Keen Interest ShOJUn
in Turner's Battle
With Physical Eds
Followers of Teams Ready to
Turn Out in Big Num-
bers Saturday.

Basketball fans of the city are taking
keen interest in the Saturday clash be-
tween the South Side Turner's and the
Physical Eds, to be staged at the
Athenaeum Both teams have been com
ing to the front rapidly recently and
the form displayed by the Gymnasts in
their contest with the En- Roes leads
many followers of the court game to be
lieve the Eds are threatening to develop
a team something on the order of the
big winner they put out few seasons
back Seelbach, who played guard on
The previous victorious five, is still with
the team and the other members are
developing rapidly.
On the other hand the South Side
Turner'S have undergone reorganization
until they stack up prominently in state
basket circles. The south side aGGrega
tlon is made up of some of the younger
independent stars who have graduated
from the high school ranks and they are
forming into a crack machine with plenty
of cork" to meet the fastest pace. Both
the Gymnasts and Turner's have large
following and a big crowd will attend
SATURDAYS game. A dance will follow
the basketball event and this added fea-
ture no doubt will prove popular.

BILLIARDS
HENNING MATCH
ON At CLAYWOOL

Gene Hcnning and Frank Lester we're
to open their special 800 point pocket
billiard match at the Claypool parlors at
, 80 o'clock this afternoon and a big
gallery was expected to be present.
Much interest has been worked up in
the match, as Lester has won a number
of followers since he came up from Ten
nessee to reside here. He is playing
H6nning even and some wonder shots are
due to be pulled in the event. The
second and last block of $50 points viii
be played Friday night, starting at $50.
L. D. Turner's challenge for a second
chance with Henning has been accepted
by the former state champion, and the
event probably will be staged next week
at tparlor other than the Claypool at
the request of Turner. BY playing these
special matches and giving free instruc-
tion in pocket billiards at the Claypool
during the morning hours Hennlng is
rapidly tuning up for his effort to re
gain the state pocket cue honors from
Leesc of Terre Haute, the match to be
played later in the season. No admission
is charged to the special match games at
he ClayDOOl.

PARIS, Jan. 22.-Color is lent the
stories about psychic" boxing tactics
of Carpenter and Descamps by the I'M
usual secrecy which is thrown about the
Carpenter camp when be is in train
ing.
It is not beyond doubt that the shrewd
Descamps considers this mystery the
best form Of drumming up interest in
his pupil. At any rate Carpenter trains
in pure darkness, compared to Amert-
can pugilists' methods. True, people are
not barred from the camp, when they
go there to inspect the training. But
whereas Dempsey, for instance, was fol
lowed by crowd in motor cars when
he went for a run. by other boats when
he went for n row, and was generally
in the spotlight for months, the visitor
to Carpenters camp is suspiciously re-
garded. Things sort of slow up. at once.
Descamps tries to shield his ward from
all eyes save those of his own camp
He alone knows the reason, but perhaps
it is because he does not want attaches
of rival camps shopping around. Just
before the Beckett fight Descamps, fol-
lowing his custom, took Carpenter
down to the Holborn stadium for try
out in the actual ring in which the fight
was to be held. Carpenter was in the
ring aud proceedings had started when
an interloper appeared. Everything

S. Fl. S. FALTERS
BEFORE FRANKLIN

The Franklin High school basket men
were not forced to show any exceptional
speed to defeat shortrldse, Al to IS, on
the north side court last night. The hrst
half Of the contest was hard fought but
the Shortrldge lads were outclassed on
all sides and were trailing, II to g. when
the whistle blew.
In the second period the Blue and
White machine flew to pieces and the
visitors found scoring as easy as falling
off a log. The passing Of the Franklin
quintet was a little above the high school
average and they started only a few
marches down the floor that were
stopped before they made a basket.
White and Vaudivar played the best
game for the winners and Caldwell and
Kitchener starred for Shortridge Stevens
worked hard for the Blue and White
school, but his broken finger kept him
from making several points.
Tho Shortridge men are not lacking in
lighting ability. They work hard from
whistle to whistle, but their teamwork
was door.

Debs Win from Y. NJ. HI. A.
in Amateur League Game

Right now it would take a derrick
and a couple of big mules to pull the
idea that the Debonatrs are going to
come out on top in the local district
Of the Indiana 150poGnd amateur cham
pionship tourney out of the minds OF
their followers. The big idea has been
growing in the minds OF said followers
since Coach Squires opened his stir prac-
tice program week ago, and last night
it shot up few more notches when
the Black and White warriors trimmed
the y. NJ. Fl. A. 80 to 81 in their third
round game of the city amateur loop
on the South Side Turner court.
The Debs opened with everything they
had aud before the first half was over
they were out in front by a big margin.
Squires jerked out three of his regulars
and sent second string men in TO flY
their places In the second half but it
seemed as though everybody had the
scoring habit and the communal boys
couldn't stop them. The losers scored
most of their points during the last len
minutes of play when the "Debs" SLOWED
down to walk in order to make things
Interesting for the crowd of rooters that
turned out for the fray.

rare intervals that he could induce a

ring with him.
Blackburns opponents ranged all the
way from lightweights to heavyweights.
In one week he made the lightweight
limit for one opponent and then met a
mlddleweght and a heavyweight. win
