LIMA DEFEATS COMMODORES IN CLOSE DATTLE Decatur Rallies In Last Quarter, But Loses To Buckeyes, 30 To 24 A rally in the last quarter fell short and the Decatur Catholic high school Commodores dropped a closely contested and well played baskethall game to the St. Rose high school quintet, of Lima, Ohio, on the latter's door last night. 30-24. The Commodores outscored Lima, 8-2, in the final quarter, but a disastrous third quarter lost the game for Coach Laurent’s boys. The Commodores started strong and took a nice lead. They finished the first quarter ahead. 8-6. St. Rose rallied in the second quarter to grab a lead of 17-13 at the end of the half. St. Rose scored 11 points in the second half on five field goals and a free throw while holding the Commodores to one field goal and a free throw, giving Lima a lead of 28-16 at the end of the third quarter. In the final quarter, the Commodores opened up with a bombardment of the basket from long range. They sank three fielders, but several of their shots hit the low ceiling. Mylott, Wemhoff and Gass led the Decatur offense, those three players making all of Decatur's 24 points. Gass was high point man of the game with four field goals and four free throws for a total of 12 points. Lynch. Lima's star center, led his team in scoring witli eight points. He was the outstanding star of the Lima team. also. A large crowd of Decatur fans accompanied the Commodores to Lima for the game. The gymnasium was packed to capacity ami the fans re-’ ceived plenty of thrills. The Commodores will play the St. Paul Trojans, of Marion, here Thursday evening, in a benefit game, til*’ proceeds to be applied to the expense of sending the Commodores to the state tourney.

Jack t Sharkey should win this fight handily. A s The south never has bred a heavy- 1 weight champion, and the black eyed 1 youngster who has his most import- ’ ant chance tonight promises to give all he's got in his bid to take this 1 first big step upwards towards the * now vacant title. Jack Dempsey, whose amazing de- ' velopment in the role of promoter has made possible the successful culmin- ! ation of the last fistic venture of his pal, Tex Rickard, said this morning , that the last minute rush for tickets | had swept the gate receipts well up I past the $300,006 mark and that the |' proceeds of the affair might approach j $400,000. Fair weather is predicted for the bout. The main event will start at 10 o’clock. It will be broadcast by the Scripps-Howard newspapers on an N.B.C. hookup, including both red and blue networks. The fighters made final statements to the United Press today: Sharkey—"l’m in better shape for this fight than ever before and cant miss. If you’ll look back over some of the really good heavyweights I’ve fought and beaten you’ll figure for yourself that Stribling is not ip my class. I’m making no special promises about knocking him out. It all depends upon him giving me a fight, in which case I II stop him so quickly you’ll be surprised." Stribling—“l would rather let my work in the ring tonight do the talking for me. 1 have been trying to get Sharkey into the ring with me for a long time. Tonight I’ll show you why he has been so reluctant to meet me, why be refused to make the match until he practically was driven into it by an offer of $160,000, whereas I was willing to fight for nothing."

Field Goals Uy Mark M. UppBo sure to buy a season ticket for the tournament Theie's no reason why wo can’t have a real good tournament here this year. Monroe and Ilnutlird should give tlie lans forty cents worth of I thrills in their game Friday evening i and maybe Monmouth will pull a few tricks against Geneva during tlie same session. Then on Saturday morning, the old | gym ought to he packed when KirkI land plays Jefferson and Decatur tangi les with Borne. Those two games ought to furnish plenty of fun. And how about the semi-finals. They ought to be two hard-fought games, too. Everybody wants to see the final game, because there is always a kick to seeing a team win the sectional championship, no matter wnether tlie score is close all tlie way <or not. So let us all lake in the tourney and make it pay dividends to the eight schools taking part. They are deserving of some support. Tlie Commodores made a nice showing against St. Rose, at Lima, last night, even though they ilid lose. A team must be a good many points better than St- Rose to heat the Buckeyers in thei rown gym. It is small and the ceiling low. The Commodores and Coach Laurent should not feel badly over that game. The schedules of all Adams county teams are now ended. Os course, each wil play in the tournaments and the Commodores have a benefit game carded witli the St. Paul Trojans, of Marion, here Friday night, but only the memory of the schedules linger on. Just how much importance is to lie attached to each school, town or city in the state tournament now rests mainly with the individual players of each team Os course, the coach can give out a few more instructions this week and show the proper judgment in keying up the players and making substitutions during the tournament, but after all. it is wtiat the players have learned dining the season and their ability and detetinitiation to put that knowledge into practice that will tell the tale now. The coaches and fans have their eyes on the players. Coach Jimmy Anderson has disbanded the Ashland, Ky., high school quintet. which won the national championship in the tourney at Chicago last spring, because the players broke training rules He has announced that he wil build up a new team around Darrell Darby, forward, the only one who obeyed the rules. Hats off to Jimmy ! Chick Aeschliman, of Berne, is making arrangements for the third annual independent basketball tourna-

SUFFERER FINDS NEEDY REMEDY IN NEW KONJOLA All Else Had Failed To Relieve Stomach And Kidney Ills—ln Perfect Health Again -a MR. HENRY NELSON GREATOKEX "No wonder it is said that Konjola is the medicine with more than a million friends. I can readily believe it," said Mr. Henry Nelson Greatorex, R. R. No. 3, Lincoln Way East, South Bend, Indiana. “I suffered so long and terribly from my stomach and kidneys that I was about to throw up my hands and call my efforts to get relief a hopeless failure. After eating,, my stomach became sore, gas formed, and I spit up water and bile. My kidney condition caused intense pains across my back and I had to get up frequently at night. As a result I was tired out and exhausted every morning. “A neighbor was so insistant about my trying Konjola that 1 bought several bottles. Just three bottles of this medicine set my stomach right and corrected the kidney ailment. In three weeks I felt like a new person. What a pleasure it is to eat a hearty meal without suffering and sleep through the night, every night. I can not say too much for Konjola after what it did for me." Konjola is sold in Decatur, Indiana at Smith, Yager and Falk’s drug store and by all the best druggists throughout this entire section.
