Does Brooklyn Need Vance? And How ? ' r > J 1 v

Uncle Robbie Robinson, manager of the Brooklyn Robins, and Judge McKeever, half owner of the same outfit, went to the bat with the o.her half of the owners and got $25,000 salary for Dazzy Vance, alaive. who held out for that sweet piece of change for his yearly stipend. These two decided that there were a lot of good ball-throwers on the pitching btaff but n<M a real star pitcher in the lot. Dazzy got twenty grand last year and won nearly as many games as the rest of the staff put together. Brooklyn, old Brooklyn, where would you be without THE Vance? it

ERITOR'S NOTE:—The United Press presents herewith it's annual all-state high school basketball team, selected by Dick Miller. widely known basketball and football official. Miller’s team is looked upon as being the official mythical team. Indianapolis, Mar. 18. —(U.R) —With the state championship tucked safely in the arms of Frankfort for twelve months, the annual task of selecting an all-state beam arises. From a field of 754 teams, or 7.5(0 boys, lhe five best players in Indiana must be chosen. The selection this year, as in the past, was made with the utmost care and difficulty. Each of the men placed on the above three teams were studied intensely. Their records were gone into from the start, of the season. Although the seasons play, climaxed with the state tournament here, produced teams and players of outstanding ability, this year's basketball race failed to exhibit men the calibre of Secreist, of Muncie, and other great players of the past few years.

Because of the limited places or. a basketball team, some players, perhaps as good as t.he one's we chose were left out. Selecting 15 basketball players from a field as large as Indiana’s is a problem. Some boy’s believed by many to be worthy of a berth on one of the three teams perhaps were left out. Perhaps the most outstanding players of the enttire state tournament were Lowery of Technial. Indianapolis and Hadley of Frankfort. These two youths, the liaeklxmes of their teams in the tourney, played lyWe picked Kos, Horace Mann, Gary, as the center on the first mythical team. This big fellow, easily the class ot the pivot men, stood out noticeably in all the northern quintet's games. He consistently out jumped his opponents and had a good eye for the basket. For the forwards we selected Miller of Technical and W. Unroe Frankfort. These two youths, the scoring powers of their teams, were able to account for scores when scores were needed. Other good forwards failed badly when their teams needed counters. Davis of Technical, Eddy of Columbus and others wefe outstanding, but not quite the class of the two above. Selection of the guards was made with ex’reme difficulty. A host of good ones presenting themselves? during the play. After a careful study, we selected Lowery of Technical and Hadley of Frankfort. These hoys were outstanding throughout the tournament, and each was equipped with a good scoring eye. Hadley, a fine dribbler, was able to go in close for short shots, when the remainder of his team were closely guarded. Lowery also was a short shot artist. Cavanaugh of Horacß Mann, was a tower of strength to the northern team and was placed p n the second team. Several other players might Have been ranked better, had they seen more action in the state tourney. Although not placed on any of the three teams, Smith, Columbia City, forward; Lowell, Logansport and Diekey Fort Wayne, centers, and Babb, Kokomo, Suddith, Martinsville and Lindamood, Attica, all guards, deserved praise. ——— o Earliest Peace Pact The first alliance or league of peace and friendship of which we have any record was confirmed by mutual oath by Abraham and Abinielech (king of Gerar) at n well dug by Abraham—which bad been seized by Ablmelech's herdsmen. Hence lhe name of the well, Beersheba, “well of the oath.”
