimiisg is valid. Jaclc Winston, sensation of the Western Conference until the end of last semester at Indiana University, is the latest addition to the Harmons, and his 6 feet 4 inches will prove a tower of strength for the tip-off and back guard. Bob Nipper, former Butler ace, will be in the other guard position, alternating with Kenny Roberts of the Turners. Harold Harmeson will start at center, while a trio of crack basket snipers, in Red Robinson of Wabash and E. Harmeson and Lugar, formerly of Purdue, will be the field artillery at forward. The Marmons downed the Big Fours Monday night,*4B to 33, in a game at Murat Temple, staged for Shriners only.

Metoquah Cancels Bout With Wiggins; Madden Sought to Battle Chuck

After agreeing to meet Chief John Metoquah here next Monday night, Chuck Wiggins, local heavy, was informed today the match is off and that another worthy opponent will be secured for him. Memquah battled Bartley Madden, New York heavy, in Chicago Monday, and was shaded in ten rounds. The Chief received a badly lacerated lower lip and will be out of action three weeks, according to a wire received today from his manager, Sam Jordan. Wiggins expressed disappointment over the turn of affairs, because he was eager to show he did not “fear” Metoquah, who has gained two decisions over him in three encounters. Promoter Shine of the Progress A. C. was busy this afternoon shooting wires over the country and in one he made an attractive offer to Bartley Madden to take Metoquah’s place against Wiggins. Some dandy prelims are being lined up by the Progress, and three of them follow: , Soldier Shannon. Ft. Harrison, vs. Marion Kepner, Indianapolis; middleweight*. Ehrman Clerk, Indianapolis, vs. Bobby Wilson t Danville, 111.: 130 pounds. •Tac-kie Purvis. Kokomo, vs. Farmer Jack. Indianapolis; velters. The Shannon-Kepner bout should be a thriller. These two battled like a pair of bulldogs at a recent Elks show, with knockdowns galore. BLUE WINS Shortridge Snipers Turn in Victory Over Carmel. Shortridge turned in a 31-25 victory over Carmel High School ,net snipers Monday night at Shortridge gym. The locals pulled out with a victory qnly through a spurt in the final minutes of play. The Carmel quintet put up a hard fight throughout and were behind, 13-10, at the end of the first half. The visitors went into the lead early in the second half when the Shortridge regulars were sent in, but the Blue and White evened matters up and broke away near the end of the fray. FINAL GAME City Amateur Net Tourney Winds Up Tonight. Ramblers and Meteors . meet tonight in the final game of the city independent amateur tournament at the Y. M. C. A. The winner will represent the city in the State independent meet to be held at Tomlinson Hall Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. The Ramblers, defending champs, are favored to win the sectional tourney because of the impressive showing put up in the majority of its games in the meet: The Meteors, however, will be fighting hard and a real battle is expected. The game starts at 8 o’clock. ROSE POLY WINS FINAL Bu United Press TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 22. Producing a well-timed, lightning fast offense and a defense which Vincennes University never was able to solve, Rose Poly, Monday night brought its basketball season to a close with a 41-25 victory. The Alices were able to offer a fairly good fight early in the game but the Engineers gradually pulled away and crossed the finish line in a walk.

Rickard May Have Something to Say, However, Is Opinion. By Henry 1.. Farrell United Press Staff Corrcsoondent NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—Humkrt Fugazy, runner-up to Tex Rickara in the merry business of promoting prize fights, is attempting to win another pot from his better known contemporary. Fugazy has jumped into the heavyweight elimination tournament, Rickard's pet project, with an offer of $300,000 to Jack Dempsey for a bout wjtli Jim Maloney, recent conqueror of Jack Delaney. A United Press dispatch from Los Angeles today said that Gene Normile, Dempsey’s business representative, had announced after a two-hour conference with the former champion that he “probably would accept Fugazy’s proposal if no larger offers were forthcoming.” The probability is that Dempsey will return to the ring and meet Maloney, but not under the direction of Fugazy. The guess is that Tex Rickard will stage the bout and it will be held between Decoration day and the Fourth of July at one of the lca:al ball parks. Fugazy has made the same mistake he exhibited while courting Gene Tunney’s signature to a contract after the marine had won the heavyweight championship. He tipped his hand to Rickard and the latter went right out and,,hiked the bid. While the wily Texan may not offer Dempsey more than $300,000, if that, there is one thing he can promise thUt Fugazy cannot, and that is a bout with Tunney. The\ feeling has grown lately among local boxing fans that the so-called “elimination” tournament may already have succeeded in eliminating every one but Dempsey and Maloney. Both fighters are drawing cards, and probably would prove better gate attractions than any of the other heavyweights now matched in the tournament, including Mike McTigue, Jack Sharkey, Paolino and Knute Hansen. LEADS FIELD Kentucky Golfer at Top in Florida Open. Bu United Press CLEARWATER, Fla., Feb. 22. William Burke, Danville, Ky., led a crack field of golfers with his first round score of 147, at the beginning of the second round of play of the Florida open golf championships today. Bill Mehlhom, the frisky Chicagoan, was the only notable, who pushed Burke for honors during the first round, but he wound up in third place with a score of 149, relinquishing second to James Carberry, Chicago. 148. Other leaders included: Willie Klein. Garden City, N. Y., 150 ;Louis Waldron, Boston, 150; Bobby Cruickshank, Purchase, N. Y., 151; Mike Brady, New York, 153, and Laurie Ayton, Chicago, 154.

We don’t believe Arthur is going to exaggerate his own importance as many youngsters do. Arthur is a level-headed boy—he must be. And the reason is this: In the final game of the tournament Waldron was leading the Berry “B's” 24-25 with less than one minute to go. B. Miller. Waldron center, fouled Dickerson. Arthur coolly tossed in both free throws after time was out to give his team the victory and the championship. Any young man who can step to the foul line in such a pinch and deliver the goods must have a level head.
