Less Money for Veteran, ‘Griff* Says Speaker Must Stand Cut in Salary to Stay on Club. By United Press TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 24.—Clark Griffith declined today to elaborate on a statement made on his arrival here that Tris Speaker must accept a “voluntary” salary cut if he wants to play center field for the Senators in 1928. Griffith mentioned a recruit, named West, as a possible successor to the “gray eagle” unless Speaker made ‘ a proposition to slice his own salary.” The president of the Washington club is here to prepare for spring training of his team. The pitchers are expected in a month. xftlS IT EASY Py United Press GEORGETOWN, S. C., Jan. 24. Tris Speaker was expected here today for a few weeks of duck shooting. AT TURNERS SUNDAY Two Feature Net Games at South Side Court. Two feature basket tilts will be staged at the Turner Hall Sunday afternoon.

U. champions and the visitors will make a strong bid to gain the title. NOT IN INDOOR MEETS One of the best sprinters in the East is out of the indoor meets this season because of a strained leg tendon. A1 Miller, of Harvard, is the victim. MAY KEEP THIS UP If a good start means a good ending, watch Henri Cochet in tennis this year. He won the first tournament of the new year in France.

New Yank Has Pay Dirt Bn NBA Service NEW YORK, Jan. 24. Young Jimmy Reese, who recently was bought by the New York Yankees, is not entirely dependent on baseball for a living. Reese, just turned 20, is reputed to be worth close to $60,000 from investments made in Hollywood real estate. When he was selling papers on the San Pedro waterfront, Reese was saving his nickels and dimes. And when he got older, he began investing.

-OFF the BACKBOARDiU By NORMAN E. ISAACS

ALONG about 7:30 this evening Hoosierdom’s two exponents of faster and classter basketball, as practiced by the members of the Western Conference, will line up against each other for the glare duel preliminary to the initial tip-off. The gentlemen who represent Purdue University are slight favorites to down their traditional rivals who flaunt the Cream and Crimson of old Indiana. One of the features of

tonight's battle certainly will be the individual engagement between Monrovia’s Branch (Ace) McCracken, Indiana pivot man and leading scorer in the Big Ten, and Marion’s Charles (Stretch) Murphy, who has been handling the center position for the Boilermakers with all the ability he can muster in his six foot six inch frame. Off The Backboard will make his claily guess by picking Purlue. The whistle footers in the contest tonight will be Kearns of De Paul and Moloney of Notre Dame. nun SATURDAY night we sat up at the Armory alongside Russell Julius of Shortridge and watched Technical and Frankfort wage a

beautiful defensive battle. There was a lot of delayed offense but none of the objectionable stall. Frankfort’s shifting defense was a sight to see and the Techites’ barrier wasn’t very far behind. Five times during the contest we gazed at

.

Parish

Tim Campbell's young backguard, Benjamin Parish, as he ambled up to the center of the floor, fire away at the hoop and hang up two more points for the Green and White. That youngster is an honest-to-goodness sharpshooter. We’ve seen him do it before. By the way, we have a compliment for Tim Campbell and his boys. The Martinsville Reporter commenting on the TechArtesian City battle said: "Martinsville fans like Tim Campbell—he is a thorough gentleman. And his team reflects that characteristic of their mentor.” We agree. nan One of the best of the season came to this desk the other day. Ralph Edwards, coach at Fowler High School, discovered that six of his net performers had broken training rules. The lads were given the option of handing in their suits or taking a whipping. They chose and Ralph inflicted one-half dozen sound lickings. The loyalty of the boys now is unquestioned.

It is going to be tough on the faint-hearted folks up at Marion along about regional time this year. Incidentally, that’s March 10. For a while, Marion kept losing game after game and the town reached that stage where it didn’t even care whether it had a sectional or not. Then the team bucked up and started playing some neat basketball. That helped out and when tho. Giants knocked off Kokomo last week-end, 22 to 21, the citizenry of Marion got “het up” and started talking “State Finals.” Which isn’t very absurd when one learns that Kokomo and Marion will meet in the Marion regional. How's that? ana The Times’ school editor Monday took exception to our remark that “embryo editors of Indianapolis student publications.. .appeal to the student bodies to support their teams.” The young lady insisted the youthful scholastic quill wieldcrs were very much whole and therefore not embryonic by any means. All right, editors, we apologize. But don’t forget about that lack of student support! a a a THE MAIL TODAY Martinsville. Ind. Dear Backboard- Some Indianapolis fans and papers think that it was the Artesians' first squad that played the Indianapolis Washington High School team. I’d like to say that it was the second team of M. H. S. who beat their first team. The score would undoubtedly been larger had the first team played them. A STUDENT OF M. H. S. a a a Subbing for the champions? a a a Indianapolis. Dear Backboard: I agree with you on your ideas of sportsmanship. Some of these guys will get some sense some time. TVie best way. I think, is to let the officials •sock it to them.' Plaster all the fouls in the world oif the gang for razzing. % J. C. C. a a a ~ Make Christians of ’em, huh? a a a ..“A Tech fan” sent in a complicated little affair attempting to spell out “A Dark Horse” of the entire Green and White squard along with Coach Campbell..

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED By I'nitcd Press NEW LONDON, Conn., Jan. 24. The National Boxing Association accepted the challenge of Jack Delaney of Bridgeport, Conn., formci light-heavyweight champion, to meet Gene Tunney in a heavyweight championship bout. WHY THEY CURTAILED SPORTS The chief reason given by Syracuse athletic authorities for the recent abolishment of several minor sports was that they wished to establish a more elaborate system of intramural sporis.
