By Eddie Ash ED BARROW RATES GEHRIG No. 1 m m m HE PICKS WERBER FOR 3RD BASE

F naming an All-American League team, Ed Barrow, veteran and well-posted business manager of the New’ York Yankees, picks Lefty Gomez and Schoolboy Rowe for the standout pitchers and Mickey Cochrane his No. 1 catcher. Barrowr is a former player, scout and manager, and in the long ago piloted the Indianapolis club one season. His vote goes to Lou Gehrig as “tops” in the junior major league. Barrow rates ’em as follows in a “first ten” in his own league: 1, Gehrig; 2, Jimmy Foxx; 3, Mickey Cochrane; 4, Charlie Gehringer; 5, A1 Simmons; 6, Joe Cronin; 7, Ben Chapman; 8, Bill Werber; 9, Heinie Manush; 10, Lefty Gomez. The Yankee executive then points out what his all-star lineup would be. Gehrig, at first; Gehringer, at second; Werber, at third; Cronin, at shirt; Simmons, Chapman and Manush in the outfield, Cochrane back of the plate and Gomez and Rowe on the mound. This passes up Foxx. except as a pinch hitter, and what a pinch hitter! Jimmy played first base last but is trying out as a catcher with the Athletics this season. He broke in as a backstop several years ago.

a a a Werber the Castoff THE big surprise of Ed Barrow's I American League selections is Bill Werber at third base over Frank Higgins of the Athletics. Werber is a New York Yankee castoff who was sold to the Boston Red Sox in the spring of 1933. Many baseball experts rated Werber the "most improved" player in the Junior circuit last year and Barrow and Manager Joe McCarthy wish they had him back. The Yanks are hard up lor a top flight hot corner guardian. Werber went up from Duke University. He is a star of the first magnitude now. He led the league In stolen bases last season with 40, batted 321 and fielded 941. Werber bats righthanded, stands 5 feet 11 inches and weighs about 168. He was named all-Southern football guard in 1929 and graduated from Duke in 1930. Bill played for a short time with Toledo of the American Association and looked good to Indianapolis fans when the Hens visited here. man Casey Likes Loyan J| OE WILLIAMS, the big league sports columnist of the New York World-Telegram, visited the training camp of the Brooklyn Dodgers at Orlando. Fla., the other day. In commenting on Manager Casey Stengel's squad Joe said, in part: "There are the usual number of pitching aspirants from the bushes, at least one of whom looks as if he might make the varsity. This gentleman Is an undersized southpaw, named Robert Logan, who won 20 and lost 14 with Indianapolis last season. He has been a winning pitcher with losing ball clubs for the last three years. and to Mr. Stengel's mind this is significant.

Hamas Is Given Severe Beating by Black Uhlan Schmeling Steps Down Comeback Trail After Flashing Power to Stop Yankee in Ninth Round. BY WALTER WILKE Unilrd Ptrss Staff Correspondent HAMBURG. Germany, March 11.—Mav Schmeling stepped blithely down the comeback trail today, looking forward to another chance with Max Baer in New York. A tiny bruise over the Black Uhlan's eve was the only physical reminder of his smashing victory over Steve Hamas in nine rounds yes:erdav. Schmeling saw fate beckoning him. His prior defeat by Hamas had been aveneed and now he had the chance to even the 10-round knockout by Baer.

Joe Jacobs, the Black Uhlan's American manager who sat at the ringside and saw him give the former Penn State football star an unmerciful beating until a towel fluttered into the ring and ended it. told the United Press that the championship match already has been closed. C laims Title Rout Set He said that before he left for Germany. Madison Square Garden reached an agreement with him for Schmelmg to meet Baer in the Long Island City <N. Y.> bowl in June, in the event Schmeling won decisively against Hamas. “Well, you saw what he did." Jacobs said, chewing a long black cigar. "That was the real Sclimeling in there, not the worried disgusted fellow who lost to Hamas at Philadelphia. This Schmeling will lick Baer and get that title back.” Schmeling listened attentively with a big smile. 'Sure.” he said. He is not yet 30 and young enough, he thinks, to succeed where Jeffries, Dempsey and others failed. Steve Game in Defeat He demonstrated yesterday that he has not slowed down or lost any of the skill or power which earned him victories over some of the best heavies of the day. He floored Hamas three times in the sixth round for counts of nine and gave him one of the worst beatings any fighter ever absorbed. Bleeding and helpless. only Hamas* gameness kept him facing the German's sharpshooting round after round, while the crowd of 25.000 roared for the fight to be stopped The referee frequently glanced at Hamas' seconds for a signal to end the fight. Charlie Harvey, his manager, and A1 Thoma. his trainer, let him go at his own request until the ninth, when Thoma tossed in the towel. Hamas could not have finished the 12 rounds they were scheduled to box. and pronably was sa\edfrom serious injury. He reeled about in a da*, stalked by the hard-hitting Black Uhlan. Flailing fists stretched Hamas over the ropes as Schmeling belted away with all his power, trying to score a clean knockout. Max in Top Form Hamas obviouslr was determined to finish, but certain he could not win. Its courage earned him an ovation from the crowd, but cheers which shook Hanseatic Hall were in tribute of Schmehng's smashing victory. The outcome was not entirely unexpected. Schmeling was impressive in training, and in top form. He was favored over the youthful American, who went through his routine with none of the earnestness needed to get into condition. Schmeling eighed 194 * and Hamas a half pound more.

