SQUADS SHOW
BEST OF CLASS
Turners and Anderson Replace
Montgomery County Fives
in Meet Here.
FIRST GAMES FRIDAY
With the withdrawal from the state
150-pound independent basketball tourna
ment of the Crawfordsville and Wingatt
high school teams, the meet at the local
V. M. C. A. Friday and Saturday
an official event for state amateur In
dependent teams, and in many basket
circles fans regard the withdrawal of
the Montgomery county fives as a good
' thing for the meet. Both Crawfordsville
and Wingate are “outlaw” high school
casket teams this season, due to their
suspension from the Indiana High School
Athletic association and the fact that
they were to compete among the Inde
pendent amateurs was not received with
favor by a number of followers of the
game.
Crawfordsville and Wingate both with
drew rather late, but Wayne Emmelman,
manager of the tourney, has replaced
these fires with the South Side Turners
of this city and the strong Anderson
Y. M. C. A. quintet, both popular or
ganizations. The reason given for the
withdrawal of the Montgomery county
squads was that the players of
teams were out of condition ns a re
sult of participation in the strenuous
meet at Cincinnati last week, riiercfote.
after looking over the list of the state
amateur teams and their records, Kromel
man picked the Anderson Y. If. C. A.
quintet to take the place of Wingate In
the tournament and the South .Mde
Turners to fill in the vacancy left by
the withdrawal of the Crawsfoi dville
elan.
MEW SQUADS
HAVE RECORDS.
The fans owe Emmelman a bit of
praise for the Judgment he used in pl*rk
ing teams to take the places of the
MoDtgomerv county quintets on 'he
schedule. Thev both bear remarkable
records and will surely keep the stun
dard of plav hleh. The entry of the
Turners gives Indianapolis direct rep
resentation in the big event. The Joy |
and Glooms of Broad Rtnple. champions
of the local district, will still represent
Marion county. j
The Turners are the chotcp of Emmel
man and the fans to represent Indiana
polis in the tourney for two reasons.
First thev have defeated every amateur
team tn this city and vicinity. Joy and
Glooms excepted. Second, they were run
ners-up in the local district play and
lost their only game of the season in
that event when the Joy and Glooms de
feated them after going two overtime
periods in the Anal scrap. The team is tn
perfect condition for action in the state
meet and ready to play through the
strenuous schedule.
The Anderson “Y” athletes are Idols
of Madison county independent ranks.
in the recent Madison county tourna
ment they non the championship in a
walk, defeating a number of >jnsy teams,
and they Intend to repeat here. With a
record of thirteen v ins and no defeats,
it looks as though it Is going to take
something big t bust up their plans
The Anderson combination will make its
debut in the tournament at 7:1! Friday
night against the Joy and Glooms and the
Turners will play their first game at 8:15
Friday evening, at which time they meet
the fast Muncie Maroons.
JOYS AND TURNERS
MAY CI,ASIC AGAIN.
The Anderson and Muncie teams are
two of the best in the state, but the
Joy and Glooms and Turners are eonti
dent of victories over them. Should the
Ripple men and the Turner quintet win
their early-round games they will clash
in the semi-finals. Memories of the game
these two teams staged In the local dis
trict play will live for several years
among the fans who were on deck and
there Is nothing to keep them from put
ting up ns good an exhibition if they
dash again. Dawson. Joy and Gloom
captain, has stated that he is anxious to
meet the Turners in the state event and
prove to the fans that their previous vl<
lory was not brought about by the ab
sence of Johnny Rice from the Turner
lineup.
Season tickets for the tournament are
en sale at the G. H. Westing, Stnith-
Hnssler and Sturm, and Em Roc sporting
goods stores.

