VIEW BRIGHT
! FOR EVERY
TEAM
By GARRETT WATERS

by GAhhEIT WATERS
A grand finish in sports. That's
the aim at Central High School
these days as the basketball, base
ball and track seasons hold forth
In the offing.
Yes, sir. that thar's the aim of
the Mt. Pleasanters, taking in
the hopes and thoughts of the
coaches, athletes and student
body alike.
There is a special, not to men.
ton important reason for the
Mt. Pleasanters' new aim for a
grand finish in sports.
It is to make up for the diSaS-
trous beginning this school year
in athletics during the recent
football campaign. 1t was through
out this grid period that the Mt.
Pleasanters failed so miserably
after their hopes had been built
so high.
Plenty of Material
Their chances we're excellent
then for a good showing in sports
such as they are now. Therefore
their motto at the present time is
taken from the old adage IF at
first you don't succeed, try, try
again."
"We've got the material here
for good teams" says Jack Ray,
coach Of the baseball team, and
assistant to Burt COggins in the
Central athletic office "AII that
is needed is that important
spirit from the candidates out
for the various teams, and by
spirit 1 mean-staying eligible.
Failure to do so has been a han
dicap at Central more ways than
one in the last year or So"
The consensus of opinion from
all three of the coaches at Cen.
trial, namely, Coggins, Ray and
Foley Eyes, good old Bill Foley
is that things will go splendidly
If those athletically inclined CO.
operate and keep eligible for the
sports they try for. Otherwise.
Central might as we'll accustom it.
self to biting the dust day after
day, year after year. season after
season in the various branches of
sports played by the teams IN
their respective campaigns.
Outlook Favorable
A strong basketball team looms
for Coach Burt CoeginS as brief
first shot on sports prospects at
Central for the new year. Next,
q truly capable baseball nine is
Coach Rays thought, particularly
with many veterans back, while
better than ordinary track team
is held likely by Coach Bill Foley,
to complete the prospects in the
three major sports engaged in
by the high schools.
But the athletes, whether they
are basketball performers, base
ball men, or track artists, must
keep on their toes, hold on to
the excellent spirit now preem-
mate, and stay eligible, if things
will be successful at all. Here's
hoping that the 1882 sports pro-
gram, such as it has been mapped
out in spirit, will be halfway sue
cessful. if not completely so, be,
fore the end of another school
term rolls around.

ST TRIKE
MAY SIGN
BARNES
BY GINO SINH

Ray Barnes, Baltimore's great
special-event mapleshooter, who
recently added the United States
sweepstakes crown to his sizable
collection of baubles, may roll
with Howard Campbells Lucky
Strike team in the District
League, and may also shoot in
the Howard Campbell sweep
stakes, which opens Saturday at
the Lucky Strike.
Since Dutch" Weidman was
forced out of the Lucky Strike
lineup by appendicitis, toward
has been using a make-shift
team.
A few days ago Campbell met
Barnes, who seeing the names of
Ed Blakeney and Ray Won Dreele,
two Baltimore pin-smashers, in
the prospective entries for the
Campbell Sweepstakes, stated
that he would like to have been
in it, too.
Both Blakeney and Won Dreele
are eligible because they bowl
with two District League teams,
Blakeney being a member of the
league leading Temple, and Won
Dreele of Norman Schroth'S
Fountain Hams.
Gets An Idea
That wish of Barnes planted an
idea in the Sailors mind. He
needed a bowler, why not Barnes?
Should Campbell sign him
before Saturday night, the w. C.
D. A. may rule that he is eligible
to roll in the local classic.
Barnes would be officially
eligible to enter should he appear
in the Lucky Strike lineup to-
night, when Campbell's team
faces Convention Hall at the
Lucky Strike.
The lanky Baltimorean would
be an outstanding favorite to cop
the big money event of the Dis
trict should he be among the
starters.
Lose Appendix
Sickness and injuries have been
n erous among the bowling
stars this season. Besides Weld
man, Dutch" Newman and
Harry Aiken had to have their
appendix removed, and now Char
ley Clancy, Recreation League
roller suffered a similar loss.
Whip" Litchfield is also on the
sidelines with a wrenched back.
Evelyn Ream's 408 set, rolled
with Deals Service in the Ladies
District League, is a national
record. Her games were 1873, 1872
and 143. 1t tops Lorraine Gulli's
former record set, also a national
one, by three pins. The best
three game total achieved by New
England women is a 374 set, for
which two girls tied, Florence Le-
Barr. of Bridgeport, Conn, and
Marie Heenstreit, Hartford, Conn.
The remarkable set does not
come as a surprise to those who
have been following the career of
the pretty little brunette the past
three years. Evelyn has been do
ing work right along.
Recently she placed third in
the Star tournament with 343
and averaged 1O7 in the Meyer
Davis Sweepstakes. She won the
w. w. D. A. Class B all-events
with 951 total two years ago.
Ollie Pacini rolled 401 in the
National Capital League last
night, his first 400" in that
league this year, but Rinaldi
Tailors lost two to Judd & Det-
weller when Ollie's teammates
gave him no help. Ollie's games
were 145, 1913 and 1873.

