Many Feature State High School Basket-ball Tilts Tonight and Saturday
By VEDDER GARB
LOTS of action is promised
over the week-end for the
followers of high school
basket-ball Many feature games
are scheduled out over the State
between the strongest of the prep
lives. Local interest naturally
centers on Manual's tilt with Co
lumbus tonight and the opening of
Tech’s season with Logansport at
the “Y” Saturda3 T . Cathedral
plays Zionsville at the Shortridge
gym the same night.
■ITEMS
PICK OP SPEED
FOR BIG GAMES
Butler, Franklin and Wabash
Show Promise of Strong
Fives - Notre Dame Loses.
Getting u’’der headway—that’s the
word. All of the college net teams of
he State are gradually picking up
-peed for the important games to
ome a little later in the winter sched
ule.
Butler showed some of its speed
and basket getting ability of last sea
son in the Dental game Thursday,
which was won in easy fashion, 51 to
16. Griggs, Leslie and Hooker looked
good and Wally Middlesworth rambled
over the floor and threw a wrench
into the Dent scoring machine.
Hooker got seven held goals, Griggs
six and Leslie five. That was plenty
scoring for one evening.
Franklin put on steam at the start
with the former Franklin High School
combination in the game and ran up
a 23-to-4 count against Hanover as the
first period ended. Numerous substi
tutes were made in the final half and
the tilt ended, 37 to 15, in fat or of the
Baptists.
Wabash, on its holiday trip, showed
sots of class at Oakland City College
and won. 53 to IS*. Long Boy Chad
wick at center for the Scarlet dropped
in nine baskets from the field. Thorn
helped pile up the total with five.
Notre Dame on its Illinois trip lost
an over time game to Illinois Univer
city, 41 to 38. At the end of the reg
ulation forty minutes the count was
tied at 35 apiece. Enright for Notre
Dame got five goals from the field and
tossed in six fouls.
Stilwell, the lanky center of the
Ullni, could not be stopped and put
rhe ball through the hoop eight times.
De Pauw bumped into the strong
Marquette five in Milwaukee Thurs
day night and the Cream City boys
won, 25 to 16. Marquette previously
had defeated Butler and apparently
has a team that is going tc get some
where this season.
De Pauw beat Beloit on its Wiscon
sin invasion Wednesday and the Tiger
players were somewhat fatigued when
they stacked up against Marquette
Thursday.
COLORED ‘Y’ CLASHES
WITH DEFENDER SQUAD
The colored T. M. C. A team will ,
have its first importar. ? c.et game
of the home season wh- eets the
Chicago Defenders ton e . tne col
ored “Y.” The locals lost to the De
fenders early in the season at Chi
cago, 23 to 20, but promise a reversal
of that count this evening.
Baxter has been re-elected captain
of the locals and believes he has suffi
cient talent of class to capture the
colored State and Mid-West titles. The
Chicago Defenders were Mid-West
•hamps last season .and national
champs the; year previous.

The really big contests are not
for this city, however. The Frank
fort team, which has won nine
straight games, meets one of the
toughest foes it can find when
Bloomington is entertained to
night. Coach Case has developed
a real outfit at Frankfort that is
worthy of the fine new' gym in
which they play. Oliver at for

DOODLE PROGRAM
‘Y’ Boys to Play Mapietons and
Tipton Tuesday,
Double-header basket-ball at the
Y. M. C. A. next Tuesday night. The
“Y” leaders are going to try two con

