It's very hard for Jawn McGraw to admit that he pulls baseball boners, but he missed a good bet on Pitcher Ed Rommel, the outstanding star of the 1922 season by virtue of his wonderful work with x onnie Macs s team or juas ana i-fillprs" Rommel was serving his first year in pro baseball with the Newark team, in the International League when McGraw purchased him on option". He never exercised the option, however, canceling it before the nxt spring season opened. It so happened that Earl Mack, son of the enlongated leader of the Athletics, was piloting the Newark team and when McGraw refused to look over Rommel Earl told his. dad about the "kid." Mack Signs Him Connie gave Rommel the once over and signed him. In 1920. Rommel's first season with the Mackmen, he broke even in 14 games. The next vear he won 16 of the 53 games the Mackmen won that year. Rommel lost 23, but the losses didn't count .with that outfit. Last year Rommel won 27 and lost but 13 games, leading the league in victories. Joe Bush, with the pennantwinning Yankees, won 26. Ed is a native of Baltimore and was born Qft 13, 1897.

Firpo is Powerful Fighter But No Match For Champs

By FRANK C. HETKB Luis Firpo is coming back to the United States This news effects various gladiators and the hangers-on in pugdom in different ways. Some of the boys are extremely anxious to get a chance to mingle with Mr. Firpo and others aren't at all keen about it. One section has it all figured out that Luis will be the softest kind of soft picking, whereas the other outfit has a wholesome respect for the South American first wiegler. Firpo continues to be what might be termed "the unknown quantity of pugilism". He never has had a real test against a real fighter and, therefore, no one knows positively just how good or how bad he may be. But it is an undeniable fact that Firpo, iu the bouts against third raters in which he figured here, demonstrated three vital things: (1) Terrific punching power. (2) Ability to take a pile driver smash on the chin and then come back as strong as ever. (3) A physique of which champions are made. Blows Have Fury. Beyond Jack Dempsey there Is no one who seems to be able to get as much dynamic fury into a blow as does Firpo. And beyond Dempsey and Bill Brennan, there is no one in the heavyweight ranks who ever has stood up after taking punches such as were rattled off the chin of the pride of South America. In physical make-up Firpo yields to none. He has powerful arms, marvel ous legs, shoulders which betoken his hidden power,, a huge chest and seems to be possessed of a natural fighting Instinct. On top of all that he has courage, he certainly has gameness and is amazingly fast. But Firpo has a fault and a bad one. Fortunately lor Mm it is a lauit which can be corrected by six months of teaching. And that fault is that be has almost no defense and so far has spurned efforts to teach him how to box. He depends upon the stoutness of his chin and the toughness of his body to withstand enemy assaults. Firpo has mingled in four or five battles recently and won every one with a knockout. His foemen all would hit him sledge-hammer blows in every battle, and yet Firpo wasn't knocked out, and not merely survived

HOOSIER COURTSHIP

This column selects the Big Ten among Indiana high school basketball teams subject to change most any time. Richmond gains a berth on the list by virtue of its win over the Rushville high school last Friday night, which brands the winner v.ith considerable strength. Other high school teams stepping out in front are Anderson, Vincennes, Frankfort and Bedford. The fives have been displaying unusually gool form. The end of the Christmas holidays is expected to mark the opening of th? grand march toward preparations for the annual tournaments in Indiana to be held in March. BIG TEN Frankfort Bedford FranWin Anderson Huntington Vincennes Martinsville ' Jefferson (Lafayette) Richmond Bloomington Honorable mention: Marion, Manual (Indianapolis), Garfielrf (Terre Haute Columbus, Shelbyvillc, Muncie and.

