Central Wins Huntington Regional Tournel

BEARS LOSE IN FIRST TILT OF REGIONAL MEET Central Defeats Hartford City And Clear Creek Saturday Central's Tigers from Fort Wayne, bent for a state title, con tinned their relentless march in the regional tourney Saturday at Huntington, turning in two decisive victories to win the right to compete in the semi-final tourney at the Muncie fieldhouse next Sat urday afternoon and evening. The Tigers, after trouncing the Hartford City Airdales in the opening game of the regional. 41 to 22. proceeded to rub out the Clear Creek Bulldogs in the final tilt. 47 to 21. The Berne Bears, winners of the Bluffton sectional meet, were eliminated by Clear Creek in the second regional game. 28 to 20. Berne fans saw their hopes for a shot at the Tigers go glimmering in the first minute of the Clear Creek tilt, when Bob Dro. high scoring center of four years experience, twisted an ankle on the opening tip-off. Although Dro returned to action late in the first quarter and stayed in the rest of the encounter, he was unable to perform in his usual ( fashion. Clear Creek held a 7 to 4 lead | at the first quarter, and the Bull-1 dogs held out in front. 14 to 11 at | the half. Clear Creek increased its advantage to 19 to 12 at the third quarter. Despite his bad ankle, Dro led the Bears with nine points. Overholtz was high for Clear Creek, also tallying nine points. Central made pretty much of a , runaway of both its tilts. The Tig-1 ers led Hartford City at the half, 24-8 and used reserve players plentifully in the final periods. Clear Creek gave the Tigers a battle only for a few minutes in the final game. Central held a 10 to 5 lead at the first quarter and 25 j to 12 at the half. Central will meet the Muncie Bearcats in the 3 p. m. Saturday at Muncie, and if successful will meet the winner of the WabashWarsaw tilt for the right to enterthe finals at Indianapolis the fol-j lowing Saturday.

By MAURICE MERRYFIELD International Illustrated News Writer AUGUSTA, Ga.—Four men noted as “money players”—capable of maintaining top form under pressure—loom as favorites in the fourth national Masters’ tournament at Augusta, April 1-4. They are Horton Smith, Gene Sarazen, Harry Cooper and Ralph Guldahl. All have been displaying top form this spring. And each one plays the all-around game required by the varied and difficult hazards which test the versatility of the contestants. One thihg is certain. Cooper will be out for revenge this year in an effort to wipe out the sting of last year's defeat when Horton Smith snatched almost certain victory from his grasp with a miraculous finish. In the same manner Cooper was edged out in the finals of the national open in 1938 by Tony Manero. The gods of golfdom also smiled on Smith the first year of the tourney when he nosed out Craig Wood by one stroke. Wood has been another star apparently jinxed by

In Conference Pittsburgh. Mar. 15 -(U.R)—John L. Lewis steel workers organizlnz committee met with Carnegie-Illi-nois Steel Corp., today to complete details of their collective bargaining agreement the first in nearly half a century. Tomorrow, most of the nation's 500,000 steel workers will go on a 40 hour week: common labor will receive $5 for an eight-hour day and workers in the skilled and semi-skilled class will receive 10 cents more per hour for their labors. The average pay will lie 83 ■ cents an hour, highest in steel’s history. The wage boost, second in four months, will add approximately $100,000,000 to steel payrolls, and bring the total payroll for the five . billion dollar industry to one bfl-. lion dollars for 1937. S. O. C.'s one-year contract with Caruegie-lllinois provided for a 40-i •hour week, the $5 day for common ‘ labor, and time and one-half for overtime. Today's conference is expected to result in wage adjustments for skilled and semi-skilled members, probably an increase of 10 cents an hour.

the Augusta course. After his heart-breaking defeat by Smith in 1934, he bowed to Gene Sarazen in 1935 in a playoff after the latter had tied him by making a deuce on a par five hole with an unbelievable brassie shot. Can Jones Come Back? Guldahl has been proving his mettle In southern tournaments in recent weeks, copping the rich Miami-Biltmore tournament among others. Sarazen, considered by many to be the best "money player" in the game, is, of course, a constant threat and should be up near the top when final scores are posted. Bobby Jones, "champion of champions" and designer of the course, has been hard at practice this winter in an effort to improve on the disappointing showing he has made in the three previous tournaments. Another who will be in there swinging in an effort to redeem himself is Lawson Little, stellar match player and former amateur champion. Since he turned professional, Little has had but little success, but the 1937
