PICK SPORTS WRITER OF DAYTON PAPER TO REFEREE BOUT HERE
After considerable dickering be tween Young Webb, of Dayton, and Mike Moran, of Indianapolis, principals in the 10-round main go of the boxing Droeram to be staged at the Coliseum next Monday night, the Dayton-Richmond Athletio club finally settled the referee question by picking Glenn Whitesell, sports editor of the Dayton Daily News. Moran was willing to meet Webb in the local headliner, but specified that a referee who had never worked with Webb in the ring should be selected. After several names were suggested, it was finally agreed to get Whitesell. Whitesell has been refereelng the shows staged at the Eagles club in Dayton, besides doing conslderabla work as third man In the ring throughout Ohio. Whitesell Is known as a hard worker In the ring and he always makes the fighters give their best. He is always moving, and the fans do not have to give him orders to make them break. With Whitesell in the ring, no doubt every bout will be chuck full of action, as he never allows any staging. The picking of Whitesell should be a move In the right direction toward keeping the game on the level, as "Wbitey" has been very instrumen tal in placing the game on a high plane In Dayton through hl3 news columns. Arrangements are being made to take care of a real crowd at the Coliseum. Extra chairs have been placed in order around the ring and regular ringside seats will be the order of the night for those holding reserved seat tickets. Plenty of action is assured everyone, as the six-round event between Johnny Lucas and Bud Hill should be a hummer, as should the setto between Willie Este8. of Eaton, and Ah O'Connel, of Dayton. The battle royal between five colored gentlemen should prove interesting, as these affairs always produce action. Seats for the show" will be on sale at the downtown smokeries. QUAKER TRACKSTERS HAY WORK TONIGHT Preliminary track tryouts will probably be held at Earlham Thursday evening unless the rain is still "pourlne down." Coach Mowe stated this mnrnlmr. The last practice before the soring vacation Is looked upon by the Quaker coach as the logical time to begin to cut his squad. Up to this time the squad has been composed of about thirty men which is too large a number for efficient work. It is planned to select two or three men in each event and concen trate the attention on them. All of the old men are in good con dition with the exception of Wlldman who is suffering from a strained ten don. He Is expected to recover from this injury during the vacation, how ever. Some of the new material are showing promise and will be retained on the regular squad. The track team will not return from he vacation early as has been announced but Coach Mowe has instructed them to keep in condition during this period as only a week will inter vene between their return to school and the first meet of the season with Hanover at Hanover. MORAN INDIGNANT OVER EXHIBITIONS (By Associated Pres) CINCINNATI, Ohio. March 30.Rainy weather again greeted the Cin clnnatl National league baseball team at Wichita, and the game scneauiea to be played with the Western league c:hampions was called orr, the Keas moving on to Joplin where a game is scheduled for this afternoon. Manager Pat Moran took occasion to express distaste for the present ex hibltion schedule, declaring a team should remain in the south until April 1. "We miss a lot of valuable train Jng lime and the weather Is so bad in March that many games are cancelled and the crowds are small at those which are played," he said. "If I am manager next year, there will be an entirely new plan for the training of the club." Friday night the Red team will be split Into -two sections, the regulars going to Springfield, Mo., for Satur day and S,unday, while the colts go to Evansviue to pay the LoiumDus team on these dates. Ruth's Home Run Fails To Shatter Dodgers' Morale NEW YORK. March 30. The New York American League champions lost a hot encounter witn me nrooKiyn ixationals at Galveston, Texas, yesterday, a prodigious home run by Ruth failing to shatter the morale of the Dodgers, who won 2 to 1. Sherrod Smith, who this year is using a lefthand "subway" ball patterned after the celebrated delivery of Carl Mays, went along nicely for three innings, in the first of which Ruth swatted a ball out into the Gulf of Mexico. Mamaux succeeded Smith and performed brilliantly for six innings, during which the Yankees got only three safe hits. The Giants were today at Meridian, Miss., to meet the Memphis team of the Southern league. They were to have played yesterday, but the weather man decided it was a fine day for rain, and his decision could not ba overruled.

HIGH SCHOOL TO HAVE NINE THIS SPRING Richmond high school will have baseball along with the track work this spring. Sentiment among the several candidates for spring athletics seems to favor baseball. The man agement already has scheduled several track games, and will trv in nhtain several baseball games. Baseball games have been secured from Stivers and Newcastle high schools. Stivers will come to Richmond for a nine inning contest, Saturday, April 22, and Newcastle will be played on May 20 and May 27. Although baseball has not been played in the local high school for five or six years, the material is plentiful and a good team can be rounded into fair condition for some lively games. Interest in track work is not at all keen at present, but Coach Stengcr is looking for a good turn-out when the weather conditions permit, and he expects a good track team as well as a baseball nine. .

