Saturday

Pueblo Indians basket ball five Will
havo a busy time of it this week. To-
night they meet tho Steel Works ''Y''
Wire Mill quintet in a match contest
at the Steel club. The Wire Mill crew
have been showing great promise on
the floor lately and assure the Indians
that they will cop the long end of the
score.
Coach Prindle's tribcsmen. however,
consider tonight's game in the light of
a workout for the contest coming with
Sugar City on Saturday night in the
Centennial gymnasium, when the Red
men will play the Beet Growers in the
main event on a double header card.
Tho Centennial high school five will
play in tho preliminary game with tho

Kansas Conference whore he played in

It is reported that each member of the

marks that have been made concern
ing his unwillingncss to meet Miko

o'Dowd Is perfectly willing to meet
Wilson. but he Will sign articles for
such n match only upon being guar
antccd 30 per cent OF the gross re-
ccipts taken In at Madison Square

although he undoubtedly is the moro

understand that the bigger part OF

a fec in excess of 30 per cont, and
with O'Dowd demanding such a big
share negotiations for tho match arc

next fall. Pitt is willing to go to the

Nothing moro spectacular in a football

In anticipation of tho hardest gsms
of the season, excepting possibly

dcrcd the Indians out for strenuous
practice last night. In the course OF

lief he has boon drilling his tribcsmcn

New York. Feb. 1.-Argument in a
suit for ownership of the noted thor
oughbred stallion. Friar Rock, in
which appointment of a receiver for
the horse was asked, was on the su-
preme calendar here today.
Tho suit was filed by John E. Mad
den. owner of a breeding establish
ment at Lexington, Ky, against John
u. Rosseter of Santa Rosa, Calf. 1t
is said to be tho first action of its
Kind instituted in this state. In his
affidavit Mr.. Madden, who paid Au-
gust Belmont $4,000 for Friar Rock
after he had won the Brooklyn and
Suburban handicaps in 1916 as a
three-year-old, declared he subse-
quently sold a half interest in the
horse to Mr.. Rosseter under condi-
tions by which the latter failed to
abide.
The Kcntuckian requested per-
emptory writ of mandamus calling
upon Rosseter to return the horse
from California to kentucky for
breeding purposes as stipulated in a
contract F'riar Rock, Madden as
serted, was to stand in California in

London, Feb. An the British
golfers who visited America during
1920 returned with wonderful, il not
alarming, stories of a new type OF
golf club which was in almost univer-
sal use in the United States. 1t Is
known as the ribbed iron. Cyril Toll
ley, the British champion, who failed
TO qualify for the American champion
ship, first told of the extraordinary
popularity of these ribbed clubs, which
include clccks, straightfaced irons,
nid-irons, msshies, and niblicks.
While the British players were talk
ing hah iron shots for distances OF
$50 to 40 yards to the green, the
Americans played full shot with
mashic. and swung tho club like
driver with a pronounced corruca-
ticn on the face of the club, they were
able to stop the ball on the hard sur
face, whereas the ,Bnslishmen tound
their approach shots racing headlorS
across the green's. Then came Var
don and Ray. who told tho same story.
They were often tempted to make
use OF these ribbed implements, but
they stuck to the legitimate clubs and
produced the same effect in a dit-
|erent way. In other words, they en-
pIoyed real solfinG skill as against
artificial methods. ComiRS back IN

FRANK BANCROFT
(By Norman z. Brown-)

(By Norman Il. Brown-)
Tho most reEretable feature OF tho
grand old game of baseball is that.
one by one, tho mon who helped make
tho game in tho last two or three de-
cadcs must drop out.
Frank Bancroft is one of these men.
He has retired as business manager
of the Cincinnati Reds after thirty
years OF service with that club. His
retirement was voluntary, due to poor
health. lie will receive n substantial
pension tho rest OF his life.
Bancroft's servicos were not con-
fined TO tho Reds. He boosted base
ball in many ways. Tho present
popularity of baseball in Cuba is due
to his enterprise in being the first one
to take n team of stars there TO play.
Bo was, when he resigned, the dean
Of baseball officials He learned to
play the game while soldier in tho
Union forces back in Civil war dnys.
When the war ended Bancroft saw a
future in baseball and stuck to 1t.
In 1877 "Banny" drew attention by
managing successfully n team at New
Bedford. Jim Mutrie, famous old
time player. was captain and short
stop on that team. And each month
a truck unlonded Mutrie's salary at
his door-it was $50. Harry Stovcy
was q member OF tho outfit.
Two years later Bancroft formed the
Hop Bitters team at ltochestcr, n
Y, and 1t was tho team that ho took
to Cuba. Tho next year "Banny'
went to Worcester and in 1881 and
1852 managed tho Detroit team in the
National league. Tho next year> hc
built up n team for Providence in tho
National league. This team won tho
first worlds championship from the
Metropolis of New York. After that
Bancroft was with Rochester. Phi,1-

before joining tho Reds in 1890.
