THOMAS IN

GAME

SINCE 1921

PITCHED FOR YANKS, SENATORS

YLES THOMAS, the American Association’s newest manager, is not an out-and-out novice at directing a baseball club. . .. In 1936 he led Tiffin in the Ohio State

League to a pennant, and Tiffin

is a Toledo Mud Hen farm.

He served as coach for the Hens the last two seasons and was elevated to the driver's seat for 1939 when Fred Haney took over the Browns. Thomas broke into professional ball in 1921, going. to the New York Yankees after he was graduated from Penn State.-. . . New York farmed him to Hartford in the Eastern League and later to Reading in the International.

He then was with Toronto

for three years and during

1926, '27 and '28 remained with the Yankees.

with Hollywood in the Pacific Const League and was with St. Paul from 1933 to 1935, when he was sent to

Toledo acquired him later and after his arm failed a place was found for him at Tiffin.

Thomas proved especially

capable in handing young

players with Tiffin and he is expected to do well with the farm material sent to Toledo from Detroit.

A comparison made by Statistician William

B. Ruggles shows that the nocturnal batting averages for 1938, for the first time since the league went light-conscious nine years ago, were generally better than those made under the sun.

y Eddie Ash |Cathedral Victory Over Tech Lifts

Lid on Local Prep Basketball Season

By LEO DAUGHERTY

The proverbial lid has been hoisted now on the intra-city high school basketball dispute. In the feature game last night, Cathedral’s Irish maneuvered them-

“|selves into a 27-to-19 victory over

Tech under the Green's broad

rafters.

It was just a case of a fast, smart ball club against one which lacked speed and shooting, which is necessary to win one of these affairson the hardwood. The Irish were shifty. They were pretty good at hitting the iron hoop. Tech was pretty fast, and pretty tricky, but Jim Evans and Frank Buddenbaum, who came up from the football squad, couldn't hit the netting when a basket was pay. On the other hand, OSsthemier, Caskey and Mattingly had keen eyes on the rim, and they shot with good percentage. It was a fast ball game, and one

that the 2000 spectators liked to

watch. But there wasn’t anything spectacular about it. Tech, in the preseason dope figured to win, but the Irish pulled an upset. They're wont to do that sort of thing. The Cathedral kids all have their minds on Notre Dame, and they are inclined to pull the surprises that are pulled on the South Bend campus. The Irish were seldom in arrears. The score at the end of the first quarter was 10 to 4 in favor of the Cathedrals. They led, 14 to 7, at the half. And they went into the third quarter with a 20 to 13 edge.

Well, there wasn’t much to it but [Ju

a stalling, passing game after that.

The Cathedrals just kept: the ball e

away from the Techs. Bayne Freeman, the Tech coach, consumed enough chewing gum to make triplets out of the Wrigley twins on Chicago’s Michigan Ave. It’s a good thing there’s no grass around, or the blond mentor probably would pluck more during the course, of a game than Old Bessie and all of her children. The victory was Thanksgiving turkey for the Irish, but it was just side-meat for young Mr. Freeman and the Greenlies. They were doped to win, too, remember. For an opening night, there weren't s0 many people in the goldén — or iron — horseshoe. But then there were no prima donnas in the arena. Chuck Howard, who terrorized Tech’s football opponents, started the game at guard. The young

blond was out during the last quarter, and between catching breaths he remarked that the game ought to be played with the performers in cleats and pads. “Look at these silly kind of pants we wear, and these jerseys, and these soft shoes,” he mused. “Ah, I'm going to Purdue or Indiana, or maybe Illinois and play myself some football next year.”

Any one of the three could use the young man,

After all, it was a good show. Coach Joe Harmon of the Cathedrals didn’t think he’d win. Coach Freeman of Tech thought his chances were slim, too—but the cheer leaders made it a good pre-. holiday affair. They can pull a dull affair out of the doldrums. Tech'’s chief shouters were Keith Mullin, Floyd Ashton and Jesse Hillock. The Irish ace barkers were Bob Stinger and Bob Wolfe.

The Irish ‘can have cranberry

sauce with their turkey today. Tech will take it raw.

In a preliminary to the main]

round, Tech’s Green-and-White reserve squad turned the tables on a floor-shy Cathedral quintet, 15 to 10. The Big Green juniors forged ahead early in the game, weakened in the second frame, only to come back once more and finish with a safe margin.

A sizeable rabbit, too.

Bow and Arrow Hunters Get Little Game, Have Good Time

Several members of the load-aim-fire school of hunting were startled last week-end to discover that they

had competition from fellows who thought they could kill wild game with bows and arrows. The Robin Hoods, however, aren’t

having been at the sport for four years now. Although the archer-hunters are on the increase, there should be little cause for alarm—they don’t get much. That is, they don't get much game. They just have a lot of fun. ; Most of their hunting is confined to Brown County State Park and Pokagon State Park where those who hunt with guns are prohibited. © Among those are are “regulars” in the week-end hunts are A. E. Andrews, his datighter Marjorié, O. G. Lidikay’ of Linden, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Shields, Dr.

W. R. Morton, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Lincoln Jr., Nat Lay, Hartman BEgger, Donald Reich, Eugene Godfrey, Frances Patton and Harold Layne. The whole business started about four years ago when members of the Hoosier State Archery Association decided to stage a hunt, Later members of the Indianapolis Archery Club joined them and they've been gathering more in all along. Hunting with bow and arrow isn’t easy. In rabbit hunting there isn’t much to shoot at except a sudden swish in the brush. And birds! Three cold-numbed fingers and aching legs don’t help much in pulling back a 50-pound tension on a bowstring and aiming at a covey. of quail. And then there's an added difficulty. Retrieving. Not retrieving game so much as retrieving the are rows that missed their mark.
