Indianapolis may give the subject some thought later, following the suggestion made in this column last week. There’s no chance to start Sunday doubleheaders here before 2 p. m. owing to the state Sabbath baseball law. a a a Emi! A Strauss of the Sell* company, a supporter of the Indians, approves the succeMion for earlier starting time at Washington park. Atlanta of the Southern .Association is said to have found the change a boost for attendance. JOHNNY RIDDLE,* former Indianapolis catcher sent to the White Sox in the deal for Crouse and Hoffman and a sum of cash, pulled into the Sox camp at San Antonio Monday and immediat:ly sent the newspaper men to their typewriters to peck off glowing reports to Chicago. Johnny was one \yeek late in reporting, having been detained in Georgia by the death of a brother. Manager Bush welcomed him to the big league. nan Here’s the way one Windy City scrivener described Kiddle: "it Johnny is *s jrood as he looks on first r'.ance and a* rood as Manager Bush says be is, he’ll catch more than 100 games for the Sox this year He’s in shape already and weighs The vouth is .'lngle, well setup. and a snappy dresser, who ought to be a riot with south side lady fans.” BBS That's quite a sendoff to give a young man of 24.

FIGHTERS ON MIAMI CARD END STRENUOUS WORK

Promoters Now Face Real Task Chief Problem Is to Find Buyers for 40,000 Unsold Seats. BY MORRIS DEHAVEN TRACY' United Pres* Staff Correspondent MIAMI, Fla.. Feb. 25.—A1l of the boxers who will be employed Thursday night to entertain the crowd at Miami’s second annual midwinter boxing festival, were winding up their training today and most oi the activity from this afternoon on will be confined to the promters. Their great problem will be to find purchasers for the remainder of the 40,000 tickets. Many Merely Tourists Although early ticket sales were good, peculiar as it may seem, the sale has not been as heavy as had been hoped for since the supposed fight crowd began to arrive Friday. It would seem that while thousands have been poured into the town, a lot of them took advantage of the low fares to Florida offered for the fight and may not see the fight at all. However, nobody was downhearted about it today, and there was a feeling that ticket sales would pick up before Thursday and put the fight into a profit-making basis. British Warships Present Phil Scott did his last serious boxing before the fight Monday. He put on the gloves for a while this afternoon out of courtesy to 250 sailors from three British warships in the harbor who will visit his training camp. He will not work hard. Jack Sharkey also is through with heavy work and what he does today will be in the way of tapering off. Tommy Loughran. training at Palm Beach will wind up his training today. The big event of Monday was the arrival in town of Gene Tunney, former champion, who has been recuperating from his recent operation. He has been on the Florida west coast for three weeks. He had nothing to say about the fight excepting that he would be there.

BY VERN BOXELL OF all the sectional tourney drawings, Indianapolis probably was the most successful from a box office standpoint. With Ben Davis, Shortridge, Manual and other strong teams in the upper bracket, and Washington, Tech, Beech Grove and others in the lower. the coffers should be filled generously. Ben Davis and Shortridge should pack, ’em in for the opening game. The county champs probably will give the Blue Devils a real battle. Shortridge and Manual loom as probable opponents in the second round of play Saturday morning.

Display only needs to win $57,264 to lead the all-time money winners, as the horse already has amassed earnings of $265,376. Zev holds the record with $313,693. Display has been startlingly inconsistent, considering the amount of money he has won. In ninety-nine starts, he has won twenty-three races, nearly all stake events. He has been beaten by ordinary horses and has defeated the best in the business. Bad actions at the post, have cost him enough races to pass Zev's mark. Jockeys say he likes to win by the narrowest of squeaks.

I Providing they advance that far, Shortridge and Broad Ripple or Southport should stage a real battle in the semi-finals, while Washington and Tech probably will clash in the other bracket semi-finals.

Just why does the Bearcat scribe omit A. R. Staggs of Anderson and Keith Crown of Horace Mann? He admits that Staggs was left off because he never produced a state championship quintet. Neither has several of his other “greats.” Maybe Staggs has bigger and better things in mind than state championships. Any coach who produces the stars that the veteran Anderson mentor has. deserves a place on anybody’s “outstanding coaches” list. Crown brought Horace Mann to the state last year, and the northerners caused plenty of grief and excitement before they packed up for the return trip.
