By Eddie Ash

NOW that Bill Brandt of the National League Service Bureau has resumed his job of dishing out the stove league fuel we'll pass some of it along to the fans... at least a “piece” involving nc-hit games that were wrecked by feeble batsmen. The National League had six one-hit pitching jobs en record last year. . On May 3 when Hank Gornicki, then of the Cardinals, bl anked the Phillies, 6-0, their lone safety was by Stan Benjamin, 235 for the season. Exactly one month later the Cubs made one hit off the Phillies’ Tom Hughes in losing, 7-0. . . . The hitter was Lou Novikoff, National League average .241, although Lou was anything but lamblike later at Milwaukee where he won the Association batting crown with .370, 7-0 decision, :i Philly’ s hitter this time was Dangerous Danny (205) Litwhiler, no lamb any day, and first man to hit a homer in every park in the ieague last vear. Lon Warnecke caught the Phils in a one-hit mood June 10. . . . The first man up in the first inning, Heinie (227) Mueller, struck their only safe blow. The next one-hit job was weaved around the Pirate bats Aug. 8 by Paul Erickson, Jimmie Wilson's tall nucleus of the coming Cub curving staff. , , . Bob Elliott smashed the spell in the seventh with a single to center. . . . Bob batted 273 for the year. Phil Masi, the Brave youth who wrecked Whit Wyatt's perfect game in Boston Aug. 17 with one out in the ninth and two strikes cn him, had 222 for the year. . . . Lonnie Frey’s double, the only hit off Red Sewell in his 4-0 win over the Reds Sept. 4, shouldn't probably, the game only went five innings. . Frey's blow was the only one longer then a single to shatter a no- hit game gll year, Collectively, the no-hit-spell-breakers batted 262 for the year, indicating that your bad news is more likely to come from the mediocre maulers than from the top crust sluggers.

Butler After 26th Straight

Butler University's basketball team goes after its 26th straight Indiana Conference victory tonight the hard way—at DePauw.

The Bulldogs have disposed of Franklin and Wabash already this season in conference play but expect their real trouble from the Tigers. DePauw is keyed for this game not only because Butler is an ancient and bitter rival but because it is the last game for Coach D. C. Moffett. The Tiger mentor is taking a leave of absence and W. E. Umbreit, freshman mentor, will take over the team. The “run, Bulldogs, run,” basketball of Coach Paul D. Hinkle thre® a scare into Marquette Saturday night but lost, 39 to 29, in the second half when the Hilltoppers found a fast break combination of their own. The Bulldogs held a one-point edge at the half, but the switch of Ray Kuffel to the pivot by Marquette proved Butler's undoing. The ex-forward turned in 11 points in the second half, MARQUETTE (39)

Horace Mann Nips at Heels Of Hatchets

Hammond Tech, 1940 Champ, in Select 10

By UNITED PRESS Gary’s Horace Mann quintet shot to second spot on the heels of the Washington Hatchets in this week’s high school basketball ratings,

while the Bedford Stonecutters dropped from the top 10 leaders to: make room for unbeaten Hammond Tech. Based on the won-and-lost record as a variable factor because of the holiday tournaments and unequal caliber of competition. this is the way they stack up: TEAM WON LOST Washington censassssns 13 0

Horace Mann ...eeeeees 12 Shelbyville ....ce0000ee 13

Evansville Central..... 10 Lafayette 9 Ft. Wayne Central..... 10 Marion .... Frankfort Madison .ieicivieeienee 12 Hammond Tech ...... 7

Why they are where they are: WASHINGTON: The Hatchets, briefly overtaken by Horace Mann last week, came back strong over the week-end to sink both Bedford and Mitchell. The Hatchets barely overtook Bedford in their 30-26 triumph Friday, after the Stonecutters had led all the way. Washington made 13 wins Saturday night, downing Mitchell, 53-20, in the 24th consecutive victory since last spring for Marion Crawley’s boys. HORACE MANN: The Horsemen added Crawfordsville and Lew Wallace to bring their string to 12 wins last week, Other northern coaches are beginning to admit the superiority of this Mann outfit. Shelbyville: The Golden Bears added Rushville and Greensburg in impressive fashion last week, and although Rushville was a set-up, Greensburg had been pressing the Bears closely for loop rights.

Evansville Central: Mark Wakefield’s boys romped easily over city opponent Bosse, 30-13, for their 10th victory. The Central five remains unbeaten.

Lafayette: A 29-25 licking to the quickly-rising Frankfort five gave the Broncos their first defeat last week, dropping them to fifth spot. Ft. Wayne Central: The Central menace, beaten by Evansville Central and Muncie Burris, picked up an easy 50-22 win over Decatur last week for No. 10 victory.

Marion: The Giants became the second state leader to fall victim to the rampaging Frankfort Hot Dogs, which brought their second defeat. Marion bounced back hard to down an improving Muncie Central squad in a week-end game for its ninth win.

Frankfort: Everett Case's five is gaining momentum for a rush at tournament honors. After a mediocre early season, the Hot Dogs surprised fans by sinking Lafayette and Marion both last week. Madison: In spite of the great record of 12 victories and only one loss, the Cubs have failed to prove what they can do against tougher competition. A 36-34 win over Aurova last week-end added prestige to the Cubs and made them virtually southeastern Indiana champs, but such weaker opponents as Corydon, Vevay, North Vernon, Scottsburg and Salem composing their list of victims. Hammond Tech: The former state champs sunk Gary Emerson and Whiting last week to bring their undefeated record to seven games.

In Pro Show

Don Budge . . . What's Wrong?

The win-or-you-don't-collect pro fessional tennis show, featuring Bobby Riggs, Don Budge, Fred Perry and Frank Kovacs, is coming to the Butler Field House, Jan. 22. Alexis Thompson, Pittsburgh sportsman who is promoting the show, has arranged through Frederick W." Hunt, president of the Central Indiana Tennis AssOciation, for a one-night stand. All the players are performing on a percentage basis and at the end of their tour the No. 1 ranking man will receive more than twice t amount won by the No. 4 man. The split is to run 36, 25, 21 and 15 per cent. After 10 shows Riggs is heading the field and surprisingly enough the “Clown Prince” of tennis, Kovacs, Is second. These two will be remembered here for their play in the Western Tournament at Woodstock last year. The veteran pros, Perry and Budge, are taking beatings at pres= ent from the recent amateurs but Perry, ranking No, 4, has fully ree covered from an injury which kept him out for some time and is ready to go. The eccentric Kovacs who mar« ried Virginia Wolfenden during the tournament here last year is the only member of the troupe who is not a former world's champion. Budge was the pre-tour favorite and should get moving before long,

NOTRE DAME, Jan. 12. — Frank Curran, 140-pound Notre Dame sophomore forward, makes up in agility what he lacks in size. In the Northwestern game, he faked big Don Kruger out of position repeate edly. During a time-out, Kruger took Curran by the arm and said: “Come here a minute, you. I at least want to see what you look like.”
