Mar. 30. —(U.R) — As the Giants settled here today for another contest with the Indians, it was becoming increasing- , ly evident that manager Bill Terry certainly would carry on at first ‘ base —and probably do a good job of it too. Terry's hitting is approaching par rapidly. He has made four hits in six times at bat | in the last three games. Although still favoring his left knee while playing part time in those games. Terry was quite capable afield, more so than Sambo Leslie. Pirates Win San Antonio, Tex. — The Pittsburgh Pirates had their second victory over the Chicago White Sox today by virtue of a three run rally in the ninth after two were out. The score was 10 to 8. The Pirates led until the eighth when the Sox got to Guy Bush for four runs. Ted Lyons and Whit Wyatt w’ere touched for the Pirates winning runs. Cy Blanton and Mace Brown also worked for the Pirates and Les Tietje and Monty Stratton worked the early innings for the Sox. Gomez Not Ready St. Petersburg. Fla. — Heave a sigh for poor old Marse Joe McCarthy. manager of the New Yolk Yankees. Just when Marse Joe might get a beam of sunshine out of the tact that his expensive rookie outfielder, Joe Dimaggio, is almost ready to return to the game—after an injured left foot —manager McCarthy suddenly discovered that pitcher left Gomez is not rounding into sliape. In yesterday's contest with the Cubs, Left did not appear to have his usual stuff. Lefty’s curves re-, fused to break and his control was paretic. Nationals Win Orlando, Fla. — The Washington Nationals surveyed a clean sweep of a two game series with the St. I Louis Browns today with great i satisfaction.

PITCHING BEST FORBROOKLYN I Uncertain Infield And Outfield Drawback To Dodgers Clear Water. Fla.. Mar. 30. —(U.R) ; —The Brooklyn Dodgers are preparing to break camp here boasting a well-rounded pitching staff but troubled with an uncertain infield and outfield. The pitching is the best part of the club. Casey Stengel figures he has five dependable starters. Leadoff man is towering George Earnshaw who looks better than any time since he was winning for the A's with Bob Grove. Van Mungo, who led Dodgers pitchers with 16 victories last year, is showing well. too. So are Fred Frankhouse and Ed Brandt, from Boston, and the venerable William Watson Clark. Tom Zachary and Tom Baker promise dependable support. Best newcomer is Al Butcher. 24-game winner with Galveston last year. I Behind the plate Brooklyn has the veteran Gordon Phelps, along with Ray Berres, on from Sacramento, and Walter Millies, up from Chattanooga. Stengel figures Berres a better catcher than Al Lopez, who was swapped to Boston. Buddy Hassett, who came to Brooklyn from the Yankees by way of Newark, hasn't lived up to his price tag of 140,000 and two players. He's still being considered for first. At second is Vinnie Sherlock, a near 300-hitter with Indianapolis last year. He's not doing much better than Hassett. Linus Frey is okeh at short, but Jim Bucher is none too dependable at third from which job Joe Stripp is holding out. If Bucher doesn't make the grade, Stengel will call Fred Lindstrom in from the outfield. The way they are lining up now, however, Lindy is playing left. John Cooney from Indianapolis, center, and Randy Moore, another Braves acquisition, and Oscar Eckhardt are fighting for the right field post Stengel knows what to expect of Moore so he's using Eckhardt most of the time. Last year's brightest hope, Stanly Bordagaray, is now rated number 5 on the Dodgers outfield staff. Stripp is the most tenacious of the important holdouts. He feels his .306 batting last year Entitled him to a raise, not a cut from $9,000 to 37,000. He was the only player cut. o Steve Sitko Is Given Gimbel Award Indianapolis, Mar. 30. — (U.R) — Steve Sitko. senior guard on the Central of Fort Wayne team, today was honored with the Jake Gimbel sportsmanship medal. He was presented with the award at the conclusion of the Indiana high school basketball tournament finals Saturday night. Twelve Thousand Will Be Employed Indianapolis, Mar. 30. — (U.R) — Nearly 12,000 tpen will be employed on highway improvement projects this spring, the state highway department announced today. Improvements in 77 counties will , Include paving, shoulder-widening, roadside planting, drainage and elimination of hazardous curves and grades. Part of the work will be financed ' with works progress administraI tion funds. Labor from relief rolls will be used. Under WPA • contracts, all improvements must be completed by August 1. Approximately 800 miles of state II highways are included in the pro i gram.

FRANKFORT FIVE BEATS CENTRAL IN FINAL GAME Hot Dojrs Show Dazzling Power To Win State Championship Indianapolie. Mar. 30 (U.R) Frankfort UkKv was acclaimed as the 1936 Indiana high school basketball champion und one of the strongest teams ever to compote in the annual tournament. Led by the veteran Everett Case, the Frankfort team reached its peak to defeat Central of Fort Wayne. 50 to 24. in the final game of the 25th anun ! tourname.it : Saturday night. It was the third state championship for Frankfort and climaxed a winning streak of 29 consecutive games. The champions were defeated only by Tipton during the I regular season. Coach Case, prematurely gray nt j 35, declared the team was “one of ’ the three best I ever coached. The others wore his championship Frankfort teams of 1925 and 1929. Frankfort never has failed to ' reach the finals under Case, and the appearance here last week end was the I.lth since he assumed coaching duties in 1922. The champions of the North Central * conference brought that | league its seventh state chajnpion- | ship in nine years. Frankfort won the conference title with eight ' consecutive victories —a new record for that group. Enroute to the state championship, the Hotdogs were forced to score their third consecutive victory of the season against Lebanon, Logansport and Anderson. This was contradictory to that rei speeted Hoosier basketball adage that “you can't defeat a good team three times in a season.’’ The champions broke another precedent when they brought the North Central conference its third consecutive state championship.
