New York Influence
Watched in Naming
New Baseball Head
Senator Walker Believed Man
Who Will Become Com
mission Chairman.
CHICAGO. Fob. 23. Baseball fans are
now awaiting the announcement from
President Johnson of the American league
and President Heydler of the National
league of the man chosen to be chair
man of the national commission in place
of Garry Herrmann. They are wondering
if the appointment, will prove Johnson
as victor In the recent controversy and
wnetker a man will be chosen wjio will
iron out some of the difficulties that per
plex organized baseball.
Who will it be?
Johnson and Heydler have five names
to consider. Judge Kenesaw M. Landis
of the federal bench was on the list but
he has withdrawn his name from con
sideration.
One Chicago man is left on the list —
Harvev T. Woodruff, sports editor of the
Chicago Tribune. He is a wise veteran
In sports, a man of integrity and with
out bias. He has received the endorse
ment of the newspaper men of the coun
try Interested in the national game, and
it has been said that he bears the stamp
of approval from both Johnson and
Hevdler. Since the withdrawal of Judge
Landis he has been spoken of as the
leading candidate.
The chairman will he announced one
of these days and until then the fans can
only surmise. Rut there are plenty of
under-the-surfaoo things which make
surmising interesting. The unprejudiced
observer lamping thing;, from a conven
ient spot notices several things. He no
tices that the New York Giants are the
most influential team in organzed base
tali. He notices that President Stone
ham had a great deni to say. during the
recent Chicago meeting, about the re
adjustment intended to bring about
peace.
GOTHAM HEAVY
FINANCIAL AID.
He notices, also that the greatest finan
cial benefit which baseball has received
in re-’ent years comes from the New
York law permitting • Sunday baseball.
This law has brought big revenues not
onlv to the Giants and Yankees, but also
to ail the other teams which play Sun
day games In New Y’ork. It is vitally
interesting to all big league teams that
Sunday baseball be retained in New
York and spreid to Mcs.-mchusetts and
Pennsylvania, if possible..
Among the men mentioned for the
chairmanship—in addition to Judge Lan
dis and Woodruff are "Big Bill” Ed
wards, former football star, now a New
York politician: .1. C. Toole, an eastern
attorney: Bob Young of Washington, and
J. .T. Walker, a state senator of New
York.
Now. State Senator Walker is the man
who had most to do with putting over
the new law in his state allowing base
ball games on Sunday.
The owner of the most Influential team
is naturally the warmest adherent of the
Sunday baseball law and he had the
most to say In determining affairs at
the Chicago joint conference of mag
nates. After having noticed all these
factors what's the best guess?
Answer: That State Senator Walker Is
the man slated to succeed Garry Herr
mann.

THE POST MORTEM.
The two outstanding features of the
week-end basket contests were Manual’s
27-to-12 victory over Richmond and the
fine game the Shortridgers put up at
Martinsville. The former contest, while
not particularly noteworthy for "inside’’
stuff, showed that the south sidprs are
worthy of the splendid support that has
been accorded them by their student
body, and their "comeback" is taken by
all Manualitea to mean that the Red and
White quint will fight to the last ditch
in the district secHonal battle a few
days benee.
It seemed to be the opinion of Martins
ville fans Saturday night that Short
ridge provided the strongest opposition
that the Morgan county quint has had
this Season. It was a bang-up exhibi
tion of the great Indoor sport, was any
body's game until the final pop of the
gun, and the 3 point difference in the
score might easily be figured as the ad
vantage of a home floor. Blue and White
followers claim the showing made puts
them right up among the state cham
pionship contenders. Incidentally, the
Martinsville folks called attention to the
fact that the Martinsville team which was
defeated by Columbus last Friday night
was the “second” team. The dope also
behaved in the Shortridge Pendleton
fracas, and the north aiders rung up 11
points for every one of the 3 which Pen
dleton counted. Not a single field goal
was registered by the Madison county
hoys, o ho were clearly outclassed. Three
of the local schools have trimmed Pendle
ton this season—Shortridge (33 to 3),
Manna! (IS to 17) and Technical (25 to 9).
Technical ran true to form and easily
copped th Muneie contest. The bril
liant work of Griggs made up In a way
for the nhsenee of Slaughter. Two of
the local teams have defeated Muneie 0.1
the Muneie floor—Shortridge (25 to 15)
and Technical (25 to 17).

Picks Up.
The few days remaining before the
opening of the state 150-pound Inde
pondent amateur basketball tournament
at the Y. M. C. A. will be busy days
in the camps of the eighteen teams en
tered. The likelihood of Crawfordsvlile
and Wingate meeting again has provided
the fans with something to talk about
and many basket followers predict Win
gate will stage a comeback if it gets a
i second c-ack ?t its rivals,
1 At any rate there will be plenty* of
j action in the tournament and Crawford?-
| ville and Wingate will not bo the only
1 star fives in the running. There are a
number of teams not so well known in
this section that carry enviable records,
and the possibility of a dark bor>-o
springing up is not at all improbable.
The Evansville Lincolns. Aurora Inde
pendents and the two Logansport teams
as wel las the Joy and (.looms of
Broad Ripple, all stack m> strong, and
r.ny of ttiis number is likely to beat
any opponent.
Interest is state-wide in the event, and
all of the contests are bound to be
, classy. Wayne Hmmelman, tournament
director, has gone to great length to
; put the event over successfully and out
of town fans will be tak--n ' .ire of • n

for Crucial Battle
With Detroit Stars

Top Form for Big Game
Tomorrow.
A heavy practice grind tonight will
put the Em-Roes on their marks to meet
the invasion of the Detroit Rayls to
morrow evening and Capt. A1 Feeney
stated today that his quintet will be
more fit to tack up a winning score
against the middle western
claimants than It has at r.ny other
lime during the season. Advance dope
on the Rayls tells the same story, and
one of Indiana's greatest independent
battles should be fought when the com
binations clash.
The Uayl-Etn-Roe game will be played
on the “Y" court, following a curtain
raiser between the Leaders and Ferndaio
A. C. The latter aggregations have
been going at a merry clip in the ama
teur ranks, and their show should be
of more Interest to the fans; than the
ordinary preliminary.
The Rayls h3ve been carrying on a
campaign against the leading teams- of
the middle w-est for the last two months
and during that time have stacked up
a pile of eighteen victories to offset the
black mark of three defeats. The Chi
cago and Michigan university quintets
are numbered among their victims. No
announcement ha. Iwen made os to the
official Detroit lineup, but the locals will
start with Klein and Sehoeueman, for
wards : Rice, center, and Behreut and
Feeney, guards :