IND., THURSDAY, MARCH 30,
Chips and Slips HENRY DE BERRY, , The young catcher with the literary name, tried out by the Cleveland Indians several years ago, is fighting for a place in the back-stopping bun with the Brooklyn Dodgers this spring. He appears ready for the big show. De Berry was given his first big league try out by Lee Fohl, then manager of the Indians, In 1917. Henry showed promise but needed " much more experience and Lee sent him to Milwaukee. "Hank" began his professional career with Paducah In the Kitty league in 1914. .The next' sea son, he played with Chillicothe in the Onto State league and then graduated to New Orleans in the. Southern Association. His work there . in -1915-16 earned him the trial with the Indians. From Milwaukee he went to the New Orleans club again and hung up an enviable record with that club In three years' service. Injuries which would have kept some players out of the game handicapped his last year and his batting dropped to .25T He fielded brilliantly, however. He played baseball at the tJniverslty of Tennessee before taking up the game as a profession. Richmond will try to avenge the de feat handed her at Muncie last Monday night by the Muncie polo team, when she lost 7 to 3. The game promises some lively competition no matter who wins. Only one more day until the Com munity Service basketball tournament. All of the teams have been practicing hard for the games and expect to be in the best of condition for the battles. t The Illinois A. C. of Chicago 6tepped into the limelight at the New York Athletic club aquatio carnival Wednes day night when the swimmers of the Chicago club broke three relay swim ming world's records. The relay team lowered the record in the 400, 500 and bw-yara events. Jake Schaefer retained his world's billiard title by defeating by the score of 1,600 to 1,468. A narrow margin of 33 points. $ottt piayers were oir in the final block and missed many shots. Hoppe held the championship for 16 years, until it was taken away from him the first of this year by Schaefer. A cowman from Medicine Bow stepped into a cigar store in Chicago and asked for a match. "Matches," replied the clerk, "are for sale, not to give away." "How much are they?" "One cent a box." The cowman bought a box, and handed it back after taking out a match. "Here," he said, "put that lack on your shelf, and when a gentleman asks you for a light give him one." A good boxing card is to be offered in the Coliseum next Monday night. The main go will be a 10-round contest between Young Webb of Dayton and Mike Moran of Indianapolis. Several good 'preliminaries have been arranged. Tickets for the bouts are on sale at the cigar stores. . SCHAEFER REMAINS WORLD'S CHAMPION (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, March 30. Jake Schaefer today remained world's champion at 18.2 balkline billiards. In a heartbreaking finish last night he nosed out the veteran Willie Hoppe 1,500 to 1,168. Thereby "Young Jake" proved conclusively that his previous two victories over the man who for 16 years reigned supreme in the world of balkline billiards were not flukes and at the same time erased from the family escutcheon a snear marked there 15 years ago when Hoppe then a lad In his teens, defeated the elder Jake Schaefer the "wizard" father of "young Jake." The match partook of none of the unfriendliness of a "grudge" meeting however, but was described . by the many experts from throughout the country who witnessed the three nights' Dlav as one of the ereatest in

HARD TOR PRESENTFAND0I.M REALIZE -BASEBALLS' VETERANS By FRANK C. MEXKH ' " About the most difficult task, for the present generation of fandom. to accomplish is the realization that Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Eddie Collins and WTalter ' Johnson 'constitute the "Veteran Quartet of the American League-" Yet today the entire quartet seems very, very near to the nd of baseball usefulness. - - ... , It's possible that the mighty Tris may pass from the playing ranks before 1922 skids into history. It won't be because his eyesight has dimmed, or that his baseball brains have dulled, or that his amazing fielding instinct is impaired. If it happens, it'll be because of bd legs. ' Bad' legs ended the baseball lifetimes of Tommy Leach, Willie Keeler, Napoleon Lajoie, Hans Wagner, Adrian Anson ended the 'careers of all the great ones at a time when "they still could hit, still could throw,- but no longer could run.- " Ankle Not Mended The ankle which Speaker hurt last Fummer and which kept him out of at least 20 games during the most critical period of the slam-bang pennant fight, was thought to have mended. But in training camp the other day it buckled under Speaker and it's doubtful if "he will be able to perform through the early weeks of the coming campaign. Johnson knew the poorest year of his career in 1921 slipped and floundered ; around at certain times, was knocked out of the box frequently and all through the year knew trouble with the mightiest asset his pitching arm. They nurse the hope "within Washington that the wing will come back tlvis year. But it is, at best, a baron hope. Troubled With Cataract. Cobb, dean of them all in the "American league, has been troubled with a slight cataract over one eye. And his legs -have been giving him trouble. They no longer seem as stout and as accident-free as they used to. Collins alone has escaped crippling of the legs. He has been playing great basebalL But the once whirlwind second sacker shows that age has been creeping into his joints and he is slowing up gradually but surely. It's only when one delves into the record books that one realizes how time has flitted. Cobb arrived "In De-' troit in 1905 and this is 1922. Collins started with the Athletics a year later and the ensuing season marks his seventeenth under a major league standard. Johnson pitched his first American league game in 1907 and through all the years since then has been a Senator. Speaker," the "freshman" of the group, didn't debut until 1908, but that's 14 full seasons ago. How time flits. STARS IN TENNIS MEET" PHILADELPHIA. March 30.-Wil-liam T.
