BOWLING
INDIANS PACK
BAGS FOR TRIP
TO SOUTHLAND
Tribe Squad Departs Early
Wednesday Morning for
St. Petersburg Camp.
MORE PLAYERS ARRIVE
Infielders Sehreiber and Long, the lat
ter a recruit recommended by Ollie
O’Mara, were morning arrivals here to
day to join the Indianaapolts baseball
•club as it packed up for the start for its
spring training trip to St. Petersburg,
PTa. Other players were'■expected to
drift In this afternoon and Manager
Hendricks planned to hold a get-to
gether session this evening with the
regulars and rookies. lMtchers Crum and
Ferrell, Infielder Wolf and Catcher Hen
ltne reported Tuesday and all stated they
were anxious to hop the rattler for Dix
ieland. Pitcher Caret and First Base
man Covington will not come to Indian
apolis for the trip, but will go to the
spring camp directly from their homes.
BRONKIE SENDS
DEFINITE WORD.
Definite word has been received from
Herman Bronkle that he can not leave
home at this time due to the serious
illness of his wife. Herman was on the
point of packing up his baseball togs
again when his wife became ill and he
informed Owner Smith that as the phy
sicians had advised an operation ho
thought it best to give up all thoughts
of baseball for the present. Ollie O'Mara
is still a holdout, but th 9 Tribe officials
are confident that the heavy hitter will
join the team because the terms offered
Ollie read In big league figures.
A strenuous spring training schedule
has. been mapped out and Owner Smith
and Manager Hendricks are going to
great expense to give Indianapolis fans a
team to be proud of. The fact that the
pitching staff needs bolstering and that
Veterans Yerkes and Bronkie will not be
present and that O’Mara is a holdout
does not seem to be worrying the club
directors. Owner Smith is going south
with the squad and will be on hand to
aid Hendricks in any deals proposed.
Negotiations are on with a few big league
camps and when the majors begin weed
ing out surplus talent the Indians will
have their nets spread.
EXHIBITIONS WITH
BIG LEAGUERS.
Exhibition games have been Looked In
Florida with tho Washington Americans,
Cincinnati Reds, Brooklyn Dodgers and
Havana Stars and then later games will
be played with Chattanooga at Cnatta*
nooga and on the return home the De
troit Tigers will be met at Washington
park In three games April 10. 11 and 111.
Manager Hendricks is known as a hard
worker In spring training and it won’t
be long until he has the squad stacking
up In condition. The Tribe party ar
rives in St. Petersburg Thursday night
and the first practice will be held Fri
day morning, so it looks like the ath
letes are due to feel the aching kinks
early.
St. Petersburg is advertised as an ideal
training spot, and if that is true Man
ager Hendricks says the fans <-an ex
pect to see an ideal club la Tribe uni
forms the corning season. The pulse of
the fan usu 'ly is low at this time ol
the year, du to the lack of definite in
formation on the probable lineup of the
Indians, but the fact that Owner r*mith
is spending a huge roll for spring train
ing would seem to indicate thut he’s
determined to put a pennant contender
in the field.
19 K. C. BLUES

Only 18 Putts
, for Golf Record
PALM BEACH, Fla., March 9. —A golf
record said to be without parrallei was
made on the ITIm Beach links by John
W. Gammons, president of the Wauna
moiSßetta Golf and Country club, at
Providence. It. I. Playing with Col. J.
Ernest Smith, president of the Wilming

round of the eighteen-hole course, using
ooly eighteen putts, an average of one

He used two putts on the fifth green
and on the fourth his approach shot ran
in for a two. The record was made in a
best-ball foursome in which he nnd the
colonel played James Kenyon and Frank
A. Dicker of Provilence.
Debonairs Ready
for the Ferndales
As the basketball season draws near a
close, the attention of local fans is
claimed by the Debonair-Ferndale scrap,
the windup contest of their three-game
series, to be staged at the Y. M. C. A.
Saturday night. The game is the feature
attraction of the Indianapolis card this
week and, with both teams in the best
of shape and eager for action, should
result In one of the season's classiest ex
hibitions.
The Ferndales ran through long pass
ing and basket shooting drill on the
Haughville court last night and. seem to
be none the worse off for their short va
cation. The injuries to the plavers
which caused them to slow up in their
last game with the "Debs” have all
healed and there is nothing to keep them
from throwing their full strength against
their old rivals.
Coach Squires says his Debonairs,
champions of the City Amateur Basket
ball association, should put up their
best game Saturday and he is confident
that they will trounce the west side ag
gregation.

