EDDiE
ASH
HEARNE FIRST
TO ENTER NEXT
500-MILE RACE
Veteran Is Early Bird, Same
as Last Year—Will Pilot
| Disteel-Duesenberg.
LONG CAREER OF SPEED
Eddie Hearne, familiarly known as
"Grandpa” Hearne in racing circles, will
again have the honor of carrying the
numeral one on his car in the tenth
annual 500-mile sweepstakes on the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30, the
same number he carried in 1031.
"Grandpa” is the tirst 1923 entrant
and one of the four veterans who com
peted in the first 500-mile race eleven
years ago. Except for a few years spent
on the dirt tracks, Hearne has been a
star on the “big time” circuit of the
road, track and speedway events. Xu
his 500-mile competition he has a total
of 1,915 competitive miles, with a sec
ond place to his credit in 1919.
A year ago Hearne drove a Revere. but
a balky oil pump eliminated him after
311 laps. Until his mechanical ill luck,
Hearne was running with the leaders
and always within striking distance of
Milton and I>e Palma, who divided first
place throughout the race. During the
277.5 miles Hearne had been running
from fourth to sixth and was fifth when
eliminated, having made three stops for
adjustments, tires and fuel.
Hearne will be driving a Disteel-Due
senberg in the coming race, the same
car he used in the closing events of the
1921 championship season. His car is
fast and Hearns was one of the 1921
season’s most consistent performers. In
the championship races Eddie placed in
all but two, the Indianapolis 500-mile
and the Washington's birthday sprints
at Los Angeles. He finished third in
the championship ranking, with 1.399
points to Roscoe Sarles’ 1,980 and Tommy
I Milton’s 2,230. In the ten races in which
Hearne placed he finished winner twice,
got one second, three thirds, one fourth,
two fifths and one sixth.
While Hearne carries the name “Grand
pa” he is not an old man, having re
cently passed his thirty-fifth birthday.
In his early successes he used foreign
cars, using the Italian Flat and the Ger
man Benz. He was most successful
•with the latter, winning several of the
Indianapolis sprint events, which pre
ceded the establishment of the 500-mile
classic. Hearne is wintering at hi*
home in Los Angeles and will contest
In the coming events on the various Cali
fornia speedways.
Hearne's most sensational victory last
season was in the Los Angeles event
Thanksgiving day when he drove his
Disteel-Duesenberg the entire 250 miles
without a stop, averaging 107 miles an
hour.

He Thinks Freshies Will
Study More if Barred
Ofl the Varsity Teams
CHICAGO, Jan. 14.—Enforcement of
the one-year rule, barring freshmen
from athletic teams, was urged for all
colleges and universities in a resolution
adopted Friday night by the Association
of American Colleges.
The resolution was presented to
Charles li. Richmond, president of Union
College, who declared that adoption of
the one-year rule by American colleges
would eliminate what he termed the
present tendency of schools to “buy”
prep school athletic stars.
“When the prep school stars realize
that they can not play on the col
lege team during their first year at
college, they will pay more attention
to scholarship In selecting the college
they wish to attend and they will pay
more attention to their studies after
they get there,” said Dr. Richmond.

RING GOSSIP
NEWS OF THE DAY IN
Judge to Put Stop
to Tampering With
Star Ball Players
Would Expell From Baseball
Guilty Ones—Recent Cases
Bring Action.
CHICAGO, Jan. 14.—Tampering with
the other fellow’s ball players is about to
become a hazardous business. At the
joint major session in December this
subjet was gone over thoroughly, and
it came up again at the meeting here
of the baseball advisory council. The
next move will be made by Judge Lan
dis, commissioner, who is preparing an
order that any magnate, manager or play
er found guilty of. the practice will be
expelled from organized baseball.
For many years prior to the Landis
regime the governing powers in laseball
made an effort to stamp out this prac
tice. Certain clubs, however, persisted
in making overtures to players, and they
always got away with it, simply be
cause the old commission never was able
to obtain proof sufficient to plaster on
a fine, which Is the present penalty.
Landis’ decision to promulgate anew
order making tampering a serious mat
ter was not reached without reason. No
particular Instances have been mentioned,
however, although it Is a good bet that
some manager or club has brought on the
ruling by dealing with a coveted player
with the Idea of making him dissatis
fied with his job and thus bringing about
his transfer.
One thing that probably has had a
bearing on the pending order is the case
of Eddie Roush, the Reds’ outfielder. The
management of the Giants has let it to
known, in a roundabout way, that Roush
would fit In nicely with McGraw's ma
chine. The result of this Is that the fly
chaser has made ridiculous salary de
mands on the Cincinnati Club, with the
added clause that it Garry Herrmann
does not want to pay the money, the New
York Giants will. And the chances are
that New York will get him.
There is still another case that may
have had something to do with the new
ruling. For many weeks a story has
been floating around to the effect that
the New York Yankees had made over
tures to “Red” Faber of the White Sox.
It is said that an emissary of the Yankees
talked shop with the star hurler here, but
found “Red” not at all anxious to leave
Chicago.

