Masked Star Friday
Was Bobby Veach
By N. e BROWN.

ny N. <. 6noWN.
One of the first of the Tiger regulars
to send his signed contract to Owner
Navin this spring was Bobby Veach
Which would indicate that Bobby is
anxious for the 1919 season to start
Veach, who is the player shown in
the fiu-masked puzzle yesterday, ought
to be one of the stars of the American
league again this season. This classy
outtielder made a crackerjack run
ming mate for Ty Cobb the last two
campaigns.
Of the outfielders who played in a
major portion of the games in the
short schedule last year Veach was
one of the leading three. Amos Strunk
and Memo Leibold were the others,
based on the activities and clean
fielding Of the gardeners.
Veach participated in 122 contests in
the field and made only seven errors,
fielding at .977 gait. He raped
out 139 hits, including twenty-one
doubles, thirteen triples and three that
sent him clear around. His batting
average for the season was .270.
1t was no fault of Bobby's that the
Tigers wound up in seventh place.
He and Cobb did their best to wreck
game after game and put the Tigers
on the large end of the score. But
poor hurting, ragged fielding and poor
batting by the other members wrecked
the teams chances. The club finished
sixth in smuggling. That's an awful
showing for the so-called mighty Tiger
band which has been famous as a
heavy-hitting crew for years.
Veach and Cobb will have a new as
sociate in the outfield this year
Chick Shorten. Shorten was obtained
from the Red Sox in the deal that
sent Witt to Beantown

BLOOMINGTON is
DOPED TO TAKE
FINAL BATTLE
Chance for State Basket Hon
ors Jumps When Thorn
town Five Loses.

Bloomingons chances Of being state
winner in the basketball tournament
at Purdue took a Jump Friday when
that team easily outclassed the Man
ual quintet and Cross. Thorntown's
star guard was injured in the Hunting
Thortnown fiasco, in which Thorn
town was victorious, % to IA.
In the first half of the Huntington
Thorntown fracas the Huntington lads
held their own, keeping within two
points of the fast Boone county five.
The first half ended II to 10 in favor
of the victors
In the next period of play Kashner
led an assault that netted four field
goals In rapid succession for the
Thorntown five. 1t was in this period
OF the game that Cross had to be
removed from the game.
The extent Of his injury Is not
known but It is thought that he will
not be able to play in the Blooming
ton-Thorntown game Saturday after
noon. Even should he play, he will
not be up to his usual form because
of his injury
In the Friday afternoon games
Franklin threw scare into Craw-
louisville and at one time in the first
period of play was holder of the
long end Of the score The final re-
suit Of the game was IS to Is, in
favor of Charlottesville.
Emerson Is Favored.
The other two games on the after
noon bill were slow and tame with
Logansport winning from Spiceland
Academy, 9 to 5. and Kokomo from
Brazil, IL to 6. Neither of these Win
ners can extend themselves enough
TO go into the finals or semi-finals,
is the belief of the basketball men
at the tourney
With the results of two days of the
tourney to judge from, state basket
ball dopesters are casting aside some
of the teams picked for winners and
placing new teams on the list for the
finals. Whether Thorntown can cope
with the speedy Bloomington five is
a question that has been cast now
almost entirely in favor of the scrap
py team from the Indiana university
town.
Bloomington after being almost put
out by Richmond in it's first game has
easily outclassed it's other opponents,
which makes Richmond basketball
bugs sad, as they feel that had Rich
mond annexed the first game of the
state tourney bill, it would play in the
semi-finals. Bloomington is almost
sure to play in the finals, but fans
fail to agree as to which team it will
play. Emerson and Charlottesville
seem to be the two best bets with
odds on Emerson of Gary.sssst -aa
If Bloomington wins the finals Sat.
urday night it will be the first time
that the state champion has come
from any other part of the state other
than Boone, Montgomery and Tippe-
canoe counties.

ORGANIZATION OF
. LEAGUE IS HOPED
At SUNDAY MEET

PEORIA. H.. March 15.-The plans
| for the Sunday meeting, according to
President Ryan, will be to perfect a
league organization, elect a president
! then let the league working as a body
go out and line up the two cities
needed to make 1t an eight club cir
cult
Heretofore the efforts of the organ
ization work have been confined to
the activity of one or two clubs, one
mostly and Peoria is the city to take
the lead in every league formation
scheme, advanced so far this winter
and spring.
President Ryan wasn't enthused
very much over the outlook today, but
is still clinging to the hope that some
thing will develop in the eleventh
hour which will bring about the new
league.
Peoria is ready to start anytime
and despite the fact that we haven't
a player signed or manager lined up
we will give them race in the cham
pionship fight" he said. But other
clubs need more time to get going,
and it is for their welfare we are pull
ing for an early settlement"

G RANDOM G
OpORI NOTEY

Pitcher Brady is one of the young
Yankees signed up Brady is not en-
tirely a stranger to New York fans,
nor has he had any real opportunity
to display his pitching wares as a
Yankee. He was with the club at
Macon in 1916, but was released to
Toledo before the opening of the sea
son. He was recalled by Bill Dono-
van late in the 1917 campaign and did
little pitching at the Polo grounds,
but all last season, or as long as the
league operated, he was with Roger
Bresnahan's Toledo club of the Amer
lean association. He finished the sea-
son with an even break in victories
and defeats, though his clubs winning
percentage was just under the 800
mark. Higgins scouts have decided
that he is worth another trial in the
majors, so he will be taken to Jack
sonville this month.
Bob McGraw, who was with the
Yanks last season until called to the
colors, also has been added to the
list of Jacksonville tourists. He
spent several months overseas, but
returned recently and went TO Camp
Grant. near Chicago.
McGraw created a very favorable
Impression on Higgins last spring and
the Yankee leader is inclined to the
belief that the former University of
Colorado star is destined to shine as
major Lacquer.
Alex Ferguson of Bloomfield, n. j.,
who has had previous tryout with
the Yankees, has received his dis
charge at Camp Meade and will be
able TO start with the squad for Jack
sonville on March 81. Ferguson won
sixteen and lost three games at
Bridgeport last summer before the
Eastern league disbanded on July 20.
He led the league in strikeouts as
well. When Ferguson was with the
Yanks in 1916 he was a bit frail for
major league pitching, but he has
since taken on about twenty pounds,

and his record at Bridgeport last sea

Dutch Leonard hurled the only no
hit game last year when he let De-
troit down without bingle June 3.
Larry Cheney uncorked five wild
pitches on one game against st. Louis
July 8 last year.
Ferdinand Stubblefeld Schupp has
signed his contract with the Giants
for the coming season The Louis
vile kid fingered long before signing
after receiving his contract from the
club, but no alarm was felt because
of this, for Ferdie is usually dilatory
in such matters and had no complaint
to make over the terms offered to him.

Is in good condition and that he eX-
