High school dark horses galloped right through the sea of pre-tournament dope In many sections over the State Friday and Saturday and as a result quite a few nr> heralded and unsung aggregations are going to compete in the regional play Saturday, while tho erstwhile favorites of several sections stay at home and turn their attention to track and baseball. Right here In Indianapolis, although Manual students “knew all along that their team would win." Tech was somewhat of a favorite. This was more true before the tourney at the colliseum began, for during Friday’s and Saturday s play Manual backers Increased steadily In number while Tech followers grew more fearful as each succeeding game contrasted the strength of the two local rivals. Both teams entered the final game on an even footing, and based on the dope at that time, the result wrs not an upset, but before the tournament got under way Tech was an undeniable favorite. Down In the Mooresville section was found the faultiest dope bucket Martinsville, tri-State champions, and one of the few teams to 6core a win ovet Franklin this year, was expected to skip through the district without any trouble. True, gome of the wise ones picked Monrovia to prove a stumbling block in the path of the Artesian City goai-getters but not Pittsboro. Pittsboro, a rank outsider before play began, tripped through the tourney, removing all of the teams that were expected to worry Martinsville, and then topped things off by downing the tri-State champs by a one-point margin. Manual is going to try tc ride this dark horse In the regional nlay st Bloomington next Saturday and reports from Mooresville are to th's effect that the local boys will have tc let.rn a lot of horsemanship and hold on .ight if they are to gallop through to the final tournament. Upsetting favorites In every game. Atwood swept through the Warsaw district and grabb and off the title Saturday night. The team was not conceded *o have an outside chance before the tourney, ba: proved its class by fighting through a hard schedule to the championship. Fishers handed the dopesters at Kokomo a hard jolt ty winning the sectional honors of that district rather easily The record of the Fishert team tnls season has been good, it having lost only four games, but It was nor considered formidable enough to cop from the galaxy of strong teams In the Kokomo district. More favorites fell by the wayside at South Bend when Goshen plowed through for the championship. Michigan City and Laporte were the heavy favorites before the tourney. Kendallville followed the dope P*fectly up to the final game In the Ft. Wav’ne sectional and then struck a snag in South Whitley. The result was one of the biggest upsets In the State. After eliminating Richmond in the afternoon the strong Connersville .cvm went on through to the championship of the Richmond district wl'hout a great deal of trouble. The fight was supposed to rest between Richmond and Connersville with Richmond holding the edge, but Connersville eliminated the favorite by a double score.

sfayor Shank took a day off Saturday and atended the tourney with Sarah. After a lltr’e urging he made a speech to this effect “I like basket-ball, baseball, football, oxing and wrestJifcg matches and all 1 mds of sport, and any sport you kids want I’m for.” The mayor had no sooner made his appearance than he was decorated with the Tech colors and Manual and Shortridge promptly retaliated ty decorating both “Me and Sarah" with their colors. Edwards of West Newton made the longest shot of the tourney when he dropped in a clean shot from about twothirds the length of the floor. Tech and West Newton played four and one-half minutes before West Newton scored from the foul line and had played seven minutes before Davis of Newton scored the ’’rst field goal of the game. Harmeson took the record for the greatest number of field goals in one game when he scored nine against New Augusta. Burnett of Ben Davis pulled an unusual play when he used a football snap-back, passing the ball between his legs to Wakefield, who made a clean shot from the corner of the floor. The ticket offices at the Coliseum were very Inadequate for the crowd Saturday night. There were three or four lines of people clear to the cars waiting for admission. The choice seats were filled an hour and a half before the game by season ticket holders. The Manual rooters used Red and White cards to a good advantage In their rooting. The demonstration was rather novel in tourney play here. Howard, one of Manual’s best scorers, was removed from the game on personal fonls, but luckily for Manual It was near the close of the game. The balloons did not put in their appearance. Rather unnsuaU Enthusiasm wg* at a feverish pitch In both camps during the final game, as neither side was In the lead very long at a time unitl the closing minutes of the fray.

