tere. W'lle Cooper will have his :iun shaced in weight by about ten ounds, the quickness for which toiith Is famed should aid him to 10UI up his end of the battle. JWth in Condition.

shooters from the Gary association, has occupied the time of Physical Director Miller since his return Tuesday evening from Findlay, O., where he had been on a business trip, but the squad has finally simmered down to thc-s-2 men: Barrett and Hobbs, forwards; ltoso and Witt, guards, and Goodwin, center. Goodwin is a student at the University of Chicago and has been imported especially for the game with Gary. lie is a member of the Chicago squad and has made a name for himself In track work in the college, lie is a sprinter and half-miler. Owing to the rules of the Northern Indiana Athletic association barring a number of the high school men in the Commercial league from playing in the V. M. C A. five. Miller has had to confine his choice to men who are not connected with high school athletics. As some of the cleverest players in the league are high school men, it has been ditiicult to pick a team. The game is scheduled for S o'clock and will be immediately followed by the wrestling bout. Hlgli Meet Alumni. Figuring on paper the Alumni should win the annual battle with the hish school squad. The "old grads" will put one of the strongest teams tliey have ever had on the floor, while the" present tan and blue aggregation is admittedly the Inferior of the squads of the last three years. G. A. Cooper. formerly assistant physical director at the Y. M. C. A., has been acting as coach and manager of the alumni, and will have the following men on the floor ready to do battle: Grant. Cassidy. "Red" Goodwin 'and C. Witt are four capable men for the shooting positions. Verne .Stephenson or Goodwin will take care of center, with Howe. Nicar and Brug handling the guard places. Should Goodwin bo used at center, "Steve" will be put in at guard, his old position. Coach Metzler has been drill'ng the school team hard for this garre nrd exptcts the men to be in the fight from whistle to whistle. Capt. Allen m.iy r.ot bo able to play in Thursday's game, unless a finger which he hurt In the Mishawaka came Is bet-

When a ball player fails to do the proper thinp. he is immediately a "bone head!" The most prominent "bone head" is Fred Merkle, and Merkle is the victime of circumstance, in failing to do the proper thing upon two occasions, when his failure spelled disaster. The first was his failure to run to second on llridwell's hit. which cc:t the Giants a pennant in 190 3 hut Merklo has testified thai in the dramatic moment when Johnny Bvers was rushing" across the Polo ground ' diamond Umpire 1'mslie assured both he a:vl Mathewson that the Kame was the GVints. Th' second occasion was when Merkle failed to o after a high foul in the 1912 series with F.o?ton. But they call Merkle. a "bone head" now because of his play in the fifth same of the 1913 series, when he really played pood baseball. The plovers who way Merkle played correctlv insist Eddie Murphy of the Athletics "pulled the None" when he ran home, but escaped censure because lie succeed ed. One of the most famous "bones" in baseball was John Anderson's attempt to steal third with that base occupied. The Haset all magazine tells of a "bone" play made by "Hud" Sharpe, once first baseman of the Roston Rravos. Boston and Cincinnati were playing and Caspar held Huston helpless. Lrte in the frame Caspar ioubled and Bob Rcscher hit the ball ilori the first-base line. Sharpe, seeing ho could not fret the 'cet Rescher, lielded the ball across to Herzopj, then placing third for !Joston. llerzop was not expect'. n he play; no one expectc-d it, but ferzoi? handled the ball cleanly and etlrexl Caspar. Suppose HerroK1 had failed to set hat ball? Supr Sharpe had not nale a perfect w? He'd have been a "bone he;ui as lonpr as he lived. As it was he received credit for a brainy play. "Hap" Meyers, the lathy Boston first baseman, puiled a "bone" when he raced from first to third on Warner's sacrifice, with two out. Boston was playing New York, and Hal Chase, never dreaminjr Meyers would attempt such a thins, was caught nappins, hurried his throw to Austin, and as a consequence the ball escaped and Meyers scored. Harry Niles was famous for his "bone plays", and they sent him from team to team and finally to the minors. With Roston in 1909, against Washington, with Roston one run behind, two out and Danzig on first. Niles hit to center. Niles was one of the speed-merchants of baseball and Danzig1 was as slow as molasses. Rut Niles. forgetting Danzig, ducked his head and started out to circle the bases. Danzig stopped at second.

