prominent in Industrial baseball circles
for the past three years, having played
many of the big teams in the Middle
West maintained by factories. Joe NC
Ginnitv. former iron man" Of the New
York Giants, has been the Staiey man
ager and he taught young Sel0 many
tricks of the twirling art.
1t was q stroke of fortune tnat Gu
abled Hendricks to grab the youth ZOE

factory that maintained the club, an
nounced Thursday night that the plant
would dispense with its athletic program

KROHN TO BOX
IN MAIN GO

Chuck Virgins opponent in the main
bout of the Elks' boxing exhibition at
Tora1inson Hall, Monday night will be
Harry Kron Of Akron, Ohio. Krohn will
substitute for Eddie O'Hare, who sprained
an ankle while training. O'Hare asked
for a postponement, but this the Elks
could not give and Matchmaker Nc
Laughlin hurriedly set out to sign an
other man to pit against Virgins. He
tried for Billy Miske, Billy Shade, Martin
Burke and Krohn and the last named
seemed to be in the best shape to take
the bout on short notice. Miske's man
ager wired he could not take the date,
saying that Billy would need more time
to prepare for a meeting with such a
man of Virgins caliber.
Due to the fact that Krohn won a
decision over Virgins about two years
ago and that he has been quite active
since, Matchmaker Mclaughlin decided
he ought to be able to I'LL the bill to the
satisfaction of the fans.
Dates for three additional boxing
shows were set at the meeting OF the

the Leaders showed some Of the best In

of their great showing against the strong
Morris Street FIVE they are considered
more than ever the favorites to win the

attack with five goals apiece from the
field. Barnum also dropped in four from
the foul line But it was not alone the

the second half the Fairbanks crew
pulled away and won 1B to g. Claussen

to the clever floor work of Clark at
center that the winners scored. Clark

bach got two Of them and Braun the
other one.
The young DeMolay team showed sur
prsing passing ability after they got

the Highway Cigar team, winning easily
26 to IL. Schetters and Turk led the
offensive for the winners, counting five
goals each from the field. The Highway
five could not get together and were at
no time very dangerous. lngersoH at
center played a good game.
The Dutch Specials were outclassed by
the Den Zare team, which got the de-
cision Ly a 81 to Il score. The winners
divided up the scoring very evenly,
Slaughter and Mcclure getting three
apiece and Hutchinson throwing in four.
Keach and Diedrich counted one each

LOCALS IN FAST
WEEKEND CARD

All three Indianapolis high school bas-

company over the weekend. ShortrIdee

These four games mark the hardest
weekend competition the local nVes nav c

tender for the State title. The North

loose with everything they possess, an
even split may result oyer the Weeh u o.
Franklin, present State champions,
with victories already scored over Manual
and Shortrdge, is awaiting the appear
ance Of the third Indianapolis SchooI.
Tech however, has struck raster pace
in its recent games and although the dope
fayors the State champs, the Green and
White Is anything but scared over the
outlook. A large delegation Of rooters
will accompany the local team.
Manual is all set for the invasion OF
Bloomington Saturday, and If good phys
ical condition and determination have
anything to do with the result, Bloom
ington will have harder time than some
Of the wise ones anticipate. Manual fol-
lowers have not forgotten that it was
Bloomington that eliminated the Red and
White in tie second round Of the State
championship meet two years ago and
since Bloomington fans believe they have
another team headed toward the title
this year q victory by Coach Evans ag
gregation Saturday would be extremely
pleasing from a Manual viewpoint.
Bloomington and Franklin play tonight
at Franklin and in addition to weakenin g
both teams for the encounters with the
