BASKET-BALL
EDDIE
ASH
HOLDOUTS MAY
SLOW UP TWO
MAJOR CHAMPS
Chances Brighten for Other
Teams While Giants and
Yanks Fuss With Stars.
BY DAYID J. WALSH.
NEW YORK, Feb. 21—Taking duo
cognizanfce of the fact that a rather
generous portion of the American popu
lace is disposed to bear up bravely
under the misfortune of having to ex
ist beyond the limits of New York City,
It may be all for the best that both of
the local major league entries are hav
ing difficulties, financial and otherwise,
with their ball players.
When the Giants obtained Heinie Groh
from the Reds, the impending National
League race seemed nothing but a
coastin’ for the world's champions. At
that time they had the pitching, hitting
and best Infield in baseball —on paper.
Just now they have none of these. Kelly,
Rawlings, Bancroft, Meusel, Smith ami
Snyder are holdouts, presumably, and it
Is announced that l*hil Douglas and
Jesse Barnes, two of the pitching stars
of the last big series, have been placed
on the market.
The American League race appeared
equally favorable to the Yankees, ai
though the suspension of Ruth and Bob
Meusel until May 20, was a depressing in
cident to the fans, however. The trade
With the Red box, whereby the Yanks
fell heir to Sam Jones and Joe Bush,
leading right hand pitchers, and Everett
Scott, a great shortstop, gave the Yanks
far and away the best ball club in the
circuit. „
But the departure for Southern climes
Is less than a week removed and
Meusel, Roth, Pipp, Bush and others
lire holdouts, and Carl Mays, serving the
second term of a three-year contract, de
sires nothing more than that the Yankee
Colonels destroy his faded old contract
and bay him anew one with a pretty
pink border and lote of numerals placed
Behind a dollar mark. Babe Ruth has
eflreed to terms. It is said, but has yet to
attach his name to the papers.
Instead of two championship ball
clubs front-running their respective fields,;
as was Indicated via December prospect,
there is now a very good chance that
neither will start the season recruited
to full strength and the further fact
that digsaisfaction in March ofen back
washes at one time or other through the
season itself.
And, we repeat. It may te all for the
best. Another exclusive New Y T ork world
eerles this fall would be nothing short
of a calamity. The last one drew heav
ily at the gate, true enough, but we will
chance the opinion that a return engage
ment, so to speak, would do nothing of
the kind.
The Polo Grounds was packed to ca
pacity throughout the 1921 series, yet
the absence of inter-city partisanship
finally made of the affair something more
or less of an Informal entertainment. The
fans formed a habit of cheering for the
team that happened to be trailing at the
time and switched their allegiance as
many as three or four times during a
tingle game. They would have been less
disinterested in the outcome of a friendly
street fight.
New York wouldn’t care for another
tnch series and certainly the rest of the
country will succeed in doing its cheer
ing on this score with its mouth shut.
There has been too much talk of buy
ing pennants, justified for the most part,
to have the Giants and Yankees repeat In
J 922 without giving rise to much un
favorable comment.

