Fistic Fans
Await Gong
at Harrison
First Outdoor Ring Show of
Year Tuesday odd
Chuck Performs.

The weekly motor caravans of
fistic fans to Ft. Benjamin Harrison
start Tuesday night and will con-
tinue throughout the summer. Capt.
Howard Clark has his spacious out
door arena dolled up for the open
ing glove show and the advance
sale of tickets indicates a capacity
crowd will be on hand.
Military Supervision
TT. Harrison boxing shows have
become a big thing for Indianapolis
sport followers say, because of the
military supervision that assures
satisfaction and comfort and the
seat that a ticket calls for. Po-
litical influences ana gate crashers
get nowhere" on the army reser-
walton.
Captain Clark, matchmaker, has
arranged an attractive headliner
for Tuesdays card with Chuck Wig
gins, local war horse" opposing the
pride of Kentucky, Jimmy Byrne Of
greensboro. 1t is a scheduled ten
round affair.
Has Outpointed Chuck
Byrne, typical Blue Grass strong
man, outpointed Virgins in their
first meeting and held the Hoosier
to a draw in a second conflict and
beat Chuck to an important match
with Young Stribling Derby eve at
Louisville.
An interesting program of other
scraps has been arranged to pre-
cede the Wiggins-Byrne encounter,
first bout at $50. An infantry band
will keep the early arrivals in good
humor and also entertain between
bouts.
The Harrison arena has been en-
larged to take care of 1000 fans.
The military authorities again call
attention to the fact that the entire
net proceeds of each boxing show
are turned into the enlisted mems
athletic fund, out of which equip
ment is bought for the various foot
ball, baseball and basketball teams
at the Fort and for travelling ex-
penses of teams playing at the other
Army posts.

Perfect Setting for Feat

TOR an infielder to make such
II a play it is absolutely essen
4 tial that the hit-and-run
play be on and the batsman hit a
line drive few feet to the right or
left of bag.
If it SO happens that the short
stop is covering second and the ball
is hit to his side of the bag it places
him in a position to go through with
the play after making the catch.
Likewise with the second baseman
when the drive comes to his side of
the bag.
Such g play seems easier for the
shortstop since he is better lined up
to run down a man coming from
first base.
AS a rule, the perfect setting has
runners on first and second, no one
out, of course, and the hit-and-run
play called for. That makes it per-.
feet, once the fielder grabs the line
drive.

Freak Happenings

EAL BALL OF Cleveland made
IN his first unassisted triple play
L. in 1909 and eleven years
elapsed before another was made,
the one Of Bill Wambsganss in 1920.
The feat was performed twice in
1923-by Burns and Elmer Padgett
of the Braves. Shortstop Glenn
Wright turned the trick for the fifth
time, and now comes Cooney and
Neun.
Lloyd Waner with base hit and
Ba1nhart with pass set the stage
for Cooney when Paul Waner drove
liner through the box, looking like
a sure hit, that was grabbed by
Cooney.
1t so happened that Cooney had
one foot ON second just about the
time the ball struck his mitt. This
made two out. He ran up the line
to touch Barnhart out as the latter
charged from first.
Most triple plays are completed
so quickly and Unexpectedly that
the crowd hardly has a chance to
grasp what has actually happened
until it is all over.

How Burns Did Il

TT ETTING back to Burns I'M
IL usual play, I was umpiring
y the bases in that game and,
as I recall it, RUDE Lutzke was on
first and Riggs Stephenson, now
with the Cubs, on second.
Burns, not sure whether the batter
would bunt or hit-and-run, was
playing in fairly close and the batter
drove a terrific liner directly at
Burns on the hit-and-run play.
Lutzke, trying to get back to first,
slipped and was tagged out. Then
began a chase to beat Stephenson
to second. Both slid into the bag
but Burns won the decision.
Nouns play came with Wyatt on
second and Jamison on first and
Summa's liner on the hit-and-run.
Neither player had any chance to
evade Nouns efforts for triple
killing.

REED FAVORS CUT
NTAXLEW SOON
Pennsylvania Senator Sees
$780, 1000, 900 of Surplus
Applied as Reduction.

Inasmuch as the estimated Treasury
surplus for the fiscal year ending
June 80 will be $500. .000, 900, Senator
Reed of Pennsylvania. who was one
Of President Coolidge's callers yester-
day, said that he thought it would be
entirely safe to devote at least $780,
000, 900 of that amount to further tax
reduction.
The Pennsylvania Senator said that
revision of the tax law will come
before the next Congress and that
he anticipates considerable debate be-
fore final figures of reduction are
agreed upon. T1e personally believes
that the Federal estate tax as well as
the so-called nuisance taxes should be
completely abolished and that the fiat
corporation tax should be reduced
from 1914 per cent to 1914 per cent.
He does not think that 1t will be OF
any advantage to lower the auto
mobile tax, but he is convinced that
further attention should be given to
revision Of intermediate incomes.
He said that the question of further
reduction in surtaxes would be one OF
the debatable subjects Of the coming
tax.reduction fight.
Discussing the business conditions
of the country. Senator Reed said that
the United States at the present time
is enjoying an era of prof1tless pros
per:ty. He qualified this by explain.
ing while business is humming. every
body is at work and busy and the
volume of business holding up. there
are no noticeably large profits. This.
he stated, means that the benefits Of
low prices are now going to the
ultimate consumer. He added. how
ever, that the economic condition of
the country Is sound, and everything
indicates that the business generally
is in healthy state and will remain
so for some time to come.
