NOMINATES 3
CARS FOR RACE
Great Driver Enters Fronte
nacs Designed Especially for
1920 Indianapolis Classic.
1919 RECORD AMAZING
Three Frontenac cars, designed espe
cially for the comang International 500-
mile race on the Indianapolis motor
speedway, Monday, May 31, today were
nominated for the big Hoosier event by
Louis Crevrolet, one of the speed game s
greatest drivers, and rival of Fred Due
senberg and Harry Miller for the title
of master designer of American racing
cars.
The attention of the entire racing
world will be focused on Chevrolet's new
creations when they first take to the
track, as the famous Fra neo-Swiss, when
given a free rein, invariably procures
results that are sensational and startling.
LETS SPEED OUT
OF EIGHT UAHS.
In the trio of Frontenaes that he cam
paigned during the last several seasons
lie astonished the racing world with their
unprecedented lightness, secured through
the use of aluminum on a scale that had
been regarded as impossible. Chevrolet
conclusively demonstrated the soundness
of his ideas, however, by sending bis
fragile creations through a succession of
the most gruelling contests in history,
and by wining a majoritity of the events
in which they were entered.
On the point system of scoring the
Frontenac team easily outdistanced all
competitors in 1911), with a total of lo.tlSu
, points, ns against 12.820 for its nearest
rival, and in the field of track events it
took the last ten contests of the season
with but a single miss, when Ralph De-
I'aima broke through for a win at
Bheepshead Bay.
In this city thp Frontenac aggregation
performed the feat of qualifying all its
members at better than KJO miles an hour.
Racing luck, however, played havoc with
Its chances during the 1919'contcst. the
finish finding it in seventh and ninth po
sitions, Louis Chevrolet and his brother
Last no surviving.
Partisans of Aiticrisa in the forthcom
ing Hoosier speed international classic
derive much satisfaction out of the fact,
therefore, that the brilliant Franeo-Swiss
Is preparing three special Frontenac cars
for the contest. The, European invasion
promises to assume greater proportions
in 1929 than ever before, and every ounce
of American inventiveness and daring
will be neede to successfully repel the
assault of the foreign legions.
Attorneys Reaped Coin
in Big League Row
NEW YORK, Feb. 14,-Tbe legal
action taken by the New York Amer
ican baseball club by Ban Johnson,

BIG MEETING CLOSES
CHICAGO, Feb. 14.—Ban Johnson hav
ing been finally located, after a lapse of
twenty-four hours, the minor leagues at
last got their wish Friday and put over
something which they had not expected.
Mr. Johnson came to the Congress hotel
Friday morning and announced that he
was ready to meet with the minor league
committee, most of whose members had
remained over. President Heydler was
still here, and so a meeting was hastily
called.
Thp minors continued their demands
for a man of their own selection to help
in the determination of disputes involv
ing a major and a minor league club.
Thursday President Heydler of the Na
tional league had argued strongly against
this proposition, pointing out that a na
tional commission which was good
enough to decide all major league cases
should also be good enough for the
minors.
JOHNSON COMES
TO MINORS’ AID.
But Ban Johnson unexpectedly agreed
to the demands of the minors, and ar
ringement was finally made which sat
isfies them. It was agreed that the na
tional board, which is the executive com
mittee of the minor leagues, should ap
point a man who will act with the chair
man of the national commission in de
ciding ail cases which involve a tnvjor
and a minor league club. Should these
two fail to agree in any case they are em
powered to appoint a third man, who
shall be neutral, to give the final deci
sion. The two major leigue presidents,
who are ox-offlelo members of the com
mission, will not act on any of these
cases.
This makes a rather cumbersome ar
rangement- In comparison with the
smoothly working conditions under
which the commission has operated for
so many years, but it was made neces
sary by the lack of confidence reposed
by the minors in the commission, as
it may possibly be constituted. All the
delegates present said that if August
Herrmann had been retained as chair
man they would have been satisfied to
leave their cases in his hands. The
minor leagues are very anxious to re
sume relations with the majors under the
national agreement This matter was
referred to the two major league presi
dents to act on after consultation with
their leagues. As the American league
has already voted not to resume rela
tions it is likely that the minors’ re
quests wi'l be refused.
The old national commission was to
hold its final meet today and clean up
all old cases before Chairman Herrmann
permanently retires from office. It was
possible that the new chairman of the
commission would be announced bv
Presidents Heydler and Johnson.
Judge Kenesaw- Mountain Landis Fri
day announced that he refused to be a
candidate for the chairmanship of the
national commission. He sent word to
President Heydler of the National league,
asking that his name be withdrawn from
the list of six submitted at the joint
meeting. Harvey Woodruff seems to
have the call for the position, with Sena
tor Walker of New York also favor
ably thought of.