Recently a chattel mortgage in a rura Mistrict was foreclosed on the following: "Eight oxen, viz, one yoke (2) named Tom and Bill; one yoke (2) named Spot and Black; one yoke (2) named Red. and Sam; one yoke (2) named Jake and Bright." The sheriff made his levy, and reported that he had made diligent search around the defendant's premises, but had been unable to find the "viz." An old negro, who worked at the sawmill where the oxen were found, said to the sheriff: , "Boss, I'se been working 'round here eber since des been any sawmill, and I hasn't nebber seen no vises." Carnegie Tech is learning how to play the game of basketball as they do it in the Hoosier state. Indiana has the ability to show the way to most any team of any other state in the Union, as far as basketball is con cerned. The Hoosier state has the crack teams of the county. Butler meets Carnegie at Indianapolis Friday night. Indianapolis Omars are ready to meet the Shflbyville Elks at Shelbyville Friday night. The record of the Omars to date is: Omars, 55; DeMolays, 12; Omars, 40; Washington, 9; Omars, 47; Butler, 32; Omars. 24; New York Colts, 19; Omars, 20; Chicago Maroons, 14.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

the attacks, but punched and pounded his way to spectacular victory. But all this happened when Firpo was pitted against men who are little more than mediocre as heavyweights. It never happened against a man like Dempsey, or Wills, or Brennan, or Gibbons, or Miske, or any of the other top-notchers. Firpo believes at this moment that he has a chance against Dempsey. In hitting power, in speed, and in ability to take it, he probably isn't much in ferior to the champion. But where he yields hugely and where his vital weakness has manifested itself is in his lack of boxing skill. Soon Flatten Him It wouldn't take much more than a round for Dempsey, Wills, Gibbons or the others to tie Firpo into knots by outboxing and outgeneraling him. He wouldn't know what it was all about until one of those fellows had crashed over enough punches to flat ten mm. But if Firpo learned how to box, cultivated the trickery of defense, as well as the science of attack, and gathered in another six months or a year of experience, there would be every reason in the world to warrant the pre diction which they now make in South America that: "Firpo has a chance with Denrp sey." Too Weak for Best At this moment Firpo has no chance against Dempsey, none against Wills, none against Gibbons and probablr none against Bill Brennan. And that's all because he has not been tutored in boxing and because he has not had enough experience with tough men to season and qualify him for a tussle with the world's champion. When Firpo drops in upon these American shores again it is likely that he will decide to permit some wise old man of the ring to school him in the intricacies of boxing. If he does that and is carefully and; skillfully matched through 1923, this unknown battler of nine months ago may push Wills, Gibbons, Brennan and others out of the spotlight and cause himself to be acclaimed: "This is the man qualified to battle for a heavyweight championship of the world." (Copyright 1921 Br Kins Feature Syndicate, lac) to action again Wednesday night at the "Y" after a brief holiday lay-off, The next appearance of the high school will be at the Coliseum next Wednesday night against the strong Connersville Hi players, who have been traveling at a fairly good rate of speed thus far this season. Connersville is the district championship school and a big crowd 13 expected to turn out for the game. Hi Seconds will play a curtain-raiser with the Union City yearlings at the Coliseum Wednesday night. The Union City lad3 won a 11 to 10 game from the locals at Union City recently, and the local Red and White five is out for revenge. Two games were forfeited In the Open league of Community Service, which were to have been played Thurs day night in the Dennis gym. Betsy Ross and the ShroedePs played the only scheduled gamo of the evening, the result being a 22 to 15 win for the Bread-winners. DEPAUW FIVE WINNER OVER'; : - - 67-25 GREENCASTLE, Dec. 29. DePauw university basketball players showed the eastern five from Carnegie Tech how to piay tne game Thursday night on the local college floor, winning a one-sided fray, 67 to 25. The ripping offense of the Tigers proved too much for the easterners.- Score at half time was 23 to-14 The easterners took an 8 to 3 lead at the start of the first half, but the prowess of the DePauw Methodist athletes was not to be denied. Johnson and White were the scoring lights for DePauw, registering seven field goal3 each. Anderson and Motter displayed the best work for the Carnegie quintet, which was a bit unused to the lightning-like playing which the Methodists were abue to put up.
