Y Floor Tonight

The Em-Roes meet the Fl. Wayne
Knights of Columbus team tonight at the
Y. NJ C. A in a game thae should prove
to be a fitting climax to a redhOt season
Of basket ball. The local team is in good
shape and feeling about peppery enough
to give the chesty Knights a beating.
The X C.s would not know how to take
a defeat, as the bunch that is together
now has never tasted the sting of re-
verse.
The only cause for worry that the EN-
Roes have is the fact that Friddle's sore
hands are giving him some trouble. But
this bit Of bad luck is Offset by the sur
prise-feature of the game tonight. The
locals have announced that a new player
will appear in the Green and White uni"
of the sporting goods team. Who this
player is has so far been kept dark
secret.
The TT. Wayne five is claiming the
championship of "these here parts" and
It is the ambition Of every En- Roe TO
puncture that little bubble the Knights
have been blowing. StOnebreaker, Bacon,

have something to say about the final re
suit also, and so nobody will be any
the wiser until tonight when the teams

The teams are Franklin. Martinsvflle.

One Of the most important games Of

ment Martinsville beat Garfield High
School of 1erre Haute by So to-19 score.
Franklin won from Sullivan, SO to 3. Il
is evident that Garfield and Sullivan
were very weak, but it is also evident
that Franklin and Martinsville are un-
usually strong. The result of the game
is sure to be close, but it would appear
as if Franklin had an edge over Martins
Vile.
Rochester, the most powerful Of the
teams from the far northern part Of IN

think our pitching will be better than
it was last season, our batting heavier
and the speed Of the club, as whole,

Mayor and Governor In
Bitter Rivalry Battle

A considerable scrap has developed
over who Will start in the pitchers box
when the Indians stage their opening
game at Washington Park, April l3. The
contenders for honors are Governor war
rem L. McCray and Mayor Charles w.
Jewett.
Friends Of Governor McCray insist ne
has more speed because he is In better
training. having recently come out OF a
long political fight and having fought
through session Of the Legislature.
On the other hand, friends Of the mayor
insist he is eminently qualified, having
had more experience in pitching first
balls and having been pitcher on the
De Pauw University baseball team.
In answer to this the friends OF the
Governor insist that 1t Is about his turn
to pitch the ball.
Anyway, both the Governor and the
mayor will be right on hand for the open
ing game, both having boxes set aside for
them for that purpose.
The seat sale for the first game Is 60
ing on apace. The Rotary Club already
has reserved 400 seats for Its members
Armour g. Co. has reserved four boxes
for q number Of its officials and EN-
ployes and their wives.

preparing to be right on the Job. He

CROWLEY, La, March 17.-Good news
for the Tribe fans back home: Tex Gov
ington has accepted terms. The heavy
hitting first sacker emerged from the
holdout class this morning when he wired
Manager Hendricks from his home ut
Dennison, Texas, that he was ready to
sign 1921 contract and would report at
the training camp here Friday or Sat
urday.
News Of the big Texans coming was
received with Joy by the Tribe players
today because the presence Of the vet
eran at first base probably will give
the Indians the best inheld layout in
the American Association. Covington at
first, Sticking at second, Schneider at
short and Baird at third looks like a
whale of q combination, and Manager
Hendricks was In gleeful spirits today 80
he thought over the possibilities Of that
lineup.
Covington hit for an average Of 299
last season, and most Of his safeties pro-
duced runs. He is regarded as one of the
best hitters in the league with men on
bases and he is also a marvel for help
ing runners steal bases because Of his
peculiar position at the bat.
ATTREAU WILL
GET CHANCE.
The coming Of Covington will not mean
the release Of Attreau, the youngster who
has been holding down the first sack.
