TMSKWWL I c 1 . “* j (By Pete Reynolds) ’ ■ I Ml —— — 111 I Only’two more days and the I phoneswill be buzzing for news of I the Commodores. The locals will; play their first game in the state i tourney at 2 p. m. Friday, against l Reitz Memorial, of Evansville. —oOo — Evansville is the only team this season “that defeated St. Simon's of Washington. Reitz has established a fine record this year and will be. plenty tough for the Commodores. And then if the Commodores defeat Evansville, their next battle will probably be with this Washington team which has the outstanding record of any team entered in the state tourney. Washington plays Central Catholic of Hammond, Friday afternoon. —oOo— Fifty season tickets for the tourney have been received here and went on sale today at the Green Kettle and Joe Lose's restaurant. The tickets are priced at $1.50. Single session tickets are fifty cents for the first three sessions and seventy-five cents for the final game Saturday night. —oOo— We had some good news from the Yellow Jacket camp last night. All of the team members who have been under the weather with the I mumps and the flu have returned to school. They are not in the bestl of condition yet but barring accidents will all be in shape for the sectional next week. It is doubtful if Jake Hill, regular forward, will be able to play in the final game of the season Friday night against Kendallville but the others who have been out will

The i Kendallville Comets have turned in ! some fine games this season but i have not been exactly consistent. lAs an example, they defeated the : Bluffton Tigers in the Auburn l in- - vitational tourney by thirteen points , .pnd yet Bluffton beat Kendallville, i last week on the Comets’ home i i floor by eighteen points. —oOo — A victory Friday night will mean i the second consecutive year as l I champions for Decatur and also: I two consecutive undefeated seasons i in conference championship.

Results were announced only after they had passed to Thompsons offices through the hands of the police. Far into the morning hours Thompsonites made merry in the executive offices on the fifth floor of the city hall. A jazz band whooped up Big Bill’s campaign song. “Happy Days Are Here Again." Hundreds of well-wishers shoved ' to shake the mayor’s hand or pat j him on the back. Caterers carried; in trayload after trayload of food. | I Streamers fluttered In the cigar ' smoke. Big Bill talked so much I he was hoarse. Over the mayor’s desk hung a sign that indicated Thompson already was laying his plans for the I April election. It said in letters i a foot high: f "Chicago’s next mayor should hold only job.” “William Hale Thompson.” ft referred to Cermak, who is ; I president of the county board.. Another indication that ThompI son was moving immediately into I i the election battle was a fresh I campaign song, aimed at Cermak. It was set to the tune of “The Sidewalks of New York,” the rallying song of Al Smith in 1928. It ran: “Tony, Tony, where’s your push cart at? “Can you picture the world’s fair mayor, “With a name like that? “What a job you are holding, “Now you’re trying for two, “Better start thinking of one for me “Instead of two for you." Judge Lyle said he would issue no statement until he had conferr ed with his principal advisers. Albert went home early with the remark that “I'll issue a statement when all the returns are in.” » The voting yesterday was quiet. ■ Several instances of irregularity and, one kidnaping were reflbrted. Few arrests were made by the squads of police who cruised the 50 wards with riot guns at "ready." More than 70,000 watchers, police, election officials and private guards kept strict order in the populous wards where in the past city primaries have been marked by kidnapings, sluggings and murders.

It was understood the deal eventually would yield the Pulitzer estate $5,000,000. Attorney Max Steuer, representing Paul Block, publisher. sought to delay the hearing, claiming Ids offers for the Morning and Sunday client, who had made previous World, was prepared to offer $500,000 above the Scripps-Howard i contract figure. Herbert Pulitzer previously had advised the court of a $10,000,000 offer by Block which the latter aubsequently revised downward by two millions. Pulitzer said he was convince'! from his negotiations that Block had withdrawn as a prospective purchaser. The contract of sale provided for assumption of the name and good will of the World but not for purchase of its building or equipment. The hearing had been necessary l tecause stipulations in the Will of
