Commodores Defeat Hartford Team, 22*11

COMMIES BEAT HARTFORD FIVE LAST EVENING Commodores Score Victory In Low Scoring (lame Last Night (By Bob Shtaluka) Staging a belated spurt mid way in the third quarter, Decatur's Commodores rallied Wednesday night to nose out a 22-18 win over a scrapping Hartford five on the Gorillas’ home floor. With Baker paving the way the Commodores started out with a flash at the opening of the initial period to take a lead of 4-0, before the Gorillas awakened. Quickly retaliating, the Gerwigmen came back to trail one point, 5-6 at the end of the stanza. For five minutes of the second quarter neither team flashed the brand of ball, of which they are capable, turning the battle into a dull, long-drawn out affair. For five minutes both teams failed to hit from the field until Hess scored from underneath to break an 8-8 tie. putting the locals into the lead. From there they were never headed. | * At the half-way mark, it was still anyone's game with the score standing at 11-9, and both teams unable to hit with any degree of accuracy. In the third stanza, Hess. Com-, modore center, helped the locals to grab a six-point lead, the largest of the game, when he sank two I baskets to put the locals out in | front, 15-9. Hartford, again, however, rallied and moved to within I three points at the end of the quarter, 15-18. The Commodores in the final period blanked the vaunted scoring power of the Gorillas including the pair of sharpshooting forwards. Anderson and Beitler, to finish out in front, 22-18. Hess, was the scoring leader for the locals with a total of eight : points on three field goals and a pair of free tosses. Gillig closely

Unless quickly enacted it was not thought likely that it could be! employed in seeking to break the | continued deadlock in negotiations between President Alfred P. Sloan, I Jr., of General Motors and John 11,. Lewis, auto strike leader. Bankhead said he informed Miss ■ Perkins, "that her proposal will be i given the consideration that a | communication of that sort justi- ' ties.” “1 couldn't give her assurance ( of action as congress has not had time to consider it as yet, but 11 I told her that 1 would advise her when I got an intelligent reaction \ to the proposal,” he said. Bankhead said that "of course ■ if a bill is introduced there will ! have to be hearings on it and it will have to take the usual legislative course.” Sloan ,iu a statement issued in Ne wYork, denied that the corpor-j atiou is responsible for breakdown 1 of negotiations. "Efforts have been made," the corporation said in a notice to workers posted on all plant bulletin boards, “to make you believe that General Motors is responsible for the breakdown of negotiations, that we refuse to meet with representatives of our employes, that we are shirking our moral responsibility and that we have no respect for the public interest. You know this is not true.” John Mayo Safe Flint, Mich., Jan. 28,— ,(U.R> — A police search for John Mayo, union organizer who became separated fro mhis companions in a brief disorder at Saginaw, was abandoned today with word from Detroit that he was safe. Mayo was one of two members of the United Automobile Workers union believed held by anti-union Chevrolet workers in Saginaw Wednesday. His companions became alarmed for his safety before starting back to Flint in their automobile which was sideswiped by an unknown driver. The car was forced off the highway within the Flint city limits and hit a telephone pole. Four members in the union party, which was under police pro-1 tection, were injured, two seriously. Mayo said he took refuge from anti-strike demonstrators in a drug store and returned to Detroit by way of Lansing. o FORMER LOCAL . USIJE.L' r I.oM uNBb .

■ Waters of the Wabash and White I i rivers are receding and rains fore[cast for central and southern Indliana will not increase the floodhazard, the United States weather bureau said today. J H. Armington said the only ■ rise was noted along the Wabash i river near New Harmony, caused by the Ohio river backing up that I stream. He predicted the effects of the Ohio river flood will be felt as far north as Mt. Carmel and Graysville HL. but anticipated no further -ageBack To Normal Princeton. Ind.. Jan. 28 —(UP) — Slowly recovering from flood waters ( of the White. Wabash and Patoka i rivers, Princeton enjoyed normal water supply today and re-opened city schools. Flood waters receded slowly be- . cause of the Ohio Riv»r overflow and return home of refugees was delayed. At Orrville, in Southern Knox ■ county, four babies were born in a | school house without medical assistance. Mrs- Charles Decker, Hazelton, braved high waters in a boat to care for the infants.

LOUIS, PASTOR | FIGHT FRIDAY, Joe Louis And Bob l’as- ( tor Fight Friday At New York New York, Jan. 28. (U.R> - J<*> ’ Louis and Bob Pastor finished training today while the ballyhoo | big Berthas belched a barrage of bunk aimed to pack Madison Square Garden to the rafters to-[ morrow night. I The ,100.01)0 gate predicted for I the 10-round battle is not a reality because the Detroit negro is such an overwhelming favorite to whip I Pastor. New York university grad I uate. The Broadway betting billies are still quoting 71 on Untis with few takers. Pastor's back- ! ers want 10-1. With the public reluctant to invest dollars to see such an unequal struggle, garden promoter James Joy Johnston has left nothing undone to build the collegian up as a respectable opponent. Pas tor booms forth his confidence of kayoing the Brown Bomber daily. An incident yesterday at Louis', | training camp, however, probably , i will do more to provoke attendance at the bout than all of Pastor's braggadocio. Joe was floor!ed by one of his spar-mates, EdI die Malcolm. Whether Louis was knocked down or whether he missed a blow, lost his balance and slipped was argued loudly. Malcolm said he did not hit him. j Anyway, it was the first time Louis had been on the canvas since he was counted out in the 12th round of his fight with Max Schmeling last summer and Pastor followers made much of it. Pastor was reported to have gone out and bet SI,OOO on hTmself and another S2OO to $2,a00 that he will knock Louis out. Louis will motor to New York from Pompton lakes Friday morning fn time to weigh in at the box-
