TIMER demands for a salary In
stead Of the net proceeds OF
the gate receipts refused, three
members of the Heurich Brew
ers' basket ball team have quit the
city's only major professional five.
Those whose petition for a regular
wage for each game Chris Heurich, jr.,
felt unable to meet and whose resig-
nations were formally accepted are:
Capt. Moon Evans, guard; Joe Croson,
center, and Bucky Buscher, forward.
Having inaugurated an extensive
sports program two years ago pri-
marily for brewery employees, the
young sponsor felt unjustified in ac-
ceding to the players request, noint-
ing out that the players had divided
the net profits of each game, gate re-
ceipts being turned over to them after
necessary expenses had been deducted.
Uniforms and balls have been fur
nished at the start of each season by
Heurich.
Bennie Chosen Leader.
A T A meeting of the five remaining
members of the squad last night.
Ralph Bennie, former Eastern High

nounced that three new members to
take the place of the resigning three
would be added. Those sticking with
the team, in addition to Bennie, are
Everett Russell, Bob Wilson, Roy
Yowell and Tiny" Ingham.
Whether any new faces will appear
in Heurich's lineup when it takes the
floor Sunday for a game with the
Pittsburgh Willigs depends upon me-
yotiations carried on with several star
independent players during the next
few days.
The WilligS are coming here in con-
tinuance of Heurich's policy which
has brought some of the best profess

40 cents has been charged for admis-

into the crowd. They wouldn't listen
to Referee Charles Dickerhoff's order
to get back in the ring. so he counted
10 over each of them. That made
the match draw.
Six policemen then went into action
