ill/ United Press FT. MYERS, Fla., Feb. 24.—With Cobb, Eddie Collins and Zack Wheat reinforcing the Athletics’ attack this year, the Mackmen are In training at this winter paradise, with a not unreasonable prospect of dragging a pennant to Connie Mack's ball yard in Philadelphia next autumn. In addition to Mack fortifying his outfield with such a formidable pair as Cobb and Wheat, and building up the keystone sack with the redoubtable Eddie, the wily manager has not neglected other weak spots that came to light last season. Branom on First Dudley Branom, the rangy athlete from Kansas City, will start on first this year. ,With Eddie Collins on second and Jack Bole.y, Baltimore star, at short and Jimmy Dykes on third. Mack has an infield with a mixture of youngsters and veterans of which much may be exacted. PEollins, with twenty years in fast company, is expected to steady Boley and Bfanom, though the former started with the Orioles for seven seasons and Branom held a job for fOur years with Kansas City. The pitchers and the catchers. Bates, who was recruited from Martinsburg, W. Va., and the three veteran receivers, Cochrane, Perkins and Fox, preceded the rest of the squad here by a week, arriving Feb. 20 for early workouts. 34 on Roster When Cobb joins the squad March 1 Mack will have thirty-four ball tossers cavorting around the training lot.

Shortridge and Cathedral eaeli will play two games, while Manual. Technical, Broad Ripple and Boys Prep play one. Friday Shot-Bridge will be host to West Lafayette in the Shortridge gym, the only home-gam? of the night. Ripple will be at Peru and Cathedral at Garfield of Terre Haute.

Jefferson of Lafayette will move down front Logansport to play Technical at the Armory, Pendleton will play Manual at the south siders’ gym, while Onarga (111.) Military Academy will play at Boys Prep. Eyes of the majority of local fans are glued on the rapidly approaching sectional tournament, to be played a week from Friday at the Exposition building, Stßte fairground. Tech Is Favorite Technical is an overwhelming favorite, but hopes of Broad Ripple, Manual and Shortridge fans are far from dim and they are behind their respective teams hoping for a complete reversal of form. Technical won the city championship by defeating all three of the other local public high school fives, and in addition lately has seemingly found its stride and gave the Logansport “A” team a hard battle, knotting the score at the halt and defeating Vincennes the following evening.

Jim Poole, first base: Max Bishop, second base: Chick Galloway, short, arid Sammy Hale on third. And the A’s have an all around handy man in Sigafoos of Reading. “I figure my boys are going to make a better showing tins year than they did in '25 or ’26.” Connie said “I was disappointed at their finishing in third place last year, figuring I had a winner. But with the addition we "have made this year prospects are bright for the bunting.”

Wiggins Matched With Freas

Promoter Shine of the Progress A. C. Wednesday night signed up Billy Freas, Grand Rapids light heavyweight, to' battle Chuck Wiggins, Indianapolis, over the tenround route in the main go at Tomlinson Hall Monday night. Freas is rated young and sturdy and the type of fighter that keeps on the aggressive. His age is 24 and he has won over some of the veterans in the light heavy division. Shine selected the Michigander because he desired a man to supply action. Sam Markus, Wiggins’ former manager, is handling Freas, and he said today the Grand Rapids battler would give Chuck some real opposition. Markus will have Freas here to finish training at 210 E. Ohio St., in order to give the ring fans and boxing commissioners a chance to size him up. Freas has victories over Joe Packo, Joe Lohman, Billy Britton, Mike Wallace, Jackie Clark, Tommy Burns, Harry Krone, Soldier King and others. Promoter Shine is lining up an attractive prelim card to support the Freas-Wiggins main go. JACK MUST “SHOW” TEX Richard Still Insists Dempsey Tike Trial Bout First.

