Underdogs To Seek Further Net Triumphs Indianapolis. March 9—(UP)— ThS underdogs will set out Saturday to prove that the little teams can still keep up with the city slickers in the Indiana high school basketball tourney. Three “people's choice" teams are still in the running—Summitville. Jefferson Twp. and Brookston. Observers hoped that at least one of them would succeed in reaching next week’s state finals. The Indianapolis semi finals will be the principal testing ground of the little hig-shots. There. Attica's Red Ramblers go against Lawrenceburg and Summitville against high-riding Madison. That session brings together the three most offensive-minded outfits in the first two weeks of tourneyplay—Madison, Summitville and Lawrenceburg. Madison hasn’t been extended yet in the tourney. But neither has Summitville, one of the surprises of this year's schoolboy hardwood hysteria. For a school with an enrollment of 136, Summitville has earned the respect of its tourney foes. The Goblins proved their class last week when they scooted through the Indianapolis regionals. They’re confident that they can go further. “This looks like the year for the little fellow," said Summitville coach Paul Bradford. “We aim to show the bigcity folks we play quite a bit of basketball in the country." The backboard antics of six-foot-two Jim Stone who also is a menace from around the foul circle, and the sniping of Carl Baker and Earl Jackson are well remembered Attica got its tourney baptism a couple of months ago in the twoweek Wabash valley session, winning seven games before bowing to Monroe City in the finale. Seven of coach “Red” Lambert's boys have been playing basketball together since they were in the sixth grade in 1942. Four others played on Attica's Undefeated grid team last fall. Lambert also has expressed confidence that his boys can go places in this year's state tourney. Sparked by six-foot-two Jack McDermond and five-foot-ten Harold Van Dame, the Ramblers averaged nearly 56 points through sectional and regional competition—not far behind Lawrenceburg and Summitville. Madison was the sbootingest team with a pre-game average of 66. For Summitville this is the first semifinal experience. Attica

hasn’t been there since 1929. Madison and Lawrenceburg were at Butler last year, Madison losing to Anderson in the night game. Os the four, Madison got closest to the IHSAA crown, bowing to Washington in 1941. Coach Ray Eddy has a powerful machine, led by Dee Monroe and Spence Schnaitter. Lawrenceburg still has Jerry Gordon from last year's oncebeaten team, and good balance. Only two alternatives appeared r- likely in such fast company. Either s they'll try to out run one another, y or each club goes into the fracas 1 with orders to play a cautious, controlled and deliberate game. s United Press Picks All-Big Nine Team f Chicago. March 9—(UP)— Tai--1 ent on Big Nine basketball teams this year was so well balanced ■ that western conference coaches picked an eight-man all-conference squad from six schools in their annual balloting to select the United Press honor team. Only first place Illinois, winner of 10 of 12 league games, and second place Minnesota, which won nine out of 12 contests, were able to place more than one man. The fighting Illini, who rolled to a new Big Nine scoring record of 783 points, had captain and forward Dwight Eddleman, a sparkplug for the champions, and guard Bill Erickson, another speedy consistent player. For the Gophers it was a sensational sophomore, forward Meyer “Whitey" Skoog, and center Jim Mclntyre, second highest scorer in the league who makes the squad for the third consecutive year. Other members honored 1 were Dick Schnittkqj. Ohio State forward. Don Rehfeldt, Wisconsin center, Howard Williams, Purdue guard, and Bob Harrison. Michigan guard. Mclntyre and Harrison were the only repeaters. Harrison made the team last year as the standout defensive man on the champion Michigan quintet. Five of the eight players will be back for at least another yeai of collegiate competit'on. Only Eddieman. a star ir. football and track as well as basketball. Mclntyre and Harrison are seniors. Skoog. who plt.yed three years of top flight navy basketball before he enrolled at Minnesota, has two rears of competition remaining v- hiie the other four have o"e yeai left. Scoring the coaches bale is a' two points for a first team choice and one for a sea nd team position, h was a close nice all the wat, and the eight men picked m the squad stood far above all others mentioned.

Baseball Faces Legal Crisis In Two Suits I New York. March 9 — (UP) — , Organized baseball, facing# what could be a fight for life in its current form, was ordered today to explain in federal court its reasons for not restoring pitchers Max | Lanier and Fred Martin to active I duty immediately with the St. Louis Cardinals. The "show-cause" order, which baseball must answer next Tues- ; day, was one of three sledgehamImer blows aimed at the present structure of baseball by the pair of suspended card hurlers. While top baseball executives like president'ciark Griffith of the ; Washington Senators expressed : confidence that the national game Lwould survive its newest legal test, there was no denying that a court [ decision favoring the two players I would rock baseball from top to bottom. In addition to the “show cause" order. Lanier and Martin also filed i suit for triple damages of $2,500,000. They asked the court for a permanent injunction which would keep them off baseball's suspended list and guarantee that their player contracts would not contain eitner the famous "reserve clause" or a “termination clause." Besides these charges, John L. i Flynn, attorney for Lanier and Martin, poised the threat of more suits j to come. Asked whether he was I readying suits on behalf of other suspended players. Flynn said: “There will be more." Lanier and Martin, each under: a five-year suspension meted out to them by baseball commissioner ■A. B. (Happy) Chandler tor “jumping" to the Mexican league in 1946,: said they were anxious to get back in the game because they are in a i tough financial situation. Both indicated they would like; i to go back to the Cardinals with | whom they would “just as soon play I as with anyone else." Federal judge John Clancy sign-j ed the "show-cause" order yester-1 ' day giving baseball one week to j reply. i As far as their suit is concerned, | baseball must answer within 2t) days. Attorney Flynn submitted a, 51-paragraph brief, and all-import-ant paragraph 47 charged that: "The defendants (organized baseball’s top officials) have — engaged. knowingly and coutinously, in i a wrongful and unlawful conspiracy! defendants — have denied and conmerce among the states in viola1 tion of sections of the Sherman and 1 Clayton anti-trust laws— and tne defendants — have deied and continue to deny the plaintiffs herein the opportunity to earn a livelihood in their profession and are causing the plaintiffs — progressively greater irreparable damage. This damage, it was claimed, of Martin and $506,000 in the case . of Martin and 1500,000 in the case . of Lanier. Thus, triple damages for Martin would be $1,000,000 and for 1 i.anier $1,506,000. In their complaints the players i charged they turned to offers from the Mexican league after getting “shabby treatment" in the way of ' r pay from the Cardinals and be-

FLAW REMAINS (Cont. From Pago One) plenty of work left. Among measures still in the legislative process was one increasing workmen’s and occupational disease compensation to $23.16 per week, and the "second injury” fund bill, endorsed by both labor and management. But the. $25 for 25 -weeks unemployment compensation bill was scheduled to join the direct primary on the scrap heap barring a lass-minute compromise which appeared unlikely. After the senate Monday night refused to approve a' compromise which would have assured passage of the direct primary, Baker charged a “political connivance” between both major parties to defeat the primary. Yesterday while the lawmakers sat and waited, Baker announced he would not sign the budget report unless he got favorable action on the primary. For hours there were behind-the-screens attempts to dissuade him. Finally, governor Schricker call-