Basketball Classic
Noosier Net Fans Turn Eyes
Toward Bloomington, Where
Finals Open Thursday .
HOW THE DOPE LOOKS
The greatest and biggest basketball
tournament ever staged in the country
will come to a close on the Indiana uni
versity floor, Bloomington. Saturday
night, after the twenty-six high school
sectional tournament winners battle
through Thursday, Friday, and Saturday,
and, while there are plenty of “wise
birds" who are shock full of information
on who is not going to win the cham
pionship, none is practically fond of
posting his shekeies on any certain team
to come through with flying colors. This
is due, mostly, to the peculiar way in
which the schedule worked out.
READING FIVES IN
SAME BRACKET,
Here's what Is causing all the doubt.
Anderson, Franklin, Martinsville, South
Bend and Emerson are looked upon as
the five best high school teams in the
state, and under ordinary conditions any
one of the number would be considered
with more than the ordinary chance to
cop the big title. However, the condi
tions are far from ordinary. These five
teams are placed in the same bracket of
the schedule and they are going to have
to knock the socks off each and one an
other before they get into the late rounds,
and it is a cinch that all of these “won
der fives" are going to be fairly well
used up before they get a chance at the
teams in the other half of the schedule.
Th-;s means that the Technical High
school athletes, champions of tile- local
district, have a good chance to pull some
surprise stuff. They stack up with Ken
dallville for their first opponent. In
dianapolis dopesters don't know much
about this team, but comparative scores
'how that the east aiders should win
the contest. Then Tech will rest while
others work in the seeond ronnd. having
drawn a bye. The game that the local
fans will be interested in in the second
round will be the one between tbe win
ners of the Jefforson-Bloomlngton and
Oolumbns-Kofeomo games. Tecb will
clash with the team that comes through
this contest with flying colors, in the
third round. Neither of these teams
particularly strong and the stamina of
the Green and White athletes, not for
getting the fact that they have had a
day of rest, should stick them on the
top side of the count. Then come the
semi-finals.
Tech probably will meet Hartford

NEW YORK, March 9—Bobby Jones,
Atlanta’s sterling golfer, who was run
ner-up in the last national amateur
championship, has declined the honor of
going to England as a member of an
American team to compete against the
British cracks in their amateur cham
pionship. Jones was oue of the five se

Champion Herron has also declined the

Entry of Gymnasts in
A . A . U. Meet March 17
Boosts City's Chances
The entrance of the Normal college
of the North American Gymnastic union
into the Junior indoor I. A. A. U. cham
pionships to be staged at the state fair
grounds coliseum, March 17, under the
auspices of the Indianapolis Athletic
and Canoe club, swells the local entry
list to five clubs and gives more assur
ance of classy performances in each
event on the program.
Dr. Carl B, Sputh announced yester
day that the Physical Eds have been
training hard In preparation for the
meet, and they are confident of copping
high honors against the field of Btar
athletes who will gather here from all
big athletic clubs, colleges and univer
sities In the state. The gymnasts are
boasting of their distance men and they
believe they have a two-miler who can
Bhow Paul Koehring, the star of the
Canoe club team, what real speed is.
Quite a bit of rivalry exlits between the
N. C. N. A. G. U. and Canoe club ath
letes and they will fight each other
hard in every event.
The South Side Turner and Debonair
club teams are rapidly rounding into
shape and* they will both bid high for
honors In the track events. Like the
gymnasts the Turners and Debonairs
are strong in distance talent. George
Starbuek. coach of the Debonair team, Is
their star one-mile runner and there are
possibilities of bis copping that race.

the Cincinnati Nationals and New
York Americans, is announced from
the spring training camp of the Bos
ton Americans at Hot Springs, Ark.
Marsans signed a contract with a Red
Sox agent at Havana yesterday, it
was stated. The arrangement by
which the local club obtained Mar
sans’s services from New York was
not made public.
City in their semi-final scrap, if they
get that far. And they are big and
husky enough to give that team a good
run for the money, if not a trimming,
thereby paying their entrance fee to
the final jam.
The Franklin scrappers are picked to
go to tbe final round in the bottom
bracket and it must be said that Franklin
Is one of the big favorites. There are a
lot of other ways to dope out the tourna
ment progress, but there Is no denying
that Tech has an excellent chance of a
lifetime to cop the state rag this year.
They have the "softest" road that has
been pointed out to an Indianapolis school
in the history of the state high school
tourney and are about as husky as any
team In the event.
DePauw Men Name

