Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, March 11.—A trio of Frenchmen arrived Tuesday, and of all places, from France, headed by Jean Borotra to compete to the—what's that?— I’m so sorry —the chairman of the chapel reminds me that It Is a distinct violation of rule 5.679 to mention Mons. Borotra without reremng to him as the bounding bosque—it shall not happen again. 0 0 0 Well, anrwav the Frenchmen In Toesto play arah.st the American white flannel* In the annual indoor championahlp* which start Saturday at the Seventh Regiment ArmorV You are aware, of eourie. that the Frenchmen are amateur* and that they will be competing against amateur*. I mean there is no pay roll or splitting of cate receipts, or anything of that sordid sort. 0 0 0 . 1, am w not, familiar with the precise detail*. but it is my understanding the Frenchmen have their expenses paid by the American Association Including steamer. fare, board and lodging and such Incidentals to which international stars are accustomed. Presumably, the same applies to the Americans who must travel from such distant points as East Orange. Trenton and North Philadelphia. 0 0 0 The monies taken In at the gate are used to defray promotional costs and If In the end a surplus exist* this Is tossed Into a general missionary fund for the advancement of tennis erudition among the provincials. Generally speaking the arrangements are very sound and eanltabte arid not at all smacking of sharp commercialism. 000 Certainly the tennis association makes the most of the funds at Its command and surely there Is nothing scandalous about 'he visiting Frenchmen accepting gratis accomodations and the essential concomitants while they are over here. Without them. I can Imagine the tournament would be pretty flat Indeed. 000 SOME of the boys are speculating what the amateur tournament, which runs a week, will draw at the box office. Personally, I have never been able to discover just what the box office has to do with the spirit of amateur sport and the more absorbing matter of relative abilities, as represented by the combatants, but the boys will insist upon getting mercenary about these things. 000 “They don’t draw as much In a week as Jack Curley’s show took in one night,” predicts Mike Jacobs, the bird dog of the amusement world, who Is also more sedately known as the champion ticket scalper. 0 0 0 • What Jacobs thinks about e.mateur tennis is not terribly important because the only amateur tennis he ever saw was in a news reel, at which time the gentleman got up and left the theater in high dudgeon. snorting, “no wonder the country’s going to the dogs.” 000 But nevertheless and notwithstanding Jacob's comment is a reminder that for the first time in many years a competitive business rivalry exists in tennis. Curley, as you know, has a professional troupe which also plavs Indoors. In Its only metropolitan appearance thus far this season the troupe played to capacity and prosperous trade at the Garden. 0 0 0 At the present writing Curley’s troupe, featuring william Tilden No. 2. is out on the west coast and there is no danger that the troupe will be called back and presented as a counter attraction against the amateurs. To begin with, Curley is not that kind of a door knob. Live and let live is his philosophy. Naturally Curley prefers to live longer and better as who doesn’t? 000 WHAT I am trying to swing around to is that Curley’s show undoubtedly lured a lot of people who did not know a foot fault from a head rest. They wanted to be there because they had read so much about Tilden and the squatty little professional from Prague and besides everybody else was going to go and it seemed the proper thing to do. 000 On the other hand the amateurs attract only the tennis crowd which is easy enough to understand. This was true. I venture, ren of Tilden at the time he dominated the amateur courts. Among those who lammed the garden turnstiles to see him plav his first professional match were probably many who wouldn’t have gone out to Forest Hills to see him play on a bet. Whether they’d go to see him play again is something else. It doesn’t take novelty long to lose its appeal. KING TUT UNDER KNIFE Minneapolis Boxer Recovering From Appendix Operation.

MANAGER CORRIDEN NAMES TRIBE BATTING ORDER

Eddie Montague, New Shortstop, Chosen Leadoff; Walker Fourth

Fitzgerald to Hit Second, Bonura Third, Barnhart Fifth, Narlesky Sixth and Andrus Seventh in Exhibition Tilts; Tucker Only Absentee. • BY EDDIE ASH Time* Sport* Editor SARASOTA, Fla., March 11.—After sizing up his athletes in training during Tuesday's drill, Manager Corriden of the Indians worked out a tentative batting order that has all the earmarks of becoming permanent, or at least the order in which the Tribe pastimers will hit during the exhibition games and perhaps when the American Association season gets under way. Eddie Montague, shortstop, has been assigned to the leadoff position. He bats right handed and played with both Cleveland and New Orleans last year. Howard Fitzgerald will hit second, and according to Corriden the former Texas Leaguer will be the team’s centerflelder without competition. He bats left handed and also throws with the southpaw wing. Henry Bonura, the stalwart Italian of New Orleans has been assigned to bat third, with Pete Monahan also listed in that spot so long as he continues in the running for the first base berth.

