BOWLING
BRONKIE BACK
WITH INDIANS
BY PURCHASE
Veteran Third Baseman Re
turns in Deal Arranged
by Hendricks.
BOLSTERS THE INFIELD
Herman Bronkie. former mainspring of
the Indian's infield, is coming back to
dop the Tribe spangles as a result, of a
deal arranged by 'Manager Hendricks,
■who hopped off 1 to St. Louis early today
and got quirk action with the St. Louis
Browns, with whom Bronkie performed
lhst. season. When Bronkie formerly
guarded the third corner for the Indians
he was captain and proved an excellent
field leader. He is an aggressive player,
a spectacular fielder and a good class
AA hitter. Therefore, the Indian infield
lineup now stacks up probably better
than last season despite the trade of
Sammy Crane to the Cincinnati Reds.
Bronkie will onthit. Crane by many
points and with O’Mara, Yerkes and Cov
ington occupying the Other infield posi
tions Indianapolis is assured of a near
major league lineup in this department
of the team. Ollie O'Mara will be shifted
to shortstop, according to present plans,
where he is expected to field up to stand
ard he set at third base last season.
O'Mara. Y'erkes and Covington nil hit
..100 or better last season and with
Bronkie crowding this mark it looks
like opposing A. A. pitchers are going
to find trouble with the Indians.
NO ROSY PATH
FOR THE UMPIRES.
Bronkie is a high-class baseruuner
also, and here again the absence of
Crane hardly will be felt. With O’Mara
and Bronkie, both above the average in
aggressiveness, playing on the left side
of the Infield, the umpires will have to
call ’em right or they'll hear a double
roar, supported by Covington from the
right.
The Bronkie deal Is only a starter in
■Manager-Hendricks’ plan to bolster the
Tribe and now that he has his infield
practically settled he will begin strength
ening the other departments. All of
which makes the fans feel that the first
year of the W. C. Smith regime Is going
to he a winner for their favorfte Indians.
While in St. Louis Manager Hendricks
planned to talk "turkey” with the St.
Louis Cardinals also* and he may have
other good news for the fans on his re
turn tomorrow.
jjSociety Women Strong
It for the Pugilists With
the Least Discomfiture
NEW Y'OKK. Jan. 20 “Counting the
punches!” is the feminine way of referee- ,
lng a prize fight, according to Mrs.
Theodore R. I’el], one of the three so-;
clety women who helped judge the win
ners In boxing 1 bouts for wounded sol
diers of the Fox Hills hospital on Staten
Island. Mrs. Pell, who was assisted by
Miss Constance Cottenet and Mrs. Ed
ward McVtcar, gave her impressions to
day:
”1 just watched, and if a punch missed.
I counted it up against the man. I
figured that tne one who breathed
easier and showed less discomfiture at
the end won. Before I dreaded to see
two men box, but now that I have seen
it from a ringside seat, I feel different
about it.”
Turners Ready for Two
Fast Games This Week
The South Side Turner quintet will get
a real workout this week. They stack up
with the Chrlstamores, at Chrfstamore.
Friday night in the third round of the
city amateur basketball loop, and Satur
day they will piny off their postponed
game with the Physical Eds at. the
Athenaeum.
Capt. Rice ran his squad through a
light drill on the Turner floor last night
atid another practice will be held tomor
row evening. Rice is not worried over
the outcome of his amateur league game;
all he asks is that his players come
through the scran without injury, so that
they'will be able to show their full
strength against the gymnasts on the
following night. The teamwork of the
south side lads has improved creatly
within the last week and their followers
are confident of victories over the Christa
mores and Physical Eds. It is probable
that Giet and Volrath will work at the
forward stations against the Christa
mores, so that Rice and Hennessey will
be fresh for the Saturday night contest.
Wabash Meets Rose
CRAYVFORDSVILLE. Tnd., .Tan. 20.
Wabash and Rose Poly will meet here
tonight in one of the few T. C. A. 1,,
games on the Scarlet quintet’s schedule.
Rose won a place on the Wa,bash card
last week by defeating the Earlham
squad. The Terre Haute combination
is playing good basketball this season
and it is believed that the Wabash war
riors, still sore as a result of their rough
and tumble battle with Earlham Friday
night, will have a hard time winning.
The regular Wabash lineup of Spencer
and Adams, forwards: L. IYtter. center,
and Capt. Hunt and Bums, guards,
will start the game.
Scanlon Stays at Purdue
LAFAYETTE, tnd., Jan. 20. —Arthur
Scanlon, for the last two years football
coach at Purdue, has signed up with Di
rector of Athletics Kellogg to coach the
Purdue football squad during the coming
season. Scanlon came to Purdue in 191.8
and coached the S. A. T. C. football team
that year. He accomplished what many
coaches had failed to do for twenty-three
years, that of defeating Chicago. The
Boiler Makers heat the Maroon eleven, 7
to 8, in 1018. Last year Scanlon made a
fine record with what, material he had.
Starting the season with but one or two
veterans, his team held the champion
ship Illinois eleven 11 to 7, defeated the
Michigan Aggies, and after a desperate
ly fought battle, fell before Coach Roek
ne’s Irish eleven.
Huston Still Hostile
NEW YORK, .Tan. 20. <’oi. Huston,
part owner of the Yanks and the field
general of the anti Johnson army, is
back on the job after a hunting trip in
the south.
“There is no significance in she lull in
legal proceedings. They are moving
slowly, as legal things do.” he said. “Our
feelings so far as Johnson is concerned
have not changed and we propose to push
our case against him as hard and as far
as possible.”
"Y” JUNIORS WIN.
The “Y” Juniors defeated the-Broad
Ripple grade school team yesterday 20
to 10. The victory marked the second
one for the “Y” five over Broad Rippb*
team. The first half vtas 9 to K ip, favor

