is Inin (Pete) Fox. of Evansville, an outfielder and a member of the Detroit Tigers. Mickey Cochrane, new Detroit manager, thinks well of the young Hoosier and believes Pete will be the regular center gardener for his club this year. Cochrane, while playing with the Philadelphia Athletics, had many opportunities to size up Fox and has expressed the opinion the 21-year-old pastimer is destined to become a top flight star. Pete batted only .288 last season, but it was his first full year as a big leaguer and Cochrane feels sure he can give the lad a few pointers that will boost his batting average. The Hoosier is a clever fly chaser and has good speed in covering ground and on the paths, hox s extra base hits in 1933 included twenty-six doubles, thirteen triples and seven home runs. He stole nine bases. In 1930 Fox batted .339 for Wheeling, in 1931 he hit for .303 with Evansville, and in 1932 he led Texas League hitters with a mark of .357 as a member of the Beaumont team. He swings and throws righthanded. a a 0 a •! 8 COMMENTS still are coming in over the publication in this column last Friday of an old-time picture of Paul (Dummy) Hines who played the outfield for the Indianapolis baseball club in 1887 at the old Seventh street 'now Sixteenth) grounds. Some of the veteran fans will tell you that Hines could smack that “apple and go get em in the middle pasture. Captain William C. Stiegelmeyer of pumper com-

pany .No. 29, at Shelby and Kelly streets, says Hines played with Washington before coming to Indianapolis and Mr. Stiegelmeyer asserts that Paul was the first player to catch a ball tossed off the Washington monument in Washington. D. C. Gabby Street always has been credited with this remarkable feat. Stiegelmeyer played league ball himself for five years back in the old days. He played under the name of Billy Murphy and well remembers the pastimers of Hines’ time. In this paragraph today is another photo of an old-time Indianapolis star of the team of 1888. This pose indicates the old-timer played the infield. He was built for the job. A veteran printer at The Times says he thinks this performer was the shortstop of the ’BB nine here. Moreover, the typo fan says Indianapolis has had only three real shortstops within his memory, this lad of forty-six years ago, Ownie Bush of 1908 and Rabbit Warstler of only a few years ago. Teams of the late eighties in Indianapolis apparently made a lasting impression on the fans of the era" Old-timers have phoned and written in to say they can rattle off the full lineups of the teams that performed on the old Seventh street diamond. This photo was taken in New York and Indianapolis was in the National League—big league stuff! Herbert L. Wright of 1024 Virginia avenue declares he can name the rosters of the clubs of the eighties at

any time. There was no name on today’s rare photo when it was received by The Times. The gentleman who brought it in said he was only eight years old in 1888. but felt sure this ball tosser was known as Pebble Jack, and that he had been informed by older friends that Pebble Jack was the city s first brilliant shortstop and was the idol of the fans. However, it is said Scrappy Pebble Jack was rather brutal with opposing base runners and was ready to start a fight at any time over a close play if the decision went against his team. a a a o tt o JOE KELLY, local sportsman and former newspaper man, quickly identified Paul Hines' picture last Friday. Joe tells of Sammy Ivfurch, 230-pound third baseman of the 1910 Indianapolis team. That’s a lot of weight to pack around the hot corner, probably seventy pounds more than the weight of Fred Bcdore, 1933 Tribe third sacker. Kelly says the Indians trained at Waco, Tex., in 1910. And this year they will return to Texas, at Galveston. Joe relates that Murch, despite his enormous size, made an unassisted triple play when he was in the old Connecticut League, before joining Indianapolis. a tt a u o a HARRY GORMAN of Indianapolis had no difficulty in recognizing the picture of Paul Hines. Gorman was an office boy in the eighties and was employed by John T. Brush, the owner of the Hoosiers. Brush later took over the New York Giants. One local fan says the present Sixteenth street, known as Seventh street in the eighties, where the ball park was located, previously was named Tinker park. a tt a a tt tt IN some parts of the country this winter crowds have been taking in basketball as never before. Notre Dame has shown a handsome profit on the court and lowa drew one crowd of 11.003. A few of the high school games in Indianapolis have been played in well-filled halls, and in a few cities in the state attendance has picked up over last year, although it is true that the interest is off here and there. The worst of weather conditions prevailed Saturday night, but despite this handicap, Indiana and Purdue were well supported in Bloomington. Hundreds of Indianapolis fans called off the Bloomington trip on account of the snow and breeze, a a a a a a TECH high cf Indianapolis, playing at Jefferson of Lafayette, Friday. performed before a big gathering and with the S. R. O. sign out. At the Cathedral-Manual basketball game in Cathedral gym last Friday the place was packed, but the seats were empty. The fracas was so close the customers were on their feet throughout. It was a case of south side Germans opposed to ail-around-the-town Irish. Which led the “little German band" of the Irish school to play a German selection when the score was deadlocked at 10-all.

