FRANKLIN NET MEN STATE CHAMPS THIRD CONSECUTIVE TIME INDIANAPOLIS, March 20 Three championships In a row la the record of the Franklin high achool basketball team, and this la the only time in the history of Indiana high achool basketball that one team has captured the championship for three consecutive seasons. After eliminating all of their opponents they went Into the final game against Garfield, high, of Terre Haute, and playing true to form, came

out victorious by the score of 26 to 15. Garfield put up one of the moBt

stubborn fights that has ever been -wit

nessed in a state championship game, and threw a mighty scare into the camp of the Franklin followers. The Terre Haute lads put up a dizzy pace

for the champs in the first half, play

in them on even terms the entire

period, and the score at the half way point was 9 to 7 In favor of Franklin. The first Dart of the second half

saw the Garfield five stage a rally that Bent them into the lead by the Fcore of 11 to 9, and at this point it looked like the Franklin team had cracked and was doomed to a certain

defeat Vandiver and Gant started the fireworks for the champs at this time, and staged a piece of team play that

wu nothing: short of marvelous, ana

put their team in the lead. Rally Arouses Pep.

This Tally staged by these two men put the seeming lacking pep Into the Franklin lads and they immediately proceeded to put the game on Ice by scorina: soal after goal, and Garfield

check their rally. H. Wheeler, pivot man for the

losers, will go down In the history of Indiana high achool basketball as be

opposing players. He waa here and

there, every where on the floor, fight

ing every inch of the way and never willing to give an inch, and always In

the thickest of the play, following tne ball with unbelievable endurance and stamina. He also scored 13 of his

team's IS points. Defeats Bloomlnaton.

Franklin won the right to go into the finals by defeating the strong

Bioomlngton team in the semi-finals

Bloomlngton did not put up the fight

against the champs they were expected to after the splendid attack they displayed in eliminating the strong Vincennes team In the morning game. Bloomlngton could not pierce the Franklin defense to any advantage. Garfield "displayed a dazzling offensive attack in the Beml-finals against the Marion team who had put up one of the biggest surprises of the entire tourney by trimming both Rushville and Anderson. Marlon could do little with the offense of the winners. Garfield seemed to connect with the basket on nearly every shot they attempted, which seemed to take the pep out of the Marion lads. Lawson who pulled the two previous games out of fire for the Marion lads by his sensational long basket shooting failed to connect in this game.

INDIANAPOLIS. March 20. With record-breaking crowds in attendance at all of the games played at the Coliseum during the state high school

basketball tournament, the . question

has arisen by many where does the

money go? Who pays the expenses of the competing teams? Are these teams on their own expenses as soon as they

are defeated? What is the system?

Fred R. Gorman, chairman of the state committee, answered all of these queries yesterday as follows: "After subtracting the operating expenses of the tourney from the total proceeds, the remaining is divided into two parts. Half of the net goes into the treasury of the State High School Athletic association. The remaining portion is given to the school or schools promoting the tourney. In the present case the promoters' fund is divided equally among the three lo

cal high schools, Tech, Manual and Shortridge. "The state boaTd furnishes entertainment, board and lodging for nine men and a rubber from each of the competing teams, beginning at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon and continuing through to 8 o'clock Sunday morning. "The fact that a team Is put out of the running in the first round does not enter into the case,, and the expeses of all contenders up to the finish are placed on the same basis. Under the system it was possible for a person to see every game of the tournament at a rate of 10 cents a game through season tickets."

NEW YORK LEAGUES ARE LAGGING ALONG " " By Associated Press) NEW YORK, March 20. Manhattan's two big league baseball teams have far to go before they can hope

seriously to compete with any degree of success with the teams of their respective circuits, fans of this city agreed today. The Glant3 took the small end of a 12 to 6 score against the White Sox yesterday afSan Antonio, Tex., while the Yankees were lambasted at New Orleans by the St. Louis Cardinals, the score being 13 to 10. . Brooklyn's entry for the National

league stakes came through against the Louisville American association team at Pensacola, Fla., winning 3 to

0. A feature of the game which caused

Wilbert Robinson, the Dodger boss.

to sleep well after eupper was the

pitching of Reuther, who held the op

position hitless for the three innings

he was in the rifle pit

The Yankee defeat was made doubly bitter through the fact that Babe Ruth permitted- a single to pass through his legs like a pig in an alley. The incident sent Waite Hoyt on a balloon trip that lasted long enough for the Mound City lads to cinch the verdict.

Chips and Slips -

BARNES BOYS ARE BUSY. Judging from training camp news of

late.

Young Virgil Barnes is seeking to equal his brother's fame as a Giant and now comes word that another gent named Barnes first name Billy is making the Cardinal bosses at Orange, Tex., sit up and watch him. Billy Barnes hails from Nokomls, 111. He is twenty-one years old, weighs 180 pounds and has the broad shoulders that should go with said weight His work with an independent team last year drew attention. Pitching for Herrln, 111., he hung up a one-hit game and compiled an enviable list of strikeouts. Thirty-eight strikeouts in an eighteen-inning battle is one feat credited to him. Barnes received a tryout with Okmulgee back in 1920 and is credited with defeating the White Sox in an exhibition tilt that spring. Which may or may not mean anything.

