FOSTER (Copyright 1925, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Jan. -—The Bos- | ton Red Sox should stand up to the | feed rack this coming season with lany of thelr contemporaries—pro- | vided Lee Fohl succeeds in making a fast first baseman out of Todt. | And Fohl has a chance of achieving that for Todt {s not bad by any means. A fast first baseman would speed the Sox Infleld up by 10 to 15 per- cent. Washington, on second base in 1924, while not hitting much, was covering as much ground as any sec- ond baseman in the cireult, with the possible exception of Collins, Lee, at shortstop, never had a chance to show half what he can do because of {Illness and the third base corner was plugged—not filled —and the plug kept dropping out all the time, This year, Prothro, who started with Washington in 1923 and was sent back to Memphis at his own request will start with Boston and Stay right where he is put until Fohl manages to get someone better. There is a little talk about Prothro that is worth reciting. Last spring down in Tampa, where the Washington team were training, the team appeared to be a much bet- ter ball team than Griffith had tak- en to that part of the United States before. The players were full of pep and snap and there was much debate as to what had come over them. Almost eyerybody came to the conclusion that !t was partly because of the optimistiq and self- confident smile with which Walter Johnson went about his work and partly because Prothro at thirl base was not letting much get by him and was smacking the ball when hits were 4. Prothro certainly fed the Washingtons with more con- fidence than they had possessed in a long time because, when Bluege could not play, the Washington in- field had felt uneasy. If he can produce the same sort of mental uplift at Boston, it will make a difference in the American STANDARD ASSOCIATION TO STAGE ANNIVERSARY PROGRAM NEXT FRIDAY An all star anniversary athletic program is to be presented by the Standard Ol] Athletic Association, next Friday evening, February 6, at eight o'clock, in the Induatrial Relation Bullding. ever given by the Association. will be presented for fans, and tick sales have indicated that attendance will be one-hundred per Four boxing events; two sack rushes, which are side splitters for the audience; two wrestling events that are worth more than three times themselves; and some comedy numbers. will compose a long talked of programme.

MANDELL-TERRIS GO FRIDAY NIGHT EXPECTED TO DECIDE LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE-HOLDER By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—Benny Leonard’s successor as the world’s lightweight champion may be decided in Madi- son Square Garden next Friday night when the leading contenders, Sammy Mandell, “Rockford Spike,” and Sid Terris, a product of the East Side, meet in a 12-round bout. The winner cannot claim the title because the New York boxing commission wants to stage an elimination series between 12 American and foreign boxers to crown a new champion. Boxing fans in general, however, will regard the winner of the con- test—If victory is scored by a good margin—as the best iNghtweight in the class, even if he cannot be de- ‘clared the titleholder. “They were the outstanding chal- lengers of Leonard and as far as I'm concerned I will accept the win- ner as the champion,” Tex Rickard said When Leonwrd announced that his mother made him retire. ‘The seat sale has been the largest since the Dempsey-Firpo fight. Ric- kard predicted that the house would be sold out before Tuesday night. Terris is a slight favorite in the betting. There is more sentiment the betting, however, than sound reasoning. The first meeting between the pair resulted !n a draw with opinion div- ided, some thinking Mandell had a shade and others favoring Terris. Terris {s a.fast boxer and has something of a punch, but he uses much of his footwork for clowning stunts and useless motions. Mandell hasn't the appearance of being fast, but his speed {s more effective. It te a hard match to figure. Man- dell may have four pounds on Terris when they go into the ring and tt will be a tremendous advantage to him in a bout where there is sure to be so muche pace, In event the contest should result in a draw or in a veryiclose decision it 1s probable that the commission will allow both to enter the proposed elimination tournament; if ono is badly beaten or knocked out—whtch is improbable—the loser probably will not be considered as a contend: er for the title. Terris {s tra’ ‘ng here now and Mandell is expected to arrive here Monday with his manager, Eddle Kane.

(Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Jan. 81.—Basket- ball fives of the state of Indiana, representing colleges not membere of the western conference, are now in the midst of their annual clean- up of Big Ten court teams. Indiana for years semed to have the iterary market cornered. Now the Hoosler commonwealth is gaining similar fame in the field of tap and bounce. i Hach year since the wa the car- nage has grown greater so that now the race in the Indiana conference has a more important aspect from the standpoint of championship rat- ing than the Big Ten race. Yet the standard of basketball! in the larg- er conference is really high grade. Take the team of Butler ‘college, Indlanapolis, which won the na- tonal A. A. VU, title at Kansas City last year, This winter the Butler outfit went to Iowa City and defeat- ed Towa, ‘26 to 22; in spite of trains delayed by snow, the team reached Madison next night and swamped Dr. Meanwell’s Wisconsin five, 22- 16.

