Close Fight for
Regular Births
on /. U. Quintet

BIZ Times Special
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Dec. L.
The closest fight in the history of
Indiana University basketball is be-
ing staged for positions in the start
ing lineup against Franklin here
Saturday night. Although Beckner,
Muncie, forward; Correll, Blooming
ton, guard and Wells, La Porte,
guard; are standbys from last years
team they are having a difficult
time holding on to any regular
place.
Beckner's job Is being contested
for by a band of young sophomores
who are of untried material. Rein
hardt, Racine, Wis; Cooper, North
Vernon; Replogle, Muncie; Starr,
Anderson, and Springer, TT. Wayne,
all have a chance of getting in the
starting aggregation.
McCracken, Monrovia; Leonard,
Rochester, and Farmer, Blooming
ton, are the outstanding candidates
for center. Gill, former Washington
High School back guard, is making
a fight for a guard position. Scheid,
Vincennes; Strickland, Owensville,
and Benzel, Bedford, are others who
have been displaying more than us
ual ability in daily practice.

Class A Diamond FASTENERS
Scarce; All in Big
Show
PERRY TO NEW YORK
Indian Owner May Go to
Major Meeting.
BY EDDIE ASH
Times Sports Editor

DALLAS, Texas, Dec. T.
With the big stove league
roundup approaching the
fever heat stage, officials of the
indianapolis club were "stand-
ing by today awaiting definite
answers to player deals they
have set in motion with only a
faint hope of success.
Ball players of class in the minors
are not for sale, and there is rea-
son to believe Owner Perry of the
Indians will have to go to the ma
jor league sessions in New York
next week in order to obtain quail
fed talent to bolster his diamond
outfit.
Not enough big league clubs are
represented at the Dallas conven-
ton to give the Class A clubs the
proper opportunity to trade or pur-
chase. Many players in the lower
league classes are available, but
they don't merit costly tryouts in
the American Association, the cream
Of the bush leagues.
Wonders Of 1927 were gobbled I'D
by National and American League
clubs the past fall. Secretary
Clauer found some time today to
give to the Indians spring training
exhibition schedule and he was able
to announce few Florida dates.
Indianapolis will meet the Cincy
Reds at Orlando and again in two
contests at Indianapolis after the
Tribesmen return North. Buffalo
OF the International League, 1927
champions, will be met in two games
at Plant City, Tribe training camp,
and in two tits at Palmetto, spring
home of the Bisons.
Clauer aims to arrange four more
games in Plant City and three more
in indianapolis before the curtain
goes up on the next American AS
ISOLATION championship campaign.
And, if possible, he will add more
Florida contests to be played else
where than in Plant City.

Grace Here for
Scrap With Joe

Meyer Grace, brilliant Chicago
welterweight arrived in the city
Tuesday night. He was to work out
at the Arcade Gym at 2 o'clock this
afternoon in preparation of his
battle with Joe Dundee. welter-
weight champion, in a ten-round
battle at Tomlinson Hall, Friday
night.
The stocky Jewish pug appeared
to be in first-class condition and
announced he would do everything
in his power in an effort to carry off
a newspaper decision over the
Fastener.
Dundee will arrive here Thurs
day and will taper of in the same
gymnasium, running through his
PAGES after his Friday night foe has
worked out.

DALLAS, Texas, Dec. 1.-THE
Indians were knocked out Of
some spring dates when the Cleve-

their Lakeland, Florida, training
camp in preference to New Orleans.
There was a sudden pickup in

Gabby at one time formed the

GOSSIP OVER TRADE

ID EGARDLESS OF who was wrong
- or right in the now much dis
cussed Cuyler episode. I do know
that Bush during his long years of
service in the American League al
ways was a square shooter.
1t certainly required the courage
OF ones convictions to take the
stand Bush did in benching Cuyler.
Once more Bush has invited crit
icism by trading Cuyler to the Chi
+ cago Cubs for Second Baseman
Adams and Outfielder Scott. Adams
is an established player, a very ca
pable performer; while SCOTS true
worth is yet to be determined.
Since the closing of the deal I
have been asked a great many
times as to who got the better of
the transaction. Baseball trades
are more or less of a gamble. often
later featuring a decided reversal
of form.
Lloyd Waner last season proved
he could acceptably fill Cuyler's po-
sition, while it was an admitted
fact the Pirates were weak at sec
ond. Regardless of Cuyler's ability,
he was Of no use to Pittsburgh.
Therefore if Bush has plugged the
weak hole at second through the
passing of player who was mere
ly a bench warmer for him, he has
helped his club.
y q
Cuyler will now have an oppor-
tunity to prove whether he is an
outstanding star or just an Ordi-
nary performer.

interests of discipline he was forced
to bench a popular favorite, "Kiki"
Cuyler, which took the edge off his
victory.
When Bush first benched Cuyler
he burned his bridges behind him.
He must win the pennant to es-
cape the wall of the angry mob.
When he failed to use Cuyler in

MEAT MARKET MANAGER
 AND FAMILY OUTBOUND

One of Stewards largest families is moving away today, that of c. D. Blake, manager off the local Frye Bruhn meat market for the last year. Mrs. Blake's health has not been of the best since her residency here and it is thought a change might bene- fit her therefore they arrived at their decision to return to the States
 The business career of MT. Blake, since he took over the local estab- lishment might well be called phen- omenal for it is said he has increas- ed sales to at least six times what it was prior to his arrival. It is also reported that due to the remarkab ble ability he has demonstrated locally the company has something good for him in Seattle, in line of promotion
 It has been his pleasure during the past week to have been given the opportunity of having introduced the trade to his successor, s. W. Dunkel, who arrived week ago from Taco. ma Mr. Blake is confident that Ml he made.
 MT. Blake is, not forgetting seward but wants to keep in touca with con- ditions here and in the Te' ;'i,cTy and to that end has subscribed: to the Gateway for a year.
