By Eddie Ash KENTUCKY DERBY BETS SPREAD * m a FANS TRYING FOR LONG SHOT
T>EPOR TS from race horse betting commissioners indicate that the Kentucky Derby “winter book” prices have been hammered down so low on Brevity and Hollyrood, the favorites, that wagering is now spreading throughout the entire field. It will be the sixty-second running of the Blue Grass classic and the early date of May 2 convinces many horse followers that it’s the year for a long shot to win. The price on Brevity was 2*,4-l today and 5-1 on Hollyrood. What may make it tough for Brevity is the fact the Churchill Downs track may be heavy at the time the race is run. And on top of that Wayne Wright is slated to ride the Widener flyer. He was accused of rough-riding in the Santa Anita Handicap and the other jockeys may be “laying” for him. Grand Slam is the “heavy track favorite” at 10 to 1. and Dneiper. Brevity's stable mate, a mudder. is at 20 to 1. Winter odds change from day to day on Derby candidates. On Saturday Holl Image, Kentucky bred, won the Arkansas Derby at Hot Springs and commissioners promptly cut the price from 100 to 1 to 60 to 1 on the colt in the future book on the Blue Grass feature. Another example is Sun Tryst. Quoted at 400 to 1 early last week. On Saturday a SIOO bet was received on the horse and commissioners immediately reduced the odds to 100 to 1. Future book bets are treacherous. The bettor loses his money even if his horse doesn't start.
INDIANA and Michigan are in a row over the national collegiate pool-shootin’ “championship.” The Hoosiers have protested the Wolverines’ victory in pocket billiards claiming the Michigan score was filed after the deadline. Let’s have a play-off! Purdue wielded a wicked cue and grabbed the straight rail billiards title and will be awarded the Gar Wood trophy. tt a a— The Gene Tunney trophy goes to the college pocket winner and Indiana wants it. Cornell took down the Noble Kizer trophy by capturing the three-cushion honors by a scant point over Wisconsin. tt tt tt Tony scarpati, the 22-year-old Brooklyn lad who died following a bout with Lou Ambers, won the New York Golden Gloves featherweight title five years ago. A benefit show, in which Ambers will be the main attraction, will be held in New York for Tony’s family. He was one of 10 children. a tt tt THE Butler Relays were wellsupported by the public Saturday night and the fieldhouse customers were supplied with a series of track and field events that saw some marvelous and exciting performances. The university and college lads were in fine physical condition and the stars lived up to advance notices. Glenn Cunningham, the Kansas Flier, and Jess Owens, the “one man track team,” added glamour to Butler’s annual show. It takes on added prestige every’’ year. u tt tt THE high school basket teams of Hoosicrland have been cut to the round of four and three must give way at the local fieldhouse Saturday. Armies of rooters are coming from Anderson. Evansville, Frankfort and Fort Wayne, and General John Public’s army also will be there, assuring enough shouting to lift the roof. tt tt tt Neighbor states closed out their scholastic cage hysteria last Saturday. Decatur won the Illinois title, Newark the Ohio crown, and Corbin copped laurels in Kentucky.