Is expected in each performance. The
"Y” boys will take on the Mapietons
first and then will come a struggle
with the strong Tipton A. A. team.
The Mapietons are made up of for
mer high school stars who have been
trained by Coach Evans of Manual.
This five has been winning by big
scores and will be all set to give the
Leaders stiff opposition.
The Tipton quintet was beaten by
the Leaders recently and the up-Stale
lads are coming down here deter
mined to even the count.
Last year the Tipton players had a I
big season, numbering among their
victims the New York Nationals. Cin
cinnati Celts, Ft. Wayne, Bluffton,
Hartford City and the Em-Roes.
The “Y” Leaders have been organ
ized four years and last year won
33 out of 37 games. They were city,
and sectional independent champion*
and were runners-up in the national
amateur tourney at Kansas OR'. In
the national meet they played five
days and defeated Colorado College,
Denver University, Winfield College
and Cooper College of Kansas.
Starbuck, forward, was chosen all
tourney forward at Kansas City and

the night contest. 50 to 29. Vogler
meets Trusler at the Occidental Parlor
tonight in a State three-cushion

be one of those thrillers that
keeps the fans on edge. Bloom
ington meets another real team
in Jefferson of Lafayette in that
city on Saturday.
Logansport at Crawfordsville
may develop into a worthwhile
battle. Crawfordsville is stronger
than it is generally given credit,
for and Well's team will have Its
hands full, especially as it plays

Connie Mack Explains Deal for Hale
Prefers to Develop Ball
Players Rather Than
Buy Them.
By SEX Service
NEW YORK. Dec. 22.—Connie
Mack, the lengthy leader of the
Athletics, recently startled the base
ball world by the purchase of Sam
my Hale, the coast star, for the
reported price of 875,000.
Mack has always had the reputa
tion of paying less for Ids players
than any other man in big league
baseball.
But Connie is nothing if nol
shrewd, and times have changed.
He saj*s: “'The days when a ball
player could he bought for a song
are gone forever
' Conditions in the baseball world
have changed. It has become a big
business. Prices of players have
steadily risen. Competition between

TENNIS TANGLE TD
BE CLEARED UP
Efforts Made to Standardize
Rules at London Meet.
By I nitrd .Wtr«
LONDON, Dec. 22. —The last barrier
tc America's participation in the
world tennis championship may be re
moved in the present conference of
the International Tennis Federation
which is trying to standardize the
rules and effect other changes.
The United States has been un
officially represented in the world
championship in the past and William
T. Tilden won the title of world cham
pion. but the American association did
not recognize the tournament and
therefore could not recognize its own
rnan as champion. The reason was
that the tournament was held per
petually by Wimbledon, England, and
the United States Lawn Tennis Asso
ciation believed the tourney should be
passed around on a plan resembling
the Davis' cup challenge round.
Henry J- Slocum, the American
representative at the present confer
ence. probably will be permitted to
make a plea for a change of venue
which concession would bring America
into the competition.

LOOMS UP IS
STRON9BOOY
Major Magnates Begin to
Worry as List Continues
to Grow.
By RODNEY DUTCHES
United Netcs Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, Dec. 22.—Big league
baseball magnates are beginning to
lose sleep as they realize that the
Baseball Players' Union has ma
terialized out of a sweet dream into
an actuality. Santa Claus, they feel,
is bringing them a great big package
which they never asked for at all.
Ray Cannon, the enterprising
young Milwaukee attorney, who
ganized the union, has suddenly ae
sumed to the magnates the proper*
tions of a bogey-man, following his
announcement that 223 big league
players had signed up for member
ship, and reports as to just who these
members are don’t lend any en -
couragement. A lot of world’s cham
pions are Included, it is said, an 4
at any rate, 223 players come mighty
near being a quorum.
Holdouts may be numerous if tho
union can control its members, as it
is said to have requested players to
refrain from signing contracts until
further progress is made in organiza
tion.
Two holdouts already have been re
ported. Pitcher Dutch Reuther of
Uncle Charley’s club and First Base
man Jake Daubert of the Cincinnati
Reds being the most notable.
Somebody told Ebbets that the
union was going to demand a $5,000
minimum salary for ball players, and
Ebbets, seeing no reason to disbe
lieve it. denounced the union on that
basis at once. Cannon, however, de
nies to the United News that $5,000
or any other salary has been set aa
a minimum as yet.
