By Eddie Ash THREE PLAYBOYS ON OLD CUBS m m m I AND GABBY HARTNETT WAS ONE
years ago when Joe McCarthy was manager of the Chicago Cubs and led them into a world series his three bad boys—night owls and Good Time Charlies—were Hack Wilson, Pat Malone and Gabby Hartnett. The off-the-field antics of the trio brought McCarthy many sleepless nights. They were brawling ball players of the old school. Night clubs were the playground of Hack, Pat and Gabby. Before McCarthy gave way to Rogers Hornsby as pilot and transferred to the New York Yankees, he succeeded in straightening out Hartnett. Gabby launched a comeback drive. Last year the big catcher was voted the most vital factor in the winning of the pennant. Wilson and Malone kept the night lights blazing. McCarthy's efforts were wasted on Hack and Pat. Now Wilson is out of baseball. From a home run king he folded up and kept sliding even when dropped to the minors. His batting eye left him and extra weight reduced his value as a fly chaser. Malone was given another chance by McCarthy with the Yankees last year and continued the high roller ways. He flopped and was ready for the discard when the Yankee chief offered him one rhore opportunity. Now Pat is riding the wagon. Maybe he'll make it. The answer will come after Malone receives a couple of pay checks. Ball players don’t collect salary during spring training. ana
The New York Giants dolled up for their spring exhibition games /by wearing their “doggy” new road uniforms. And they are snappy, bluish gray suits and the raps, sox, numerals and letters are robin r£g blue. a a a FOG ALLEN, coach of the Kansas Jayhawkcrs cage five, is trying to take the boo out of basketball. His team was given the Bronx cheer during a recent Olympic elimination tourney. He wiVl play his games only in campus gyms hereafter. Moreover, it is reported college teams are going to pass up Madison Square Garden (New York) dates next season. a a a DEL BAKEk, tmra oase coach with the Detroit Tigers, is said to be an expert signal burglar and tips off Bengal hitters as to what the opposing pitcher is going to use, fast ball or curve. Chief Bender of the old Athletics was an artist at pirating enemy “signs” and in the American Association Ben Tincup, Indian with Ipuisville, was hard to deceive. ana Tom Yawkey has made so many changes in (he Boston Red Sox that Johnny Welch, second string pitcher, is the “veteran” of the club. And he joined the team in 1932. All other players on the roster have come since then. a an Judge LANDIS, commissioner ot baseball, is no piker. While vacationing in Florida he pays to see exhibition games in spite of the fact his pockets are filled with guest tickets. According to the Brooklyn club, the Judge has paid more than SIOO at the Clearwater gate for himself and friends. a a a Joe Krakauskas, recruit pitcher with Washington, plans to have his name changed to Lawrence. In International League box scores last year, Krakauskas, abbreviated, looked something like "K’k’k's.” a a a PETE JABLONOWSKI, also a tryout on the Washington staff, rhanged his name to Appleton. He is a veteran. Pete graduated from the University of Michigan frith an A. B. degree. He calls it an At Bat degree.

Reynoldstown Is Repeater in Grand National Race First Horse Since 1870 to Win Two Successiv’e Classics; Avenger, Favorite, Killed in Fall. By United Press AINTREE, England, March 27. —Maj. Noel Furlong's Reynoldstown made turf history today when he'won the seventy-ninth Grand National Steeplechase, the first horse since 1870 to win two successive Grand Nationals over the Aintree Course.
Last year’s winner proved himself a great champion when he galloped hime 12 lengths in front of Sir David Llewellyn’s Ego, with James V. Rank’s Bachelor Prince trailing Ego by six lengths. A wildly excited crowd of perhaps 200.000 gathered a.t the historic course outside Liverpool for the race, which was worth approximately 27,500 to the winner, and involved millions of dollars in winnings to those who bet and hold tickets in the Irish Sweepstakes. ' A groan went up when Mrs. Violet Mundy's Avenger, which had been made last-minute betting favorite at 100 to 30, fell on the first time around and was killed. Several thousand Americans were at the course, most of them cheering on G. H. (Pete) Bostwick, the American sportsman, who rode his own Castle irwell into seventh place. Only seven horses of the 35 which started actually finished in the race, although three others were remounted and completed the course, making them officially finishers. The 10, in order, with betting odds, were: Reynoldstown, 10 to 1; Ege, 50 to 1; Bachelor Prince, 66 to 1; Crown Prince, 66 to 1; Inversible, 40 to 1; Provocative, 33 to 1; Sastle Irwell, 8 to 1; Double Crossed, 20

