The added expense of chaperons for the many girls ( who have expressed a desire to emulate Margaret's experience has led to ( the ruling that the tournament will be limited to boys, said Robert W. Bushee of Ossian, Department Athletic OffiI cer of the Legion. The Indiana Legion Inpes to have 5,000 boys pitlying base- ' ball in the state this year. Margaret will go down in record as ' the only girl enrolled in the Legion national baseball series last year. She 1 made front page throughout the United ’ States by her dependable slugging and ' good sportsmanship. Her team started ' out without shoes or uniforms and : little promise. It ended as the champion team of the state and was only eliminated at Chicago in a sectional. Maigaret saved t.he day twice for the . Blanford Cubs. The first time they ■ were battling in a spectacular battle with the Clinton Junior Baptists, old time rivals. Margaret came to bat as a pinch hiter with the score tied seven to seven in the twelfth inning. The championship of Vermillion county and the right to play further in the tournament was at stake. Margaret rapped one out to left field and found a holo. She brought a player home fr m third and saved the day for the mining town . nine. At the state finals at Indianapolis, . Blanford Cubs turned out in uniforms loaned by tile Terre Haute Blue De- : vils, a team playing in the Legion Juni ior baseball tournament. They were badly outclassed in the early inhing of the game, t.he score at one time . standing six to nothing against them. . Margaret played a level headed, consisI taut game, and the team ended with . the state championship. Mafgaret displayed her usual good sportsmanship when she accepted in a . nonchalant manner the decision that i barred her from playing this year. Her . string of medals and citations for excellent playing under Legion auspices has grown. She is a junior in high i school and ambitious to make much out of her life. She will be one of the staunchest rooters for the Blanford cubs from t.he bleachers when they , cross bats in the Legion tournament i this year.

TWO-MAN RACE CARSTORETURN — New York. Jan. 11 They set the cal-1 endar back eight years in American ' racing recently by ordering two man j car back Into the picture at the annual 500-mlle races at Indianapolis. Effective In 1930 by order of the contest board of the American Automobile association, the old twin seated race, with lean power but with far more color, will replace the tiny machines that since H»22 have annually demolished speed records in the big brick saucer of the Indianapolis motor speedway. The decision brings victory to auto- ' mobile manufacturers most of whom 1 have been crowded from the motor rac- ■ ing limelight. The bulldeis, in the opinion of Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, 1 chairman of the A. A. A. contest : board, and president of the Indianapo- ' lis Motor Speedway, will deliver "in the near future” with two-man cars I capable of equaling if not bettering the dizzy marks of 120-miles an hour and : faster, established by the smaller racbrs One of the major benefits antlclpat- ■ ed under the move is an r’timate in-1 crease in the number of drivers qualified to compete in headline events. The main source of supply was eliminated with the advent of the smaller machines in that mechanics, many of whom were capable drivers under the old syster, in longer were available. ’ The change will mean an increase in 1 the size cf the engine from the present class of 91 Vi cubic inches piston dis1 placement to a maximum of 366 cubic inches, the equivalent of the European six liter class. Competing cars must weigh at least 1,750 pounds, must have two independently operating systems of brakes one system effective on all four wheels and must not be less than 31 inches across the base of the seat. o Dempsey Undecided About His Future Program New York. Jan. 11.— (U.R) —Jack Dempsey is still undecided about his future plans. He may fight —he may not fight. He may be offered Tex Rickard's job—he | may not. He may help ballyhoo the | Stribling-Sharkey fight scheduled for 1 February 27 at Miami Beach —he may J not. The only thing that Dempsey's formal statement has revealed is that he has no plans. “Until 1 know what demands will be made on my time and how much interest I have in the proposed activities in which 1 was to be interested BlA' Ydii may manage it " but— Will your boy go to college? Accidents and sickness often spoil plans. Life insurance protects the future : for your family. Do you carry enough—just in case anything serious happens? Phone, write or call. Suttles-Edwards Co.

with Tex Rickard and his associates at Miami Beach, I cannot come to a decision as to whether I will fight agnln." Dempsey announced Dempsey plans to return to Miami Beach and do anything he can to ! assist Mrs. Rickard and her 18 months I old daughter, Maxine. Dempsey said he w-ould be willing to remain at Miami Beach and help I the Madlsoh Square Garden people help remote the Stribling-Sharkey Ight if they desired his services. The fight, however, seems doomed and may go the way of the unsuccessful Stribllng-Tunney bout of a few years back. A meeting of the Madison Square Garden corporation's executive committee composed of Richard F. Hoyt, Matt Brush, Walter Camp, Sidney R. Kent and William F. Carey was scheduled today to determine the status of the proposed Miami Beach bout.
