DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1932.

THREE SCRAPS ARE ARRANGED New York, Feb. JO.—(U-B James J. Johnston, chief dispatcher at tlie K. w O. terminal. Madison Square Garden, has arranged for throe capable "hrukles" to try to flag Billy Petrolle. the Fargo express. James Joy announced with considerable jubillatlou that Bal Bat talino. Jackie Fields and Tony Can ■ zoned would have to red ttag at the express in March, April and May. respectively. Johnston closed last night with Jack Hurley. Petrolia's manager, for the three 15-round I bouts, two of which will be title lafiairs. , The smashing welter from North Dakota will meet Battalino, former featherweight champion in midMarch. Fields will gamble his welterweight title against Petrolle sometime in April, and Canzoneri will risk his lightweight crown against Billy styne night in May. Battalino recently was deprived of his crown by the National Boxing Association because of a questionable showing against Fredrick Miller at Cincinnati in an advertised "title" bout. Fields recently staged a remarkable "come-back" when he regained his title from Lou Brouillard of Boston. Tlie New York state athletic com mission lias formally reinstated Max Schmeling, worlds heavyweight champion, and liis two managers. Joe Jacobs and Billy McCarney. They were suspended in Septe e'er, 1930. for refusing to grant Jack Sharkey a return title bout. Recently Schmeling agreed to meet Sharkey for tlie title in June. Schmeling's reinstatement carried with it automatic recognition of his championship. The action was taken at yesterday's weekly commission meeting. o Weßawl Poor old Buck, who writes “fill ers" for the fsiTburb newspaper has finally gone hay wire. We've been worried for some time, fearing a padded cell for our good friend in his declining years Here's his latest evidence: Yeow! "It took Dick Heller three days to recover from the shock his Yellow Jackets accidentally defeating the Bluffton Tigers by a two-point margin. After coming out of his trance and rubbing his eyes to make sure the score had not been changed during the time he was completely 'out', he opines that Decatur has not defeated Bluffton twice this season without trouble' and does qipt expect to hear any more from them even in the regional. "Os course Dick won't hear any more about the Tigers or anyone else in regional play. His Yellow Jackets will never get that far! But one thing is certain, just as it was last year if Bluffton and Decatur nmet in the regional — the answer will be the same. The best basketball team of the two. Bluffton, will win by a nice margin." —-000- — We also understand that Buck has appealed to "congress for a recount on population since Decatur has gone around the Pari lor Oity. —oOo - Hoi>e springs eternal in the human breast and still there are some who think that Bluffton can get all the breaks of a game ami beat Decatur Don't forget. Mr. Buckner, that to guard against any comment concerning our gymnasium that you might advance in case of a 20-point victory, the Curtismeu did go easy on the Tigers last Friday—And the Yellow Jackets would like to feel that only the Bluffton team was between us and the state tourney. —oOo Buck did have a great news item in his column about a certain Suburb gentleman who had ordered a set of false teeth and was compelled to send them back to the mail order house because they had sent him a female set and—he talked too much. ■j -of >0- — a We'd Hite in; *y be t,ie mail order house had made them especially for Mr. Buckner, liimaelf. to use after such tragedies as the Friday night basketball game. —oOo — The Commodores go to Berne Frjdaf night -the starting squad is much undetermined because of !saute trouble a couple of the hoys are having with lessons. —oOo— BUT ANYWAY—The Commodores win or lose will give the Beai» a real chase——oOo~■ The Yellow Jackets GO TO Peru |

