Jockey George Woolf rode the winner. a a a Cubs' Probable Lineup THE 1935 starting lineup of the Chicago Cubs is practically set. Manager Charlie Grimm will have a lot of players to look over during pnng training, but nobody ventures to predict that any phenoms will turn up to change the following ; "future book" opening batting order; Cuvier. If; Herman. 2b; Klein, rs; Lindstrom. 3b; Stamback. cf; Jurges, ss; Grimm, lb; Hartnett, c; Frank Demaree, the fly chaser from the Pacific Coast, may horn into the regular assemblage and Woody English may shove Lindstrom off of third base. In this event Lindstrom would go after an outfield berth. Moreover. Manager Grimm's underpinning is beginning to crumble and there's no telling what will happen when the blistering hot weather ! arrives. Chuck Klein played left field last j year and welcomes the change back to the right garden. It was as a rightfielder that the Hoosier Hercules accomplished great deeds when he was a member of the Phillies. a a a Giant With Millers IF Manager Ownie Bush likes ’em b:g he'll thrill at the sight of Bill Jackson, who has accepted terms with the Millers for the approach- j ing American Association campaign. j Bill tapes six feet, six and one- j quarter inches, and if they're grown any taller they belong in carnivals, j not baseball. Big Bill started his career as an : outfielder with North Platte in the Nebraska State League of 1932. He was assaulting baseballs at a .394 average when the Cleveland Americans bought him and sent him to \ the Mississippi Valley League. Next year at Zanesville, he appeared as a catcher. Last year with Cedar Rapids of the Western League Jackson showed behind the bat and in the meadows and batted .298. He hails from far away Centralia. Wash.

OFF IKFjIIAMAID mmmmmmumammmmamm® by paul boxell mammmmmßmmm

JEFF of Lafayette, “Backboard's gift to the basketball world,” will face heavy going right off the bat in the chase ftr the state cage crown. In the first place the Jeffmen have oeen “slipped" against West Side of Lafayette in the very first sectional altercation. And the West Siders won the sectional war up there last year!

Should the Mastersmen snuff out their sectional foes, they will have the Oxford winner, probably Otterbein, and Lebanon or Frankfort to push through in the Frankfort regional. Then, IF—what a word—they get to the fieldhouse they are shuffled right into the extra-tough upper bracket which includes such backward little fellows as (mebbe) Newcastle, Vincennes, Connersville and New Albany or Jeffersonville. But that's O. K. Bronchos! The stiffer the path, the less chance for a mischievous dark horse to sneak up on you! At least you know what to fight for! tt tt tt FIREWORKS in the Indianapolis section disputes probably will begin with the Decatur .Central-Castleton battle at 9 Thursday night. Decatur and Castleton staged a tug-o-war in the semi-final joust of the county tournament, with Decatur winding up on top, 23 to 22. The Centralites then went on to annex the title. New Bethel should ease through Beech Grove and Shortridge should have little trouble in Broad Ripple in other Thursday nieht skirmishes. Warren Central, with Mr. Wiese in form, may easily give Tech more trouble than the Cannons are expecting at 2p. m. Friday. A probable Washington-Ben Davis reunion will add pep to the Friday night session at 8. Saturday will be bargain day. Three games—three evenly balanced finish fights. tt an DICK Miller of The Times says Jeff of Lafayette is a “pretourney favorite.” but that statement must be based on Backboard’s recommendation, for other state writers don’t seem to swing to the idea. Jim Itch of the Columbus Republican has avowed himself with Newcastle. Mark Ogden of the Kokomo Tribune is on the Jeffersonville bandwagon. Kunnel Bob Stranahan of the Newcastle Courier-Times lines up with his own home boys, and Chic Yarbrough on the Frankfort Times says he isn’t picking, but if he were it would be Anderson. Bob Stranahan writes an inspirational piece for the Trojans to ponder. If Bob's exhortive essay means victories for his townboys. they're through the regional on a breeze right now. u o a WHEN is a substitute not a substitute?—when he sinks two perfect field goals in an overtime to win a ball game. If he stands up under fire like that all the time, he can play every dayin the week and twice on Saturday night on Backboard's team. Loyal Techites were given a real thriller for the last dish on their season menu Saturday, even though the Green Goalers did lose to Kokomo in a fast overtime, 30 to 28. Bennett, who came tripping in for the last minute or so for Matchett. polished off the Kokomo season by caging two fielders after Weaver had given Tech the lead with a short goal in the extra period. The score at the end of the allotted 32 minutes was 26-26. u tt n Tim Campbell revamped his lineup a little to start the game, sending Reedv in at renter, and using Childers as regular guard along with Weaver. And the new setup worked like a charm for awhile. Hutt going under on some clever pivot passes bv Reedv and Childers showing an aptitude for long range firing. The Techmen were leading, 14 to 6. midwav in the second ouarter. But Reedv was ronsistentlv out-lumped bv Elliott. Kokomo's lithe Negro center, and from the center circle the ball alii avs found its wav to Maddox, stocky Wildcat guard, who was "hot” on long field shots. Maddox fired awav unmolested to his heart's content, and Kokomo was ahead at the half. 1* to 15. Perhaps it’s part of Peedad Campbell's style to use four men, but it appeared that Elliott was capable of contributing several

