Looking ’Em Over WITH EDDIE ASH

IF the Stove League was running short of fuel it’s a stuffed stove now. The Hornsby transaction has taken the fans by the ears. Rumors of dynamite below the surface are expected to peter out and be replaced by the facts. Rogers is said to have gained the ill will of other Giant players and also to have caused John McGraw some concern. The veteran New York pilot thinks too much of that job to have an ambitious, aggressive individual of the Hornsby type on the same lot with him. John is of the jealous type. Os course a better deal could have been made for Rogers, but the Braves and Giants have figured in some surprise deals before. And then again, other managers, like McGraw, fear Hornsby’s presence. The star batsman get hooked up with race track gambling and is said to have taken a run-out powder when caught in the switches. At least that’s sportdom's view of it. New York frowns on individuals who bet and don’t pay off when they lose. And the Giant club bosses probably feared Rogers w’ould be made the target for much blasting from the bleachers the coming season. He’s a great ball player, but his “code” of living does not click with the big town boys. Players Hogan and Welch certainly are entitled to swell up. New York gave Rogers Ilornsby for them! Hogan was anew man in the big show only last season. Three cheers for Hogan and Welch regardless of Hornsby. They have escaped from the lowly Braves. Jack Slattery, new Bean town manager, no doubt is pinching himself occassionally wondering if he’s dreaming. Santa Claus played Jack a return engagement and dropped a .360 slugger in on his head. Old Santa doesn’t usually do much else for Boston managers than pass by and toss a few old shoes down their chimney. Jack Sharkey and Tom Heeney tonight. The former is a big favorite, so watch your step on betting. Jack hasn’t done his customary amount of boasting. On past form it stacks up as a Sharkey victory, but not all of Tex Rickard’s promotions are decided on past form.

Walters, formerly of Kokomo, Is starring with the Northwestern University basket squad. Tommy Wame, Kokomo’s pole vault wizard, also is enrolled at Northwestern, where he is expected to shine on the indoor and outdoor track teams. How come these lads escaped Hoosier institutions? American Olympic officials are having a hard time getting together a hockey six to enter in the coming games. Asa result, the United States Is likely to go unrepresented in his phase of the Olpmyics. Dr. Caswell C. Mayo, digging around for an old liniment formula, discovered this one. which, he reports to the American Druggist, really was used by American boxers back in the ’6os: "Whisky, l pint! vinegar, 1 pint; horseradish. .rock salt, and the Juice of five lemons.” "Any fighter using that,” comments Dr. Mayo, ought to lick Tunney and Dempsey single handed, and then look around for a couple of opponents.”

THE problem of whether Technical shall, or shall not, establish fiself as the Indianapolis public high school champion has been referred to the basketballing students of Emmerich Manual Training High School. A glance at the season records of both teams, who, by the way, meet at Armory Saturday night, would make even the most optimistic Manual cheer leader shudder. Technical, with victories over Shortridge and Broad

Ripple has only to overcome to annex the city crown. The world of sport, ' however, revolves with a pc- ! culiar motion and the overturning of the prognosticating critics is a common pastime. Manual, it will be admitted, has performed in some games this season in a manner that can be decribed only as “terrible.” Again, Manual has snapped out of it and displayed symptoms of real form. Technical lias played cleverly and steadily all year and the true power of the Green and White is evident to most fans. M M M THE Arsenalites are the favorites to the basketball public, and wc think the Techites should win. But, that is neither here nor there and the south siders may take extreme pleasure in smearing their east-side rivals all over the Armory court. It lias been done in previous years and it is by no means impossible this year. Manual this week probably is chanting the school motto of “We can, we must, we will!” M M M IIOP RIGHT IN! OFF The Backboard is announc- ' ing a contest and inviting the entire horde of basketball fans in the State to compete. The contest is the naming of the athletic teams of the new Washington High School of Indianapolis. The need of this nickname is to distinguish the locals from the Hatchets of Washington, Ind. The Boss this morning suggested a few names such as Cherries, Cherubs and Huskies. Send yours in and the person submitting the winning name will receive two tickets to a future Butler College home basketball contest. Shoot ’em in and we’ll take ’em Off The Backboard.

Odds 2 to 1 on Bostonian; Bout Scheduled to Go 12 Rounds. NEW ZEALANDER TOUGH Rugged, Two-Fisted Puncher Is Dangerous. By FRANK GETTY, United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Jan. 13.—With a chance at Gene Tunney’s heavyweight title awaiting him if he wins, Jack Sharkey of Boston will meet Tom Heeney, a rugged oak from Gisborne, New Zealand, in a scheduled twelve-round bout at Madison Square Garden tonight. The ex-gob is an overwhelming favorite to win. The odds are 2 to 1 on Sharkey and from what you read and hear Tom Heeney is without a chance. Sharkey had his big chance once before and failed. The Lithuanian went out to beat up Jack Dempsey at Yankee Stadium last summer, instead of trying to box him as he was told. He was knocked out. Fair or foul—Sharkey went down in a heap protesting Dempsey's low punches, but the Bostonian has done nothing since to convince the public he is the first-class fighter. An injury to Sharkey’s left hand, doubt over his physical condition and his secret methods of training for the bout have only served to aid his cause. Sharkey isn't facing any set-up tonight. Heeney was once a blacksmith an he’s just as tough as they come. He’s never been knocked out. and he’s only been off his feet a few times. He’s not much on skill, boxing, ring craft and that sort of thing, but once in the ring he’ll be swinging two heavily-loaded fists every minute. Thriller Looms at S. S. T. Gym Michigan Central basket team of Detroit, carded here Sunday afternoon with the Turners at the south side gym, boast of two titles. The Centrals won the railroad title of the Michigan section and the independent championship of the Wolverine State. Chicago Bruins, Buffalo Lincolns and Detroit Cardinals have fallen before the Centrals. The Indianapolis Turners have been setting a similar fast pace and the Sunday afternoon contest is expected to be a thriller. Strauss Says team and Bridgeport Cardinals will battle in a prelim fray.