Franklin Is Winner
MARTINSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 14.—.
Franklin High was too much for Mar
tinsville here last night and won from
the locals, 30 to 16, in a fast, clean
game. Martinsville put nip a good battle,
but seemed to lack its usual pep, while
the visitors were dropping them in from
all parts of the floor. Gant and Vandlvier
starred for Franklin, while Hite, for the
locals, looked best.

The Claman Dalrys and the Ballards
j packed the big wallop In the Recreation
! League Friday night and knocked out

and rolled games of 989, 953 and 908.
The Capitol Specials came closest to
breaking into the win column against the
ice cream hoys in the first game, when
they totaled 971 pins, but the Ballards
counted 989.
Listen Lesters started out with a low
I count but recovered quickly and took
! the next two games from the Klee &.
| Coleman squad. The Claman Coffee team,

squad in great fashion, hut could not
make It three straight, losing the last
contest when the Coal team found the
head pin.
The highest Individual count posted
was chalked up by King of the Listen
Lesters with a 247. The Dersch and
Harkenrlder counts mentioned before

YET BOXING MANAGER SUGGESTS
FANS KEEP COUNT OF BLOWS
IN BOX SCORE-LIKE MANNER
By HENRY FARRELL.
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—Judges at box-,
lug contests realize that it is impossible
to please every one. Many times under !
the boos and the jeers from the gallery
and ringside they must believe it im
possible to please any one.
New York fans have been yelping loud
ly about the Incompetency of the judges
officiating at some of the big tights and
several champions say they will not box
for a decision.
Tom O'Rourke veteran fight manager,
who is now a member of the State com- j
mission, was asked for his reason why ■
it wag impossible to get judges that 1
could give some satisfactory decisions.
"We think they have been giving con
sistently good decisions," he said. "The
fault lies in the judgment of the spec
tators. Occasionally even experts will
disagree, but In the majority of cases
trained boxing men will see the same
points and arrive at the same conclusion.
“The trouble results chiefly when two
popular boys are in the ring. On one
side of the house is packed the partisan
bankers of the one boxer and on the
other side is the following of his op
ponent. Each watches his favorite. They
' overrate every point the favorite makes
i and underrate every move of his op
ponent. They look at It from oniy one
! point of view, their favorite has to win.
j “Os course, the betters have to be
figured in among the disgruntled ones.
If professional gamblers lose a bet,
i they'll always bowl.”
O'Rourke suggests ns a remedy and
as a gpneral improvement in t.he game
that all the spectators keep score at a
! boxing contest like baseball fans do at a
game.
Points should be marked, he said, for
aggressiveness and dean hitting, for
I clever sparring and good defense and
' should be subtracted for clinching
fouling, stalling and holding wbea
j ordered to break.
POINTS TO
BE WATCHED.
; What constitutes points In boxing t
! outlined in tbe following taken from
; the rules of the New York commission,
i “The decision of the judges shall be
| based primarily' on effectiveness, taking
, into account the following points:
j 1. A clean, forceful hit. landed on
any vulnerable part of the body above
the belt should be credited in propor
| tlon to Its damaging effect.
2. Aggressiveness is next in im
portance and points should be awarded
to the contestant who sustains the
action of a round bv the greatest nunl
j her of skillful attacks.
3. Defensive work is relatively im
portant and points should be given for
cleverly avoiding or blocking a blow.
4. Points should be awarded where
ring generalship is conspicuous
5. It is advisable to deduct points
! when a contestant persistently delays
the action of a contest by clinching aud
' lack of aggressiveness.
0 Points should be deducted for a
foul even though it is unintentional
| and not of a serious enough nature to
I warrant disqualification,
i 7. A contestant should be given
! credit for sportsmanlike actions In the
! ring.