Dean Ready to Drill With Cards After Signing Up Dizzy, Rickey Reach Terms After 2-Hour conference; Paul Follows in Footsteps. By United Press BRADENTON, Fla., March 23—Baseball’s greatest pitching pair, “Me and Paul,” had made their peace today with the St. Louis Cardinals. Dizzy Dean signed his contract last night after a 2-hour conference with Branch Rickey, vice president of the Cardinals. Late this morning Paul agreed to terms via long-distance phone from his
home at Dallas Tex. Neither Dean nor Rickey would announce the terms at which Dizzy signed, but the figure is generally placed at between $22,500 and $25,000. In his preliminary ballyhoo Dizzy had said he would not sign for a cent less than $40,000. The original contract tendered Dizzy this spring called for $18,500, the same figure he received last year for winning 28 games and losing 12. After getting Dizzy in the fold, Rickey called his brother, Paul, by phone and he readily accepted terms. Paul received SBSOO last year and is believed to have accepted SIO,OOO for the 1936 season. He told Rickey he would leave Dallas by plane late today for Bradenton. He'll ritch to Davis * “I’m more than satisfied with everything," Dizzy said. “Mr. Rickey and Mr. Breadon have been fine to me. I hope to pitch the Cardinals to the pennant." "Will you pitch to Virgil Davis?” Rickey interrupted and said: "Os course, he will.” t "You bet I will,” chimed in Dizzy. "We settled that affair at a conference with Mr. Rickey and Davis the other day.” During Dizzy’s holdout siege he had said he would never throw another ball to Davis, charging him with blunders which cost him games. Davis threatened to bust Dizzy in the nose as soon as he walked into the Cardinals’ camp. After Rickey and Dizzy completed their business. Manager Frankie Frisch was called into the room. Enjoys Laugh on Frisch "Hello there Dutchman,” was Dizzy's greeting to his manager. "Your worries will start now because I'm on your ball club." Then Dizzy enjoyed a big laugh at Frisch's expense. "They're all your worries.” replied Frisch. "You are ordered into a Uniform tomorrow, and that means fiu’ll have to be at the clubhouse at 30 like ail the other fellows on the <jlub." < "Don't fret about that," answered Dean. “I’ll be there.” LITTLE WARMS UP By United Prett - AUGUSTA, Ga..

Records Tumble as Wolverines Edge Ohio State in Butler Track Classic
BY HARRISON MILLER Coach Hermon Phillips today ascended a ladder to paste eight records on the huge Butler indoor relay record board at the Butler fieldhouse as workmen finished erecting bleachers and playing floor for the state basketball finals. Michigan University closed its trophy case doors on the Gov. McNutt challenge trophy and the beautiful Herff-Jones permanent symbol of Butler relay supremacy. The Wolverines climaxed three sweeping indoor seasons with their third consecutive team championship at the local carnival Saturday night. Kansas Teachers of Emporia, likewise, returned home for the third time with the A1 Feeney challenge trophy and the championship of the college division with 32 points. Hinges on Last Event Michigan closed the i'ourth annual relays with a burst of speed in the final event, the university mile relay event, nosing out Ohio State whose points had been amassed chiefly by two Negro stars, Jess Owens and Dave Allritton. With the team diadem depending on the final relay, the band of quar-ter-milers from Michigan and Ohio State battled it out stride for stride in a stamina-taxing test. Ed Birleson, anchor man for the Wolverines, edged out the Buckeyes’ cinder ace, Charles Beetham, on the last lap. Michigan assembled 41 points, Ohio 39 1-3. Owens repeated his 1935 victories in the 60-yard dash and the 60-yard low hurdles in his debut performance of the 1936 season after being ineligible since last December. He also annexed the first broad jump event included in the program by leaping 24 feet 11 Vs inches. Allritton hung up anew high jump mark with a leap of 6 feet 6% inches.

Tailor-Made Man New Yorker Leaves Here With 20 Suits for Joe Louis, One of His Many Celebrity Friends.
BY PAUL BOXELL HE knows them all. He’s always around wherever there’s a party of masculine celebrities in progress. He’s a personal friend of the bigtime fighters, wrestlers, baseball players, movie actors and night- clubbers. He makes their clothes. He’s a tailor.