IDE Br BOMS

Baseball in 1914 the question. With the dawn of tne new year, hat old question comes back strung r than ever: Will the city s-e another year roll by without enjoying th pleasure when tho home team wli.s and feeling the disappointment wh u it loses? There Is a good chance for iouth Rend tt" get tack in organized baseball, where she belongs. The city is large enough to support a team and with the proper sort of management should develop into a money making proposition. There are plenty of fans in this city and the year without baseball has put thern on edge. South Bend now has an option to secure a franchise in a lively organization. The offer carries with it franchise and enough players to start a season with. All that is lacking is for the proper man or men to com. along and put up the coin. The monetary consideration is not a larg on and judsintr from the record of the league in the past year the team could be made to pay. Private ownership Is wanted for tho team in the city. While tho idea of a stc'k company is a good one, one man or two or three can attend to the affairs better than the larger number. Most of the successful ball teams of the country are owned by only a few individuals. Baseball Should Fay. Naturally the old question arises will baseball pay in South Bend? The writer is of the opinion that it will. When .South Bend entered the Central league in 191 1 after being out for the larger part of the season, a wholo new team was needed. When Harry Arndt started In her in the early winter of 191 2 he had

.practically nothing to start with. Ho . ; had to build an entirely new team and this with the fact that a 12 team Silver Edges Gain Top in Tour- loat:u(; ptr ?rran1ff?n,ontt,insn;,l - ' r:uipii tn Tuna tit ln, inter. ;t in tlirt

game. They did not see the other teams often enough. The task of following: six box scores each morning was too heavy a one and as only tw series were played with each tam. they couldn't remember who was who. The baseball talk is a big feature of baseball. The fans want to know wh is comlntr and soing. They want t

' know who is playing the best ball and sizing up 12 teams is too much a tak. The league in which South Bend haa a chance to become a member has no 12 teams. It is a comp.ut j body and there are fans in each of tho ' cities. The league made money Ja.-t year and the owners are expecting t make monev utrain this vc.ir.

Could A poly Ijorally. The example et by Bvai:s ille T.tst year could well be applied to South Bend. That city ..-cnt without l..-i -ball for over a vear and when th team was brought back, the f.-po supported the ch:b. Tli-y w r- :nio,jto turn out and see what i '-.l 1 .. i I . i a looked jike. South Bend fans can be plaeed in .1 class ahead ol the Kva:ivilbwhen it comes to loyalty. They u.t:.t to see jrood ball ard Jir- wiliir.e; turn out. Tney hae had a tate amateur ball and want the baitr.. stuff. With a trood team in the rity. one that is fishtinir- and one that doesn't grab the cellar and fi-ht a!; others for possession all summer, baseball should pay. Who will be the d'dayed Santa Claus to make the rift to th" city?

nament When They Send Down 2,768 Pins Several Close Games Staged.

Kondle, of the Elsassers, nabbed the record for the evening at the bowling in the F.lks' alleys Tuesday night in tho city tournament. He toppled 2 56 pins in his third game. His final score rested at 6 31. Flay was sensational at the third session of the tournament, the threatened 2,700-point score bein bettered OS points by the .Silver Edges who led the field with a total for the three frames of 2 7 6S. This team rolled 993 in their third game, missing the l.OuO mark by a mere .seven pins, and bestinr their second game record by 6 2 pins.. The Elsassers took second place wiih a score of 2,f5S, and the C. A. C. army were third with 2,610. Thtso are not remarka bie scores, but as the play goes on it is expected that bowling around the 2, SCO mark will not be considered a sensation. Dolph, of the Silver Kiiges, who has in the past rolled some frortd games, seemed out of form, and wound up the evening with a poor ::1. But for this failure of form, the Silver Ed.es would have landed in the 2.S00 class Wednesday night. Zimmerman and Messick took high mor.ey in the doubles events which rtarted Wednesday night.
