Bush has not given up hopes of
Hodapp developing, but he realizes
the risk a club takes when it has a
mere youth guarding the shortfeld
and he wants to be ready to jump in
there at the least signs of break
down.
Bush has improved Hodapp's style
of throwing and is confident the lad
can bat, but the Cincy boys leg work
has not been loose enough to satisfy
the Tribe manager.
High-class shortstops are scarce ar
ticles, but Bush is keeping his eyes
on many other baseball camps and will
not overlook an opportunity to snare
prospect.
The Indians rested over Sunday,
but were prepared to resume strenu-
GUS action today.
They meet the Cleveland Americans
here Tuesday and desire to give
Speakers heavy hitting aggregation
a struggle worth watching.
Manager Bush is to start scrub
games in practice.

Babe, with a loconic finallty that

The reader VIII recall that the Babe

frequency and ferocity for a couple Of
seasons to come. But last year and
the year before the Babe did not 60

Wants His Home Runs
Matters may be a bit different with
the Babe this year; he confdes pri-
vately that he prefers busting in its
crude, elementary forms to the high
er and more polished elements of Of

hitting.

Ruth has a perfectly logical notion
that Ban Johnsons new policy of

too badly nicked In play will help
him build up a new home-run record.
Fewer Bases on Balls
'I think the pitchers will pitch to
me oftener with the old balls than
they did with the new ones" says
the Babe. 1.-The pitchers are sup
posed to attain greater effectiveness
with discolored balls and that should
encourage them to take more chances
with the dangerous httters.
II am certainly willing to gamble
with them. They walked me ITO times
last year. Let 'em, cut that number
in half this year and see-well, see
If I don't get more than forty-one

For the benefit of the stupid chill
dren in the back row 1t is repeated
that the Babe made forty-one homers
last year, and was tied with Cy Will

thousands of fans who saw the six

two-day tournament probably wiz say
The Martinsville team aid not have
the best basketball players in the
state in every position.
Agreeing with the las statement il
has been a difficult task to select
twenty-three men from the 119 boys
who exhibited their wares and separ-
ate them into three teams and a list
OF honorable mention positions as the
Times AI-State honor list.
FiVe-Men Teams
Ffve-men teams were selected be
cause in our estimation they consu-
tute the regulation number Of play
CTS IN any contest. Almost strict ad-
herence 20 choosing the men from
the positions they played was also fol
lowed. Self Of Bedford it will be noted
jumped center, and then moved to a
forward position. For Richmond
Johanning jumped center. but played
the back guard position. They were
regarded as forward and back guard
respectively.
Robinson of COnnersvule was prOba-
bly, the most finished center that has
played in a high school tournament
in years. Wherever his team needed
him he played to perfection, a truly
great defensive and offensive man, as
well as a leader. Cummins is selected
over Brown by the narrOwest OF mar
gins, because of his great showing
in the Richmond game. Brown like
wise played great ball in every. game.
but loses for second choice by the
narrowest margin.
Self and Wright
Self OF Bedford and Wright OF Mar
tinsville have the finesse of two
great forwards. Those who saw their
work both under the hoop and out
on the floor viii agree they have a
margin over the others, although
slight Wright averaged four field
goals each game while Self was the
offensive strength Of the Stone City
crew.
W. Schnaiter of Martinsville gets
the call over Kessler Of Richmond, the
Gimbel prize winner, for rioor guard
position because he can shoot has
kets. KsssIer is the better dribbler
and floor worker. but can't hit the
hoop. Good of Frankfort. a steady.
heady player, was main cog in the
Frankfort machine. but has a very
slight margin over Ridge Of Corners
vile.
POgue Of Frankfort is almost a
unanimous choice for back guard
Like Skinner Of Bedford, he had to
stand back under the hoop and watch
the eagle eye sharpshooters of Mar
tinsville hit from the center Of the
floor and farther out. Under the hoop
Martinsville could do little with
either of them r. Schnaiter, a hard
fighter and a good long shot, is placed
on the third team.
