at the fair ground Jan. SO. has been
postponed indefinitely. An effort will
be made to stage the meet at the coli
seum during the first week of March,
to be followed by a senior meet a few
weeks later.
The reason for the postponement of
fbe junior meet was that the govern
ment had possession of the coliseum for
the storage of army trucks and will not
vacate the place until March 1. No other
suitable place for an Indoor meet could
be found by the committee. A Dumber
of colleges and Y. M. C. A. and athletic

Carpentier Believed
Favorable to Title
Go in New Orleans
Likes Crescent City Because of
the Large French Popu
lation There.
CONFERENCE ON FEB. 2
LONDON, Jan. 17.—Nate Lewis, the
American fight manager, is to meet M.
Descamps in Antwerp Feb. 2, to talk
terms for the appearance of Georges
Carpentier against Jack Dempsey in a
fight for the world's championship.
Acting for Dominick Tortorich, the New
Orleans promoter, he will make a bid
for the fight In New Orleans late in
the year. '
Returning today from a conference in
Paris. Lewis said he had been given
assurance that his offer was next in im
portance to that of Charles B. Cochrane,
the London theatrical magnate and pro
moter, who Is now in the United Spates.
“Descamps laid ali his cards on the
table,” Lewis said. “He showed me the
contract he had signed with Cochrane,
which gives an option on the French
man's services until Feb. 1. He also
allowed me to see ail the other offers.
“I am sure the fight will be staged in
America. Kearns wants a double price
to bring the American to Europe and
the purse can hardly be met on this
side. Carpentier wants to fight In New
Orleans on account of the large French
population there.”
Lewis said he offered to post a 10 per
cent forfeit on the demand of the
Frenchman.
TEX THE .WISE BOY;
HE’S AFTER BOUT
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—1 fa mhn want
ed to buy tbe Woolworth building It
would be poor business to go up on the
tower with a megaphone and shout to
the world what he had to offer for it.
The fight business is a lot like a cs.|'d
game. The one that shows his cards
very seldom cashes In. The one that
keeps 'em guessing may not always fin
ish with a roll, but he gets a run Mr his
money. . ,
Credit Tex Rickard with these bits of
fight philosophy. The merican pro
motor whose coin dug the grave in To
ledo for Jess Willard’s career wants to
be the funeral director for another cham
pion or a near champion.
“Sure, I want tbe fight.’ said Tex with
one of bis characteristic smiles, when
asked about the offer, “but I am not
ready to make an announcement. 1 may
have something to say In a few days.’
This remark cast significance on the
statement of Descamps that "within a
I few davs all the details for the fight
will lie'settled.” It also gives good rea
son to believe the latest hot rumor that
Rickard has Dempsey signed and has
him bound by a verbal agreement that
pas one of the first business moves
thade bv Dempsey after he won the title.
' “I’ve 'been after the fight for months,
but I haven't let everyone know’ my busi
ness. I have been waiting for the mar
ket to stabilize after the flurries of many
wild offers,” said Rickard. “The fight
will be staged in America. The agita
tion being stirred up against Dempsey
will not last.”
Reds Confident Miller
. of St. Paul Will Be
Obtained in Big Deal
CHICAGO, Jan. 16.—President Herr
mann of the Cincy Reds, after address
ing the magnates of the American asso
ciation at their request Thursday came
near pulling off a deal which, if it finally
goes through, will greatly strengthen
the Reds for the coming season.
The man he is after is Elmer Miller,
the crack centerfielder of the champion
St. Paul club. In conference with Man
ager Mike Kelley of the Saints. Herr
mann secured the promise of the release
of Miller to the Reds, provided he can
deliver a good outfielder In exchaange
for the star, together with cash. Kelley
Is ready to make the deal with the Reds
and Miller wants to join the champions,
but the St. Paul manager Insists on hav
ing a good player in exchange. Herr
mann thinks he can secure a suitable
man by the waiver route, and he Is rea
sonably certain that Miller will soon be
added to the Red roster.
The Cincinnati club made an attempt
to secure Miller m midseason last year,
when they offered a very large cash sum
for him, ‘which was refused by Kelley,
as his club was fighting for the pennant
and he couldn’t afford to let his best
man go at any price. The only'-reason
that Kelley will dicker for him now is
that be can not afford to pay the salary
which Miller deserves after bis wonder
ful showing last season.
State Normal Here for
Engagement With Butler
This year’s efforts of the Butler and
State Normal quintets will show the two
teams about as evenly matched as any
thing In the state and they are expected
to stage an interesting scrap when they
cl*>h on the Butler floor tonight.
The Butler warriors got away to a bad
start this year, but since John Head took
charge of them two weeks ago a marked
Improvement has been shown in (heir
work and they have the earmarks of
becoming one of the hardest fighting
combinations in the state before the,sea
son closes.
Butler will start the contest with
Shockley and Short, forwards; Rosenthal,
center, and Wood and Jones, guards.

