LOUIS FIGHTS MANNTONIGHT Joe Louis Is Heavy Favorite To Defeat Nathan Mann New York, Feb. 23. — <U.R> —Joe Ijottte makes his second defense of the world's heavyweight boxing championship tonight. meeting Nathan Mann of New Haven at Madison Square Garden. Sehed- 1 uled for 15 rounds the fight should , be over before the tenth is com- J plete. While that prediction tnay not come off. it does give a line on the expectations of the fight mob. No , one but Mann and his entourage . give him more than an outside • chance of lasting the route. In I fact, many observers look for a | Louis kayo victory inside of five < rounds. This universal belief has had a . • depressing effect upon the betting but has in no way marred the tic- , ket sale. So far there just hasn't; been any real betting but this as- i ternoou special trains, bringing an | expected 5,000 Connecticut fight , fans, arrive at Grand Central and then the 1-4 odds on a Louis victory may start to attract business. | Continued assaults on the box office last night and this morning were expected to make the show a sellout. As early as yesterday it was impossible to buy choice seats. It Mann should achieve the improbable he would have supplied boxing with its greatest upset since Jim Corbett put the slug on John L. Sullivan. This, however, is the age of ring miracles. In recent years we have had the BraddockBaer and Schmeliug-Louis upsets. ' and in recent weeks or days Brad- 1 dock has beaten Farr; Apostoli 1 has beaten Steele, and Escobar has 1 beaten Jeffra.

The last lap! —oOo — High school basketball teams of Indiana will wind up their schedules this week. With all eyes straight ahead to the annual classic, the state tourney. For some learns, It has been n glorious sea- • son. for others, well, let us b» charitable. - —oOo — Arthur L. Trester, commissioner of athletics for Indiana hi,h schools, and members of the board of control will gather at Indianapolis Friday to draw the schedules for the sectional. regional, semifinal and final tourneys. —oOo- - The schedules, however, will not be released until Saturday morning. Schedules for both the Fort ' Wayne and Bluffton sections will be received by special phone in this office, and should he available not later than 9 a. tn. Saturday. —oOo — Catholic high school teams of the state have completed their regular schedules, and are undergoing polishing practice sessions this week to work into the best possible condition for the annual state Catholic tourney, which will open Friday afternoon at the Central gym in Fort Wayne. —oOo — The Commodores, Decatur's hopes in the state meet, will not see action in the tourney until 3:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon, when the Commies will battle the winner of the Cathedral of Indianapolis and St. Mary's of Michigan game, which will be played Friday afternoon. Barring a major, and wholly unexpected upset, the Commodores' foes will be the lads from the capital city. In view of this fact, a little information concerning the Cathedral squad would not be amiss. Cathedral has a veteran team, with all five members of the starting lineup listed as seniors, and four of these five have had three years experience on the Cathedral varsity. Two of these five are 5 feet, 11 inches tall, one six feet, one six feet, one inch and the other six feet, two inches. Cathedral, after winning only one game in the early part of the season. has come fast in recent weeks and has been named one of the favorites for the state title. Included in Cathedral's victims for this season are Tech of Indianapolis. Manual of Indianapolis, Green- < field. Noblesville, Southport and Franklin. —oOo — No announcement has been made i as yet regarding possible broadcasting of the Catholic tourney, • Tourney officials are willing to i permit broadcasting of the games, but radio officials report inability to find a sponsor. Decatur’s Yellow Jackets will wind up their regular schedule Friday night, entertaining the Berne Bears on the Decatur court. The Bears have scored two victories over the Jackets this season, in a regularly scheduled contest, and in the consolation tilt at the annual New Year's Day tourney. Results of tonight's tilt at Kirkland between the Kangaroos and Panthers from Petroleum will be watched with interest in both Adams and Wells counties, as a possible preview to the sectional tourney at Bluffton, in which the nine Wells county quintets and seven from Adams county will compete for sectional honors. Last week, the Kangaroos handed the Lancaster Bobcats a trimming at the Lancaster gym, and we note that last night, the Bluffton Tigers were forced to the limit to defeat this same Lancaster team, 20 to 19. on the Bluffton floor. The Geneva-Monmouth game, announced earlier this week for Friday night, will be played at the Monmouth gym Saturday night, instead of Friday. Geneva and Pleasant Mills will clash at the Commodore gym Thursday night. Friday night games, besides the DecaturBerne clash, are Monroe at Kirkland and Hartford at Chester Center. —oOo— Wells Co.

BAYS TALKS AT (CUN 1 INI ED FROWJFAJUJ2SSI founding of the Democratic party back to Its first two great leaders. Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. He said this was the oldest political party in the country. Mr. Bays then quoted figures showing the progress the last two Democratic administrations have made in the improvement of the conditions of the people of Indiana. He said the next campaign must be one of truth and must be carried back to the people because of the preponderance of Republican papers in the state. At the time McNutt took office, he had on his desk $7,000,000 in unpaid bills left over from the last administration, and no money with which to pay them. On January 1. 1938. he said, the state had a cash balance of $30,000,000 and no debts.' Mr. Bays said the balance had j been obtained in spite of reduc-1 tions made in the total amount of taxes from all taxing units in the state. This year, he said. S7OO will lie paid back to the schools for each teaching unit. This will result in a savings to local communities of about $14,000,000. With the money sent as school aid. the total to be sent back to the local governments will be $17,000,000 for school purposes. He complimented the state bank-1 fng law. which is preserving the money now being saved. He said | th? state has eliminated child labor and sweat shops. He told of the . money being sent back for the aid of tlie aged, crippled and blind. The Indiana highway department | has more miles of improved road 1 under its jurisdiction now than any i other state in the union, he said. | He told of the dramatic meeting of 1 Governor Townsend with the heads of the steel companies of the Calumet district under the Demo-

Feb. 23.--|(U.R) 1 —lndiana business conditions con-1 jtinued to decline during January.' !the Indiana University bureau of ! business research's publication, the Indiana Business Review, reported today. "There was some spotty im- 1 , provement in a few industries and : commodity markets in January ' but In general there was nothing to indicate that a general forward ‘ movement was imminent, the re- ! view declared. The bureau's weighted index of Indiana farm prices declined from 96.4 in December to 90.2 in JanuI ary. Wholesale commodity prices fell slightly and the cost of living declined 1.3 per cent. "Farm income in December was moderately below that of November and substantially below that of December. 1936," the publication , said. "Toatl farm income for the year was 7.6 per cent over that of 1936. Live stock receipts fell off 0.8 per cent." “Steel activity opened the month at 22 per cent of capacity and was at 27 per cent of capacity at the end of the month.

Total employment fell off 12 per cent from mid December to mid January. Weekly pay rolls were reduced 18.6 per cent during this period.
