Basketballitis, that sweeping epidemic

dle Atlantic States, defeating such teams
as the University of West Virginia, Pitts

There was a game at Shortrldge yes
terday afternoon that no one but Short
ridge could win and that was between
the Seniors and Juniors. The Seniors
had most of this year's State squad and
were able to double the score on the Ju
niors. The final score was 62 to 31. The
half ended 2!) to 19. Biley, for the Se
niors, and Harrington for the Juniors
were the stars of the game.
The assignment of visiting high school
teams to various frat houses at Purdue
for the regional there has been made as
follows:

21. This medal is given in memory of
Paul Cross, son of the Rev. Mr. and Mrs.
P J. Cross, who was kliled during the
World War. At the time of his enlist
ment he w-as a member of the Shelbyville
High basket-ball team. The medal is
awarded on the qualifications of loyalty,
training, sportsmanship and ability.
Getting Just one Jump ahead of the
regionals this is the way we think the
first round of the State tourney will line
up:
Franklin vs. Connersville.
Bedford vs. South Whitley.
Rochester vs. Vincennes.
Bloomington vs. Manual.
Garfield vs. Whiting.
Fisher* vs. Angola.
Columbus vs. Marion.
Frankfort vs. Anderson.
You can figure the rest out for your
self.
Last Monday we ran the following
note:
•’For the first time in the histoiy of
high school basket-ball tournaments,
Martinsville failed to win its sectional.
Heretofore the tourneys have all been
held on Martinsville’s floor. Maybe this
have something to with it.”
Here’s what the Martinsville Daily Re
porter says in reply:
Just as a gentle reminder to the Times
scribe, it mignt be suggested that In
dianapolis teams never were-able lo
win a sectional tourney until Marion
County was made a district by itself.
But why make such a remark about
Martinsville. Isn’t is Just as fair for
Martinsville's team to play on Its own
floor as if is for the Indiarapolis teams,
and for Franklin, Bedford. Bloomington,
Vincennes, Anderson, or all of the rest
of them? And do those teams win
simply because they play on their owa
floor?”
Our remark was not meant os a hot
shot at Martinsville, but we still con
tend the home team usual’y has an ad
vantage.

Giant Giant Rookie
SAN ANTONIO, March 9.—Manager
John MeGraw of the Now York Giants U
giving a lot of attention to George Stan
ton, a rookie. He Is of the George Kelly
type and, like the big first baseman when
he first reported, Is all arms and legs.
Somebody once said that Kelly could do
more things wrong than any young ball
player he had ever seen, and this is an
apt description of the coast player who
was sent to MeGraw by Bill Lange, an
Intimate friend of the Giants’ manager
and an uncle of Kelly.
Stanton played his first game ,of ball
last August, breaking In with an ama
teur aggregation In San Francisco trav
eling under the picturesque name of the
Park Bums. After leaving the Bums.
Stanton hooked up with a semi-pro team,
and from there came to the Giants, un
heralded and unsung, with all of seven
months of experience to his credit. He is
fi feet 6Vi inches in height, three and a
half inches taller than Kelly, and he
drives the ball on a line and with a free
swinging punch behind It. More than
this, the coast rookie can cut out a blue
streak when he runs, the long legs car
rying him over the ground in amazing
style.
Reynolds to Coach Again
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March 9.—Jack

LAFAYETTE, lud., March 9.—Basket

State pro predicting that if a “dark
horse” wins the State High School Bas
ket-ball Tournament, which Is to be held
in the Coliseum of the State Fair
grounds, at Indianapolis, March 17 and
IS, that It will come from the teams that
are expected to win their contests at
the regional tourney at Purdue Universi
ty, March 11. Fans generally are choos
ing a southern high school quintet to
take the laurels at Indianapolis, Vin
cennes being mentioned as the team most
likely to win. Close followers of the
game are pointing out, however, that
Anderson's schedule docs not seem to
contain the hard games that must be
played by Vincennes. Two likely op
ponents of Vincennes, according to dope,
are Bloomington and Franklin, on Sat
urday morning and afternoon, repectlve
ly, while Anderson might play Colum
bus and Garfield of Terre Haute or
Whiting. The fact that Franklin does
not play Saturday morning, and meets
Vincennes that afternoon means that the
present State champs will be much more
rested than Vincennes. Working along
this line of “dope," It would seem that
if Anderson and Vincennes wero cast to
gether in the final game that the odds
would somewhat favor the Anderson

The regional games at Lafayette will

Pine Village; South Whitley to win from
Atwood; Marion to win from Hunting
ton; Frankfort to win from Jefferson of
Lafayette; Rochester to win from Cut
ler; Whiting to win from Decatur; and
Wingate to win from Fishers. Dope Is
easily upset In this torunament. however,
and followers of every one of the six
teen teams feel certain that their team
will win ths game that it plays.

