COMMO DORES TO SEEK REVENGE Considerable dope on the probable outcome of the state Catholic high school basketball tournament, to be held in Indianapolis next month, may be gleaned from the game between the Decatur Catholic high school Commodores, and the Anderson Catholic high quintet, to be played here Wednesday night, since both are considered by most critics as leading contenders for the state title. The Indianapolis Star, in doping out the Catholic championship for 1929, gives Indianapolis Cathedral, Washington. Jasper, Anderson and Decatur as the Big Five. The Commodores would place Central Catholic of Fort Wayne in the same group Anderson has a strong team thia season. The Madison county five defeated the Commodores at Anderson on January 1. by a score of 18-16. j Since that time, they have lost to Cathedral. 19-16, and dropped an overtime game to Fort Wayne by a single point margin. They defeated Washington Catholic, Gibault of Vincennes. Huntington and Richmond < atholic high. Before playing the Commodores, Anerson had won two games from Shelbyville Catholic. Anderson lias gained the title of dope buster. They gained surprise victories over Decatur and Shelbyville during the season last year and then upset the dope by beating Fort Wayne, probably the strongest Catholic team in the state last year, in the semi-finals of the state tourney. The Commodores will derive more pleasure out of beating Anderson. Wednesday night, that out of winning from their old rival. Fort Wayne Central Catholic. The locals will be out to avenge that defeat on January 1 in a manner that will leave no room for doubt. Tickets for the Anderson game are on sale at the Eats restaurant and at the Green Kettle. A good early sale has indicated that a large crowd will see the game. The contracts for the state Catholic tourney arrived hdfe yesterday. o — COLLEGE BASKETBALL Northwestern. 24; Michigan 23 Purdue. 45; Evansville 25. Illinois 35; Minnesota 32.

The Boil- : erinakers come to Northwestern and the kind of basketball the Wildcats, are playing will make trouble for any i team. Wisconsin meets Indiana, and barring the qnforseen, should win.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, FEBRV-ARY 12 1929_

Field Goals By Mark M. Upp ■ —— Anderson and Decatur renew basketball relations Wednesday night, when the Catholic high team of that c'ty meets the Commodores in this city. Anderson has long been a basketball hot bed. The Catholic high school of that city, having apparently passed through the beginning stage, is now represented by a strong basketball team The Commodores lost a game at Anderson on New Year's night, by a two-point margin, and Coach l-turent's boys are determined to avenge that loss tomorrow night, and how! The Kirkland Whippets deserve a lot of credit for their showing in the 'nvjtational independent, tourney at Wat ten last week. The Whippets made up of players from Kirkland itc wnshiip, waded through all opposition to the final game and there forced the strong Warren Rexalls to I tlie limit to win by a three-point margin. Two former college stars, Biz Miller, formerly of the University of Michigan and also a member of the Fort Wayne American League team at one time, and Lefty Durr, formerly a member of tlie ind'ana University quintet, played with Warren. Another independent tourney will lie held at Markle. Thursday. Friday and Saturday of this week. The Decatur G. E. team is entered. The electricians are scheduled to meet the Clear Creek Farm Bureau team in the first round at 9 o'clock Friday night. According to the Fort Wayne Jour-nal-Gazette this morning. Fitz Lyons, the big colored center on the Central high team, likely will be unable to play against the Yellow Jackets Friday night, due to an infection in one of his legs. If he doesn’t play and the Yellow Jackets win, my how the alibis will fly and little credit will be heaped upon the Jackets, no matter how well they play. Os course. Lyons may be in the lineup. We believe the Curtismen can beat Central with Lyons and all of the other colinred boys playing. Judging from the stories in the Fort Wayne papers, i Central's game with Decatur is being taken lightly. Maybe we have overrated the Yellow Jackets and Central l i has no reason to fear them. Anyway, j 'their playing Friday night will prove) who is wrong. — Tigers Come Through “Tlie Bluffton Tigers after dropping an unexpected game to Columbia City Friday night, came back Saturday I night to defeat Elwood in a fast congest staged here. The Tigers did not hit their full stride in either contest, but. they continue to show they have i plenty of power and that they can be I counted on to cause plenty of trouble.’’ —Bluffton Banner. Here's a tip for the Yellow Jackets when they play Bluffton. Don’t foul i Ralph Stevens, the Tiger center. In [the last six games. Stevens has pitched in eighteen free throws and missed not a one. Kirkland and Hartford will each , seek revenge when the two teams i play at Kirkland, Wednesday night. ■ Last spring, in the sectional tourney here. Kirkland eliminated Hartford, after the Gorillas had put the Decatur Y< How Jackets out of the running. Recently, the baby Gorillas took a (healthy swat at the young Kangaroos I in the first round of the second team tournament at Berne, and eliminated ihe Kirkland team, which was expecting to go as far as the final game, at least. Do you remember when Geneva defeated Decatur in the final game of the county tournament here, March 1, 1919, by a score of 43-5? The Geneva lineup was Striker, Juday, Messel. Love Whitman and Shoemaker. Tlie Decatur players were Meyers. Beery Keller. Thomas, Butler, Baltzell. Tyndall and Peterson. o —-—— Possibility Os Reviving McPherson Case Is Seen Los Angeles, Calif., Feb. 12. —(U.R) — The possibility that the Aime Semple McPherson kidnaping t case might be revived through the confession of Ben Getzoff, the “payroll man" of the Asa Keyes conspiracies, drew the scrutiny of of a special state assembly committee today. Members of the committee, engaged in examining Mrs. McPherson's act in paying $2,500 to Superior Judge Carlos Hardy during 1926, the year ol her asserted abduction, said if Mrs. McPherson was mentioned by Getzoff, the committee would go into matter. o Trotzky At Constantinople Constantinople, Feb. 12.— (U.R) — Leon Trotzky, former leader of the Russian Red army, arrived here toi day from Odessa.

