Evers went into conference early with
President Veeek of the Cubs, regarding
plans for next season and spent most
of the day at the club's offtces. Both
declined to 50 into details regarding
possible changes In the team, but Evers
Indicated that he expects to inaugurate
t few chances in the personnel of the
team and in the matter of discipline as
well.
Sidestepping the local equation with
which be declared he was not wholly
familiar. Evers said he was certain a
ngw deal was necessary in professional
baseball oil the field, as well as on It.
for the purpose of restoring the old
fighting spirit among the players—a
Mir it which was built on loyalty to
tM eltib and which in itself made any
possibility of crookedness out of the
question.
"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. It was n mat
ter of }>e.rstical pride and loyalty with 1
them. If I can get the present Cubs
Into the same frame of mind we won't
need a let of changes on the team to
make, it a winner. I feel sure.”

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.

Knights of Columous bowlers will be
the objects of chief interest in the first
shift of city tournament honor chasers
on the Democratic drives tonight. 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.

with the ball, Robertson's greatest
strength lies in his kicking ability and
sensational work on the defense.

with a 2-0 triumph over the Shelbyville
Commercials grid team. Arlington has

SAINTS CLAIM TITLE.
The St.. Philip A. C.'s claim the 75-
pound grid title of the city since de
feating the Military Midgets. 21 to 13,
thus removing the last obstruction from
their path toward the top rung. Teams
disputing the claim of the Saints to their
title should call Woodruff 7851, so that
a game can be booked for Brooksldo
Park Sunday.
Indianapolis football players returning
from Gary, are of the opinion the census
authorities were mistaken In rating the
Steel city third in Iloosicrdom. After
that game Sunday they believe Gary Is
entitled to first place without any argu
ment.

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. The great winter sport
is rapidly increasing In popularity
In Indlunapolls and over the State,
especially among the independent
amateurs and high school boys.
There are hundreds of teams now
being organised throughout the State
and prospect* for a big season are
more glowing than ever. A number
of (earns even got started before the
football boys finished; but In most
cases the big teams waited until the
padded warriors put their tog* away
and are now ready to lilt a fast
stride.
This Is the time to arrange games,
announce line-up# and to get Into
the spotlight by reporting early vic
tories. The Daily Time* sport
columns are always open to the
hasketeer* and managers of teams
are invited to send In scores and
other announcement*.
The early bird catches the worm,
and the basket-ball manager early on
the Job gets the best gome*.
Both city and State results and
announcements are desired.
little physical danger In the sport, far
less than In football and auto racing, so
why not boxing In Indianapolis? An
derson, Muncie, Lafayette, Goshen, Terre
Haute, Gary, East Chicago and South
Bend are among the Indiana cities now
supporting boxing and it's about tune
Indianapolis shook itself loose from
some of the smaUtown restrictions still
in operation here. ,
With anew interest created In boxing
there would be less curbstone fashion
plates and less gasoline parties on the
county highways.

—said Judge Fred W. Freeman
recently. Continuing, he added:
"The oil business today in all its
phases from production to refining,
to marketing, is the most compet
itive business in the world.”
The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is but
one of 16,000 organizations interested in
the petroleum industry in the United States.
Each of these is performing a useful service
or it would not be in business. Competition
eliminates the unfit in the oil business, as it
eliminates the unfit in every other line of
endeavor.
The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is
here today because it has made good.
The energy of the Standard Oil Company
(Indiana) is concentrated on making good
in a big, constructive way.
The territory served is probably the most
important farming territory in the world.
The Company’s opportunity for service is
great, and the need for its service is ever
present
Every year the farmers of the Middle West
need petroleum products in greater volume.
They demand products of standard quality,
delivered at regular intervals and at rea
sonable prices. Only through a complete
organization of men, trained by years of
experience, can so complicated and impor
tant a service be rendered.
The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is
such an organization, ana by concentrated,
co-ordinated effort, from refiner to tank
wagon delivery, it is able to render a service
to the farmers and others who depend upon
the Company for material which enables
them to perform tasks essential to the
public welfare.
The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is
directed by a group of seven business men,
trained in every phase of the oil industry,
and is operated by 23,000 loyal men and
women, who are devoting their lives to the
business.
Its owners, the stockholders, are 5526 in
number, no one of whom owns as much as
10 percent of the total stock.
Any one may become a part owner in this
Company, by buying its stock in the open
market.
