COLUMBUS FIVE HARD DRIVING, SHOOTING TEAM Bulldogs To Meet South Side Archers In State Tourney Tilt (Editor’s note: This is the second of a series of state finalists.) Ry Bernard Crandell, (UP. Staff Correspondent) Columbus. Ind.. Mar. 23. (U.R) If the bonfire flickers tip nt Fifth and Franklin here Saturday the feverish crowd awaiting nows of the state tourney will break into a roar "the Bulldogs have won." The bonfire has signalled 20 victories this year for Coach George Boot's basket-busters and almost 10.000 people will bo ready to touch off another should Columbus win its first game of the state finals at Indianapolis Saturday afternoon. South Side of Fort Wayne is the opponent. Some think the South Side Archers will halt the powerful Bulldog tourney drive which flashed through the Anderson Indians. 1937 state champion, and Greencastle, 1 in the semi finals. The Bulldogs, however, aren't worrying. They faced the Indians — and gave them buck fever. They met Greencastle, and spiked the Cub threat in the last quarter with a great exhibition of courage and sharpshooting. Although Johnny Boyd, the allstate forward with the convict I haircut, has been their scoring champ —and led semi final scorers with 29 points last Saturday—the others don't always depend on his 13-point average to carry them through. Bud Prewitt, rangy forward, has played with Boyd ever since they ware big enough to hold a basketball and for four years of high i school play the Boyd-Prewitt com- | bination has been one of the tough- ■ est in the state. Bill Hayworth and Jim McKinney are the big guns of the defensive ■J«MMlli|Li!l— HI.W. WIH' ~IIT~

LANDIS RULES AGAINST CARD FARM SYSTEM Nearly 100 Players Owned By Cardinals Made Free Agents Belleair. Fla.. March 23—(U.R) - Judge K. M. Landis, high comI missioner of baseball, today* destrayed the tie-tip between the' St , I Louis Cardinals ami some of its | 1 minor league baseball clubs. Landis made free agents of nil I but one player on the Cedar Hap ■ ids. la., club in the Three- Eye I league lb* said that players on j four other minor league teams «b- --, tained by them directly or indirectly through St lamin and Cedar! ' I’apids also should be declared , free agents. In acting against the- Cardinals ‘ :cnd their far flung farm system i known in baseball circles as the-. "St. Louis chain-gang''v — Landis I said in a seven page decision: "The fundamental indispensable j basis in every team's operation, both major and minor, is the tinquestionable integrity to competi-l lion within the league. Obviously l doubt of that must arise if players of two or more clubs competing in the same league are controlled by the one organization or the- power exists thereby to regulate and control competition of those clubs.” Baseball men believe the CardinI als have a working agreement with I Cedar Rapids. la., whereby the | Cards control players in many , , minor leagues. Landis, after a sweeping investigation, has tried ] to break up that purported com- , bine. It is no secret that Landis L long has been opposed to the Cardinal system. ( James F Howard was the only Cedar Rapids player not declared j ■i free agent. In view of the fact j [ that the baseball season opens in j a few weeks "the commissioner 1 desires that Cedar Rapids continue | to operate if it so desires,” Landis said. He said that Cedar Rapids play- j ers could sign with that team for . 193 S if they desired. lajndis did not say how many , players in the five minor leagues | the Three Eye league, the Missouri- ( Arkansas league, the Northern league, the Nebraska State league ( and the Northeastern Arkansas ( league—were affected. , He said a full list of those who j will lie made free agents would be j published soon. The teams involved. in addition to Cedar Rapids, are Newport in the Missouri-Ar-kansas league: Crookston. North- , •rn League: Mitchell. Nebraska League, and Fayetteville, North eastern Arkansas League. Cedar Rapid < reputedly had ; working agreements with those , clubs but was reported to have , cancelled them because the Card- ( inals also had agreements with other teams tn those leagues. That apparently was the tie-up Landis struck at. Landis said that Cedar Rapids from now* on would not be permitted to make working agreements with St. Louis or its affiliates or in any league where St. ' Ixmis has a club. "The players covered up by this i process," lamdis said, “are entitled . to and must have free agency beI cause of a violation of their rights md because the St. Louis-Cedar ! Rapids combination cannot profit from their illegal conduct.” The decision was given out by I Leslie O'Connor, secretary to LanI dis. Landis was not available tor I comment. The d -cislon said that fines were to be h vied on several chibs SS6S.(H) against Cedar Rapids; SSBO against Sacramento in the I’acifie Coast league and SI,OOO against the Springfield, Mo , club. Tin- exact reason these fines were levied was not given. Branch Rickey, head of the St Louis organization, was reached by telephone in St. Petersburg but he had nothing to say. “I have not been advised of the judge’s decision and when I have received full particulars. I probably will hare a statement.” Rickey said. The number of players expected to be affected by the decision, it ! was believed, might reach 100. — 0 TRUSTEE RACES — ' cqvttx'l s;r> >■ kow ra w on ft, I Johnson seeks the Republican nomiI nation with William Adang as the j Democratic candidate.

