Chuck Virgins, local heavyweight,
who has boosted frequently The

Chief John MetoQuah.
1t has been taken for granted the
Hoosier battler would scrap any OPP
ponent picked for him, regardless of
size and prestige, but Promoter
Shine of the Progress A. C. has a
different story.
Shine signed Virgins to perform
in the main go at Tomlinson Hall
mkt Monday night, with Shine re-
serving the right to select an oppon-
ent. He suggested Metoquah, and
Virgins baked. but Shine insists it
will be the Indian if the Chiefs
manager agrees to terms.
Virgins lost to Metoquah at Fit
Harrison last summer, outpointed
the Indian at Tomlinson Hall later
and lost to the tall heavyweight in
Toledo not long ago.

CHARG S
r Nj Owe
Lands Clears Indians, but
Orders Sticking Back
New Park Denial.

The indianapolis baseball club
has some grievances to air. TO be-
gin with, the Indians were not
found guilty of trickery in the Eddie
Sticking deal despite the fact the
player has been ordered returned to
Indianapolis and the Tribe-New
York deal cancelled.
Judge Lands, high diamond com
missioner, cleared the Indians of re
sorting 10 skullduggery as charged
by Minneapolis. The judge said
indianapolis sent the papers on the
Sticking transaction through in the
regular way and could not be ac-
cused of knowing New York planned
TO shunt Sticking to Buffalo, the stu
alton that brought the yelp from
Minneapolis.
Local Club Innocent
In ordering Sticking returned to
the Tribe. Lands evidently felt In.
dianapolis was an innocent party to
waiver rule violation. If he had
thought the Indians guilty OF trick
cry, Sticking. no doubt, would have
been declared a free agent or
awarded by draw to one OF the three
A. A. clubs that claimed him, Min
neapolis. Milwaukee or Columbus.
Vice President Smith of the In
dams wants the public to know the
Tribe linen" is clean in the matter.
He says the indianapolis club has
been placed in n false light by the
Minneapolis allegations.
Keystone Site Too Far
Another grievance under the hide
Of Washington Park officials is the
IS. Keystone Ave. new park site. A"
Secretary Clauer said today the
Tribe officials will select their own
location for a new park and that
the Keystone Ave. project never was
put UP to them, and Furthermore
they are not interested in the land
in that distant territory.
TOO far away from the center of
Indianapolis population" Clauer
stated. in denying Tribe interest in
the keystone Ave. suggestion made
by outsiders.
Clauer said Owner Smith continues
to be in 4 mood TO build a new
plant elsewhere than on the present
W Washington location and has
several sites under consideration
but not on S. keystone Ave"
Still Need ShOrtstOp
Now that the Sticking deal with
