By Eddie Ash TICKETS GOING FAST IN BOSTON m m m I BRAVES CASHING IN ON THE BABE
HPIIE Boston Braves are swimming out of red mk and all is serene in Beantown aj?ain. A few weeks ago the Braves stockholders were a gloomy lot and in no mood to put up more cash to carry the club. They wanted to get out from under and much of the stock was up for sale, and with no buyers. And then along came liuth. Pre-season ticket sales jumped and the stockholders scurried back to offer any help desired by the punch drunk prexy, Judge Emil Fuchs, w ho was hanging on the ropes and with creditors pounding on the door. Overnight the situation changed. The Babe is the reason Sports observers m Bos - on predict a paid attendance of more than 100.000 for the season s opening series in the Hub, April 16, 17 and 18. The New York Giants will be the visiting team. That Ruth is still a marvelous attraction was demonstrated at St. Petersburg the other day when 3500 fans turned out to watch him in batting practice at Water Front Park, the Braves’ training grounds. The training camp of Babe s old club, the Yankees, also is St. Pete. On thf ime dav that Ruth was performing before 3500 the Yankees were pting through practice before empty seats. The lasting popularity of the big fellow i astounding. Yankees and Braves will meet in nine exhibition gam' m Honda and both \rpect to profit in a big way if the ’ old m3n" u able to play on a diet of brief training.

A1 says. . ••Last October I did my comedy Stuff at the World Series, and I got to know Dizzy pretty well. One day In St Louis I decided to make up a Skit -i which I was to be dressed in a tigefs. skin and Dizzy was to wear a hunter’s hat and pretend he was going to shoot me. “At first I thought T might have trouble persuading him. After all. it would make him look pretty nutty. When I asked him. Dean said: ‘O. K. but make sure you've got plenty* of photographers. That s what I care about.’” a a a Pazl W ouldn't Concede HEZE CLARK, the wrestling referee, had a not-so-merr> ( evening at the Armory the other night. It was the Billy EdwardsPaui Harper match that brought grief to Heze and caused the fans to boo lustily. Clark explains that Harper was the cause of it all. Edwards had Paul down and was squeezing him in a headlock. Harper made motions that indicated he was ’done for. but the referee has a different explanation. Heze says he asked Harper three times if he wanted to concede the fall, and that Pau*. refused. Heze did not want to break the | hold because, he explains. Harper insisted cn ’ fighting it" instead of j -conceding.” Paul hung on too long., however, and was too shaky to continue the match, the bout going, to Edwards. j j r for Gentlemen Who Seek the Finest jffiJ ' rrrntM-nrta Suits —Topcoats Heady to But On Take your pick of these fine garment*. 16 Weeks to Pay. .

Close Action ! Anticipated in ; Regional Play
Logansport Is Only Quintet Given Decided Edge in Saturday’s Tilts. BY ALLEN DIBBLE Unprecedented competion is expected in the 16 regionals of the annual state high schol basketball tournament Saturday and only five teams are favored to survive the round without difficulty. Logansport, defending state champion, is the only pre-tourney favorite expected to hold a decided advantage over its regional opponents. Mcnticello, beaten by the Berries during the regular season, is considered the outstanding challenger. Anderson at Indianapolis, Columbia City at Auburn, South Side of Ft. Wayne at Huntington and Rochester at its home regional are favorites at their respective centers. Mitchell Threat in South Jeffersonville, strong southern title contender with an unbeaten rc ord of 26 wins, may experience difficulty with Mitchell in the first round at Mitchell. Mitchell defeated New Albany, 24 to 12, during the regular season, while Jeffersonville nosed out the same team, 20 to 17, in the sectional last week-end. Jefferson of Lafayette, North Central Conference champion, still has fear of Frankfort., a team which it beat tw'ice during the regular season. Frankfort's challenge is all the more imposing because the veteran Everett case is directing the Hot Dogs. Old Rivals to Battle Muncie and Newcastle, both strong contenders for the title, probably will meet in the final game at Muncie, and neither will hold a decided edge. Strong competition is expected at La Porte, where Hammond, Michigan City and Valparaiso, along with the weaker Kentland team, will battle. Hammond drew Kentland as a first-round rival, and probably will be fresh for its final contest against the winner of the Valpa-raiso-Michigan City affair. Michigan City defeated Valparaiso, 23 to 22, during the regular season. But the contest was close throughout and the finish spectacular. Other regionals promise keen competition. At Attica, evenly matched Clinton and Roachdale teams are favored to meet in the final game. Martinsville, Brazil, Wiley of Terre Haute and Lyons are expected to battle fiercely at Bloomington. Tipton Is "Dark Horse” Frank’in and Shelbyville appear outstanding at Columbus. Bosse and Princeton probably will be rivals in the final game at Evansville. Bosse defeated Princeton, 24 to 23. during the regular season. Kokomo, Marion and Wabash are outstanding at Kokomo, with Tipton a strong "dark horse.” Marion and Wabash split even in campaign games. Wabash also defeated Kokomo and Tipton. Connersville and Rushville probably will renew their rivalry in the final game at Rushville. Aurora may upset Rushville in the first round, however. Montgomery, upset winner against Washington in the sectional, will challenge Vincennes* in the first round at Washington. The winner of the Sullivan-Huntingburg contest promises further difficulty in the final game if the Alices should survive.