MOOSE-LEGION GET BIG DATE The Loyal Order of Moose and the American Legion will unite it is said, in staging an all-star boxing card on May 29, 'he night before the Speedway races. The match coveted date was awarded jointly to the two organizations by the Indianapolis boxing committee at a meeting Sunday afternoon. Along with the Moose and Legion, the Progress Athletic Club, the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Indianapolis Baseball Club had requests filed with the commission. Previous to the departure of the Indians for Marlin Springs, Texas,,Sunday. President William C. Smith got In touch with Chair - man Winn and withdrew the application of his club. The Moose and Legion had agreed to combine in putting on the show, it Is said, and after a spirited discussion the date was awarded to the two organizations. Commissioner Moroney opposed the awarding of the date at this time, it neing his contention that no permits should be granted so far In advance. The commission previously had placed a sixty-day limit on permits. He also urged that before the date be awarded that another open meeting be held and all clubs given another chance. The commission previously had reduced the number of eligible clubs for the May 29 date to three, one of which was the Indianapolis ball club, which withdrew. The Progress Athletic Club and the Greater Indianapolis Athletic Clu'i were left in the running, but Commissioners Winn and Tyndall voted to dissolve their former agreement and thus the Mo' oe and Legion were able to grab off the data

credit for the fine showing that it made in the final game. The east siders were forced to extend themselves to the limit in order to reach the finals, while Mauual had a comparatively easy time of it. If Tech had won the tourney It could have well been called ‘a team of iron.’ For the first time In the history of high school basket-ball tournaments Martinsville failed to win its sectional. Heretofore the tourneys have all been held on Martinsville’s floor. Maybe this had something to do with it. Our all-sectional pick is as follows: First Team. Second Team. Stewart, Valley MillsF,...Floyd, Manual Howard, Manual....F Parr B. Ripple Wakefield B. Davis I'’ Martin, Manual Harmeson. Manual. C.. .Greenberg, Tech Routon, W Newton.C.Fitch, Brownsburg Nipper, Tech G.Overby, B. Ripple Summers, Manual...G..Edward, Newton Kilgore, Shortridge..G Unger, Tech Pittsboro was the big darkhorse of sectional tourney play when it defeated Martinsville by one point for the Mooresville sectional title, but even at that Manual looks good to come back home after the regionals to play In the State meet. Most of the 560 teams were eliminated In the sectionals are pretty much in favor of a consolation tourney. Next year it is probable there will be sixty-four sectionals. The county idea will prevail, perhaps, and thus the usual county tournaments will be eliminated. So many counties have been staging tourneys previous to the sectional meets that it is said the State Board of Athletic Control is thinking seriously of doubling the number of sectionals. By increaslug the number some of the hardships df scheduling can be avoided, and perhaps morning games eliminated. "We lost by golly, we lost by gclly, we lost by golly, we lost.” That is what the Techites yelled after they had recovered from the disappointment of the defeat handed them by Manual. One loyal east side young Tech co-ed of Michigan street went to the game accompanied by a young man of Manual tendencies. He laughed In glee after the contest. She told him Tech had to let Manual have it at least one year, lie said something further—when smack: She had hung a feuinine Jack Dempsey on him. He couldn't return the punch and she was too good looking to run away from, so he bravely walked on and did the remainder of his gloating inwardly.

Ruth Signs Up for Highest Pricee Ever Paid Batl Player Contract Calls for Bank Presidents Salary—Home Run Bonus to Boot. By HENRY FARRELL. NEW Y’OF.K, March 6.—Babe Ruth, like a character out of a noratio Algter book, has walked from a boy’s homo to a place where he is the highest paid athlete in the world. With a contract said to call for a flat salary between $75,000 and 3100,000 a year, with an additional bonus of SSOO for each home run, Ruth has put himself in the position of making more than any player in the game for three years and more than a good many of the major league club owners. John McGraw, the highest salaried maa In the game up to the time Ruth signed his new contract, gets SOB,OOO a year and a percentage of tho profits. Commissioner Landis draws $50,000 a year for directing baseball and Han Johnson, president of the American leagues, gets $35,000 a year. Tris Speaker and Ty Cobb, both playing managers, are understood to get between $25,000 and $30,000 a season. The great Christy Mathewson never drew more than SII,OOO a year. Ruth was getting SO,OOO a year when he started his home run stunts with the Boston Red Sox. Just before he was sold to the New York Yanks for $150,000 he signed a three-yea contract for $20,000 a year. When he came to the Y anks he was given some bonuses, which allowed him to make about $30,000 last season. Ever since Ruth became prominent he has been mixed up In big money ventures, but he has not always cashed In on them. For example, he was given a check for $25,000 for hla movie stunts, but he held the check so long that It was no good wlier he went to cash It—the company had gone to tha wall. S. S.

