BEATS CENTRAL FOR CITY TITLE THURSDAY NIGHT St. Joe Holds City Opponents To Single Field Goal Last Night (By Bob Schraluka) Th* St. Joe eighth graders swarmed all over the Central grade qiiitHwt last night at the Yellow Jacket gytn to cop the city grade title hy the overwhelming score of 22 7. The victory, St. Joe's second straight over their rivals, came in a whirlwind last half that smothered the Central boys. Central was limited to hut a, single Held goal, that a long looping heave from the center of the floor by Fuhrman midway in the second quarter. Fuhrman's heave, with tour foul tosses, however, enable Central to hold a slim 6-5 lead at half time. Then in the third stanza, led by Bollinger, pint sized guard, the St. Joe lads hit a really "hot streak." Bollinger hit from the side and then from the black line. Hackman and Bierly dropped in a pair ot foul tosses apiece. Bollinger hit from way out and Holthouse fol lowed from the side. When the' smoke cleared. St. Joe was out in front by the wide margin of 17’-6. Central, meanwhile, failed to score. In the final period. Cherry dropped in a charity marker to bring Central's total to seven points. A foul toss and dribble in shot by Hackman. with a heave from the side by Terveer put the Catholic lads on the long end of a 22-7 score, where the tilt ended. Hackman and Bollinger led for Coach Bob Andrew s winners with seven and six points, respectively. Cherry, with three free throws, led < the Everhart lads.

LOUIS TO MEET JIM BRADDOCK ( hicago Apparently Has Bout Tied Vp , or June 15 Chicago. Feb 5. U.R) A bold 'coup by the Illinois athletic commission brought the proposed heavyweight champion prizefight between Jimmy Braddock and Joe : Louis right up to the contract sign ; ing stage today. Assuming a sit-tight attitude, the commission virtually assured a 151 round Braddock-Louis bout In Chicago June 15. It did it this way: , 1. Chairman Joseph Triner ' patched up a dispute between Mike | I Jacobs of New York's 20th century, (sporting club, who has an ex< lus ive contract to ai t as co promoter, lin the bombers fights, and Louis', I co-managers. Julian Black and John I Roxborough. 2. He obtained a verbal agreement from each contestant to apj pear Monday to sign articles for 1 the match. 3. He announced a contract he'tween Jacobs and the sporting club jof Illinois, actual promoters, who I I offered Braddock 3500,000 or an 1 1 option on half the net receipts. j Although Madison Square Garden ! has "an ironclad contract" to put on the scheduled Braddock-Max Schmeling title match in New York ; | June 3. none appeared concerned, j "1 see no legal entanglements at thTs end that might halt the fight." Triner said. "We have the assurance of the i best legal minds at our disposal that Illinois has every right to stage this fight. For once, we have a chance to break New York's corner on heavyweight bouts." ■ The sudden negotiations, an- ! nounced only last Sunday, were slowed up by refusal of Jacobs to consider terms as long as he was There will be an annual melting of the Adams county farm bureau cooperative Wednesday, Feb. 10 at 1 p.m. above the Model Hatchery at Monroe. The purpose of the meeting is to elect directors and look after such other business as may be necessary. All stockholders are urged to attend. Jerry Liechty. president O. V. Dilling, secretary