Indiana Is Feared in Big Ten Meet Crimson Track Hopes Rest on Don Lash. By Times Special CHICAGO, March 7.—The twen-ty-fifth annual Western Conference indoor track and field meet will be held at the University of Chicago field house Saturday with Michigan a heavy favorite to annex first honors. Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio State are rated leading contenders for 'second place.

Jesse Owens, Negro sophomore, will be Ohio State’s main threat. Wisconsin has a well-balanced squad. Purdue is almost certain of points in the hurdles if Kenneth Sandbach, world record holder in the 60yard indoor high hurdles, competes.

main go on the all-heavyweight wrestling card of the Hercules A. C. and the feature is expected to attract a capacity house. The bout is a "natural” of the first order and Carter plans to back it up with a strong supporting card. Edwards has stepped into the limelight with his "chiropractic” hold and has used the "squeeze” for Victories over Dick Raines, 235, Sol Slagel, 255, Tom Marvin, 212, and Paul Harper, 220. All four have reputations of being able to take care of themselves, but not one of them lasted the limit when the Dallas matman "gave them the works.” Harper was flattened and unable to return to the ring in his tussle with Edwards Tuesday night. Marshall returns to the Armory following a recent match with Jim Londos, the champion, in Chicago. The tussle was last Thursday and ended in a 90-minute draw with no falls. Press reports gave Marshall the better of the argument. On two different occasions Everett picked Londos up and tossed him out of the ring.

Coaches Move Toward Cage Rule Changes Tap-Off May Be Ruled Out at National Meeting of Coaches. By United Press CHICAGO, March 7.—Two important changes in basketball rules to make the game faster and eliminate inequalities between tall and short players are likely to evolve from the annual meeting of the National Association of Basketball Coaches in Chicago. April 3 to 5. N. E. (Nick) Kearns, Western Conference referee, said today he is certain that the center jump is destined for the scrap heap. 500 Coaches Favor Change The tapoff would be supplanted, if many officials and coaches have their way, by the system used this year on the Pacific Coast. A goal under that system does not halt play. It is up to the defensive team to get in and take the ball. Kearns has letters from 500 coaches who approve the plan. "It will add immeasurably to spectator interest in basketball,” Kearns said. "It ends unneessary whistleblowing and eliminates much of the present fouling in the center circle.” Seek to Speed Up Game The other major rule change proposed would make it a foul for a player to hold the ball more than three seconds on the post position, or' pivot line. The object, like the 10-second rule adopted some years ago, is to speed up the game. Since adoption of the rule that the ball may be held only 10 seconds within the player’s own defense zone basketball attendance has increased constantly. Paid admissions at Temple University increased 75 per cent this year over 1933, Fordham’s crowds grew 50 per cent and Ohio State gained 20 per cent.