In addition, Billy Taub, the man I am talking of, pursues a hobby in a field which is all his own. He collects championship boxing belts, and has an interesting display of 30 of them. Beginning with James J. Corbett, Mr. Taub can show you belts awarded to every heavyweight ruler on up, including James J. Braddock. That is, Mr. Taub could have shown you last Saturday, but today he’s in Chicago. His tailoring shop is in New York. He came through Indianapolis Saturday to drop off a few men’s suits at L. S. Ayres & Cos., and put his belts on display for any one who cared to see them. He was to hop off for Chicago by plane today, he said, to personally deliver 20 (yes, twenty) suits to Mr. Joe Louis. I dropped In to see his display, and found the man more interesting than the belts. Not that the belts weren’t interesting. There was one weighing 20 pounds which was awarded to Charlie Mitchell by a group of French sportsmen in 1888 commemorating his 39-round draw with John L. Sullivan in Paris. The battle lasted three hours and 11 minutes. Another attractive titular belt was one given to the late Pancho Villa, the popular flyweight champ, in 1921. a a a IT was the gentleman's professed monopoly on the champion's-sult-providing business that engrossed me. Among the customers he cites are Jim Braddock. Max Baer, Joe Louis. Jim Londos, Danno O’Mahoney, Dick Shikat, Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney, Babe Ruth, Bill Terry, Clark Gable and many others. Os course I wanted to know how he manages to get them all lined up. “For the most part, nearly all champions and men who climb high in their professions are superstitious,” Mr. Taub explained. “I’ve been tailoring a long time, and I worked the early champions into my clientele when I started many years ago. Whenever I outfit a fel-
Kessler Gets 23 Points, but Kautskys Bow to Florals for Loop Title
Times Special CHICAGO, March 23.-The Chicago Duffy Florals today held the championship of the Midw’est Basketball League following a triumph over the Kautsky team of Indianapolis, which finished first in the circuit's regular schedule. The Florals downed the Hoosiers in the final game of a four-team playoff at White City last night, 39 to 35, despite the individual performance of Bob Kessler, who tallied 23 points. He converted nine of 10 charity tosses and scored seven times from the field. The loss of Chestnut and Wooden on fouls handicapped the Kautsky team, which .was leading, 32-to-30, at the end of the third quarter. Kautskys eliminated Pittsburgh Y. M. H. A., 46 to 18, in the afternoon tussle. Chicago advanced with a 33-to-28 victory over Akron Firestones.
ground till near the finish when he uncorked a two-lap spurt for a crowd of spectators that approached the 5000 mark. The distance runners from Indiana, Jimmy Smith, Tom Deckard, Applegate and Don Lash, lowered the time in the four-mile relay, and Michigan bettered previous performances in the university twomile relay. Other team , scoring: Indiana, 23 1-3; Kansas' Teachers (Pittsburg. 21%; Butler, 20%; Michigan State, 14 1-3; Notre Dame, 14; Purdue, 6; Ohio U., 5; Michigan Normal, 5; De Pauw, 5; Miami, 2.
low qnd he climbs to the top, he sticks to Billy Taub’s things on the theory that they may help him stay there. “Not many weeks ago I delivered a suit to Dick Shikat, the wrestler, for the first time. A few nights later he whipped O’Mahoney, the champion, and automatically took over the title.” tt tt tt MAXIE BAER likes fancy frills in his clothes, the universal tailor says, with the “latest things” in shirred-backed coats and so forth. Mr. Taub plans to go on from Chicago to California to deliver a few “jeans” to the former playboy champ. Gene Tunney, in contrast, wants his attire plain and simple. Joe Louis orders smart suits of rich silky material, Mr. Taub says. Jack Dempsey wants ’em trim and business-like but nothing extra. tt a THE Broadway hobbyist augments his conversation with a stack of pictures showing himself with about every "well-known” from the Prince of Wales to Primo Camera. He crosses the country and back again about four times annually. He’s a star sports forecaster, it seems, and the boys keep a somewhat close tab on his selections. He says he predicted Braddock’s surpriser over Baer. But they laughed at him on that one. He believes that Louis will stop Schmeling within three rounds, but not so with Braddock. He’s sold on Jimmy, and is positive the champ will go the route with the Brown Bomber. Mr. Taub is short, dark, and thickly set. He’s proud of his hobbies, as his speech reflects.
