Bu Times Special
URBANA, Iii, Jan. 4. - Con-
fronted by Purdue which invades the
Illinois floor Saturday; there was no
rest for the Illini basketball team
when it returned from it's long
journey to Seattle. Purdue is re-
garded by many as the strongest
team which the Illini will face. Illi-
noiS' series with Washington in the
opinion of Ruby proved a benefit as
it showed him the various abilities
of his players. The Illini lost the
opening game, 1884, won the second,
1924, and lost the third and de-
Gliding match, 26-32.
Probably the most impressive
showing was by Doug Mills, sopho-
more guard, who scored four baskets
in each of the last two games and
probably won the right to start
against Purdue.
One great worry as the Illini pre-
pare defense for Purdue, is how
to battle Stretch Murphy, the giant
Boilermaker center.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Stretcll your
memory back four or five years and
dream Of the money that would
have been required to get Ty Cobb,
Iris Speaker, Walter johnson, Eddie
Collins, Rogers Hornsby or George
Sisler!
Cobb was a priceless piece of De-
troit property; Speaker was a civic
asset of Cleveland; Johnson was the
sentimental heart of Washington:
Collins was the hope of the Chicago
WhitA Sox; Hornsby was bigger
than the st. Louis ball park, and
Sisler was mint in the same town.
Now where are they?
Cobb and Speaker are non grata
on the market. johnson is a man
ager in the minor leagues. Sisler
is in Washington for the price of an
ordinary rookie.
Only Hornsby and Collins are set
Ting pretty, but Collins seems to be
in the incest spot because at the
end of his playing days he seems set
for life.
Hornsby is still a great ball play
er commanding a fine salary. He
is being groomed for the manage
ment of the New York Giants when
John McGraw decides to retire.
At the end of the 1927 season,
when the Philadelphia Athletics
again had disappointed the aged
Connie Mack, it was taken for
granted that a number of changes
would be made in the Philadelphia
club.
Cobb, Wheat and Collins probably
will go, it was surmiSed.

TWmark made by Mack.

t1stic entertainment at the N. Penn

Every scrap on the card Tuesday
night was rattling good engage
ment with the exception of the two
endSs The ten-round top-go was
marred by too frequent claim of
fouls while the opening four-rounder
was more or less of clown event.
BY Three KnOckdOwns
Red Uhlan of Los Angeles,
knocked Jack (Chief) Elkhart of
Chicago to the canvas four times
and Elkhart knocked down Uhlan
once. Red won by three knock
downs. The alleged redskin was
down officially four times and unof-
f1cially about five times.
Red is a stiff left-handed body
puncher and Elkhart appeared un-
able to weather good hard jolt
to the bread-basket.
Jackie Reynolds of Muncie, came
back strong after being downed for
a nine-c by Tony Sanders of
Chicago in the first rounod Of the
eight-round semi windup. If any
shade were to be given it belonged
to Sanders.
Stout Is Beaten
Terry Lingo, Cincinnati, won by
a technical knockout from Howdy
Stout, indianapolis, in the second
round. Stout went down and arose
only to take a terrific shower of
punches. The towel ended the bout.
Jack Bentley, Cincinnati, jabbed,
hooked and slashed his way to
victory over Cecil Hurt of Indian
apolis in six rounds. Hurt was
down for a count of nine in the
third stanza.
Jackie White, Indianapolis, didn't
know much about anything once in
side of the ropes and the towel
ended his punishment in the third
round of the opener. Jimmy Neal,
Cincinnati, was the victorious OPP
ponent.

AGREED TO ASSIST

MYTH a bum knee, realized
Wv the risk was all the more
difficult. I happened to comment
on the fact to Bill Carrigan, who
was catching the game.
IF you care to have me, any
time you are in doubt, I will call
them for you" said Bill.
Knowing Bill Carrigan as I did
I knew he would call them as he
saw them, call 'em right. I told
him if I was in doubt I wouldn't
make ruling until I glanced in his
direction and got the sign. If the
ball was fair, he was to raise his
right hand.
Boston won the pennant that
year. In those days Detroit was
a strong rival. Late in the game,
the eighth inning, with Boston lead
ing 81, Detroit had runners on sec
end and third and two out. A base
hit would put the Tigers in the lead.
DECIDED AGAINST HIMSELF
TINE Detroit batsman hit a ball
l. down the line, which I believed
was just foul and intended to SO call
it. Then I remembered my agree
nlent with Carrigan. I glanced to-
ward the home plate. There he was
with his arm in the air, indicating
the ball was fair.
The hit scored two runs, just
enough to win the game. AS 7 called
it fair the Boston third sacker
rushed to me to protest. I simply
said:
II had to make long distance
guess. Ask Bill Carrigan, he knows
whether it is fair or foul" The play
ers did and Carrigan yelled back his
answer:
1.-THE ball was fair"
That one game might have cost

no incident that better typifies the

PLAY THAT TROUBLED

Ton instead of occupying cellar

Some ten years back the double
umpire system was in vogue in the
American League. 1t happened my
partner was i'll and was working
alone. I was suffering at the time
from an injured knee, otherwise
this episode of which 1 am about to
write would never have happened.
My injured knee made it difficult
for me to cover much ground. With
the bases empty I worked back of
the catcher but with men on the
bases I stationed myself behind the
pitcher.
. During the days in which UNI
pired alone, there was one play that
always troubled me, in fact, worried
all umpires in the days when a lone
official was in charge. have refer
ence to hard hit balls down the
first or third base line. From a po-
sition back of the pitcher it is phys
ically impossible to get over on the
play and judge with any degree Of
accuracy, balls hit over the bag.
