MOSE PRtJITT, who has brought five Spartaon teams to the state tourney in the eight years he has been at Connersville, recently lost a game to Rushvllle. Now the Spartan fans are after his scalp, hear. Burl Middle lost a game to Logans port. Maybe Washington would like to fire him, too. There are two coaches who wouldn’t have to worry about jobs. Marion is in the market. We understand another city up that way may be needing one. too. o a a There wmi to be vome trouble In the e.mn of the nilrhtv Hatchet*.

Rob Strar.ahan. he of tbe Newcastle Mooeho fame, and Harry Sllverburg. Munrle’s self-style typewriter coach, have signed a temporary peace pact. Bricks, bowle knives and six-shooters will be parked at the entrance tonight at Munle. Washington and Vincennes, after calling tach other everything in the dictionary and a few things not in that voluuminous bcok, battled without riot at Allcetown recently, and Pete Ellis. E. G. B. and Yarbroeh. the rival writers, spent many, many paragraphs on commending each other for the wonderful spirit of sportsmanship friendliness shown. Tsc. Tsc. MAYBE the I H S. A. A., which a few legislators, at least a couple, would have you believe is everything but right, has a little more influence than believed. St. Simon Catholic of Washington isn’t a member of Arthur L. Trester’s outfit. But when an Indianapolis promoter, Robinson by name, came around with a $1,500 guarantee for the Washington team, unbeaten in eighteen starts, to play Jeffersonville, suspended by the I. H. S. A. A., at the field house on March 19, the St. Simon officials refused. They could use the money alright, they admitted, but they wished to abide by the I H. S. A. A. rulings. ana It also Is said that Cathedral, the Jnral Catholic outfit, turned down a similar offer for the same reason. ana Maybe Purdue, Indiana, Butler or Danville would be interested. And by the way, what is the date for that Butler-Danvlile game? a a a Dear Boxell —Short ridge Anally has broken the losing streak. I'm free to write again. It’s a good thing because I've got to defend myself. Here It, comes to Ight that I. the Shortridge Lil, am a great lover. First it was Eleanor of Tech—now a certain Marty, also of Tech. Don't believe It. Boxell, don't believe It. I see where you mentioned twenty teams that might win the state. When you cut the list to ten. Shortridge was missing. But Tech still was there, after they had lost two games on preceding nights and after that beating at Anderson. Well, you're all wrong! I pick Shortridge or Frankfort to win the state. THE SHORTRIDGE LIL. P. S.—l wrote this letter before the Manual game, confident we would win. If we had Tost. I would have torn the letter up. but seeing as how you received the letter, we must have won. a a a Lil occupied the seat adjoining Backhoard’s at the Manual game. On several occasions, especially most of the first half, he was on the verge of tearing op thic. mighty epistle- And there were no Eleanors or Martys In or near Lil’s vicinity. sea Dear Backboard —I war.t to plead Innocent, for cot ar.d evermore. I don't know the I.:. Nether is Marty and Eleanor The rtzze person Eleanor is my own honest to goodness name, all of which you may announce in your thriving column. What did you think of that Anderson game Not ro much, eh? But Le Roy Edwards couldr. • co his best, because his finger was hurt Overman will make an all-star team before its over, though. You know. I think I'm about the only Techite who can write. Let ? have some support, gang. ELEANOR. Eleanor, do you always write on that pretty purple paper with the sweet aroma? I'm flattered. a a a Hello Chief—lt s certain a relief not to hear the silly drivel th.3t flows from the seemingly overflowing pen of that irresistible Shortridge Lil. But why should he get ail the breaks. We Tech boys can’t even discover this Eleanor, whom we now call the "mvsterious Eleanor.” At the present moment, the Lil hasn’t a chance, as I hear she has taken quite an interest in our center, the right honorable Le Rov Edwards. C'mon. Eleanor, let the poor, curious Techites know who you are Honest, we're proud of you. JUST BILL. a a a If this line of chalter keeps np, we’H have to take over a Martha Lee column. Imagine, "BoxeH's advice to tne lovelorn.'’ And, Shortridge, the name of the Peru coach is Loveless. 25~SEEK BERTHS EVANSTON, Feb. 13.—Twentyfive candidates are working out under the direction of Coach Paul Stewart for places on the Northwestern baseball team.

Seeking revenge for the upset handed them on their home court last Saturday by the Boilermakers, Coach Dean and his Indiana university cagers will come here Saturday to battle Purdue in the second of the annual Hoosler collegiate cage classics. Purdue will have full strength for the tussle. Indiana:, encouraged by an easy triumph over lowa after consecutive losses to Notre Dame and Purdue, may be hampered by the absence of Veller, guard and keyman of the Crimson offense, who aggravated an old injury in ihe lowa tilt. The Deanmen will attempt to tighten their hold on second place in the Big Ten race, which they share with Minnesota. Purdue’s loss to Illinois Tuesday dropped the Boilermakers to the second division, and a victory over Indiana would pull the Crimson down with them.

