ARCHERS BEAT MUNCIE TO WIN TOURNEY CROWN 1 -— — South Side Wins, 37-33; Ham in o n d ('nines Through To Victory Indianapolis. Mar. 21. (U.R) The mighty northern front of state basketbull charges into the solid south here next Saturday in the finals of the state cage tournament. Hammond and South Side of Fort Wayne represent the north: Bedford and Columbus the down- ] state quintets. Never before in the history of IHSAA tourney competition has the central section of Indiana been tossed completely out in semi-final play. Frankfort. Muncie and Anderson — north central conference teams —dropped their roles of state favorites as hard-driving, sharpshooting fives rocked them with upsets. The semi-final champions are, played so that the north meets the south in the first round games. Hammond chooses Bedford and South Side takes on Columbus, thus making possible a champion- j ship battle between teams of one region. Hammond's powerful Wildcats plowed through a heavy schedule | in the Lafayette tourney, taking I he crown by overwhelming Frankfort, 32 to 17. It was the widest margin of any final tilt and proved ' what the Wildcat crew could do ’ when keyed up against another i classy team. They barely edged past Rochester in the afternoon. 23 to 19. gaining revenge for their defeat in the final last year. George Sobek. all-state Hammond guard, was held to a lone basket hi the first scrap but slammed home 19 points in the titular bat- : tle ' Frankfort defeated Delphi. 2> to ' 14. in the other afternoon encount-i er. The upset of the 1937 champion. | the Anderson Indians, came unex-, pectedly. The aggressive Colum- ■ bus Bulldogs simply were better marksmen and the final score. 3S , to 36. was close only because the ' Columbus mastermind. George

Fla., Mar. 21. — (U.Rj — Baseball's most important opening day has always been' the | one in Washington where the i President, clutching a bag of pea-1 nuts in his left hand to give the | Democratic touch. throws out the i first ball with his right. This has 1 always been sure fire front page I stuff, even when the presidential] incumbent happened to be a states- j man whose throwing form was re-1 1 mindful of the captain of a girl's ' j volleyball team. But Washington is going to have i I to yield opening day honors this I I season, president or no president, because Joe Engel, the "Barnum of baseball." has set his heart on giving Chattanooga, Tennessee, the most amazing opening since' Abner Doubleday tore his pants I sliding into second base. Chattanooga will have no presi-1 dent present when its lookouts and the Nashville Volunteers open the Southern league race, but it will have a wild elephant hunt and an ostrich which, at a given signal, will run around the bases and lay | an egg on home plate. These plans were revealed to me today by Engel, the same man who decorated his park with live canaries two years ago, and who once traded a left-handed pitcher for a turkey. “The wild elephant hunt came to me in a dream," Engel said. ; "and I could scarcely wait to wake up so I could start making arrangements. Naturally, the first thing I had to get were the elephants. 1 Now as you know. Chattanooga is not the natural habitat of the elephant. It has been years since even one has been seen loose in those parts. "But I secured them, and right now they are tethered in a quiet part of the city, getting wilder by the minute.” 1 Engel, and he's quite serious ' about the whole thing, said the - baseball park would be converted into a jungle, with great trees, vines, tnoneksy. crocodiles, and the ■ like. i "To make the picture of wildness complete,” he said, “1 am going to set loose a half dozen or so of my rookie pitchers In the jungle, i then, at the proper time, the elephants will be led in and the natives sent out to capture them.” I asked if Chattanooga could provide a quota of savage bushmen. “If you don't think our town has a sufficiency of savages." Engel relied, "you should see the way | they behave when our club drops

He guessed it was just one of those dashes of genius that are unaccountable. He is having a bit of trouble ! with the ostrich. It will circle the .bases beautifully, and will lay the i eggs but only on third base. He 'has tried every means to get it to 'lay the egg at home, but to no ! avail. The Chattanooga club is likely ; to establish a minor league record I for attendance this year. The ele--1 phant hunt has created tremen- ] dous enthusiasm and Engel ex- ] peets an opening day crowd of , more than 16.000. Too, the Chatj tanooga team has 2,700 stockhold- ; ers. Engel invited me to a stockhold ers meeting. He said they were held out of doors where there was I plenty of room, and whre quite a I spectacle. ! “It's tough." he sighed.

There remained uncertainly as to the effects of Nazi policy toward Czechoslovakia and other central I European nations which now come I under the economic if not the po- I litical sphere of Hitler influence Most of them have been allied with i France. In official circles in Washington. I it was said that reassurances had been given that Hitler was interested only in persuading Czechoslovakia to grant equal rights to the German minority and that new legislation at Prague appeared to meet that demand. For the first time in many days, a lull in military activity in Spain gave that war-battered and divided 1 nation a brief respite. Great Britain invited the Vatican to join in a protest to the nationalist commanders against bombing ! unfortified towns. In the United I States 61 protestant bishops repre- I senting the Episcopal and Methodist Episcopal church in 36 states, urged the Catholic hierarchy to ] seek to influence Nationalist Gen- ! eral Francisco Franco to halt i bombing of civilians. Great Britain's position toward the peace of Europe continued indefinite as far as concrete action was concerned but Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was expected ■ to make a -formal statement of I policy this week. It was generally I believed he would emphasize Britj ain's intention to stay out of central Europe's troubles because the dominions would resent "meddling" in that area and because no vital ' British interests were involved. j
