Hagenlacher scored the record high ran of the tournament Thursday night in defeating Jake Schaefer, 400 to 361. He picked off 207 to take the lead early to the Match and, although he slowed up considerably in the closing innings, he never again was headed.

Notre Dame Five Set for Clash With Pittsburgh on Saturday Record Crowd to Witness Hardwood Fracas at South Benders’ Home Court.

PROBABLE LINEUPS PITTSBURGH NOTRE DAME Hyatt F Crowe (c) Zehfuss F Jachym fc) L. Cohen C Colrlck Wunderlich (c)....G Donovan Baker G Smith li v United Press NOTRE DAME, Ind., Feb. B—A basketball classic is in store for some 6,000 fans who will sit in Notre Dame gymnasium Saturday night to see Charley Hyatt and his effective Pittsburgh basketball team attempt another victory over the Notre Dame five. Just a year ago, the two teams met in Pittsburgh in a game billed as a crucial test. Notre Dame lost that game by only two points, 24 to 22, and the thought has stuck with the Irish all these months. If revenge is to be had, the Irish will get it Saturday night before the biggest home crowd the gym has ever held. Coach George Keogan of Notre Dame has made no definite statement about the game, for the realizes just how difficult it is to break up a smooth offense and brilliant

for New Orleans, and Jonah Goldman, who hit .270 for Decatur, will fight it out for shortstop. The Buckeyes, still are searching for someone to take the place of Tris Speaker. They hope Dick Porter, purchased from Baltimore, will be able to plug the centerfield gap. Charley Jamieson again will play left, but right will have anew gardener, probably Earl Averill, the $50,000 rookie from San Francisco. Charley Dorman, who hit .408 for the Tyler (Tex.) Lone Star League club; John Gill, who hit .311 for the Decatur 'three-I League club: and Ollie Tucker, who batted .321 for New Orleans, are other outfield candidates. Ed Morgan, who suffered from injuries last season but batted .313 in seventy-six games, also will try for an outfield berth. Among the new hurlers are several with exceptional promise. Three of the most prominent are Clint Brown, who won 23 and lost 8 for the Harrisburg (Pa.) club; Wesley Farrell, who won 18 and lost 9 for Terre Ha’’* and Harold McKain, who won 18 and lost 6 for Decatur. Another youngster who may make the grade is Jimmy Moore of Little Rock. Kenneth Holloway, acquired along wiyi Tavener from the Tigers, may show better in his new surroundings. The holdover pitchers are Shaute, Hudlin, Miller, Grant and Miljus. Luke Sewell, Martin Autry and Glenn Myatt will again compose the catching staff.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Ticket Orders Put Carey and Dempsey in the Clear. ARENA IS NEAR FINISH Flamingo Park Stadium Ready Next Tuesday. BY FRANK GETTY, United Press Sports Editor MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 8 Shortly before sunrise today, W. F. Carey, millionaire railroad builder and promoter of the Sharkey-Strib-ling fight, laid down some papers he had beA inspecting, took off his glasses and said happily, “Well boys, the fight is in.” The scene was laid in the kitchen of a magnificent residence on the ocean front which Carey has taken as his headquarters. Carey’s companions were Joe Boylton and Benny Bennett, the crack box office men from Madison Square Garden, who had just laid before him the figures showing the receipts for the previous day—sl7,ooo, and the total orders for seats, $200,000. ‘We’II Make Money’ “When I was up in Boston trying to get Sharkey to take a smaller guarantee I was ready to take a heavy loss on this proposition to put over the fight,” Carey then confessed. “Tex Rickard had started it, and we were going through with it. Now, we are going to make money.” Carey and Jack Dempsey are congratulating themselves today the fight now will gross more than $300,000, which will leave them in the clear, something neither expected when the project was undertaken following the death of Rickard. • Plan 43,000 Seats When the big arena in Flamingo park is virtually completed by next Tuesday, 43,000 seats will have been finished, and after that it will simply be a matter of how many more people want to come, for the arena is decidedly elastic. Not all the natives who have been paying it admiring visits realize quite how elastic it is. The eheaper seats have been built on sloping wooden stands, which for the builders 1 purposes, now are close up to the spot on which the ring will be situated. The sloping stands are to be moved back before the arena is definitely finished, to allow for some thirty or more rows of ringside seats. Those optimistic Miamians are likely to be, backed up close to Biscayne Bay by fight night, if the hopes of Carey and Dempsey are realized.

NARRATIONS OF A MASCOT

u tt tt st a Connolly’s Batting Stance Impressive as He Lifts Chin; Trainer Pierce, Razz Artist, Seldom Fails * to Get Results, Mostly Humorous.