DAVE EANCROFT, former New York Giants* shortstop, always has been noted for brains. But absent mindedness one day made him a member of the bonehead club. With a runner on third and one out, Dave hit a long fly to center and was near second when the ball was caught. The out-
Cruising in Sportland
IT comes to light that during the compilation of the series now running in The Times, “Baseball’s Biggest Boners,” by Werner Laufer, the sports cartoonist, a thorough search was made oi Babe Ruth’s life record for some boneheaded play the big fellow might have made. Laufer nearly went dizzy trying to find himself a sign of a mental lapse on the part of the Babe while in a ball game. Not a thing popped up and the old-timers in the baseball world scratched their heads. They couldn't remember anything, Ruth Is one man who never makes a baseball mistake. He always throws to the right base, his judgment has been labeled as uncanny, and many is the time he’s been called a ball player by instinct. You know he’s not getting those eighty grands a season just for swatting home runs.
n tt ts Dick Woodward of Anderson, who starred as a hurler at Indiana university, ha-i signed with Charlotte in the South Atlantic League. In ’39, Dick was with Portland in the'New England, and in '3O with Elnjira in the New York-Pennsyl-vania. Wonder what the I. U. Phi Psi’s think of that? B tt B Lou Nahin. the Milwaukee Brewers’ new president, opines that the Cream City club and the Saints probably will have the best clubs in the A. A. this season and then chirps up with the warning to keep an eye on Indianapoiit. Nahin has a high regard for hustling johnny Corriden’s ability, as has every other man in the baseball business. U tt tt TWENT if-NINE Texas League rooki.s are slated for trials under the “big canvas” this spring and it has been estimated that a third of them may make good. That’s giving a lot of latitude. If ore-third make good that’s a mighty tough league. Nine of the newcomers are heavers, nine are infielders, eight patrol the outer gardens and three are catchers. B B tt Two of those who have been “up” before have been garnered by Burt Shotten'* Phillies. They are Lil Stoner, who won fourteen and lost six for Ft. Worth and Hal Wiltse, who won nineteen and drciped nine with Wichita Falls. Stoner sar service with Detroit and Wiltse is a familiar figure in Boston’s Red Sox park. b b a One of a group taken up by the Cardin'is is Dizzy Dean, a young scatterb ai. J heaver with a strong arm. Dizzy rooll> tells the newspaper bovs he'll win thirty games sure this season, but he'd <nly predict twenty-five so It wouldn‘t appear that he was bragging As long as Dizzy stays up, the big timers never will miss Art Shires. Dizzy can talk just as long and as fast as Art. Shires is some smarter. If he isn’t, he ought to be. “HPY COBB never saw his equal A and he was the greatest baseball player in my day and in this one,” declared Charley Comiskey,

the White Sox owner, on his seven-ty-third birthday recently. “The only regret of my life,” said Comiskey,” is that Cobb didn’t play for me. I’d have given anything to have had him. I nearly offered Detroit everything.” a a a “1 was awfully proud of the Sox In ’06,” said the aging Sox magnate, ‘‘and we absolutely were beaten out of that flag In ’O7, ’OB and ’O9 by one man—Ty Coob. He had the Sox rattled time and again. He was just a boy, but the Tigers finished sixth in ’O6 and then won the pennant the next, three years—all on Ty’s ability. He could do everything." a a a The old timers smile sometimes at remarks of the greatness of Athletic teams and Cub teams of recent years. They’ll motion you back to more than twenty years ago when the Cubs had Frank Chance on first base, Johnny Evers on second. Joe Tinker at short, and Harry Steinfeldt on third. Frank Schulte and Jimmy Sheekard. Artie Hofman and Jimmy Slagle were in the outfield and Jimmy Archer and Johnny Kling were the cctahers. Then there was a Pitching staff of Ed Reulbach. “Three-Fingered” Brown. Overall and Pfeister. That was a ball club! ross robinsopTTeads By United Press LAKE PLACID. N. Y„ Feb. 13.

Bulldogs Win Again Bert Davis Scores Six Field Goals in 25-18 Tilt. By United Press FRANKLIN, Ind., Feb. 13.—Butler university’s Bulldogs still were undefeated by Hoosier competition when they pulled out for home Thursday night after defeating Franklin college, 25 to 18. Controlling the tip-off. Butler retained possession of the leather throughout most of the first half. Although forced to shoot from long range, the Bulldogs piled up a 12 to 4 advantage in the initial half, largely through the efforts of Bert Davis, who registered four buckets. Miller added two two-pointers on spectacular side attempts. Airtight defensive maneuvers by both teams featured the game, neither .scoring for the first ten minutes of the opening half. Builer ran its lead to 20 to 6 early in the second session before the Baptists opened a rally. It enabled them to outscore the Hinklemeu 14 to 13 in the second period, but the early lead of the Blue was too much to overcome. David added two more field goals, boosting his game total to six. Proffitt and Tackett also played stellar roles in Butler’s win. Williams and Anderson were the main cogs for Franklin. Lineup and summary: Butler (25). Franklin (18'. FG FT PF!