Outfielder Curt Walker will perform in the right garden and bat in fourth place, the cleanup hole. Coming up fifth will be Clyde Barnhart, and in the same spot during spring training the name of Len Koenecke will appear. Narlesky Is Sixth Bill Narlesky already named as guardian of third base, will go to the plate in sixth place and in the seventh spot will appear Bill Andrus or Paul Wolfe. Eighth and ninth places will be occupied by the catcher and pitchers, respectively. Looking ’em over, therefore, the tentative early batting order stacks up as follows: Montague, as. Fitzgerald, cf. Bonura or Monahan, lb. Walker, rs. Barnhart or Koenecke, If. Narlesky, 3b. Andrus or Wolfe, 2b. Riddle or Angley, c Burwell or others, p. With the exception of the hold out Ollie Tucker, slugging outfielder, all hands were present on Tuesday and during the three-hour drill the boys stepped around in fine style. Montague Shows Form Montague fitted in nicely on his first day in camp, and though infield practice was cut out, owing to cold weather, he showed enough during the general routine to convince the observers he has the stuff. Montague is a bigger youth than the popular Rabbit Warstler, whom he succeeds, and apparently has more power at the plate. He bats right-handed. However, his arm looked strong the first day. Fitzgerald, in center field, did not show to advantage, but it was his baptism in camp and naturally his batting eye was off color. He has the proper size and build to cover the middle pasture, and on reputation the job evidently is cinched for him. Paul Wolfe, fresh from coaching duties in the Hoosier state, reported in splendid condition and lost no time in cavorting along with the others. He has the speed and fielding skill, but lacks hard swatting ability. M’INTIRE WINS SHOOT Breaking 49 out of 50 targets, McIntire won the singles event at Crooked Creek Gun Club shoot on Tuesday. Brady won the handicap with 23 out of 25.

CEASE your worries, children. All is well in the camp of the mighty Muncie Bearcats (our Muncie). It seems that out of fiftytwo weeks in a year, and this year of all years, Mr. Charles (Mickey) Davison must pick this one to contract what is known in medical circles as pink-eye. But we have the official word that the big Irishman will be in there throwing baskets for Mr. Pete Jolly and Muncie (our Muncie), and therefore, we’re not worrying. Because when that boy starts throwing baskets it’s bad—bad for our Muncie’s opponents, even if that opponent is Newcastle. When it comes to net

Tom is promising talent, but needs urging now and then to remind him baseball is being played. He can hit the ball and improvement on the receiving end would pave the way for a big league berth. He is down to his old football poundage and beginning today Manager Corriden will start teaching him the finer points required of an American Association receiver. When at Georgia Tech, Angley played against the “four horsemen” team of Notre Dame and explains that he is just beginning to recover from the punishment. 8 8 8 The chief reason pitcher BUI Parks was the first victim of Manager Corriden’a release ax was on account of wildness. He hit too many batsmen and his change of paee couldn’t fool the groundkeeper. 8 8 8 NEW style balls arrived Tuesday and some were used. The spheres have raised seams, but apparently are as lively as ever. However, the raised stitches may help the pitches when it comes time for curves to be thrown. 8 8 8 The Tribe athletes aim to he at their best when Governor Leslie of Indiana pulls into camp next week. Reservations have been made for the Hoosler chief executive and four other vacationists, John Rucklehaus. Harry Boggs. Dr. Harry Parr and Henry Marshall. HOOSIER FIVE TRIUMPHS By Times Special FT.

