DASKjmWI.Firing will open on 64 basketball courts of the state Thursday night, with play opening in the 1 sports classic of Indiana, the annual state high school basketba.l marathon. —oOo---Interest of Decatur fans is centered solely on the clash at 8 o’clock Thursday night at the South Side gym in Fort Wayne between the Decatur Yellow Jackets and Monmouth Eagles. This will be the secand game of the tourney, and will be preceded at 7 o’clock by the South Side-Huntertown game. —oOo — Basketball fans planning to attend the Fort Wayne sectional are warned to purchase season tickets. These tickets, good for the entire touiney. are priced at $1.50. Single session tickets are 35 cents, but it is highly doubtful if any single session tickets will be on sale at the South Side gym. Demands for season tickets have been so heavy, that the gym’s seating capacity will be taken with season ticket ; holders. —oOo— W. Guy Brown, Decatur high i school principal, stated today that a number of season tickets have been sold here and urged fans 1 wishing to see the Decatur-Mon-1 mouth clash to purchase season - ducats. The tickets will be on sale all day Thursday at the high school office, but none will be available after Thursday afternoon. —oOo — Doping the Bluffton sectional, with nine Wells county and seven Adams county teams entered, apparently has friend Buck, composer of Out-Of-Bounds in the Bluffton News-Banner, in a dither. He quotes a critic in the Parlor City I to the effect that Bluffton is his first pick, then protects himself by listing any one of several things which might happen. Well, Buck, we’d hate to hazard a guess ourselves. so go to it. —oOo — Picking the South Side Archers to cop sectional honors at Fort Wayne seems like one of those “sure thing’’ bets. Meeting weak teams in the first and second rounds, the Archers will meet the Decatur Yellow Jackets in the semi-finals, (if the dope is not upset), with

players for the summer pennant campaign. Pop Anson, manager of the old Chicago Nationals, originated the training camp idea In 1886 when he took his pennant winners to Hot Springs, Ark., to work off poundage that had accumulated during the win* ter layoff.

Chicago, Mar. 2.—<U.P>—One hundred and sixty amateur boxers from 46 cities, survivors of the first ' two rounds of fighting, will enter i the third and quarterfinal rounds iof the 11th annual golden gloves tournament of champions tonight at the Chicago stadium.

Frank Kainrath. Chicago bantamweight, who captured his first two | fights easily, is the only defend- : ing champion in the tournament. He will fight twice. Verle Davis. Kankakee. 111., fighting in the Joliet district, is top favorite in the lightweight class. Claimed as one of the stoutest punchers in this division, Davis won his first two fights with two first round knockouts. Francis Shoulderblade, Okla- ; homa City, one of the most colorful fighters in the tournament, outboxed Tony Novak, Kansas City heavyweight, to win the decision and stamp himself as threat for the heavyweight crown last night.
