Wingate Wins School
Title From Cra.ufordsuille

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 23.-Wingate,
Ind, captured the Western inter
scholastic basket ball title when it de-
feated Charlottesville high school
(Ind.) in the final game of the tourna-
ment at Bartlett gymnasium, % to Is,
Monday night.
The pair of Hoosier rivals fought a
bitter battle and such a game between
high school fives has seldom been
staged in this territory. 1t was nip
and tuck throughout, the winners
drawing away in the final minutes
with a great squirt, which brought the
immense crowd to its feet.
Goldsberry, center, was the big man
in the Wingate machine. The tall
pivot man covered the floor with daz-
zling speed and his shots counted
with regularity. He was closely COW
cred throughout by the fighting cen
ter of the Charlottesville aggregation
Chadwick, but managed to slip in the
big points for his team. Shelton and
Chadwick were the luminarieS for the
losers.
Play Opens Fast.
Play opened fast and never lie,
down. Two long baskets by Colds
! berry in the final minutes of the hall
gave Wingate 10-to-6 lead.
Play during the second half was fast
as the first but found Wingate main
tanning it's lead all the way. Craw
louisville came close with five min
utes to go but the endurance of the
! husky Wingate five told here and they
sailed the game away in the fina
three minutes.

Garfield Sports to Take
On Springtime Hue Soon;
Basket 7 Journey is Coming

Plans for winding up the basketball
season at Garfield school in blaze of
interest, are being worked out by L. H.
Lybolt, physical director These
plans include three games for the Gar
field varsity quintet, one of which will
be played against the continuation
class of high school in the high school
gym next Thursday afternoon and an
other in the Garfield gym the follow
ing Thursday afternoon. The annual
Freshie-Garfield clash will be staged
next month.
Lybolt is also planning for basket
ball tournaments for both the large
and small Puppies and Whites. The
annual White and Purple track meet
will be held in May. The date will
not conflict with the meets Of high
school and Earlham. The girls of the
school compete in the tourney.
The annual tennis tournament will
be held this spring. The Twenty-sec-
ond street Fairgrounds will be put in
to first class condition. The tennis

SISLER STAR, But
DOESN'T HOLD RECORD

The only player in the major leagues
who may be compared favorably with
Babe Ruth in regard to ability to cover
expertly more than one position in the
field is George Sisler of the Browns,
yet last season the famous star of the
Mound City aggregation failed to lead
the league in more than one depart
ment of play. Though he was absent
from the Browns lineup in eight
games during the 1919 campaign only
three players in the circuit cracked out
more hits than George. They were
Cobb, Veach and Jackson. Cobb and
Veach each made 1911 safe wallops and
Jackson manufactured ISL, only one
more than the extraordinary ST. Louis
player. Sisler was third in the num-
Der or total bases with 271 to his
credit. Babe Ruth was first with 284
and Veach next with 279.
Sisler made an attempt to crack out
more three-base hits than any other
player in Ban Johnson's circuit, but at
the close of the season he had to share
the honors with Harry Heilmann Of
the Tigers, each making Is three-bag-
gers. AS everybody knows, Babe Ruth
trotted off with the home run wallops
with 20 to his credit. The next great
est number Of home runs made by an
individual player was 10 and there
were three players in he league who
compiled that total. They were Sisler,
Baker and c. Walker. 1t is noted that
the combined number of four base hits
made by the trio of sluggers was only
one more than Ruth made.
The Browns remarkable player is
one of the fastest men in the league
and although he pilfered % bases, the
toal was not enough to give him an
advantage over every other rival. Ed
die Collins of the White Sox won the
honors in that department, having
stolen 33 times. Sisters % steals
were enough to give him second place
No other player crossed the plate with
as many runs as did Babe Ruth, who
registered 1903 times. Next on the list
is Sisler, who with only 10 home runs
to help him along crossed the plate
96 times.
Sisler excelled his rivals only in the
matter of assists credited to a first
baseman. In the 1872 games in which
he guarded the first stop, George was
credited with 100 assists and was the
only first sacker to reach the century
mark With a fielding percentage OF
.991, he was tied for third place with
Wally Pipp and Risberg: the latter
however, played in only % games at
first base for the White Sox and, there
fore, is not considered regular.

