S P O R TS iiLiiirHIGHLY INDIGNANT

Sporting Kdltor Times: In order to do Justice to the citizen. and high aohool basket ball team of Lowell, we deem It necessary to state for The Tikxs readers the facts concerning- the b&sKet ball game played between Lowell high school and the Crown Point high school Friday evening, December 12. The officials for the game were Lew is Shuet of Lowell and Coach Blue of Crown Point. During the first half of th gamw Mr. Shuet refereed without any complaint or protest from either team. The score being 27 to 13 in favor of Lowell high school. At the be-fc-fcalng of the last half of the game it was evident that Coach Blue was partial to his own team, wmch was probably due to his having coached them and not being able to see their foals. Several fouls were called in quick succession on the Lowell team, which neither the umpire, the team or the audience could see. There was no protest made, however, until it was evident that this was going to continue. Then it was demanded that both teams te given a square deal. It is only justice to Mr. Blue to say that for the last 15 minutes his decisions were Impartial. The score at the end of the last half was 47 to 24 In favor of Lowell. . There was no protest during or after the game by the Crown Point team, nor there cannot be any Just protest by

EVERS HURRIES TO PHY HAKE

But Cubs' Manager Finds Club Head Dares Not Enter Ebbets-Hernnann Dispute; Archer and Pierce Here.

Johnny Evers leaped oft the Twentieth Century yesterday afternoon stepped into a taxi, dashed to the Corn Exohange Bank building, shot up ten floors and burst into the headquarters of the Chicago League Baseball club, whatever that means, and announced "I'm here," as he deposited his hat and overcoat at the entrance to President Murphy's private office. It was the first meeting of the west side chieftains since Murphy returned from Europe. Evers explained that while at home In Troy he saw in the New york papers that his presence in Chicago was desperately required ty the Tinker enigma. Therefore he shipped his prescloak of neutrality that It behooves h,m to wear " f e Nationai league Doaro. oi airptim , nmtu is likely to be compelled to sit In executive session on the Ebbets-Herr-i man dispute, i In the meantime Joe Tinker is waiti,n. His patience may be rewarded by mlAND DRAWS LONG SUSPENSION Because of his failure to give a "satisfactory performance" In his tenround bout with Jack Britton at Milwaukee on December 8, Packey McFar land, the clever south sicie ngnier, yesterday was suspended by the Wisconsin boxing commission for one year from taking part in any boxing contests in the Badger state. Notice of the commission's action was announced in Milwaukee, and when McFarland learned of the edict he declared he was sorry he was "In wrong" with the boxing authorities, but that he would not have cared if he had been suspended for life. Packey said he would not starve, and he does not anticipate, any trouble when he signs for matches in other states where boxing is controlled by commissions. McFarland Is f the opinion Britton should have been punished as well as himself. Packey said Jack would not

much gold, silver and bank notes, and J then it may be just the thing he I shouldn't do. But no one can tell at this time and waiting for the others to j act sf ems the best plan. However, Tinker holds the key to the entire sit- i uation In the hollow of his hand. If! he says he will not report at the Brooklyn training camp the deal must necessarily be off. Joe has said that he would play only with Chicago or ; Pittsburg. Fred Clarke's offer was so i small that It received no consideration , from Garry Herrmann, and Murphy's j proposition for a trade is still open, provided the Redland magnate doesn't want hts entire ball club. And this brings out the reason why Tinker is silent. He Is sure to get the $10,000 bonus If he reports to the Dodgers. Ebbets is paying this, not the Reds. They are merely receiving $15,000 for Tinker and not $26,000 and giving him $10,000 of it. While Tinker prefers Chicago, he realizes that if the Cubs and Reds could negotiate for his services it is likely that Murphy would make a trade in players only and Joe would lose the bonus, to say nothing of working for less money, perhaps, as Brooklyn Is extremely anxious to have him in its lineup ahd is undoubtedly willing to go the limit. fight but continually covered up, thus making the contest look bad. The Irishman asserted he tried his best to make a good fight, and If the opportunity had presented Itself he would have trie dto stop Britton. - Those who saw the contest and who have seen McFarland in other matches said after the Britton contest that they never saw Packey try so hard to put an opponent away with one punch. It might have been the south sider's eagerness to land the sleep producer that made htm miss so often, and the general opinion is that he alone should not be blamed for the unsatisfactory exhibition. McFarland undoubtedly aroused the commission's ire when he refused to weigh in at the appointed hour, 3 o'clock. Packey insisted he had been matched to fight Britton at catchweight and it was not necessary for hi mto step on the scales. The commission Insisted that he weigh in order to find out whether he was ten pounds heavier than his opponent. According to the boxing rules of 'Wisconsin, no fighter of any class except the heavyweight division: must be more than ten pounds heavier than his opponent.

He danced and cavorted and lipped Walters in the face at will pivoted him frequently and gynned all the while. Walters on the other hand was desperately In earnest but seemed . untitle to locate his shifty opponent with decisive blows. Neither one landed with any show of force and the house was in roars of laughter most of the time mingled with hisses of disgust at what would undoubtedly have proved a good exhibition had Kelly shown the same disposition to fight as did Walters. Walters' face was rather red and swollen at the finish but otherwise neither man was marked. Kelly prevented any effective infighting by a disposition to hold In the early part of the fight, depending on blows in the breakaway to count for hSm. GRIDIRON CAPTAINS IN TROUBLE Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 17. This is a bad year for football captain-elects in this Bectton. The eligibility of three of them has been questioned, and two already have been disqualified from playing next fall. Dick of Iowa and Steuwe of Kansas, who recently were elected to lead their football teams next fall, have been declared ineligible. The athletic boards secured evidence to show that each of them had played three years. Towle of Nebraska, the third captain-elect to have his eligibility questioned, has yet to learn his fate. The faculty members of the Cornhusker board have his case under consideration.

PERHAPS the most important of the "additional rules" suggested at the annual convention of the iA. A. U. here today is that dealing with the scoring for a point trophy and how it shall be decided In case- of a tie. The scoring shall be on a basis of 6, 3 and 1 for firsts, seconds and thirds, respectively, according to the plan now proposed. Should two or more clubs tie for a trophy the club with the most firsts shall be declared the winner, and should it happen that there might be a tie the club with the most thirds can claim the trophy. Events not on the program cannot count, neither can novice contests or closed competitions.

Tener, a pitcher, out of a game. That was many years ago. But some players will go a long way to get even with an umpire. JIM THORPE has handed out some advice to his big brother Tom, who has entered Carlisle at the age of 14. Jim has advised his kid brother never to turn professional. It sure would be awful if the kid turned professional and got $5,000 or $6,000 a year playing ball. DAYTON (Ohio) has signed a catcher named Malcolmson, who is six feet two inches tall and is 21 years old. He probably will be a rival for Larry Mc-

Lean if ever he gets into the major league. He is a fair batter, but owns a good arm and is aTgood fielder. THE 6UPERBAS have eigned Lawson Robertson, coach of the Irish-American A. C. of New York to make the spring training trip. Robertson's duty will be to get all the possible speed out of Robinson's athletes. The new coach will report late in February. THE performances of expert swimmers are of especial interest Just now because of the big water carnival being arranged for the Panama-Pacific exposition in 1915. It is then planned to gather the fastest swimmers in the country and it begins to look as if Ernest Smith, the 17-year-old fish of the University of California, who has been showing easterners some stunts within the past two weeks, would give "eastern and western stars a great fight.