Crippled Turners Run
Rings Around Southport;
New Players Look Good
The South Side Turners, with Secrest
and Hennessey, their star forwards, out
of the lineup, took another step toward
the state independent championship last
night when they defeated the Southport
Independents, winners over several of the
crack teams in the state, by a 32 to 18
count, on the Turner floor. Tn the first
period to visitors fed the ball to Smart,
former Franklin college star, and his
clever shots from every angle of the court
kept the spectators on their feet. A dis
tance shot by Middlesworth, with thirty
seconds to go, gave the Turners a 12 to
10 lead at the half-way mark.
In the second period Seldensticker took
charge of Smart while his teammates
started an offensive drive. Middlesworth.
Mendenhall and Conn, in Turner harness
for the first time, made a big hit with
the fans. Smart was easily the star of
the Southport squad, while Chpt. Rice
registered his usual number of clever
shots for the Turners.
The Turners will practice on the soutu
side floor tomorrow afternoon ami at that
time Capt. Rice will announce several
games be has carded with strong state
quintets. “Brooks” Secreet's injured
knee is improving and he prqbably will

(Cutters) 221
Diamond Chain League—Thatcher
(Woods) 202
Just a certain few got double cen
turies in the Nordyke and Marmon loop.
Stritt was made leader of the smart set
when he unbalanced 221 in his first
game.
Brown, a brother Cutter, evidently did
Lis derndest to knock Stritt from his
Jierch. getting a 220 count, and another
ust about as good.
The Office had Sudhoff and Fisher to
hit the wood in the right way every
frame and they collected the fruits of
two wins over the Cutters. Andrews
could have changed the time of this with
just the smallest bit of class.
The Connecting Rods didn't get many
200 scores but after losing the first game
to the Assemblers by one pin they came
hack for two easy wins.
Buckner put ’em over the line in the
final round with a 213, the only double
century produced on their side of the
fence.
The best, thing the Engineers could do
with the Tool Room was loose two and
tie one.
The Big Four shooters got far more
than Is their usual number of joy pro
ducing scores.
The Freight Claims and Locals cast
off the novice disguises and went out
after real stuff, which made their match
something worth while.
Phillips and Hinkler stuck right
around the double hundred mark every
time, and they gave the Freight (Haims
a brace of wins with 900 totals attached.
Evans shot a winning stick, getting
two double centurips and one not such
a long way off. Mahan also went big,
getting a 224 In th last game, hut it
was the old, old story of dead freight
teammates.
Doyle of the Majestic No. 1 combi
nation envoked the envy of the crowd
when be uncovered a variety of 234 stuff
and took the one-roimd honors.
The Majestic No. 1 team rolled three
good ores, which the Majesties No. 2
will roll against at a later date.
The Accountants slipped over an easy
win after they had dropped two to the
Mechanical Engineers.
Fehr gave the Transportations their
big scores and Denk supplied the draw
back. eventually they lost three to the
Claim Preventors.
Thatcher's 202 was the best individual
count registered in the Diamond Chain
circuit.
The Woods started out by dropping one
to the Moores, hut the time came when
they got organized and won a couple.
Can you imagine a buucb of "he" howl
ers producing a 489 total? That's what
the Millikins did in their second effort.
The Southards won three games from
them with monkey scores.
The Blues also went on the rocks and
couldn't offer the least bit of resistance
to the Murrays.

Illinois' chances are seriously impaired,
but even at that the Ora*nge and Blue

since no rival has left the Urbana floor

Hurlers Chief Need Now, He
Sags—Bressler Not Coming
to Indians.
SMITH STILL SOUGHT
All the tribe officials were back iu the
city today after a successful sojouru in
Chicago, and they expressed keep satis
faction over their success in securing
Outfielder Callahan and Infielders Schrel
ber and Wright. Manager Hendricks
says there is still some negotiating to be
done ir order to complete the Wright
deal, but he believes he has better than
a fifty-fifty chance of putting it across.
The Rube Bressler rumor 'was merely
Chicago stove league talk, according to
Hendricks, who ssys that when he made
a bid/ for this player as a part of the
Crane deal with Cincinnati he found that
the Reds could not turn over the star to
Indianapolis because a few major league
clubs had plans ~et to claim him by the
waiver route. Therefore, the Tribe boss
still has a man coming from the Redsi
and it is understood that the Indians
ha\e an excellent chance of obtaining
Shortstop Jimmy Smith, who was
grabbed by the New York Gianls on a
previous occasion when the Reds at
tempted to transfer the player to Indian
apolis. Pat Moran is pulling wires, how
ever, to influence McGrow to permit the
infield star to play in a Hoosier uniform.
PUTS OFT LINES
FOR PITCHERS.
President William C Smith, Sr., and
Vice President William C. Smith, Jr.,
attended the • h'.cago gathering with the
Tribe managers, and they were elated
over the deals made lor tho Indians.
With Outfielder Callahan In the fold the
club's outfield looks fair enough as 't
is if Zwiiliug and Rehg return nud play
up to the standard they are capable of
delivering. Hendricks is hot after pitch
ers at preseut and will giro much of
his attention during the next week to
ward ling up talent for the box.
Hendricks brought hack the word that
Cozy Dolan, former Indian, former ma
jor leaguer and last reason manager of
the St. Joseph Western league cham
pions, has been appointed Chicago Cuh
coach. Ho will act as Manager Fred
Mitchell’s assistant, and his iong service
in baseball no doubt. will prove of valu