Garfield, of Terre Haute, pulled the big surprise on the dopestera in the state tournament when they went into

the finals Saturday-night. The dopesters did not give the team from Terre Haute much of a showing a few days

before the tourney. The largest crowd of the tournament turned out for the afternoon games and every possible seat in the Coliseum was taken. Even every back seat in the house waa filled, while at the final game several seata were left la the back of the Coliseum.

- Br FRANK O. ME5KB The six day bikers have gone front Gotham parts. : ' , Quite a few of the natives hope they never come backThere was much that .was strange and odd oven weird in connection with' the "contest" staged in Madison Square Garden, between March 5 and 11, that some of the folka are not merely suspicious. They are openly insisting that "brother-in-law" stuff was executed in the most flagrant fashion. As a race, the affair was more or less of a joke. The boys dwaddelud along most of the time hundreds of miles back of the record. They seemed like persons who had nowhere, to go and were not at all particular, whon they arrived. , At certain stages of the

j six day journey they were close to 1 4,000. laps behind the mark made in

1914.

Any yet the promoters yipped about

it being a thrilling race.

Those "furious sprints" and "ter

rific jams" which the hired press

agents of the race so fervently de

scribed, were little more than sprints,

The boys were getting so slow moot of the time that when they did speed

up to a gait something on the' order of

the bikers who performed six- eignt

and ten Tears airo. it looked like a

"terrific outbust of speed" in comparison. Absent from Track. Throughout the week, on scores of occasions, some of the riders plus

their partners were entirely aosent from the track. There is always a time allowance for the boys when they bust a tire, or a Jawbone, or a leg, or something fragile like that but the absentees generally absented themselves for a much longer time than the rules seemed to permit. Again and again "Jams" were start

ed with the partner of one or two of the riders down in the Garden basement Did he rush wildly from his rub-down couch, beat It to the enclosure and furiously ride to the aid of his partner? Nix! He just lingered

there in the sweet bliss of a rerresnmg

rub-down. Why? Nobody knows except the partner who probably migLt

have explained It this way: "That jam doesn't mean anything except to get the natives steamed up. Won't last long. Boys gotta pull ouo of those wild looking efforts t- vwive a lap so as to keep the sue! 4 coming into the place." Put Teams Ahead Quite early in the week one of these

"1am" things started. When it was

over nobody seemed to have stolen

any lap. UUt tne management ui,

rather, its officials said, yes, yes

coupla teams has done that very trick,

ves. sir. they did.

And they put the Brocco-DeRuyter

and the Grenda-McNamara combina

tlon one turn of the track ahead of the Held. Why? Oh. simply because, explained the officials, th other teams had made faulty olckusa en one

partner relieved another and, there

fore, dear Messrs. Brocco ana DeKuy

ter and Grenda and McNamara must be credited with having galloped one

lap faster than the pack.

But the smart folks explained It

this way:

"The best teams in the race are the

Goullet-Madden, the Egg-Eaton and the Kaiser-Taylor combinaions. Now that they are a lap behind everybody will figure that one or the other outfit

will make numerous tries to get back the lap. That'll keep the crowd coming all week in the hope of seeing 'em do it." Interest Perks Up It's more or less history that up to the time-the "stolen lap" was awarded the interest in the bikers was none too keen. But it did perk up afterward. Just as predicted, the crowds poured into the Garden in the hope of seeing the sextet make an effort to get back on even terms with the two teams which had ben awarded the "Btolen lap."

But as the week wore on, and the'

exhibition took on the appearance of

a nail game where the result was

known in advance, the gallery dwellers began to break out with a rash of "razzing." They began to sense something. You can bunk a box seat holder at an athletic contest, or a high priced grand stand seat but it's a tough thing to hoodwink a gallery person. They hooted and jeered. They howled their disapproval over the snail-like pace. They ehrieked condemnation upon certain riders who strolled around the track with their

hands on the shoulders of rivals. They hissed the rivals who, for some inexplicable reason, would ride around close to each other for long periods of

time and carry oh low voiced conversations. It's possible, of course, that the race was deciced absolutely upon its mer: its: that everything was strictly on the "up-and-up." But you'll have a hard time convincing eome of the folks who have been bike race enthusiasts for years and who now pinch their nostrils when you mention the last contest that was staged In New York.

golden harvest through staging elx-

will become very much b'lah.

For the fifth consecutive time, the Richmond polo team handed Muncie's poloists a stinging defeat on the Magic City rink Saturday night The-final

count was 5 to 1. Fahrner was the

only man on the losing team to connect with the cage.

Although their team had been do

feated in each game thus far this

season, the Muncie followers turned j out and were very enthusiastic over the contest The seating space was packed to capacity. Each feam started out fast and the play was rough throughout Each team suffered the misfortune of two in and outs apiece. O'Metz again was the main factor in the defeat of the Magic City crew, staving off many drives which should have been counters. Lou Quigley stepped out in fine fash ion for the Richmond crew, with three goals, followed by Fry and Sox with one each. Fahrner was the shining offensive strength for Muncie, his cleverness enabling Muncie to keep up with the pace. Muncie will appear on the Coliseum floor Thursday night and may have Ted Lewis in the lineup. Lewis is a veteran of the game and is well known by local fans. His presence will strengthen the Muncie team considerably. May Play Racine. Racine, of Wisconsin, probably will

be here for games with Richmond on Tuesday and Thursday of next week. Racine has been playing all winter and has a lineup of all stars. Negotiations are under way by the local management to get a game at Racine Friday night, and on, Saturday night following the two teams would play in Chicago. The Richmond team
