Navin, Defeated in Politics, Goes Into Baseball

The Republicans put Frank Navin, owner of the Detroit baseball club, Into the great national game. The Tiger magnate la a native of Michigan. At one time he aspired to a political career In that grand and glorious state and Bought the nominntlon for Justice of the peace on the Republican ticket. But he made the mlstake of not llnInR up the organIz . . . . . ... - firm rifninrl Tifm Tha qqM rtvo-onf vo. tlon hr.d other plans and another can didate and Navin was defeated. He announced that Just for that he would give up trying to climb the political ladder to the presidency and drown his sorrows in baseball. Navin was born in Adrian. Mich.. In 1871. Navin at first planned to seek fame as a lawyer. He studied law and passed the state bar examination in 1893. He began his baseball career as a bookkeeper in the offices of the Detroit club. He learned the game and salted his nickels. When the club was purchase! by Willam H. Yawkcy, rich lumberman, Navin soaked his last dollar in stock and became secretary of the club, which position ne held until 1908. Then Yawkey re tired from the presidency, and Navin stepped into his shoes. The greatest achievements in Nav in's career were his signing of Tyrus Kaymond Cobb .super player, and Hughie Jennings, the man who led the team to three pennants in a row, WEDNESDAY MAY BE LAST CHANCE TO SEE KEWPIES IN ACTION Probably the last chance to get to see the Camera Shop Kewpies will be afforded local fans Wednesday night, when the lads stack up against the fast New Maldson five on the Coliseum floor in the main go of the evening. New Madison Is the only team this season to take the number of the Kewps and they are coming here prepared to repeat their victory. Thjs game no doubt will prove a thriller from the very start until the final whistle has been blown. The Kewpies are still suffering from the defeat handed them by the Ohioans and promise to send the New Madison boys back to Ohio with a taste of real Indiana basketball in their systems, and expect to hand them one of the worse defeats they have received this season. Practices will be held Monday and Tuesday night by the . Kewpies and they expect to be in first-class condition by Wednesday nightTrying New Combination Several new combinations are being tried out, as it is possible that H. Monger, regular backguard, will not be able to participate in any more of the Kewpies' games this season. It is possible that Retz will be used in the stationary guard position or the team may shift to playing a five-man offensive game, as Retz and Lohman will make a nice pair of guards to work together. O. Monger and Graffis will work at the forward positions and Sauter at center. 1 The first game of the evening will be played between the Richmond division Pennsy team and either the division team from Columbus, Cincinnati or Logansport. The Pennsy management is trying to book the Columbus division team here for that night, but if unsuccessful will book either of the other teams. The first game will start promptly at 7:30 o'clock.

Richmond Polo Player Confined In Hospital Harry Thompson, local man, who has been playing polo this winter on the Providence, R, I., team in the Eastern league, is confined to the Rhode Island hospital, following an attack of appendicitis for which he underwent an operation last Saturday, according to word received here. He is reported to be doing nicely following the operation. " The report came as quite a blow to the fans over the circuit as Thompson had been playing a very good game this year and was a big favorite over the entire circuit. PALLADIUM SPORTS WRITER DESCRIBES PURDUE'S TACTICS By It. Ii. REID Purdue universitys' basketball team, winners of the Big Ten championship, exhibited the- reason for its high standing in the Indiana game at Lafayette last Saturday nighty The writer witnessed the Hoosier classic. The conference champions are an altogether different lot of basketball players than is usually seen on the average college basketball team. Their stye of play is the sort that completely sweeps opponents off their bearings. Purdue took the floor against Indiana at Lafayette Saturday night a great favorite to win, but the majority of fans present thought that the game would be a battle from the start.' Few gave Purdue the advantage of five points. However, when the two teams took the floor and their practice was scrutinized, it was plain to see that Purdue had the edge by 10 points. They won the game by an 11-point margin, 20 to Opening the game, the Old Gold and Black five took the offensive with a rush. Purdue's offense is a big feature or the wonderful play of the five. When breaking down on offense, the Purdue five has every man sidestepping, turning, and coming in crisscross formation to meet the man with the ball. Every man is making moves to get a pass from the man with the ball, and .when the ball is passed, it is sent fast over-tie heads of all the playe.J and it is up to the Purdue man to Jump into the air and bat the ball accurately to the man who passed the ball. The Purdue five is master of this play and seldom did it fail to get down the floor. , Holwerda is a clever little guard J and he, fills the shoes of White with out any trouble All in all, Purdue's team is a real championship outfit, and shows the marks of expert training and coaching. 19 TEAMS TO PLAY IN TOURNEY HERE Nineteen teams are listed to"appear at Richmond in the sectional meet to be held here Friday and Saturday. This will be the largest meet ever held here. The largest number tft appear here in a tourney heretofore has been 16 teams.

SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

WELL KNOWN BUCKET OF DOPE IS STIRRED BY PARKER REFEREE By nORACE PARKER v In glancing over the schedule for the high school tournament here Friday and Saturday almost any fan can see that Richmond will have no trouble in winning should they play the kind of game they are capable of playing. They will dispose of Liberty, Brownsville, Connersville and Hagerstown In the order named, therefore earning the right to go to Bloomington the following week. Here they will meet some real opposition when they go up against the winner of the Evansville tourney. In picking Connersville as the second best team in the tourney you will find a team that has weight, a fast offense and experienced players. In all of their games in the Tri-State tourney at Cincinnati they put up a stellar brand of ball, much better than they did when Richmond defeated them at Connersville. Hagerstown will, without any doubt, go to the finals. However, they should not be overconfident and should look for a surprise when they meet Alquina in tneir first game. Alauina has a sturdy, scrappy bunch of players and will put up a good fight. Liberty Unlucky Liberty was very unlucky in the drawing, as they meet Richmond In their first game. If it were not for this fact, they would be able to make a very good showing. Cambridge has a good team and has a good record for the season, but probably will be eliminated at 9 o'clock Saturday morning by Connersville. Fountain City has a very good chance of goiug to the finals by defeating Hagerstown in the last game of the semi-finals. Richmond and Connersville will play the other semi-final game. Fountain City has its team built around Hatfield, center, and should make a very good bid for the honor of allltourney center. Same Calibre Brownsville and Centerville are teams of practically the same calibre, neither one playing consistently throughout the past season, first winning a hard game and then turning around and losing an easy one. , Fairview, Boston, Orange and Everton all have teams equally matched. In the opinion of the writer the teams, if they would each play in their normal form, would rank as follows: Richmond, Connersville, Hagerstown, Liberty, Cambridge City, Brownsville, Centerville, Alquina, Fairview, Boston, Everton, 'Orange, Economy, Williamsburg, Whitewater, Milton, Webster and Bentonville. FOUNTAIN CITY WINS INDEPENDENT TOURNEY INDEPENDENT TOURNEY Whitewater, 31; Centerville, 30. Fountain City, 33; Hagerstown, 23. Fountain City, 40; Whitewater, 26. CENTERVILLE, Ind., Feb. 27. Fountain City won the Independent basketball tourney held at Centerville Saturday afternoon and evening when they dropped the Whitewater five to the tune of 40 to 26 in the final game Saturday night. The Fountain City lads put up a fine game and were never in danger of being defeated. Thomas and McNutt were the heavy scorers for the winners, Thomas making 16 points while McNutt mad? a total of 14 points during the contest. Lacey put up a good defensive game for Fountain City lads. Mutchner scored 14 points for the losers. Centerville lost to Whitewater in the opening game of the afternoon by the score of 31 to 30. Centerville was defeated in the final moments of play. Hagerstown lost to Fountain City by a score of 33 to 23. The game was hard fought throughout and every player was on his toes from the beJ ginning until the final whistle. Good teamwork was" displayed In the first game of the evening Centerville and Hagerstown teams, both of which had been eliminated, met in a curtain-raiser for the final game. Their 'game, of course, had no bearing on the tournament. Centerville won this contest when Burris came through with seven baskets. The final score was 30 to 21. The lineups and summary of the final game: Fountain City (40) Whitewater (26) Thomas F Hunt Hampton F Blose Bockhcfer C Wright McNutt G Jennings Lacey G Freeman Substitutions Mutchner for Blose, Knoll for Wright.

It was a foreign class composed of Slavs and one Italian. This, unbalanced race distribution resulted In the little Italian boy being at the mercy of the others, and they were certainlyaware of it. The teacher was examining this group in the use of words. After a few more or less successful answers she came to the word "disguise," and also to the little Italian's turn. "Now," she said, "I want to know the meaning of disguise. Tony, you give me a sentence with disguise in it," Tony gazed at the grinning faces of his classmates, who not so very long before had been teasing" him, and replied with vehemence: "I hate dese guys." Purdue copped the Big Ten championship Saturday night by trimming the Indiana five at Lafayette, while Jw J 'a y contender, was getting a 42 to 16 beating at Michigan, Purdue has only one more game to play and does not have to win it to remain in first place. The Muncie Midgets were dethroned as Junior state champions in tne l2o-pound tourney at Muncie Saturday when the fast Vincennes team trimmed them in the final game to the count of 30 to 21. Muncie expected an easy time in the game, but the Vincennes boys played like real champions and outplayed the Muncie lads throughout. If the dope follows accordingly Richmond will play her ancient rival, Connersville, at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. I guess the Fayette county lads are somewhat afraid the locals will get some kind of dope on their team, for they are keeping very quiet. Runners-up in tri-state tournaments generally get pretty cocky anyway, so it is up to either Centerville, Cambridge City or Richmond to take the conn out of Connersville. No one seems to know anything about the referees who have been signed to work here. We are wondering where they are from. Here's hoping thep are competent men. CAMBRIDGE SHOWING "STUFF" FOR TOURNEY NEWCASTLE, Ind., Feb. 27 Cambridge City basketball quintet was defeated by the Newcastle high school five here Saturday night in a hard fought game, by the score of 32 to 26. Cambridge City out ud a stubborn fight the entire game and made the Rose City lads step along at high speed. At the intermission, period, Newcastle was leading bv the score of 19 to 11. Jolly, pivot man for the locals, was the bright light of the game making a total of 18 points for his team. The entire Cambridge City team put up a good game with Chapman leading the scoring, making a total of 10 points. The splendid showing made by the Cambridge team places them well among the leading contenders for the district championship at the Richmond tourney.