Wail as Scalpers
Grab Off Tickets
Six-Day Bike Race and Gib
bons-Greb Fight Paste
boards Scarce.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL.
NEW YORK, March 9. —Ticket scalpers
in New York never Jose a decision. No
matter what the weight is or what tho
rules are, the “specs” get there.
New Yorkers have become such easy
victim of the paste board Jobbers that it
is almost necessary to slip in a .hallway
and barter for a subway ticket.
It has gone so far that scalpers have
finally swooped down on the six-day bike
race. Without going to some of the
species and paying double or triple the
face value of the ticket, it is impossible to
get an admission slip for Saturday night,
the closing night of the race.
There isn't a ticket in sight for the
Gibbons-Greb fight next Monday night
and walls are being raised to the skies.
The show is being given by a charitable
organization and the “spec” are getting
the whole house. Seven dollar seats are
selling for sls and the scalpers aren’t
anxious to sell.
Tex Rickard gave the "specs” a bad
beating on the Dempsey-Carpentier fight
when by all the rules they should have
stepped’lnto a fortune.
Just after the tickets were placed on
sale, some counterfeits appeared nnd sev
eral alleged manufacturers of the bad
tickets were arrested. Rickard announced
that bad tickets were in circulation and
that it would be dangerous to buy from
any place bu* the ticket office. Rickard
has never denied that he had the counter
feit tickets made himself. The arrested
inen were never tried and the “specs”
were lucky to get rid of their tickets
at the face value. No method of con
sistently getting rid of the “specs” has
been devised.
The scalping business has become so
established in New York that the sport
fans try to cultivate the acquaintance of
a good “spec” where low prices prevail.

DIXON STILL ON SHELF
MARLIN SPRINGS, Texas, March 9.
The weather here today was a bit too
breezy to permit the Indianapolis base
ball team’s pitchers to enggge in un
loosening the muscles in the throwing
arms and as a result the only players to
get a real work-out were the Infield and
the five outfielders, all of whom faced the
northerner which chased the warm and
pleasant atmospheres of yesterday away
from Marlin Springs.
The entire squad was a willing crew
despite the wind and were much bene
fited through the two sessoins. Manager
Hendricks had them in hand during tho
forenoon, but turned the task over to
Covington after dinner, while he and 7
Owner Smith went to San Antonio to
pay a visit to Jawn McGraw, the Rig
Boss of the world's champion Now York
Giants.
So far the Indians appear to be getting
into condition at a marvelous pace and
Hendieks believes by Saturday those who
are here now will be ready to cut loose
a bit. Leo Dixon, however, is still on
the shelf and it will be several days be
fore he begins the grind Dixon, how
ever, is not over weight and probably
will get into shape without much diffi
culty.
Tho Indians will meet the Galveston
team of the Texas 7 League March 18 and
19 in Galveston. 7 There is little doubt
but that Hendricks will have every man
in great form 7 by that time and a good
line will be had on the pitching
also. Incidentally, when Rogge
Cavet come into camp the latter part
of the -Week, the hurling corps will in
clude /bight twirlers.
There was a noticeable slacking up
in /ho movement of some of the players
who found themselves a bit sore after
/the gruelling work-outs of Tuesday. A
few days more, however, will find the
stiff and sore spots only a memory and
then the real-for-certain grind begins.
Y'ernon Spencer, one of the new out
fielders, uncorked a bit of the speed
which he is said to posse- s, in the work
outs of YY’ednesday. Spencer was also
hitting much better than in the opening
batting sessions, when he was topping
most of his swings. Spencer was with
the Toronto club in the International
League last year and was the property
of the Giants. Y'ernon and Eddie Brown
both came to Manager Hendricks from
the Giants. By the way, Brown shared
In the Giants' world series money and
received a full share, 5,400 berries. The
two ex-Giants look mighty good so far
in their work-outs. Eugene Morrison,
the popular youngster who played lu
the Indians’ outfield last season, threat
ens to outshine anything in the Associ
ation in covering ground.
