Thompson stressed the value and importance of the sportsman- j ship learned through athletic competition as it can be applied in after life.

Ga„ April 9— <U.R> — Gene Sarazen, the husky little gentleman farmer from Brookfie'd Center. Conn., who has won more I titles than he can remember, trav-| eled northward today with first • prize money in the Augusta national, final event of the winter golfing wars. Sarazen. who etunned the Au-I gusta galleries with a double 1 eagle which knotted the standings l at the end of the regular 72-hole test, ran away from Craig Wood.j of Deal, N. J., in Monday’s 36-hole plavoff. Sarazen followed a great collection of golfing shots in the regulation set of four rounds b v equalling par in the 36 extra holes, while Wood was floundering be-, tween an occasional burst of bril-1 liance and some rank putts and | off-line approaches. Gene admitted today that he had set the Augusta national—the Bobby Jones tourney—as his own private test for approaching national championships. “1 practiced plenty for Augusta” |he said. “I got here nearly a | week early, took good care of myself, tested the course from every' angle, and I knew I was set when T started. 1 decided as soon as I tied Craie on Sunday that I’d go > I abroad this summer. I'm going : after that British open once again and of course the American, and I feel like I can’t miss either.” The playoff was a contest between a Sarazen who was content to stay with par figures and a Wood who gambled at the wrong j I times in addition to being erratic from the fairways and on the grepns. Gene had a collection of 24 consecutive holes scored in par figures. The course was sloppy after an all night, drenching rain, but Gene liked the going. Sarazen’s 141 was 5 strokes better than Wood’s effort. —o Letter Men To Meet Wednesday All tetter men of the Decatur public high cho:l are requested to meet at the Yellow Jacket gymnasium Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock.

MAKE PLANS FOR REGIONAL PLAY Hiijh School Loaches Meet To Plan Regional Football Competition Indianapolis, April 9— (U.R) — l i Plans for regional competition be- , j tween high school football teams; j in Indiana are being studied by a 1 i committee of coaches under the ; I leadership of Charles Bennett. I LaPorte. According to the plan, state sec- ■ ondary schools would be divided; [into two divisions upon an enroll-' 1 ment basis. Class A would be , made up of the larger schools. i I while those with small enroll-' I ments would compete in Class B. , The state would be divided into I ; four regional districts, and games I ; would be played in etadia of the state’s four largest universities. 1 i Notre Dame. Indiana. Purdue an I Butler are being considered tentatively. The strongest teams in Class A ; and Class H in each regional I would meet, according to the, ■ plan. Proponents of the plan point' out that the proposal te not inI tended primarily to determine a state championship, although it is ' admitted that such a system' would clarify the title situation. The purpose of the plan, they I I point out, is to stimulate interest; iin high school football games in Indiana. . -j Other members of the committee are Elmer H. Burnham. Cen- | tra! of South Bend; John Kyle. (Gary; Tim Campbell. Indianapolte. ■ I and John V. Magnabosco. Clinton. CHI WHITE SOX I COME TO LIFE — Have Developed Into A Hustling Ball Club And Are Winning Games Chicago, Apr. 9.—(U.R) —Strange tales are drifting back from the | hinterlands about the amazing change in the Chicago White Sox. It is almost unbelievable that they are hustling, scrapping, and actually winning. The Sox have won seven of their . last nine games against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It is a miraculous 1 occurrence for the Sox to win any kind of a game, so their up-to-date . record of 14 victories in 23 games against all kinds/of opposition is i the biggest surprise of the exhibi- ; tion season. , I The Sox were adjudged the worst : ' team in the majors last season, i \ and California critics this spring ; : called them the poorest ball club I ever to train on the west coast. . i They started home looking like a bush league outfit. t After losing six of the first sev- : en games in the Pittsburgh barn- . storming series, the White Sox dis- , carded their lackadaisical methods f, and started playing “heads up" •' baseball. Manager Jimmy Dykes showed he wouldn't tolerate lazy ball players when he benched first base- . man Zeke Bonura becaupe he wouldn’t partake of running exercises to improve his wind. The benching brought the desired rei suits and since Bonura has returned to the game he has belted 20 hits, including seven doubles, a ■ triple and two home runs, in 41 t times at bat. i The slow but steady improve- ■ ment of the pitchers under the r coaching of Muddy Ruel has tighti ened the Sox’ defense, and lessen ed the number of runs it takes to

I win a game. The ace of the young - pitchers is Les Tietje. He may de-| ' velop into one of the out standing | , young pitchers of the league. The 1 I Cubs faced him in lais AngelesJ land found him the best pitcher they | have batted against this spring. ' Tietje has developed a screw ball ' which is difficult to solve. In 17' innings against the Pirates, Tietje, has allowed only 3 runs and 12 - I hits. Dykes is certain he has found a • deadly hitter itr Vernon (Georgell Washington, the big Texas rookie ; outfielder. He is a bit awkward afield but he has been murdering jail kinds of pitching this spring, and appears to be what the Sox i need to bolster their attack. Ten years ago the White Sox won ;13 spring training games in succession. and then lost eight straight when the season opened. For that i reason White Sox fans, ever loyal ito the team but skeptical because 'of years of disappointing attempts; ■to rebuild since the 1919 Black Sox• scandal, want to wait to see Jim-1 my Dykes’ club in action in tuei championship season before really I i believing the south side club is on' the upgrade. o Boys Competing Four Or Five Years Report Looil legion athletic officers have a.sk?d that all boys who have competed either frour or five y?ars | in American Legion junior baseball. I report their names and addresses j to Pete Reynolds at the Daily Dem- ' oemt.
