TROOP 9 DEFEATS MAROONS Troop Nine. Hammond's crack Scout Ave. still sticks on top by routing tho Maroons in a return gam-. The earn" was fought uphill all tho way with the exception of the last few minutes when Fromm ami Wilhelm. kept dust'.tis off the rim with shots from all angles. Halsey was always where the ball was. breaking up many passes while Hannauer stuck to his man like tho ex-kalser sticks to Holland chopping wood. Tho Maroons got off to a pood start when Vaughn sunk the first basket and a free throw by Potts putting, them three points to the Rood. Nine soon tied it from a free throw and a basket by I.Ialuey. Tho half n.t-a with another two points chalked up to Vaughn's credit placing- the scouts on the short end of a 5-3 score. In the second half after much loose t'Sam work Troop Nine reinforced by Wilhelm practically put the i;ame on ice by five baskets in succession, fromm making- four with Wlltimm sinking; the la-st one through the laced iraperioa. Every one playod true to form. Kuehl giving the crowd some ,ood floor work. It may also be men"ned that Slavin was out of the rgu- ! .r lineup duo to a. boil on the back of his neck.

TO AMERICA

Britain's Little Champion is Flyweight. Not Discouraged Over His Knock Out at Hands of Pete Herman May Seek Bout with Joe Lynch. 1JY JACK VKIOCK (STAFF COSPL3"0NDFNT I. N. SERVICE! NiCW YOKK. March IS. Jimmy Wilde isn't UiscuraK'.l over hi a knockout at the hands of Pete Herman. Hritain's Utile flyweight onampion fee's that lie has an "out." as H rman was topheavy in the Ivondon bout, an 1 doesn't heli. e liis defeat will be held against hitti on this side as a fistic attraction. As a result he plans to return to tho I'nited States in the near future to seek bouts with America's best, and he may even leave his calling card at Champ Joe I.ynch's residence. When Herman and Wilde met n' little Priton weighed 1'S pounds. Herman, who had agreed to make 118 was several pounds overweight, and at tho outset Jimmy rebelled, declaringhe would not go on. As there was no opponent to substitute for Wilde, however, the promoters prevailed on the flyweight champion to take Herman on regardless of the weight and he did so with disastrous results. Wilde is the only real champion Knglaml has had in a fistic division for some time and he made such a favorable impression when he visited this country last year that his return will, no doubt, be welcomed by the boxing fans and he should be. able to find plenty of opponents. While we have Pete Herman in mind it is timely to note lure that Joe Lynch, who dethroned the New Orleans boy. stands leady and willing to give him a return bout at any time. Kddie Meade, manager of Lynch, pens us these lines to substantiate Joe's promise to Herman before they were matched at Madison Square Garden: "On December 23, the day following Joe I.ynch's victory over Pete Herman for the bantamweight championship of the world. Joe and myself stated that Herman would be granted a return match providing he defeated Jimmy

Wilde in the London bout. What Herman accomplished with Wilde is history now. "The new champion up to date has participated in several ring eontesca. hut is ready to no to the post with the ex-titleholder any time that Tex Kickard or any otler leading promoter ca u sign the two boys to a set of articles to a fifteen-round contest to a decision. "Zn a conference at the Garden u few days ago between Mr. Kickard and myself I was offered a chance to Ins Lynch with Midget .Smith or U-.y Moore to a decision at the Garden, but I declined the offer as Lynch has requested me to get Pete Herman for the first decision contest he. appears in, as he wants to convince, the skeptical that he is a real champion and one who stands ready to defend his title whenever he is called upon. "I chased Sammy Goldman, manager of Pete Herman, for three years before Goldman would consent to box Lynch to a decision. After Herman lost the title he. went on record as saying that he would chase Joe over the continent until he was given a return match. Herman can save a lot of money, time and railroad fare, as Lynch stands ready to meet the exchamp i' n any time. "As numerous parties have asked me if Joe would ever box Pete in a decision contest I ask you to kindly publish this letter and let tho fans know the Lynch intends to set a precedent as champion. This Is the first time in the history of the' boxing game that a champion ever agreed to give the defeated opponent a chance to redeem himself insjde. of four months." EX-SOX OUT FOR GOOD; GARRY CINCINNATI, O., March IS. August Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati lteds. when informed of the decision in Chicagro to drop indictments against the White Sox players, said: "Although the cases against the White Sox players were dismissed, they never will play in organized baseball again. Mr. Comlskey has formally discharged from his club all his players who were Indicted. It-insr barred from the game, I certainly think, is a severe punishment." he Fa

3 CLAIMANTS FOR STATE HONOR

IN BASKETBALL The state college basketball cnamplonshlp is like the conference championship, a matter of dispute, which will probably not be settled. Wabash, Purdue and Del'auw all claim the honor, while f c r the first time In years Notre I'ame Is not a contender. Indiana 1'niversity had a strong team, but it lost twice to Purdue and won once from leiauw in the only three state games it played. The Wabash claim is this: The Little Giants beat Purdue twice by decisive score;;, beat DePauw 22 to 19, and to 'k over Notre Dame 2' to 15, and met and cleaned every other college in the state with the exception of Indiana. They, however, lost t lie last two games of the season to Notre batii'l ami Del'auw by the same score, arid a one-point margin, .11 to .10. Purdue's claim is this: The- Iloilermakers beat Indiana twice and took a (fame from Noire Dame and Del'auw. Put they lost twice to Wabash. I'el'auw's claim is this: Th- Methodists won once from Wabash and Notre Dame, and lost to Wabash, Purdue and Indiana. A post -season tame with Wabash was .suggested by the Scarlet to decide the tie, but the Del'auw authorities balked, for the reason that a member of the team was ill. Practically all the sport writers of the state concede the title to Wabash. Del'auw's claim Is slim, for they lost lo Wabash, Purdue and Indiana, and their single victory over Wabash Is inconclusive. Purdue's decisive defeat by the Little Giants picks the latter as really the champions of the lot. Of the games played between tho leaders. Wabash played four and won three; Purdue played three and won one; ari l Del'auw played three and won one. Tho Little Giants are going strong this year, The Scarlet relay teams won the one mile college relay at the Illinois relay carnival last week for tho third consecutive year, a Waba.-h man won the state oratorical comc.t last week; and the Wabash debate teams trained the decisions over both Franklin and Hutler In a triangle debate Saturday. The Crawfordsville college has also produced another winner this year in the Glee Club, which Is hearlded as the beat in years. The club appears In Hammond, March 25, at the First Presbyterian church. Missouri Boxing Bill Now Up to Governor JLFF1.USON CITY.
