By Eddie Ash Southport Has 258-Pound Boy Grappler n a u Joe Sprinz’ Baltimore Record Listed

'JMIE lads of Southport high school don’t live in the big city, but they have a lot of fun. The suburban school is having a big year in athletics and it recently added wrestling to its sports calendar and Coach Chaney’s Cardinal squad of grapplers will compete in the state interscholastic mat tournament at Indiana university today and tomorrow. Athletic leaders at Southport think the exercise that goes with wrestling will benefit the boys who are football warriors, riors. Members of the squad range in weight from 100 pounds to 258—and you’ll have to admit that a prep athlete weighing 258 is not found in every high school over the land. He is Paul Cross. The lightest grappler is Louis La Pack, 100. Southport was undefeated in football last fall and the lone flaw on the record of the Cardinals was a scoreless tie with Columbus. In basketball this season the Cardinals won the Marion county championship (exclusive of Indianapolis teams), and now are gunning for state sectional honors. The Cardinal school also supports baseball and track. Two of its former students are prominent big league players, Chuck Klein, National League batting champion, and Oral Hildebrand, American League pitcher. a a a nun SIXTEEN states will be represented on the Indianapolis baseball club thia year. The largest province, Texas, will have the well-known Vernon (G. Wash) Washington, outfielder, to uphold it during all clubhouse and hotel room discussions. The smallest state, Rhode Island, will have the flashy Johnny Cooney, also a fly chaser, to act as its mouthpiece. The other fourteen states represented by one or more Tribe pastimers are Missouri, Alabama, Kansas, Ohio, Nebraska, Colorado, Tennessee, California, Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, New York, lowa and Indiana. Dudley Lee, shortstop, lives in Palms, Cal., and Frank Sigafoos, second sacker, resides on Palms avenue in Sarasota, Fla. Vincent Sherlock, new infielder, lives on Arkansas street in Buffalo, N. Y. A1 Butzberger, pitcher, is a villager and hails from Bay Village, O. John Riddle, catcher, originally out of Georgia, has switched from Rebel to Yankee and is now a Hoosier by adoption with Indianapolis as his home. s a a a a a JOE SPRINZ, the backstop, who returns to the Indians in the deal that sends jovial Tom Angley to Rochester in the International League, turned in a better record with Baltimore last year than was thought at first. He smacked the horsehide for .292 in seventyseven games. He collected seventy-four hits in 253 times at bat, the blows including eight doubles, three triples and one homer. He batted in thirty-five runs and scored twenty-six. Moreover, the St. Louis German topped the International catchers In fielding with a percentage of .991. Manager Killefer of the Indians believes Sprinz will prove the more valuable from the standpoint of spirit. Angley is inclined to take baseball as more or less of an outing and jest, and always has been slow to come out of batting slumps. There's a chance, of course, that Tom will land back in the American Association. Rochester is a member of the St. Louis Cardinal chain, the same as Columbus, and the Cardinals make a practice of shifting their players around like nobodv s business. Tom Angley batted .303 for the Indians last year in ninety-two games. He collected ninety-three hits in 307 times at bat, including twelve doubles, three triples and seven home runs. He batted in forty-seven runs and scored thirty-five. His fielding percentage was .973. a a a a a a OFFICIALS for the heated basketball battle between Butler and Notre Dame at the Fairview fieldhouse tomorrow night will be John Schommer of Chicago and Frank Lane of Cincinnati. The doors will open at 6:30. Main floor seats will be 80 cents and balcony seats 40 cents. While Schommer and Lane will be the actual game officials, there will be thousands of unofficial officials on hand roosting in the crowd downstairs and in the balcony. The unofficial officials don't usually get going until the score tightens, but when they do get going at a Butler-Notre Dame fracas it’s better entertainment than the big circus that John Ringling puts out. Basketball fans are coming from all over the state to see the Saturday night battle here and Butler authorities will be ready to stack 'em in. The local Bulldogs have enjoyed a splendid rest and are at their physical peak. The Notre Dame sharpshooters played on Wednesday night, but were not pressed in that tilt and are expected to be on fine edge when they trot out on the Butler floor. a a a a a a CHARLES D. STENGEL, new manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Is originally out of Kansas City. Mo. He was called "K. C.” during the early days of his baseball career and this nickname eventually became ‘•Casey.” He has yet to explain how the imprint of a shoe got on his living room ceiling several years ago. following a night out with the boys. The room was in order on the morning after and no unaccounted for shoe was found in the house. Since there was no loose shoe and no clew, the mystery never was solved. Casey’s best explanation was that a man on a flying trapeze had followed him home.

Kizer Stays With Purdue By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 23.—Returning yesterday from Chicago, where he addressed a Purdue alumni group, and where he is said to have made a final decision on the matter. Noble Kiser. Purdue athletic director squelched rumors that he will leave the Boilermaker school to coach football at Ohio State. He will, however, conduct a summer football school at the Buckeye institution. Kizer is thought to have conferred with L. W. St. John, Ohio State athletic director, in Chicago, and finally refused whatever offer was made to him to leave Purdue for Ohio State. Kizer said last night that he thought an attack by Purdue alumni on Ohio State for trying to woo him from Lafayette was unjustified, stating that Buckeye advances were legitimate and made through regular channels.

Purdue May Clinch Title By United Press CHICAGO. Feb. 23.—Four Western Conference basketball games are scheduled tomorrow night. In one of which Purdue is expected to move nearer the Big Ton title. Purdue leads the race with seven victories and one defeat, followed by Wisconsin with five victories and three defeats. Tomorrow night's schedule: Michigan at Purdue, Illinois at Indiana, Wisconsin at Ohio State, and Minnesota at lowa. Purdue can insure a tie for the title tomorrow night by defeating Michigan, provided Wisconsin loses to Ohio State. In that event Purdue could lose its remaining three games and still tie for the championship. If Purdue wins tomorrow night and defeats Wisconsin Monday night the Boilermakers will clinch the title. GREYHOUNDS IN ACTION Indiana Central's basketball team will get back into action for the first time since it was defeated by Ball State, when it meets the N. C. A. G.

Last night in Hagerstown the local team gave an exhibition in the Miller A. C. gym. One Miller A. C. lad won a title and a place on the local team. He is Harry Christy, who lives near Richmond.

Gates also is a member of the Legion committee. They will arrive at the Allertou in Chicago tomorrow night, and will spend Sunday resting and sightseeing.
