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. Shortrldge was missing. But Tech still was there, after they nad 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.

PERRY REPORTED READY TO BUY CINCINNATI REDS

Weil Sells Columbus Local A. A. Owner Rumored Seeking Majority Stock of Redlegs. B]t 7 ime* .Special CINCINNATI. Feb. 14.—Now that the Cincinnati Reds have sold the Columbus (American Association) club, it was reported rel'ably here today that Norman Pen*y, Indianapolis capitalist and sportsman and president of the Hoosier A. A. entry, will press negotiations for the purchd.se of the Reds. Perry now is in Florida, but is underst<x>d to be dickering with Sidney Weil, president of the Reds, for Weil's majority stock in the Cincinnati club. Indianapolis recently sold the Quincy (111.) Three-I League club. In case the deal goes through, it is said that Jack Hendricks, former manager of the Reds, might take charge of the office, although his health probably would not permit active management. Hendricks now is Perry'. l } adviser with the Indianapolis club, which he formerly managed Sale of the Columbus A. A. club by the Reds was completed Friday. It was purchased by Leland B. MacPhail, Columbus capitalist, sportsman and Western Conference football official, and associates. McPhail purchased the club outright. Weil said the Reds had lost money on the Columbus proposition since taking it over four years ago. Neither Weil nor McPhail disclosed the purchase price. The Reds also operate the Peoria Three-I League club, and Weil stated one or two more clubs below Class A A grade might be purchased for farming purposes.

Irish Quintet Hands Wabash 1-Point Loss f.,7 'lime* Special NOTRE DAME, Ind., Feb. 14. Notre Dame's net team found Wabash a bit different than they were at Crawfordsville a few weeks ago, and it was all Coach Koegan’s proteges could do to muster up a onepoint victory here Friday night, 18 to 17. Minus the services of their star, Ray De Cook, the Irish trailed 3 to 3 as half time neared. Ray entered the game and the Irish held a 9 to 8 edge at the half. Howell, who tallied five field goals and two fouls during ihe game, put the Scarlet into the lead at the start of the half. The edge see-sawed until near the end, when De Cook sank the last field marker.

Different By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 14. Jess Petty, veteran southpaw, had an interesting comment to make on the new National League ball, designed to aid the pitchers. ”1 like a smooth ball," said Petty, "and it's possible that the raised seams on the new ball may hamper a pitcher's control."

FRED MARBERRY almost undid his great work of 1924 in the final series with St. Louis late in September. After a wild slugfest, Washington went into the last half of the ninth leading 15 to 14. Victory practically would cinch the pennant. Marberry, as relief pitcher, allowed St. Louis to fill the bases with one out. In such a crisis the team in the field hopes the ball will be hit to the pitcher, That makes a perfect double play setting. The batter obliged by

Detroit Tigers Hope for Better Hurling and More Power at Bat

Editors Note—This is the filth of a series of articles detailing the effort* of Amereian Learue club* to strengthen in preparation for the 1931 season. Monday, St. Louis. Bp United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—Like several other American League manages. Stanley Harris of Detroit is seeking more punch and better pitching. Detroit, until last season, always had the power, but was shy on pitching. The pitching was somewhat improved in 1930, but the batting strength was decreased. Apparently, Harris is of the opinion his hurling staff will deliver this year. The Detroit roster

Cruising in Sportland

BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Finch Hitting for Eddie Ash FRIDAY, the thirteenth, has passed, but it means little or nothing to most ball players. In bascballdom every day is a day of superstitions. There isn’t any other sport in the world where superstitions hold as much sway. For instance, you know that each bat has just so many hits in it and no more. Any ball player will tell you that. Last season provided its new "jinx” incidents and its share of lucky ones, too. This season will see just as many.

a a a One of the best of 1930 la being related now. It’s on F.ddie Brannick, the Giants* secretary. He happened to be narked in the Redland field bleachers at Cincinnati last August and the Giants won. Next day. he went back to his bleacher seat. They won again. In fact, with Eddie sititng ont there they swept the aeries. ana Eddie, not so overjoyed wwith his task, but superstitious to the last, sat in the bleachers in St. Louis. McGraw's men won. He sat in the bleachers at Chicago. The Giants won the opening game. Then they lost the second. Brannick. in desperation. hired two Negro gentlemen to sit with him in the bleachers in an effort to turn the tide back again. They failed. That’s history now. But it was good while it lasted. tt n sr ANOTHER great one in 1930 started the day Uncle Wilbert's Robins went into first place in the National League pennant chase. Otto Miller happened to catch in batting practice that day. And so for every following game in the next three months Otto stayed behind the bat in swatting practice. Just making sure. nan Sow they aay that Rogera Hornsby may not even try to play second base for his Cubs this year. He'll let Clarence Blair do the second basing, ’tis said, and the Rajah will try to play first base. On first thought it sounds like one of Hans Anderson's very finest. Then, when you ponder over it a while it doesn't sound so ridiculous. If Hornsby's heel is healed, as be says it is, it mgiht be a good idea, seeing that be hasn't a first sarker on his club anywhere near his caliber as a hitter. a a a ‘•Well,” said one of the bovs. “I knew Cv Williams would have to leave those Phillies some time. He was with 'em thirteen years. Bor. he could take it." a a a AND now were reminded of a real thrill—one turned in by an Indianapolis player. It was on May 2, 1922. Indianapolis was playing St. Paul, and on his last trip to the plate, Ernie Krueger, the Tribe catcher, hammered out a home run. The next day. May 3. the Hoosiers faced the Minneapolis Millers, and on his first three journeys to the plate, Ernie smacked a home run each time. Four times at bat. Four home runs. That is swatting. SPITZ GIVEN TROPHY By United Press NEW YORK. Feb. 14.—George Spitz, New York university freshman. today succeeded Stella Walsh.

hitting sharply to Marberry, who had a cinch double play by merely tossing the ball to the catcher. Instead, he became flustered, started to throw to first, and then changed his mind and heaved the ball to second, with no one covering. The ball rolled into center field, and two runs, enough to beat Washington, crossed the plate. This boner for a time threatened to cost the Nats a pennan.t

indicates Harris has stood pat, as outside of a few recalls, only one new thrower lias been added. The newcomer is Marrow of Beaumont, and he may need further minor league experience. Three veterans, Uhle, Hoyt and Whitehill, will form the nucleus of the mound corps and there is no reason to expect that any one of the three will fail to deliver. Os last year's crop of rookies, Hogsett, Myatt, Cantrell and Bridges, should show considerable improvement and be of real assistance. A wise move has been made in the purchase of Catcher Gra’oowski, who caught for Chicago and

New York for several seasons. The Tigers have not been any too well equipped behind the bat since the release of Johnny Bassler several years ago and Grabowski ought to steady the young pitchers. In DeSautels, Detroit lias a smart youngster but a weak hitter. The infield most probably will be composed of Alexander, Gehringer, Akers and McManus. Mark Koenig, who finished the 1930 season as a pitcher, may be given another crack at short while Owen, former star shortstop for Seattle, is likely to draw one of the utility berths with Holley, bought from Beaumont, undcstudying Gehringer at second. Batting strength may have been added in the purchases of Eckhardt and Shiver from Beaumont, the Walker brothers from Evansville and Doljack from Wheeling, all outfielders. At least three of these rooTdes will give Roy Johnson, John Stone and Elias Funk spirited competition for the outfield berths. Two famous veterans, Catcher Wally Schang and Third Baseman Joe Dugan are to make the training trip with the Tigers. If they show they still can play major league ball, they will be signed.
