By Eddie Ash MILLERS CAVORT AT DELAND, FLA. m m a I BUSH IS PLEASED WITH HIS CLUB

npHE Minneapolis Millers, winners in the straightav.ay American Association race last year only to be defeated for the pennant in the playoff series by Columbus, are sticking their spikes into the sand at Deland, L la., as they go through early spring training paces. It’s the first time in history for the Millers in Florida, although most of the boys have been there with other clubs. At any rate Manager Ownie Bush likes the layout at Deland and is satisfied with his club although still on the watch for pitchers. Bush was a disappointed man when his Mauling Millers lost to the Red Birds last fall, but that won’t happen again, at least not this year. Th* A. A. magnates tossed the playoff scheme overboard and it will ty' an old-lashioned eight-club pennant chase, with the first to the wire >:• ttmg the gravy. The club owners have guaranteed $20,000 to split up among the first four teams and the No. 1 outfit will get a nice, juicy, fat check. Joe may or may not appear at first base for Minneapolis. He was injured last season and dropped out. Joe is at Deland taking it easy. Hf will remain out of the exhibition games and then if his legs feel okeh he will try it again on the initial sack when the regular season opens. The 1935 Buihm-n will perform in Indianapolis lor the first time May 23, 24. and 25.

a a a Front and Hack BIG TEN football players next fall will wear numerals both on the front and back of their Jerseys. Athletic directors of the Western Conference reached an agreement on this order at a recent meeting. Before the recent session there wss no rule as to whether the numerals should be worn on two sides or oriy one. Newspapers advocated the rew order and many regular game customers chimed in. It will aid in picking out the players who do the brunt ol the work on offense and defense. A lot of guessing has been practiced heretofore. Some colleges have used double numbers right along, however. The round robin method of drawing basketball schedules will be continued in the Big Ten. s m m Twelve Straight Hits TH e i934 managers of the Northern League tnought enough of Joe Rezo'ko to select him for shortstop on the league's all-star team, and the St Paul Saints thought well enough of him to take him from the Bra:nerd club for a trial this spruig.

Chicaco. has signed for the other bout and Carter is eager to pit him acainst a worthy foe. He is dickering to obtain Everett Marshall, the high-powered Colorado husky. Both trussles will call for two falls out of three and each will carry a time limit of 90 minutes. McMillcn has Ween signed for several days and had requested to meet the winner of the Marshall-Edwards bout of last Tuesday. Everett gained the honors, but made no definite promise to accept the offer. The Kuss-Coflleld encounter is a real test for Otto. Coflield came here unheralded two weeks ago and tossed the I. U. netman in a onefall miftch. Otto is anxious to make up for that defeat. CofFwld was a mat ace a few years ago at the University of Kansas. In 1931 he held the Mississippi Valley A A U. light heavyweight championship.

Schulte is a second baseman, but it took Coach Otto Vogel of the lowa Hawkeyes to find that the keystone was the place for him. Herman played shortstop for the St Louis University prep school and i did a good job of it. His last year he was the only player in the Mound City scholastic ranks to hit safely ■in every game, and his consistency amassed him an average of .556 for the season. He was named all-prep shortstop of St. Louis. But when he pot to lowa City, Coach Vogel spotted him as a second sacker and there he played for three years with the Hawks, cap- ! taining the team in his senior turn.

EIGHT GAMES IN FIRST ROUND OF CLASSIC

State Sports Fans Astir on Day Before Title Tourney; 16 Quintets Head for City Packed Fieldhouse Assured and More Than 14,000 Will View Basket Battles; Rushville and Princeton to Lift Lid; Event Calls for 15 Tilts. BY DICK MILLER The annual trek to the fieldhouse is on. With the opening tap-off of the 1935 Indiana High Sc'-rol Athletic Association state basketball championship finals tournament cnly a few hours away interest in the big hardwood classic reached fever heat today. With every available scat in the Butler University fieldhouse that accommodates 14.883 customers sold several days ago there was every indication that few vacant seats will exist when the ball for the opening play is tossed into the air at 9 a. m. tomorrow.