is an excellent coach also and Chicago
funs are due to see some real antics

Indiana Five Defeats
lowa in Sensational
Overtime Game, 25-19
BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. Feb. 14.—1 none
of the hardest fought basket games ever
played here Indiana defeated lowa, 23
to 19. in a five-minute overtime contest
last night. Indiana kept a lead of a few
points on the westerners all through ‘he
first half, but the real battle was staged
hi the second session when the Hawk
eyes came up from behind shortly aftor
the play was resumed and soon obtained
a three-point lead. Capt. Byrum's me.n
also showed their mettle again and over
took the visitors, tying the score at 19
as the gun was fired.
The two teams rested five minutes
before resuming play and when the play
opened again Indiana was complete mas
ter of the situation, playing a brand
of ball seldom seen on any floor. The
men from lowa fought hard, but failed
to get an open shot: at the basket. After
three minutes of play, in which the
Crimson missed several chances. Dean
scored from under the basket, and Dono
van added a couple of more field goals
for the remainder of Indiana's points,
the last one being a sensational over
head throw.
The Hawkeye squad rested here last
night and goes to Lafayette today to
play Purdue.
FAST ONE TO ST. MARKS.
The St. Marks copped their sixth game
by defeating the St. Paul five, playing
in the Northwestern league. The score
stood R to 6 at the end of the first half
in favor of St. Paul, hut the consistent
playing of Ernsting and the accurate
shooting of Dazey brought the game to
St. Marks. 16 to 15. Snyder making the
winning basket just before the final
whistle.
They May Take ‘Love*
Out of Tennis, but Not
Out of the Players
HONEST-TO-GOODXESS MIXED
DOUBLES.
Recently a move was launched to take
“love” out of tennis, but the efforts
fniied, though some net leaders are
still urging that, a change be made that
would separate that term from the sport.
That’s all right, of course, but what
ever happens Dan Cupid is still going to
hold forth to protect his Interests and to
see that love is not taken out of‘the play
ers, even though “love” disappears from
the scoring rules. For Instance, there's
Bill Erwin, former Technical High school
champion, and well known in city and
state net circles.
Bill not only believes in love, but he’s
foing to prove it, and he’s going to have
ohnny Hennessey, widely known Indiana
net figure, as one of the witnesses. Yep.
you guessed it. There's going to be a
wedding tonight and Bill Erwin is going
to be one of the principals, and Hen
nessey is going to be there as best man
for Bill. In this new mixed-doubles af
fair Erwin is going to team with Miss
Fanny Waddy. Miss Waddy and Bill
met on the tennis courts two years ago
and acquaintance soon ripened into love.
So chalk up one more match for D. Cupid.

