To Be Broadcast Miami Bach, Fla., Feb. 25z—(U.R/ -The Jack Sharkey-Young Stribling fight will be broadcast. R oy w. Howard, chairman of the board of directors of the Scripps-Howard newspapers, who holds an exclusive contract for the broadcasting of all fights held under the auspices of the Madison Square Garden corporation, has arranged with William F. C arey and Jack Dempsey to put Wednesday night's bout on the air over the National Broadcasting chain. Previous to a conference between Howard, Carey and Dempsey, the promoters had determined that the bout would not be broadcast. By Frank Getty, UP Sports Editor. Miami Beach. Fla., Feb. 25.—<U.PJ — Jack Sharkey, the big Bostonian who twice before has started so auspiciously up the difficult road to fistic fame and fortune, only to meet with disappointment at the threshhold of his goal, is the logical favorite in this week's heavyweight battle beneath the palm trees. Sharkey should defeat young Stribling and go on once more towards the championship of the world. To do so, he must fight his best, however, and there have been so many occasions on which Jack has failed in this reBpect that risking a wager on him is hardly advisable. If the ambitious young Georgian who has the backing of the entire southland catches Sharkey in one of those indifferent moods which have mimed the Lithuanian's ring career, the outcome of the battle may be a surprise to most of the experts. But as far as one can judge a couple of days before the fight. Jack Sharkey shapes up as a bigger and better man than his opponent. The fighters have finished hard training, both concluding with stiff Workouts Sunday afternoon. From now on, they will coast along, each attempting to put on weight. Stribling will be spotting Sharkey an advantage of from eight to ten pounds, in any event. It will be a case of a good, cleancut, fast-stepping youngster battling an opponent who outclasses him in most of the things that matter in a Wit. The chances are that the fight will to the limit of ten rounds. Neither ®an Is easy to hit, and neither has a knockout punch except against an opponent who is standing still awaiting it. u kiltie Jerry Luvadis, known as Jerry the Greek", who has trained sit world's champions and who for seven years has been Jack Dempsey’s Blthfnl shadow, has been in daily attendance at both fight camps. He has Msisted the combatants in their »»kouts, and believes that the fight W( H end in a knockout. Jerry is not in a spot to say which W’r he believes will win, but he wuns that one solid punch will end ’be affair in short order.

City. Teachers Import Star For Big Game Hopes of Felix Maier's Decatur Merchants winning the annual basketball tilt between the above-mentioned merchants and the Decatur Faculty netters were given a severe blow this morning when It was announced that Walter Krick, manager of the Faculty team, had imported “Brick" Tyndall, former handsome History teacher of the local high school, who recently changed his name to Tyndaliski an I bought a clothing store in Bluffton, for tonight's game. In a long distance telephone cal) this morning, "Brick" stated that he would be on hand for tonight’s game, Felix Maier, manager of the Merchants made a secret trip to Fort Wayne this morning to consult Murray Mendenhal and it was learned later that Maier would make an effort to import some Fort Wayne players. Both teams are in the pink of condition. The Merchants worked out yesterday afternoon and the entire squad has quit smoking "anything but cigarettes, cigars and cubebs) until after the battle tonight. Lawrence Beal and Earl Blackburn, first cousins to Jesse James, will hitch their horses outside and officiate, it was announced Both oficials are graduates of Decatur high school so it's almost certain that they will not be prejudiced. There are still a few choice seats left and the doors will open at 7:15 o'clock. All lovers of fights, burglaries and murders are invited to attend the game.

KIRKLAND LOSES FINAL CONTEST Kirkland high school’s Kangaroo' ended their schedule Saturday night by losing a hard-fought game to the fast Lafayette Center team, of Allen county at Kirkland- The final score was 16-15. Each team displayed an airtight defense during the entire game. McClure Lafayette Center, pivot man, was the high point man of the game, with five field goals and two free throws to his credit. Meyers, Kirkland center, led his team in scoring, with three field goals. The game was fast and clean throughout. It was one of the best games ever played in the Kirkland gym. Kirkland had the better of the argument during the first half, the period ending with the Kangaroos leading, 11 to 5. However, the visittors rallied in the second half and with three minutes to go, were leading 16-15. Dettinger missed two free throws and Schlickman failed on one attempt during the last three minutes and the Kangaroos peppered the basket continually, but could not score the winning points. laifayette Center has scored 1,003 points in 20 games this season, averaging more than 50 points per game. They have been defeated only once, New’ Haven turning the trick. The Lafayette Center second team defeated the Kirkland seconds, 18-12.

Field Goals By Mark M. Upp ■ At last, tournament week has arrived. This is the week when troys with the will to win and the glory of their school at heart will follow training rules to the fetter—watch their eating go to bed early, avoid dates and do nothing to Injure their physical condition. Being hard-pressed for time Saturday ye columnist was prevented from commenting on the games last Friday night. The Yellow Jackets and Tigers had a real battle at Bluffton, despite the fact that the Jackets ran away" with the affair during the first half The Tigers worked a good game out of their systems and deserve considerable credit for their playing. The Meansmen have played only a few honest-to-goodness good games this season, and thb one Friday night was among them. The Curtismen plaved good, hall and appeared to have much the better of the argument when they were going at top speed, but they had some bad spots. “As you noticed. Means and Curtis each paid a couple visits to the officials bench last night to determine certain decisions. Well, with a game that close, there is no reason for them to sit theer like a couple of collar vertisements and let the rest of the world go by. There were many times that decisions are in doubt when one point would have made all the difference in the world’’—Out of Bounds, Bluffton Banner. Flip Offs, of the. Blufftpn News, made his usual remark about Coach Curtis visiting the official's bench, but failed to mention that Mr. Means I did likewise. As for us, we agree with Out of Bounds, if a coach isn’t interested enough in theg ame and won’t fight for his team on the sidelines, how can he expect the team to fight for him out there on the floor? _j The Commodores, having disposed of the Andrews Red Devils in nice fashion Friday night, will travel to Lima. Ohio, Tuesday night to end their schedule in a game with St- Rose high. The Lima game promises to be a tough battle, but Coach Laurent finally has his full strength back in the lineup and the Commies should be able to bring home the bacon.