Til i*ll you what it means,’ explained Mr. Stengel. ‘lt means he is a winning pitcher. He can win anywhere.’ "Mr. Logan stands 5 feet, 10 inches in his corn plasters and weighs 163 pounds. This is consid- , ered very much on the small side as big league pitchers go. And yet , it should not necessarily stand as an insurmountable barrier.” a a a Mike Is Versatile AATKE RYBA, coming up to the i IVX Columbus Red Birds from Springfield of the Western Association. promises to be a standout in | the American Association this year. . With Springfield during the 1934 reason. Ryba led the league in pitching with 12 victories and three defeats, hit over the .300 mark while serving as a catcher, played the outfield in a game or so and managed the ball club in the meantime. The year before in these various roles he led the league in hitting with a mark of .380. Two players who showed promise in spring training w’ith Columbus last year and who met with misfortune before the season was well under way are to head south again , with the Birds for another trial. , They are Stuart Martin, who broke ' a wrist in the waning days of the | pre-season exhibition games in 1934, and Eddie Delker, who came down with the “flu'’ in April and was out for the year. Both are infieiders. a a a The basketball bill in the state Legislature was withdrawn. It was designed to "protect the health” of the high school basketeers.

FIVE TEAMS NEW TO H. S. FINALS SURVIVE

Interesting Angle Develops in Battle for 1935 Basket Pennant of Hoosier State 11 of Last Year’s Fieldhouse Contenders Are Missing; Logansport, 1934 Crown Wearers, to Return; Anderson Wins Local Regional, Defeating Ben Davis. BY DICK MILLER The cast for the final act of the 24th annual Indiana High School Athletic Association state basketball tournament in the Butler University fieldhouse next Friday and Saturday has been chosen. Sixteen regional winners, teams that have been able to withstand two lull weeks of tournament competition and survive the reduction of contenders for the 1935 title toga from 781 teams to the remaining number, began practice today for the final dash.