“Sailing Orders”
If you're weary of the office
And your step has lost Its snap.
If you're looking for a life that fits
A big two-fisted chap—
If you want to go a-roving
All this Jolly old world round,
Come a-runnin', runnin', buddy.
When the bugle starts to sound.
For we’ve got our sailing orders.
And there’s joy in all our
hearts—
O, we’re dropping down the river.
And it's hey for foreign parts!
It’s hey for Guam and Haiti
And the beach at Wakaiki!
The Marines have got their orders,
And they’re putting out to sea.
If you're tired of the factory
Or you’re weary of the plow,
And you don't find any romance
In the Job you're doing now,
Here’s a chance to go a-roving
To the place Adventure's found,
So come a-runnln’, buddy,
when you hear the bugles
sound.
They’re cheering from the ferries.
And they’re waving from the
shore;
The dull old life's behind us
And the new life lies before.
We're oft to make talk “howdy”
With the Moro and Chinee.
The Marines have got their orders,
And they’re putting out to sea.
The young man who has not felt
the call of the sea, who has never
known the “wanderlust” that
restless hunger for the sight of
strange foreign lands and stranger
people—he does not exist. But
how many men neglect their op
portunities and grow old without
ever having wandered very far
*from their own home towns.
What have such ifien gotten out
of life? What have they to look
back on but a monotonous round
of uninteresting toil? How they
must envy their moro fortunate—
or perhaps more daring—fellows,
who have traveled and seen and
done —who have lived life to the
‘full!
How the “stay-at-home" must
regret his lack of enterprise, as he
elts, one of an interested group,
while some ex-Marlne spins yarn
after yarn (and true yarns they
are, too) of his adventures on toss
ing seas and under tropic skies.
The Marine and the Wide World
At the moment you are reading
this there Is hardly a country on
earth where there are not United
States Marines, doing men’s work
—yes, and playing, too, as real
men play—storing up health and
memories that will last them to
the end of the chapter.
There are Marines down in Cuba,
picturesque old Cuba, almost as
Spanish today as when the red
and yellow flag of Spain floated
over Morro Castle. In Haiti—the
queer little republic, where the
colored folks speak French, Ma
rines are helping to slap bad little
bandits on the wrist—when they
misbehave. That’s life—life with
just enough danger in it to make
U worth the living.
There are Marines walking the
streets of f London and Paree. They
are hearirtg real ukeleles on a real
beach at Wakaiki. They are In
the Philippines and "somewhere
east of Suez,” where Mr. Kipling
tells us “there ain’t no ten com
mandments and a man can raise a
thirst.” Maybe It Isn’t as bad as
that, but the Orient Is mighty In
teresting.

RIVALRY KEEN
IN MONTGOMERY
COUNTY RANKS
Chance of Crawfordsville and
Wingate Meeting in Tourney
Here Stirs Fans.
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind.. Feb. 14.
All Montgomery county basket fans are
looking forward to the Indiana 150-pound
tournament to be held at Indianapolis
Feb. 27 and 2S. Two teams are going
from Montgomery county for the big ama
teur classic, the quintets being Craw
fordsville and Wingate high schools.
These two schools were declared inelig
ible in the Indiana High S'hool Athletic
association early this season and up to
that time basket dopesters over the state
declared the I. H. S. A. A. championship
would have gone to one of these schools.
Crawfordsville and Wingate are bitter
rivals in athletics, and It is for that
reason that these two schools have not
met this year. Many times this sea
son, it has been tried to bring these
two “wonder fives" together, but efforts
always have failed. Each of the two
high school quintets has lost one game
this year, Crawfordsville losing to the
champion Em-Roe* by four points and
the Wingate five fell before the Darling
ton team in an overtime game by one
point. The Em-Rocs defeated the
Darlington club by four points, wljich
by "dope’’ will give Crawfordsville a
one-point margin over Wingate.
The schedule announced by the tourney
officials shows that these two teams
will not meet until the semi-final round,
if both teams are successful in their
first two games. Wingate plays the
Broad Ripple Joy and Glooms team in
the opening round. Should the Joy and
Glooms team win over the Wingate out
fit, then Marion county will have a good
chance of copping the first Indiana inde
pendent amateur basketball title.
Crawfordsville will have to oppose a
“dark horse” In the first round of play,
when it will stack up against the Muncie
Maroon quintet.

Home Life of the Marines
No Marine ever seems to
one place long enough to get rusty.
When he Is not just off for for
eign ports or just coming home
from service abroad, he Is on one
of the big battleships which are
always on the move from one port
to another. Today he may be In
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the
next bound for France or Con
stantinople. or goodness knows
where.
And when he's on duty In the
States he may he at any one of a
number of Interesting places—
Quantico, the station just out of
Washington; the League Island
Navy Yard, at Philadelphia; the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, at New York;
or he may be at. San Diego, in
sunny California, or Mare Island,
in San Francisco Bay.
Work Time for she Marine
The Marine’s life Is not all play.
There’s work to be done. But it’e
a man's work and interesting.
There are short, snappy drills
that teach a man to be on his toes.
There are setting-up exercises
that give a man a chest like a bar*
rel. There are hikes, short ones at
first and gradually increasing,
that teach a man to walk on his
own two feet, and like It. And
there’s rifle practice,- But that
Isn’t work—that’s sport. There is
wireless telegraphy and signal
work to be learned. There Is
training In scouting and wood
craft. Maybe you didn’t know
that every Marine is a regular
Robinson Crusoe when It comes to
making himself comfortable in a
wild country.
There Is artillery practice and
something of sailing, rowing and
seamanship. For a Marine is a
sailor as well as a soldier. But
It’s good work —all of it.
In addition to giving a matt
physical fitness and mental alert
ness, the Marine Corps gives
plenty of opportunity for learning
a trade that will mean big money
for him after his discharge. Thou