BILLIARDS
RICHESON OF FRANKLIN LOOPS
IN FLOCK OF FIELD GOALS
AND BULLDOGS TAKE COUNT
By TOM BATCHELOR.
Special Correspondent of the Times.
FRANKLIN, Ind., Feb. 21.—80 y, page
a humane officer.
Woody Richeson, a Franklin College
student, Is charged by scores of people
who were in the college gym last night,
with having brutally kicked and other
wise mistreated a large and powerful
bulldog belonging to l’at Page of In
dianapolis. And, oh, boy, how he did
kick it! Seven times la the second half
did he kick it and when the smoke had
cleared from the net kennel and the dog
was out for the count, the Franklin
College basket-ball team, “one-point
champions of the world,” had gowned
Butler by a score of 30 to 29.
The affair had all the thrills of a box
ing contest with the exception that Mayor
Lew Shank was not at the rlngsld*
Both teams started fast and rough, bu
Butler was faster, If not rougher, In th<
first half and led at the refct period, 1
to 13.
As soon as the second period started
tills Richeson fellow, who had been con
siderably annoyed in the early part of
the game by the nibbles of Page’s animal,
turned on the “brute” and delivered his
first kick. Standing in the shadow ot
his own goal he sent one sailing through
the air for bis first marker of the game.
Butler got three points before he kicked
again. Butler counted a few points ana
then Richeson started to warm up. In
the space of about seven minutes he sent
five baskets sailing through the hoop
from the center of the floor and the two
teams went Into a deadlock. A couple
of minutes before the end of the game
he contributed basket No. 7 and gave his
team a one-point lead which resulted
In the victory. Butler had a chance to
tie things up with a foul goal, but
Brown's effort failed.
Richeson was not the star of the game,
he was the whole constellation. Pike was
Franklin's other luminary. For Butler,
Brown was high i>olnt man with thir
teen points out of a possible sixteen
from the foul line and one field goal.
Hooker counted five times from the tied
and Middlesworth, before ho went out

HAROLD LLOYD IN “BACKTO THE WOODS”-FOX NEWS WEEKLY
INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1922.
BASEBALL
on personals, played a great game at
floor guard.
The Mlddleswor’.h-Records feud was
renewed with more intensity than ever.
Wally had the better of the argument
in that he held the Franklin athlete to a
field goal. However, he was forced out
on personals.
How those boys do “hate” each other.
Every time the ball came within range
of the pair, who were inseparable
throughout the contest, they rolled each
other over the floor until the referee could
get things back to normalcy. The feud
hud its outgrowth In the amateur tourna
ment last year when Wally with the
So'uth Side Turners and Records with
Trafalgar first met.
Butler led all the way until late in the
game when Pike tied things up at 2Z
ail with a field toss. Then things began
to happen. Brown put Butler In the lead
again with a foul throw and Pike balled
things up again with a similar counter.
Richeson contributed number six, but
Hooker came back with one under the
basket. Brown made it 29 to 28 Butler
with one from the free throw line and
a couple of minutes before the game end
ed Richeson ended the scoring with an
other of his long ones.
The two teams were “so hard" they
should have played with a cannon balL
It looked like trouble when the fourth
misdemeanor was called on Middles
worth. The game was halted a mo
ment while Coach Page, tho officials, Mtd
dlesworth and Records and the two stu
dent bodies aired their feelings. It was
a tense moment and the house was in
a turmoil, but after a few choice remarks
to his antagonist Wally left the game and
the party proceeded.
Brown wns leaving the game In the last
minute of play and had not reached the
bench when Butler was given an oppor
unlty to count from the r<>ul line. In an
Instant Page was on his feet and or
dered the Butler foul shooter back Into
the game. The move was useless, how
ever, for Brown’s effort rolled around
the rim and fell off Into the waiting
hands of Franklin players.
Richeson wns wonderful. The little
fellow’s basket shooting In the second
half was the most spectacular ever seen
on the Franklin floor, and his speedy
dribble kept Butler players trailing him
wherever he went. Several of his shots
were made from the two thirds mark and
none from nearer than the center.
The “Anderson blaze-sway" appeared
to haye been scrapped In tli© disarma
ment program. Hooker counted five
times from the field and Leslie twice, but
the speedy pair weren't hitting the old
target ns on former occasions. All but
two of the ©even baskets were under the
hoop shots.
Brown’s work from the foul line en
abled the Butlerltes to set an early race.
Franklin resorted to a great deal of
dribbling and Record* and Rlcfiieson
handled this department In a way that
Butler could not cope with.
Richeson made fourteen of Franklin's
seventeen points In the second half. Pike
made the other three.
The celebration staged by Frankllln
after the game must have made the sur
rounding neighborhood think that the
high school team had won another Saate
championship.