The field of final contenders is unusual in that only two former title winners, Logansport, the defending champs of 1934, and Frankfort. winners in 1925 and 1929, are among the select sixteen. Five new faces will appear in the final show, teams who have never before appeared in the final classic games since 1922 when the windup began being staged in Indianapolis. They are Montgomery. Meptone, Berne, Roachdale and Tipton. The Other Repeaters ' Besides Logansport and Frankfort the others of the sixteen who have been here at least once before are Jeffersonville, Michigan City. Anderson. Brazil, Shelbyville, Princeton, Richmond, Rushville and Nappanee. Eleven of last year's sixteen finalists failed to make the grade this year. They are Tech of Indianapolis. Lebanon. North Vernon, Hartford City, Batesville, Wabash, Jasper, North Judson, Greencastle, Beaver Dam and Hammond. Logansport, Princeton, Jeffersonville, Brazil and Morton of Richmond are the five who repeated. Last year there were nine new faces in the final classic , but only two of those teams were able to come back this year, Jeffersonville and Princeton. Jeff is a pre-tourney favorite to win. Only one of the sixteen teams that will battle next Friday and Saturday, Anderson, ever reached the runner-up position. That was i:i 1921. Ben Davis Givs Battle The Indians captured the Indianapolis regional title Saturday night in Tech gym, jammed to its 5000 seating capacity. They defeated Ben Davis, Indianapolis sectional winners, by the score of 29-21. It took a thrilling last half rally to turn the tide in favor of Archie Chadd's netters. Ben Davis won the first regional game of the afternoon, defeating Plainfield 28-24. The Giants snuffed out a late game rally of the losers. Hiatt, guard on the Ben Davis team, paced his squad to a 13-7 first half margin and then Bohannon cut loose'with five baskets in the last half to put the winners out in front and too far for Tharp. Pope and a substitute, Newby, to catch. Lambert, a substitute for Anderson, had the punch that permitted Anderson to pull away from Fortville in the second afternoon game after the Indians were held 2-0 in the first quarter and 6-4 at the half. The Indians found the hoop at will in the third quarter and settled the issue that ended 29-15. Losers Lead at Half The regional champs used the total 29 to capture both regional tilts. It was not until the start, of the last quarter that Anderson was out in front against Ben Davis. The game started fast with Jackson and Clutch scoring for the winners, but Finchum tallied on two free throws and Hiatt tied at four all with a field goal. Ben Davis held a 7-5 lead at the quarter post and a 16-11 edge at the half. Bohannon scored a couple of fie'd goals to push the Indianapolis suburbanites out in front in the second quarter. Jackson and Morgan hit the hoop in the first minute of the second half and the battle was on. Finchum and Hiatt hit free throws to boost Ben Davis’ count to 19 while Ruh connected for a field goal and Baker a free toss to keep Anderson close as the quarter ended, Ben Davis, 19; Anderson, 18. Clutch Gets Going Opening the last quarter with a burst of speed Ruh scored and Clutch went around Price and under the hoop for two field baskets. That gave Anderson a five-point lead. Clutch increased it with a free throw and another field goal before Price scored Ben Davis’ only basket of the entire second half. Clutch and Baker scored another field goal apiece. While Anderson represents the Indianapolis regional in the finals. Tech, a team that reached the run-

ner-up position last year when they lost to Logansport in the final game, remains on the sidelines where they went in the sectionals. Morton of Richmond’s victory was one of the sensations of the regional play Saturday. Coach Elder Eberhart’s Red Devils defeated Muncie in an overtime tilt in the afternoon, 24-22, and then swamped a vaunted Newcastle team 30-19, in the final tilt at night. Roachdale and Mentone, two of the newcomers, had easy sailing to get through their regionals but Brazil needed everything to defeat Lyons in the final, 24-22, and repeat last year's victory. Shelbyville came through against Franklin in the final tilt. Princeton eked out a 24-22 win over Tell City and then walloped Lynnville in the final. Berne, another newcomer, edged out Roanoke and Steiner hit six field goals and two free throws to enable his team to upset South Side of Ft. Wayne in the final, 23-77. Wabash, that went double overtime to gain a one-point win over Marion in the afternoon game, was short of punch against Tipton in the final, so another newcomer in the finals was created. Michigan City, defeated only once in the regular season, was a shade better than Hammond, a 1934 finalist. Jeffersonville was head and shoulders best in the Mitchell regional. Nappanee had to step to defeat Rochester, 33-30 but Rushville was better all the way in its regional. Montgomery, that staged a real upset to defeat Vincennes, 22-17, in the afternoon, was six points better than Sullivan in the final, and the fifth new face at the finals was born. Logansport. favored to come through its regipnal O. K., expected to have a real battle on its hands with Monticello. coached by the veteran Alva Staggs. Cliff Wells' champions were five points better. The defending title holders now take a dark horse position for the 1935 title.

IDT THE * BACKBII AMI VaHHHBRRHHiI BY PAUL BOX ELL MHWHBaV

’'T'IS better to have picked and lost than never to have picked at all. X * Backboard, of course, is no little, stunned at the sudden turn of events which have left him state champion-less. With the hasty initiative of a rustic politician, he rises to cry “fraud” and demand a “recount,” the fraud being the substitution into the Frankfort lineup of a gentleman by name of Street. Said Street was inserted into the lineup by Master Evvie Case to replace Jim Miner, regular guard who