Mile Record Threatened by Five Stars in Garden Meet

BY DIXON STEWART United Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 11.—The belated entry of Carl Coan, Pennsylvania junior, in the mile race in Saturday’s Knights of Columbus games at Madison Square Garden today assured the best field of runners that ever has gone to the post in any indoor race of that distance. Coan is the fifth and final entrant in the limited field which will include Ray Conger, Illinois A. C.; Leo Lermond, Boston A. A.; George Bulwinkle. C. C. N. Y., and Gene Venzke, Swedish-American A. C. Every man in the field except Bullwinkle has run the mile in competition under 4:14 and track followers believe that the meeting of the five stars will produce anew world indoor record. The present record of 4:12 was established by Paavo Nurmi at Buffalo, N. Y. on March 7, 1925 and equalled ten days later by Joie Ray of Chicago in old Madison Square Garden. At that time it was predicted that the record would stand for all time and five years of

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Golden Gloves Event Popular - \ By United Press CHICAGO, March 11.—A new world's attendance record for an indoor boxing show is expected to be established when a crowd of 23,000 attends the fourth annual Golden Gloves amateur tournament in Chicago. The record is 22,600, made in the intercity bouts between Chicago and New York a year ago. Extra seats at the ringside in the Chicago stadium will enable that record to be exceeded tonight.

strenuous competition have failed to eclipse the standard. Coan’s subsequent Indoor appearances, In which he helped the University of Pensylvania relay team establish anew world record for a mile-and-seven-eights and established anew I. C. A. A. A. A. mile record have led his coach, Lawson Robertson, to believe he can come through with a victory. Conger, whose loss to Coan at the Millrose games last week, was his only defeat at the indoor mile in three years, has trained carefully for the Columbian mile and doubtless will be the favorite to win. TWO EIGHTS TOP BILL Two eight-round events will top the weekly fistic offering at Tomlinson hall tonight. Joe Harding, Kokomo Negro welterweight, will clash with Eddie Allan of Columbus, 0., and Dutch Baiting will mix with Tommy Merritt in the other eight. Eight other scraps and a battle royal will round out the complete bill, which starts at 8:30.

Wayne regional, we’re in favor of a grand jury investigation. 8 8 8 SEVERAL weeks ago, Backboard ventured the prediction that when Mr. Kenneth Peterman found a lad capable of taking care of Shortridge’s backguarding, said Shortridge would be a very much improved team. And, by chance or something else, such is the case. A tall youngster by the name of Brafford has produced very nicely for Peterman in the last few Blue encounters, with the result that —well, Shortridge is playing in the regional. 8 8 8 In the excitement of the Hoosler cage carnival, local fans are overlooking the fact that another local outfit is going out to do bigger and better things for Indianapolis. We are referring to Joe Diehart’s Cathedral outfit, one of the three teams who will represent Indiana in the National Catholic tournament at Chicago. A national championship in Indianapolis wouldn’t look so bad at that, wonld it? 88 ■ 8 Just as we were bemoaning the fact that little or nothing was being said among the pen-and-ink boys and girls, along comes the mail man. And he did right well by us. 8 8 8 First of all, we have little Kathleen from Tech.

They can lick everythirg but our spirit. As for Shortridge, good luck—until next year.” 8 8 8 Three Techltes urge Shortridge to keep going until they reach the state finals. “Bring home the bacon, Shortridge. and we’ll furnish the eggs.” they conclude. 8 8 8 And Miss Eleanor, the mystery girl of Tech, also is disappointed. She expected a razzing. But Eleanor wants Tech. Tim Campbell and the world to know that she is proud of the Green team and coach, and that snes’ taking off her hat to Shortridge. She even hopes they come to the fieldhouse. Tech needs more Eleanors. And Eleanor, we accept your congratulations, blushingly. 8 8 8 On paper “stole from the Ciaypool hotel” comes the following epistle from Mr. Shortridge 111. “Everybody but Shortridge was surprised at the sectional outcome. And are we happy? Now, we’re not stopping at the sectional. It’s the regional, and then the state! This Alexandria outfit, we played them last year and got beat.

Coming back in the last half, with Tackett controlling the tip, Butler’s counter attack swept through Notre Dame's shifting zone defense, and the Hinkelmen soon had the scoreboard showing 9-all. Sharpshooting by Chadd sent the locals out in front, and midway in the session, Butler led 15 to 9. Paced by Gavin and Crowe, the Irish closed the gap to 17 to 15, but the Bulldogs put on pressure and wound up with another field goal and free throw. There were no outstanding stars for the locals.
