REDSKINS ARE TRACK CHOICE North Side Has Opportunity To Win State Track Meet Saturday Indianapolis, May 19. — *U.R) — North Side of Fort Wayne is in an excellent position to grab the state prep track championship here Saturday and take home the city's second major athletic honor of the. year. Near the gigantic Butler field bourse, where South Side of Fort Wayne charged through for the Indiana cage title two months ago, the suite’s best high school trackmen gather Saturday for their 35th annual scrap. Trials begin at 10 a. m. and the finals- start at 1:30 p. m. Two races will be run in the 440. 880 and mile, each one counting for place points. Scoring will be 5, 4. 3. 2 and 1 in all events except the two relay races, in which places will county twice as much. The Northsiders will rely mainly upon those heavy points in the mile and 880 relays. They have two of the fastest quarters of baton tariiers in the state. Only Tech of Indianapolis and Horace Mann of Gary have poste dfaster times in the longer race, and it might easily be a blanket finish. There's none better than their four 220 men in the 880. Kemp, the rocketing half-miler, and Wyss, flashy 440 sprinter, undoubtedly will pick up points in their events, and Leakey has an even chance of copping the mile. Regedanz. North Side's field star, probably will place in the shot put or broad jump. A better combination to take the championship can t be found anywhere in the state. North Side has 14 men qualified. Spotted a step behind the Fort Wayne team are Froebel of Gary. Technical of Indianapolis. Hammond of Kokomo, the <!•? iidini; champion. Kokomo is almost sure of two firsts.

Defending champion Paul Des camps mets two top-flight Gary ’ athletes in the pole vault. They ' arc Brown of Froebel and DeStefano of Emerson. Both have clear- ! ed 12 feet 6 inches, an inch below the Kokomo star's best vault. The state record Is 12 feet 10. 1 Other records in danger are the 120-yard high hurdles and 440. 1 Egbert of Lew Wallace, Gary, has ' topped the sticks in 14.7 seconds. .2 second under the state mark. The only men close to Egbert are Williams of Muncie and Wilkinson of Broad Ripple. Indianapolis. The quarter mile will lie a dog- | fight. Dalrymple of Tech, who has | traveled the distance in 50.5 ami | is improving with every meet. Is conceded first and possibly will : shatter the record of 49.3. Other . outstanding 440 men are Pollett and Paplas of Hammond. Beck of New Albany. Pruett of Bedford. , Gray of Garfield. Terre Haute, and ' Truley of Corydon. Another speedy field will take I the marks in the dashes. Geiger of | New Richmond and Dinehart of Elkhart have taken the century in 10 flat, but the main worry is Piel of Shortridge. Indianapolis, who hasn't been defeated this season. Hardesty and Aparks of Bloomington and Darius of Wiley. Terre I Haute, might surprise the field. | The same men are in the furlong. !