Next week, Butler defeated Tiitnofs at. In- dianapolis and next night lost {ts first game of the season to Ohio e. ‘Then Wabash, in turn, nosed out Butler and at last accounts hati lost but one game, a one-point thriller, to “Wisconsin. Indiana State Nor- mal has beaten the powerful Unt- versity of Indjana five and Franklin college, defeated but once in three yeare, bas already beaten Purdue and Wisconsin, a team that is never weak. Notre Dame has beaten North- western. Vanderbilt came up out of the south and bowed ‘to Butler, Franklin, Wabash and Depatiw.’ In- diana has turned back Kentucky and Mercer, fn 1921, has had no luck tn the Hosier state. What its behind it ali? In trying to answer this, the Franklin college five might be sub- jected to analy The men who comprise this five today were all members of the same Sunday school class in Franklin as boys. Their teacher was Ernest Wagner. As basketball has long been Hoosier- dom’s favorite indoor sport—it an- nually outshines the radio, the klan, writing novels and talking politice— this Sunday school class organized a little basketball team. Wagner help- ed thém, When the boys went Into the high school, he was still with them, They won three Indiana high school championships {n succession, an in- e, a team famous for | d tho Milwaukee Irish. Rather an | terscholastic record !n ‘the state. When they entered Franklin college, Wagner was prevailed upon to stay with them as athletic director and basketball coach at the Baptist col- lege. In three years college play they have lost but one game. Primarily, Indiana colleges seem to benefit from an annual supply of seasoned prep school material. In no high schools {n the country are there shown such clever change of Dace from short passes to long passes, from set-up shots to long range bulls eyes and four or five- men defense of caliber so high. Preparatory school athletics in Ir- diana are controlled by the Indiana high school athletic association, an organization of high school prin- clpals, governed by a board of con- trol elected annually at the conven- tion of high school principals. It has jurisdiction over all sports but its strong sult {s basketball SCHEDULE OF CAGE LEAGUE NEARS CLOSE The last two doubleheaders in the regular season of the Casper Bas, ketball league will be played this Tuesday and Wednesday, following which the three high teams will play off for the championship.

DETROIT, Mich., Jan. $1.—(Unit- ed Prers}—Tom Gibbons {s ready to meet any contender to his claim on the world’s heavyweight title, Eddie Kane, Gibbons’ manager, said to- night. “We claim the title, since reports of Dempsey's retirement,” sald Kane. “In my mind there !s no ques- tion about Dempsey’s ever fighting again—he won't. If he wants to we are ready to meet him any time, any place.” “Any talk of better claimants to the heavyweight title can ho settled best in the ring,” Kane sald. “We are willing to take on Wills or God- frey at any time. In fact, we have been unable to get a match with Wills. We've tried our best, ‘There won't be any “black smudge’ on the horizon as long as we can get fights.

BY FAIR PLAY (Copyright 1925, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—There ts talk going around that Eddie Can- nonball Martin fs not destined to hold onto his bantamweight title very long. When he won the title he pulled a suprise that caught a lot of betters and others unawares. It was not on the cards that he should win and yet, as the battle turned out, the judges could have handed in any decision other than they did without being so raw that the long suffering fight \ patrons would have started something. It would be Interesting to see what happens when Martin defends his title against Charley “Phil” Rosenberg, the Harlem bantam, The two have ybeen matched to meet in the gardeh on March 20, over the 15-round. In the meantime the fans will get a Ine on Rosenberg when he goes against Pete Zivic of Pittsburgh in the Commonwea: c. in New York on Februs Mickey Walker says thet he will start for the Pacific coast on Feb- ruary 6, which, seeing he has been training and keeping himself in good condition will, he thinks, give him plenty of time to finish up for the battle with Bert Colima, the California middleweight, at Doyle's club {n Los Angeles on February 16. Jack Delaney, speaking of Colima, thinks the coast boy has it in him to give Walker something more than a good*workout. Walker, by the way, says he has a $20,000 guarantee from Doyle for this battle. Pal Moran is going to meet Std, Barbarian and Charley O'Connell next month and if he makes good, he will be a prominent contender in the lightweight tourney the New York boxing commission is going to hold. | | a | CAGE SCORES At Annapolis—Navy, 39; State, 37, At New York—Fordham, 23; Holy Cross, 16, At Durham—Massachusetts gies, 26; New Hampshire, 22.