I Friday night for n game with the Miami county netmnn. The ("urtls-l .men will be the underdogs in the game, but usually that's when a real basketball team plays basket-1 ball. —oOi>— Feazel, who has been suffering with a cold for ten days, is reported to be about ready to play. ofh. Plumping has started iu tlie oi' town — ami spring can't be far away. Tm Commodore Reserves will play Pleasant Mills regulars tonight —Tlie schedule is timely as seveiul of the Commodore Seconds might find themselves in the places 1 of legulars next Friday night. 000 Th? Fort Wayne sectional will be a real tournament this year. Os course South Sida will be the favorite—lf South Side and Central go down the same side of the schedule, the winner of that game, in event the two teams meet will be the favorite. —oOo— On the other hand, Decatur can expect as much support and as good a chance In any tourney as can Central. —oOo— BEAT PERU! —oOoBEAT BERNE! Tourney Drawings Set Indianapolis, Feb. 10. — (U.PJ — Schedules for the 64 sectional basketball tourneys will be drawn by the 1. H. S. A. A. board of control here at 3 p. m. Friday. February 26, and will be announced at 9 a.m. Saturday, February 27, it was an- ' nounced today by Arthur L. Trester. I. H. S. A. A. commissioner. Representatives of the three Indianapolis newspapers and three press associations have lieen invited to witness the drawings. Schedules for the regional and final tourneys will be drawn at a later date, as yet not announced.

BILL HOLDS UP TRANS-OCEANIC ZEP SERVICE Inauguration of Trips Now Left With Congress Akron, O„ Feb. (U.R)- Visions lot trans-oceanic dirigible service from the United Slates will remain only a dream, unless congress passes the pending McNary Merchant Airship Bill, Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation officials are agreed. Flans inaugurating mail, passenger and freight service across the Atlantic and Pacific will be abandoned by the Goodyear-Zeppelin concern and its subsidiaries unless the McNary measure is passed, including the provision authorizing the postmaster general to award mall contracts to airship operators. Costly Service The officials point out that such service would be extremely costly during the early stages and that guarantees in the form of mail contracts woud be essential. The McNary bill already has been brought before tlie house of representatives. At the last session, it was perused but action deferred. Now it is awaiting a senate com mittee. The measure sets up airship law's similar to maritime laws, empowering tlie postmaster-general to award contracts to airship operators. Its opponents contend that in effect, it establishes a subsidy. Unfair Charges Local airship men claim these < liarges are unfair. They contend that awarding mail contracts does not comprise a subsidy, because i the postmaster genera! is only . authorized, and not compelled, to grant them. If tlie bill is passed, Zeppelin of-! , ilcials state, tlie International Zeppelin Transport Corporation, and the Pacific Zeppelin Corporation, will proceed immediately with plans to inaugurate service.

UNION HEAD ■ BLAMES CORD | Says Airways Official Is Cause of Lockout; Fliers Still On Strike Editor’s note: David L. Behncke, president of the Air Line Pilots Association, today challenged Ehril L. Cord, wealthy president of Century Air Lines, to operate Century's tri-motor planes without yielding to ithe association's demands for better pay and working conditions. Iu this article, Behncue declares that the issue is between Cord and all air line pilots, and reveals his organization's plans to picket the Century hangar. By David L. Behncke, (Written for the UP.) Chicago. Fell. 10.—(U.R)—Twentyone pilots, locked out by E. L. Cord, president of Century Air Lines, a division of the Cord corporation, have agreed unanimously under no consideration to back down in their stand against Cord's drastic pay cut, approximately 40 per cent. The pilots association wishes it. to be clear that tlii.t is not a tight lietween Cord and Ills pilots, but a fight between Cord and all air line pilots of the country. The Century pilots have kept faith witli Cord, but Cord has not kept faith with the pilots. Tlie pilots have used every available means of trying to arbitrate. After several conferences, we entered into I a gentlemen’s agreement which I (.'ord violated by effecting a lockout 24 hours in advance of the date set for final arbitration. It is highly improbable that Cord can recruit a crew of experienced air line pilots, capable of carrying on safe operation ami fly his trimotor planes day and night on schedule, for the ridiculously low pay scale Cord offers. Pilots coming to Chicago to fill vacancies of the pilots who were locked out will be interviewed by lke association and the situation i will be fully explained to them. If I they then replace the pilots who ! were locked out in their attempt to secure reasonable pay and working