LEGION BOXING SHOW ALL SET Downey and Block Work for Bout Here—Card Nearly Complete. With the card of events practically completed, everything Is rounding Into final shape for the American Legion benefit show at Tomlinson Hall, next Monday, March 13. Word received by the Legion athletic committee from Cleveland and Detroit states that Bryan Downey and Ted Block are busy with a heavy training grind in order to be in perfect condition. They meet in the ten-round main event of the card at 16) pounds. Both principals, with their trainers, are scheduled to arrive In Indianapolis next Friday to put the finishing touches on their preparations. Downey claimant of the middleweight championship is anticipating one of the hardest tussles of his career, in the local ring next Monduy. Block, while not owning a record as Imposing as that of the Cleveland star, has been coming fast of late, winning most of his battles via the knockout route. He has been camping on Downey’s trail for over a year, and his manager, Mark Sliaughnessy, announces that Block already is within a few pounds of the weight and is ready to put up the battle of his life. In the eight-round seml-wlndnp, Jimmy Dalton the Indianapolis flash, meets Jack (Soldier) Elliott of Culver. The boys will box at 135 pounds. Elliott is a rugged boxer, of the same type as Frankie Nessler, wh put up such a remarkable battle against Dalton at the Elk’s show In February. Elliott Is a French Canadian, and served during the war with the 16th Cavalry. He boxed extensively while in the army, and since he has been stationed at Culver, has made rapid strides under the direction of Lieut. Earl Myers. It Is predicted that Dalton will have to display his entire bag of tricks In order to wdn over tho sturdy Elliott, who Is a leading favorite In Northern Indiana, and Is coming to Indianapolis with the intention of depriving Dalton of his claim to the lightweight championship of the State. Bobby Bridges of Indianapolis, will make his third appearance In this city, in the six-round bout, when ho tackles Billy Daulton of Kokomo, at 142 pounds. Bridges, in his first two starts before Indianapolis fans, has established himself ns a big favorite here. In Daulton, however, he meets a man of considerable ring experience, who has the reputation of being r fast boxer and a heavy hitter. The four-round curtain raiser was to have brought together Maxle Epstein and Jack Terry, both of Indianapolis, at lIS pounds. However, Epstein has withdrawn and a suitable opponout for Terry is being secured so that the fans will see a high-class four-round bont as the evening s opener. Terry long ago left the class of preliminary boxers, but agreed to do his bit to help make the legion show • ruccess by opening the bill. The a'u..nis sale of seats Indicates a big attend* ice, as the show is an allstar card, and represents the best boxing bill that has been seen in Indianapolis * ace the boxing game has been revived.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., March Fritz Bastian of Indianapolis, the Western doubles title with Luelen Williams, and sixth in the national doubles ranking, won the singles tennis totle of Florida here on the clay courts of the Royal Polnciana Hotel. Bastian won in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, from C. Carleton Shafer, Philadelphia, winner of the Bahama Islands singles, doubles and mixed doubles championships. Shafer has held the Indoor doubles title of New Jersey three times and was once runner-up for the national indoor title, Bastian played many spectacular backhand shots, scoring many of his points by making unexpected returns. Both players took things easy In the first set, but when the games In the second set stood three to one In favor of Bastian, Shafer increased the pace of his game considerably. Bastian, however, was able to meet his opponent’s speed. He was also effective with his forehand drives and slammed the ball past Shafer for a point nearly every time he was able to draw him to the net. Bastian will have his name Inscribed for the first time upon the large silver and gold cup which was presonted by the late Mrs. Flagler and known as the Royal Polnciana trophy. It was won in 1917 by Craig Biddle, in 1919 by F. H. Harris, in 1920 by lehiya Kumagae and in 1921 by R. Norris Williams.
