WEDNESDAY’S RESULTS.
Pair-O-Dlce, 31: Lauters, 16.
•• Y” readers. 11; Debonair*, 8.
South Side Turners, 21; Boys’ Club, 13.
With the semi-finals of the Indianapo
lis district of the 150-point basketball
championship tournament on at the Ma
rion club this afternoon, local net fans
were looking forward to pleYity of action
previous to the big title game at the
same place tonight. If the three remain
ing battles prove as hot as those staged
list night in the first round of play, the
fans will have to admit that the amateur
basket-tossers of this city are capable of
putting on first-class stuff.
The first semi-final round game was to
be called this afternoon at 2:35. The
T’nir-O-Pieo and .Toy and Glooms, both
undefeated fives, were carded for combat
in this attraction. It was to be the
latter dub's first appearance In the tour
ney. <as it drew a bye in the first round,
while the "nice'" won tile right to meet
them by trouncing the T.auter quintet last,
night.
The big show was expected to couio
■ tfi when the South Side Turners and
"Y” Leaders clashed at. 3 o'clock today.
( apt. Rice of the Turners Is confined
to his bed with an attack of Influenza,
but Geot filled every inch of bis boots
in last night's game with the Boys’ duo
and the fighting south siders were deter
mined to help their leader hack on the
road to recovery by stacking the Leaders
up in the corner.
Trouncing the “Y” outfit will be no
child’s play. This team played a won
derful game to defeat the Debonairs In
<<heir first-round game last night, and
after the battle was over they passed the
word nloug that they saved a little extra
stuff to use in their semi-final round en
counter. The Leaders can go fast from
whistle to whistle and their offensive
machine is one that will tax the strength
of any pair of guards In the state.
DICE BOYS
NOT PISHED.
Nothing can be told of the strength of
the Pair-O-Dice team from their game
with the Lanter club last night. They
defeated the west side athletes, 31 to 16.
without being forced to produce any of
the speed they are said to put out in’ the
pinches. "Ited" Underwood was the big
cog in the winning machine, playing a
great game on ttie defense and scoring
six goals from the field. Tomlinson also
went good for ttie winners, while “Dutch"
YYolf packed all the class of the Lauter
five.
she Debonairs and Leaders were on
their toes ail the way through their
scrap, which turned out to be much
idoser than predicted. In the first half
the "Debs’’ didn't seetn to get together
until Coach Squires sent a few substi
tutes into the lineup, but this was just
one minute before the half ended with
the Leaders in front, tt to 2. In the sec
ond half tlm Green and White warriors
Tightened up and were slowly gaining
on their opponents when the final whistle
sounded with the score 11 to S against
t hem.
TURNERS WIN
WITH RICK OCT.
The Turners deserve plenty of credit
for their victory over the Boys’ club.
They took the floor Inst night with t'apt.
Kite otYt of tho lineup but they plnyed
their opponents off (heir feet and their
passing and team work caused quite a
bit, of talk Hioonk' those present. Johnny
Hennessey took Hire's place at the long
distance shot station and caged tour
field goals. Grund teamed with the for
mer Shortridge star and counted front
the floor three times. The other three
members of the squad deserve much
credit for their wonderful guarding. .Toe
and .Mike Rosenthal were . the shining
lights of the losing team and .Toe would
probably have made more than three
baskets had be been playing opposite
anybody but Seerest. Seldensticker kept
Mike away from the basket.
The amateur fans of the city showed
Wayne Emmeliuan, manager of the tour
nament. their appreciation for his ef
forts to put Indianapolis up In the
front ranks of the sporting world by
packing the Marion club gymnasium
from the ground up last night, and after
■witnessing such a great show they were
expectced to come back tbL afternoon
and tonight and bring their friends
along. The tournament has all the ear
marks of being the biggest and most
successful independent amateur event
ever put on in Hoosierdom, and if it
■works out without a hitch Emmeltnan
plans to make it an annual affair.

WEEK-END GAMES.
Friday Night—Broad Ripple vs. Greens
burg, at Greensburg; Shortridge vs.
Tipton, at Tipton.
Saturday Night—Technical vs. Lebanon,
at tlie local "V”; Manual vs. Martins
ville, at Martinsville. .
The Broad Ripple quintet will certain
ly have an airtight alibi If it loses to
Greensburg tomorrow night. Coach Dicus
will not be able to accompany his prote
ges. as he Is confined to his home seri
ously ill. Ronald Garrett, mainstay at
the center job. will also be among the
absentees, he being under a physician's
care as a result of injuries suffered in
recent games. “Reddo” Morris, forward,
1s out with the flu. and Osborne has In
jured his "busted’’ thumb again. Out
side of that. etc. However, what is left
of the squad will make the trip, and
we're not saying they won’t bring home
the bacon.
Shortridge is facing Tipton, at Tip
ton, Friday, still minus Stevens and
Vorhes, and it will be a pretty hard task
for the north aiders to equal Tech’s 30-
to-2 win over Tipton.
The Tech-Lebanon game Saturday
night will tie of intorest to local fan's
because of the recent Shortridge-Lebanon
contest played on tln> same floor, which
will present an opportunity for compari
son of scores. Tech has the slight ad
vantage over Its local rival iu having
occupied ringside seats at the former
game.
We’ll inform the universe that Manual
has a tough one In Martinsville, but
that fighting, never-say-die south side
five is just about due for a change of
luck and may fool the w-ise ones.
IVHY LIZTON LOSES.
Last Saturday night Mooresville de
feated Lizton, 21 to 20. That Shortridge
recently whaled Mooresville, 32 to 24,
would be cause for a display of chest.i
ness on the part of the Blue and White
were it not for the fact that the Llzton
team which has been getting trimmed
regularly of late is not the same quintet
that ran up twenty-two straight wins.
The cream of (he Llzton squad retired
from the game at the beginning of the
new semester, having completed their
limit in high school athletics, under the
rules of the I. H, S, A. A.
MANUAL WALLOPED.
TIPTON, Ind., Feb. s.—Tipton High
school had little difficulty in defeating
the Manual High school basket team of
Indianapolis here Wednesday, 44 to 5.
The local quintet was weakened by the
loss of Muston, star forward, but the
great playing of McCarthy at a forward
station aided the offense of the locals
considerable. McCarthy scored ten field
goals. Liebold counted seven field mark
ers for the Tipton quintet. Manual did
not use all its regular players.

