TINE opening of the 1929 Big Ten
4 basketball race seems to be at
tracing quite a bit of attention.
Purdue has started in character
istic style and is right on top of the
conference heap along with Mich
gan. Indiana's inconsistent per-
formances are beginning to worry
supporters. There is that unde-
Unable something" missing at In
diana this year and it is going to
be mighty nard job trying to
figure it out. Wisconsin. according
to the experts" is going to develop
into real threat and Purdue may
have its hands full trying to stave
off the drive of the Badgers.

Local Baseball Franchise Up for Sale James Perry DISCLOSE
Big Investment, No Profit,
With Tribe, Says Owner
of Champs.
ADMITS GIVING OPTION
Nashville Offer Discussed;
Over $500, 900 Asked.
BY EDDIE ASH

Although there will be no letup
in his efforts to build Indianapolis
another championship baseball club,
Owner James Perry of the Indians
today admitted he had, placed the.
local franchise on the market and
indicated he would sell if given his
price of more than 100000"
The dapper Tribe boss made the
announcement after being quizzed
about some interesting Toronto base
ball convention aftermath in which
it developed he already had given
an option on the Hoosiers to a firm
of architects in Nashville, Tenn,
the architects figuring they could
interest Owner Rogers Caldwell of
the Nashville team in the purchase
of the Indianapolis franchise and
then get the business of building a
new park here.
Caldwell New in Game
However, the option, given while
Perry was attending the Toronto
pow-wow, news of which was dis
closed today, expired Jan. 4, Perry
stated. It's possible, of course, fur
ther efforts will be made to interest
Caldwell. who is wealthy and who
only recently purchased the Nash
vile club of the Southern Associa-
ton and the Canton club of the
Central League.
1t also is said there are grounds
to indicate the New York Yankees
are working with Caldwell in his
baseball enterprise.
While discussing his attitude on
the possible sale of the Indians,
owner Perry remarked that the
money he dropped in 1923 led him
to the conclusion he could better
himself in other enterprises with the
large sum of money he has invested
in baseball
1929 Outlook Good
IF I SELL" Perry said, It want
more than I paid for the franchise
to w. e. Smith, late in 1927, because
l have made costly improvements
and feel as though I deserve to get
some of my losses back now that !
have won a penilant and little
worlds series title. In the m 'rtime
club officials will go ahead with ex-
tensive plans for the 1929 race. We
have a splendid outlook, fine spring
training schedule and some more
player deals on the fire, Further
more I hardly expect any prospect
i've buyer will care to meet my
price.
IF the Nashville men don't come
through with another proposition to
buy, perhaps others will now that
they know the Indians are on the
market. I'm not worried over the
future and the loyal fans who sup
ported the Tribe champions last
year can rest assured I'll try to cap
ture another pennant if retain the

Manager Bruno Bethel came over
from his Ohio home for short
conference Tuesday, but returned
today. He said he might take the

1t was said of Tex Rickard by
many men in varied walks of life;
by cowboys and millionaires, prize
fighters and society men. But it re-

when she learned of his death, to
plumb the depth of the sincerity of
his extraordinary character by say

George was my pal"
The man who rode trail to for

west to the heights of showmansllip
and unparalleled success as a pro-
moter was christened George Lewis
Rickard. His nickname of TEX" by
which the world came to know him,
was given during his early man
hood.
Richards parents were pioneers
in Illinois. His father was a mill
wright ana the family migrated to
Kansas. George Lewis Rickard
was born Jan. 2. 1870, just outside
Kansas City in place called White

after Tex was born. posse entered
the neighborhood hunting for the
bandit and his brother, Frank. And
until death Stilled his naive, indo-
mintable spirit there was always a
right smart lot of excitement
where Rickard was around.
When Tex was years old, the
family moved to Texas and settled
in the state which later was to pro-
vide his nickname.

Anderson Meets Terry Next Week;
Legion Mitt Bill Goes Over Big
Eddie Shea Meets Eighth Wonder of the World in Jimmie
Borde, Human Punching Bag.

Eddie Anderson, the Wyoming
lightweight, who has appeared here
several times, will be one of the two
headline performers at the Armory
mitt show next Tuesday night
meeting Lew Terry of st. Louis, in
the ten-round main event..
Last nights fistic program was
one of the best, if not the best,
cards ever staged by the Legion and
it was all action from the opening
bell to the last gong. Every bout
brought together well matched
Scrappers, eager to fight.
Eddie Shea, the sensational Chi
cage featherweight, who meets
Andre Routis, French title holder,
for the crown at Chicago early in
March, bumped into the eighth Won
der of the world Tuesday night in
the ten-round feature go.
Eddie won all the way from
Jimmy Borde of France, but had a
terrific battle in every round
BOrde seemed immune TO poQy pun
ishment and continually kept COM
ing in for more. He laughed as
Shea pounded his body with hard
rights and lefts and furnished sew
eral bits of comedy, Borde is a
great CLUB fighter" and while not
a boxer, is good for action and
comedy. He kissed Shea at the end
of the bout and made big hit with
the large crowd.
Harry Fierro, Chicago, had a good
edge on Johnny Nasser of Terre
Haute in their eight-round semi
windup. Both are classy little ban
tamweights and Fierro had Nasser
"out on his feet" in the last canto.
