Undaunted by the rumors that most of the leading heavies are tied up for New York fights, Jim says he’ll get enough of them to stage a tourna-| ment which will bring out a champ--ion. His first bout does not appear to lie an overly auspicious start. Neither cue looks like a possible heavyweight champion. o Braddock Knocks Out Jim Slattery In Ninth New York.

BERNE OBJECTS i TO OFFICIATING I c — p Berne. March 12—(Special)—Borne t basketball fans ate greatly dissatis- r fied over the officiating in the final t game of the high school regional has- ( ketball tournament, between Berne a and South Side of Fort Wayne, play- t ed at Fort Wayne Saturday night i Three Berne players were put out ofl, the game on personal fouls, two of | them in the first ten minutes of the | game. Following is an editorial which ap-1 peared in the Adams County Widness. published here, Monday, and which In- * dicates the sentiment of local fans; "The Berne high school basketball team won the sectional tournament at J Decatur, Saturday. March 2 and quali- <i fied to play Milford at the Regional at ( Fort Wayne. They defeated the Mil- v ford team in the second round of the $ tournament last Saturday afternoon < In the final game in the race to compete for state honors with Fort Wayne South Side they were defeated by sev- t en men. Officials Vandivier and Cran- j or were the star men on the Fort t Wayne line up. v "Things have to come to a pretty (] pass when two men in whose trust r there is placed a game, the prime pur- ( j pose of which is to teach and learn the value of fair play, throw a game. Few people here thought that the Berne a Bears would go to the state tournament at Indianapolis, although there s was considerable hope | "However the coach, all the. players v i and i>eople expected justice. This thee i e were denied by two rascals who should ' be forbidden ever to handle a game l " again. Boys and girls are worth too a much to have such dastardly men a- F round them. They are the quickest to sense fairness and such work sets a had example. < “We abhor the idea of provincial- v ■ ism in a newspaper and that is offer f an accusation brought against the i small town newspaper. There were j enough Fort Wayne, Decatur and e Bluffton people who felt and still feel the same as we, and hence we hope it saves thia from the stench of provin- j clalism. The whole thing was rotten g and the putrid work of Vandivier and s Cranor stunk so that people with any c sense of propriety left or hung their heads? with shame. . "The morning paper of Fort Wayne did little better and gave no credit g where credit was due and the station which is controlled by the other paper did as bad in the broadcasting of the games. Bluffton, Milford and Berne F were as nothing compared to F, ft *' Wayne. “All those who have followed the * Bears, and all those who know coach 1 H. S. Johnson, know that the mom- I hers of the squad are clean, play clean ' and are gentlemen to the core and are coached so. The local boys got along fine with the players of the Milford 1 school and the players of the Fort t Wayne South Side school. There was t no hitch there. , i “The Bears wanted to win and hund- f reds of loyal Berne Beat fans wanted ( to see them win Nearly all know that good 1 sing is as essential as good winning. Berne did not 1 se well. j Where there is no justice you find no , laws, nor order That is another bad | thing of having such mental cripples j ( as Vandivier and Cranor work a game. “The Berne- Bears are a real basket bal team and they had a real coach in j H. S Johnson. As a tribute to them , 1 and their hard work they will be , guests of the Berne Chamber of Com1 merce at a banquet on Monday even- ' ’ ing March 18.” o ' Students’ Revolt In Madrid Grows Serious Madrid, Mar. 12.—(U.K—A students’ i revolt in Madrid against the Spanish dictator, Primo de Rivera, assumed the proportions of violence today in many parts of the city. Outside of the dictator’s office in the Paseo de la Castellana, the fighting between the students and authorities became so violent that police fired Into the student rioters, critically wounding one j»d less seriously Inuring several others.
