Talking it OVER

WITH JOE WILLIAMS NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—The scepter of thrift has reared its prim, efficient noggin above the cauliflowers that bloom and flourish in Tex Rickard’s patch, and the high priced toilers therein are wondering

what next. Practically no significance was attached to the seemingly unimportant appointment of John Chapman as assistant to Rickard in the management of Madison Square Garden late last week. It now develops that this is the beginning of an econ-

Williams

omy movement which may lead to a marked curtailment of the noted promoter’s activities. One of the first things Chapman did after moving into Rickard’s office was to scrutinize the monthly pay roll. Chapman is one of those hardboiled efficiency experts to whom the business of sports means nothing beyond a maximum box office return on a minimum investment. a Rickard was hardly more than half way to Miami, whence he had headed to see James Joseph Tunney on the vital matter of future knuckling, before the new assistant manager had lopped six names off the garden pay roll, including one Frank Flournoy, a Rickard protege. n * ABOUT the Garden premises today a large army of surviving employes were walking with hesitant, timorous tread, for Chapman has made it known that more are to follow and that heads will continue to go plopping hr the official basket until a salary saving of SIOO,OOO is effected. Insiders profess to see in this the ultimate elevation of Chapman to complete domination of the Garden business affairs, with a consequent lessening of authority in monetary matters in the future enterprises sponsored by Rickard. In short, the signs seem to point to a changed procedure all around with Rickard restricting his genius to the artistry of the trade which consists of making the matches and with Chapman handling the sordid details of purses, percentages and general expenditures. nun IT is no secret that certain major stockholders in the Garden have no high regard for Rickard’s business acumen. There have been rumors from time to time that he was to be deposed as the general director. Two months ago he unloaded much of his own stock and it was whispered that he planned to step down. The appointment of Chapman seems to have brought a long smoldering situation to a fiery head. Rickard’s immense guarantees to principals in his heavyweight spectacles have been openly criticised by some of his associates, who complained the resultant profits were inproportionate to the amount invested.

Prelim Card Changed for Legion Show Injuries Force Dillon and Smallwood.to Withdraw From Action. Changes in two of the bouts on Tuesday night’s Legion boxing card at the Armory were made Sunday night by the matchmaker, both coming in the prelims. Joe Dillon, who was carded to box six rounds with Dudley Ring of Cincinnati, was compelled to withdraw on account of an injury received in training, and Ehrman Clark was engaged to fill the vacancy. The other change came in the four-round opener, which originally called for the appearance of Otto Atterson of Terre Haute and Chet Smallwood of Sullivan. Smallwood developed a sore hand and had to forego the match, his place being filled by Ray Van Hook of Terre Haute. Neither Joe Packo nor Red Uhlan, the main event fighters, came to town Sunday, much to the disappointment of a large crowd of the fans which assembled at the PhyCul gym. However, word from their respective managers was that they would pull in today.

"OFF the BACKBOARD

By NORMAN E. ISAACS

r T , 'HIS correspondent undertook a little investigation tour last week around the city and learned several things that do not speak well for the students of Indianapolis high schools. Friday night we meandered up to Short-ridge High School to see the Blue and White netters engage in a contest with the representatives of Tipton High School. Now, Shortridge, so we understand, has a student population of some 2,400. We estimated the crowd at 250. Take the benefit of the doubt and say 300 were present. Os that number approximately fifty had come from Tipton to root for the classy aggregation of that school. We will say that 1,000 Shortridgers were spending a quiet evening at home and that 500 more were unable to attend because of other business. Now, where were the remaining 700 Shortridgers? Splendid support, is it not? a st a From what we can see, the only time Indianapolis high schoolers turn out to support their teams is at city series games, tournament time and when one of the State’s big-time teams invade the city. And during the remaining portion of the season local high school officials struggle along, patting themselves on the backs when expenses are made. a a a SATURDAY night Technical and Frankfort staged a great battle at the Armory, and a fine-sized crowd witnessed the game. Frankfort fans in the city for the game thought the crowd was just so-so.

Tuesday night. Buddies, ~‘ty 125-pound champs for the last two years, opposed the woodsldes in the final game for the city title each time. College Cub Juniors defeated the Phi Delts, 38 to 9. Martin was the individual star of the game, with a total of 18 points. The Cubs also defeated the Howdy Club, 25 to 21. For games with the Cubs call Hemlock 1291.

Crimson Netters in Light Workout for Boilermaker Tilt. SQUADS AMONG BEST Both Teams Highly Regarded in Big Ten. ♦ The State rivalry battle Tuesday night will be broadcast over WBAA (1.100-275), the Purdue University radio station, starting at 7:30. By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 23.—Indiana University basketball players were to take things rather easy in practice this afternoon for the game with Purdue Tuesday night at Lafayette. Iloosier basketball followers will watch the Tuesday result with keen interest. The rival State quintets did not meet last season due to the roundrobin schedule adopted by the Big Ten. although both finished in a tie for second place. Purdue’s starting line-up. which usually is composed of Wheeler and Harmeson, forwards; Murphy, center, and Schnaiter and Kemmer, guards, will possess plenty of basket shooting power. The Indiana starting line-up will be either Beckner or Strickland at one forward with Wells at the other. “Ace” McCracken will do the pivoting while Correll and either Scheld or Gill will be at guards. FIT AND READY Lambert Pronounces Lafayette Club Set for Rivalry Clash. By J'i mes Spcri/il LAFAYETTE. Ind., Jan. 23. Ward Lambert, Purdue coach, today pronounced his Boilermakers fit and ready for their clash here Tuesday night with the powerful Indiana University aggregation. Lambert has a number of veteran stars on his squad, and although he probably will use Harmeson, Murphy and Schnaiter, all sophomores, he may insert Cummins, a veteran, into the line-up. Cummins, last year’s high scorer in the Big Ten, has played but little this season. The other regulars are Wheeler and Kemmer. veterans.

Beech Grove was a twelfth entry, but a suspension by the I. H. S. A. A. barred the club from competing. In the final game Southport’s defense proved the telling factor.