MAY BOX AHRO AD
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—Boxing fol
lowers. agreeing with Tex Rickard that
another match In America between Jack
Dempsey and Georges Carpentier would
boa financial failure, were Inclined to
believe today that such a match might be
staged abroad with profit. There have
been reports from time to time that the
Frenchman again might like to face
Dempsey and this is confirmed by dis
patches from Oarpentier's ciimp abroad,
after his victory over Cook, the Aus
trnllan heavyweight. Dempsey’s manager
said the champion was ready to defend
his title anytime the guaruntee3 were
posteii.
Carpentier still is the greatest fighter
of Europe, having disposed of his Eng
lish, French ami Colonial heavyweight
opponents. While his decisive defeat by
Dempsey came as something of a sur
prise to Europe, he has declared that it
he were to meet the American again he
would adopt different ring tactics. He
indicated he would box at long range
and seek to weal* down his heavier op
ponent to n point whero a knockout
conid he landed without the peril of
retaliation In a toe to-toe mixup.
Realizing the boxing skill, speed and
footwork of Carpentier, many of his sup
porters abroad are Inclined to believe
that such a ring oampalgu might suc
ceed.
TEX AS OWN MATCHMAKER.
NEW YORK, Jan 14.—Tex Rickard,
Madison Square Garden promoter,
scouted reports that be Intended Im
mediately to enlist the services of a
matchmaker to fill the vacancy caused
at the garden by vbe severance of busi
ness associations between himself and
Leo R. Flynn, manager of boxers Rick
ard declared he Intended to do his own
matchmaking In the future, personally
conducting ail negotiations with boxers
nnd managers and attending, directly,
with every detail in connection with the
arrangement of garden boxing attrac
tions.
At the same time. Rickard again em
phasized that the removal of Flynn as
advisory matchmaker was caused solely
by the notification from the State ath
letic commission that the governing body
planned to enforce strict adherence to Its
rules nnd the provisions of tho law
which prohibit a manager of boxers from
associating himself with a club.
The garden promoter stated he planned
to retain l'eto Stone, one of Flynn's cler
ical force, to perform clerical "duties at
tendant upon the promoter's work ns
matchmaker. Stone, Rickard said, has
become familiar with boxers and man
agers all over tlie country through his
association with Flynn and Is well
equipped to assist Rickard as match
maker.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14.—Georges

in London.
As friends of Carpentier, Dempsey
and Manager Jack Kearns were mightily
pleased when Georges knocked out the
Australian, but as fighter and manager
they were a bit disappointed. A victory
for Cook would have meant a bout for
the champion.

pugilistic champion. His name ifi Gene
Tunney.
By outpointing the veteren. Battling
I.evinsky, in twelve rounds, at Madison

came the light heavyweight champion of
America and has a diamond-studded Tex
Rickard belt today to prove it.
Tunney is coming along. He has been
boxing at intervals ever since he returned
from France after the World War ended,
but he has been backward. For one
thing, he had a lot of trouble with his
hands. That trouble has left him now
and as a result he boxes with real con
fidence. In his last four or five fights
he has shown the earmarks of a first-class
scrapper who may some day be consid
ered as a heavyweight champion possi
bility and in defeating the veteran Levjn
sky last night he scored a well-earned
victory.
As Tunney came to the front. Fred Ful
ton, pride of Minnesota, and tho only
heavyweight fighter backed by a syndi
cate. let his stock fall with an audible
thud when he failed to get berter than
a draw with Bartley Madden, the West
Side heavyweight.
l’ulton was expected to score a de
cisive victory over Madden and entered
the ring a prime favorite, hut failed to
live up to expectations. The big plasterer
boxed indifferently and several times ap
peared to be in trouble as a result of
Madden's aggressive tactics.

myself and I know ho can sock.”

"I have both Oarpentier's and Des
camps' assurance (Unit they will return
to this country early In March for the
match with Tom Gibbons. The latter
should make an excellent opponent for
Georges aad an interesting contest should
result.”

