ITMskwwi. < 251 1 I » I Decatur's second basketball treat of the week is on the bill of fare tonight, when the Decatur Commodores will entertain St. Mary's of Anderson at the Catholic gymnasium. —oOo — Both the Commodores and St. Mary's are undefeated, Decatur holding four straight victories and Anderson eight. Last season. Anderson defeated the Commies twice j in regular season play and also in j the annual H-A-R-D tourney. St. ; Mary’s has won 19 regularly scheduled games in succession and last year advanced to the semi-finals of the national Catholic tourney before being eliminated. The Yellow Jackets put on another one of those real thrillers for the fans Tuesday night, scoring a one-point victory over the Wabash Hill Toppers. In the three home games, all won by the Jackets, two have been copped by one point and the other by two. * -000— No argument about it, basketball fans dote on those close, hard fought battles, especially so when the old home team comes from behind to grab the bacon. The larg- i est crowd of the season saw the Tackets do that very thing last night and it is our prediction Chat standing room will be at a premium if Decatur continues to put on this kind of a show for the customers. —oOo— Friday night both Decatur teams will once more swing into action. The Commodores entertain Monroeville of .Mams county here, while the Yellow Jackets travel northward to meet the Redskins of North Side in their first conference' game of the season. Adams county teams are busy 1 ’ this week buckling down to hard work in preparation for the annual tourney, to be held Friday night I and Saturday at the Hartford I

township gym. —oOo — With Berne's withdrawal, the tournament is regarded as a wide-open affair, with the Hartford Gorillas established a slight favorite on the season’s record and the advantage of playing on the home floor. First round games will be played Friday night, starting at 7 o'clock, when Hartford and Kirkland clash. This will be followed by Geneva vs. Monroe and Monmouth vs. Jefferson. At 2 p. in. Saturday. Pleasant Mills will meet 1 the winner of the Hartford-Kirk- ■ land game. The other winners will meet at 3 p. in., with the semi finj alist victors meeting for the champ- . ionship at 8 o'clock. The Monmouth and Kirkland girls will play for the county championship as a preliminary at 7 o'clock. When we walked Into the Yel- . low Jacket gym last night, it looki ed like a coaches' association meet- ' Ing. Among those we saw matching every move intently—and we presume, intelligently — were the following: George Laurent, Commodores; Judson Erne, Berne, ac- ' companied by his superintendent. E. M. Webb; L. E. Templin, Bluffton. and his assistant, Fred Park: Bob Nulf. North Side: Purl Friddle. South Side; Harold Johnson.

YANKS LIKELY | TOMAKETRADE Sale Os Stars To Boston And Detroit May Force Yanks’ Hand Chicago. Doc. 11—<U.R>- Officials of the New York Yankees are so panicky they are expected to announce an important player deal during the major league baseball meeting today. Col. Jacob Ruppert, Brewer and owner, either must unloosen the I string of his ample purse or see his team wind up below the Boston Red Sox anil the Detroit Tigers next year. | A week ago Ruppert and Joe McCarthy, manager of the Yankees, announced confidently that they could win the flag in 1936 with their present squad. Two deals yesterday caused a ( radical change in their plans. First, Jimmy Foxx, slugging first baseman, and Johnny Marcum, a great young pitcher, were sold to the Red Sox by Philadelphia. Second. Al Simmons, erstwhile batting champion of the American league, was sold to the world champion Detroit Tigers by the. Chicago White Sox. The transactions added so much strength to the Boston and Detroit clubs that Colonel Ruppert finally admitted he might be forced to spend some dough in order to put his team in next year's race. Ruppert was willing to trade Ben ' Chapman, his temperamental outfielder. and Johnny Allen, a pitcher. to Cleveland In exchange for , Mel Harder, the Indians' ace hurler. But Cleveland officials turned ■ their thumbs and said: "We won’t trade but you can buy Harder if you put up enough cash money." The Indians are more interested in obtaining a catcher than an outfielder, so manager Steve O'Neill has concentrated Ills efforts on that department. One rumor said that Cleveland and the Chicago White Sox have a deal coming up but there was no confirmation. Because of the Foxx and Simmons deals, the major news yesterday broke in American league headquarters, it may lie different today, however, since too way for trades in tile National league was onened when Rob Quinn was ward-
