The forward positions seem to
o1er the most uncertainty as to
who will make those berths on the
team. Goodell, Jebens, Dau and
Mckeever have the lead for this
position. Dau is exhibiting head |
work and speed in his workouts.
and most likely he will land one of !
the forward positions. GoOdell is
showing real speed and can easily |
be rated as one of the fastest men
on the floor.
The alternates for the center lob
are Leese and Hill. Both these
players are playing a good game at

ED WALSH PUTS
LAJOIE AT TOP
AMONG HITTERS

Who is the greatest batter in tn,
history of the game?
Some will say Hans Wagner
who for years was the big noise il
the National league.
Others will select Iris Speak
er, Rogers Hornsby, Ty Cobb OF
any of score of other great bats
men who have graced the game.
! Many of the modern day fans
and writer's will Immediately slim
the honor to Babe Ruth, the home
run king.
Listen TO what Ed Walsh. one of
the greatest pitchers of all times
says on this very interesting ques-
ton.
Walsh was pitcher all batters
mated to face. He was a spitbaIl
pitcher pure and simple. His I'M
canny control enabled him to keen
the ball low. A spitted broken at
the knee or lower, is the hardest
ball in the world to hit.
With Walsh pitching, the batter
didn't get any cripples, which in
the slang of the ball field means a
last ball right over the plate. With
three balls and two strikes. and
Walsh pitching, the easiest Offering
the batter could expect was a fast
breaking splitter.
here is what Walsh says about
the greatest batter of all times:
Larry Lajoie is the only batter
est batter any man ever pitched TO
Larry Jojoie is the only batter
ever pitched to who never broke
ground.
NO matter where l pitched to
LaJoie he was always in the same
spot for the next pitched ball He
never changed positions, he never
broke.

BROWNS BEAT
HIGH SCHOOL

Browns Business college de-
feated the Rock Island high school
last night, at Washington school,
1920. The game was hard fought
throughout but was married by
roughness. The business college
boys outplayed their opponents
during three quarters but the high
school made~a great uphill fight in
the last quarter and almost took
the game.
The high school had good team
work but could not work the ball
closer than the middle of the floor
and from that point had to shoot.
Browns also depended on long
!. shots
n Greene and Ross were the stars of
Vthe game. GTeene's guarding abil-
lty held the high school down, and
his hard playing throughout the
game was the feature. He was
taken out in the third quarter on
account of four personal fouls.
Ross also displayed good guarding
ability and threw the basket in the
last minute that won the game
Gregg and LinGquist made the ma
Jorlty or the points for Browns.
Whlle Herbert, making only one
point, played 4 stellar floor game.
For the high school. Captain
Shetter was the outstanding star /

Christmas holidays. The school
year closed yesterday. It will open
Jan. 6, when the spring term be-

the majority of players on the

are DESTROYS of spending their va
cation at home. Local members
of the squad may meet during the
vacation for workouts but these
will be so few that the proposed

RAY DEMANDED
EXPENSES FOR
HIS Wife, TOO

Chicago, Dec. 23.-The invesli-
cation of charges of professional
ism against several noted middle
west athletes, directed by the Ma
tional a. A. U. officials, has dis
closed that in at least one case,
the alleged excessive expense ac-
counts of amateur athletes included
the cost of bringing an athletes
wife along.
The Genital A A. u, which was
ordered to search the records of
Joie Ray, 10 and Frank Loomfs.
and others. forwarded its reports
today, citing the case of Ray in
particular.
When invited TO a big eastern
meet, Ray let it be known that he
wished to take his wife, and that
the maximum allowance of 81 a
day permitted amateur athletes
would be insufficient for both. Tho
club promptly allowed additional
expenses for Rays wife. and from
this incident, chiefly, the charges
arose.
Central a. A. u. officials are
watching with keen and amused in
terest the action which NAV be
taken by the national body in the
situation they have presented.
