By Eddie Ash DEMPSEY FAMILIAR WITH WORK m u tt LOADED COAL—I3 CENTS A TON

JACK DEMPSEY, first of the millionaire prize fighters, earned sl7 for 15 days’ work in a Huntington (W. Va.) coal mine in 1913. lie was on the pay roll as Harry Dempsey, the name he was known by in his boyhood. The official “handle’’ is William Harrison Dempsey. To the coal company checker, however, he was just No. 22. It has been revealed by persons with a flare for digging up odd facts that the time 1 sheet of the Huntington company showed that Jack loaded 132 tons of coal at 13 cents a ton. Like time, Dempsey marched on, but it was hard going at first. But 14. years after tossing the coal around at Huntington for 13 cents a ton Jack received approximately $25,000 a minute for his iG-round bout with Gene Tunney in Chicago the night a long count prevented him from regaining the world heavyweight crown. Recently an antique dealer in Huntington wrot< Dempsey that he had a spinning wheel which had been owned by Jack's mother—and a sales price of $75 was asked. “That’s generous of you,” replied the old Manassa Mauler, “but my mother never had a spinning wheel.”

tt tt tt OSSIE SIMMONS, fleet University of lowa Negro half back, is preparing to stay before the public after college days are over. He blossomed out as a radio crooner the other night and also tap dances and plays the trap drums. u tt a There are three unrelated Kellers on the University of Maryland baseball squad—Charlie Keller, Ralph Keller and Joe Keller. Charlie is a cloutcr. • Casey Stengel calls his Brooklyn fly chasers the “outfield of a century.” Freddie Lindstrom is 31, Johnny Cooney 35 and Oscar Eckhardt 34—total, 100. a a tt THIS is just another quiet day on the sports front. If you don't watch out you’ll be upset hy a wild bowling ball, and even if you do watch out a basketball may bounce oil your noggin. To say nothing of having your bones bent by the A. A. U. wrestlers. All on one day in Indianapolis. March marches on.

Curtain Lifts for Last Act in Basket Classic It Will Be All Over Tonight; Four Powerful Cage Machines Are Tuned to ‘Shoot Works.’ BY HARRISON MILLER It’s the end of the trail tonight on the Hoosier hardwood highways with four paths from tourneys at Muncie, Gary, Vincennes and Tech gym ending at the Butler Fieldhouse. Four fast traveling basketball

machines are to retrace their tracks tonight. One will year the chalice of victory which was sought by 873 others. Rocky roads and smooth surfaces have wended their way from nearly every hamlet and city in the state through the various sectionals, regionals and semi-finals. Tonight at 8 on the Butler court, where eight previous champions have been crowned, anew king will ascend the throne in this 26-year-old classic. Survivors of the two afternoon games will take the spotlight at 8 with a capacity crowd of 14,883 banked high on all sides. Central of Fort Wayne and Central of Evansville cross paths at 2 today. Frankfort and Anderson take the stage at 3. All in Full Stride Superseding all achievements of the season, the cavalcade of Indiana youth is to march to the scene ih full stride. Each squad propelled its way triumphantly through a tournament marked by impending obstacles. Each has the markings of a thoroughbred. Ghosts of former court immortals will hover over the proceedings. There are the memories of the long game-winning basket scored by Secrist when Muncie defeated Martinsville in 1928. Da\ r e DeJernet's two baskets in the closihg seconds of Washington’s victory over Shortridge and fresh in the memories of fans. Hall of Fame Names of new heroes will be engraved in the hall of Hoosier fame which is rich with murals of the Spradlings and the Unroes, Vandiver, Stonebraker, Gant, Wooden, Tackett, Walters and others. The Gimble prize, Symbolic of the true strain of sportsmanship, mental attitudes and conduct which the sport fosters, awaits some outstanding player. James Lvboult of Richmond was given the honor last year. History is studded with sensational performances and prominent names. Amg the line, Frankfort has contributed much to the prestige of the hardwood classic. Frankfort again attracts the spotlight in the 1936 episode. The Casemen’s pedestal is built of the outstanding record in the state. They have surged through a season replete with sparkling play. Only Tiptonforced them into low gear in the second game of the year. Tech of Indianapolis matched their pace in a double overtime tie encounted. Aside from that the 27 victories speak for themselves They ruled the North Central Conference roost. Frankfort typically represents the acme of Indiana basketball. Yet Frankfort does not dominate the plaudits of the crowd. Anderson, Fort Wayne and Evansville deserve the utmost in praise. Fort Wayne, with % shoring attack

SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1936

packed with power, is champion of the North Eastern Indiana Conference and makes its bid for the pinnacle with 10 potent sharpshooters, piloted by the veteran general, Murray Mendenhall. Five times Mendenhall has introduced strong combinations at the stale finals. In as many attempts they have never survived the second gaue. It is the chance of a lifetime for the Tigers. Mendenhall guided his players through a difficult season, building them for a climax. He had 12 eager players. All have shared in the limelight to such an extent that Mendy is perplexed when asked for the starting lineup. One Comparison The team lost only to Bedford, Andersoh, Newcastle, South Side %nd Huntington. The Bedford game offers the'only comparison between the Tigers and their opponents today. Bedford defeated Evansville, 28 to 26, in the last game of the season. The Stonecutters won handily, 34 to 19, over Fort Wayne. Experience emphasizes that scores are no indication. The Anderson-Frankfort tilt will be a battle of stars and a battle of startegy. The crafty Everett Case, who has given Frankfort two state champs and has never failed to bring his team to the state finals, will match wits with Archie Chadd, the “Little Napoleon” of the defending, title-holders. Chadd Is Prepared The Hot Dogs have two notches in their belt. They took the rnaesure of the Indians, 23 to 18 <-.nd 22 to 17, this year. Chadd charted both games. Case will have to pull something new from his sleeve to repeat. The game is billed as a battle between an unconmierable offense and an almost impregnafle defense. Frankfort has averaged 43 points in tournament games this year. Anderson has held opponents to an average of 16 points each game. Just what happens when the irresistable force encounters the immovable object has never been determined by scientists, but in Hoosier basketball something must snap. Such is the setting and cast for •be current classic. GARCIA WINS BOUT HOLLYWOOD, Cal., March 28. Ceferino Garcia, 147, Manila, technically knocked out Lou Halper, 149. Newark, N.

QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 20 years, and calomel's oldtime enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation. Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, just a healing, soothing vegetable laxative, mild and pleasant. No griping is the "keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-col-ored tablets. They help cause the bowels to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a “dark brown mouth** —bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick headache caused by constipation —you should find quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two of I>r. Edwards Olive Tablets. Thousands fake them to keep right; Try them, 15c, 30c, 60c.—Advertisement.
