An abundance of dog fights and toss-up games appear evident on the sectional program as the 781 teams toe the mark for the threeweek grind which will sift the field down to the lone survivor and state champion. In such centers as Gary, Indianapolis, and Fort Wayne the field is open and anyone’s guess is us safe as mine. Jeffersonville, one of the state’s two undefeated teams l draws almost as much attention as any other entrant. No school in the history of the tournament has gone through a season and the tournament without defeat and tliat jinx is an additional mental strain. Many look for New Albany to upset the Demons, most of the prognasticators swing in line with Jeffersonville. Pittsboro, in evading defeat this year, has triumphed over Plainfield three times, but I look for an upset ut Danville by Coach Bill Bugg’s outfit. And then there is that Noblesville team, which lost the opening game and then started a victory streak. Tipton, has an impressive record and may stop the Milers. In viewing the season performances of many of the teams and allowing for several upsets of the dope, I look for the sectionals to be decided pretty mtich as follows: At Anderson— Anderson, at Attica —Covington, at Aurora — Lawrenceburg. at Bedford —Bedford, at Bloomington Lyons, at Bluffton — Bluffton, at Brazil—Brazil, at Can-

LOCALBOXERS HE DEFEATED Lloyd Conrad And Lloyd Sheets Lose In Golden Gloves Tourney — Lloyd Conrad and Lloyd Sheets., Decatur's lone entrants in the: Golden Gloves-tournament at Chi- ( cago. were both eliminated from the running Tuesday night. I. Conrad won his first bout of the -, tourney early in the evening but I was later nosed out of a close de- . I vision. Sheets lost on a technical knockout in the second round of , I his fight. | , Conrad won a decision from , ' Mason Vint, a tall but awkward . ; scrapper from Kokomo. The match I was fairly close but the local box- . l er scored enough telling blows to . gain the decision handily. i. Harold Henderson of Omaha was, given the nod by the judges in Conrad's second bout. Opinion at • the ringside seemed to differ in ■ this bout with many of the fans , feeling Conrad was entitled to the , verdiet. Lloyd Sheets, defending the light , heavyweight title won at Fort - Wayne last week, lost on a tech- . nical knockout to Herman West of- - 111., in the second round. The referee stopped the bout when Sheets was apparently outclassed, although not badly hurt by West. ■ . Private Building In State Higher 'rdianapoli.s, Ind..

BABE TO FILL THREEPOSTS Ruth To Be Vice-Presi-dent, Assistant Manager And Player New York. Feb. 27—(U-R> The saga of Ruth and the Yankees was at an end today and the mighty Babe turned toward Boston to fill three jobs. Baseball's greatest star is now - vice president, assistant manager and player of the Braves. Boston's National league team. Thus he returns to the city which first knew him as a. major league star. He goes principally to fill one job, that of an ace player who mav bring new life blood (money at the turnstyles) to the Braves. Secondly, he hopes to groom himself and to be groomed for a post ae full-fledged manager. Finally. when o’aying days and active managerial day.- are done, he is in line to become one of America's most contradictorv sports figures, a ha-’t-ball magnate. Fortuna'e always the Bale 1 , fortunate is be in this latest turn of events. Yet he turns -adly 'from the baseball nark he built, from the league be helped to make, and from (be club bosses who once loved him but who, in their hearts are glad to bo rid of him. Why so? Wasn't Babe Ruth the Yankees, end weren't the Yankees Babe Ruth? Yes. Ruth was the Yankees to that curious admixture of humanity which created an ethereal tut none the les-? real ‘ Ruthville" in rightfield bleachers of Yankee stadium. -No less was he the Yankees to visiting firemen who, planning their visits to New York, bracketed hopes of seeing the Babe poke one over the fence a’ong with those pf catching glimpses of a few Harlem hot spot-.i. seeing Broadway at the theater rush hour and of trying to enjoy a view of the statue of Liberty on Sunday afternoon. Despite all this Col. Jacob Runnert. owner of the Yankees. Ed Barrow. his general manager, and Manager Joe McCarthy were profoundly glad that the deal was closed. Two reasons: 1. Babe, although still a great stlracfion at the nla’e. was e'=n a tremendous liability to ’he fames- .on column. Desnite the fact he won games with his notent bat. he lost even more because he was no longer ilde to field as wel’ as the utility outfielder of the Co'innbus, American Association club. 2. Babe himself had created a “st’nation." This revolved about some l“*s than diplomatic remarks be made at the c'ose of the 1934 season. In effect Babe sa<d be felt ’he Yanks owed him a iob. The iob would be that of manager of the dub. That would mean firing Joe McCarthy who had 1-een doing a good job. and whose contract had one year to run. oI Discount Renort Desperado Slain — Austin, Feb- 27—(UP) — Texas rangers and state higb-w y patrol' chief L. G. Phares today discount’d a report tbit Raymond Hamilton eunman at large, had been killed at Alice, Text a. Chief Phases said the report waa received on the highway patrol’s teletype machine.
