Sixteen of the best j teams in the state, with their hys- j terical supporters present a thrilling spectacle, one that will bti hard to replace. —OoO— From the standpoint of the best interests of the youngsters who provide these thrills, however, the new arrangement of the tourneys should be a benefit. And after all, basketball is for the kids who play, not just a spectacle over J which the spectators can gloat. o GOVERNOR HOFFMAN ■rvCTiXTET. FROM P\OE ONE) ment, the governor said: "I expected it. If impeachment is the price that must be paid for daring to follow the dictates of my own conscience. I am ready to | ->ay it. A good investiga‘!on of the Lindbergh case might be a 1 healthy thing—if an investigation : is started. I will net run away." He summed the reason; for his reprieve as follows: 1. Doubt that the crime could I have been committed by one man. 2. Ddubt as to the value of evidence that placed Hauptmann in th<- nursery of the Lindt ;rgh lion.■■ on the night of the kidnaping. 3. Uncertainty as to the part “passion and prejudice" played in tlie trial because of wide publicity given the case. 4. Question as to the truthful-nc-:s and mental competency of some chief state witnesses. 5. Concern over eagerness of "some of our law-enforcement agencies to bring about the death of this one man so that the books may be closed.” "This eagerness is reflected." the governor added, "in the order elven banks to no long- r bother A'out looking for the balance of the ransom money when approximately $30,000 was still in circulation.” Tlje governor said, “I make no apology. I intend to give the public, in due course, my reasons for entertaining the doubts that 1 have expressed and I intend to direct the state police to continue itheir search for any other per- on or persons involved in the crime. Colonel Lindbergh. Col. H. Norman Schwartzkopf (head of the state police) and many others have repeatedly expressed the opinion that the crime was perpetrated by more than one person and there is no justification now for abandoning that belief. “Meantime. Hauptmann is not being turned loose. I mav ray that, to the best of my knowledge, he has made no confession »ndhds offered to make none. When he ■as told thalt his only chance was to go before the board of pardons, say 'I am guilty’ and throw himself on the mercy of the court, he spu.ned this opportunity. I am interested in the prese.rvat'on of nat thing we have rather proudly called ‘Jersey justice' and I hope that real and full justice will finally be done in this case.” Bar Silver Hits New Low Price New York, Jan. 17. — (U.R) —Bar silver crashed 3 cents a fine ounce here today to 45% cents an ounce, a new low since the summer of 1934 and the sharpest dailv >’ line since December 18 when the world silver crisis was at its height.

Judge Wilkerson demanded "how long it was after the AAA was launched that the -ackers contested its validity." Wi.cn Cooney said it was about a year or more. Judge Wilkerson said: "then a couple of weeks delay won't matter much."

PICK LOUIS TO WHIPRETZLAFF Joo Louis Is Heavy Favorite To Win Chicago Bout Chicago. Jan. 17.— (U.R) * ■ l " Louis, crown prince, heir apparent ami almost everything else except champion of the boxing world, and Charley Retzla.T, hardest punch?! the Detroit bomber ever has met. face each other tonight in a laround heavyweight boxing bout. Studied from every angle, the fight figures to be the most onesided contest in recent ring history. Not even the affaire Levin sky which ended soon aftei two minute-) of "fighting" seemed, on the day of the contest, to be as soft a touch as tonight's session at Chicago stadium. l»ospite this universal impress ion a crowu of some 20.000 prob ably will have paid out nearly SIOO,OOO by the time the doors are nnlo-ked. The crowd won't be a local one, either, for the promoter ua.e sold their wares to. customers from as far south as Atlanta and from as far north as Alberta. No fewer than 200 New Yorkers will have made overnight trips to be on hand for the newest service of Lduis' mitt artistry. While almost everybody debates the number of rounds the contest can last, a few die-aards insist Retzlaff has a chance. Chief argument for a possible but improbable Retzlaff victory is the contention that he hits harder than any of the men Louis has faced in his oneyear climb to international renown. Ring students whose opinions must be respected insist that a Retzlaff right carries more firecrackers than a Baer belt or a Camera clout, and the writer thinks this is true. But there is a compensating doubt that Charles will ever set off one of these crackers, and a greater one that it would land. Worries of the promoters and fighters today were concentrated on a bale of tickets carrying price tags of $5.50. The catch is that the five-fifty tickets don’t figure up as bargains. The fight has a top of $7.50. and everybody wikh that kind of money to spend for an evening's entertainment goes for the lirst-class cards. If the top was $lO. a $5.50 tag would read like a bargain. It was 20-to-l and few takers for an outright Retzlaff triumph. Prices on an eariy termination (with, of course, Louis doing the terminating! varied from even money to five-to-one, depending upon the length you thought the bout could achieve, and the bookie you dealt with. A casual average was even money that it would end in round
