Playing the Field ■ r '““With Billy Evans —OUTHPAW PRUETT is back in a major league. To re- ..... - fresh your memory, Herb Pruett is a pitcher, -who, about live years back, was big sports copy

because of the ease with which he fanned Babe Ruth. Picked up by the Browns, fresh from Che University of Missouri, I'ruett struck Ruth out the very first time the Bambino faced him. He to do it as long as he stuck in the

American League. There are some experts who insist that Pruett was carried largely because of his ability to beat New York and his habit of striking out Babe Ruth in the pinches. During the 1922 season, any time Ruth was up against the Browns in a pine, it was not at all uncommon to see Pruett rush from the bench to the box, often without even a chance to warm up. One year Ruth faced Pruett about seventeen times and struck out something like fifteen. I think he made one hit off his 'delivery, a home run. NOW WITH PHILLIES r~*~| RUETT comes back to the I p I majors as a member of the | * 1 Philadelphia Nationals. When the St. Louis Browns finally decided that he was too light of stature to stand the strain of major league pitching, it was no trouble to waive him out of the league. Sent to the Pacific coast, he pitched with more than ordinary success and last fall no less than eight major league clubs put in a bid for his services. As is customary in such cases, the club lowest in standing gets first choice, so he was awarded to Philadelphia. Several clubs with pennant chances sought his services by the draft, so going to the Phillies is none too good a break for Pruett. FOUND BY CHANCE B'"— I ALL 'playt rs often are discovered in unusual places and under unusual circumstances. Pruett's into the American League comes under that heading. Scout Pat Monahan of the St. Louis Browns had been tipped off as to the ability of a youngster playing shortstop for an independent team in Missouri. When the game was over Monahan passed up the shortstop, but signed Pruett. He had an awful time getting Jimmy Bifrke, then managing the club, to give him a uniform. He looked more like the score-card boy than a ball player. Pruett's ace-in-the-hole was a fadeway, much like the one Mathewson used, but delivered with the left hand. It is a hard ball on the arm and he persisted in using it a great deal. No doubt that explains the many times he w r ould weaken late in the game. In the Cqfist League they tell me he used the fadeaw'ay as a threat and developed a pretty good fast ball. Reliable scouts say he will stick this time.

Off the BACKBOARD

f ”'l HE Michigan-PurduiFgame at j I Ann Arbor tonight is the I' I “big game” of the Big Ten net race. A championship depends on that game from all dope indications, and although it has not received an exceptional amount of ballyhoo, it wouldn’t be a bad guess to surmise the Yost field house will be jammed tonight. Although Michigan is the stronger team on paper, we are going to take a chance and take Purdue to win. Ward Lambert, in our opinion, is the smartest court mentor in the Conference, and if his team has a chance it will win. Wisconsin will bo at Illinois tonight. We’ll take the Illini. We got lucky on our Saturday Big Ten picks (so Eddie insinuates, at ai y rate). AH three won and boosted our batting aterage to .739. Indiana’s 31-23 victory over AVis consin Saturday night was all the more brilliant because Death’s team was handicapped in the first half without getting the tip-off. Art Beckner was in the center circle jumping (part of the time) against the tall Kowalcbyk. The Badgers had the tip taken away from them repeatedly by alert Crimson forwards. Correll filled the shoes of Jack Winston at backguard in great style. T’ne Badgers lost no time in discovering that trying to work the ball under the basket was almost useless. Correll was right there holding his ground and lighting like a demon.