Alex, Killefer, Robertson, Her
zog Are in for the 1920
Season.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20.—President William
Yeeck of the Chicago Cubs was due in
from California today. During his three
week sojourn on the Pacific coast Veeck
succeeded in arranging a number of exhi
bition games with coast clubs for his
Cublets.
The task which now confronts the Cub
boss is the signing of a big pertion of his
ball club. Contracts will be gone over
this afternoon and will be put in the
mail tomorrow.
Only five of the Cubs now are under
contract. Outfielder Robertson and Tn
fielder Herzog’s contracts still are in ef
fect, being the contracts assumed by the
Cubs when these players came to the
team. There is some satisfaction in
knowing that this mighty nifty pair of
athletes await the departure of the train
ing camp special. .
The signed contracts of that famous
$50,000 battery, Grover Cleveland Alex
ander and Bill Killefer. also are safely
tucked away in the Cub safe. One might
say that with the signing of Herzog, Rob
ertson, 'Alexander and Killefer, the Cubs
have done mighty well In the matter of
lining up their 1920 talent. The signed
contract of Pitcher Speed Martin will be
brought back from the coast by Veeck.
who met the twirler in Los Angeles.
Veeck and Manager Mitchell are of the
opinion that Martin will he a mighty
handy man up ou the north side the com

Marion County High

Basket Tourney Here
Event to Prepare Teams Out
side of Indianapolis for
State Meet.
Fourteen teams are expected to com
pete In the Marlon County Township
High School Basketball tourney to be
staged at the Marion club gymnasium
Friday and Saturday. Jan. 30 and 31,
Owing to the lack of gyms in the small
: townß in Marion county the basketball
teams from those places seldom gfet the
right sort of practice and, naturally,
they are seldom able to compete with
the teams from larger cities in high
school competition. A. W. Dtcus of
Broad Ripple high school has organized
the Marlon County Basketball associa
tion for the purpose of giving the “small
town” teams a chance for mure action
on the large floors of Indianapolis.
The tourney carded at the Marion club
will be the first held by the Marion
County association and as several teams
•have already stepped to the front, with
applications for entry the success of the
event is assured. The teams eligible for
competition are: Acton, Beech Grove,
Broad Ripple, Ben Davis, Bunker Hill,
Castieton. Cumberland. Fisher, Lawrence,
New Augusta, New Bethel, Oaklandon.
Southport, Valley Mills and West
Newton.
SEVERAL TEAMS
OF HIGH RANKING.
The tourney will be no “second rater”
by any means. Several of the teams
(petitioned on the eligibility list have
ranked with the best, teams in the state
for some time. Ben Davis is going
great 1 this year, looking more like a
championship outfit in every game.
Castieton, Lawrence, Broad Ripple and
Abton are also considered strong op
ponents by all teams in the I. H. S. A. A.
These teams are not the ones that need
practice on the large floors. It is the
teams.in a class with New Bethel, Flsber
and Southport that need this and the
stronger teams are being let In on the
tourney so that the smaller combinations
will know bow to handle them when
they open play in the state high school
event.
The tourney is considered by men con
nected with’high school basketball ss
the best thing that could happen for
the small schools of Marlon county and
it is a safe bet that the experience they
gain by it will be a big help to them
•when they open play in _tbe big bifcb
school basketball classic of the year.

