I /Jr/ i lmj I Illy I’etey Fans of till northeastern Indiana are hacking the Tigers from Central of Fort Wayne to bring to this set tion the championship of Indiana high school basketbull. —oOo— Cent nil's decisive victories throughout the sectional and regional tourneys have brought hope Ito fans of this section that the Tigers can accomplish this year what they came within one game of doing last season. —oltoThe Tigers' next hurdle in the race for championship honors will be the Muncie Bearcats. Central will meet Muncie in the second semi-final contest at the Muncie fieldhouse Saturday afternoon. If successful in this tilt, the Tigers will meet the winner of the Wa-bash-Warsaw tilt for the right to carry on to Indianapolis. - oOo— » Muncie's victory in the regional last Saturday was somewhat of a surprise. After New Castle had "eliminated the tourney favorite, i Richmond. 17 to 16. Muncie trouncI ed the Trojans in the final game. —oOo — Central defeated Muncie early in the season. 27 to 23, and will have to travel at top speed to down the Bearcats, who have shown decided improvement in recent weeks. Defeat of the Berne Bears in the second game of the regional tourney at Huntington Saturday was a disappointment to Adams county fans. The Bears were favored to down Clear Creek but an' injury to Bob Oro, for four years the mainstay of the Berne quintet, on the first play of the game, apparently disorganized the Bears. Despite his injured ankle. Dro came back into the game to lead Berne in scoring. —oOo — Memories of the Frankfort loss to Rossville in the sectional tourney are “nought back by the following squib, written by a Rossville Hornet fan to the Frankfort sports writer: '"Hornets are harmless creatures While they and sing: But when you meet the business end— Ye Gods, how they can sting!" —oOo — While the Decatur basketball season is ended, the annual Yellow Jacket senior-underclassmen game will be played Friday night at the local gym. Proceeds from the game will be used to help defray expenses of the team on their annual trip to the state finals at Indianapolis. —oOo — Now that the last Adams county team is eliminated from further play, "tis high time for Basketbawl to be folded up and put in the mothballs, along with the players’ suits, until another season rolls merrily in. —oOo- — And so, 'au revoir'. o i * Today’s Sport Parade | (By Henry McLemore) ♦ ♦ New York, Mar. 16. —fttJ.PJ- Lovers of burlesque and the Brooklyn Dodgers were gratified to learn by dispatches from Clearwater. Fla., today that manager Burleigh Grimes has engaged Percy Beard, former world's hurdling champion, to instruct the Dodgers in baserunning. This was good news because it dispelled, once and for all, that Grimes meant it when, on taking charge* of the Dodgers this year, he said he would leave whimsy to Milne, comedy to Cantor, the weird to Rommer, and operate the team with the strict efficiency of a Lorgnette factory. The fact that he has engaged a hurdling coach to teach baserunning is proof positive that Burleigh was only talking through his whiskers, and that the Dodgers will come froth to meet the enemy next month as daffy as ever. At the same time, one is forced to admit that a few sound lessons in hurdling is likely to improve the Dodgers skill in running the bases. Hurdlers, as you know, must learn to leap obstacles, and Brooklyn players are constantly faced by obstacles when on £ie base paths. Their obstacles usually take the form of other Brooklyn players who, not accustomed to being on base, lose their heads. The Dodgers could have used a little hurdling on that memorable afternoon in 1926 when, with the bases loaded and but one out, Babe Herman doubled into a double play. Herman ran right on by Chick I Fewster, who was on first, and slid into third just as Dazzy Vance, who had been on second, also slid I into it. Had he known huTdling,

Herman could have neatly "scissorde" over the dazzler and headed for home. Beard, the training camp dispatch said, also would instruct the outfielders how to hurdle after fly( balls. The dispatch didn't say just how much he would teach them, so I suppose it’s safe to assume 'that he will instruct them in the art from beginning to end. The first thing, of course, will be a course in how to come out of the starting pits. This conjured up the charming picture of the Brooklyn outfielders crouched in their starting holes, waiting tor a ball to be hit in their direction. I wonder if manager Grimes, from his seat on the bench, will fire a pistol when a ball is hit as a signal for his outfielders to get going? I doubt if he w ill be allowed to carry a pistol, however, as the temptation to use it on himself sometime during the season might prove irresistible. The sight of a Broolyn outfielder (preferably a bearded one) hurdling after a long fly to deep center should be delightful. There will be no actual hurdles in center field, of course, but habit will - force him to hurdle just the same. From the grandstand the effect will not be unlike that of a Texas jackrabbit tearing across the open plain. If the outfielder should reach the ball just as he is in the midst of a “hurdle” many things may result. For perfect hurdling form does not lend itself to catching. baseballs. As a hurdler takes a | barrier his foraward leg should be' thrown out parallel to the ground.; with just the slightest bend in it, ; and the other leg should be paral- ’ lei to the hurdle. And the head and shoulders should be held low, with the arms stretched forward after the manner of a father greeting a prodigal son. My guess is that the Brooklyn outfield will be laid up. en masse, with fractured skulls before the first western trip begins. (Copyright 1937 by UP.) First Taxpayer For 10 Years Marion.
