Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Dec. 18. Arthur SHIRES, the self-con-fessed "Great Man,’’ had his second professional fight Monday night out in Chicago, and lost decisively. With characteristic modesty, he had talked glibly of what>he would do to Tunney. It is regrettable that this match could not have been arranged. A great many people who aren't exactly enthusiastic admirers of the garrulous first oaseman of the White Sox would enjoy the result. Tunney being unavailable it is suggested that Mr. Shires be matched with Sharkey. This at least would settle the heavyweight ego championship of the world. a a In hi* early day* Sharkev talk'd an yTfn more rommandinu language than Mr. Shirr* i doing currrntly. Bat thrrr was one trivial difTrrrnrr; for the moat part Sharkey wa* ahir to hark uo his words with convincing hooks. a tt n Thrrr 1s considerable doubt as to Mr. Shirrs' fistic ability. Even thr ball play- : ers seem eager to art at him. There have ; brrn a numbrr of ball players who built j up reputations as two fisted battlers on ; the diamond and In the club house, but ; Mr. Shires Is the first to rarrv militant j knuckle* to the box Office in a big way. ! ana JUDGE KENESAW MOUNTAIN LANDIS has made no move to interfere. Apparently as long as a j ball player confines his fighting to i the prize ring there can be no offi- j cial objections. During the last j world series the judge wouldn’t even | allow the players to employ threat- I ening gestures. At one time the language among the players became a trifle too picturesque for the learned man"s acoustics and he railed the rival managers, Mr. McGillicuddy of the Athletics and Mr. McCarthy of the Cubs to his box, and laid down the law. tt tt a "IP THERE IS ANY CESSING OUT j THERE TODAY.” WARNED THE JUDGE, TIE HAVE THE MANAGER OF THE ! GEIETY TEAM THROWN OCT OF THE 1 PARK.” ana Can you picture anything more gravely dramatic than a platoon of j gendarmes escorting the 67-year-old ; Mr. McGillicuddy off the premises? n tt tt Whether tou ran nr not thr two manager* hnstlrd Iheir plater* hark Into the tiremlnc rooms, and delivered stirring oration*, the gist of which was that onlv the moat bygenic and aanitary speech was to he employed throughout thr game, which happened to he the fifth one at Philadelphia. tt tt ft Returning to the battle ground, the Athletics took the field and the Cubs' leadofT man walked to the plate. Just before the first ball was pitched, Mickey Cochrane, the Athletics catcher, lifted his mask, turned to the Cubs’ dugout and in a high, piping voice sang out: “All right, sweethearts, let’s be up and at them now.” a a a YOU CAN TAKE IT FROM THE JUDGE. FROM WHOM I GET THE STORY. THAT COCHRANE'S CRACK RUINED THE REST OF TnE DAY FOR HIM. a a a But to get back to Mr. Shires. Possibly he is doing the smart thing in restricting his fighting to the professional ring, inasmuch as there is ample evidence that the opposition to be had these days in the profesisonal ring is more feeble than formidable. a a a There is, to cite a pertinent example ■ the occasion of the recent Scott-Von Porat thins when one of the Singer Midgets walked indignantly* from the arena insisting that he could whip the two of them In the same ring. ana OF COURSE. MR. SHIRES STIEE HAS A I.OT TO I.EARN ABOUT PROFESSIONAL FIGHTING. THERE IS NOTHING IN HIS RECORD TO SHOW THAT HE EVER HIT AN OPPONI NT A ! OW PUNCH. AND UNTIE HE MASTERS THIS INTRICATE STRATAGEM THE CHANCES ARE HE WIFE NOT GET VERY FAR. tt a a HOW Mr. Shires would have j fared against some of the old ' time battlers of the diamond is a guess. In the old days the boys used to battle at the drop of a hat, Or sooner. Perhaps one of the reasons a character such as Mr. Shires appears so unusual these days is that the boys no longer wear hats, the bare head influence of the college campus having moved in to leave its esthetic imprint on the game. a a a There 1* a legend that the Old Orioles of McGraw's fledgling days were the scrappiest set of players In history, and maybe they were: but the during the regime of chance and the Tigers under Jennings never were distinguished by their extreme gentleness. man PROBABLY NO PLAYER IN BASEBALL EVER HAD MORE BATTLES THAN THE SOFT SPOKEN TY COBB OF GEORGIA. HE TOOK HIS BATTLES WHERE HE POUND THEM AND IT WAS A DULL DAY WHEN HE COULDN’T FIND ONE. EITHER ON THE FIELD. IN THE CLUB HOUSE. IN THE STANDS OR IN A HOTEL LOBBY.