BASKET BALL
Em-Roes Make Hard
Fight , hut Fall in
Battle With Ray Is
Locals Beaten Out by Two-
Point Margin in Thrilling
Basket Game.
The Em-Roes lost one of the most
sensatioual and bitterly contested basket
battles staged on an Indianapolis court
in several seasons to the Detroit Ra.vis,
23 to 21. at the Y. M. C. A. last night.
Clever floor work and brilliant shots
by Dermody, tbeir midget forward, gave
the visitors their victory.
Several times the visitors tore through
the strong Era-Roe defense and made
foints from under the basket, and when
hey were unable to get clone they let
Dermody show hts speed ability. The
little forward ■scored fourteen of the
Rayl points. The flashy guarding ot
Marty Kavanaugh kept the local for
wards from showing what they could do
under the loop.
The Rayls started off with a dash and
stacked up five points before Sehoene
man counted first for the Em-Roes. After
ten minutes of play Capt. Feeney’s team
started a steady march to the front and
when the half ended they were leading,
12 to U. “Gllck" Klein brought tin.
spectators to their feet several times
during this period with his sensational
long shots. The Rayls stacked up an
other five-point iend at the beginning
of the second half and managed to keep
In front until the final whistle sounded.
In this period Kline nnd Kavanaugh
put on more speed than they displayed
in the opening stanza and the Em Roes
had to take nil long range shots, Kline
the Detroit center, is one of the host
men ever seen at (bat position here. The
summary:

HOW DO THEY GET THAT WAY?
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.
Isn't It queer that no one ever gives
the new champion credit for his win.
Wo go back to the Sullivan-Corbett
fight. Sullivan up to that time was
unbeatable. He had toured the coun
try and toppled all before him. He
even boxed an exhibition with Corbett
in San Francisco. When he was
matched with '‘Pompadour Jim” he
laughed, saying that the Californian
was a dancing master and couldn’t bust
a pane of glass with his wallop. Sulli
van's hackers bet four and five against
one that John L. would win. Don’t you
think they saw his condition? Don't
you think that men offering those odds
knew something?
Yet after Corbett knocked John L.
out the world declared that poor old
Sullivan wasn't in fit form to play a
tough game of pool.
Jack Johnson knocked out Jim Jef
fries at Reno and was on the short end
in the betting at two to one. Jeffries
trnined n year for his fight. The writer
was with Jeffries for six weeks at Ro
wardennan, Cal., and watched him (billy.
He was In great shape. Ills newspaper
friends told their renders so. Jeffries
declared himself that he was n*)ver be
fore in such shape In his life.
Two doctors who examined him the
day before the fight said that he was
the most nearly perfect man physically
that they bad ever pot a hand on. Yet
he was knocked out after fifteen gruell
ing rounds.
I'hen .left's friends howled like wolves.
“Poor old Jeff an old lady could have
afeti hiui. He was a wreck. He was
only a shell.”
Next we come to Jack Dempsey and
Willard. The latter worked like a bea
ver for months. He was in great shape.

Six games scheduled for the final neck
end before the district “sectional" prom
ise some of the best basketball of the
season. The desire to top off the sched
tile with wins is prompting the hardest
kind of work on the part of the local
quints.
Vincennes puts on a matinee perform
anee at the north side gym Friday, and
Blue and White followers are digging
around in the dope. They have uncovered
the comforting facts that Martinsville
bent Vincennes. 35 to IS and 30 to 2ft,
while the S. it. S. held Martinsville to
31 to 28: that. Bedford boat Vincennes. 43
to 17, and beat Shortrldge, 2ft to 25; A’tn

and White turned the same trick to the
tune of 44 to 14. Vincennes beat Manual,
43 to IS. nt V'tncennes. In her own gym.
with her regulars In line. Shortrldge has
n right to this one. On Saturday eve
ning Tatlock’s men entertain the Cot#-
nersville basket shooters and should ring
down the curtain on their schedule with
another win. t'onnersville has been an
“in-and-outer" this season and has met
few teuins of the front rank.
Manual should lie the favorite In her
clash with Thorntown Friday evening.,
in spite of the fact that the Thorntown
basketeers beat Shortridge recently, 21
to 18. The Mnnualßes should be prepared
to play their hardest, for the Thorntown
floor is n big handicap to visiting ten ins.
Thorntown has lost to Technical (41 to
0), Llzton (31 to 6), Lebanoti (40 to 10).
Browngburg (23 to 8), Mnrtlnsvvllle (55
to 12), Darlington (28 to 131 and Jeffer
son <2l> to 3). The Culver contest the next
night will be a tough one,' and a victory
over the cadets is hardly probable. How
ever, that’s not saying it can't be done.
Technical should annex the game Sat
urday night, with Jefferson High of Ls
fayette. Out of twelve games reported.
Jefferson has won from (Manual (31 to
21), Bloomington (18 to 13), Mitncle (22