BUTLER OUT OF
BASEBALL RACE

Butler college win not have a repre-
sentative baseball team to compete
with other colleges of the state this
year, Coach Move, OF Earlham, was
advised Tuesday. An intrarmural
schedule will take the place of inter
scholastic games. Earlham's tenta-
tive schedule included three games
with the Irvington nine.
Coach Move said Tuesday that he
intended. to schedule games with
Franklin Rose Poly and State Nor
NAL to take the place OF Buffers
games.
Approximately 100 men put In their
appearance at Mondays baseball and
track workout on Reid field. Baseball
material at Earlham is most promis-
ing and the Quakers figure themselves
for a good chance to cop the ]. G. A.

Be RENOVATED SOON

With only small number of but

OF the Booster Button campaign are
planning to wind up the canvass Of
merchants Wednesday,, and to place
tho Booster buttons for distribution
the last Of this week.
Already three-fourth of the buttons
have been sold, and manufacturers
have expressed their willingness to
complete the budget of Sic, 900 neces-
sary to put the park finances in proper

Real action in. league baseball is
promised for next week, and Rich
mond will be in the center of the
party President Dickerson, Of the
Central league, has called a meeting
of league club heads to be held in
Richmond next week, and If the fl
nancial campaign of the city goes
over. definite plans for the opening
OF the league, including player ar
Tangements, schedule and the date
for the league opening will be made,
providing Richmond promoters decide
to enter this circuit.
The Ohio-Indiana circuit Is practi-
call completed, but heads Of that or
ganization are still anxious that a
Richmond club be lined up in that
circuit, and the decision as to whichc
league is to have a Richmond team
probably will be made this week.
Park Work to Be Started.
Work on improvement Of the grand
stand, and rolling of the park also
will be started as soon as the financial
drive is finished. Several applica-
tons for positions on a Richmond

proposed club are confident that Rich
mond can obtain a high class repre-
sentation in either circuit.

Bowling

A. s. M. bowling at Twigg's alleys
Monday night was one grand surprise
from the opening roll-off until the
last score had been marked UP. The
chief surprise was the fact that the
cellar-bound Empires stopped skidding
and walloped the Kentuckians three
games. The next surprise on tap was
the three game wallop sprung by the
Hoosiers at the expense of the Light
sDrafts. This defeat enabled the EN-
pires to climb within striking distance
of the top rung. The Jumbo's sprung
the last surprise of the evening by
taking two games from the Easy Pulls.
High score for the evening was cap
tured by Ernie Way. with 224, and
Walt Ellis topped the best average
with 1S1. The games:

In the first practice session staged
by the Dodger regulars and Yannigans
at Jacksonville in which Hi Myers took
part, he drove in with his lusty bat
five of the nine runs the regulars col
lected.
Which leads Brooklyn rooters in
particular and National league fans in
general to wonder whether Myers is
set to duplicate his feat of last season.
In the 1919 campaign the Brooklyn
center fielder led the league in driving
in runs. chasing seventy-two runs
over the plate with his wallops.
Myers led the Brooklyn regulars in
hitting last season, compiling 1907
average in his sixth full year with the
Superbas.
fIe is an Ohio boy, hailing from
East Liverpool, where he was born
April 81, 1889. He has been known to
big league fans ever since the Dodgers
bought him from Connellsville in the
West Virginia league in 1909, his first
year in the pro game. The Dodgers
paid $500 for him and although he
travelled around in the minors con-
siderably before landing a permanent
berth in the majors the Dodgers kept
a string on him so that his major
league activities have been confied to
Brooklyn. While gaining experience he
played with Rochester. Sioux City, Mo-
bile and Newark. The Dodgers de-
ctded at the beginning of the 1915 cam
paign that he was ripe to stick and
called him back from Newark. He has
been up ever since. He has always
been an outfielder with the exception
of few games in 1917. He always

broke into the charmed circle of hit
tiers until last season.
