The Commodores will play their tirst 1 game at 9 o'clock Thursday night, with Holy Redeemer high scho-.l of Portsmouth. Ohio, as their opponents. | Coach Laurent and five players. Captain Petie Mylott. Gass, Coffee, Wemhoff and Kohne, went on the Erie train leaving Decatur at l'':37 o'clock this afternoon. The other four players, Gage, Miller. Rumsehl.tg mid Harris, went with France Center, in the latter's automobile, leav Ing here at 12.30 o'clock. The Deettui team will stop at the Edeewater P-a* '• hotel while in Chi cago. Coach Laurent and the play°rs expect' -1 'o arrive in time to see tonight's games in the tonrnam nt. ■'l-.rce games will be played tonight. Th- semi-fi'ials end final game of the ’ tournament will be played Sunday. The feitur- of three s*?.rt»rs brings together De LaSalle of Joliet, ill., and Camden Catholic school of Camden, N. J. De LaS.dk* has won the ch-.mpan-ship during the past two years and, has - three -cterans to form the I nucleus of ’.Lia year’s team. Camden I la iks with the best Catholic • earns j In the east. With a ren ttaiion of being a “tour ! lenient team' De LaSalle is cmccded a good chance to re'ain first place honors. Other entr'es looked upon ar fiverit°s were: Williamsport. Pa., Syracuse, N. Y.. t mon City, N. .'. from the east; Rapid City, S. D. and Omaha. Neb, from the west. St. Charles, Mint!, from the northwest; Charleston, S C. and Cay St. Lotii”, Aiiss., from the south. Little is known of the strength of the Ports moi’‘l: team, opponent of Decatur in th« first round. A recent piling of tie Ohio state Catholic . scholastic association prohibits mem | . h r teams from playing post-season i p..mes and. consequently. St. Nidblas high, of Zanesville, winner of the state Catholic tourney, has declined an invitation to play in the Chicago ■ tournament. St. Marys high school of Akron, Ohio, winner of the class P, state tournament, also has declin- j.

Life in the Old Game Yet ; t The suggestion made recently by! an author more familiar with animal life than prize fighting that the boxing | game was being killed by high prices j* and poor bouts is not justified by p the facts of the matter. I I Never has public interest in fist i-1 i cuffs been greater tha.ii at the mo- < nient, and this despite the fact that many of the exhibitions of the manly art are indeed mediocre, if not actual- i ly fromageotts. Take Friday night’s bout between Jimmy McLarnin and Ray Miller, for example. Madison Square Garden was sold out from ringside to rafters immediately after the announcemnt of . th engagement. These two are not quite top’notchers, but they can fill any arena that thas been built for in- < door bouts. Twice last week Madison Square ; Garden was virtually filled to capacity for the most ordinary sort of fisticuffs, while an amateur boxing show required reserves to handle the crowd. The fact of the matter is that more people now want to go to fights than ever before. The feminine attendance is many times what it was five years ago. People seem to have more money to spend on sports, and boxing gets its share. With the premise that fights these days are usually not worth the price of admission, no one can quarrel. They aren't worth much of anything in the way of spot cash money if one has had to work for the same. But the fight game is not being killed. It is growing stronger all the time, because there are three fight fans today—call them suckers if you must —where there was only one yes-

ed nn invltiition. Holy Redeemer high of Portsmouth played In the state Catholic tourney. J It is presumed that the school hast broken relations with the state Catholic association In order to play in the Chicago tourney. The Daily Democrat, has made arrangements to receive returns from the Decatur games in the national tourney at Chicago. The score and details will be telephoned to the Dally Democrat immediately after, the game. The score of the first half' will not be received. Coach Laurent said today that all ’ members of his squad were In good condition for the tourney. In thvlr practice sessions this week they have ' shown much pep and flashed great form, the layoff after the state tour-! ney appearing to have done them much good Several Decatur fans are planning | to go to the tourney tomorrow. H. S. WRESTLERS TO MEET AT 1.0. Blomington, Ind..

- terday. Braddock and Dempsey Before the bout at Madison Square Garden in which James J. Braddock stopped Jimmy Slattery, we were told that Jack Dempsey himself had tutored the still inexperienced Braddock especially for the affair. And so, while others watched the fight through the eyes of non-partisan expertness, we kept ours on the Jer-I sey boy, watching for a sign of the I Dempsey of old in Braddock's conduct ■ in the ring. • And sure enough, there were a i number of things to remind one of I Jack. First, there was a partial crouch, to which Braddock had not been addicted formerly. But most important of all, there was! a persistent forward march, a con- • stant, two-fisted attack. Jimmy Slat-, tery danced about like Gene Tunney j at his spryest. Braddock pressed on i relentlessly like Jack Dempsey, trying, trying, always trying to reach his man. Braddock’s honest Irish pan stopped many a stiff left hand, and he himself missed badly many times with both hands. But he kept going in, just as Dempsey would have gone in, until the moment came —just as it came when Jack pinned Gene to the ! ropes in the 7th round at Chicago—- ■ with Slattery's back against the ropes I and Braddock within range. Slam-bang went the Jersey boy with ' both hands, and he never stopped punching until Slattery wilted to the I canvas Braddock is a long way from being I a Dempsey, as yet, but he’s on the | right track.