HIKER SHOOTS
CITY MAN WHO
CAVE HIM RIDE
Russell Gardner, Wounded
Critically, Is Hurled From
Car by ASSaiIant.

A missing Purdue university STU |
dent was sought today as detectives
investigated the mysterious Shoot
ing early Thursday night of Russell
Gardner, so, of 1896 North Illinois
street, in robbery near Keystone
avenue and Seventy-firs street.
Gardner, in a critical condition
at city hospital from three bullet
wounds in the head and knife
wound in the neck, told detectives
he was attacked by hitch hiker.
His chances for recovery are
slight, physicians said.
The missing student is Howell
Blackburn, 20, of Oak Park, ILL.,,
who disappeared from the Purdue
campus about noon Thursday.
Suspected Youth Given Lift
A youth answering the descrip-
ton of the assailant was given a
lift" By two men in a small coupe
at Madison and Hanna avenues,
shortly before this morning,
George Baltzell, employee of the
state highway department, told de-
tectives.
The youth entered the coupe after
telling the occupants he was going
to Louisville" Baltzell said.
Report of Sheriff Fred Puckert at
Muncie that youth answering the
same description was brought to
Muncie from Indianapolis by a
motorist, also was being investi-
gated.
Theory was advanced by Melvin
Blackburn of Lafayette, brother of
the missing student, that Howell
may have been slugged and robbed
and his handbag taken by the same
man who robbed Gardner.
Found at Roadside
Gardner, O. former state highway
purchasing agent, was returning to
his home from the Purdue road
school, when he picked up hitch
hiker near Lafayette.
Three hours later Gardner was
found by deputy sheriffs lying at the
roadside.
Although in a semi conscious con-
dition, Gardner was able to give
fragments of the story to detectives.
He said his assailant, young
man carrying brown handbag with
Purdue pennant, drew a revolver
when they reached Indianapolis,
ordering Gardner to drive to Sew
enty-f1rst street
Gardeners pockets were looted of
SIS. but watch and diamond
stick pin were not taken
The assailant tossed Gardner to
the side of the road.
Later. detectives found the auto
mobile owned by Gardeners brother,
Everett Gardner of Monticello, at
Forty-second street and the Monon
crossing
Describes His AsSailant
Gardner described his assailant as
about %, five feet, nine inches tall,
wearing light grey overcoat and a
grey hat.
Howell Blackburn was described
as being five feet six inches tall,
weighing l60 pounds. He wore dark
trousers, black shoes and a dark
blue coat with light fur collar.
Blackburn had failed in his stud
les, had left the university, and was
going south, detectives were told.
Two automobiles bearing Purdue
students reached police headquar-
tiers early today to aid in the search.
Students said the description of
Gardeners aSSailant did not answer
that of the missing student.

administration to European allies
we're without sanction of law.
A development within the last
few days has contributed to ruffled
senatorial feelings. For more than
year a subcommittee of the bank
ing and currency committee, headed
by Glass and including Buckley, of
Ohio, as the other Democratic
member, has been working on
amendments to the banking laws.
Their proposed legislation was
completed and forwarded to the
treasury, as a courtesy, for criticisms
and suggestions.
A feature of the Glass bill was
the proposed depoSitors' relief plan
whereby liquidation corporation is
established to acquire assets of
closed banks, in order to pay de-
positors.
Before the committees bill had
been returned to the capitol, an adj
ministration bill had been intro
duced by Senator Thomas tRep.,
Idaho authorizing a $4,000, 900
depoSitors relief corporation and the
committee was being urged to give
it right-of-way.
Republican leader Watson heard
from the Democrats in a frank and
forceful manner and Watson hur-
ried to the White House. Senator
Glass was invited to the White
House, too, and he conferred with
the President for more than an
hour.
Peace conferences were held
Thursday and it was decided to let