INDIANA AWAITS START OF BASKET DERBY
Frankfort’s Crafty Team Is Popular Choice Over Three Strong Contenders Hoosicr Cage Fans Balance the Strength of Anderson, Fort Wayne and Evansville Which Ended Season at Fast Gait. BY HARRISON MILLER Curfew shall not toll in the hamlets and village squares tonight. Indiana holds Its last wake before the state basketball finals and th?re will be more games played in fancy than occupied the schedules of 784 Hoosier teams this season.
A crowd of 200,000 saw Reynoldstown, 'pictured here ivith Jockey F. Walwyn up, win the Grand National Steeplechase, greatest test of horse racing, at Aintree England, today. It is an event of more than four miles with 30 difficult jumps. Thirty-five started, only 10 finished.
to 1; Morrland View, 66 to 1; Comedian, 100 to 1. Mrs. Dorothy Paget’s Gilden Miller was heavily backed, but fell at the first fence, repeating his erratic performance of last year. He was remounted but did not finish. Davy Jones was the “hard luck” horse of the race. He led the field most of the way, but ran out just before the finish when one of his reins broke. The last horse to win twice irf succession over the Aintree Grand National course was The Colonel in 1869 and 1870. Poethlyn won the Grand National in 1918 and 1919 but the 1918 race was run over a substitute course at Gatwick because of the World War. The time of the race was 9 minutes 27 seconds, compared to the record of 9:20 1-5 set by Reynoldstown last year. The distance is 4 miles 856 yards, with 30 hard jumps. DODGER ROOKIE READY CLEARWATER, Fla., March 27. Max Butcher's impressive hurling debut with the Dodgers brought the smile back to Manager Casey Stengel’s face today, despite Brooklyn’s defeat yesterday by Rochester, 6-2. Butcher, whose debut had been delayed by an Infected knee, pitched the first five innings.
FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1936
All goes for naught. Tomorrow the past will be scrapped and 40 sons of Indiana march into the Butler Fieldhouse for the glory that is theirs. Achievements of a season remain only as foundations for building castles. Four teams must stand on their own and ask the intercession of the breaks of the game. No matter how it is garbled, the pattern remains the same as the last bracket of the four-week tournament is terminated. They’re All Good Frankfort dominates the predictions, is the ranking favorite and is always a strong tournament contender. Anderson, the defending champion, stands next in post position, is a thoroughbred and has increased its stride in the stretch. Fort Wayne, is a high-geared scoring powerhouse which has not been pressed in tournaments, has not that confidence which is built by years of prestige, but is a potential champion. Evansville, the darkhorse, came into its own last week, has overcome the handicap of illness, and Is capable of onfe or two upsets. It is to be a tournament of champions, and champions do not flinch under fire. Frankfort took the North Central Conference in stride while amassing its remarkable record. Anderson claims the outstanding championship of them all, the state diadem. Fort Wayne swept the North Eastern Indiana Conference. Evansville Late Central of Evansville started too late in Southern Indiana Conference competition. It established its power in the tournament last week by defeating Washington and New Albany, the champion and runnerup. If Frankfort ascends the throne tomorrow night, the superlatives of praise should rightly be heaped upon its head. Against the strongest opposition in the state, Coach Everett Case has guided the team to 27 victories this year.

A three-way battle for the thirtyfourth annual title was i;i prospect today as 60 survivors ot a crack professional golfing brigade prepared to tee off in the delayed 36hole finale of the North and South Open. Ray Mangrum, Henry Picard and Gene Sarazen were the three leaders. Mangrum, Texas youngster, set the pace with a sub-par 141 at the midway mark. Picard, one of the biggest money-winners of the winter tournaments, was close with 143, and the veteran Sarazan was two strokes farther back with 145. Paul Runyan, White Plains, N. Y„ defending champion, was in fourth place with 146, within striking distance of the leaders.

Coach Everett Case has never missed a state tournament. He places this year’s squad as one of the three best he has ever built. The others surely were the state champions of 1925 and 1929.
