Thirteen of the 1936 regional winners are competing in the . second round of tournaments I again. Those missing are Frank ■ fort. Shelbyville and Riley of .South Bend. Os the heavy favorites for the 1937 crown. Central of Fort Wayne doesn't figure to have much trouble with Hartford City. Clear Creek and Berne in the Huntington regional. Anderson is an odds-on favorite in its own regional with Tech of Indianaptdjs and Plainfield listed as the most likely threats. Logansport is doped to win as it pleases in its regional against Monon. Flora and Peru. Vincennes faces a battle all the way in the Washington regional. Washington always is tough for the Alices and Huntingburg is a definite dark horse threat, having lost only two games all season, both of which were to Vincennes. And if those two reach the final . game there is an old superstition ]in Indiana high school basketball I that a team cannot win two games j during the season from an oppon J ent and then make it three in a row in a tournament. I Elkhart is a heavy favorite in >!the Rochester regional but might run into some difficulty with the host school. Columbus, playins; at home, likewise is a heavy favorite with Greensburg the second choice, • Rossville, the team which eliminated Frankfort last week, must get by Lebanon and then probab'y Jefferson of Lafayette in order to reach the semi-final tournaments. Jeff is the favorite. o NEGOTIATIONS I • CONTINT’En s-p,,.- nx’n- ' — I and the union men have done a splendid job and are entitled to full credit for it." William S. Knudsen, General.

Let’s go to town —at home! NO TELLING what tomorrow’s weather may be. It fools the best forecasters. But we do want that chintz for the windows. We do need a carpet sweeper, a new percolator, and a new end-table in the living-room. And we don’t want to slosh around rainy streets to hunt them. Problem: How to thwart the weather man. Simple enough! Let’s sit down by the fireplace and read the advertisements. Here it’s comfortable and snug. We’ll take the newspaper page by page, compare prices, qualities, brand-names. Tomorrow, rain or shine, we’ll head for the store that has what we want, and be home again in a jiffy. “Buying at home”—through the advertising columns—gives you wide selection, more time to decide, and satisfaction when you decide. Make it one of your pleasant habits! • * • f

BAKER DENIES (CONTINCffp FROM PAGE ONE) his Ifandn and given its control to the "Inefficient slate welfare board” Baker wanted a public hearing on 'th* measure even though It had' been "railroaded" through the sen-J ate and he understood Gov. M. Clifford Townsend had said the] ;t,ill "must go through." Coy had] 6o days ago to consult hitn on this bill and hadn't, Baker said, and he was “disappointed in Coy like a lot of people in Indiana," Coy ’didn't know what was going on in h's own department,” Baker said, adding he set no "animosity" toward Coy and had not threatened Coy's ife. 2 Baker was not sure be had the original senate bill 173 since hr - was given several copies of It by Rep. Martin Downey. D.. Hammond, chairman of the house judiciary A committee. He could not remember all of his meetings with Downey or their conservavtions. but he d-ld not reach into Downey's ipocket ami take the bill as the Hammond le-| gislator said in his testimonyI 3. Baker admitted being with Concilia just before the attack on Coy when the two had two drinks in the Harrison hotel taproom. He did not see the attack on Coy by Concilia, he said and later he did not return to the taproom with Cancllla to take four drinks. Anyone who said he did was a "cheap liar," Baker said, re-i ferring to previous testimony from a taproom barmaid. 4. He did not flee to Miami, Fla., J after the attack on Coy, Baker said He had a job in prospect “which would take hitn out of politics'] and he went to Miami to discuss it. He refused to say what the job was. 5. After he was told of the Coy assault Baker said he left the statehouse within five minutes be-; cause he "knew that in his official position and association with Can- ] cilia they would try to link me with it —and now they've indicted me even though I didn't see the fight.” 6. He refused to testify whether he had said to Edward Beggs, clerk of the house, ‘*l hope Pete