DOG-FIGHT IN JUNIOR LEAGUE ■ Four Clubs In Battle Foi American League's , First Position 11 New York. May 19 (U.R) The j American league commanded at . I tention today with a ding dong dog r ' tight between four clubs for the ■ pacemaker's role now occupied by . ■ the Boston Red Sox. . 1 It's been so long since they’ve had a real "horse-race'’ in the Am- . erican league that it seems like a I typographical error when you look . ' at the standings and find the second place Cleveland Indianas only i 1 .013 percentage points behind the I Red Sox. the third-place New York I Yankees one game off the pace and ' the four place Washington Senators only a game and a half from ' the top. By contrast the fifth-place ChiI < ago White Sox are as close to the American league leader as the sec-ond-place Chicago Cubs are to the leading New York Giants in the National league. Each is s'-_. games 1 back. One day’s results can shuffle the j American league standings all 1 around. In the National league j the Giants dominate the situation I and the only close battles are beI tween the Cubs and Pirates for I second place, and the Reds. Cardinals and Bees for fourth place, a position those three clubs all share now at .500 per cent. Idleness because of wet grounds yesterday helped th** Red Sox hold sway in the American league at least a day longer. The three othl er first division clubs moved up I closer. | Cleveland, behind Bob Feller’s ! six-hit pitching, beat the Athletids. I 7-2. Feller fanned five and walked | eight to score his fifth victory ! against one defeat. The New York Yankees slugged ■ out an 11-7 victory over the St. ’ Louis Browns with Joe DiMaggio pacing the attack with two homers (Nos. 5 and 61 and a single to drive in five runs. Buck Newsom fanned six Yanks in a row to tie the American league record before his big eighth inning collapse. Washington snapped a four-game losing streak by winning from Detroit. 5-1. behind Wes Ferrell’s six- . hit pitching. Ferrell fanned Ruby York four straight times. The Chicago Cubs finally knock the Giants off after three straight defeats. Larry French and Charlie Root held the Giants to four hits, including homers by Joe I Moore and M p l Ott. The Cubs i made 10 hits off Carl Hubbell to I hand him his first defeat. The longest major league game of the season. 14 innings, was won by the Boston Bees. 2-1, over Pittsburgh. Gene Moore’s single. Pep Young’s error and Mueller's outfield fly produced the winning run. Jim Turner won his third game, allowing only five hits. The St. Louis Cardinals won their fourth straight, defeating Brooklyn 12-4. and moved into a fourth-place tie with the idle Reds and Bees. Yesterday’s hero: Babby Hartnett. Cubs’ 37-year-old catcher, who i hit a 470-foot double off the center field bleacher wall —said to be the hugest bal lever hit in the Polo grounds—to start the ninth inning rally which enabled Chicago to beat New York. 4-2. o BATTING LEADERS | Player Club GAB R H Pct.

MANAGERS TO CHOSE STARS Judge Landis Rules AllStar Players Will Be Named By Managers —— ■ — — Cincinnati, May 19.- ,(U.R) —Kenesaw M. Landis grumbled a *bit about the weather today and announced that each American and National league manager would have a voice in naming his circuit’s team for baseball s big show, the Juiy 6 all-star game at Cincinnati. The decision to give each manager a ballot followed criticism voiced last year when the rosters were chosen by Bill Terry of the National league Giants and Joe McCarthy of the Yankees. Terry and McCarthy, through having piloted their teams to pennants again last year, again lead the teams. Another decision reached today was removal entirely of the limit of six pitchers for each team. No hurler, it was decided, may w*ork more than three innings unless the game goes into extra innings. National league players will con- ' stitute the “home" team and reservations for tickets will be accepted beginning Monday. Regular "opening day" prices — I ranging from two dollars for box seats to GO cents for bleacherites —will prevail and the game starts 1 at 1:30 p. m. (EST) if postponed, it will be played the following day at 11:30 a. m. to permit resump- ■ lion of regular league schedules July 8. —o—- | Decatur Bowling League Results I • • MERCHANT LEAGUE Upholster Frisinger . 180 130 153 Brewer 147 169 166 IBorges 158 136 137 Stauffer 163 160 183 Murphy 125 161 144 Spot 6 6 6 Totals 782 762 789 Macklin Keller 172 157 142 J.

A dry hand will remove a protective covering of lubricant making the fish susceptible to attacks by bacteria. Do handle undersized fish gently and return them to the water carefully, so they will survive uninjured and provide better sport and more; food for some other angler—even if it isn't you. Do use barbies* hooks whenever you can. Such hooks provide better ‘ s,.ort and make it possible to return undersized fish to the water with I their mouths uninjured. Do observe creel and size limits. I Do watch for tagged fish and report them to the agency doing the tagging. Only in this way can move-i ments and growth rates be checked, to help improve your sport. Do watch your footing while wading. Even the best of swimmers are sometimes at a loss when hamper-' cd by heavy boots and clothing in | swift streams. Do study fishing streams and urge improvements. Do cooperate with your local game and fish agency in every way possible. Don’t venture into the woods i without a first aid .kit and a knowl-' edge of first aid in the outdoors. Don't be careless with fires or cigarettes. More than 90 per cent of. all forest fires in the United States are man-caused and. therefore, pre-, ventableo Attend Rummage Sale Sat. May 21.