The meet is scheduled to be played at Anderson, but the All-Stars Athletic association has been unable to secure the Aiderson Y. M. C. A. to hold the meet. They are making efforts to obtain the high school gym there and if unsuccessful it will no doubt be held here;Promoter Moore of the Anderson tournament stated that if he was unable to obtain the high school gym he would like to hold it on the Richmond floor. Manager Morrey was discussing the possibilities of staging here with Moore at Muncie Saturday night during the 125-pound tourney, and are said to be very favorable with both men. If the meet Is held here Richmond fans will have the opportunity of seeing some of the f4stest junior 'teamg in the state in action ae-ainst each nther. The 135-pound tourney promises to be the leading Junior meet this year, and approximately 20 to 24 teams have announced their intention of entering. The Vincennes team, champions of the 125-pound meet, have announced that they will enter the meet. Manager Morrey will probably know definitely whether the meet will be staged here within the next few days. WAYNE CONTRIBUTES ' 4 TOURNEY OFFCIALS Wayne county contributes four of ficials for the high school basketball tournaments to be held in 32 centers on Friday and Saturday of this week. They are Coaches Ray Mowe and Nash Higgins of Earlham, both of whom will officiate in the tourney at Anderson; Archie Heller of Williamsburg, who goes to Huntington and Horace Parker who has been selected to officiate at Union City. " Many fans wonder why local officials never officiate in the local tourney. It is a standing rule in the I. H. S. A. A. that no official shall officiate in the tournament in which his home team competes. Wabash Drops Butler In Hard Fought Game INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 27.

While neither of these boys have jvenhown here Richmond flght fans " V u V times in bouts, In Dayton. McManus , , . - - . , : v Js always been pitted against the money; Kid Dalton is a rugged chap who packs a mean wallop in both hands. Dalton has been at the "give and takebusiness quite a while and la a scrapper thoroughly schooled In all departments of the game. Dalton realizes that he has a whole lot at stake in this battle, and is determined to come out on the winning end of his argument with McManus..... - Young Webb, another Dayton favorite, who Is also known to local fans, will show locally when he takes on Joe Everett of Springfield, in the eight round semi-final. Webb has always been a popular favorite wherever he has shown and no doubt Richmond fans will be pulling for him. Webb gives Everett credit for being a clever artist Inside the ropes, but believes that he can give the Springfield boy as good as is sent. Everett and Webb both are sluggers and no doubt their engagement will be replete with action. A six-round bout between Andy Parker of Dayton and a local boy will start the show under way promptly at o.uv u wutn. iiciteis are now on sale at the downtown smokeries. ECONOMY HIGH FIVE WINS 12 OUT OF IB CONTESTS IN SEASON By RENA MANNING Little has been known heretofore concerning the Economy high school basketeere. Although they have not been granted any special attention,, they are none the less worthy of honorable mention for the high brand of basketball of which they have shown themselves capable during the past season. The team is small and light, but fast, and all possess a keen eye for the basket. - - " Out of 16 games Economy has lost but four. The last defeat was at Boston last Friday night when Economy's former overwhelming victory over the Boston five probably gave her too much confidence, and helped in causing her defeat with a score of 26 to 30. The week previous. Economv showed Centerville a fast game when the latter were the winners by only three points. With the exception of the other two defeats, which were lost on the Hagerstown floor to Hagerstown and Fountain City, Economy has proven herself much stronger than her opponents by a majority of overwhelming scores. . Fisher is the star forward, having scored as high as 32 points for his team in one game. He was also placed on the star team at the Hagerstown invitational tourney. Lundy follows close behind Fisher with a record of no small merit. Jordan has proved himself a capable center. Outstanding guardwork is done by F. Cain and Elliott. The former is especially reliable, and both can b trusted to display-a really brilliant brand of guarding In any game. The remainder of the squad consists of Beard, Weyl and H. Cain, the latter being replaced by Oler because ot illness. They are all . merited substitutes. Several of last season's men are yet on the team, and will be remembered for the brand of game displayed at the district tourney last March when they defeated the fast X'onnersville five.