College Boxer Dies of Fractured Skull By United Press SACRAMENTO, Cal., March 23. Police today announced they will take no action in the death of Judson Hobart, member of the University of California at Los Angeles boxing team, who died yesterday from a skull fracture suffered in a final bout of the Pacific Coast intercollegiate boxing championships.

Frankfort to Tangle With Anderson, Ft. Wayne to Play Evansville Here Saturday Hot Dogs Face ‘Three-Game Jinx' in Fray With Indians at Fieldhouse; Two Centrals Vision First Championship in Tourney History. Seven hundred and eighty down and four to go! Three rigorous tourneys spread out over as many weeks today had cut down the original starting field in the annual high school basketball championship from 784 to four.
Those four quintets are survivors of semi-final meets held over the state Saturday, and return to their gyms today to keep in trim for next Saturday’s finals at the Butler fieldhouse. Two Centrals, of Fort Wayne and of Evansville, are to clash in the first tussle at 2 o'clock Saturday. Frankfort and Anderson meet at* 3, and the winners square off at 8 for the title. Frankfort, the choice of most observers and non-partisan fans, comes from the Gary semi-final. Anderson's Indians, still in the running to defend their 1935 crown, emerged handily from the Tech gym here by whipping Connersville and Crawfordsville. Central of Fort Wayne drove through Kokomo and Newcastle on the Muncie court. Central of Evansville is a surprise entrant from the Was fington semi-final where the Pocket City cagers upset New Albany and Washington.
Indians Reach Peak By United I’rcsx ANDERSON. Ind„ March 23. Squatting periously on a basketball, Coach Archie Chadd has brought the Anderson Indians further aioi. .* in defense of their Indiana Hig School basketball championshi > than the season’s record foretold Justs as Chadd has weaved from side to side on his spherical seat during heated campaign games, fortunes of the Indians have varied. They won only 11 of 22 games during the regular season, finishing eighth in the North Central Conference. Several of the victories resulted from late rallies. The Indians apparently have reached their peak in tournament competition, however, as they have hurdled the barriers with no less difficulty than experienced by other finalist teams. Bill Jackson, captain and forward, is the only member of the 1935 state championship squad available. The experience has made him the high scorer and most deceptive floor worker of the Tribe. Chadd has been coach at Anderson three seasons. In 1934 the Indians lost in the regionals to Technical of Indianapolis, ultimate runnerup to Logansport’s state champions. The Indians reached the final round by scoring two decisive victories in the semi-final tourney at Indianapolis Saturday. After a nip-and-tuck battle for three quarters with Connersville, the Chaddmen pulled away in the final period to a 27-15 triumph. The Indians trounced Crawfordsville in the night tilt, 27-12, Fort Wayne Eager Times Sperinl FORT WAYNE, Ind., March 23. — This historic city today tensed in eager anticipation of its first state tournament basketball finalist as Coach Murray Mendenhall's Central High School squad returned to the guns which have blasted out one of the state’s outstanding scoring records. In previous appearances at the Butler fieldhouse. Central never has advanced past the second round. North Side reached the semi-finals in 1933, losing to the ultimate champion. Martinsville. The Tigers have survived all tournament games with ease, winning all tilts by at least six points. Through the sectional and regional tests, the team scored at least 42 points in each game. Their 36 points against the Kokomo Cats gave them a 10-point margin Saturday and they resorted to a slow, deliberate attack in downing Newcastle, 24 to 18, to reach the Indianapolis finals. They are to oppose Central of Evansville in the opening tilt there Saturday. Mendenhall, with a wealth of reserve material, has juggled his eligibility list in each of the tournaments. A different starting lineup took the floor in each of the games Saturday. Steve Sitko who unofficially tops all state individual scorers, is the outstanding performer of Central's high-scoring aggregation. Hot Dogs Take Rest Times Special FRANKFORT. Ind.. March 23.