Ruth Agrees to Terms
of $60,000, Plus Bonus
NEW YORK, Feb, 2L—Showing that
he has a good head for business regard
less of his 575,000 salary demand. Babe
Ruth left Milwaukee late Monday for a
eoufise of baths at Hot Borings, pre
liminary to his regular spring training
work with the Yankees at New Orleans.
The champion slugger’s salary for 1922
will be SOO,OOO with a SSOO premium for
each home run—just double the figures
of last year. Thus, with even thirty-oJe
home ruus to his credit, Babe will shade
John McGraw and his 5(55,000 contract as
manager of the Giants. So starts the rac ( ,
for the honor of being the most expensive
human element in baseball.
Ruth and the Yankee management
agreed to these terms by wire Monday, it
is said. The actual signing ot the con
tract and the -decision as to whether
Babe will be docked for his suspension of
thirty-six playing days will be taken hip
later.

strong that ha appears to possess suf
ficient power to be considered for a bout
with Zbyszko, the king of ’em all. Linow

at 8 :15 o’clock.
Vie Miller, hailing from Missouri, will
meet Jack Reynolds In the main bout
of the show tonight and It Is said Vic
kjjows plenty of tricks that he expects
to uncork on the Indianapolis favorite.
He'll have to step some, however, If he
expects to beat Reynolds, for Jack Is In
top form and In no mood to be thrown
by any of the Western crop of wrewtlers.
Miller probably will depend on the
hammer-lock throw against Jack, but he
Is sure t,o find the local man rather
slippery to bo caught np with that type
of pressure.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—Babe Ruth will
b© good enough for a fairy story If
he sets anew home run mark this com
ing season.
Losing six weeks of the early season,
he will have need of a magic wand of
pole out enough four base clouts from
May 20 to pass his mark of 59.
He will be starting away cold against
pitching that should be working up to
mid-season warmth. In the first six
weeks of the 1921 season he had gath
ered an even dozen homers. His eye was
right and the pitchers were going alon_g
with the customary wobble of chilly
spring weather.
This year it will be different. No mat
ter how much the swat sultan may work
while serving his sentence, his eye and
hiu swing can’t be working as well as
if he had been looking them over in ac
tual play. Even if Commissioner Landis
had not given him the legal slap, many
smart baseball men believe he would have
fallen short of the 1920 and 1921 records.
Babe has reached the point where he
doesn't take his stuff too seriously. His
habits do not follow the lines of strict
training and an athlete who takes on
flesh readily has to deprive himself of a
lot of the off-field pastime that Ruth en
joys.
Every manager In the American League
who saw the world’s series l:st fall may
have picked up some good tips from the
Giant pitchers on the art of stopping
the home run king. If McGraw could
solve the problem so readily, It ought to
prove of benefit to the others.
Commissioner Landis no doubt will not
reconsider the case and lift the sentence
on the “Bambino.”

Chicago Americans Find
Weather Ideal at Marlin
for Early Training.
MARLIN, Texas, Feb. 2L—Manager
Bill Gleason and Coach Evero were to
start work with a bunch of White Sox
batterymen today. Everything waa aet
for the initial performance.
The Chicago lads reached the Texas
apa Monday afternoon at 2 bells. They
unloaded under a scorching sun. Tho
temperature was around the 85 mark. A
large delegation from the Marlin Cham
ber of Commerce met the athletus at the
train and motored them to the Arlington
Hotel.
This is the same hotel which quartered
John McGraw’s Giants during a number
of training seasons. It will be the home
of the White Sox battery folks until next
Monday night. Then the party wUi move
on to Seguin, the regMlar training camp.
Tho Indianapolis American Association
team will be quartered at the Arlington
when the fioosiens arrive here for spring
training, March 7.
Manager Gleason of the Sox is satis
fied with the arrangements here. The hot
baths are calculated to take the kinks
out of ailing arms and the warm weather
will permit ample toiling upon the ball
field.
