J him a homer" Baseball,
football or basketball-;-it doesn't
matt,,r-if you want to get
punched on the jaw. accuse an
umpire or referee of Intentionally
fatoring the home club.
This gives rise to an interesting
speculation. Do not some officials
go to extremes in their righteous
efforts to give the visitors a fair
deal? We have seen this happen.
There is no reason why the WIS.,
iting club should be given any
favors. All it should have is
square deal
Sometimes it takes more ''guts"
TO call EN- on the visitors than to
penalize the home boys. An Off.
cial in such cases lays himself open
to the liability Of being rated g.
"homer hated word.
An official must never take the
easiest way If he would keep his
own self-respect-no matter what
anybody else thinks. The real Of
fetal makes decisions as he sees
them without regard to anything
else.
There is no use talking, Helen
wills is a Nice winner no matter
where she plays in France. And
she is Nice loser, too, but it
doesn't happen often.
-1 HERE is coach Of a lead
ing high school basketball
- team in this State who has
the right idea about scholarship.
He says that he doesn't want any
poor students on his club-and he
hasn't any.
81 want boys who can under
stand what I'm teaching them.
II they can't or won't 'soaks
the instruction Of other men,
bers ofthe faculty they prob
ably won't learn what I am
teaching about basketball. L
want them metnalIy alert as well
as physically on their toes"
The players on this team aver
age above ninety in their studies
and their basketball average is the
same. One youth who found out
that the coach would not fool with
him unless he did better in the
classroom now is real student
when before he was a funk.
If there was more Of this atti-
tude over the State there would
be fewer boys failing to make
the grade in college. There
would be fewer mistaken ideas
among young athletes who think
that sport activities are going
to get them by.
1t is only fair to the boys and
their parents that they learn in
high school how to mix, in cor
rect proportion, sport and study.
Discretion is the better part Of
valor," said Joe Stecher, heavy
weight wrestler, as he took one
look at Joe Ma1cewicz In a Boston
ring and dived through the ropes
to return no more. This will take
lot of explaining, but it will be
explained. The first thing a
wrestlers learns to throw is the
bull.

Changes Front and
Asks Owners Opinion on
Pitching Question.
BY Eddie Ash

Thomas j. Hickey, president of
the American Association, has de-
cided to consult his club owners
before announcing officially the
stand to be taken by the A. A. on
the resin ball question.
Some time ago Hickey said his
league would follow the lead of the
National and permit pitchers to use
the foreign substance. Owner Smith
of the Indians Immediately voiced
disapproval and vigorously objected
to making a change in the A. A.
code that bars freak deliveries Of
every description. Smith urged
vote Of magnates in the league be
taken
Other Teams Object
It is said few other clubs fell
in line with Indianapolis against the
resin ball and Hickey finally made
change of front and asked for a
vote. The A. A. prexy has a po-
litical majority in the American AS
sociation, but it remains to be seen
If the said majority stays with him
in the latest issue.
At any rate, the Indians forced
the matter to a vote and they have
a hunch they may gain their point.
The American League refuses to
permit the use Of resin and the In
ternational has taken a similar
stand. The Pacific Coast League
has decided to follow the A. AS
move in leaving the matter up to
club owners.
Word From Klug1nan
Joe Klugman, who is slated to fill
the utility role for the Indians,
notified Manager Bush today he
would join the Tribe training camp
party at st. Louis Sunday night
when the Indians special car is
transferred from Big Four route
to the Missouri Pacific. Elmer Voter,
third sacker, reached Indianapolis
today ready for the jaunt to Hot
Springs Sunday.
The Tribe party will depart from
Indianapolis Sunday afternoon at
2:45 and arrive in Hot Springs Mon
day morning at $50.
Some of the pitchers already at
the Springs have been handicapped
in training by bad weather. They
were held idle Wednesday and
Thursday were able to do but little
exercising.

Golf Is a grand sport but It's for
golfers. Magnates can not pack in

TO ATURDAY is March 13. 1t
~ is the unlucky day for
49, forty eight high school bas-
ketball teams. Sixteen will think
thirteen is lucky. All Of which
proves nothing except that lucky
and unlucky superstitions and
emblems have very little to do
with final results. The teams
that get the most points will win.
The clubs that play the best bas-
ketball will survive in spite Of
March 13. Opponents, and not
numbers, are the things to worry
about.
Competition Is the life of
trade. Now we aren't accusing
anybody of anything-NO sir
but it sOrta looks as though the
billiard players are learning a
few tricks from the wrestlers
about passing titles around. The
1872 baIIIine billiard crown now
belongs to Herr Hagenlacher-