N. Y. Mitt Board Allows Champs Non-Title Bouts H i I nitrrl Press NEW YORK. Dee. 18.— In response to the plea of boxing promoters that other states were benefiting at the expense of New York clubs, the state athletic commission has rescinded its rule forbidding champions to appear in non-title matches in New York. Champions will now be allowed to appear in catchweight matches in New York, providing they defend their titles at least once every six months. Promoters staging catchweight bouts featuring champions will be forced to submit contracts in which the champion agrees to defend his title, before the catch - weight bout will be approved.

Dec. 18.James Abromson, former captain of the Indiana university track team, doesn't claim to be the world's fastest human, but he returned from a hunting trip recently with a story of having outrun a rabbit.

Washington to Face Two Strong Fives Franklin and Horace Mann to Be Met by Hatchet Team. OTHER RIVALRY TILTS Indiana high school basketball fans will be treated to a card of mid-season proportions this weekend. Rivalry tilts again hold the interest. Burl Friddle’s Washington Hatchets. recognized as one of the three outstanding teams in the state at the present time and undefeated in seven starts, face the toughest assignment of the more than seven hundred teams which will see action. Tile Hatchets will journey to Franklin Friday night. Fuzzy Vandiver, coach of the Famous Five, and Friddle, formerly were teammates on the Franklin high school and college teams, playing together for eight years. Horsemen Supreme Following this game, the Hatchets will make a 200 mile jaunt north r or an engagement Saturday night with Keith Crown’s strong Horace Mann quintet. The Horsemen, still without the services of Kos, star center, humbled Logansport on the Berries home floor Tuesday night, 20 to 12, upsetting the ancient theory that a good northern team would be out of class against, a good central or southern quintet. The game is expected to be one of the best of the early season. One of the oldest and most bitter rivalries will be renewed at Muncie Friday night when Orville Hooker’s Newcastle Trojans clash with Muncie. The Bearcats, after a slow start, have gained much power, and surprised the state with a 48 to 24 victory over Tech of Indianapolis last week. Newcastle, despite defeats with Van Nuys and Huffman, stars, on the sidelines, still is a dangerous threat to all opponents and may give the Jollymen a setback. During the past seven years Muncie has won sixteen consecutive games from the Trojans, and preceding that won fifteen of twenty contests. Anderson Favored Anderson is favored to stop Kokomo when the Mastermen invade Indian town Friday, despite the improved showing of the Wildcats. The Stagg quintet toppled Frankfort last week, but preceding that were defeated by Kokomo. Logansport journeys to Martinsville Friday, and while the Arteslans are admittedly the weakest in years, they will give Coach Wells’ five a real tussle. Frankfort holds a decided edge over Morton of Richmond in their engagement Saturday, while Lebanon, conquerers of Newcastle, face a tough foe in Tech of Indianapolis. Marion at Shelby Marion’s scrappy Giants go to Shelbyville Friday, and the result should be a battle royal. While the Taubemen are not topnotchers, they are a fighting team that may cause some trouble. Connersville shouldn’t find Greenfield too tough When they invade the latter place Friday. Greenfield, however, should handily defeat Pendleton Saturday. Bloomington, with a perfect record of no victories, journeys to Vincennes. The Alices likewise have had their ups and downs, but have had more ups than the Panthers. Coach Adams’ five dropped two games last week, to Bedford and Logansport, while the Phillipsmen lost to Brazil and Bedford. Columbus, fast gaining recognition as one of the state's best, looks good to increase its record against the Stone Cutters at Bedford Friday. Job for Gill’s Team One of the features of the far north will be played at Michigan City, when Andy Gill’s quintet, holding down the cellar position in the eastern division of the northern Indiana high school conference, meets the league-leading La Porte Slicers Friday. Elkhart will play at La Porte Saturday. Wiley of Terre Haute will meet two worthy foes at Spencer Friday and Brazil Saturday. Garfield of Terre Haute Invades Brazil Friday. The Evansville city series will be opened by East and Memorial Saturday, Central meeting New Albany in the other feature battle of that district. Many other good games appear on the schedule.

Wabash Sees Encouraging Step Under New System
Budget for Sports to Be Prepared by President Same as Class Work; Directors Stay.
By 1 nited Press CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind., Dec. 18.—It is believed athletics will be helped at Wabash college, with creation of a policy of faculty responsibility to control and finance all sports. Harry Sciioller will continue as athletic director, with Robert E. (Pete) Vaughan retaining his position as head football and basketball coach. Athletic activities now are placed upon exactly the same plane as classroom work so far as institutional responsibility and budget are concerned. From now on the budget for sports will be prepared by the president after consultation with the athletic directors of the college, the trustees’ committee, the faculty committee and the alumni advisory committee. The ruling was looked upon here as the most encouraging step for many years toward advancement of competitive sports. Limited financial support heretofore has been a great drawback in arranging schedules in all athletic activities. Under the new plan all finances of the athletic department will be handled by the college. In the past the athletic depart-