Louisville Team Meets
Tech at Tomlinson Hall
Fans will see anew Tech line-up In
the game tonight against the Louisville
Manual Training High School five at
Tomlinson Hall. Because of Nipper’s
illness Coach Black has shifted the team
about and anew man will be seen In
action. Murphy, a brand new performer
who has shown good stuff In practice,
will get into action at back guard.
Unger will take Nipper’s position at
floor guard. Greenberg will jump at
center, and Adkins and Jefry will cavort
at the forwards jobs.
The Louisville team comes with a good
reputation and should be strong. Tech
nical followers are watching this game
with Interest to see how the new com
bination will work out. Every Green and
White rooter is hoping that Black
eventually will weld together a real ma
chine to represent the East side school.
The city schools have been having a
terrible time of It, but the Tech outfit
looks to know more about basket-ball
than any of the others.
I Pauw and Butler. The contests to date
j have born this prediction out and the
; question of just which one of these four
! reams will grab off the coveted honor
| is just as much in doubt today as It was
j at the start of the year,
j When Purdue jumped on Pat Page’s
aggregation as it, was returning from
! the invasion of the Chicago and Wiseon
j sin camps, and won by a score of 42 to
1 19, Butler was counted out of the State
race. Then when Coach Lambert took
his sharp shooters down to Crawfords
ville aud trimmed Wabash to the tune
of 34 to 25. Butler was completely hid
den in the glare of the Boilermakers’
sensational rush for the Hoosier cham
pionship.
But the next night, when De Pntiw
stopped short the dash of the Lafayette
crew by winning a sensational game with
a score of 32 to 27, Butler fans woke up
with a bang, for the Christians are twice
scheduled to take on tin? Greencastle
crew. Then last Saturday, when W bash
upset the dope, the State champio-.ship
race, De Pauw and several other things
by trimming the Old Gold with a de
cisive score of 25 to 18, a mighty cry
issued from classical Irvington—almost a
cry of victory. For all four teams bad
been In action and were right back at the
•same place they started. Butler was
bark in the rare and on an even footing
with the rest of the contenders.
Before the season ends it Is likely that
lots more of that fickle fluid dupe will
be spilled. Franklin almost spilled
some Tuesday by forcing Wa
bash to a one-point decision, but all In
al! it still seems certain that the Hoo
sier title will be fought out by the foul
above mentioned teams.
STILL TO MEET
DE PAUW-WABASH.
De Pauw and Butler do n< t play Pur
due again, but Wabash does. Butler
will play De Pauw twice and Wabash
twice, while one more game remains
to be played between the Scarlet and
the Old Gold. In these six games are
the means of determining the college
champion of Indiana. Using as a ba
sis what has already happened in the
games played to date, you are invited
to figure out the result.
In the meanwhile, Butler is preparing
for another drive into the lofts realms
and Indianapolis fans, overjoyed at the
new life given the Pagemen by the In
consistency of the rival quintettes, are
getting ready to back the Irvington five
in a way that it has never been backed
before. A high school championship for
Indianapolis seems very distant, if not
impossible, but Butler has got a chance,
a slim chance, maybe, but a figuring
chance, nevertheless, to bring soru> thiug
better to the basket fans of tb city
—the Indiana College championslflp.
On Feb. 4 Coach Page will pit his tnen
against De Pauw at Tomlinson Hall.
Three days later he will take them to
Crawfordsville. On Feb. 28 Wabash will
be played again, this time at Tomlinson
Hall, while March 3 the Inst date on
the Butler schedule. L‘e Pauw will be
played at Greeneastl®.

De Pauw Upholds Hoosier
Basket Prestige by Down
ing Chicago.
DePauw upheld the good reputation of
Hoosier basket-ball last night by trim
ming the Chicago University five in a
close and exciting game at Chicago, 34
to 32. The outcome of the scrap was in
doubt until the final minutes of play,
when the Greencastle team slipped in the
ueeded basket. Mendenhall played a won
derful game for Coach Walker's men and
dropped in five baskets front the field
while Voting counted four times from the
court. Bills got two field goals and three
from the foul line. Stahr, Romney and
Halladay were the heavy scorers for
Chicago.' The game was very fast, the
Tigers setting a terrific pace with the
Maroons following suit.
Butler surprised even its most en
thusiastic supporters last night at the
Butler gym by handing Earlhim a reg
ular bearing by tho big count of 61 to 27.
The Pageinen ran up points almost at
will, the supposedly fine defense ot the
Quakers crumbling completely before the
shifty attack of Hooker, Griggs. Leslie
and others. Last night was Leslie's turn
to do the scoring and the Anderson player
came through with eleven baskets. Griggs
got himself eight and Captain Hooker
grabbed off five, combining with his
scoring ability very clever floor work
and passing. The Blue and White team
led at the half, 32 to 8. Townsend, the
Mowemen center, looked best for the vis
itors. Goar had an off night.
Hanover and Rose Poly staged a
thriller at Terre Haute last night and
when the final whistle blew Hanover was
leading by the slight margin of one
point. The fives battled back and forth
throughout the contest for supremacy and
at no time did either team have a de
cided advantage. 11. Powell's fine work
turned the tide in favor of Hanover. The
clever forward caged seven goals from
the field. The Rose squad divided up
the scoring almost equally for their
thirty points.

The question has been asked from time
to time just what would happen If
Riley was out of the game. The query
was answered last night when the floor
guard went out right at the start with a
sprained ankle. The game developed into
a rout and Shortridge made but one field