r-LTHOUGH the movies In
n sist that virtue triumphs
y and real worth always is
discovered such, unfortunately, is
not the case in many instances in
a rather cruel old world. Oppor-
tunity is needed occasionally along
with ability.
There are many high school
basketball players on obscure
teams over Indiana who are
"aIL-State" material if they were
only living in other towns.
OF course it is difficult to rate
these youths. 1t is nobody's fault
especially that the youngsters do
not receive proper recognition.
Some of them get it in later years
at college.
Many, however, drop out of the
picture not knowing, even them
selves, how good they are. That
would be a certain satisfaction in
itself.
we NOtuu LIMO w NOA "Oi"N "'
these boys that they are real
stars. We hope that a little fel-
low on the SweetZer team reads
this or is told about it. We
don't even know his name, but
he was the best dribbler seen
this year. That's saying quite
lot.
And to all of the good ones on
small clubs, many eliminated from
the running already, congratula-
tions. If it is possible go to col
lege. Ea gle-eyed coaches will not
miss you among the freshmen.
And there are a lot of things at
college besides basketball.

One thinks Of risky business and

it's good. 1t is crisp like short

There must be something in

Z. S. Lawn Tennis
Association VIII Not
Nod on Suzanne's Trip

New York Aug. 10-(P)-Suzanne
Lenglen's projected tour of America
as a professional will receive no
sanction from the United States
Lawn Tennis Association, President
Jones W. Mesereau indicated today.
1T is generally understood that
the United States Lawn Tennis AS
ISOLATION does not approve exhibit
ton matches" explained Mr.. Neser-
eau. I'VE have repeatedly refused
to grant sanctions for exhibitions
between amateurs. 1t is only rea-
sonable to assume, therefore that
our policy would not be altered for
the benefit of professional player.
That opinion, however, should not
be taken as a DECISION. The matter
has not officially come before US and
until it does no official action will be
taken"
In connection with Mile Lenglen's
announced desire to play Helen Wills
during her tour, contained in an AS
ISOLATED Press interview, the nation
al women's champion said she would
be pleased to oppose Suzanne again.
TT all depends on the action of the
tennis officials, however" Miss Wills
said. If they approve the match,
shall be glad to play her. Otherwise,
l do not see how we could arrange a
match

BOXING OFFICIALS WILL PROBABLY
GRANT License FOR DEMPSEY AND
TUNNEY BOUT SOMETIhlE TODAY

New York, Aug. 10-QP}-Jack
Dempsey will defend his world
heavyweight title against Gene Tun-
ney in Is round match at the
Yankee Stadium on September 16,
just as Tex Richard has planned,
providing the champion survives one
more round of his technical tussle
with the states boxing authorities.
There was every indication tonight
that Dempsey would go the remain
ing distance successfully after the
license committee of the state ath-
letic commission, reaching the cr!ti-
cal stage of this legal fray in a hectic
session, had deferred" the cham
pion's application for a license but
also left the way clear for him to
obtain the necessary permit by COM
plying with certain rules and regula-
lions.
The refusal of the committee to
act today on the champions license
at first doomed as distinct setback
but explanations of its decision by
the license committee chairman, Col
onel John ]. Phelan, afterwards made
it clear that only technicalities of ar
ranging contracts stand in the way
of obtaining Dempseys permit.
Stripped Of it's technical elements
the license committee action means
that Dempsey will be granted a IL
cense as soon as the formal contracts
Tor a bout with Tunney are prepared
in accordance with the committees
rules and regulations and submitted
for approval Since the commission,
by a two to one vote, already has
90
match, this will be only a formality
The entire matter may be consul
mated tomorrow at a special session
Of these official bodies, both Of which
are understood to be ready now to
act quickly ITO clear up the situation
and permit arrangements for the
fight to go ahead.
Today's developments, while they
ended in the apparent certain pros
pect that the title battle will be held
here, passed through a series Of dra-
matte and at times confusing stages
during deliberations that lasted for
three hours in the office of the ath-
ietic commission, alternately thrust
ing, Dempsey, Tunney and Harry
wills into the limelight. Wills was
the last of the three fighting men to
appear on the scene but he played
an important part, even though the
result was his virtual elimination
from the role of challenger which he
mas occupied for so long and which
mas stood as a stumbling block to
Dempsey's fighting anyone else in
this state.
The contract which Wills signed
whit Dempsey at Niles, Mich, last
september, was the yehicla which
served apparently to shelve the Ne
gro challenger's ambitions, as well as
to open the way for Dempsey's re-
turn to good standing in this state.
Called unexpectedly and appearing
alone Wills was shown Dempsev's
copytof this contract. The Negro
connrxed his signature and also ad-
mitted under questioning, that while
ne did not himself receive any money
MS manager, Paddy Mullins, did-an
amount understood to be $4,000.
IN view of this, Colonel Phelan ex-
planned, the license committee took
