A 676 total was the “big gun” cf last night's league bombarding and Bob Ballinger was the "man behind the gun.” Hus ammunition was games of 236. 228 and 202 and came from the Evangelical League, bowling at the Pritchett alleys. Team honors of the evening went to the Bake A: Vans D-X Service of the South Side Business Men's League. Four other counts were posted in the Evaneglical loop. Charlie Menges had a 609. while Carl Sturm and Billie Behrens had 604 each. The Yanks and Pirates won their games over the White Sox and Dodgers by 3to 0 scores. The Indians took a pair from the Reds and the Cubs won an odd game decision over the Cardinals. The Senators and Giants were without opposition. The Bake Ac Van team's top total of 3003 came from games of 962. 1014 and 1027. George Kahl. with 645. Carl Kiefer, with 605. and Joe Rea. with 598. furnishing most of the power. Their huge score gave them a clean sweep victory over the opposing Brcnn Five. Nat Schotts 670 was good for individual honors of the session, but he didn't get much support from his team mates and his Bonus Bag team failed to register a victory in a series with the Stahlhut Jewelers. Gib Smith and Gene Rufli did most of the scoring for the Stahlhut team, with totals of 620 and 611. The winners closed their evening's exhibition with a 1034 game. Polar Ice and Fuels were also three-time winners during the evening. their victims being the Hcidonreich Florists. Clarence Baker and Bob Wilmoth passed the 600 mirk for the Polars. while the losers failed to land a man in the honor class. Adam Lang, who has been on the sick lust for the past couple of weeks, returned to the Florists lineup and banged out a 599. while Paul Stemm followed one pm behind at 598. No big scoring emerged during the Koch Furniture-Voight Mortuary senes, won by the former team by a 2-to-l score Slim Hendricks topped the individualists, getting a 590.

St. Paul collides with Greensburg in the first round and the winner meets North Vernon, providing the Panthers get past their first round opposition. u a tt SHRIMP Englehart’s North Vernon Panthers also took but three stiff punches during the season. The mighty Jeffersonville Devils gained a four-point edge over the Panthers. New Albany went over by eight points, and Scottsburg won by five markers. The Scottsburg decision later was avenged in two games. North Vprnon beat Greensburg 26 to 18 in a season tilt. n a a THE Greensburg Pirates, piloted by Frank Pruitt, have had only a fair bit of success this campaign. but they can be counted on to step out when the Friday falterings begin. The Pirates defeated St. Paul in a clofce battle a few weeks back. OTHER NOTES*OF*INTEREST ABOUT OTHER SECTIONALS IN case you’re wondering what has happened to Flora, the team up around Delphi that holds victories over several strong rivals, it's still in the Delphi sectional, but Is camouflaged as Monroe Township. Won't Delphi be surprised when those big Florans step out from behind that banner nan MITCHELL and Oolitic, teams that in midseason appeared almost certain to cause Bedford trouble galore, have subsided considerably of late . . . and if the Bedford boys who have been dismissed get back in the good graces of the school by next Friday, the Stonecutters are a pretty safe choice to meet Jeffersonville or New Albany in the first entanglement of the Mitchell regional. Bosse and Central will stage eir usual civil war at Evansville. Anderson's Indians will meet .neir age-old rival. Alexandria, in the tournev opener at Wigwam town . . . and the winner is likely to clash with Lapel, upsetter deluxe. in the next round. Three or four weeks ago. Bloomington looked like a sure thing at Martinsville, but the Panthers boarded a toboggan and still were on the downgrade when last seen in Shelbyville. There are those who still won't give up on Martinsville as a tourney contender. There is the bare chance that Tipton will cause Noblesville’s Matchless Millers some trouble at Tipton. n n *■■ ATTICA, suprise winner of the blind tourney at Greencastle, is worried aplenty about Veedersburg, an off-and-onner that holds a season victory over the Atticans. And Shelbyville is keeping a wary eye on Hope as well as Columbus. Hope is listed in the drawings as Hawcreek Township. One of the niftiest derby-draw-ings of the day pits Sullivan against Dugger in a first round game at Sullivan. That will be one of the hottest first round reunions in the state. And who was that guy who just popped his head in the door and whispered Southport's Cards were shuffled for anew deal in the Tech casino. a tt tt TALK about your fancy goalgetting—those canning Jeffersonville Red Devils pierced that little hoop on exactly 17 of 32 field attempts at Bedford Friday! Backboard, by bringing his square root and algebraic knowledge into play, has figured it our that 17 in 32 is better than .500 per cent shooting! Whew!!!! a THE Jeffersonians of Lafayette turned in a distinctly sour brand of basketball in taking an overtime victory over , Delphi, according to reports from Lafayette. Says Gordon Graham in the Lafayette Journal and Courier: "Before the Red and Black team realized that all of its records, titles, clippings, etc., were going to be of nc assistance, the Oracles were flying out in front, 11-1” Added note. Bronchos: The recent gold decision rendering no change in the present status, clippings of Backboard can not be exchanged for even so much as a good free throw. Any points you get in the tourney will have to be obtained at their net value. THREE TIE IN SHOOT 8)1 Time* S/tecial CARMEL. Ind.. Feb. 26—Scoring 93 hits apiece out of 100 targets. C. O. Free. F. Stratton and G. Benefield tied for first place 111 an American Legion shoot here yesterday. C. Stumph broke 92 and George Wendling 91.

