dribble it out to where his offense

In the elimination play many good
teams fell before teams just a little
bit better. Such teams as Franklin
Bedford and Shelbyville probably
could have beaten some of the six
teen teams IN the final tourney. but
not many.
In fact. at least twelve of the
teams that came to the finals looked
to be equal to the honor. Surely
some Of the players who failed tc
reach the finals were good enough
to be selected as all-State team
players. What they would have
done, however. cannot be guessed at
Probably some of the players
placed In the all-star selections rose
to unheard of heights In the fina

winning of the State high school basketball championship
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-03-23


but recently the clever left handler
has been expressing disappointment
and resentment, because he was
not permitted to go to the majors
last August when $4,000 was said
to have been offered for him.
Along with resentment and dis
appointment over his failure to
over the 1925 Indianapolis con-
tract and Petty demanded more
money than Owner Smith and
Manager Bush thought the club
could stand. Petty was granted a
boost over. his 1924 salary, but he
insisted the Indians meet his terms
or make an effort to send him to a
big league team.
Conferences
Several conferences were held
and It appeared that Petty and
the club officials merely we're
jockeying and that a mutual
agreement surely would be
reached. Petty pitched in the
exhibition games whenever
asked and performed in daily
practice, but finally a show
down" came and today the up
shot was the announcement
that the veteran sOuthpaw
would be USED i'm deal with
major team, provided, of course
the Indians get sufficient money
or players of known ability in
exchange.
Petty is of the opinion it is a case
Of now or never with him and big
league baseball, and he is eager to
get another fling" on the big
line" If he receives his desired
opportunity. the well wishes Of the
Indians will be with him.
The Tribe officials would like to
retain Petty, but gate receipts in
the American Association does not
warrant giving players big league
salaries. The financial end of a
club must be protected and there
10 another angle. If one player on
a team is given big edge over other
veterans Of ability, the harmony Of
the club is shot to pieces.
Immediate Delivery"
Petty won twenty-nine games for
Indianapolis in 1924. 1t is true lucra-
tive offers were made for him in
August, but said offers called for
immediate delivery" and the In
dams at the time were fighting for
the pennant and Petty's services
were needed.
Perhaps some magnates would
have sold Petty instantly, but
owner Smith and manager Bush
decided 1t would be an act of
treason toward Indianapolis
fans II they disposed of their
leading pitcher while the club
was In the midst Of champion
ship battle.
OF course, the clubs attitude last
August. was unfortunate for Petty,
the individual, but ball team oper-
ates year after year, and the sup
port Of the home fans can not be
tossed into the ash can Just to please
one player.
Smith and Bush said today: I'VE
are doing the very best we can for
Jess Petty. We appreciate his fine
pitching last season and his many
victories. We don't criticise him for
trying to obtain as much salary as
possible, but the financial condition
Of our cab and the attendance in
the American Association force us
70 keep watchful eyes on the club
pay roll. We cannot meet his terms.
We know he is ambitious to receive
another big league trial, and we are
keeping the v-ires warm trying to
place him."
