Hartford city, and Milroy were the early morning winners In the finals of the State High School Basketball Championship tournament here today. The Gary lads triumphed ower Veedersburg, 35 to 13: Hartford City slid Washington out of the running in a 33-to-29 trouncing, and Milroy defeated Rldgevllle, 34 to 13. The second contest was the feature of the morning play, both teams fighting hard nil the way and holding the score to a close margaln Despite the fact that nine quintets were eliminated yesterday, the immense crowd continues to bold on and this morning *t was necessary to close the gymnasium doors oa hundreds of enthusiastic fans thirty minutes before the first gSrne warriors trotted out on the court. The Hartford City-Washington event was fast from whistle to whistle, and the fans were kept on fihetr toes during the thirty minutes of play. During the first period the score was knotted twice and the Hartford City lans went wild with Joy when the rest period’, arrived with their heroes leading. 14 to •ington came back strong in the second half and "tied the count for the third time, with less than five minutes to go. but the Hartford representatives opened up with a streak of passing that gave them their three-point win, just before the closing whistle sounded. Emerson displayed a won<ierful show of teamwork and passing to win from the Veedersburg quintet In the'flrst game n the morning card. The Gary team is the smallest that has tramped the tournament floor, but the youngsters are all speed and fight and the wow'd cheered thu wildly as they played circles around much larger opponents. The Sibley brothers, Robert and Fred, were the shining stars of the w-innlng combination on both the defense and offense each of them registering six times from the floor. Dunleavy also played a great game for the Gary quintet and had four field goals chalked up to his credit. Barkley and J. Hershberger starred for the Veelersblir" combination.
MILROY EASIXY BEATS RIDGEVILLE. Milroy had little trouble ■winning over the Ridgeville Jive In the final content on the morning schedule. The winners took the lead in the first two minutes of play and were never headed. At the close of the first half the Milroy crew held a 14 to 10 lead, due mostly to the wonderful playing of Osterlin, center. The winning players showed such wonderful form in the contest that their followers are confident of a victory over Hartford City In their scrap tonight. At the close of the first day of the tourney nine of the twenty-six teams had been shuffled into the discard. However, it was not according to advance dope that Martinsville should be one of the teams that would lose Its opening game. Qreencastle 20, Martinsville 16, was, of course, the surprise of the opening day of the tourney. It had been reported that Coach Smith had a fast bunch of husky young athletes, but few there were who believed that Martinsville would loose, but Martinsville did loose and therefore Greencastle looms as one of the favorites in the battle for the state championship. Greencastle was scheduled to meet South Bend at 3 p. m. today. South Bend eliminated Angola by a 27-to-12 score In its opening game Thursday. The victory shows that South Bend is strong, but Angola must have won Its sectional championship in a district where the teams were exceptionally weak. Anderson was given a much harder battle by Rochester than had been expected. Rochester is probably the strongest team from the far northern part of the' Rtate and the town has long been known as the home of good basketball teams. However, this season the central Indiana teams have shown ranch more strength than the far northern or extreme southern Indiana high schools. SPICELAND FIVE BOOKS CLASSY. “Watch Splceland” was the tip sent out late yesterday after Splceland had defeated Central High school of Evansville by a score of 31 to 14. AVhen Splceland played Franklin a close game two weeks ago the academy team at once became a central figure on the basketball map. The critics are not overlooking Spiceland. , Columbus bumped Kokomo, 18 to 6, and Jefferson High school of Lafayette trimmed Bloomington, 25 to 15. These results were expected. Jefferson and Columbus should furnish a good game when they clash at 2 o’clock today in the first of the second round contests of the tourney. NO T KOI'BI.E For FRANKLIN. Reports from Logansport, where Toung America won Its district championship, were that Coach Lowery had a fast team but the men were small. Any basketball fan who has seen Franklin High school in actiop knows well that no matter how fast a team Is, if the athletes are small, they can’t defeat Franklin. The Franklin team is composed of an unusually large set of athletes. Not only are they exceptionally large for high school men, but they are without a question one of the fastest combinations that ever went to a state meet. The team play of the Franklin quintet ! borders on perfection. The score, Franklin 43, Young America 15, was not a surprise. Young America just furnished i good scrimmage practice for Franklin, j During the present season, Normal ! High school of Terre Haute has been j winning its games regularly. Normal won the Wabash Valley tourney held at Clinton, ind., defeating the cream of wesffyn Indiana and eastern Illinois j high school teapjs. That was some weeks ; ago. Then, true to expectations. Normal 1 deefated all comers in the sectional tour- j ney a week ago. Normal put Hunting-