By HEZE CLARK.
At the close of the most successful basketball season ever enjoyed by
college teams in Indiana, Purdue university is the state college champion.
The class of basketball tn Indiana is
far superior to that played in most
states and this is due to the system used
to determine the high school champions
each year, that Is, by a series of district
tourneys, the winners of which meet a
week Later to fight it out for the state
laurel. Thla training baa developed some !
of the most wonderful players the coun- ]
try has ever known. These men hare j
chosen to attend the various Indiana col- |
leges and as a result the Hoosler colleges \
have basketball teams of extraordinary
class.
WABASH HAS
reel UAR RECORD.
It seems that DePauw has the second
best team <n the state. Purdue defeated j
DePauw twice, but each time It was by j
a margin of only one point However, i
Wabash should have something to say !
about the placing of DePauw, tbe foi- j
lowers of Wabash pointing to that
school's victory over Purdue and the vie- j
tory over Del’auw last week. Both Di
Pauw and Purdue also have victories |
over Wabash, as has Notre Dame and
Earlham, hut Wabash has defeated ,
Coppers Show Boys
They Know Something
About Basket Rules
Basketball is not usually regarded a
rough gnme, but fighting Is rough
sport. Getting arrested for lighting in
a basketball game is still rougher.
That Is Just what happened to two
young athletes at the Chrlst.amore set
tlement. house, 1806 Columbia avenue,
Monday night.
Harold Hedegaard, 050 North Oriental
street. Is alleged to have kicked Paul
McCallle, 1(515 North Arsenal avenue, a
player on the opposing team. That is
said to have started a free for-all tight.
Two new players arrived on the scene.
They were Motor Policemen Flnneran
nnd Belfort. They played forward, cen
ter and guard and won the game for
the police department, for they arrested
both Hedegaard and McCnllle on the
charge of assault and battery.

Earlham and Notre Dome, and Earlham’s
claim to honors is knocked out by two
games lost to Rose Poly. *
The Engineers were defeated three
times by Indiana State normal. The
Teachers lost by a one-sided score to
DePauw and Franklin defeated Hanover,
Rose Poly, Indiana State normal and the
Indiana Dentals, but lost to DePauw.
St. Joseph college and Valparaiso uni
versity also proved to be prominent
teams this year. Wabash defeated Valpo
by a margin of only two points and St-
Joseph won and lost to Valparaiso.
Where Indiana university ranks would
be hard to say as that school had so few
games In this'state, not meeting DePauw
and Wabash as in other years.
The Ind.ana College Athletic league
honors, such as they were were won by
Franklin college, the only member of
the league that was not defeated by
some other I O. A L. team. Franklin
lost to DePauw, but the Tigers are not
in the I O. A. L. The teams in the
I. C. A. L. are Franklin. Wabash. Earl
ham. Rose Poly, Indiana State Normal
and Butler. Hanover no longer is a
member of tho league. Franklin did not
meet Wabash and Earlham. Pike was
the star dc'enslve man of the Franklin
team, but Ross was the big goal getter.
Ills basket shooting was sensutlonal. but
In tho game the writer saw- him work
ho was closely covered and found the
goal on but one occasion. Ross does
not cover the floor well. If be did he
would be named on the first all-state
team. a he is probably the best basket
shot in the state. “Spud" Campbell is
a fast floor guard, and fits playing did
much to place Coach John Thurber's
team high among the schools of the
state.
While it Is impossible to place tbe
teams according to their probable
strength, with the exception of Purdue,
which is without a question the beet
quintet in the state, still it is possible
ti select a mythical five, naming the best
players on the first team and also select
fug two other quint** ami giving hon
orable mention to those players who
deserve it. On the flrst team Cannon
of DePauw and Adam of Wabash are
named as forwards. These two men are
wonderful goal allots and in all games
were the important cogs In their re
spective machines. Dean of Indiana, fa
mous as a foul goal shot, ns well as a
powerful athlete on both offense and
defense, is without a question the best
center in tue state.
Campbell of Purdue is close to Dean,
and Pike of Franklin is the big start of
that aggregation. DePnuw used two
center#--Curtis and Miller—and both
were good. Standau. the Rose Poly man.
la a big athlete, and in some ways ta
close to the class shown by the men
named on the first teams. Gilbert of Val
paraiso la one of the beat goal shots on
am- team in tbe state.
Chnr - h, the Purdue star, clayed both
forward and guard. Asa guar.! he is
equal to the best, but as a forward Can
non and Adams outclass him. Mehre.
the big score man on Notre Dame, played
both center and forward and is given
second team honors. Tllson of Purdue and
Winters of Indiana State Normal are
third team forwards. Few athletes in
the state class with the speedy, power
ful Winters as a goal shot.
It was Purdue's defense that made tile
Boilermakers almost unbeatable. Miller
and White are the pair of guards who
caused the trouble for all opponents
White’s class as a goal shot Is shown
when it is mentioned that he caged
eleven field goals against Ohio State in
the last game his team played with the
Buckeyes Miller probably is the best
back guard that has ever played basket
ball in the state of Indiana.
Phillips of Indiana and Mendenhall of
DePauw make the second best defensive
combination. Johnson, the giant Earl
ham guard, and Burns, the Wabash col
lege star defensive man. are given third
team positions Grater of Wabußh went
big in the game when the Little Giants
defeated DePauw. To mention guards
and not say something of Witter of the
Indiana Dental college team would be
to overlook one of the fastest, cleanest
and best basketball players in the state.

