BEDFORD HOPES TO COP STATE TOURNEY TITLE Stonecutters Avoid Usual Late Season “FadeOut" This Year (Editor's note: This is the first of a series on state finalists). — By Bernard Crandell. (UP. Staff Correspondent) Bedford. Ind., Mar. 22.— ,(U.R> — The usual “glorious fade-out”, didn't materialize this year and I the Bedford Stonecutters, with their greatest cage team in history, have decided to move out of Indianapolis next Saturday night with the state basketball crown. | In previous eaasons Bedford smashed through early opposition. | always with a promise of champ-; ionship honors.

ally cast dismally out of tourney competition. They wore good last year, but Martinsville rode over them. 3S to 22, Tn the first game of the semifinals. When the bombardment stopped last Saturday night nt Vincennes, the score at the end of two overtimes was Bedford 21; Martinsville 20. The white-clad boys had vowed to go to the state, and they now will meet Hammond in the first game at Butler field bouse Saturday afternoon. Their success this year might be I attributed to several things. Coach | Paul Ijostutter started practice last I fall three weeks later han ustual. i and sessions have been much shortJ er. This evidently overcame a tendency toward staleness which hit them before. John Torphy is the chief pointmaker. Torphy, a six-footer, has : uncanny accuracy on one-handed push shots. Such a shot from the side of the floor in the last seconds ‘of the Martinsville game added the necessary two points for victory. , He was chosen as forward on the I all-tate second team. Most of the 1 season a leg injury has slowed him down. The first string averages six feet -in height, with Eugene “Sy Perk- ' ins. red-headed center, six feet I three. Perkins is a master at pass- ' ing from fiTs pivot position and ! feeds the forwards breaking in or ! maneuvers an open shot for the guards. Bill Torphy, Owen Roberts and Rop Riggs alternate at the defense positions. Paired with John Torphy is either Charles Caress or Don McLeod, both of whom are six footers. McLeod is the only junior on the squad, the rest being seniors. The Stonecutters won't be unaccustomed to whipping outstanding teams when they meet Hammond. They’ve defeated New Albany. Huntingburg. Seymour. Jasper. and South Side ot Fort Wayne. The latter team, one ot the four finalists, was knocked off. 34 to 25. The Washington Hatchets upset Bedford's 11-game winning 1 streak at the start of the season in the Vincinnes old post tournament. 20 to 14. Most of the Stonecutters are good students, relieving Lostutter of worries over scholastic eligibil ities They are content with the training rules, which are brief and simple—no alcohol, tobacco or late hours, and eat the right food. Once or twice a year they have a big chicken dinner together and occasionally see the show in a body. The squad members hold every important school office. Bedford, as every other city with a semi-final champion, has gone basketball crazy. In a state whose reputation is based on an unusual basketball “madness.” any form of celebration is considered in good form. . . If tho city’s 13,000 odd citizens can get tickets, they'll forget their i quarrys and go to Indianapolis this weekend, hoping the young chips off the old block will place the Indiana cage crown at the heart of the limestone region. o — Young’s All-Stars Defeat G.

CARDINALS A MYSTERY NINE Only Two Positions Are Filled Definitely in Cards’ Lineup St. Petersburg, Fltu, March 22 (U.R) Page Houdini, Cnrdilll and Thurston. Set up communications with the spirit world and get out the crystal ball. Today we are in the camp of the St. Louis Cardinals. If ever there was a polyglot collection of ball players, good, bad and indifferent, in a baseball camp, they can be seen any day here in Waterfront Park. There are from 40 to 60 of them — nobody knows who belongs to the Cardinals or one of the farm chibs and even .Manager Frankie Frisch has to I yell "Hey, you." to some of the boys he doesn’t know. It may be said without fear of contradiction that Joe Medwick I will play left field for the Cardinals and that Johnny Mize will hold) down first base. After that, brother. you are on your own. barring of course the pitching staff, which seems at this time to be more than promising. Indeed, the Cards’ chain gang may have turned up a couple of rookie southpaw sensations in gawky Max Macon and Max Lanier. Irnth from the Columbus American association club. The catching staff is a joke, with Mickey Owen, one of the most overrated youngsters ever to hit the big top. as the No. 1 man. Behind him are Don Padgett, with whom the Cards hope to do a “Rudy York" by converting him from the outfield. Mike Ryha, an ex-pitcher, and Herb Bremer from a class D league Mize's playmates in the infield may not be known even to Frisch until the season opens. He hopes Stu Martin's health will let him play second, that Don Gutteridge. a third baseman who played short late last season for the first time in his life, will learn how to play the short field before April 19. and that Art Garibaldi, who hit .327 at Sacramento, will plug the third base gap. These are merely Frisch's spring time hopes. It's 10-1 that Sam Breadon. Branch Rickey, and Frankie Frisch all put together couldn't pick the Cards' opening day lineup if they had Houdini. Cardin! and Thurston, a trio of pretty slick boys in their time, helping them. Besides the four infielders mentioned, eight others are around to complicate the infield situation. The outfielder proble*i isn't so acute. Medwick, the National league's batting champion and most valuable player, will play left and Enos Slaughter, who batted .384 to lead the American Association in hitting and who is called the prize package of the 1938 training season, will play right. The center field job will be divided between Pepper Martin, who'll probably play about 100 games, and Terry Moore, who hopes to improve his 267 batting average. Frenchy Bordagaray and John Hopp, a .307 hitter from Rochester, are tabbed for the utility outfield jobs. That brings us to ol’ Diz. It hasn't been a pleasant spring for Dizzy Dean. He had his salary trimmed down to a reported $15,000 (with a bonus clause) and he's been plagued by a mean spring cold. But if the Cards go. you can bet of Diz will go too and cop anywhere from 20 to 28 games. If the Cards flop, ol’ Diz will fold up with 'em. He just isn't built to pitch for a loser. o * • At the Training Camps I By United Press • • White Sox Pasadena, Cal..
