By Eddie Ash
AFTER COMPLETING deals for four players—two pitchers, an outfielder and an infielder—Owen J. Bush and Frank E. McKinney, the new owners of the Indianapolis Indians, were due home today from the minor
league convention in Jacksonyille, Fla. On Monday, President Bush hopes to make additional deals at
the major league sessions in Chicago. .
. The new owners are
pleased with their first efforts to rebuild the local ball club, and now that they are warmed up to the task the Tribe fans may be assured that other transactions are to follow in rapid-fire order. It is reported Bush has decided to give a Saturday “break” to the ball players, umpires and sports writers by playing summer Saturday games in the afternoon instead of under the lights at night
hr *
and it probably will work out all right, although league
statistics show that night games on Saturday outdraw afternoon at-
tractions.
But the players and umpires don’t get their proper rest for the Sunday double-headers when they are kept on the jump into the
late hours on Saturday nights.
Price Tag on Veterans Is Increased
THE PRICE has been “upped”
on veteran ball players. .
Columbus reports it paid $5000 for 34-year-old Pepper Young, sec-
ond sacker, who has been around minors many moons. Club owners hesitate to gamble known to the baseball trade as “draf
and about in the majors and
good money on young talent, t bait.”
Veteran club owners and managers remember 1917 and ’18, when
the younger players were here today and gone tomorrow. The player shortage became so acute in
1918 that the American
Association closed its gates and called it a season around July 1.

Bulldogs Open Net Season
With Franklin
Grizzlies Have One Victory and 2 Losses
Time—Main
p.m. nary, Vp. m.
me, 8:15 tler Fie
ace: Bu Coach Paul D. “Tony” Hinkle will launch his 16th Butler basketball season tonight when he sends his Bulldog quintet against the Franklin College Grizzlies in the Fairview Fieldhouse. The Blue and White starting five will include two seniors, two juniors and a lone sophomore. However, Coach Hinkle may alter this combination prior to game time. The Baptists, coached by Roy Tiliotson, come to the local fort with three games behind them. Thursday night on their home court they downed a scrappy Anderson College five in an Indiana Collegiate Conference game, 46-35. Previously the Grizzlies were defeated by Loyola of Chicago, 52-31, and Notre Dame, 49-30. Tonight's game will be the fourth in ten days for Franklin, since DePauw follows Butler on the schedule Tuesday.
Indianapolis Star
Coach Tillotson will depend largely on a “home town” boy, Louis Leerkamp. Leerkamp formerly captained the netters of Washington High School, and has been with his present coach as a varsity player for three years. The Grizzly leader will operate from a forward post, with Dick Frazell as his running mate at the other forward position. Frazell was a member of South Side of Ft. Wayne's 1938 state prep champions. Paul “Footsie” Hendrix will hold down the opening pivot job for Franklin. The six-footer from West Baden, Ind., scored 11 points against Anderson, using his portside shots with uncanny accuracy. At guards Coach Tillotson will start Johnny Duncan and Roy Grefe. Coach Hinkle has not lost his technique of evasion. Although he did narrow his 30-man squad to 15 earlier this week, he made no committments when asked about a starting lineup. “I've got too many boys who lack experience,” Hinkle said, “and the only way I can test their game ability is to alter the lineup until I find the best combination.”
Shakedown on Starters
Judging by his favored drill five, the Butler net instructor is due to start a group which survived the “shakedown” earlier in the past week. This reorganization promoted Co-captain Elwood “Woody” Norris and Bob Fletcher as starting forwards, Jim Baumgartner at center, and Jim Deputy and Ernest Tidrow at guards. Such a combination would leave Co-captain Wilbur Schumacher and Glenn Miller, previously favored starters, on the bench to form the nucleus of a “shock troop” five. This would find Schumacher and Bill Hardy, former Shortridge netter, at the forward posts, Miller at center, and Fred Hunckler and Harold Miller as guards.

DePauw Rolls
Over Hanover
DePauw, Rose Poly, Manchester, Wabash, Valparaiso and St. Joseph's survived in the six contests on last night's Indiana College Conference basketball card, and the state schools were slated to add four more hot battles to the program tonight. DePauw took its second victory in
two starts by overwhelming Hanover with a 30-point margain, 53-23, last night. The DePauw cagers opened their season with a triumph over Rose Poly Tuesday night. Rose Poly’s five, however, bounced back from the DePauw defeat last night to trim Earlham, 46-31. Led by Bill Kniptash who racked up 16 markers, Rose Poly’s Engineers, overcame an early deficit to completely dominate the last half. Wabash contributed further to the downfall of the Oakland City Oaks last night by winning, 45-35, but the Oaks showed more fight than in previous contests, where they have been pushovers for other state colleges, mainly Indiana Central.
Even on Goals
The Oaks held Wabash to even terms from the floor but lost ground from the foul line. Ray Greve led the Wabash scoring with 20 points. Valparaiso rode to a 34-24 {riumph over Elmhurst’'s invaders. Taylor University, on the crest of three straight victories and a recent triumph over Huntington College, met its match last night in Manchester, submitting to a scoring onslaught that left the Taylor five 59-35 losers. In the only out-of-state tilt on the schedule, St. Joseph's went to Chicago Teachers College without its high-scorer, Neal Mosser, but edged out a closely-pressed victory, 37-35. Indiana Central’s Greyhounds will seek its fifth consecutive triumph tonight, invading Bloomington, Ill, to meet Illinois Wesleyan. Central Normals quintet will open its season as hosts to Anderson College. Central will start’ an all-senior five, Concordia plays at Rose Poly and Notre Dame opens the season for St. Louis University at South Bend.