The last time Broad Ripple met Dan
ville. Ripple lost. 18 to 15, but that was
the contest in which Garrett was injured
in the first minute of play and was out
of the game. The contest was on the
Danville court. The Rippleites are eti
titled to the edge in the dope for this
bout, provided Coach Dlcus will me his
regular lineup. Danville should not be
too lightly considered, at that, fer the
Hendricks county boys have played some
topnotch games this season, returning
victories over such teams as Browusbnrg,
Zionßviile, Darlington and Mooresviile.
ANDERSON HOPES FADE.
ANDERSON Ind.. Feb. 25.- The lo<*
of Arthur Dyking, center, and heavy man
on Coach Staggs' speedy Anderson High
school five, due to an attack of scarlet
fever that will keep him Id bed for five
weeks, has lessened Anderson's hopes
for both the district and state tourneys.
Anderson has been regarded one of tho
“big three" teams of the state because
CHARLES LOGAN
SPORT
He was always favorite in the betting.
He lasted three rounds before that
fighting Irishman Dempsey. Now the
Willard admirers say that he was fat
and unconditioned—wasn't himself at
all.
None of them are when they meet
their master.
Willard today is tbe best heavyweight
in the world barring Dempsey.
If these Dempsey knockers don’t, think
so. why didn’t they bet a piece of jack
against Wiilard with someone? He can
fight. He showed more against Demp
sey than he oyer showed before. He
showed a heart, nnd that’s a lot.
HERE'S A REAL CHAMP.
Dear Tad: #
I saw the letter by the manager-of
‘‘Chicken Neck” Nelson in the paper the
other day. Why, that Nelson was a
small time guy compared to my man.
I manager the champion diver of the
world. We called him "U-9" Daly. lie
only fought once, but In that fight broke
every world’s record for diving. He
could see a punch start ten feet away
and Immediately submerge. That's why
we called him “U-9” Daly.
He fought a guy named Meyer Clan
cy once. The fight was culled no contest,
as tho referee collapsed.
Duly went down twenty times in each
round. You can't heat that. T round
cmislata of 180 seconds. Daly did, a Mc-
Kay twenty times, and each time for the
count <>f nine. In the second and third
rounds he continued his good work. He
didn't fight one second In any round.
The referee got a cramp In the right arm
from counting, while his left went to
sleep.
Me called It no contest, ns he was
forced to retire. 1 claim all records for
"U-9” Daly.
Yours, PETER POTTER.

The Machinists took the Liners into

The competition In Ream's No. I league

CUE GOSSIP
Wrestling Brought
Back on City Sport
Card by Charleson
First of Series of Bouts Prob
ably Will Be Staged
March 8.
Indianapolis is to see some first-class
wrestling shows within the next few
months, according to M. Charleson, a
local promoter, who plans to revive the
mat game In this city with a aeries
of bouts that will likely be staged at
Tomlinson ball, the first of these being
scheduled for Tuesday night, March 8.
Charleson formerly conducted wrestling
here with considerable success. It was
he who brought Steeher, the new world's
i champion, to Indianapolis several yen s
j ago, and he asserts that Steeher v\.<
I be among tbe cards whom he will oft'ei
! hero during the spring.
The program for the first show has
I not as yet been completed, hut it is
announced that the main go will be
between two first-class heavyweights,
I and that all bouts will be to a finish.
| two best falls out of three. Local
j grapplers will be used in the preliminar
i les, but most of the talent will be Im
ported, us Indianapolis hasn’t had a
! top-noteh wrestler in the heavyweight
j eiass since Charles Olson was in Ids
prime.
; Never in the history of the game has
j wrestling been as prosperous as it Is
' today. Interest in it Is nation-wide.
: and New York is wildly enthusiastic
: over the sport, as was demonstrated by
tbe $73,000 house which witnessed the
recent Stecher-Caddock bout, In which
Steelier regained tbe championship. Then,
too, there 1* an entirely new crop of
mat artists that are going good, most
of whom have never appeared here, hence
there should be no dearth of talent for
Charleson'* shows. He expects to hold
bouts about twice each month.

Valger of New York. Kilbane and Valger
