THE TIMES. a

BASKETBALL NOW HAS THE FLOOR FOR

Commencing this week basket ball (loors throughout the reprion will be kept warm, as the variou3 hltfh schools of the newly organized basket ball association will start active training-. The fall sport has been taken up with much vim and the present Indications point that the basket tossers will put In a busy and interesting season. The association is composed of seven teams Hammond. Whiting. Crown Point, East Chicago. Oary. Ixiwell and Hobart. On account of Crown Point's not having: a football team this year, the basket ball plajers grot an early start and have had at least three weeks of hard practice. Although the Hub team is composed of a lot of r.ew material a fast team is now betn trained with the expectation of beinK among th top notchers at the close of the season. The Hammond hitch school quintet has been set back considerable on account of bein unable to secure a suitable hall to practice In. Several places are in sierht, hut as yet nothing has been done. Captain Smith Is confident

of a fast squad this year, which will be composed of old stars and a lot of new material to choose from. Arrangements are beiiiR made for the class championship series, which will start next Monday. Word comes from Wh'ttner. East Chicago and Gary th;:t fast teams are being developed there and while Iowell and Hobart have not taken much interest In basket ball during the past two years, prospects look brighter this year, with the hope that they will be able to send crack teams on the floor. The hirrh school association schedule will not start before the 1st of January, Ktvins the quintets plenty of time to round Into fast shape. While the Lake county higrh schools will be busy scrapping for championship honors, city teams are being formed In Crown Point, Hammond, Whltlnfr and Gary in view of forming a league. So far arrangements are running smoothly and basket ball fans can look for plenty of excitement this winter.

bring him into the country. If any rash syndicate sought to use him the public would hoot Johnson off the streets, and absolutely refuse to attend a fight in which he was a principal. "The government, through Chief Secretary Frederick Flowers, has approved my action, ending up in a long statement with these words: " 'There is very little objection to boxing as it is now conducted, but we do not want another Johnson session.' " The white heavyweight battles to be staged by Promoter Tom McCarey inside the next month will develop the man who will b.j accepted as the world's champion. One week from tonight he will have the old warrior, Jim Flynn, boxing Luther MoCarty at Vernon. Al Palzer, the New Yorker, who meets the winner of the Flynn-McCarty go. will arrive in this city next Sunday, and be introduced in the ring on

Tuesday night.

TIGERS RELEASE THREE PLAYERS Detroit. Mich., Dec. 3. By releasing Catchers Kocker and Onslow and First Baseman Onslow to Providence, President Navln of the Tigers has only started the general cleanup tha he promised. It is said an entirely now team, with Cobb, Crawford and Stanage as a basis, Mill be organized before the team goes south in February. It appears that Pitcher Mullin and other veterans will be traded. Mullin wants to get away from Detroit. Navin and Jennings will go to the annual meeting of the American league at Chicago a week from next Wednesday, ready to make trades of all kinds.

Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 3. Jack

Johnson has been as evidently elimi

Australia Is the first to approve the American action against Johnson. In a personal letter to H. "M. "Walker, Hugh D. Mcintosh, the Sydney promoter, goes on record as follows:' "Johnson is forever exiled from the Australian ring. I have turned him down on account of his disgraceful conduct in Chicago. "The current of popular feeling in Australia is so strong against this fellow that no other promoter would dare

New York, Dec. 3. John McOraw may be a real baseball magnate before the championship season of 1913 opens. It was reported today that McGraw, in addition to h'J- duties as manager of the Giants is likely to be elected president of the New York club to succeed the late John T. Brush. At present the business affairs of the club are In the hands of H. N. Hempstead, vice president, and R. H. McCutcheon, treasurer, neither of whom

has had any practical experience in

professional baseball. Mr. Brush's will

is to be probated in a few days, after

which there will be an election in which McGraw may cut an important figure.

It is known that before Mr. Brush

died he so arranged matters that Mc

Graw would remain in charge of the

Giants for a long term, perhaps for

life. Furthermore as a reward for McGraw's loyalty ar.d the many successes he has had on the ball field Mr. Brush, it is said, expressed a wish that the little manager should be consulted on

all matters pertaining to baseball politics. In view of these things McGraw's friends believe that Messrs. Hempstead and McCutcheon, with the consent of Mrs. Brush, will ask McGraw to accept the presidency. According to section 60 of the National league's constitution a manager or player under contract cannot represent his club at the league sessions. But there is nothing to cover the case of a manager-president.

EUROPEAN RIDERS TRAIN FOR RACE New York, Dec. 3. The five European cyclists entered In the six-day race, who arrived Sunday, took the "kinks" out of their sea legs today in two long workouts at the Newark club room. Physically these foreign riders shape up better than any of the. European contingents brought here in previous years. Oscar Egg, the long distance champion of Europe, has never competed in a six-day race. Marcel Berthet, also of France, looks speedy, as do the Suter brothers of Switzerland. Frank, the elder, being just 22, while his brother Paul, is but 19 years of age. The foreigners and all of the American riders will compete in the $1,000 indoor sprint championship, the heats of which will be run Friday, and the semi-finals ano finals Saturday night.

JIM FLYNNTO UMPIRE Omaha. Neb., Dec. 3. It is reported here that Jim Flynn, the flsthter, who is to meet Luther McCarty Dec. 10 in Los Anjreles, will become an umpire in the Western baseball league. It Is said Tip O'Nell Is considering the appointment. Flynn knows much baseball, has played, and understands the fine points of the national parj. He is a fan, and would have liked to have played professional ball, but Ihe flg'ht game "got him." Flynn is thought to have a constitution sufficiently rugged to handl the Western leaguers through

a baseball season.

NAME BADGER CAPTAIN TODAY Madison, Wis., Dec. 3. This afternoon, when Wisconsin's championship football players &rn the moleskins for the final time this year to pose for the squad picture, the captain of next year's team will be elected. On the eve of the election the probable choice of the players Is in doubt. The general opinion is that Ofstie, right end; Tandberg. full back, and Butler, right tackle, stand the best chance. It is considered likely that a dark horse may enter the race. The complexity of the affair is attributed to the fact that no man stood out above the rest this year. Tandberg. Ofstie and Butler have been regulars for two seasons. A meeting of the athletic board is scheduled for today to act on the proposals of the "W" committee. Sentiment among the students is opposed to limiting the letters as proposed by the committee. Tom B. Jones, the new varsity track coach, is ex

pected here soon to take chnrge of the

track squad.

ARMY-NAVY AGREEMENT ENDS Annapolis. Md-, Dec. 3. When the football game between the army and navy eleven at Philadelphia ended last Saturday the agreement covering the playing of these contests terminated, and negotiations for its continuance or a new plan will besjin shortly. While there is every reason to believe the annual match will continue indefinitely, the athletic authorities of the two schools now will have to henew discussion of the date for playing future games. This question nearly caused a break three years ago. Representatives of the Naval academy favored the Saturday after Thanksgiving, while the army authorities insisted on the Saturday before. Finally a compromise was reached whereby the army's date was selected last year and the navy's this season.
