Times* Pair * \ isit South (Continued From Page 10) another this year. John is not alone in thinking his team is good, because Vem Boxcll, Indianapolis Times basketball columnist, picked 'the Alices to win a month ago, and Sunday wan our first chance to glimpse his choice. They have the size. They have plenty of fight—or they would not be playing for John Adams. Walker is mending from a scalded back, received after the sectional a week ago when a careless boy turned the hot water faucet in the shower bath by mistake. Saturday, Walker received a bad cut over the left eye. hut these injuries, with a bad knee received in football, can t stop this young fellow. Dawn Practices Carded Adams is in the dark about his first round opponent, having never seen, scouted or heard anything about Cicero, the dark horse winner at Marion. Adams is building a basket supported from the floor to accustom his team to the Butler gymnasium. And Adams will have his boys up bright and early for drills this week, remembering when he slipped up one year because his boys didn t get warmed up soon enough. Incidentally we mention that Maurice Kenney at Wiley will send his boys through u'.wn” practice session again this year, putting thorn into action at 6:30 a. m. That gets them to bed early and up early Kennedy says. Still heading south, the Times airmen next visited Evansville, where they were greeted by Harry King, mentor of the Bosse team. Five Franklin Grads Coach King, most, fans will recall, is an fid Franklin college player, one of the five Franklin grads who are coaching teams in the finals this year. arc Noble tike) Lyons at j Seymour, Thomas (Tim) Campbell at Technical, Paul R. Lostutter at Delphi, and M. C. (Mose) Pruitt at Connersville. King thinks this is a Bosse year or a King year. He recalls how he had a chance two years ago when he defeated Vincennes in the afternoon regional fray only to be upset ; by Dugger in t,hp night game. He has been at Bosse five years. Mark Wakefield and his Central five have dominated the Evansville district in the past. But this year is different. Just the day before the sectional tourney, a dandy baby boy was delivered at the hospital and he was promptly called Charles Lewis King, and already the photographers have snapped "Pa” King with a basketball on one arm and Charlie on the other, Bosse Guard Out Gilbert Gaupncr, senior Bosse forward, is out of the final games and w as out of the regional struggles because of blood poison in the heel. Putting the wind behind us Arnett | 1 leaded the Waco east and North, I and in forty-five minutes more than I 100 miles had been traveled to Seymour, the home of the Owls, coached by Noble (Ike) Lyons. Ike and his boys were all there and what a team! If there ever was I ;t dark horse bunch, Ike has them. ! He paraded a half dozen young j giants out to meet us, every one oi ! 'hem more than six feet tall. One of Hie regulars is under that mark and even his shortness doesn't hurt the verage of the first five which is w 1 over six feet. Seymour Dark Horse Lyons believes his boys can go, is convincing them that none of the teams in the final games are unbeatable and the thing to do is to get in there and take Newcastle m the second game, Friday morning. And they look like they have the stuff to be a real dark horse. Arnett hardly had raised the nose skyward until the short jaunt to Columbus was negotiated, all is not smiles at the Bulldog camp. Frank Ncwson hardly was satisfied with the work of his boys Saturday when they piled up a lead of j 18-3 in the first half and then went stale until Franklin had climbed within one point, 19 to 18, in the third quarter. Columbus got busy and piled up five more points to one for the opposition and got away with the game. Technical, the Bulldogs first round foe, had a seven point lead on Columbus several weeks ago and lost in overtime by one point. Columbus will have to play basketball to beat Tech and Tim Campbell told us after he had erased Danville from the local sectional Saturday night' that his boys played their best basketball of the season in that Co- | lumbus game. On to Connersville in quick time, ! and there was Mosc Pruitt to meet us. ‘'Rushville always puts up its ’ greatest fight against us,” Pruitt said, and Saturday was no exception. It was 4-4 at the half and the Spartans spent the rest period planning on an attack built around Craig, Tw’j minutes before the game resumes, Craig became ill and was out the third quarter. Rushville went into the lead. 8-4. and Craig came back. Connersville scored ten points to the Lions' five in the last quarter, and the last came when Craig shot and the ball had not traveled three feet when the gun sounded. "Boy, was that close?” said Mcse. i Connersville has a great little j team, not just exactly a pre-tour- ; nev favorite, but still one that can I whip any of them in there. Pruitt j tells you. Pruitt thinks he can take ! Wiley. Back to Indianapolis, the home of Tech, Indianapolis regional champs. Tech believes it can beat Columbus, but it is not too sure. Columbus feels likewise. SHAW RACE WINNER By Times Special LOS ANGELES, March 14.—Setting the pace from the start, Wilbur j Shaw, Indianapolis speed pilot, captured first honors in the 100-lap feature even at Ascot speedway I here Sunday in 47 minutes 53 2-5 seconds. Ernie Triplett was second. SAUREZ K. O. VICTIM By United Press BUENOS AIRES.

