FLAG WINNERS BEING PICKED Nearly Every Team In Major Leagues (liven Chance For Pennant By Henry L. Farrell, (U. P. Staff Correspondent) New York, Mar. 16 —(United Press) —ln this open season for picking pennant winners, nearly every team in the major leagues is being given some kind of chance. Opinion, expert and otherwise, is divided on all clubs except the Philadelphia Phillies and the Boston Red Sox. They are unanimous choices for last place. Picking pennant winners when the training season is just half finished b a hazard for reputations and pocket books. With few exceptions, the pre dictions of the experts were miles of the target in 1926. Miller Huggins, manager of the Yankees, who never has been famed as an orator or a disciple of optimismisn't claiming another pennant. "The Athletics and the Senators are very good hall clubs and I don't know what my club will do this year," he said. There are others, however, picking ! the pennant for Huggins, best knowr of whom are Babe Ruth and Jack Hendricks, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, who in the same voice puts in a boost for himself. "The Yankees will win the American League pennant and we've got only Pittsburgh to beat to win in the National league," he said. Hendricks expressed the opinion hat the Giants weren't to be figured at a!! but many critics think the Giants can't miss. Rogers Hornsby, who managed the Cards into a world’s championshlj last year and who is now playing sec ond base for the Giants, picks his new club as a cinch. "The Cards are a one-year dub,” In said. Frank Frisch, who changed posi tions and clubs with Hornsby, is just as positive that the Cardinals will be In another world series. George Kelly, who was traded b} he Giants to thp Reds, figures the Cincinnati club is a sure thing and quoted the opinion of Heinie Groh to the same effect. Walter Johnson, veteran Washing ton pitcher, thinks the Senators will beat out the Athletics for the pennant and that Detroit will finish ahead of the Yankees. Ty Cobb said when he signed with Connie Mack that he did so because he wanted to join a dull that was idling to be in the world series. Youth, Four Days Without Food, Found In Church Balcony Huntington, Ind., March 16 Thomas McCrail age seventeen, of Toledt woke lip at Mt. Etna and heard swee music, but a gnawing in his stomach the result of four days without food told him he was not in heaven. Me Crail was in the balcony of the Metho dist church, where he had taken re fuge in the absence of the janitor. He had started to walk and catch rides home from Marion, where he went “broke”, but was exhausted when In got to Mt. Etna fifteen miles away. • Members of a Sunday school choir who went to the balcony for practice found McCrail so weak that he could not walk without assistance. A physician diagnosed his ailment as hunger and he was fed by members of the church and turned over to Carl Rtidicel, sheriff. Mrs. D. J, McCrail of Toledo, mother of the youth, telegraphed ’ that she was sending money for his fare home. McCrail told Rudicel that home would "look good.”

" ' > FIELD ( .yv COALS /*JB ' 4-Ji j Mark M. Cpi»— j, "It won't he long now," was a popular tune around Loyola University, Chicago, today, as thirty-two Catholic high school basketball teams prepay- | *d to make their supreme efforts to I win t,he national championship. , I The Commodores were on the . scene of action early, being the second team to arrive. There were 13 persons in the party. Evidently, Coach Conter and his crew are not superstitious. The Bellevue. Ohio, Gazette, in its - issue of last Saturday, w-as loud in i •ts praise of the Commdoros. Among ither things, the Gazette said: "Allow- i ing the 'other fellows' to gain a dangerous advantage is just one of the things the Indiana students don't do. i is is shown by their record of the < past three years, when they have met 1 hree defeats in 68 starts. That there's a reason' for the unusual 1 record which the Indiana school has i hung up in recent years was appar- 1 ent to close followers of the cage i game, immediately after last night's I ’ray got under way, the visitors showing themselves to be masters of 1 every department, with every man playing his assigned part every minute." Decatur business men and fans have raised a fund to send eight Decatur high school Yellow Jackets to the state tournament at Indianapolis Friday and Saturday. 1 his is just a small way of showing the Yellow Jackets and Coach Curtis how much their splendid showing and hard work, during the past season have been appreciated. The coach and boys did work mighty hard during tne season and they boosted Decatur’s standing in basketball circles of Indiana greatly. Seven of the eight players who are being sent to Indianapolis to see the cream of Indiana teams in action. will be back in school next fall, fighting for positions on the Yellow Jacket quintet. They ought to and undoubtedly will pick up some valuable pointers on the game this week-end. Here's hoping you have a big time, boys. Decatur high school received $151.55 as its share in the profits of the regional tournament at Fort Wayne last Saturday. This money will come n mighty handy in supporting athiet’cs this spring. The Auburn regional had a greater profit than the me at Fort Wayne. After expenses were paid there, each team received $191.01. The receipts at Fort Wayne were $2,038.40 while Auburn took in $2,383.60. W. F. Fox, Jr., in the Indianap olis News, yesterday announced the result of his guessing contest on the regional games. The guesses on the Fort Wayne regional were: Fort Wayne Central, 569; Decatur, 42; Columbia City, 25; and Rock Creek, 16.
