to 10. Manual lost to Martinsville, to 8, and Technical was put out by Mooresvllle, 17 to 9. The defeat of Technical by Moortsville yesterday afternoon was the big surprise of the tourney. Technical thought by many to have the strongest team In Indianapolis. Mooresvllle is a team which has sprung suddenly from nothing.

Using the famous Baltimore Oriole method of passing, and keeping the two guards and center away from their own basket as a decoy for the other team, these are features that win tor them. In Iusle and Mooresvllle has two excellent shooters. Is a senior and McCreary only a Junior, with a bright career ahead. Cook, who was with Shortridge last year, and the other two Mooresvllle men, make a quintet hard, to beat. Fast and Close.

The Shortridge Morgantown game last night was the fastest and closest in which any of the Indianapolis teams participated. Jn the last Ave minutes, the ttc ore stood 14 all, a double foul was called, but neither team could make the free throw. One minute later, however, Adams, a forward on the winning quintet, caged a long Meld goal from the corner of the floor, which gave his team the winning points. In the linal three minutes of play, Shortridge i puuru lu.criliri uui 1110 umc aim uuu forwards could not hit the basket. Hennessey was the star for Shortridge.

Incensed at what he terms bad matchmaking. Mayor C. Schrieber has declared that he Intends to take the boxing game Into his own hands.

also proposes to appoint a municipal matchmaker. The mayor's anger is the result of the poor showing of Jack Dillon, of Indianapolis, against Harry Greb, of Pittsburg, last Mondy night. Dillon for twelve rounds was a target for Greb's punches. The mayor says that In all probability he will do away with the present boxing commission of seven members whom he appointed two months ago. He declared the promoters were torcommercial In tbelr desires and apparently had little respect for the ST.trt.

Mayor Schrelber says If he takes over the game all proceeds will go to charity, except that to pay a matchmaker a reasonable salary. Saturday Morning Scores ANDERSO.V. New Paleatlne. Summltvllle, 19. Pendleton.

They call it Verdun and if that isn't enough to make a soldier in the army of Colonel Bogey drive them hard and far there's something wrong with American golf spirit. Verdun, on the Irvington course, includes a bunch of bad hazards that has as its chief obstacle a little stream that has" floated more golf balls than the Wabash has moonbeams.

The Irvingtonians are playing early golf with a vigor that i3 prophetic of a big summer there. The links have dried sufficiently to permit of some smart play and the old timers are boasting of cracking bogey on several occasions. TJAY HEADS FOR LAND WHERE CROCODILES LIVE A. A. PREXY DISCUSSES AFFAIRS OF LEAGUE KELLEY'S CONSERVATION PLAN.

CHICAGO, March 9. Far. from the madding loop is President Thomas J. Hlckey, of the American Association, speeding today. The A.

executive Is en route to sunny Florida, where for the next month or so he will forget all about war tax, schedules and otner baseball problems. Hlckey plans to return the latter part of April to meet his umpires and managers in an all Important session before the bobtailed bunting battle is inaugurated. This gathering will take place in Chicago, probably April 28. Before grabbing a Dixie bound train Hlckey had a lew good words to say about the 1918 Association schedule, as drafted by Messrs. Tom Chivlngton, Louisville and John Savage, Kansas City.

fJ 4 ihis schedule," Hlckey said, "is an ideal one In every way. Every club owner liked It at first glance, and even Joe Cantlllon, who was a member of another committee asked to frame a schedule, threw his compilation away in favor of the Chivington Savage production." Mileage Is Trimmed. Mileage is cut down to a minimum In the chart, but at that the average a club will be 9,000 As the cost a mile a club for railroad fare, sleepers, hotel, is $L23 this season, each team will spend around S1L250 In hauling its men from one town to another. Indications are that several Association clubs will follow Mike Kelley's plan of having the players live on the European plan while on tour. Kelley is strong for this scheme, for he figures that it is to a player's advantage to eat lightlv before the game and then partake of a heavy meal in the evening.

With a limited amount for food this course will appeal to the players traveling on the European plan. The tendency is. Kelley believes, for players to sleep late and. if in American plan Inns, to Indulge In a heavy breakfast and also play the luncheon bill rather heavily. "With their stomachs loaded as a result of this procedure, Kelley points out.

the men are not In shape, to play their best. Thi adoption of the European plan would be a proper move from the standpoint of economy and also right in line with wartime food conservation, so fans need not be surprised if when nwn tViev their home favorites vigorously playing the one arm or ti. a. iv. iuin.mwma thelr poon collation.

Tebeau Is Out. Prior to departing for the sunny scuth Hic6ey asked that the following statement from him be published to snort writers who are laboring under the delusion that George Tebeau Is financially Interested In the Kansas City club: "George Tebeau positively is not interested in any team In the American Association. George E. Muehlebach and bis associates took over all the Tebeau holdings In the Blues last November and since that time Mr. Tebeau has not been identified with the team.

It is true that he attended the recent meeting at Milwaukee nnd the gathering th.t which was held In Chicago, but In both Instances he was ptesent to Iook out ior ms own which were Involved In an rfu ment over games transferred from Milwaukee and Minneapolis to Kansas City These games could not be played because of the weather and when they were switched the question arose as to whether or not Mr. Tebeau was to be held responsible for the guarantee.

Tony Dalton and Kid Willard, In the bantam class, and Jack. Walls and Willie Fishback, welterweights, complete the card.

Four reasons for believing: firmly that he will whip Jess "Willard If he ever gets the aclflst heavyweight champion into a were given the United Press today by Fred Fulton, the most prominent of Wlllard's challengers. It is the most complete statement of Its kind over the signature of the Minnesota triant since he began shaking the skies with his challenges to Jess of the circus.

am twenty six years old, Willard is forty." Fulton declares in giving: his first reason. He evidently has forgotten that Willard places his age at a lower figure than this. "2. My record proves I am better boxer, also a better hitter. "3.

'Willard has had one no decls ion flsht since winning the title and none of Importance before. Barrlne his fight with Jack Johnson. Willard has showed nothing either before or after that bout. Champ Overweight. "4.

I have been fighting; twice a month for two years. Willard has had one fight i In three years, am in condition: Willard is seventy flvo pounds erweight and taking off that weight will weaken him. I will be at my best. In the last three months I have knocked out Tom McMahon and Gunboat Smith, both of whom defeated Willard. Willard couldn't do anything with Frank Moran In ten rounds.

I knocked him out In three. "I will bet of my own money that I will knock out WJllard Inside of twenty rounds if given the opportunity." There! It seems to be rather up to Champion Jess to come through with what is popularly known as a rejoinder. And the most popular rejoinder he could make would be his signature to a set of articles calling for himto engage Fulton In a box fight for the championship of the world. If Willlard doesn't believe the reasons Fulton has set fortn here, maybe he will get mad and attempt to show the country they're not true. Nothing could possibly strike the country as being a more acceptable way of showing off.