Jack Dempsey j Cancels Scrap By United Press TOLEDO. 0.. March 14 —Confined ! to his hotel room with a bad cold, Jack Dempsey has cancelled tonight’s scheduled four-round exhibition bout with George Panka, Pittsburgh heavyweight, at Youngstown, O. Hb illness may force him to '’all off bouts at Clarksburg, W. Va. Wednesday and at Huntington, W Va., Friday. He is hopeful he will recover in time to keep an exhibition engagement at Toronto next week.

Indians to Face Cards (Continued From Page 10) Bedore. utility pastimer, poled two hits off of the Athletic pitchers Saturday, but there was much fault found with his handling of third base. In Sunday’s practice Yoter hopped around in pleasing style, but doubt is beginning to crop up over the strength of his leg that was broken last summer. Veteran players with the Philadelphia Athletics have recommended to the Indians Sammy Hale, who is on the roster of the Portland Pacific Coast League club. Hale formerly played with the Mackmen and also with the St. Louis Browns. Gossip picked up in the grape fruit league of Florida indicates that big league scouts already are interested in the Indians even before they are ready to open the season. It is said that three Hoosier players, Wingard. Cooney and Berly have attracted the agents of a few major clubs. According to a newspaperman with the Philadelphia Athletics. Conine Mack is on the watch for another pitcher and the guess is ■that John Berly of Indianapolis has impressed the veteran leader of champions. Berly, Wingard and Cooney stack up as sure shots on spring form to return to the majors. They have the class that attracts money and if they perform during the regular season In the same fashion of March the prediction is made that the new Perry stadium at Indianapolis will transact business in a big way this year. Berlv was obtained from the New York Giants in the Len Koenecke deal and Cooney also was snared as a part of that deal while playing with Toledo. Wingard was purchased outright, from Toledo.

Led by that sensational youngster. Johnny Murphy, the local Indiana Truck team rolled into second place in the Knights of Columbus national meet on Ihe Pritchett alleys late Sunday night. Murphy started with a slow 177 and then found his stride, and turned in counts of 276 and 202 to total 655. Dr. Gick, captain of this team, also was in fine form and helped with a 625 that showed a 242 start. The local favorite to hit in a big wav. the McDaniel Tally Cards rolled a strong game to reach third place, having a mark of 2,878. Bill Sargent rolled 611 for these boys. Casady Fuel. another highly touted local dug, was well down the list with a count of 2,724. Boren Insurance also failed to hit.

The two Indianapolis police teams rolling under the banner of Council No. 437. teams ten and eleven, had totals of 1,856 and 1,325. Tony Sweeney's boys refused to respond to his plea, leaving too great a load for the captain to carry. Sergeant.

YVAI.ZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, March 14.—Unperturbed by a flood of offerings in Kreuger & Toll stock, which opened on a record block of 150,000 shares long after trading began on the Stock Exchange, the share list today firmed up from an irregularly lower opening until by noon prices were practically unchanged.

Americans Buy Issues Aside from the turnover In Kreuger & Toll, which came out in blocks of 200 to 5,000 shares after the opening, American speculators were taking the Kreuger shares from 1% up, and this accounted for the rise in the stock.

GRAIN FUTURES SHOW STEADY TRADINGRANGE Buying, Selling About Even at Opening; News Is Lacking. BY HAROLD E. RATWTLLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. March 14. Wheat, opened unevenly steady on the Board of Trade today. There was scattered buyinpr on the favorable outcome of the German election and scattered selling on the weakness in stocks. Liverpool was uneven with bearish statistics and no demand a'.so offset by the German election and by firmed Argentine offerings. Corn was easy with wheat. Oats again was dull and steady. At the opening wheat was % cent higher to cent lower, com was unchanged to % cent lower and oats unchanged. Provisions were steady to easy. Liverpool was not quite as firm as expected and at mid-afternoon was % cent lower to Yi cent higher. The country is selling cash com more freely while the demand continues to be extremely slow. Th situation, as in wheat, appears to be in need of some new or decisive factor. May was the only month traded in the oats pit on Saturday, indicative of the prevailing dullness.