BY JIMMY CAFOUROS, Indianapolis Mascot, 1928 BUD CONNOLLY, second sacker for the pennant-winning Indians, is a you all know and admire. He is just the type that appeals to everyone. He has a singular little trait when he bats and you may have noticed it. It is the way he tilts his chin. When at the plate

Bud’s chin is lifted and raised straight out as if in defiance of the pitcher. And Connolly got hits in the pinch during several “pennant important” games last year. He’s a never - give - up type.

Clubhouse Luncheons 4 Ball players are regular in their meals, but even so, they enjoy a light repast occasionally in the clubhouse—sandwiches, pop, milk or coffee. And pie, too! There is no limit to the witty remarks made by Trainer Jim Pierce. His favorite expression and one he offers at an opportune moment with great effect is: “Stay up! You might get a draw'.” And to me, he is the best razzer on earth—bar none. A ball player tries to appear deaf to razzing, and usually succeeds, but not when Pierce is “in form.” His well-direct-ed and pointed sayings haraly ever fail to get results. He is particularly keen when razzing players on enemy clubs and many pastimers in the

league often ask Jim to have “mercy.” And with our own players he seldom misses an opportunity to get a smile. He greets the stars in the clubhouse with expressions like “Big and Strong,” or “Here comes the Great Yde,” or the “Great Russell.” Many players, when oh trie road, seek amusement to while away the hours when they are not on the field. It gets very tiresome for some to loaf, but others I have seen sit in a hotel lobby chair for an hour at a stretch—not saying a word, hardly moving. They have trained themselves to “lobby lounge” and do not mind it. Theaters get a “play” from many and a few even still fill out the old cross-word puzzles. But not in Rochester, during the ‘“little world’s series” games—they were too busy planning to beat the Red Wings and taking in the sights. How I got to Rochester is another story, but my stay there was one glorious outing Due to certain circumstances, the club was not in a position to take me, and I hitchhiked. And everything was lovely after I arrived—free slumber and free food—the players saw to that. The first night I bunked in the room occupied by Vern Blenkiron and John Riddle on the thirteenth ffoor of the Seneca hotel. The second night I spent in the room of Haney and Leverett, the third night with Shorty Burch and a Mr. Sprague of Indianapolis and the next two nights I occupied Dick Burrus’ room.

SUFFERINGS OF 12 YEARS ENDED BY NEW KONJOLA Intense Distress From Stomach and Kidney Troubles Completely Conquered by Herbal Medicine. Konjola is not a medicine of promises, a medicine that makes wild claims or works on unstaple theories. It has been proven that it is a compound of accomplishments, one that does all that is claimed for it. Containing 32 ingredients, 22 of which are the juices

from roots and herbs, Konjola ia a medicine ■wholesome and pureone that Nature herself would rec-. ommend. There are no heart de- 1 pressants, nerve dt-adening drugs, j alcohol or narcotics in this com-: pound. It is being explained every day to large crowds of people by the Konjola Man who is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city. Among the people who call on him are those who have already been benefited. Take, for instance, the case of Mrs. Ethel Johnson, R. R. No. 4, Box 330 E, Indianapolis, who made the following remarkable statement: "To think that twelve years of suffering was ended by a single medicine sounds almost unbelievable, but when you realize the unusual merits of Konjola—that Is a different matter,” said Mrs. Johnson, “and that is exactly what Konjola has done for me. “Three ailments caused me Intense distress at all times. They were stomach, liver and kidney troubles. I really don’t know where to begin to tell you about them, and since I have been so wonderfully relieved I hate to think about all the suffering I went through. Night rising to the extent of seven or eight times was a certainty every time I went to bed. But that frequent action of my bladder did not only take place during the night—but in daytime as well. It became a harrowing experience to leave the house. I never knew when a spell might come on. Meals were no pleasure. Food never digested right and always brought on some sort of misery. Doctoring and taking medicines failed to relieve my sickness. I was discouraged, tired, worn-out and rundown. I got to the point where I really did not rare what became of me and there was no enjoyment in life. “Yet I could not avoid the fact that Konjola has certainly produced some amazing restorations to health In Indianapolis, let alone the entire state of Indiana. Wondering If it would do anything for me and without a great deal of hope I began the treatment. Do you think you could ever understand the surprise and pleasure that awaited and greeted me when I started the treatment? Without ahy loss of time Konjola went right to the source of my troubles. It regulated the organs and system. A warm glow of health permeated throughout my body. My stomach regained a normal and healthy condition before I hardly knew what was taking place. My kidneys were next to be worked upon and soon they were strengthened so that sound and refreshing sleep was mine for the first time in twelve years. Six bottles of Konjola did me more good than all inedicines put together. What can I say to praise Konjola, what words are expressive enough? My advice to all sufferers is to give Konjola a triaL I am talking from experience.” The Konjola Man is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, where he is meeting the public daily, introducing and explaining the merits of this medicine. Konjola is sold at all Hook stores in Indianapolis and vicinity.—Advertisement.