Wabash defeated Earlham in a “battle
royal” basketball game here last, night,
24 to 15. The Earlham forwards bit the
hasket from the field only two times, but

on the Earlham players.
Earlham took the lead when Lawler
scored from the field in (he first period,
but the Wabash men soon caught up
with them and the score see sawed hack

FREEZING HIMSELF TO DEATH,
‘Twas a happy summer’s evening
And a. goodly crowd was there.
Which well nigh filled the drug store
At the corner of the square.
Glad shouts and joyous, laughter
Were wafted through' the door,
While the druggist mixed nut sundaes
Until his arms were sore.
Then the portal slowly opened
And an awful wreck slipped Hi
He ordered an ice cream cone
With a diabolic grin.
"I<ook at me,” he cried, “dear comrades.
I’m a victim of the come;
In the days when rum was plenty
I left booze and beer alone.
“Last July I took to sundaes,
Ate ’em often, ate ’em fast.
Then the terrible Ice cream cone
Got me in its grip at last.
"First my friends and then my children,
Last my wife left me alone—
But I do not care a whoop-la
If I only get my cone.
“Gimme Just one more,” he muttered,
“Or I’ll soon begin to rave”—
Bat the druggist threw him quickly
Through the doorway to the pave.

Crawfordsville Hangs
Up Another Victory
at Indiana’s Expense
Montgomery County Lads De
feat Cheyenne Five by
Lopsided Score.
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 17.
The Crawfordsville High school quintet
advanced another step In. the basketball
hall of fame last night by defeating the
Cheyenne Indians, 50 to 15. Although
the redskins have had a great deal of
tough luck in their games with Indiana
teams this season, thev have proven a
hard fighting combination and tbe high
school lads deserve no small amount of
credit for stacking them on the bottom
side of the count.
After the first five minutes of play it
was evident that Crawfordsville was go
ing to sing the victory song. The Indians
were completely bewildered by the llashy
passing and the wonderful teamwork of
their youthful opponents. Kirby hit the
basket for the high school quintet with
uncanny -accuracy and his work was
easily the feature of the contest.
Tbe victory, coming on the heels of
one over the Menchants Heat and Light
team of Indianapolis, has gained a lot
of new admirers for the Crawfordsville
boys aud\they are rapidly climbing up
to take their place with the leading
teams In this section of the country.

TECH FACES THORN TOWN.
The Technical High school basket men
will dash with Thomtown this evening
on the local Y. M. C. A. floor, and from
advance Indications prospects are bright
for a local victory. A curtain raiser be
tween the Tech seconds and the Fortvllle
quintet will pricede the main event. This
preliminary contest is set for 7:15. with
the big game starting one hour later.
Coach Black has workked his men
bard this week for the Thomtown fray,
and tbe defects that showed up tn tbe
Franklin and Greeneastle games are
expected to be r a minus-quantity tonight.
The local aggregation, although possess
ing a mediocre record this season as
far as games won and lost go. has
shown Itself capable on more than one
occasion of playing excellent basketball,
and the derisive wins scored over the
strong Columbus and Kokomo quintets
are tne main features In making them
the favorites In tbe contest tonight.
The erratic and listless playing that
lost to Llzton, Bloomington and Shelby
ville in succession is a thing of the
past, and students at the east side in
stitution say that, beginning with to
night and lasting through the sectional
tournament, their team will set up a
reennd that will create- a lot of conster
nation in the camps of Manual and
Shortridge. Although little comparative
dope is available for tonight’s engage
ment. what has been obtained is strongly
in favor of the local five.
The same lineup that has represented
the arsenal school since the Injury to
Griggs, consisting of Slaughter and Nip
per. forwards; Prayer, center, and Art
Black and Hawkins, guards, has been
used regularly in practice this week and
probably will oppose the Thomtown ag
gregation this evening. Inability to hit
the bn-ket from the foul line was re
sponsible for the defeat at Greencastle.
and considerable time has been devoted
this week to correcting this defect. The
Greencastle game was the first time this
year that Nipper lias fallen down at
tossing foul goals.
VINCENNES BEATS MANUAL.
VINCENNES, Tnd., Jan. 17.—Success
ful passing and excellent goal shooting
enabled tbe Vincennes High school I>3-
kr.ball team to defeat the Manual Train
ing High school quintet of Indianapolis
bv the score of 43 to IS last night at
(lie Junior high school gymnasium. The
game was one of the most bitterly
fought contests of the season. The Vin
cennes players were urged to their su
preme efforts to retal'nte for the hu
miliation suffered af tbe state tourna
ment when they were eliminated by Man
ual last year. Wampler and Holt, for
Vincennes, were the stars of the game,
each getting credit for seven field goals.
1 larmeson and Busohell featured for the
visiting teams and got credit for three
goals each.
DANVILLE, Ind., Jan. 17.—Crashing
headlong into the brick wall of the bas
ketball court here last, night. Garrett,
tbe fast, center on the Broad Ripple five,
was rendered unconscious one minute
after the start of the game with the lo
cal high school team and It was almost
an hour before he regained consciousness.
Ills injuries did not prove as serious as
was at first thought and he was able to
return home with his quintet. The ab
sence from the contest of Garrett seemed
to demoralize the Broad Ripple five, and
although they put up a game battle, the
Danville boys carried off the long end of
an IS to-15 score. The defense of the
Hendricks county quint proved puzzling
to the visitors and they were unable to
get close enough to the draperies to make
many ringerß. A feature of the contest,
was tbe foul goal tossing of Morris of
the capital city five, who put nine of
them through the iron out of ten trials.