Tech Style Is Changed
There is a revolution underway in Tech basketball. A successful one it seems to date. New Coach Glenn Johnson is bringing a lot of strange ideas to the Big Green's gym. For one thing too much ball handling is out with him. He
wants drive and plenty of it. He is introducing an intramural freshman system which is pointed at latent talent. It is bringing a couple of hundred more boys out for the Hoosier sport. This is Coach Johnson's first year at Tech but he jsn’t new to Indiana basketball. Last year he coached Mansfield State Teachers College in Pennsylvania and previous to that handled several Eastern teams. Back in 1924 he mentored Bloomington High School. Before that it was Huntington College. So far this season the Green has won three straight contests which speaks well for Coach Johnson’s game since the rivals were Howe, Washington, a couple of city foes, and Kokomo, previously unbeaten. Additional strength was ready for the Green last night since three footballers from the unbeaten city champions, Dale Burries, James Stahley and Bob Meyers, had their ten required practices in. These boys have the drive the coach wants. Modern basketball is too much ball-handling and too little goalgetting, Johnson says. The squad is excellent defensively. He points out that when they get as good offensively as they are defensively things are going to happen on the East Side. The first ten contains six seniors, three juniors and one sophomore. Returning lettermen are Bob Evans, Robert Wilson, and James O'Mara. William Pease, whose scoring has been good in the early games, came up from last year’s reserves. Under Coach Johnson's freshman intra-mural set-up 18 teams are competing in a 153-game schedule. Already he has discovered several boys who didn’t come out for freshman basketball but are good enough to make the team. (B. F)
Three Knockouts In Turner Scraps
The opening elimination bouts of the annual City and County A. A. U. boxing championships tournament were staged last night at Turners Hall and the near-capacity crowd saw three knockouts scored during the night's milling. Two outstanding battles on the bill were the Sammy Allen-Melvin Huston lightweight fracas and a novice heavyweight slugfest which Albert McKinney won over John Weatherford. Allen displayed plenty of gameness after being saved from a sure knockout at the bell ending the first canto. The Pennsy PAL Club belter came back to stay the distance, although the nod went to Huston. Semi-final and final scraps are on tap for next Friday night, when the winners in the open and novice divisions will be decided. A number of the boys in the open divisions did not see action last night, but will don the gloves for the windup battles next week.
Last night's results follow: 135-Pound Novice — Bob Tansy. NorthC. knocked out Donald Carpenter, te C.

Basketball prepsters threw the double overtimes, triple overtimes,
Both heroes of last year’s tournament campaigns — Washington, the state champs, and Madison, the runnersup—protected unbeaten records this season by breezing to easy victories.
The Washington Hatchets, gathering momentum like a growing snowball, defeated a conference rival, Vincennes, 37-21, but the game was only an entree to the Hatchet encounter with Muncie Burris tonight, headlining game in the state-wide focus. Madison’s Cubs took their sixth straight, and looked strong enough in the process to battle Washington right down the stretch to the eclimactic finals again next March,
Five in a Row
However, Lawrenceburg was easy oppostion and Madison's “Big Bill” Lodge tallied 13 points in the 40-24 victory. It was the Cubs’ fifth win within the conference, and extended their record of never losing a game on their home floor since the new Brown gym was completed in 1939.
Cliff Well’'s Logansport Loganberries, who sunk for the first time last week to a formidable Lafayette team, dropped another last night, this time to Marion, 36-32. Marion displayed a quintet with a championship punch against the shortlegged boys of Wells’, An upset that was half-way expected by Hoosier observers was the Crawfordsville victory over Ft. Wayne South Side. The Athenians nosed out the South Side Archers 38-36 to verify advance predictions that Crawfordsville has a stakehorse in the race this year. The double overtime game was supplied last night by Frankfort’s Hot Dogs, who defeated a Muncie Central team that is finding it hard to win anything this season. Everett Case's Dogs came back to their original victory route after dropping from the undefeated ranks to Kokomo last week, winning in the second extra period, 31-28.
Triple Overtime
Greenfield and Knightstown made a maratnon of their game, but Greenfield finally came through to win 35-32 in the third overtime sessign. Individual honors last night went to Pete Mount, only a sophomore basketeer, who mugged the stage in the Lebanon-West Lafayette drama by personally accounting for 32 points of Lebanon’s 47-31 victory. Mount alone outscored the entire West Lafayette team by one point, sinking 13 field goals and making six out of nine free throws. Lafayette’s Broncos, ticketed as a crown contender, scored wild to defeat Richmond, 44-34, and Shelbyville downed Connersville in a con-ference-leader battle, 52-31. In other major decisions last night, Anderson regained its lost composure by sinking New Castle, 29-22: Columbus dropped Indianapolis Washington, 29-21; Tipton nosed out a stubborn Elwood five, 21-28; Martinsville stepped over Franklin, 42-27; Greensburg downed Rushville, 41-31; Greencastle beat Indianapolis Shortridge, 32-27; South Bend Central defeated Mishawaka, 30-28; Ft. Wayne North Side took La Porte, 25-23; Mitchell slipped past Salem, 26-25, and Goshen pulled a surprise win over South Bend Adams, 31-26. The gist of tonight’s battleground card can be summed up by the words “Muncie Burris versus the Washington Hatchets,” but other games on the schedule, enhanced in significance by last night's results, steal their share of the spotlight. Crawfordsville, fresh from its South Side win, invades the den of a rejuvenated Jeffersonville five. Martinsville plays at Shortridge, Valparaiso at La Porte, Brazil at Evansville Bosse and Ft. Wayne North Side at Sotuh Bend Riley.

