Many collegiate football stars
have tried their hand at professional
baseball. The result has been a COM
plete tiop-for the majority.
Ernie Nevers, CALIFORNIA; foot
ball sensation, is being given a trial
by the st. Louis Browns this spring

by the late Walter Camp on the

heavyweight championship, In tho
fourth round OF "A scheduled twelve
round match at the now Garden

The Bridgeport boxer fioored the

the bout after Mike had taken tho
count OF nine. The bout goes into
tho records as the first knockout
scored on McTigue.
The ex.champlon had little more
than courage, and Delaney. In the
opinion OF most sports writer's, took
every round. The third round was
McTigue's best when he landed three
times on Delaney's chin, but tho

Local Boxer Gets in Solid
WalIops to Beat Smith
No Dull Moments.

There was not a dull moment IN
the National A. c.. boxing show Mon
day night at Tomlinson Hall in
which Merle Alte of this city had
the edge over Harold Smith. Chi
cago featherweight, in the main go
Of ten rounds.
Ate. going in his best form. was
entitled to the verdict over the
shifty, smart Smith. Both boys APP
parently were trying and the bout
was thoroughly enjoyed by the
crowd.
Merle seems to be getting away
from some Of his wild swinging and
rushing, but has not lost his aggres-
siveness. If he fought Smith a few
more times Alte might be entirely
cured of his crouching habit.
The Chicago boy socked in upper
cuts every time Alte dropped into
a crouch and also got in some tell
ing body blows.
There was not a great deal of diff
ference between the two. but AL
tes solid smashes to the head
earned him the verdict. The local
mauler piled up his winning points
in the early rounds. Thereafter it
was fairly even.
The veteran frankie Jones, Louis
vile, middleweight, earned a shade
over Kepner of this city in spite Of
plenty of excess avoirdupois about
the waist line. Jones' wind seemed
to be good in spite of the fat and
he did not tire in the eight rounds.
The last four rounds belonged to
the Kentucky batttler. He out
boxed Kepner, who found frankie
hard to hit. Jones left hand won
for him.
Royal Cox had decided edge
over Larry Pruitt. They are feather
weights of this city. Cox won the
first six rounds while Pruitt had
the last two. Pruitt hardly touched
Royal in the first part of the fight
and ran into a shower Of left jabs.
Neither boy hurt the other much.
Jackie Stewart, Louisville bantam,
won over Cafeteria" Cappadora Of
Indianapolis by a technical knock
out in the sixth round of a sched-
uled six-round bout. Cappadora took
a good beating.
In a four-round prelim Jackie

loser was game and stood quite a
bit Of punishment. They are local
boxers.

no fence back of the plate or on the
foul lines and no club house at the
field, the Tribes training park was
judged fair enough by Manager
Bush. lie took a better view of
things after inspecting the park
where the Milwaukee Brewers are
training
The Brewers have a fence all the
way around their plant. but the in
field Is bad and the outfield doesn't
measure up to the Indians pasture.
The Tribe lost only six balls Monday,
which is not bad considering condi-
tons.
Chill in Air
There was a chill in the air Mon
day, it having showed here Sunday,
but the sun was out with the old
)reath of spring and there was no
Kick registered against the weather.
Chief cause for concern at the mo-
ment is the trouble caused by a num-
Der of hoiiouts among the Indians.
fIolke, Rehg, Schemanske, Henry
md Steele have baked on terms and
are not in camp. Some trouble also
is being had with Burwell and Ste
phenson, but not of a serious nature.
Stephenson is here and Burwell Is
said to be on the way. IIolke's case
involves the Cincinnati Reds as well
as the Indians. He wants part Of
the price paid for him and Cincin-
natl doesn't care to part with the
sum demanded. Commissioner
Lands denied his plea asking to be
made a free agent and Bush has no
idea what the difficulty will amount
to.

will be used at first base. He prac.

talent.

of Cincinnati, did some nifty fielding
and throwing. He looks the part of
a league ball player and may land
a job for developing purposes II he
can show some batting prowess. lie

enson and may make the grade.

that the veteran pitchers will no.
deliver as they did last year.
When Harris traded Tom Zachary

the Norwegian excels at pole vault
ing, broad jumping and running.
The final result may depend upon
the showing Of the contestants in
the sixty-yard sprint, which should
be fairly even.
The winner Will be entitled to con-
slider himself the all-round indoor
track and field champion. If Hoff
can turn the trick. 1t will be a
feather in his cap. for his constant
success at tho pole vault has become
somewhat monotonous to track fans.
Hoff and Nurmi
It is a strange fact that IIofr, for
all his winning personality and
prowess, has not the same capacity
for drawing crowds as was possessed
by Paavo Nurni Of Finland during
the 1924-25 season. Hoff is too
palpably human being. a likable
youngster. modestly pleased with
himself, a good mixer who fits right
into the picture.
There was a mystic quality about
Nurmi. They called him the Phan-
tom Finn and he battered about by
himself, aloof, more like an amazing
machine or a being from another
world than a thing OF flesh and
blood.
If Nurmi comes to this country for
the track and field games which are
to be a part OF Philadelphia sesqui-
centennial celebration next summer,
he will be a greater attraction than
the Norwegian, although It is doubt
full If lie is a greater athlete.

By VEDDER GARD

THERE were a number of ex-
ceptionally good centers at
the State final basketball
tourney last year, and 1t appears
as though the same thing will be
true again this season. Almost
every team has a tall, rangy youth
at the pivot position.
Murphy Of Marion is the tallest.
Schultz of Frankfort is a close
second. 1t is doubtful If any of
them can get off the floor much
higher than Red Eastwood of
Evansville, who is tall and leaps
far into the air. He jumps center,
then drops back to guard posi-
ton under the net, while Grabert,
another big fellow, takes up the
scoring duties.
There are likely to be some
great battles between centers.
Many words of praise for Secr1st
of Newcastle have drifted this
way. He will jump against East
wood in a first-round game. Sec
rist. however, is a scorer and Red
a defensive man.
Schultz of Frankfort is another
of the beanpole type. If Frank
fort downs Aurora, Schultz and
either Secrist or Eastwood will
start hostilities from the little ring
In the middle of the floor. Aurora
also has a star in c. Driver, who
piles in plenty of points.
a If Marion and Frankfort meet in
nc semi-f1nals, 1t will be Schultz
against Murphy, two Of the tallest
centers in the State. The referee
probably will have to get ladder.
We must not forget Whitaker
Of MartinsviIle. He is good
jumper, but not as tall as some
of the others. He is a fine all
round player, with few equals in
Indiana Bedford also has big
man in Coyle, who has a world
, of "drive."
Benson of Logansport also is
good for more than his share of
points. Some of the others we do
not know about may be as good as
the ones mentioned here.
It looks as though that center
job will be well taken care Of in
the final championship play.