City Bowling Gossip By Lefty Lee The Charley Daw-Kartheiser ! match was won by Daw in the finish ! of the last game, by a total of sixteen pins, when Daw struck out from the ninth, while Kartheiser ‘‘chopped a cherry” in His tenth frame. This was one of the most exciting and close matches ever staged over the sixty-game route. Five-man teams to the number of 1,452 have entered the A. B. C. tourney, which starts next month in the Armory at Peoria, 111. While this entry is not a record-breaker for this event, the scores, we believe, will prove that stronger teams will make up the entry. In the Capitol No. 1 League games Wednesday night the Em-Roes and Marotts were winners in straight sets over the YVerbe-Meissen and H. E. Schmidt, while Robbins Body and Silver Flash were taking two out ot three from the Coca-Cola and 3-F Coffee boys. The Silver Flash boys were the only club to hit in their usual fashion in this loop, leading the league with games of 1,077, 964 and 1,021 for a total of 3,062. These two scores over 1,000 by the Flash boys were the only games to pass this mark. Eddie Hornberger led the field of nine 600 shooters with a total of 645 secured on games of 247, 193 and 205. A1 Striebeck had 642; Wheeler, 642; Sargent, 600; Kimmel, 615; Lovich, 619; Parsons, 600; E. Striebeck, 603, and Hueber, 600. Thirty-six scores passed the 200 mark, the two Als, Striebeck and Kimmel, being tied for high game at 248. v We paid Bill Cottom a visit In Muncie Wednesday and gave hio plant the once over. Bill’s place Is located in the Hotel Roberts Bldg. ! and he surely is glad to see the old home town boys when they are in Muncie, y The Recreation alleys will hold a sweepstakes for bowlers with an average of 180 or under next Sunday. See or call Eddie Harkenrlder for reservations. The dish at the Elks Club Sunday will be a head-pin sweepstakes for women. Some good scoring can be expected. | Frank McCaughan was another of the old-time Indianapolis bowlers we saw at Muncie Wednesday. Frank will be remembered for his 1,314 total at the Grand Rapids A. B. C., paired with Henry Peachey. The Calumets and Santa Maria's won three games from the Isabellas, and Marquette teams In the "Casey” League games rolled on the Century alleys, while'the La Salle and Ninas took two out of three from the Columbians and Pintas. Mike O’Grady led the field with a j count of 612 on games of 190, 235 games passed the 200 mark, Lauck’s 245 In his middle effort being high. The Bankers’ League games, rolled on the Central alleys, resulted in three-time wins for the American Central, Fletcher Savings and Trust and Continental National over the Bankers’ Specials, Fletcher Trust and Indiana National teams, while the Marion County surprised and copped two out of three from the City Trust. Hurt of the City Trust, team carried off high honors ,with games of 179, 234 and 196 for a total of 609. Sixteen games went over the 200 mark, the 236 of Jones of the American Central being on top.

(Iff the BACKBOARD

j UUDUE hud u hard time with I I Northwestern on Wednesday L_J night. Wilcox was out of the Purdue line up. But we believe any team in the Conference would have trouble with Northwestern at tills stage of the race. The Wildcats haven't many more games to play. They have not won a Big Ten content this season, and, like ar.y other team would be in their shoes, are fighting desperately to chalk up a "win.” And that is what makes basketball a great game. One never can tell when the underdog is going to spring a surprise and topple over the king pin. Technical is tiie team the majority of Indianapolis fans are picking to win the local sectional tournament. And should Technical come to the State finals, and we believe they will, some mighty good State quintets are

At the regional—great, and at the State—red hotl Things ought to be humming tlown Franklin way tonight. Butler is liable to step into something hot. Franklin plays good hull, as a rule, on Its home floor, and Is very llkeliv to give the Bulldogs a mighty lougli evening. Michigan will play at Illinois Friday night. We'll take Michigan. And Indiana pluys Wisconsin Saturday. That should be another "hot” buttle. The Crimson probably will have orders to watch Be hr and Andrews, Badger sharpshooters. Hold those two down and Wisconsin's chances will be lessened. And of course Indiana won't let Tenhopen take too many shots from far out on the floor. His habit of dropping them through from long range Is quite exasperating at limes —to opponents. The Sfale amateur Independent tournament started today at Tomlinson Hall.