I « ♦ Today’s Sport Parade By’Henry McLemore Bradenton. Fla.. March 23 <U.R) —lt was a mighty pretty setting. for a comeback. The sun was big and warm. The sky was a dazzling blue, and thou-' sands of the folk who knew and liked him, and were pulling for him. filled the friendly little | stands and spilled out into the playing field. Only one thing was missing to; make it a perfect day for Paul , (Daffy) Dean, and (hat was that; Paul (Daffy) D.-an didn't have any-! thing to make a comeback with. Even those first two innings, | when the Boston Bees didn't get a run off him. didn't fool anyone. Paul wasn't the Same Paul who came bounding up from the bushes l in 1934 to win 19 games and then' "fog" the hall past the Detroit Tigers for two victories in the wot Id series. His fast ball, a smoker, was his money ball then, just us it was in ' 1935. when he won 19 more. He j hadn't made more than three or four throws yesterday when it became obvious that his arm injury I had cost him his pay pitch. All he ( had was a slow, side arm curve, 1 and was delivered with timidity. You could aimer*, leei aim worry! every time he wound up and let the hall go. But it was the third inning that revealed his helplessness. The Bees butchered him that inning, hitting everything he threw up to the plate for nine runs. He had little or nothing on the ball. In the old days, before his arm went lame, he met troubles by rearing ba< k and throwing it past the batters. He didn't throw a single hard one against the Bees. When the side finally was retired. I slipped out of the press box and followed him to the clubhouse. It was empty when we reached it j and Paul, sort of sagging all over, slumped down on the bench in front of his locker. He sat for a moment and then started taking oft his dirty uniform. very slowly, like a man dead tired after a day of hunting Watching him, I remembered his big days. When it was Daffy and Dizzy this, and Daffy and Dizzy that. When every kid wanted his autograph. When he could and did hold out for fat contracts. When th pay checks zipped in like his fast one, and everything was bright and rosy. Now. there he sat on a bench. His comeback a failure. No contract of any kind. Through for good, perhaps, at 26, just when he should be coming to his peak. Just a big country boy from Texas, who never was daily, but got called that just because we sportswriters had to have something alliterative for Dizzy. Never did anything daffy in his life. Just a quiet plodding fellow who liked *to be left alone. It was Paul yho broke she silence. He looked up. and remembering me from last spring when I "tried out" with the Cards, said: "Durn, I'm tired.” 1 asked him if his arm hurt him —if the bothersome kink came back. "No, it just got tired. Awfully plum tired. I couldn’t hardly wind it up it was so worn out.” Did he think the strength would come back? "Don't know. Can't tell. Sho’ wish it would, though.” (Copyright 1938 by United Press) 0 DISTRICT MEET tcontiNiti f>j f *y_r ‘5: R chapters.

Jackson declared that “if any of these charges (against Morgan) Is established, the power of removal ought to exist." “The Tennessee Valley Authority.” Jackson said, "being an executive agency, performing executive functions, and therefore in the executive branch of the government. the power of removal ought to be in the president.” Jackson cited the two supreme court cases in which the president's power of removal has been tested—the Myers case, decided in 1924 in which the late President Woodrow Wilson's right to remove i from office a postmaster was upheld and the Humphrey case or 1935 in which President Roosevelt's tight to remove a member of the federal trade commission was denied. Morgan In Chicago Chicago. March 23 — (U.R) — Dr. Arthur E.

On: 1 of the friends, he said, is Edwin H Castle, a Chicago attorney and a trustee of Antioch (O.) college, which Morgan headed Irefore taking the TVA post. He revealed he has not received official notification of his removal front President Roosevelt yet. He said he had received a telegram ' from the White House notifying him that a letter from the preai-J dent containing the notification had been mailed to him. "I told the president when I talked with him that I did not consider my resignation to be in the nublic interest at tihs time,” Morgan added. Morgan told more than a "score of newsmen whom he called to a press conference at his hotel after ( earlier avoiding them that he felt it “inappropriate" to discuss the matter of his removal by President Roosevelt at this time. “Are you going to ignore the C'USter. doctor?" he was asked. !