ANNUAL T. P. A. BANQUET HELD ICONT.MVEL' FROM PARK O\E» the nation. She breaks on religious lines as does the nation. She divides politically as does the United States. She shudders at the same dreads, dances to the same tunes, sings the same songs as does the rest of America. Nay, more, because of her peculiar origin, she understands all sections of the union, so long as they are Ameiican. Consider, if you please, that in Indiana, met the stream of New England emigrants and the southern stream from North Carolina. Virginia and Kentucky. Thousands of Indiana families count in their ancestry men and women from both these streams. Puritan blood from Massachusetts here met and mingled with cavalier stock from Virginia. The Congregationalist from Connecticut here tempered his fanaticism with the more liberal thought of the Marylander, or forged it faster with the iron-bound fatalism of the North Carolina Presbyterian. Here, on the soil of our own state, met tlie slave holder and the abolitionist. Here flowered to the full Jacksonian democracy and black republicanism. We. of Indiana, in our own ancestry and our own traditions, know them all—all of our fellow Americans. Titty W‘> are the spiritual cross-roads, the psychological center of the nation. As Indiana thinks, so thinks the nation, no better, no worse, no wiser, no more foolish. "To this very fact, this common denominator of an ancestry which reaches out to every state of the old Union, to a posterity which has enriched eve.y one of the newer states, to this fact is due the triumphant success of the Hoosier in matter of public relations. He knows by his intuitions. which is only another name for inherited feelings, what people think, or believe, or feel, wherever he may chance to live at the moment. In CaliforniaSie talks and sells climate; in Florida, orang? groves and hotel sites; in Maine, playgrounds for the Nation, in New York, money and gold bricks; in Washington politics. His ear is attuned to the word of the moment which moves the emotions of his fellow man. A literary Digest poll of the Nation is a wholly unnecessary proceeding. An accurate count of Indiana alone, properly distributed by counties, will give a sufficient clear indication of national feeling at any time on any topic. Our Lake county brethren can speak for New York City and urban New England. Our rural counties south of the national road will reflect almost exactly the feelings of the solid south. Our great coin betl counties will tell the story of the entire middle west. Our ten largest cities will speak for industry and business; and those of us who are neither mill-workers nor farmers, not industrialists nor captains of big business. we are as our brethren all over this broad land.

“And so, my friends, let us not bow our heads in shame for Indiana. Some of us, a very small ti action of our people, have sinned grievously. Let the state which has sinned less cast the first stone. Indiana is sound at heart, sound as the nation itself. Indiana is shrewd of brain, shrewd with, mixture of New England Puritan and North Carolina Scotchman. Indiana is vigorous still with the first of youth yet alive in her veins. She will know how to deal with her sinners, and with het righteous. She can wash her own linen without the advice of slatterns less clean than herself. Rejoice, O Hoosiers, in the nobility of the great body of your brethren. They are the salt of the earth, understanding all men. leading all men, rejoicing the hearts of all men. Never believe the voice of calumny and reproach levelled against a whol people. Believe for the future, as you have believed tor all these years, that no better people live under the sun than the people of your own state. Believe that so long as men wish to be free, so long as they may desire to keep high the ancient ideals of the fathers, just so long will the men and women of Indiana be found in the front ranks of American citizenship. We shall not betray tbc trust given to us. We shall go on teaching, leading, learning as we have done these generations past, holding Indiana to her proud position as “fairest among ten thousand, altogether lovely." Following the program, the banquet tables were cleared and small tables were arranged for Bridge, many of the guests participating in the games.

VUL.GARIA KRATEFF “My health was fading fast when I found this wonderful medicine but seen it put me on the road to health and today, I am a well and happy man," said Mr. Vulgaria Krateff, 603 Crystal street, Kokomo, Indiana. “I suffered frightfully from indigestion and from the torments of backaches, dizzy spells, sleeplessness, I rheumatism, and neuritis. All these 1 ITs combined to tear down my strength and constitution. For three months I was about desiperate with pa'n, and was worried over iny failure to find relief in the medicines and treatments I tried. “At the very start of the Konjola treatment I knew that I had found the right medicine. My appetite returned and I can eat a real meal without suffering. The pains subsided, the kidneys and bowels were corrected and I could feel day by day new- strength and, returnftig. Three weeks ago I was a sick man, today I am better than in years and feel Ike a new person. No words can express my gratitude for Konjola.” Konjola is sold in Decatur, Ind., at Smith, Yager & Falk's drug store, and by all the best druggists throughout this entire section.