Several of the teams, particularly those due to take part in the three opening games of the two-day elimination test tomorrow morning, were to arrive in town late today. The first day program calls for Rushville and Princeton to clash at 9 a. m., Frankfort and Richmond at 10 a. m.. and Mentone and Michigan City at 11. The three afternoon games tomorrow will find Jcfffsonville against Montgomery at 2, Berne against Roachdale at 3 ana Logansport against Shelbyville at 4. The windup of the first round games will be played tomorrow night with Brazil and Anderson Hashing at 7:30 and Nappanee and- Tipton at 8:30. By that time eight of the 16 regional winners will have joined the 765 teams of the original starting field of 781 on the sidelines. Eipnt Left on Saturday Then Saturday the eight surviving teams wdll get into action again with foui morning games beginning at 8:30 ana bv noon the field wdll be reduced to four semi-finalists who will battle at 2:30 and 3:30 in the afternoon for the right to play at 8 Saturday night for the crowm. The three-week elimination play will have eliminated all but one of the 781 starting teams. Elimination action two w’eeks ago in 64 sectional centers reduced the field from 781 •to 64 sectional champions, and play last Saturday in 16 regional centers eliminated 48 additional teams. The 15 games here this week-end between the 16 remaining teams will eliminate all but one. The question now is, will it be Logansport, the defending champions of 1934 w’ho are still in the race, or will it be anew champion? It wdll be a chance for an undefeated team. Jeffersonville, which sports 22 consecutive regular season victories or it may be a chance for an absolute “dark horse" squad to take the high laurels of Hoosier prep basketball. All of the coaches of the finalist teams who arrive in town tonight will be interviewed hy the writer over radio station WFBM at 10:20 p. m. It will be the first time that Roachdale, Tipton, Berne, Montgomery and Mentone have ever placed teams in the select circle of 16 to reach the fieldhouse. It wdll be a two-way chance for a former winner to repeat, Logansport. the defending champ, or Frankfort, winners in 1925 and 1929. Coaches’ Banquet Tonight The opening festivities of the tournament wdll take place tonight at the Antlers when the Indiana | High School Coaches Association will have a banquet to feature eating and entertainment. President A. B. Masters of Jefferson High School of Lafayette will preside and iian.e ? nominating committee for the election to be held during the spring track meet, but other than ; that no speeches will be made. Tickets should be obtained from Russell Julius, secretary, at Shortridge High School, or at the door. Tonight A. L. Trester, commisj sioner of the I. H. S. A. A., will meet with the five tournament officials, Vaughan Russell, Terre Haute; Carl I Burt, North Manchester; W. Stanley I Porter. Franklin: Glenn Adams, Cos! lumbus. and Nate Kauffman. Shelby- | ville, to map out their work during the final games. Any variation that might exist in : rules interpretations among the whistle tooters. and other details will be discussed as well as the asi signing of the men to the games in j which they wdll work over the twoi dav stretch.

At Big League Spring Camps

By United Tress ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 14.—Vernon Gomez, star left-hand-ed pitcher of the New York Yankees, but most futile of batsmen, who bet he would make 14 hits last season and lost $lO on it to Babe Ruth, has a wager on his prowess at the plate for the coming campaign. Charlie (the Red) Ruffing, best of the Yankee right-handed pitchers, doesn’t believe anybody can bat below Gomez and is backing himself to outhit his southpaw team mate by 100 points. Gomez compiled an amazing average of .131 last season. Ruffing apparently needs only to repeat his .248 to collect. TAMPA, Fla.—The Cincinnati Reds will continue their comparatively easy inter-club activities until Saturday, when they meet the Brooklyn Dodgers in an exhibition game here.

Camera Rules 3-to-l Favorite Over Opponent Victor to Be Given Bout With Winner of LaskyBraddock Mix. By United Press NEW YORK, March 14—Primo Camera today wras a 3-to-l favorite to whip Ray Impellettiere, his inexperienced opponent, in their 10round bout tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden, Hanging in the balance is a bout with the winner of the Art LaskyJames J. Braddock match, March 22. as another step toward a crack at Max Baer and the title. The choice or Camera in the “superdreadnaught” match Is based on his record of nearly 10 fighis for every one on the "Imp s" record. An examination by Dr. William Walker, athletic commission physician, Wednesday revealed that both men are in perfect shape and Harry Lenny, the big Imp's manager. said there would be no alibis in case of defeat. Impellettiere will weigh in at about the same figure as Camera, 260, and will be an inch taller with corresponding reach advantage. He towers 6 feet 7 1 i inches and is a good puncher and fast, clever boxer. Because of the-.size of the men and lack of referees capable of handling them, Jack Dempsey is expected to be named third man. Ha has been appointed along with others to serve on the card, but in keeping with the athletic commission’s rules, bouts will be allotted at the ringside. Piluso to Tug With Hagen on Hall Card Ernie Piluso, the Italian star, has been signed to meet “Roughhouse" Jack Hagen of Shreveport, La., in the semi-final of the mat show at Tomlinson Hall Monday night.
