Simpson Cagesters
 Haue Taken Defeaf
 By Central to Heart
By BILL LADD


 There are three things that are neces- sary to win a basketball game They are, namely, passing ability, shooting ability, and luck All of these the Cen tral quintet possessed in larger gobs than did the Simpson lads and that tells the tale.
 The quintet firmly believe that they have the stuff to win basketball games, and they mean to prove it. Individually, they stack up with any of them. but as team there is much room for i'm provement.
 That the Simpson clan has stuff was shown yesterday, when in the last Is,in- ute of play they shot three field goals. But there was something lacking ur until that time
 The Junior Panthers take their defeat at the hands of the Crimson clan 10 heart, for as it was stated by Coach Reynolds yesterday morning, we would rather beat Central than Yale or Har- vard.'
 Simpson suffered from the absencs of two stars, Newton, on the pivot, and Englebert, forward. With these two hack in the fold, hopes are high for a suc- cessIul ending to a season that was begun badly.

"DUSTER" MAILSA REAL INVESTMENT
 FOR THE INDIANS
By JAMES J. CoRBETr

| It cost the Cleveland Indians $24000 to gather in Walter c'Duster'D Mails and the return on that investment already has reached more than 500 per cent. The deal, perhaps was the best ever made in baseball history.
 Through the closing weeks of the 1910 campaign the Indians, groggy from the terrific stretch struggle, slipped a bit and lost the leadership of the league Co vaieskie, Baghy and Caldwell, who had borne the brupt of the pitching burden, were jaded and weary. It was impos- sible for them to-carry on fuTNler work ing in rotation. It was up to the Indians to get another pitcher who could jump in and give those boys relief, and at the same time win-and win-and continue to win.
 SUGGEST MAILS
 Al this psychological moment, a CIeve- land scout suggested Mails who hao been pitching in sensational fashion for the Sacramento club. The southpaw, some years before, had been given a big league chance, but had failed He had record for being cratic and without control. It was gamble as to whether or not few years in the minors had en- abled him to overcome his faults Iris Speaker took a gamble and wired the Sacramento club:
 Your terms accepted. Send Mails 
 Mails arrived and at once began to make baseball history. He pitched six full games for the Indians-just six-and won them all It was a phenomenal showing. but only. a phenomenal per formance could have won the pennant 1 for Cleveland

 It will be the third time that McGovern and Boorde have met, so it is natural that wee Lit of rivalry should have sprung up between the two. Anything If pitted against something else several times soon gets to looking forward to the meetings in order to secure revenge. So 1t IS with McGovern and Boorde The youngsters have fought twice before and each time it was draw. Each believes that he has found the weak points or the other and is confident that victory is sure to come his way this time. This much was gleaned from talk with both contestants yesterday afternoon.
 Very little more can be said about Freddie Boorde than has already been said. Tommy Tompkins' brief remark yesterday, Freddie is in the best condi- tion of his life. Watch his smoke to- morrow night would indicate that the local scrapper is prfmed for the scrap tonight.
 Young McGovern appeared on the scene yesterday morning and he looks fit for anything but a pink tea party, Not that the young New Orleans scrapper is not lion in society, put that his physique fits him for more strenuous things than slipping tea from a fragile china cup

CENTRAL QUINTET
 SWAMPS SIMPSON CAGESTERS, A TO16
Junior Partners Unable to Hold Fast Crimson Basketball
 Demons
By BEN GREEN

Yesterday afternoon at the B. A. c.
 the carmine c1othed basketeers of
 Centrars Crimson crushed the Simpson
 school scrappers decisively by Al to
 16 score. Centraps ell-balanced ma
 chine, hitting on all cylinders, showed
 under the Simpsonites in easy fashion.
 The first half ended with the count
 26 to for the Crimson clan. After about five minutes of the second half had elapsed, Coach Meyers sent in ali
 of his substitutes. Later he sent some of the regulars back in with instruc- tons to practice passwork, much to the amusement of the onlookers,, of which there were quite a few.
 Tiny Tom Anderson was the lead ing scorer of the afternoon, dropping them in for total of r tallies. His passwork was excellent, and he worked the five-man defense like a charm. Capt. 'Nigger" Lawley pulled several sensational overhead loops and finished up with. IA of the cher ished points. He fought all the time, and ran the floor constantly. Mule" Stubbs was not up to his standard at either field or foul shooting. but his passwork was excellent. Carlisle and farrell played great games at their posts, and kept the Simpson forwards from getting dangerous. The subs played fairly well, but naturally did not have the finish that the varsity rossessed.
 The Simpson aggregation did not possess any very good shots. except Senn, who is too light to get many chances. They missed many easy ones as also did the Central boys. Senn played very good game at for ward, and shot his very few oppor- tunities well. Lee, at center played well, but was smothered by the Gen. tral sentinels, when he got near the basket. Tanner and Tucker played like wild men when they got in the game, but were rather rough. The simpson crowd has a good foundation for fine quintet, and with Englebert l and Newton back will have to be | watched with care
 The entire game was roughly; but | cieverly played, and the refereeinE | was of high caliber. A good attend- l ance was in order, and much enthusi- | asm was shown. The seats down on | the floor have been removed, and all | the spectators sat in the balcony. This move makes the game much | more open and there is not so much danger of either player or spectator getting injured.

 Mails and in addition it agreed to turn over three players. two immediately and the other by February 1. 1921. In event of failures to turn over the third player the Sacramento club was to get s4,o5o in cash.
 Players Faeth and Niehaus figured in the deal They are with Sacramento now and are reckoned by that club to be worth 5000 apiece. Sacramento undoubt- edly will get cash instead of a player on February 1, which means that Cieve- land paid 1000 In players and money for the mighty left-hander.
 But in exchange, Cleveland got the most sensational southpaw in the Amer ican league, and because of the brilliant work of that southpaw the Cleveland club got into the 1920 world series and gathered in $153,713. So it can be seen that the expenditure of s24,00o for Mails enabled Jim Dunn to boss . world s champion outfit and enriched his coffers more than skiold.
 It was real investment, undoubtedly the best ever made since baseball became the national pastime Copyright, 1921 by King Features Syn

 There is one thing that can be said in McGovern's favor He certainly has wallop. During the first round of his scrap with Boorde here about two months ago. he landed right handler to freddie's jaw and the local scrapper went down for part of the count. Boorde said that it was terrible blow that floored him. and that he has been hold ing it against McGovern ever since.
 I'm about to get a grudge agains. that fellow. even though he and I are pretty good friends confessed Freddie "Pll teach that old timer how to fight tomorrow night" he added.
 Of course Guy Roux is tip with Mc- Govern. fight with a New Orleans scrapper would not seem natural without the long and lean Guy on the spot to make things merry while in the city.
 The fight tonight will be preceded by four fast preliminaries between Tommy Tompkins' boxers, in which bouts be- tween some of the most promising anna teurs Birmingham can produce will fea- lure. Red Allen will make his debut cefore local fans against Carl Arnold, while Jimmy Woods, Young Jones, Hor- ace Hooper and others will fight also.
