Dempsey to
Wind Up Tour

By United Press
DETROIT, March 31.-Winding
up his exhibition tour of the far
and midwestern states tonight,
Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight
champion, meets his 10th opponent
tonight in Babe Hunt, Oklahoma
cowboy.
The bout, announced as his last
before he actively becomes a con-
tender for the crown he lost to
Gene Tunney, will be four rounds
with ter-ounce gloves. Although
suffering with a cold, which has
persisted for several weeks, the
former champion hopes to knock
out Hunt. He has seventy-six
knockouts to his credit in his cur
rent tour.

The main squad of Hoosier pas
timers reached Indianapolis at mid
night Wednesday, and others driv-
ing north will report at diff
ferent times. Pid Purdy, the out
fielder obtained from Columbus in
the trade for pitcher Walter Miller,
is due to check in Friday.
Pitchers Need Work
Manager Emmett Mccain brought
well-conditioned squad up from
the Sunshine state and his chief
worry now is the weather. Some
of the pitchers have been slow in
rounding into form and Mccain
will give most of his attention re
next few days to building up the
endurance and control of the Tribe
hurlers.
Only two minor injuries were re-
ported as the team prepared to go
out for practice today. Johnny
Kroner, third sacker, received a
battered finger in the battle with
the yankees at st. Petersburg Mon
day and shortstop Jonah Goldman
is bothered by bad leg. However,
Al Ritter, trainer, expressed the
opinion both athletes would be all
set for heavy duty shortly.
Heving, Matthews Visit
Harry Matthews, coach, and Joe
Heving, righthanded pitcher, left
the train in Kentucky Wednesday
evening to visit their homes. They
were not sure of being on hand for
work this afternoon.
Heving reported late in training
camp and has not seen service in a
regular game. He says the brief
drills convinced him he will be in
form in short order if mild weather
prevails during the period before
the opening of the regular season.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 81
ID Fans along the American
League circuit are going to see one
real new star this year, of that I am
certain. After looking at Frank
Crosetti, fiashy young shortstop, for
the past four weeks I have no hesi-
tation in saying that here is a real
big Lacquer who will be a sure fire
success. Every season brings some
new players who make the grade
and begin to win the headlines in
their first year. I think Crosetti IS
a cinch for such honors.
That is high praise, know, about
a young ball player who never has
played q game in the big leagues.
So often It happens that young
ster flashes brilliantly at the train
ing camp and then falls back and
little more is heard of him until he
is returned to the minors. I have

ganized baseball, established two
years ago in the international
League when he smacked sixty
three, will be at first base for the
MillerS. He is left-handed hitter
and the short right field fence at
Minneapolis is made to order for
Joe's long drives. He also is ex-
pected TO find the range on some
of the other A. A barriers.
Bush hopes to have Jake Flowers,
the former Brooklyn and Cardinal
pastimer, at second, but Flowers has
asked for a transfer to the Interna-
tional League because his wife is
seriously i'll and he would like to
stay in the east. Eddie Sticking and
Norris are battling for the keystone
job.
DOME predicts a big year for Ernie
Smith, the hustling young shortStop
whom he gave a trial with the Chi
cago White SoX two years ago. Babe
Garzel, transferred from Louisville
to the MillerS, will be at the hot
corner for the Millers, with Charley
Dresser in reserve on the infeld.
Art Ruble is having a battle with
Joe Mawry, up from Nashville, for
the right-field berth, but Harry Rice
is playing in fine form and has
cinched the center-f1eld patrol and
Spencer Harris appears the left-f1eld

Brought in from the Coast League

Heath has been hitting the ball

two mates aboard gave the Reds a

Athletics here Wednesday. He drove

CHICAGO, March 31.-Several
radical changes in the basketball
rules will be considered at a meet
ing of the National Basketball As
ISOLATION here today, Friday and
Saturday.
One of the most radical changes
has been suggested by DR.. Walter
Meanwen of Wisconsin. He pro-
poses to make all free throws at the
end of each half and use the prin-
ciple of cancellation. That is. if
the teams are awarded the same
number of free throws during the
half, none would be allowed. If
team A is awarded six free throws
and team B four, team A would get
two throws and team B none.
Another suggested change is to
call held" ball when a player
holds the ball for five seconds in
his back court. A third recon-
mendation is to restrict the dribbIs
to one bounce in the back court.
The rules meeting will be held
Saturday. Today's activities we're