RICKEY OVERRULED;
GIANTS GET HORNSBY?
When Branch Rickey stepped down
from president-manager to manager of
the Cardinals a few weeks ago it was still
generally thought be retained full say-so
on any action taken by the St. Louis
club. But now they’re telling a story
around the stove league circles that
Branch Isn’t to have full say so on every
thing. At least, he isn't going to have
his own way about Rogers Hornsby, the
story goes.
The latest tip is out that Rogers
Hornsby will be sold to the Giants at
the big baseball meeting in Chicago next
week. It is said the Cards will take
probably four players and some cash In
exchange. Rickey has declared all along
that Hornsby would not be sold. He
said the club kept Hornsby when money
was badly needed and now that the
club showed earnings for 1019 it cer
tainly wouldn't entertain any idea of let
ting the crack infioldor go.
Rickey contended that Hornsby be
longed with the Cards that they would
be foolish to let such a man go. Bit
other baseball men do not agree with
Rickey. .Some of the bst heads In the
game declare they would let Hornsby
go If they could get several good players
In exchange for him.
The Yankees got Ruth and the Giants
have to do something to make themselves
solid with the fans of New York. Horns
by Is the man they want. Ruth is with
out doubt the greatest drawing card In
the game today He will draw more fan*
through the turnstiles than Ty Cobb or
Walter Johnson ever attracted. But
Hornsby isu't such a flnshy player despite
the fact he is n wonderful fielding star
ami a corking good hitter.

polo group and as this game is easily

probably wili lie ail right to add a little
water polo to the Tribe's spring training

whether to fish or play water polo is

Beam’s No. 3 league. Sylvester (Inde
pendents) 321
Maybe you think this Fox boy of the
Knights of Columbus loon didn't make
the clubs put up their dtiaes last night.
In the first, place he leathered them ior
a 254 count, the highest one-game score
produced, then went for 251 and 168, get
ting the nifty total of 673.
F'oxie heaved his mincralitc in favor of
the Columbians and that crew didn’t have
to work to take three games from the
Christaphores.
Ed Quinn is still going in tournament
style, but tbe rest of the Christaphores
don’t seem to tie able to get that way.
While the Genoa* were rejoicing over
the return of Johnnie Yott, the Ferdi
nands slipped through for a brace of vic
tories.
Farrell and Mentzer were out of line
until they hit the third pole.
Mike Kelley was happy today His Sal
vadores took three straight from the
Marquettes and Michael himself helped
things along with a 221. (faring got a
236 in the third round and the "Sallies"
hung up a 908 /total, breaking their
world's record.
The Calumets kept fooling around and
the first thing they knew it was time for
them to sing tlie “Blues." The Niuas wal
loped ’em in the first two rounds.
Sheridan had about as much luck get
ting wood as a housewife has getting
enough sugar to keep the family going. ,
Kirkhoff No. I took a whirl in the lastj
game for the Ninas and came near get
ting a hundred.
It is all right for "Doc." "Dump" and
“Fat” to get below the 150 line, but when
"Tatts" goes down to 91 it. is time for
him to pull himself together, nr out.
The Pintos threw potato peelings on
the name of their valiant leader, Alley 1
Canning, by dropping two to the Santa
Marias.
’Twos a cloudless battle, that which
the LaSalle* and the Isabellas fought,
but Just the same the Issics were crop
pies when they came out of it.
Short and stocky Johnny Klingm'.n
drew a few bows and a lot more cuss ;
words from the Elk warriors when he
thumped out a 232 coun in his final
game. That was the best in the loop.
(’obler and Myer end a half dozen
other* got double centuries for the Ant
lers and they triumphed over the Tails.
Miller and Nelson hit for 200 for the
Tails, hut they didn’t have anything
to precede or follow with. However,
they gave the switch abouts a second
game win.
The Eyes dropped to a tie for second
place when the Kars pulled ’em into
camp for three wins.
The Teeth went up to an even footing
with the Eyes by winning two from
the Hides.
Feachey was the nnlv Hoof that looked
like himself and they were easy victims
for the’ Shin Bones.
Kourbier stepped lu behind Johnny
Klingman when he crashed out a 221
count.
Sylvester’s 224 was the best one-game
score posted In Beam’s No. 3 loop. He
got it In the second round and started
the Independents on the road to o double
victory over the American Railway
Express.
The Daniels didn’t get all the pins in
this world, but why should they when
tho World War Vets got so many the
score keeper fell asleep waiting for
something to do? Yes, the Daniels took
the series.
Imagine Tallman and that 111 he got

The Easterns are sorry they gave the
