you know is often responsible for wild
throws by the helders.
Don't believe anybody who tells you
that the emery ball or the shine ball Is
mostly myth. There's no doubt that
they are realities and that they have been
used successfully. And 1t is a certainty
that the ban against them will greatly

competing because of confiiction with the

SLAUGHTER OUT
OF TECH LINEUP

Technical will try to get back on the
winning side of the score sheet tomor-
row evening. when Coach Black leads
bis net tossers into Nfuncie for a gmme
with the touted high school aggregation
of that place. Muncie. although cassed
as a second rater early in the season,
has been running wild in its recent games
and is now conceded to have a fair chance
for the state title. The 81 to-32 defeat
handed the Jefferson quintet last week
is convincing evidence of Muncie's
strength, as Jefferson is ranked among
the best in the northern part of the
state
The team that will represent the east
side institution in this game will be a
different one from that which has been
playing in the recent contests. as Slaugh-
ter. who suffered a sprained knee in the
trip and 1t is not certain that Griggs
or VanArsdale viii be able to play the
entire contest The gap left by Saugh
ter's injury will be n hard ono to fill
as he has been the big noise in the east
siders offensive play all season. and is
one of the most consistent point getters
in the city. In the event that Grggs Is
able to get in the game, however, hopes
of a Tech victory Will be at par at
least
Following the Muncie scrap only one
more contest remains on the Tech card
before the sectional, Jefferson being
played Feb. % at the local Y. M. G.. A.
Should the locals win both this game
and the one with Muncie they will go
into the sectional with the enviable rec
ord of having won nine out of their
last ten games played

BOXING
HURLER BOMAN
BOUGHT FROM
SOUTHERNC CLUB
Big Highlander Purchased
for Indians on Recon-
mendatiOn of Flaherty.

Manager Jack Hendricks today made
the first move in the rebuilding Of the
Indians pitching staff for 1920 by pur-
chasing Pitcher Ted Boman from the
Little Rock club of the Southern associa
ton. Boman is a big right handler, So
former collegian and A. E. F. veteran.
He was bought on the recommendation
Of Patsy Flaherty. who has a reputation
for picking young pitchers because he
was hurting star himself when in ae
tive service on the diamond.
Flaherty managed Mobile in 1918 and
saw BOman twirl for the Little Rock
club. and in giving Hendricks pointers
on the pitcher Patsy said he believed
Boman possessed the, necessary stuff to
prove big winner in Glass IA com
pany.
Boman twirled only nine games for
Little Rock before joining the forces %
Uncle Sam. but he won six of those nine
and demonstrated that he was also good
fielder. Roman was late in returning
from France and did not center the
league games in 1919. but spent the sum
iner with shop team in Birmingham
whore he Won numerous games in 20 in
dustrial contests. He is a graduate o.
Alabama university and his pitching
record there attracted the attention o.
Manager Bob Allen of Little Rock wha
got the young hurler's name to con
tract. Allen managed Indiana polls back
In the old days and in selling the services
OF Boman to the Hoosiers Allen remarked
that he hoped the young fellow would
play big part in giving the Indians a
winner.
Manager Hendricks has deals for other
new pitchers on the fire and expects to
land at least two more shortly.

championship, at the 'Y" Tuesday night
in a game that promises to bring out the
best basketball Of the season. The Rayls
will come here with a record of eighteen
victories out of twenty-one games playeu.

veterans of the court game and three
youngsters. who are being grooomed bF
Coach Ernie Wilson, to step up for nrst-
string positions by next year.
The team that will be sent against ,the
locals is composed of the men who tore
through everything in the middle west
last year and, with victories TO their
credit over the University Of Michigan
Chicago university and the Buffalo LIN
coins. Polish champions of America
there is nothing to cause any doubt as
to their speed and ability to stack up the
points, The Rayls have won one ana
lost one to the Dayton Triangles TINS

night the local fans will get chance TO
see what they missed when the Triangles
failed to appear here for their two
scheduled g5mes with Callshan's team.

Here We have two or three meetings

"Why couldn't we all get together at

the !deal program.
THE maguates wouldn't he scattered
