As result of their action, the Indians are without game for that time and they do not wish to have anv thing further to do with the Shamrocks unless a satisfactory cause is given tor the cancellation. "The Indians entered the St. Ed ward's hall last Tuesday evening with Teddy Culton and Shap Snyder and then the fun began.

"The Shamrocks stated that they would not clay the name if Culton nd Snyder started. Consequently. the Indians began the contest with chance for victory as they could not possibly overcome the lead which the Indians had obtained "At this stage of the game, the tribe placed an entire new team on the floor and used every man on the squad.

The game proved to be one of the best daved on the Milton court and wai viewed by a crowd of several hundred rooters. The first half was keenly from begininng to end but the Greyhounds came out on the short end of the score of 11-7 at the end of the period. In the second half Edwards substituted for Oates, who was removed from the game due to an in jured shoulder, but later returned to the court to rally the boys in the last few exciting minutes. The Greyhounds were trailing along with a four-point disadvantage but rallied with two fouls by Farrow, who substituted for Yowim, and a field goal by Runkle which tied the score. It was at this point that Williams broke throush for a goal and a foul, clinching the game the Greyhounds.

LEAGUE STANDING FROM MILTON KINS WOG 1 ROM IHiKS TRIES SUICIDE One of Greatest Fly-Hawks in the Game is Found in Hotel at Training Camp With Knife and Ra2or Slashes Covering Body By Harold Johnson SHREVEPORT, March 9 -Johnny' Mostil, one of baseball's greatest fly ball hawks, today lies at the point of death, following what is believed to have been an attempt at suicide in the White Sox camp at the Youree hotel here. There were five knife wounds in his left breast in the heart region, a razor slice in his neck, razor cuts in both legs and his left arm nearly severed when he -as found in the apartment of Fat Prunty late yesterday. There seems to be no argument Lut that Johnny tried to destroy himself. He arrived Monday morning from Chicago in company with Bill Barrett and his perpetual rooter, Prunty.

Johnny was disinclined to exert himself in the initial workout and confined his training to a few jogs about the outfield. xesteraay rained and there was no practice session. At 3:45 p. m. Johnny chat-ted gaily with the writer in the no' tel lobby.

He then retired to the room reserved for Prunty, who had gone to play cards with friends in a nearby apartment. Prunty later aid: "When I left room 382 Johnny was lying asleep in my bed I left the key in my door on the outside as I departed and was gene possibly two hours. About 5:30 I returned, i experienced difficulty In gaining admission to my apartment. The key had been removed from the outer side of the door whiclj had been locked inside. "I was compelled to summon a bell boy with a master key.

Finally we opened the door. I entered my room and changed a shirt and then started for the bath room. I had trouble in opening the door, however. Something jammed. A moment later I pools of blood on the tile floor of the bath room.

"Thrusting open tho door, I wis horrified to find Mostil lying on tho floor, blood gushing from a number of wounds. I ran screaming into the hall and finally attracted the attention of Manager Ray Schalk, Bill Barrett and "Willie Kamm." A nearl handled knife, which was found on the vlate glass rest in tho bath room, waa bloodstained to tho This instrument had been 1 driven five times In the heart region. A safety razor blade had been used for the purpose of slicing his neck on the right side, under the ear, also both his left and right legs, while his left band had almost been severed. Little time was lost in removing Johnny, who then seemed half dead, to the Schumpert sanitarium, where he was attended by the surgi cal experts and four nurses. Practically all hope for his recovery has been abandoned, although physicians say he has a fighting chance to live.

Mostil's desire along this line may have much to do with the verdict, it was said. Early today he experienced lucid intervals during which he recognized those a-round him. Once to Manager Rav Schalk he said: "Oh! Ray this is terrible." For twenty-six days prior to his arrival in Shreveport Mostil had been an inmate of Mercy hospital, Chicago, undergoing treatment for an infected jaw. When he reported he was feeling none too strong and he early preliminary work here was of a mild character. Johnny, however, appeared in good spirits when he retired to Prunty's apartment for a sleep.

"Under the circumstances, I would iikb id eee 4nan.y save some oi t0 put up Billy Alger Who Chased Steers All Over the State of Arizona Will Fight Sid Ter-ris at an Early Date Another western "wild cat" is a-bout to spring his stuff for the eastern fight fans.

This time it's one of the Arizona genius. He's Billy Alger, matched to meet Sid Terris at an early date in New York. Billy claims no relationship to the literary Horatio Alger, but he's a strenuous, outstanding example of the success of the "work and win" theory expounded by Horatio in his books dad used to love in his boyhood days. Westerners will bet their saddles that Billy will get over the clever Mr. Terris.