A Rare Come-Back “Bluffton high school's victory over Decatur was one of the greatest, most spectacular and flashiest ones we have ever seen—one that put both the Blufftond and Decatur crowds into a frenzy. Confidentially, we felt that the Tigers had permitted the Yellow Jackets to score on them so heavily in the first frame so as to create over-con-fidence in their ranks. We knew that the Meansmen would make up for it in the subsequent half and finally win, but to the masses, uninformed as they were, it looked dead sure at the rest period that the Tigers had taken a balloon ride, or adopted some similar means of ascension. Then, the Tigers cracked their tails, gathered speed, got ' hot and laterally stole the bacon which by that time had been carried as far as Peterson. The Tigers and Coach Louie Means are deserving of the greatest praise for victory. It means something to overcome such a lead as Decatur had gained. At one stage in the first frame it was 14 to 3, favoring the Yellow Jackets. Bluffton fans were slumping in their seats that is those who were so fortunate as to have seats. When the half ended Decatur led 14 to 7 There seemed no hope.” —Rip Offs, Bluffton News “After casting the aspersion necessary for the Tiger fans who must have their meat, we have a feeling coming over us that we should give the Yellow Jackets at least a few picas of praise for the showing they made against Bluffton, which was of highest calibre. Decatur has a big, fast and clever teain—they are dangerous. We mean to cast no reflection whatsoever in remarks previously made to the ability of the Curtismen. Decatur is represented by a quintet of which any city should be righteously proud-”— More Rip Offs. “Andrews was defeated at Decatur last night by the Commodores of Decatur Catholic. This was probably the strongest competition the Red Devils met this year and their defeat was not surprising, although Andrews must not have been up to top form or the Huntington county team would have won Decatur has one of the best Catholic high school teams in the state and have defeated the greater majority of their opponents this year, which include some of the strongest of the parochial schools" — Huntington Herald. Indications are that fans will be offered some hot games in the sectional tourney here Friday night and Saturday. Starting on Friday night, the

Monroe llnitford game should Im> a close one, Fans well remember the upset provided by the Monmouth Eagles when they defeated Jefferson In the first round last year, so the Mon motith-Gepeva gauie will bear watching Two of the best games of the tournament likely will be played Saturday forenoon, when Kirkland meets Jefferson and Decatur plays Berne. These four teams have been entertaining high hopes of copping the tourney championship and the twj games should be closely contested- The semifinal games Saturday afternoon nould provide plenty of thrills und everybody likes to see the final game. The more funs that attend the games, the better the games will be, so everybody who can attend Is urged to buy a season ticket and root and toot for his favorite The game between the teachers and merchants in the D. H. 8. gym tonight promises to provide fun, excitement and maybe some basketball. Wed recommend It to anyone desiring an eVeniSK of entertainment of the light variety. Dr. Neptune, star forward on the Merchant’s team, is boasting that he will make a basket a minute tonight. It is expected that M. F. Worthman, right tackle on the teachers’ quintet, will make a foul a minute for the first four minutes. Extra! Extra! W. F, Fox. Jr., alias Shootin’ 'em and Stoppin’ 'em, of the Indianapolis News, is picking Technical of Indianapolis to win the state, championship. He's getting more technical all the time. Central and South Side of Fort Wayne, made splendid showings Saturday night in their games against Horace Mann, of Gary and Muncie, respectively, despite the fact that they lost. South Side led Muncie, 3631 with three minutes left to play, and Central held a 20-12 advantage over Horace Mann at one time in the second half. Some good basketball is being played in this section of the state, regardless of what our southern contemporaries say about it. A contributor wants to know: "Do you remember when Monroe defeated Berne by the score of 142-2? Many basketball fans and sport writers over the country doubted the possibility of Monroe or any other team's ability to run up this almost unbelievable score. I have always been ,a close follower of the game but I confess I have never seen such a game. The Monroe fellows missed but a very fewshots and they were shooting continually. In my mind this is the alltime'ali county team.” o HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL Horace Mann (Gary) 25; Central (Fort Wayne), 23 Muncie 36; South Side (Fort Wayne) 35.

Nowadays... you press a button OR PERHAPS a switch, or some little gadjet, and a lot of things happen around a home that lighten labor and banish trouble. A. WHIRLING fan brings a cooling breeze, and a little copper, dish-like affair throws out a sizzling blast that warms the room in no time. ANOTHER button boils coffee, toasts bread and cooks waffles. Another does a better job than, a broom. Another makes a happy laundress out of a dismal washwoman. Another one cools the ice-box. Another—but why go on? LABOR and time savings devices have come and are today within the reach of the humblest home. AND one of the chief reasons why they have come and why they are within the reach of the humblest home is the power of advertising. ADVERTISING has carried the news of these better ways of doing things to every home. It has created a desire to possess them, and countless thousands have purchased them, and live better because of them. READING advertising not only tells you about new, helpful mechanical devices for the home, but it is an unfailing guide to reliable products. Read advertising regularly. It points the way to better living. • Decatur Daily Democrat
