'WITH EDDIE ASH

ONE of the big league veterans, Outfielder George Harper, has had a peculiar career. He’s had the pleasure of being with front runners

and tagging along with hopeless outfits. John McGraw once rescued him from the Phillies, but later on Harper was transferred from Giants to Cardinals. Now George is back with a comical brigade, namely the Braves. Years ago, when in the American League, Harper drew a big laugh in baseball

Harper

when he was handcuffed in the outfield by a Babe Ruth swat, and though the incident aroused smiles, it also served to draw attention to Ruth’s great power. Babe was a pitcher then and little known as a slugger, and Harper was playing him near the right field foul line when Ruth shot a liner out that way. George waltzed up to the pellet to make what seemed an ordinary catch. The ball struck, George's hands were snapped apart and he went back on his heels. n # # Handcuffed in the outfield! A joke that day, but the Harper incident helped “discover” Babe Ruth and turn him from a pitcher to an outfielder and home run records. tt tt tt AFTER YEARS OF HEATED DISCUSSION THE DEFINITION OF AN AMATEUR HAS BEEN AGREED UPON AND FEW WILL DISPUTE THE OUTCOME OF THE LONG INVESTIGATION AND DELIBERATION. AN AMATEUR IS A GUY WHO WON’T TAKE IT BY CHECK. tt tt tt A FEW days ago a Chicago paper used a column panning a Windy City promoter for daring to ask the public to spend money to see a match between Joey Sangor, prominent Milwaukee junior lightweight, and Armando Santiago, Cuban. “Set-up for Sangor, terrible,” yelped the newspaper. With the betting 3 to 1 against him, Santiago flattened Sangor in the second round. Knocked him stiff! a a It’s so seldom a boxing promoter gets the laugh these days, friends of the Chicago man fear j he’ll crack his appendix guffaw- | ing over his good luck.

Cathedral Meets Shortridge Friday; Ripple to Oppose Washington, TECH-MANUAL SATURDAY Much Enthusiasm Among Local Schools. Rivalry action galore will feature this week-end’s city high school basketball program. Three games are on the books, each involving a pair of city teams. Washington and Broad Ripple clash Friday night at the Washington gym, Shortridge and Cathedral tangle Friday night at the Irish court and Manual opposes the powerful Technical outfit at the Armory Saturday night. Washington and Broad Ripple appear to be evenly matched and a lot of enthusiasm has been stirred up at both west side and rorth side schools. The 1928 sectional champions are going through strenuous drills while the snappy Continental squad also is hard at work for the fray. The Cathedral and Shortridge battle is attracting even more attention. Many flaws occurred in Cathedral’s opening game and last year’s state Catholic high school champs are pointed for the tilt with the Shortridgers. Technical is a top-heavy favorite to defeat Manual Saturday, but nevertheless Manual rooters are hopeful and a large crowd probably will witness the tilt at the Armory. Crispus Attucks, local Negro high school, will meet the Connersville Reserves Saturday night at the Attucks gym.
