"There Is too much unrest in base tali. the same as in other walks of life.” fS-ers declared. "I was la position last WSon while with tbe Giants to observe this letetr than before. X do not refer to crookedness so much ns to lack of loyalty to the club owners and to each other. BfsriPLivs AS A CI RE. “Whatever is responsible for this it ! mr belief anew spirit must be devel oped in the rank and file of baseball, as well as among the club owners if base ball is to be restored to It* former place la public estimation. If necessary I am In favor of severe discipline to retore that snirit. It is j tough thing to sus pend players during the heat of a peu nan race bet a better spirit must be ••tablished in some way. "I would like to revive the spirit of the old Cubs. Thev never were paid big salaries, as salaries go today, bu: they played baseball nil the time and for'all thy were worth.

Basket-Ball Talent Crops Out in Gobs at Scarlet College Four Last Year's Crawfords ville and Wingate Athletes Now Attend Wabash. ' -f-ORAWFORDSYILLE. Ihd.. Not. 30 Basket-ball now occupies the minds of the. Wabash sport followers. With foot ball a thing of tho past, the Little Giant rooters are counting on giving support to x speedy aggregation of net tossers dur ing the 1020-21 season. In 1817 the Scarlet college was repre sented by the "Wonder Five." which gained fume throughout the central States as one of the best basket-ball teams ever in the field. Radical fans here are look ing to just such a team this season, al though the wise ones figure that it would take nothing less than a miracle to pnt a five like that in the field. Last year two Hoosier high school ret reams —Crawfordsvllle and Wingate— participated in the big tourney at Chi cago, which was supposod to decide the high kehool championship of the coun try. These two teams went through the meet in ease style and met in the finals. Crawfordsville won in the last few min utes of play. Four of the players who were in that big scrap are now attending Wabash. One of thaso—Goldsberry—was chosen ali-American high school center. This player is from Wingate, Kerr, small, btlt speedy forward, and Thorn, hunky baek guard, are the other two men from Wingate. Shelley, classy Crawfordsvllle forward, also Is a freshman at the Scarlet college. illlstead. the giant right tackle on Jse Wabash grid team, and who won a rftace on ell all-State mythical elevens, is rated as a star net tosser. lie has not yet been seen in action, but will get hi chance right away. Coach Vaughan is expected to have plenty of material from which it Is hoped there can be developed another team on the order of the famojs "Wonder Kivu." The Little Giants will get their first taete of basket bail Saturday night. Man chester College, from the northern part of the State, comes here for a game, then on Dec. 7 Vaughan's crew takos on the Indianapolis Km-Roes at Indlanupolls. DE PAUW FIVE SEEKS CENTER , .OREENCASTLE, Ind., Nov. 30.—With only ten days remaining before the opeu of the De Pauw basket-ball sched ule the thirty candidates for the Tiger varsity five began practice in earnest Monday afternoon on the Bowman gym nasium floor. The curtain will go up on the De Pauw basket season Friday Right. Pec. 10. when the fast Km-Roe five of Indianapolis will appear here to battle with the Tigers. Where will De Pauw get a center for Its basket-ball teem? This la the great est problem conforming Coach Buss at resent. Curtis of Martinsville, star cen ; t nr of last year's five. Is not attending De Panw this year and not a single pivot man has appeared thus far among the new material. T'uless a dark horse ap pears within the next few days for this position, it probably will be necessary to place either Mendenltnll or “Tiny" HJrt at center. Mendenhall played with the Tiger five last year while Illrt, al though a freshman has had three years' experience with the Greencastle High School basket squad. Other positions on the team will rot be so hard to fill, according to the present outlook, with t'aptaln Gipson. Young.

Five of the strongest teams in the "Casey" League are scheduled to do their bit with this eveuing's early birds and It would not be a surprise if they would kick over a few top-notch counts. In the second shift, the Indianapolis News, National Autos and Martin-Parry Corporation should supply most of the feature stunts. The Store Correct, with a total of 2,653. went up into third place last night, copping the only position that was cop ped among the "big ten.” The majority of teams shooting last night were those with records and fans expected to see some cleTer shooting, but it was a great night for the alibi manu facturers. What put the Store Corrects over the line was the nifty t.-tnl of 960 rolled in their third game. This was high for the night and Just what was needed to throw a shower- of dust in the eyes of their opponents. Cook. Martin and King were responsible for this big score, each get ting a good look over the select field fence. Hoosier Coffees went second high for the evening with 2,524. This is no total for the Hoosier combination to stack up. They should have given the tourney a new high count. Southard of the Link Belt No. 2 out fit. was the big ore-game bowler, getting a 236 in the opening game. Magel of the Hoosier Coffees got clever scores at the start and finish, but his middle effort didn’t help much. Bills are about all the Bill Posters can post.

LET BOXING COME BACK Why not boxing In Indianapolis? In nearly all other cities of any size in the State the fistic sport is proving a popu lar diversion and civic authorities rec ognize Its good points in aiding to combat the gpnernl unrest of tlfe public. When properly supervised, boxing provides splendid entertainment and It Is an easy matter to conduct properly, as has been shown in other cities ants States. Only ridiculous objections are made against the glove sport In this city and It's rather amusing to see a few antl-everythtng men wielding a power and influence that prevents ‘the majority from enjoying something It desires. A elean boxing match Is far better en tertainment for the youth of tbe city lhan certain other public entertainment that gets a elean bill here. There Is very Times Columns Open to Basket Squads as New Season Gets Start The athletic stage hand* are read/ to hoist tbe curtain on the basket ball show.