The Crimson usgfl a little strategy in the final Ua-lf to out-smart the Badgers. The delayed offense came into use and Correll and Wells staged a little warming-up practice in the back court. The Wisconsin outfit hurriedly came down the floor five-strong to break it up. Indiana forwards had a pleasing little habit of slipping down the floor, unseen, to snag long passes and toss in the field goals unmolested. ENDIAN APOLIS net fans are regarding the local sectional tourney with some degree of interest notwithstanding the fact Tech is an overwhelming favorite to take the honors. Although theEast Side quintet has the classiest array of individual stars and smootherworking plays than any other club in the meet, the sailing will be rough. Every club the Arsenalitesface will be fighting twice as hard to knock off the favorites. Manual gets the good break (?) and draws Tech aa its first round opponent. The Red and White no doubt will be scrapping. The best bet for the final contestants Is Technical In the upper bracket and the winner of the Shortridge-Warren Central, fray in the lower bracket.'' Bloomington is all “bet up” this week. The Panthers will meet Martinsville in the Bloomington sectional and hopes arc running high down South that the Artesian City five will meet up with something a bit too tough. That game is liable to be a real battle. The Panthers will be playing for over their heads and the Curtis-coached team will find it necessary to uncover its best in order to dispose of the Panthers. Bedford also has something to worry about in it sectional. Mitchell Blue Jackets will be right there contesting the right of the Stone City crew as sectional champs. The East Chicago sectional is going to be one of those “hot-stepping” affairs. Froebel, Emerson, Hammond and Whiting all are in the meet. The annual chant of the referee — “Hello—Hello, Eddie? This is Brainstorm —yes—say, wheie’m I assigned in the sectionals —Podunk?—Yeh — Who do I work with?—What? That

Frankfort squeezed out a 25-23 victory and went through to the State championship. There were two boys on the Froebel outfit who had the crowd up on its feet cheering wildly. One was little Sammy Polizotto and the other Smith, giant Negro center. Smith is gone, but Sammy Still Is with the Froebel outfit. We understand a local high Bchool publication has selected Bedford to win the State meet. It takes a lot of nerve to do that after the final drawings have been made, doesn’t jt.

City Bowling Gossip

•By Lefty Lee-

The Alley Owners’ Classic is now an event of the past, and the interest and sportsmanship of the meet ranks it as one of the most successful events ever staged in this city. Eddie Horeberger has been returned the winner, and has received the medal which proclaims him the city champion. His total of 4,887 pins for twenty-four games across fortyeight alleys certainly was great bowling and this column wishes to congradulate him. , Freddie Moulds made a great attempt to overhaul Eddie, but a poor first game was too much of a handicap for him to overcome. Freddie finished second with 4,85i. In third place we find Al Striebeck who, after beirjg all but out, staged a wonderful spurt in the last four weeks and brought his total up to 4,809. “Nan” Schott was another entry who was down in the fiyst half of the meet, but came along in great shape at the finish and secured a count of 4,799, to reach fourth place. Larry Fox, with a total of 4,786, was fifth. Eddie Harkenrider was next with 4,765. Charlie Cray, veteran of veterans, reached seventh place with a count of 4,749. Wiesman had 4,745; Dick Nordholt, 4,718, and Fred Schleiiner, with a winning finish, landed in tenth place, having 4,710. Frank Hueber finished just outside the money with 4,709. Fred Schlelmer, with a score of 279 in his second game Sunday, won high game prize for the meet, nosjng Larry Fox one pin. In Sunday’s event the lowest total scores of the meet prevailed, Fred Schlelmer winning with a count of 812. Al Striebeck was next with 809. Orvill AA’oodard had 806; “Bill” I Bowen, 803; F. Snyder, 793: J. Xaughton, 791: F. AVestover, 786, and E. Harkenrider, 786. 'The Beans Recreation Five, women’s team, has issued a challenge to any organized women's team of Indianapolis. The team they prefer to shoot are the Silver Flash or A. C. Bradley girls. They wish to make the match a six game total pin to count home and home meet. In the “3 o’clock league” game at the Ellis Club, “Fay” Bailey sent the boys home talking to themselves with a count of 283. After securing ten in a row “Fay” failed to get up and secured a washout. As Bailey puts it, however, he had enough pins. “Woody” Woodard is holding high single practice game for the month of February at the Capitol alleys, with a count of 278. This wins “Woody” the Em-Roe bowling shoes. The Silver Flash girls defeated Siegel’s girls team of Terre Haute, on the Elk Club alleys, Sunday, by a score of 2.544 to 2,349. Tho Flash girls started with a great 922 game and were never headed. Meeker and Johns were the heavy wood getters for the local girls. Meeker getting 543 and her teammate 535. Lyons, after a start of 127, came back with games of 203 and 221, for a total of 551, In an attempt to stave off defeat. Her 221 game was high for the match. GOPHERS VS.
