Favorite Teams Win Opening Tourney TiW

BEARS DEFEAT CAWS,TIGERS NEARLY UPSET Berne Whips Geneva Easily; Bluffton Barely Escapes Defeat L (By Bob Shraluka) Three favorites, one an Atlants county, quintet, emerged victorious at Bluffton Friday night to win their way into the second round of play today. In the first encounter of the night, the Pleasant Mills Spartans were the first to fall by the wayside, proving an easy victim to a tall, rangy Chester Center outfit from Wells county. 55-15. Getting away to a fast start and leading 27-7 at the half, the Wells county lails were never in daner. Brubaker, tall center of the victors, was the scoring star of the game with 11 points. Williamson, as usual, was the leader for the Spartans with nine markers. Berne Wins In the second battle of the tourney, the Berne Bears definitely proved their superiority over the Geneva Cardinals. Attains county leaders in season records. After a first quarter scare, when they led. 10-9, the Cardinals folded up before the driving power of the Bears and faltered completely to lose, 19-35. Holding the Cardinals to a measly point in the second stanza, five points in the third and three points in the final period, the Bears easily finished out in front with the reserves winding up the tilt. Geneva's only consolation could come from the fact that Bob Dro was able to garner only four points. His first and only marker from the field came late in the third period. Winteregg ably carried Tiro's end of the scoring, getting five baskets and three foul tosses for 13 points before being relieved. Baumgartner. Bear forward, hit the net for 10 markers. Beerbower was best for Geneva with nine points. The feature tilt of the evening, however, was provided when two Wells county quintets ferociously battled over the right to 'meet Berne tonight. Making an awful dent in the old dope bucket, but failing to kick it over, the raincaster Bobcats faltered in the final minute to lose a one-point tilt to the Bluffton Tigers, 29-28 In the nightcap. Led by Durr, the Bobcats Jump-' ed away to an early 6-1 lead at the end of the first quarter and held on to the margin throughout the tilt until the eventful last minute. 1

March 5— HUP) — Worried, perhaps, by the j refusal of Dizzy Dean to come to ; terms, manager Frankie Frisch of . the St. Louis Cardinals tried me out , as a pitcher yesterday. ; At the conclusion of my first i performance on the mound Frisch would commit himself no further i than to say: “We still need Dizzy.’’ I didn't know whether to be en- J couraged or dismayed by this remark. Did Frisch mean that he still . i needed Dizzy to be sure of starting: the season with two (Caps) twenty game pitchers? Or did he mean that I was in no way an able replacement for the great right arm, with human being attached, who is holding out so lustily in Bradenton? Today will tell, however, for I have been pron-Ised another chance on the firing line. I know I will do even better than on yesterday if only because of the knowledge that failure will mean the minors for me.

Unfortunately this isn’t a tugI ot'-war team, with fifty on a side. | It is as a pitcher that I believe I'll land a job with the Cards. Both Lonnie Warneke and Paul i Dean watched me work yesterday, and both agreed that they had never seen a slower slow ball than mine. "That’s the slowest thing I ever I laid my eyes on," Warneke said as i i laid one down the groove. “Sho’ Is,’’ drawled Paul. "Its a wonder the durn thing don’t bounce." “Lemme see your fast one,” the vesteran Jess Haines said- So I reared back and “fogged" one through. “Quit throwing that slow .ball so much.” Warneke said, as the ball landed into Mickey Owen's mitt with a deafening thud. I thought he was kidding, but when Haines said "Yeah, let’s have a fast one," I knew they didn't know that I had practically thrown my odd-numbered vertebrae out of whack in an effort to make the ba'l burn in. So I reared further back. And as I reared back I summoned every i inch of me —lungs, ears, eyes, knee-. 3 WAYS TO GET MONEY confidential dealings 1. PHONE our office, tell us of your money need*. 2.
