| one week before the tourneys are played and we trust that this year will be no exception, j 000 Yellow Jacket fans will await j 1 the Foil Wayne seciloudl drawing i with much interest and perhaps tear, as the Yellow Jackets must ! I play in that tough tourney again [ j this year. 000 Monmouth also will play in the Fort Wayne sectional, while the nine other Adams county teams xvi 1 1 tangle with Wells county basketball at Buffton, 000 Whenever we mention Wells county basketball this year, we ] get a seyere headache. And why? j Because as near as we can figure, '■ 1 Adams county has scored just! ONE victory over Wells county I | this year. Kirkland defeated i I Rockcreek for this honor. 000 If we have forgotten any victories, piease remind us because we will be 'tickled pink’ to make the correction. 000 Most of the outstanding teams throughout the state are taking it rather easy this week. First semester examinations are taking some time away from basketball in most of the schools. * The only j game scheduled tonight between; outstanding contenders brings together Martinsville and Rushvilte, anil these two ball clubs are not i so strong, as in previous seasons.! 000 An important game is scheduled j at Fort Wayne tonight, with the Central Tigers and South Side] Archers clashing at South Side in, ,a city series clash. All the dope! favors South Side but these games; are hard to figure. 000 Yellow Jackets and Commodores are still hoping to break j their losing streaks, both of which 1 have reached rather alarming! j proportions.

FAIL TO PLACE BABE ON TEAM St. Louis, Jan. 25 —(U.R) — 'The nation’s baseball writers have ! voted Babe Ruth off the sporting j news’ annual all-star major league j | team. j The publication’s eighth annual] ! poll of the writers revealed they ! considered Chuck Klein. Phillies’ ! star, the most valuable man in right field. The 1932 selections, made public today, show that Klein received 111 votes to the Babe's 63. One hundred and ninety-ono] i members of -the baseball writers association of America voted. A 1 few placed both players in other j | outfield positions. Klein's total I outfield vote was 135 to Ruth’s ! 94. Bill Dickey of the Yankees re-j i placed the famous Mickey Cochrane of the Athletics as catcher. 1 Dickey was not considered in previ ions polls. Lefty O’Doui. Brooklyn left fielder, champion batsman (if the National league, replaces another American league star. A1 Simmons, who slumped with the Athletics in 1932. Young Joe Cronin, new man- ' ager of the Washington Senators, ! was the most popular choice. He j ! received 158 votes for shortstop, j overwhelming all other candi- • dates. Six American league and four National league players were voti ed positions as follows: | Left field— Frank O’Doui, BrcokI lyn. ] Center field - Earl Ave r i 11. ] Cleveland.

BACK TO NATURE | MAN’S REACTION TO MACHINE AGE Garden Bureau Predicts Increasing Trend To Country and Suburbs As Leisure Grows While social adjustments to the! machine age will he great andj may even reach in degree *hoso! foretold by the technocrats, sta-| tistics gathered during the last twelve years by the National Gar-! den Bureau indicate that 1 they will! take an entirely different direr-1 tion front that commonly associat-j ! ed with modernism. Moreover. adjustments have! been under way for years, unper ) eeived by most, and they will I probably continue at a pace so slow that no violent upsets are likely from this cause in the opinion of James If. Burdett. director of the National Garden Bureau. 130 North Wells Street, t'hi- ' cago, who bases his prediction on a study of population and housing statistics. “While the work of the world is being porfonmed indiva si ugly by machinery, men are not machines and never will be,” said Mr. Burdett. "This is not a flippant statement, but one of real significance. Social evolution in the United States during its history] lias been the result of two chief: and conflicting forces, the desires of men and the compulsion exert ] ed by economic pressure. “Mi-n have never worked in fao-j tories anil crowded into slums be-! cause they desired to do so. but because they were forced to it by the necessities of our industrial system. Our rent cities were the product of economic pressure. Tt I is obvious that when the pressure is lifted, by technical improve ! ments, rising standards of living, i and Increased leisure, life will assume a different pattern, corre-j sponding more nearly to the life] that normal men desire. "Every day some new proof Is discovered that men require close j and constant contact with naturei in order to be healthy. Sunshine, pure air. natural foods, open air recreation, and natural beauty are not only what the doctors order, but wlial aH men desire for themselves and their children. Even while our great cities were reaching their maximum development during the prosperity era, a great hegira hack to the country had set In. “The only growth In population experienced by the cities of 100,000 population and over in the United States from 1920 to 1930 ■ was confined wholly to their out- • lying and suburban areas. There was in I hat period A greet moveI] ment from rural districts and i small towns into citieß, hut It met an equally large exodus from congested city districts into suburbs.

> three men of the doomed ship were washe,. erbnard i and drowned in the raging gale before the American : Merchant reached the scene of the disaster. Inret - is Captain Giles C. Stedman of the rescue ship, whose 1 courage and seamanship played a prominent part.

| “The decentralization of indus- ! try began during the same period ! | and Henry Ford, apostle of mass ! ; production, is advocating and de-| j veloping plans which will break] i up his great factories into small i units, located in agricultural dis- ] tricts, so that factory workers] ; may spend their leisure time in] j cultivating the soil and beautify- ' t ing the countryside, “These are a few of the signs I which convince us that gradually j ;in the United States economic) pressure is lifting and men are I being permitted to seek the kind j ] of life they prefer; that this is! ! not the life of the congested city.: ] hut that of the country or the garden suburb; and that the fn- ! tare deevelopment of our country will he marked by the decentvaj lization of industry and popula- ] tion, and the development of subj urban and rural life on a standard] j of comfort and beauty such as the ] i world lias never seen. Men will I not become machines, but will use!