SMITH TO REFEREE)
WILDE-MASON GO
TOLEDO, March 9.—Ed Smith of Chi
cago will referee tbe Jimmy Wilde-
Frankle Mason twelve-round bout for the
flyweight championship of the world here
Friday evening. After more than an hour
in conference with Dave Hughes, man
ager for Wilde, and the Welshman him
self, the Toledo boxing commission came
to the conclusion that Wilde will not
alter his opinion, which is in opposition
to Ollie Peeord of Toledo, as referee, and
virtually gave in on the question of an
arbiter. Hughes and Wilde were given
until Thursday to make their final deel
sion. It is certain, however, the Welsh
man will t-olti out against Peeord, and
in that ev t Smith will officiate.
Wilde’s objections to Peeord are base*
largely on that official's work at the Wil
lard-Dempsey affair last July 4. He told
Ad Thaeher, who is promoting the bout,
that he would not fight for Peeord, and
the referee question was left open n"* 1 )
Monday. Peeord, more* than a month
ago, wnen he heard of Wanes otjecwu..,
gracefully withdrew from any considera
tion, but the commission held out that
be should offieite If it was possible to
induce Wilde to go on with him in the
ring.
M ilde's workout Monday afternoon
with half a dozen heavy sparring part
ners made a lot of friends for the Briton.
He showed some neat speed and disclosed
that he is a past master at the ring game.

GEORGES LANDS
Carpentier Sure to Be Met by
Army of Admirers and
Others.
DUE ABOUT MARCH 20
NEW YORK, March 9.— Georges Car
pentier's marriage to Mile. Georgette
Eleasser In Paris and has plan to sail foi
the United States next Saturday revived*
interest here today in the much-discussed
Dempsey-Carpentier bout.
According to his present schedule the
French boxer is due to arrive in New
York about March 20. He will be met
at the docks by a young army of Amer
ican promoters and managers, seeking
his services for the stage, tbe ring
and the silent drama. No less than half
a dozen “authoritative” announcement*
have been made by Americans who claim
to have first call on Carpentier’s serv
ices. His arrival here should settle sev
eral disputed points.
The new Mrs. Carpentier, though
strongly opposed to boxing, will not
stand in the way to Carpentier’s match
with Dempsey. But indications today
were that no match will be made until
Dempsey is tried on charges that led to
his indictment by tbe San Francieee
grand Jury.
M. Descamps, Oarpentier’s manager,
will bring the European champion here
prepared to negotiate with any promo
ter who has secured Dempsey's signa
ture. It is believed in local boxing cir
cles that Tex Rickard has Dempecey
signed.
Most of those who rush the gates sAd
get by the easterns officials for a real
closeup of Georges and his bride will
want to know when, where and why
Georges Is going to fight Jack Dempsey.
The film men will be asking him If h
know# how to putty his nose, pencil bii
eyebrows, oil his locks, etc. Jack Curley
will be there to learn If he knows enough
Yank language to tell bis vaudeville
audiences a few stories. Then there will
be Just tbe hangers-on with tbe bro
mldlc line of Interview shots —“whaddye
think of America?" “How dye like mar
ried life?” “D’ yuh think yull win?’’
All the business men who want th
champion In on a get-rich-qulcli
scheme will be singing In chorus "how
much?”
Dan Morgan, Paddy Mullins and oth
ers of serious mien who live by steering
some of America's braves away from
the snares and pitfalls of the ring, will
be In the crowd.
Maybe Georges can’t “parley vous*4|
American, but he won’t lose anything
by it. _____
