Jim Me Infyre Leads Scorers in Conference Chicago, Jan. 28 —(UP) —Minnesota’s Jim' Me Intyre, all Big Nine basketball center last season and second in the individual scoring race, was making a strong bid today to win the point-making championship this year and probably repeat on the all conference squad. Lanky Jim, 6 feet 9% inches tall, held first place in the individual scoring list in lioth total points and averages, with a record o( 128 counters in five games for an average of 25.6. Previously he had trailed Murray Wier of lowa in total points as the slim Hawkeye ace had played in more games. Last weekend, however, lowa w’as idle and Minnesota lost to Indiana. The Hoosiers put a tight guard around the gigantic Gopher and whipped the northerners, but Mclntyre still popped in 20 points. He hit on an even dozen of 17 attempts from the free throw line, and made four field goals. But he had only 12 attempts at the basket, so his shooting average was still good. The score of points which Me Intyre nabbed against Indiana was his second poorest of the league season. Earlier Michigan held him to 16 points at Ann Arbor, | but in his other three contests ] he hit for 29 at Wisconsin, and 26 against Illinois and 36 against lowa at Minneapolis. Despite Me Intyre’s high average, Wier was staying close to him. The lowa sharpshooter was ( second in total opints with 120 and ’ in the average with 24. And he j and Me Intyre were the only men j in the circuit able to better the mark of 20 points or more per | game. < Bobby Cook, Wisconsin’s top ] marksman who won the individual scoring race last season with 187 points, was third in total 1 points with 93 for seven games, i but his average of 13.3 per game 1 was sixth. Team statistics showed that the tailend Ohio State team, winners ! of only one in five games, was the J top offensive five with an average ! of 56.2 points per game. But the Buckeyes also were the poorest defensive team and their oppon- ! ents have averaged 62 markers per contest. . Indiana, another team with more league defeats than victories, was second in scoring with an average of 56 points per game while lowa

Swimming Record Is Set By Bob Foley Bob Foley, student at East Tech high school in Cleveland,o., and a nephew of Mr. and Mrs. Hansel Fol- , ey of Preble, set a new national p record of 1:02.2 in the 100-yard back-stroke swimming event as his high school team won the Cleveland I swimming meet last Saturday. 5 Young Foley, who is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Foley, clipped two } seconds off the former national t mark. He has been swimming for t several years and has achieved an enviable record in swimming meets I for his school. The Cleveland newspapers carried photographs of ’ young Foley, following his record breaking swim. —o Organized Baseball Sued By Gardella ; New York, Jan. 28 —(UP) i Dangerous Danny Gardella, who used to provide ware-time comedy relief with his outfield acrobatics at the polo grounds, came back to play a deadly-serious role today with a $300,000 lawsuit which he said he would take to the U. S. supreme court if necessary. Gardella is angry with all of organized baseball which he charges has deprived him of making a livelihood. He was one of the many major league ball players who jumped to the Mexican league in 1946. He returned to the United States but he could not return to the New York Giants because baseball commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler had placed an automatic five-year suspension on all Mexican league jumpers. Gardella, through his attorney, charged in federal court yesterday hat his suspension was in violation of federal anti-trust laws. He claimed he would be a major league star today, had it not bften for his “unlawful suspension.” Gardella named as defendants the officials of the Giants, commis- j sioner Chandler, presidents Ford i Frick and Will Harridge of the I national and American leagues, and commissioner George Trautman ofj minor league baseball. After studying arguments presented by both sides, judge John Bright announced he would reserve decision until he has a chance to study additional evidence. Both sides have prepared lengthy briefs. It was expected he would announce his findings in about a month. Mark F. Hughes, the defense counsel, told the court that baseball had been declared by a 1922 U. S. supreme court ruling to be a sport, neither in interstate trade nor commerce. Therefore, he said, there could be no violation of antitiust laws. —o— Labor day in the United States was first celebrated by the Knights of Labor in 1882. It was made a legal holiday by Congress in 1894.
