Stove League Chatter BY EDDIE ASH

SOME fans think it strange the Phillies took on Grover Alexander for next season owing to the fact he finished "out of the league" in 1929, having been sent home by the Cardinals when he broke training rules, and couldn’t win. But Manager Shotton figures he can coax Alex to get in shape and save some of the games the Phils are in the habit of losing in the late innings after piling up four and five-run leads. a a tt You never can tell about Grover —he’s liable at any time to get in form over night and go out the next afternoon and baffle opponents with the old noodle. And Shotton is gambing the veteran will bear down for one more w hirl. The Phil boss made a good deal at that, for he gave up something he couldn t use. a tt tt •war then Alexander was in his W prime and propelling the sphere ior the Quakers years ago he was the real master. He made history, winning more than thirty games in each of the seasons of 1915, 1916 and 1917. a tt tt All the current Phillies need is a little more and better pitching and they’ll make some noise as pennant contenders, for their fielding is good and their batting devastating. a a tt Cincinnati home games won’t be on the air next season and many Hoosier fans will miss tuning in on V/EW to hear the details of National League battles at Redland field. Cincy directors have decided they have been putting out too much free entertainment. tt tt tt National league umpires have been given pormiss on to accept spring training jobs in the southland next year and some of the gucsscrs are lining up assignments to get a pre-season coat of tan. a tt a ■w yroE BERG.

At a meeting in Indianapolis several weeks ago Wylie was re-elected president, it was announced, but it seems the magnates or Wylie had a change of mind since that time.

Many Dramatic Episodes Crowded Into Sport Calendar of 1929

BY FRANK GETTY Volte* Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. Dec. 16.—Save for one more good football game (Army-Stanford), a few desultory fights and the inevitable conferences and conventions, the sport year of 1929 is at an end. Looking backward, one recalls dramatic episodes in the world of sport during the year, with the death of Tex Rickard at the very outset the most moving and the most far-reaching event of the twelve-month. Riegel's Opens Season The sport year began auspiciously with Roy Riegel’s surprising seven-ty-yard run the wrong way and

and Caskey graduated last spring. Butler has scheduled Evansville college for a game Feb. 1, but will attempt to change the date and schedule an eastern quintet in order to attend the banquet, Ralph Hitch, graduate manager, announced. Indiana also may be awarded another national crown. Notre Dame is one of the outstanding favorites for the grid 1929 championship, the Veteran Athletes’ Association committee holding up its decision until after the PittsburghSouthern California game New Year’s day.

more floor guard, led the Boilermakers. The Terre Haute Normal-Indiana “B” game scheduled for the “Hut” tonight has been postponed on account of the death in the family of Coach Wally Marks. A brother of the Normal basket mentor was killed in a hunting accident Saturday afternoon. The postponed contest will be played Jan. 14. Two games will be played tonight. Wabash will open its 1929-30 campaign, entertaining Ball college. N. D. vs. Northwestern Danville Normal, with victories over Vincennes, Oakland City and Franklin, will journey north to battle Valparaiso. The Danville quintet has been hitting a fast pace and are favored to annex their fourth victory tonight. Coach Harry Good’s Indiana Central five, with one victory and a defeat by Muncie, invades Franklin Tuesday. Franklin is not as strong as in former years, but a real battle is in prospect when the rivals clash. De Pauw meets Earlham, defeated by Miami, Wednesday, and four games are on the card for Thursday. State Normal tackles Vincennes, Notre Dame will meet its hardest test to date, taking on Rut Walter, former Kokomo star, and his Northwestern Wildcats at South Bend. No Games Friday Wabash and Danville Normal renew their rivalry at Crawfordsville Thursday, while the Cardinals from Muncie invade Franklin. No games are on the schedule for Friday. Coach Everett Dean will take his twice-defeated Hoosiera to Philadelphia Saturday to meet the eastern champions, University of Pennsylvania.

School in Row Over Coach

WABASH. Ind., Dec. 16. Charges of insubordination have been filed against Earl Himes, basketball coach of the Chippewa high school, by Howard Williams, principal.