La?t night’s shooters didn’t have any
wood to give away. Wattle Martin was
the only one that got anything to make
him feel good. He registered 614 In his
singles efforts and drove up to the sec- j
ond place. Axline was the only other ;
man that landed among the first ten In
the singles. He holds the tenth place
with 569 clubs.
The douhles performers were all out j
of luck. Reynolds and Chryst went Into
ninth place with a 1,1)82 total and Vestal
and Sweetmaii got the tenth with 1.065.
These were the only combinations that
had strength enough to attempt an In

he gave the boys fond for gossip by got

the sponge after he got three mlsmig and
three wide opens. His last game brought
him 148.

Dolan and Albers got as many double

Martin didn't get anything in the

You gotta give Broioh credit for try- 1

Vets vs. Vets When
Star Triangle# Meet
the Em-Roes Tonight
Lots of Inside Stuff Promised
at Big Game at the
Y. M. C. A.
BACON LEADS VISJTORS
Veterans of the basketball court will
clash tonight at the Y. M. C. A. when
the Em Roes and the Dayton Triangles
mix at 8:30 o’clock. A preliminary con
test will see the Physical Eds meeting
the Boys’ club team at 7:30 o’clock.
All the basketball strategy and crafti
ness known to the game will likely be
dished out In the contest, for the Day
ton Triangles boast of a record in Ohio
similar to the one held by the Em-Roes
in the Hoosier state. Four veterans of
the Triangle five will he seen in the
contest against the Em-Roes. They will
be Zimmerman, Thiele, Mahrt and Reece,
while Francis Bacon, the leader of the
team, played first with the Triangles In
1918. He made his record while a mem
ber of the Wabash Wonder Five.
Four members of this team have been
playing together almost as long as the
Em-Roes, and it can he said the Dayton
Triangles have one of the strongest corn,
binations ever traveling out of Ohio.
Three members of the team are also
playing on the Ft. Wayne K. of C. team.
They are Ra<*on. Reece and Zimmerman.
Knowing they wilt face the Ft. Wayne
train Thursday night at Ft. Wayne, wita
.possibly two other stronger men than
tlie Dayton team will carry, the Etu-
Roes know they must win this contest
tonight if they hope to compete success
fully with toe Btouebraker Bacon team
in the northern part of the state.
Although Behrenf. has a dislocated
finger, it is expected he will be able to
enter the lineup tonight. However, ts
his injured member hinders his play, the
Em-Roes will have Babb to shove in Beh
rent’s place. Babb is an experienced
player and his presence in the game will
make the team just as strong as If Beh
rent plays. Last night the Em-Roes held
a bard practice session in which the
•team showed marked ability to hit the
basket. The condition of the team la
much hotter than al any time this sea
son. Hard contests with Purdue and Pe-
T’auw served to put the team in tip-top
■ shape for the balance of the season.

Meehan May Coach Syracuse
SYRACUSE, Jan. 20.—John F. (Chick)
Meehan, field coach last season, is promi
nently mentioned as the successor to
“Buck” O'Neill, who resigned the job
here to take charge of Columbia’s foot
ball team. Meehan’s success with the

that he will be appointed head coach.

BOXING
BOXING BILLS
PLACED BEFORE
N. Y. ASSEMBLY
Army-Navy-Civilian Board
Said to Be Behind One
Measure.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—The fate ol
two boxing bills, which have today been
presented to the New’ York state legis
lature at Albany, will be watched with
keen Interest by boxing promoters in
thlrf, section, who are in the race for
Dempsey-Carpentler fight.
One of the bills, introduced by Suff
tor James J, Walker of New Y'ork, would
create a state boxing commission and
permit fifteen-round bouts. Fifteen
rounds, it is argued, is practically a
“championship” distance. The army,
navy and civilian board of boxing con
trol la said to be behind this bill. The
other bill, presented by Assemblyman
Harry J. Ross of Brooklyn calls for
twelve-round bouts, and also provides for
the appointment of a boxing commission.
Both bills provide for decisions.
Should either, of the Mils become a law
It is considered a certainty that the
Dempsey-Carpentier fight will be held In
the United States. A twelve or fifteen
round bout to a decision, it is pointed
out, would assure the boxing fans of
their money's worth. While watching
the fate of the boxing bills with interest
the various promoters have been practi
cally brought to a standstill in engotiat
lng for the big fight. Charles B. Coch
rane, who plans to sail bars to England
next Saturday, firmly maintains that he
has an option on Carpentier’s services
and today exhibited a cablegram from
M. as much.
Tex Rickard, who Intimated that he
might have an interesting announcement
to make as late as a week ago, is still
mum. It Is believed Rickard Is waiting
on the decision of the state legislature
with regard to re-establishing boxing.
William Fox, whose offer for the fight
has topped all others, is waiting on the
fate of the boxing bills as well as an an
swer from Jack Kearns.
