Minneapolis Lakers Win BAA Nel Title Minneapolis, April 14 — (UP) — Giant George Mikan was hailed today as basketball’s “super player" r for the way he ignored a wrist to lead the Minneapolis Lakers to the championship of the Bas- ' ■ ketball Association of America. ■ I The Lakers wrapped up the title • last night by beating the Washington Caps. 77 to 56, to win the final round of the playoffs,, four games 1 to two. Alikan was the whole works, just as he has been all season. With that fractured right wrist encased in tape, he slammed 29 points through the hoop although Washington always had two and sometimes three players guarding him. Big George was in there every minute of the game and the crowd . of 10,482 raised the roof in a mighty ovation when the buzzer sounded. Mikan, who broke his wrist in the fourth game of the series and has been carrying on since, scored a total of 2,001 points this year — ; almost certainly a professional basketball record. The Lakers laid claim to records 1 of their own as a team. In existence i only two years, they won the na- | tional basketball league title the j first year and now added the B. A.- \ A. in their first year in that loop. I Last year the Baltimore Bullets ! won the B. A. A. crown in their i first year. Mikan made himself felt at the; I start of the game by zipping in sev- : en straight points to give the Lak- [ ers a lead of 11 to 3 that they nev- ■ er lost. By the time the fourth period rolled around Minneapolis was in front by 21 points. Big Kleggie Hermsen, Washington center, led his team with 12 points. But Hermsen, Fred Scolari, and occasionally Bones McKinney of the Caps couldn’t hold down Mikan when the former DePaul uniThey tried hard, but the result They thied hard, but the result was that Mikan had 11 free throws to go with nine field goals for Ills total of 29 points. Henn Schaeffer was second highest scorer for the Lakers with 17 points. Leroy and Alien. Betz sawed the tree down so the handcuffs could be slipped free. • Trade In a Good Town — Decatur

$250,000 Fire Al Warsaw Last Night Feed Store Razed By Flames Wednesday Warsaw, Ind., Apr. 14—(UP) — Loss from a fire which de?tro"ed a feed store near the business district last night tats estimated today at ?250,000. The blaze broke (flit in a secondfloor cob bin at the Checkerboard Feed store, owned by the Ralston Purina Co. of St. Louis, Mo. It destroyed the two and one-half story building despite the efforts of firemen from 10 departments who fought the flames. Fire equipment was sent from Winona Lake, Bourbon, Culver, North Webster, Leesburg, Pierceton, Atwood, Etna Green and Chester Twp. (Wabash ebunty). Three houses were threatened at the height of the fire but firemen played streams of water on them and there was no damage.

Fireman Bruce Howe of the Winona Lake department was hit on the head by a falling ladder. But he was released from McDonald hospital after emergency treatment. A 350,000 metal building adja- ’ cent to the store and owned by the ' same firm was saved. The loss included feed grinding equipment and a large quantity of feed, hay and grain. RUSSIAN BLOC (Cont.