Uncle Mike In a Fight
NEW YORK, Dec. 6 (U. P.).— One of the year’s banner battles was in prospect today as Promoter Herman Taylor of Philadelphia rallied his supporters for an attempt to smash Mike Jacobs’ alleged boxing monopoly. Taylor, charging Jacobs with trying to wreck his Philadelphia promotions, announced here last night that he will ask Congressmen James McGrannery and Leon Sachs of Pennsylvania Mike Jacobs to launch an official Washington investigation of Jacobs’ alleged leather-tossing trust.
The immediate cause of Taylor's war declaration was the refusal of Ray Robinson, sensational young New York Negro welterweight contender, to go through with a contracted roturn bout with Marty Servo of tue Navy at Philadelphia.

Manual, Park, Attucks Are Others to Win
Shortridge, Washington And Cathedral Fall
By BOB FLEETWOOD Ranking high in the parade of Hoosierland’s basketball today is Tech High School. Rolling along like their chame
pionship football eleven the boys in green chalked up their third straight victory last night in one of the state's biggest upsets. They edged out previously unbeaten Kokomo, 33 to 32, on an accurate foul shot. Other City fives didn’t fair so well. Shortridge lost to Greene castle, 32 to 27; Washington fell bee fore the powerful Columbus Bulle dogs, 29 to 21; unbeaten Warren Central added Howe to its growing list of victims, 28 to 24, and St, Mary’s dropped Cathedral, 39 to 37.
Other Victors
Names in the victory column were Manual, 44 to 17, over Broad Ripple; Crispus Attucks, 30 to 17. over Amboy, and Park, 24 to 16, over Ine diana University School. Tonight's games pair Martinse ville at Shortridge, Manual at Ben Davis, Washington at Southport, St. Paul's at Sacred Heart and Crispus Attucks at Goldsmith. In its torrid North Central Cone ference game with the Wildcats Tech won on Charley Maas’ chare ity toss in the last 18 seconds of play. Previously the Big Green had pulled ahead several times only to have the Campbellmen rally to tie the count at the half and at 33 to 32. Coach Glenn Johnson of Tech used only six men in gaining the third Greenclad victory of the sea= son. Maas with four fielders and four fouls led the offense. The Blue Devils lost their cone test in the final quarter after holde ing asthird period lead, 26 to 23. York of Greencastle sparked the Tiger drive with 13 points and the Satans’ center, Hunt, led the local five with seven,
Warriors Keep on Winning
Warren Central continued to pace the county fives as they eeked out a four-point victory over the Howe Hornets. Applegate’s two last period goals made the difference. Bob Houch with seven points was the top goal getter for the Hornets. Using its height to the best ade vantage the Redskins of Manual snapped their two-game losing streak with an impressive victory over Broad Ripple. Morris Berne stein and Bernard McIntosh with 12 points apiece, headed the Manual scorers and fine defense. Taking full command of the situa« tion in the fourth period the Bulle dogs walked away from a third period tie with Washington. Previously the Continentals had managed to battle on a equal basis but Elliot,
§ | Beatty and Stearmn were too much | for them in the final frame.
Al Oberfell’s last period rally fell just two points short as Cathedral lost their opener to St. Mary's. The big forward was good for five field goals and four fouls.

On the Block
By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—The first official major league baseball parties moved in from Florida today
at a swift pace, indicating possible player trades even before presidents of the two leagues call all hands together for their annual meetings on ‘Tuesday. Among the early arrivals, the St. Louis Browns were especially anxious to set up local headquarters. A proposal to raise the limit on night games from seven to 14 apparently faces a quick defeat in the leagues’ chambers and the Browns may want to peddle the highly negoti-
Quinn and outfielder Chet Laabs for players and cash. The Chicago White Sox apparently have given up all hope of nursing the anticipated slugging from Julius (Moose) Solters, reported on his way to the American Association, and dickered for Laabs during the minor league session at Jacksonville. Another rumor of several days’ standing had MacQuinn, Rudy York of Detroit and Hal Troskey of Cleveland switching jobs with the Browns benefitting financially.