more pivot goals than his mates gave him an opportunity to try. . . . Backboard spotted Coach Orville Hooker of Marion and his assistant, Ronald Jacobson, among those present. . . . They didn’t com; to see Tech, either. . . . Kokomo is host to Marion in the regional. . . . Peedad and Tim, no relation, were the Campbells on the coaching benches . . . and O. T. 3. refuses to make pun of soup. tt tt tt Salting away the season. . . . Jeffersonville and Pittsboro closed without a scar. . . . And isn't Hope, in the Shelby sectional, undefeated? . . . Coach Glen Overman's Attica threat for the Greencastle regional seems to be melting away. . . . Crawfordsville, in the same regional, rapped the Atticans, 30 to 25. . . . Lapel found its tourney stride against Elwood. . . . Sullivan edged out Linton. . . . Plainfield, without Babb, was unruffled by Beech Grove. . Vincennes heavily outclassed Martinsville. . . The Artesians may still be tourney comers, but it looks doubtful now. . . . The little Jasper quintet that gave Jeffersonville a scare, stumbled and fell before Petersburg, a sectional rival. . . . Carmel's Greyhounds closed with a tight victory over Zionsville. . . . Three Indianapolis schools, Washington, Manual and Tech, went down to defeat Saturday night. . . . The Continentals took a surprise lacing from Alexandria, a weak team this season. 27 to 14. . . . Walt Floyd, Manual gfad, sent his St. Paul machine over his alma mater to the grind of 19-18. . . . South Side. Ft. Wayne's strongest quint, edged out Muncie, 19 to 18. when Hilgeman of South Side dropped in a long field goal that barely had cleared the net when the final gun barked. . . . Cathedral bowed to Reitz in the first trial of the Catholic tourney at Ft. Wayne. St. Marys ->f Huntington, a dark horse, copped the title last night. And does tnat forecast anything for Mr. Ihsaa’s merry-go-round? Hamas Issues Call for Sparring Help HAMBURG. Feb. 25.—Max Schmeling and Steve Hamas probably will enter the ring here March 10 even in the betting, it was indicated today by the present odds, shortened to 6-5 from 2-1 on Schmeling a week ago. Hamas has settled down to intensive training at suburban Rissen. but has sent out a rush call for sparring partners.

C.-Hilge-meier Packer city pro game at the Armory yesterday afternoon and the boys of Frank Kautsky evened up their series with their local rivals, winning 31 to 16. The game proved to be a thriller during the first half with the lead changing hands on several occasions and finally ending with the Kautsky five holding a slight edge, 12 to* 10. Reiff scored nine ox the Kautsky's twelve points during the period. During the second half the Kautsky offense opened up and the Packers were unable to halt the fast driving tactics of Reiff and Johnny Wooden. The Kautsky defense also tightened and during the fourth quarter, the Packers failed to tally a field goal. George Chesnut played a great game for the winners, controlling the tip-off during most of the fortyminutes of play. For the Packer team Shipp and Coffin featured.
