St. Joe Wins First City

CENTRAL FIVE IS BEATEN IN OPENING GAME St. .lose Scores 38-23 Triumph In First Game Os Series A scrappy band of St. Joe eighth grade lads grabbed the first leg on the Wemhoff trophy last night at the Commodore gym, when they defeated the Central graders, SB-23. i Determined to hold the trophy, which they won last year hi two; straight victories over the public i grade boys, the St. Joe lads never 1 slowed down in rolling up their IBpoint triumph. Spurred on by the frenzied ap-1 peals of the young fans, packed on < the sidelines and yelling like a wild tribe of native Comanches, I both teams kept up a dizzy pace, throughout the tilt. Just to make the first tilt of the ; city series official. Mayor Arthur R. Holthouse himself tossed up the 1 first ball at center-and then, scrambled for safety, as the whirling legs of 10 junior high youngsters made their initial dive at the ball. The “city nads.” Herman Gillig. Andrew Appelman, George Stults and Forrest Elzey, with Ralph E. Roop and John L. Deloss, city engineer and attorney, respectively, were guests of “hizzonor at the game. But the “city dads’| were not the only ones vitally in- ’ terested in the all-important con-1 filet—for many a proud father pointed with pride and remarked "that's my son," when a miniature Johnny Moir “sniped” one from the side. St. Joe, led by Brttd and Jim’ Holthouse. Welker, Dave Terveer and McGill rapidly piled up a corn- 1 fortabie 22-8 margin at half time,| after holding a 13-4 lead at thej first stanza. St. Joe led at the| third period, 28-13. To single out the play of anyone player for special mention would he unfair to any of the 20 future high school stars who broke into the game.

(NTI-HNCHING FIGHT FORESEEN Long, Bitter Filibuster Over Anti-Lynching Bill Is Seen Washington. Jan. 5 - (U.R) — Administration leaders pressed the new session of congress toward its ; first major conflict today—a battle ' over the anti-lynching bill — but i sought to hasten the creation of,’ “fundamental" legislation to curb ’ monopoly. The prospects of a prolonged, ' ' bitter filibuster against the antilynching bill grew out of a secret ’ ’ strategy conference of the senate I opposition bloc coincident with a ’ call by majority leader Alben W j Barkley. !>., Ky.. for speed in acti ing on important measures. I “I take it for granted that this • ; session of congress will deal funda- ■ I mentally with anti-monopoly legisilation," Barkley said in a speech I outlining the program but not disi closing the type of legislation it ’ will propose. “Congress cannot delay. As soon as the president’s I recommendations are received the I proper committees will undertake I a full inquiry and I trust a new and i up-to-date anti-trust law will l>e- ’ come the law of the land.” I Barkley said that wages and I hours legislation, now buried in a , house committee, must be enacted , at this session or congressmen will face the wrath of voters at the polls next fall. He said congress was pledged to “some form of leg- ’ islation" and warned colleagues it ; was “subversive to democracy” to fail to fill the pledge. o Pope Puts At Rest Rumors Os Relapse Catican City. Jan. S—(UP) —The Pope, setting at rest reports in the the foreign press that he fe suffering from a severe relapse, spent his most active morning in weeks today. After he had celebrated mass in his private chaipel. he was visited by Prof. Armlnta Milan!, his physician.

The pope also received 300 members of the Catholic action and several hundred pilgrims. In a ten-min-ute speech he remarked that "The Holy See does not indulge in ipolitics, but only religion.” o Predicts Defeat For Ludlow Bill Washington, Jan. 5 — (UR' — I Sneaker William P. Bankhead predicted today that the Ludlow war referendum resolution will be defeated when It is called up in the house next Monday. He said he j hoped it would be defeated when the motion to discharge the rules and judiciary committee from con- ’ sidering It — signed by 218 mem-’ bers — is voted on. —- o Walter Treanor Will Be Honored Bloomington, Ind., Jan. S—(UP) Walter E. Treanor, newly appointed judge of the U. S. circuit court of appeals, wlil be honored Thursday night at a dinner given by the alumni association of the Indiana uni-, versity school of law.

Series

— i wmwi. The new year in basketball got' away to a good start in Decatur, Tuesday night, with the first of the; annual clashes between the St. Joe | and Central grade school quintets. I St. Joe came out on top by a decisive margin. George Wemhoff. donor of the trophy which is awarded each yeari to the winner of the city series, I has furnished us with some interesting data on the series. The trophy was first presented in 1927, with St. Joe winning the title. St. Joe repeated in 1928, and won again in 1931 and 1937. Central won In 1929. 1930, 1932, 1933, 1935 and 1936. No series was played in 1934. At the present time. Central has had possession of the trophy six years and St. Joe four. —oOo — The Decatur Yellow Jackets will play their third northeastern Indiana conference game of the season on the home court Friday night, meeting the Auburn Red Devils. Auburn will be plenty tough to handle, as attest the Red Devils' surprise victory over the Central Tigers of Fort Wayne last week. The Decatur Commodores will also swing into action Friday night, playing St. Paul’s of Marion at Marion. It will be a return engagement between the two teams, as the Commodores defeated Marian in the first game of the season, 23 to 19. s —oOo — Central Catholic of Fort Wayne further proved its strength last night by giving the state Catholic champions, St. Mary’s of Anderson a terrific battle before Anderson came out on top, 38 to 36. C. C. will play the Commodores on the local court next Thursday, January 13. ■ —-000 — College basketball last night provided a pair of surprises, with Indiana upsetting Illinois, co-conference champion, 51 to 46, and Minnesota decisively trouncing Notre Dame, 37 to 25. —oOo — Our fingers are crossed. Buck: “They’ll Bear Watching "Although the Decatur Yellow Jackets lost both of their tourney j contests, they boast of a team made up wholly of underclassmen, which means that Pete Reynolds may yet have another chance to ; pen lavish phrases about his apparently stingless Jackets."—Bluffton News-Banner. —oOo— Wells Co.
