Cathedral’s Irish go after their 10th victory of the season and their sixth in a row this evening at Noblesville. Since losing to Shortridge, the Shamrocks have beaten Howe, Plainfield, Brownsburg, Silver Creek and Broad _ Rippl-. Coach Joe Harmon probably will send out Ott Hurrle, Kenneth Geiman, Al. Obergfell, Leo Barnhorst and Jim O’Neal as his starters.

From the Mailbag

Dear Backboard: I am still squawking about the Manual gym. I think that if mention is given it once in

awhile, our city fathers might do’

something. Manual never will have a team to compare with those of other city schools unless the Redskins schedule stronger competition. And no strong team will play the Redskins on a home-and-home basis, for which they scarcely can be blamed. So let’s put the heat on to get rid of that bandbox. MANUAL ROOTER.

Dear Backboard: I read Gumdrops’ letter about the city tournament and I think he is slightly prejudiced because Shortridge never has had a city championship. I suppose that if Shortridge had been victorious, the champ wouldn't be inferior. T agree, however, that the hottest team wins, but the best team is the hottest team since the winner usually plays three games over three days. It seems improbable that a team can be hot for three days and still be inferior to the other ctiy teams. One of the greatest advantages’

Bush Still the

Villain on Ice

Eddie Bush; former member of the Indianapolis Capitals who, went to the Providence Reds in an earlyseason trade, is still the American Hockey League's “bad man,” having spent 56 minutes in various penalty boxes this season. Two of the present Capitals are among the leaders in penalties, according to statistics released from the league office. Defenseman Buck Jones has been assessed a total of 45 minutes in penalties and Hal Jackson has been off the ice 34 minutes for rough stuff. The penalty stagistics in minutes:

Hockey Bruins Win 141in Row

By UNITED PRESS

The Boston Bruins stretched their current unbeaten streak to 14

_|straight games last night by dess feating the Chicago Black Hawks,

3-2. The win gave the Bruins a victory over every club in the Na-

2 tional Hockey League in their cur-

rent surge, marked the first time

>|this season that Boston had de-

feated Chicago on home ice and

g|carried them within four points of

the leading Toronto Maple Leafs. Chicago drew within one goal of tying the score midway in the third period but Boston's Woody Dumart scored what proved to be the winning goal less than a minute later.

The standings:

CHICAGO, Jan. 20 (U.P.).—Willie Hoppe, the master billiardist who returned to competition to defend his title after a serious attack of influenza, today engages his second

opponent in the world’s three-

cushion tournament after breaking two contest records in ‘his first ap-

pearance. He took Herb Peterson of St. Louis the jumps last night to defeat the newcomer to the billiards “world series,” 50 to 15, in 32 innings. Thus he tied the 1941 tournament record for best game and broke the previous records for time elapsed and low opponent's score, In addition, he scored a high run of nine, close to the tournament record of 11 held by Jake Schaefer Jr. of Chicago. Hoppe started. slowly, scoring only two points in the first nine imnings, just matching his opponent. He said he felt weak and the glare of the. low-hung lights bothered his eyes. Then he recovered his poise and began scoring while still holding Peterson almost scoreless. In the 19th inning Hoppe ran nine. The best Peterson could do was one run of three; in the 10th inning. This. was Hoppe’s 21st consecutive victory in world tournament play and placed him second in the 1941 standings behind three veterans who were tied with seven victories each and no defeats.

Hoppe Comes F From “Sickbed To Break 2 Tourney Marks

Jay Bozeman of Vallejo, Cal, joined Otto Reiselt, Philadelphia, and - Allen Hall of Chicago in the three-way lead when he beat John Fitzpatrick of Los Angeles, 50-35, in 44 innings. Arthur Thurnblad, Kenosha, Wis, defeated Irving Crane, Livonia, N. Y., 50-20, in 58 innings; Joe Moriarty, Chicago, beat Earl Lbokabaugh, Chicago, 50-36 in

1156 innings, and Paul Lewin of Chi-

cago defeated Clarence Jackson, Detroit, 51-41 in 63 innings.

Slugger Mize Is A Card Holdout

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 20 (U. P.). — Johnny Mize, slugging first baseman of the 8t. Louis Cardinals who led both leagues in home runs last season, today was a holdout following his rejection of a 1941 contract. Cardinal officials declined comment on their negotiations with Mize and with Pitcher Clyde Shoun, also reported to have rejected a proffered contract.

The negotiations lasted several hours and finally -broke up withotit an agreement on.salary terms.