Jan. 15.—Baseball's star, George Herman (Babe) Ruth paid an early call to Jacob Ruppert today and, before osund men’s cameras and photographers, signed his 1934 Yankee’s player contract. The actual signing was but a formality, as the Babe and his employor, Colonel Ruppert, made a gentleman’s agreement on Friday which provided that Ruth was to receive a one-year contract calling for $35,000. Colonel Ruppert today revealed what transpired in Friday’s conference. “I suggested $25,000,” the colonel said. “Ruth said ‘l’d hate to take less than $35,000.’ I asked him if he'd sign for that and he said he would. That’s all there was to it.” Rupppert today was asked if he had talked with Ruth about becoming a manager. We’ve never even mentioned the matter," Colonel Ruppert said. “It's all pure gossip. Ruth now has a one-year player contract. He told me he felt he would play 100 games and I told him I hoped he was right.” BUTLER CAGER HURT Frank Reissner.

State Cage Teams Hit Trail to Engage Foes Purdue Faces Wisconsin at Madison: Notre Dame Travels to Pittsburgh Seeking Twenty-Third Straight Win: Indiana Meets Buckeyes. BY DICK MILLER Purdue’s lead in the Big Ten Conference basketball race, gained Saturday night when the Boilermakers swamped Indiana, will be tested tonight when Lambert's pastimers take the floor at Madison. Wis.. to battle Doc Meanwell's Wisconsin Badgers, a team that is always tough for the : Lafayette crew. Coach Ward Lambert took a large squad of Boilermakers on the trip, feeling that if any or ills first string nve go stale after the Indiana rout he will have dependable replacements against Meanwell’s team. Wisconsin downed Michigan Saturday night. 34 to 23.

Purdueites Rule Race By Times Special BLOOMINGTON. Ind.. Jan. 15. Seven thousand fans who journeyed over slippery roads Saturday night to witness what was expected to be one of the outstanding basketball tilts of the season, were somewhat disappointed, although Purdue's followers were happy when Ward Lambert's netters ran rough-shod over the Indiana hardwood quintet, 47 to 13. The game that was to give the winner at least a tie for the leadership of the Big Ten conference was expected to be close from the opening whistle to the final gun, but it was never much of a contest, Purdue leading. 22 to 8, at halftime. The victory gave the Boilermakers undisputed leadership in the conference race, as lowa was upset by Minnesota. Indiana’s defense, which shone brightly against Michigan and Ohio State, was dazzled by the passing of Purdue's first-string lineup and Eddy scored five field goals, Cottom, Fehring and Lowery three each, and Shaver hooked in a quartet of twopointers, the first two of which seemed to demoralize the locals in the opening minutes. Purdue's shooting average was unusually high in spite of the fact coach Piggy Lambert used thirteen men and a team of substitutes in the last ten minutes. The team average on field goals was twenty out of forty-nine attempts, while Indiana was very low, hitting only three in forty-four attempts.

each star, the rivals are expected to be at their peak. The encounter will see Stecher and his famous scissors hold come in for a real test, for the former world’s champion will be pitted against one of the best skilled mat artists in the country. McMillen is recognized in many quarters as being on the road to the heavyweight title, while Stecher is making a desperate effort to regain the honors. Matchmaker Carter is backing up the McMillen-Stecher tussle with a strong supporting card of two bouts. In the semi-windup, Sol Slagel, “Kansas Giant,” will tackle Henry (Dutch) Piers, a flying hook scissors artist. Piers jumped into prominence recently by pinning Ray Steele in twelve seconds with the flying hook. Slagel is an ex-Kansas university grid star. The opening bout will see Dick Raines, “Texas Tornado,” pitted against Frank Speers, former Georgia Tech football hero. Speers, who is said to be one of the best grapplers in the southland, replaces Mayes McLain as Raines’ opponent. Kautsky Cagers Defeat Kellys With Stretch Murphy and Johnny Wooden pacing their mates the Kautsky A. C. quintet drubbed the Dayton (O.) Kellys, 26 to 17, in a pro cage tilt at the armory yesterday. After the quintets battled evenly most of the first half the Kautskys finally drew away to a 13-to-9 lead at the rest period. In the second frame Murphy and Wooden cut loose and the locals went out to a safe lead. Hosket was the individual star for the visitors.

Creighton university, runnerup to !