injured his foot. Then what did Mr. Street do? He annihilated Lebanon in the last minute or so in the afternoon, then sank the goal that sank Lafayette in the last few seconds in the finals. tt tt tt According to reports Backboard gathers, the Jeffmen were in the van, 29 to 25, with a minute to go. Vaughn, Frankfort’s North Central Conference scoring ace, caged two buckets in a flash, and that’s where Street entered the race with the two deciding votes —3l to 29. Recount! a it a USING an expression as bitter as it sounds, the Frankfurters gave the Jeffmen a “taste of their own medicine.” The Bronchos waded through the season taking games in the final quarter by well-constructed rallies. In fact, that was one of the many virtues which entranced Backboard. A r£fliy was staged Saturday night, and for the first time in 22 games the Jeffmen were on the wrong end of it. Congratulations, Everett Case! May you go far at the fieldhouse! I mean it! (And, Casey, you might tell that Yarbrough person that I like salt on my crow, too.) a a o “Well,” someone remarks, “who do you think is the best team in the state now?” “Jeff of Lafayette,” replies Backboard. “But Frankfort beat ’em Saturday!” cries he. “So what?” shoots Backboard. That had ’im. n tt n HARDLY less astounding than the Frankfort catastrophe was the harrowing turn of events at Muncie. where Coach Eberhart's Richmond Red Devils emerged victorious over' both Muncie and the highly respected Newcastle club. The Red Devils journeyed to the fieldhouse last year, but Newcastle was an odds-on favorite to make the trip this semester. Ken Murphy, in the Richmond Palladium, had been sending out warning signals all week on Richmond's intentions, but there were few who took him seriously. The Red Devils trimmed the Trojans, 30 to 19, in the final encounter. That's an accomplishment, folks! A salute to Richmond ! u a a TIPTON'S rampant Blue Devils proved that their sectional conquest of Noblesville was no fluke, when they weathered the fire in the regional hot-bed at Kokomo. There were several who gave the Blue Devils a good chance over Kokomo, but few were the dopesters allowing them a triumph over the Wabash-Marion winner, which proved to be Wabash. a a a PRAISE is forthcoming to Shelbyville's Golden Bears for their drive through the tough Columbus regionals They downed Madison decisively, then repeated over Franklin. I say “repeated,” because, if you’ll remember, it was Shelbyville that broke the Grizzly Cubs' season streak after they had won 10 in a row. The Bears of Blue River are going to migrate to White River. a LOCAL TOURNEY LMPRESSIONS A NDERSON, of course, was a 17*. deserving victor . . . there was little doubt Saturday night as to the Indians’ superiority over the other three contenders . . .

Schmeling Is Sought as Foe for Camera German May Have to Fight Another Prelim to Earn Chance at Baer. BY LAWTON CARVER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 11—The New York State Athletic Commission is expected to toss a kitful of wrenches into machinery Madison Square Gardeinehas started to grind out a heavyweight championship bout for next June between Max Baer and Max Schmeling. The German's impressive nineround technical knockout over Steve Hamas at Hamburg yesterday took him to the head of the heavyweight contender class temporarily, but is not expected to get him in the ring for a chance to regain the title unless he boxes at least one more. Early Action for Primo Primo Camera, ranked among the contenders, meets Ray Impelletiere in Madison Square Garden Friday night, and Art Lasky. third of the challengers, is tentatively dated to take a poke at James J. Braddock there March 22. Outcome of these bouts will have a definite bearing on the heavyweight situation, with the Garden hoping, of course, that the four fighters carry out the elimination so thoroughly that Schmeling will stand alone. He and Baer would be a natural now, international angle and all. Champ Has German Offer Presuming that Camera will get by Impellettiere, Ancil Hoffman, manager of Baer, said in California that Schmeling should meet the big Italian in an elimination of exchampions, both of whom have been knocked out by Baer, with the winner getting the title chance. Hoffman said he would notify the Garden today that an opponent must be obtained within 30 days for the June match. “If the Garden can’t or won’t,” he added, “we have a $250,000 offer from Promoter Walter Rothenburg, who staged yesterday’s show. If he will put that in American money in an American bank and give us the privilege of taking 40 per cent of the we might accept.”

Baer’s 2-Fight-a-Night Plan Gets Negro in Jam

By United Press LIMA, Peru, March 11. —Billy Jones, 192-pound American Negro, who claims the heavyweight title of his race, heard about Max Baer’s proposal to meet two opponents in successive bouts on the same evening and tried it in five rounders. He won’t make the mistake again, and today would advise the world champion against it. Mauro Galusso, 19514-pound Uruguayan, climbed to his feet from three knockdowns last night, floored Jones five times and scored a technical knockout in the third. The referee stopped it. After a brief rest Jones went back against Peter Johnson, 185-pound Peruvian. This one ended in the first round, when Jones’ seconds tossed in the sponge.