2E BACKBOARD 1 ML by VERN BOXELL

'T'HE Murphy championship of 1 the middle west will be settled at West Lafayette, Ind., Jan. 30. Murphy isn’t anew game in itself, but in this instance, it’s a very big part of basketball. When Purdue meets Loyola of Chicago, no matter who wins, Murphy probably will be the star for the victors. It will be a battle of the Murphy’s—even more, a battle of the Charles Murphys. These two namesakes, rated as a pair of the greatest players in collegiate ranks, are centers on the Purdue and Loyola teams. Furthermore they are both captains. There has been consider - i able discussion on the respective merits of the two Charles Murphys —not even remotely related to each other. The Purdue Murphy was a unanimous all-Conference choice, and the Loyola Murphy has been placed on many all western teams. The Loyola Charley has been the mainstay on a team that has been unbeaten since Butler dropped them late in the season of 1927-23, while the Purdue Charley has been high scorer and star on Boilermaker quintets that have finished first and second in the Big Ten for two i years. Loyola's “Stretch" is six feet, four inches tall, and Purdue's “Stretch" stands six feet, six inches It should be a real battle, and an ideal chance for some radio announcer to go crazy trying to keep his unseen audience straight on which Murphy is which. The crushing 48-to-2t victory of the oft-defeated Muncle Bearcats over Tim Campbell’s Tech team is history. Bob Barnet, the Mancie scribe, waxed eloquent In his dissertation on the game. Here are tome of the choice morsels; “Jolly’s athletes demonstrated that they have a team which will equal any aggregation put out by Muncle in the past few years. Campbell’s boys played good basketball and even in the most hectic moments of the game, they failed to become excited and erratic. They played a slow, deliberate type of basketball, holding the ball and waiting for an opening. The Campbells were simply unable to cope with the battering-ram oilensc of the Bearcats which was aided by an air-tight defense. The Cats roared up and down the floor, snapping passes all over the court. The Tech players fought to the final moment.’’ Indianapolis. Dear Backboard—l notice in The Times I have been scored roundly by readers of your column for some of my statements. May I say to my critics that I was educated in basketball in true Indiana style and have very decided opinions. I wonder what these very clever little high school students of today would say should I make the flat statement that school spirit at Manual and Shortridge is 100 per cent lower than it was five years ago and that the reason for that is mainly in the failure of their athletic teams and not the great success of other rivals. When you have a winner you have school spirit. Losers Just create a wet-blanket atmosphere. OLE JOE CLUTCH. “Ole Joe” lias the boys talking. Looks like we may start a civil war. Well, if we don’t, it’ll break out sooner or later, anyhow. Dear Blackboard —Here are the fifteen best teams in the state, in order: Washington. Frankfort. Horace Mann. Technical. Franklin. Columbus, Connersville, Logansport, Martinsville. Kokomo. Vincennes, Anderson, Seymour and Rochester. HUNK and FLUNK. We looked for a post mark on that one but couldn't find any. Regardless of where it’s from, the lineup is good. Indianapolis. Dear Blackboard—Give my friend from Manual who says “Beat Shortridge” my regards. I'm with him. How's this for a Big Ten? Frankfort, Horace Mann, Columbus, Franklin. Anderson, Logansport, Tech., Washington. Vincennes and Muncie. How about Martinsville, fella’? SONNY BOY OF TECH.

Greenleaf Is Cue Victor Turns Back Lauri in Sensational Rally. Bu United Press DETROIT, Dec. 16. Ralph Greenleaf is still in the race for the world’s pocket billiard championship, but it required three hours and twenty-four innings of sensational hard-fought playing for him to turn back Onoi'rio Lauri of Brooklyn Sunday afternoon, 125 to 122. In the fourteenth inning, Greenleaf was trailing by 117 to 86 and a few innings later, as the result of taking a third deliberate scratch, he suffered a penalty of fifteen points and was behind 115 to 90. Erwin Rudolph, Chicago, held his lead by defeating Pasquale Natalie of Detroit Sunday night, 125 to 77 in thirty-one innings. Marcel Camp of Detroit, the 21-year-old youth, who surprised by beating both Taberski and Greenleaf in the present j tourney, suffered his second setback i in five starts by losing to Spencer J Livsey of Los Angeles by 125 to 119 j in forty-one innings, the longest j game of the tournament. Greenleaf and Taberski are sched- i uled to meet tonight in a game j which virtually means the elimina-! tion of the loser. Rudolph will op- j pose Camp in the second afternoon j game. Livsey and McCann will j clash in the opening afternoon game.

Beaver and Noble are two of the fastest and cleverest forwards in the Noblesville region.