The second army of doubles and sin
gles honor seekers will go after the wood
in tbe city” tourney tonight and there
aren’t very many reasons why they
should not kick In with some nifty
counts.
Wessels and Trotter will try their
luck with the first squad and if they
shoot as per usual they will go up
with the fiont-liue men. Three combi
nations of K. of C. bowlers will per
form with the second bunch. Ed Quinn
and Louts Dugan form one of these
teams, the one that Is expected to go
big. Quinn has been posting counts iu
the “Cawey” loop all season.
Mike Kelly, one of tbe leading pep
dispensers of the season, will shoot with
Jack Sahm In the doubles.
Well, there’s one thing certain. Tbe
?ins were not beaten to a pulp last night,
ttile and Canning went big In the
doubles with LI IS pins and Saladin stood
first in the singles today by virtue of
his 576. These counts may land a bit
of the money, but the world knows they
won't hold their present standing for a
long time.
The only double century score rolled
by the leading combination went up in
back of Canning's name after the first
round. Rule got up in that neighbor
hood twice, but he evidently left the
pass word at home.
Five of the two-man combinations
went over the 1,000 mark.
Gating and Redmond finished second
In the doubles and the Wyun-Chindgren
combination finished the night’s work in
third place.
A stroke of the usual bad luck kept
Saladln from posting a high singles count
that would have caused a little worry.
He opened with 227 and started out for
about the same thing In the second,
but broke at the half-way mark and
couldn’t hit his stride the rest of the
evening.
Hackman didn’t get a double century
but he was fairly good each time and
tied with Weatherbead for tha second
station.
Sturm took the one game laurels of the
evening when he stacked up 230 in his
third singles game.
Welch had a low count of ninety-five
in the doubles play. He went It five
:worse in tbe singles.
Mescall opened with 200 and was right
around that mark In the second frame,
but the third was a heart-breaker.
The Ochiltree brothers will show ’em
what thev can do as a combination to
night. Scudder and Espy will also be
there with all their stuff.
LEAGUE LEADERS LAST NIGHT.
Nordvke A Marmon league, Malott
(Tool Room) 244
Big Four league, Phllfipn (Freight
Claims) 227
Diamond Chain league, Heald (Mur
ray) *.J..206
The Nordyke & Marmon leaguers
knocked ’em cockeyed last night.
The Tool Room outfit crashed for
1.014, 989 and 904. Can’t call that poor.
Malott led the Tool men with 244 In the
first game Giffln followed suit with 238,
and Livingston dropped 225. Giffln and
Malott each got a brace of double hun
dreds.
Reckon as bow you can ail guess what
happened to the Machine Shop, the Tool
Rooms opponents.
Rassmussen sent the Inspectors up for
two wins over the Assemblers after they
had dropped the opener. Pauley did the
big work for the Assemblers.
The Connecting Rods put out a large
amount of class, but the Cutters were
not there to take the beating. They'll
shoot later.
Heald strode to the top of the in
dividual list In the Diamond Chain cir
cuit, guarded by bis 206.
The Murrays handed the Southards a
classy trouncing in the first round, then
got two doses of their own medicine.
Kottlowiski. minus Kottlo. sounds
good, but the Southard Anchor men
would just, as soon have another name,
and get some real counts.
The Blues treated the Moores kinds’
rough, trimming them three times with
out giving them a chance to come up
for air.
The Woods knocked the Mullikins for
a row in the first, game, but got all
that was coming to them in the second
and third.
Phillips of the Freight Claim crew,
made the Big Four league look rather
good when he stuck tip a 227. Hinkler,
of the same outfit, got one almost as
good. y
The Majestic No. Itenm stood for three
beatings at toe hands of the Freight
Claims.
The Engineers didn t. go so very big.
but they were credited with two wins
over the Majestic No. 2 . troop.
Manion and his Local cut a few fancy
capers and topped the Transportation
counts every round.
To be correct one really should say
Manion’s Locals, instead of Manion and
bis Locals. Figure It out.
The Accountants started patting them
selves on the back after their first game
with the Claim Preventions, but before