ton High school on the shelf last night, true to the advance dope, by a 20 to 12 score. Normal, however, was to meet the Franklin team at 5 o'clock this afternoon and it was doubtful whether or not Normal will have a chance to play Saturday, for Franklin appears to be the best team In the state tourney. BEDFORD RANKS WITH STRONGEST. Bedford 25, Lebanon 13, was another game that resulted about as expected. This year, Bedford has the best team in its history, while Lebanon Is far from being as strong as that school was in the years when Lebanon won the state championship, being represented by athletes who are today the best In th west, playing on college teams. At the close of the first day of the tourney eight teams remained that had not played their opening game, but by 2 o’clock this afternoon half of these eight were to have been tossed into the “has been” class and the four winners left to plan their attack for the games of She second round of the meet.

INDIANS READY FOR EPIDEMIC OF SORE JOINTS i Reach Petersburg Camp After Delay of Half Day in Jacksonville. , TAKE WORKOUT TODAY By EDDIE ASH. Sporting Editor The Times. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 12. Well, here we are fans. When St. Petersburg awoke this morning Us baseball population had been augmented considerably by the arrival of Jack Hendricks and his Indian vanguard. Owing to failure to make a train connection in Jackspnville yesterday the Tribesmen were held over until late iu the night for the last leg of the trip to the local training headquarters. Originally the Indianapolis players were to get here last night. PLAYERS READY | FOR SOKE JOINTS. It was a peppery bunch of athletes who pulled out of the sleepers. Most of them were up early sniffing p)e balmy air from open train windows and from the vestibules. Manager Hendricks planned to get his men out to the hall yard for their first workout this afternoon. Originally It was planned to get practice under way | this morning, but It seemed unlikely at ! an early hour that Hendricks could get things straightened around in time for the before-noon baptismal. Every Indication Is that the cold spell ; which has gripped this section is over land the players will be able to boll out and limber up in a warm sun. Word has been received l’roin Indianapolis that Murray, thei left-handed | chucker from Pittsburg, will be in camp ! in a couple of days, lie wired that he missed connections for the train the Tribe left for the^south on. RUTH IMPRESSES WITH WORK. The layover in Jacksonville yesterday 1 gave the players a chance to mosey out | to South Jacksonville, where the New | York Yankees are going through, their j paces. Most of the players took in the j afternoon's proceedings. They saw Babe : Ruth and other Huggins larrupers in j action. Ruth didn't tear down any fences, but ' it is plain to be seen the big fellow is 1 in good shape and Is working bard to give his new owners the best he's got In a practice fray with the Y^nnlgans I Babe walked a couple of times and got an Infield clout. It was a wicked smash, which was knocked down, but It went for a blow. Rabe leaned against one, but It went foul by feet. It was a typical Ruth smtah, and It. didn't stop until it resounded against the fence. Basket Champs Lose ATLANTA.

MIDGET BOXERS READY FOR GO IN TOLEDO RING Frankie Mason, Hoosier Pride, Must Score K. O. to Cop Title. By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. TOLEDO, 0., March 12. —Frankie Mason, the Ft. Wayne midget, will get his chance at the world's flyweight boxing title here tonight, when he Jimmy Wilde In a twelve-round bout. As the contest will be a decisionless affair, the only way Mason can win the championship will be via the knockout route, an assignment that appears rather large for the Indiana boy. Mason is a combative little fellow—a willing mixer—but his punching power is moderate and he Is lacking as a finished boxer when compared with the “Mighty Atom” from England. Mason i 8 30 years of age and has been boxing ten years. A comparison of bis record with that of Wilde shows that the Britisher has scored clean knockouts over several American boxers held their own with Mason, among them Zulu Kid and Johnny Eosner. WILDE IS BIG FAVORITE. Though Wilde can win no great prestige by defeating Mason, it Is expected he will go after a decisive victory tonight. Mason Is the claimant of the American flyweight title, though he has not gained general recognition as the champion. The Britisher, according to a concensus of opinion among boxing critics here, should win hardily. He la boxing in top form now and has become thoroughly acclimated. Both Wilde and Mason this morning were under the flyweight limit of 108 pounds. Wilde was guaranteed SIO,OOO. Mason will get about $3,000. BIKE RACERS SLOW UP. NEW YORK, March 12.—The six-day bicycle riders at Madison Square Garden are steadily falling behind records.