Easterners see the result the other way. But win or lose, the "Arizona Wildcat," also known as "The Raw Meater," is certain to ring up a bunch of recognition with that aggressiveness that has made him the west's busiest ringman, and kept him coming along when many another leather tosser would have hung up the mitts and returned to truck driving. Alger is rated a pleasing top-notcher in the west, taking on lightweights, junior welters, welterweights and even miduleweights. Also he's lining his poke with money to buy up ranch property in Arizona. But it was not until he established a world's record for fighting fifty fights in fifty consecutive weeks most of them over the ten-round distance that he got his recognition.

The World war lured Alger from punching cattle and running Mexican bandits off his father's Arizona range. He was under ege, but he got into the fighting sufficiently to pick; up a couple of wounds. Ani fighting still appealed to him, so he worked quite a ways up as a flyweight in the interallied tournaments. A few months at home tired Alger of singing to the cattle and acting as night wrangler in the open spaces, and he returned to boxinir. He battled in the southern states as a bantam, feather and lightweight.

Then he swung into California as a welterweight during the four-round days. But the four-round game was not Bill's. He's a slow sweater, and it is not until he's gone a-bout four rounds that he hits his pace. Promoters began to use him in smaller spots on their programs. With the coming of the ten-round game in 1925, his manager demanded full distance fights.

The San Francisco clubs wouldn't consider him. Then Billy started on his record-breaking string of fights. The state law provides a man can only fight a ten-round battle once a week; otherwise, Alger might have fought more. He'd scrap one night, rest the next two days, work two days in the gym and fight again fighting himself into shape a la Harry Greb. The smaller towns liked his style and aggressiveness, and he was kept as busy as the law would allow.

His stopping of Ruby Goldstein in five rounds caught the eye of eastern promoters. Then, when he won twice over Young Harry Wills, hard-hitting negro sensation, he was called back to meet Terris, and there seems plenty of other work there for him and plenty waiting when he gets back. He's a mixture of Irish, Scotch and Indian, the son of Tom Alger of Arizona, one of the last of the west's old two gun sheriffs. And he can ride and rope with the best of them. too.

Tab this "Wildcat." Win or lose, he's a strenuous gamester. TO ROLL MATCH AT SUNBURY TONIGHT The News representatives of the City Bowling league will roll match game with the Temple club at Sunbury this evening. ENTER 0, OF P.

Jamison Swarts, director of the carnival. Svvaits has already announced the acceptance of an invitation by Lord Burghley of Cambridge university to bring over a team. The English collegians will participate on both days. On the first day they will be entered in two relay events and on both days will participate in the special events. Lord Burghley kill defend his 400-meter hurdle tltte which he won in 1923.

The shuttle hurdle relay which aui cue liiab biill will have the Britons among the entrants. A recent letter from Burghley stated that the team would arrive in Philadelphia on April 25 and would conclude it3 training on Franklin Field. For the first time in many years the United States military academy will havs a team entered in one of the relay races. As yet the army authorities have not indicated in what race they will participate. Considerable interest has been aroused in the sprint championship series in which the best sprinters in America will participate.

were sent out to the cream of America's sprinters and to date Hank Russell, former Cornell star, and Jackson Scholz have accepted. Roland Locke, sensational Ne-braskan, who established several marks last season, has conditionally accepted an invitation. Locke, at the present time, is recuperating from a severe attack of tonsilitis. He will start active preparation for his outdoor campaign as soon as physicians pronounce his condition satisfactory. Should he reach his usual good form, Locke will run against the other contenders.

No word has been received from Charley Paddock, the sprint marvel of the coast, but friends in the east are of the opinion that he will welcome the opportunity to meet Russell, Locke and Scholr. With the carnival almost two months off, the entry list sets a new record. Last year 473 colleges and schools were listed for competition. This number should be surpassed by almost a hundred, judging by the prompt response to invitations. TUNNEY PLEASED DEMPSEY WILL RETURN TO THE RING SAN FRANCISCO, March 9 Gene Tunney, heavyweight cham pion, today expressed delight when informed of reports that Jack Dempsey, ex-champ, would return to the ring to figb any contender, if necessary, in order to secure a return battle for the title.

Tunney declared that he thought Dempsey was his most dangerous rival and that he would be glad to meet him, or anyone else, in a tith fight.

The entire Detroit team Is glad to have McManus as a fellow member because they figure he has beaten them single handed to the extent of five or six games every summer, by virtue of his clouting proclivities.

RISKO LOOKS IMPRESSIVE IN KAYOING HUFFMAN NEW YORK, March 9 The husky form of Johnny Risko, slugging Cleveland baker, loomed considerably larger on the heavyweight horizon today as a result of his knockout victory over Sailor Eddie Huffman of California in the eighth round of a sensational bout here last night. Forcing the battle throughout and flashing a powerful left, Risko put on the best exhibition he ever has shown in this city. Johnny floored Huffman three times and finally nut him away with a terrific left. Huffman got in a few blows on his own account In the early rounds, but could not stave off Risko relentless attack.