the evening closed they were trying to
explain for two defeats. Such is life
when one thinks ones self is good.
Fultz opened with a 112, but braced In
the second round and put'the big smack
on 121. '
KICKBACKS FROM BEAM’S.
BY “HANK.”
In the Big Four league the O. S. A'
D. team ran over the Suspense team for
all three games. Clouds of the winners
was high with 179, while Houston of the
same team, besides being ruunerup with
172, also won the watch with scores of
102 and KM, which he blames upon the
pin setters; ..
Kresgefc' pin smashers put the skids
under tte Mitchell Autos for three wins.
HEZE CLARK-
NEWS
and almost ruined the voices of the fair
rooters who screamed themselves hoarse.
The American Railway Express tagged
the Justice Motors for a full sweep when.
“Stiff Hat” Hoyt smeared the pins for
two good counts. When Hoyt lagged
Fitch was or. the job with a 212 and the
agony was ended.
The Hoosler Oils, minus “Dude” Hebbs,
were forced to shoot a blind against the
Daniels, yet they won all three, as
Hamer of the Clothiers broke all rec
ords with a three-game total of 298.
Now Bailer and Keyser are trying to sell
said Hamer to the Ladies' league.
Tt took A. Frick and Parrish to carry
the World’s War Veterans over tbo top
In their battle with the Southeastern*
for the odd game, thereby' setting the
loaders back a notch. Pop Zimmerman
shot well for the leaders, but the fighting
spirit told.
Cant. Collins’ Independents scared the
Bulcks out and they forfeited all three
to the boys who must be beaten before
tbe bunting can be claimed.
That the worm will sometimes turn
Is a well founded fact, and just to prove
It the St. Clair Place caged Nord’s Tigers
tor one win when Pat Burke put In
four In' a row.
Fred Scheimcr was much In evidence
with the “Little Leather Collar.” and
after some mighty efforts he finally at
tached the emblem upon “Buzz” Tegler,
who only smiled and said “Just wait.”
Nordbolt was trying his best, but the
fast place men were not to be denied.
The Ferndales took the odd game from
the Triangles when Art Hoover, to down
the jinx, twisted his cap to one side
and unbuttoned his collar—which said
effort put the railbirds to straining their
necks In an effort to find the swimmin’
hole
It took Moxley to carry the Y. M. S. j
boys to a couple of wins. This boy shot :
a sweet 614 total and Is proving his
class more and more each day as a
finished bowler.
Charles Tegler and “Fuzz” Meyers shot
well for the Pleasant Drives, but when
Will Hohlt drew a wide open split in the
tenth frame of the last game their
chances went glimmering.
The Kestlers ihade a clean sweep of
their series with the Prospect Gas and
crept up closer to the leaders. Neal King
turned in a 215 count in his last game
and Is trying to figure out how It was
done.
The leading Brunswick Tires and the
Southsldes were forced to postpone their
games on account of the city meet and
will battle it out Sunday afternoon at
2:30 In what promises to be a match
worth seeing.
Speedy Play Promised
in Dental-St. Joseph
Basket Clash Tonight
In what promises to be one of the
best basketball games of tbe year Indiana
Dental College team will meet the St. Jo
seph college five at the Marlon club
gymnasium tonight. The game will start
at 8 o'clock. Ross Smith will referee. The
two schools have been rivals In basket
ball for seven years and meet twice each
season. The second game this year will
be played n|t Renssalaer, Feb. 21.
The Dentals took only a slight work
out Friday, giving their attention to
goal shooting. The Tooth Pullers have
not been hitting the draperies regularly
In the last few games and the coach
hopes for Improvement in that part of
the play tonight. Havens will start at
center. With Havens in the pivot posi
tion the Tooth Pullers have been snow
ing improvement in passing this week.
Lange, the tall St. Joseph center, will
oppose Ht.vens. Lange is the larger
man and the supporters of the visiting
team expect him to give his team tbe
advantage in the tip-off, but the Dentals
are confident that Havens Is just as fast
as Lange at covering the floor.
White may be used In a forward posi
tion on the Dental team, If Reeve or Mc-
Pherson are not hitting the goal tonight.
McCarthy and Witter have been going
good at guard for the Tooth Pullers and
no shift In the defense will be made.
