HAMMOND FIVE FAVORITES FOR TOURNEY TITLE ('het Kessler’s Wildcats Favored To Take State Tourney < Editors note: This is the last of a series on state finalists.) Ry Bernard Crandell (United Preus Staff Correspondent) Hammond. Ind.. March 25—-(UP) For the first time in Indiana basketball history Hammond’s driving wildcats are favorites to win the rtate tournament. They'll pull into Indianapolis late this afternoon to rest over-1 ight In the city where more than 100,000 tans—lndiana’s most rabid tomorrow will see a Champion crowned among four high school teams. Hamriond. Columbite. South Side of Fort Wayne and Redford will start action tomorrow afternoon on the Tutler Field house court. The big northern team faced a murder’s row in the regional and semi-final and La Porte. Emerson. Rochester and Frankfort were methodically chopped down. The records of those teams left their power unquestioned: the slicers —the most dangerous in the eastern di' ieion; Emerson—survivors of the big Gary sectional: Rochester —A 1937 semifinal champion that beat Hammond last year; and Frankfort—co-cham-pion of the North Central and coached by one of the best in the state. Hammond mowed through the field, and in a manner which left r.o doubt as to which quintet was superior, on the thresh-hold of fame the wildcats, if they win. will be tne first team north of Logansport ever to take the title. The opening game of the finals tomorrow at 2 p. m. is Hammond vs. Bedford.

The boys think they detect a slight mellowing of Joe, I Medwick. He hasn't swung on anybody yet this spring and spends hours sitting around his room readI ing. letters from home. There’s a ! new member of the Medwick men- ! age weight eight and one-half 1 pounds, and Joe is almost certain ■ lie isn’t a left hander. Joe Cronin of the Red Sox thinks he’ll finish no worse than fourth this year, and predicts a notch higher than that if he can uncover ( oue young pitcher capable of winning 10 games. Joe, himself, hasn’t been hitting the size of his sun bonnet so far. Dolf Camilli. new member of the Brooklyns. arrived in camp at Clearwater with a car full of children and made a hit with the assembled photograph ers by adopting any pose you can think of. He seemed happy to be with the Dodgers, and that's news, latrry MacPhail, who had his little I differences with Judge latndis in the recent bygone at Cincinnati, [ knew the judge was preparing to pop down on the Cardinals days ago. and said so. Only nobody took him very seriously. None of the clubs in Florida has lost a day from training yet. and the Cincinnati Reds already have denied four reports that they will desert Tampa for lantiriar.a o' Texas next spring Don’t snicket. because the way these Redlegs are looking under fightin' Will McWechnie right now they’re likely to get a sheaf of invitations next winter. The Yankees expect to hear from Joe Dimaggio any day now. Joe McCarthy has his center field job ! waiting for him, whenever he makes up his mind to take those $25,000. Nobody's worried about it. any more than they’re in a dither about winning another American League flag As cocky a crjw as ever you saw. —One team that’s failed to attract the pennant Dickers so far: Washington. Even with Zeke Bonura on first, the | Senators still have too many lefthand hitters in their line-up, and their pitching staff lacks the necessary class —Casey Stengel, who’s gone serious, resents a report that the Cardinals are about to trade | him out of his star catcher.