Ruth May Sign Contract Today Says He Will Not Quit for Years, Is Report. By United Press NEW YORK. Feb. 26.—The longestablished rite of signing Babe Ruth to a contract may be made with customary flourishes, but it is expected to take place late today or tomorrow. The a.rival of the Babe from Grevcourt, N. Y., where he has been on an cuting, was awaited with a 1 report out that cameramen would be summoned at once. The home-run hitter couldn’t be reached for a statement, but he is reported to have made a talk at Greycourt yesterday in which he said he would continue playing baseball for years. His tour of Japan, he said, demonstrated to him that he had not reached the end of the trail. Edward G. Barrow, business manager of the New York Yankees, said he knew nothing about Ruth's plans, but admitted he might have an an- , nouncement to make today, bearing out reports that the club and the j Babe were about to get together. “I don't know for sure whether I’ll have an announcement,” Barrow said. ‘‘lt all depends.”

The Theatrical Worhl Ken Murray Scores as Comedian in Vanities Now Playing at the Indiana BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

YOU will have to live many years more if you find a better entertainment for the price thar, the Indiana is offering just now. On the stage is Earl Carroll's Vanities and on the screen is Barbara Stanwyck in “The Woman in Red.” Recently, Vanities was at English’s but its engagement was interrupted by a fire back stage. No damage has been done at all by reducing the running time of this big revue. The only real feature that is missing is Chaz Chase and his absence in no way weakens the order of events. Under the swift guidance of Ken Murray, this revue takes on speed and dash. Murray, as I said when he was here at English’s, is headed for fame on Broadway. He knows how to put over a story that has pep and dash. He knows how to dress up a skit and put it into high; gear. Murray is the big hit of the Vanities. He aids Helen Charleston to put over her imitations of screen stars. She is a fine artist and she stopped the show dead with her work when I was present. The Collette Sisters make a splendid sister team in harmony and dance. They have class as well as ability. The Samuels Brothers are marvelous tap dancers. All of the big production numbers have been retained and the fan number lives up to Carroll's boast that he has the most beautiful women in the world in his shows. From a scenic standpoint, the show is more than adequate and it is beautiful in the production numbers. Milton charleston has his funny scene of yelling and falling with Murray in the burlesque on “Green Pastures.” This number is one of the funiest in the show. In the movie, “The Woman in Red,” Miss Stanwyck is supported

Thom Takes Bout in Straight Falls I. U. Mentor Beats Williams on Hall Mat. Billy Thom, Indiana University wrestling coach, tossed Scotty Williams in straight falls to retain his junior middleweight mat title in the headline bout at Tomlinson Hall last night. The Crimson coach nailed his foe the first time after 25 minutes of action in the first fall. He triumphed in 10 minutes in the second spill. Oley Olson, replacing Buck Weaver in the semi-final, downed Art Perkins in two of three falls. An arm lock quelled Perkins after 19 minutes of the first fall. Perkins dropped Olson in less than a minute in the second session, but the winner took the third in seven minutes with a body smother.

the only pitcher absent from the spring camp today. The rest are busy limbering up. Carl Hubbell, ace of the hurling staff, was the first to pitch in the opening of spring drills yesterday. CHlCAGO—Fifteen Chicago Cubs rolled out of blizzard-bound Chicago last night for their training camp on Catalina Island.

dance and to close the show by joining the chorus in their finale routine. But this is precisely what Mr. Resener did do at the performance which the reviewer attended. In the show itself the Mack Brothers and Bobby are seen in some clever comedy and tumbling; Eleanor Leonard sings lustily several blues songs; Evelyn Hoffman performs in two well arranged eccentric a.ance numbers, and the three Lees with Johnny behave most comically in > rough-and-tumble act of dance and song. Levan and Bolles present one of the best comedy skits this reviewer has seen in some time. This is due mostly to the comic-strip countenance of the male member of the duo. His type of facial distortion is decidedly different from the general run and his chatter is catching. J. Elder Blackledge, magician extraordinary performs two tricks, one a brand new Arabian rope illusion, and the other (not so new) the traditional bird-in-the-cage disappearance. The Lyric movie this week is a comedy mystery, "Murder on a Honeymoon,” starring, "strange as it may seem,” detective Edna May Oliver and her assistant, Police Inspector Jimmy Gleason.
