Garden, March 9, 14 and 16. .
.. The first round will con-
sist of two games played betwden four teams from the Metropolitan and other Eastern areas. The semifinals will be made up of winners of the Eastern eliminations and two teams which have unusual records in districts removed from the Atlantic seaboard. « . . The survivors will qualify for the final round, which
will draw clubs selected from
leaders of the Pacific Coast,
Rocky Mountain, Midwest and Southern districts.

LTHOUGH a few of the better teams may be unable to accept invitations because of Conference rulings against post-season games, there will be enough talent to make it a high-powered tournament. A similar venture was staged in Indianapolis in the early Twenties and some interesting basketball was played at the Fair Grounds, but the event flopped at the box
office. .
.. Wabash scored a grand slam and easily carried
off the tourney championship because at that time the
Little Giants measured up to their nickname. . . .
The
Scarletclads had a powerful team and college squads from other sections of the nation were no match for them on
the hardwood.
The invading players tried hard enough and the entertainment was worth the money for the sports-goers who were curious to see what the far-away colleges had to
offer in basketball.

Oid Order Gone, Mac Says; * Dizzy Dean Won’t Talk
By HENRY
M'LEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Feb. 8—To the hills, men!
a second to spare! Don't pause to aid the laggards The revolution is at hand!
And there isn't
or you'll be too late.
Today—in a five word utterance—I heard the death sentence on the established order of things, ‘and any moment now you may expect the
leopard to start changing his spots, two and two quit making four. and birds of a feather stop flocking together. Dizzy Dean was the man who uttered the five words. He uttered them to me, and they were this: “I have nothing to say!” And he didn't. He meant it. I argued with him the best I could, pointing out the seriousness of such a statement from him. I told him that his constant bellowing was just as much a part of this nation as the Constitution, Betsy Ross, and states rights. And that if he kept silent --if only for a day—the citizens would become panicky and anything might happen. But he would not yield. Even when I brought up the subject of Dizzy Dean, his favorite topic of conversation, he refused to say a word.
All Argument Fails
When this climatic effort failed I knew it was no use arguing, so I
“fell to studying Dizzy hoping to de-
termine the cause for this drastic change in personality. Naturally, with Dizzy refusing to say anything my study had to be confined to outward appearances. In the face, Dizzy still is the Dizzy of several years ago when he was fresh out of Texas and funds. His beauty then was of what I believe is catalogued as the “honest, pioneer, and rugged” type. It still is. His hiead is a bit larger than when he was chucking for Houston, but would still be described as a “fast ball pitcher” shape. And as for his physique, he remains only a leopard skin away from Tarzan. Perhaps Dizzy’s clothes have changed his personality. There was a time when no one would have had any difficulty distinguishing between him and Anthony Eden, but today Diz could spot the dapper British foreign minister a pair of spats and lick him 2 to 1 and 3 to 0 in a sartorial double-header.
The Last Straw
When I saw him he was wearing & sports outfit that left nothing to be desired, unless it was a color movie camera in the hands of the for Tig
A
undergone a tremendous change. Only recently he was made an honorary member of the Daytona Beach Women's Golf Association, an honor which he accepted with a speech that bYlended perfectly with the pastel tinted walls of the clubroom in which he stood. To date he hasn't said a bitter word against the Cardinals, Branch Rickey, or Sam Breadon. I find the situation alarming.
Miami-Nassau Race Is Begun
MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 8 (U. P)— Stormy Weather, veteran of many sailing races and owned by Robert W. Johnson of New York, headad a fleet of 16 trim craft starting the fifth annual Miami-to-Nassau yacht race at noon today. a Weather conditions for the race, which will take the craft over a 184-nautical mile course across the Gulf Stream to Nassau in the Bahamas, were ideal. Moderate to fresh northeast winds, were indicated. Stormy Weather, which sailed through the tricky cross-currents of the Gulf Stream last year in 30 hours 14 minutes 30 seconds and won the trophy with a corrected time of 25 hours 12 minutes 2¢ seconds, was the favorite. Her strongest opposition was expected from K. B. Nobel's Silvana, a 35-foot jib~headed cutter which won the last New York-to-Ber-muda race, and Kittyhawk VII,
Club. The entries range in size from the 26-foot cutter Vandal, owned by W. T. Price Jr. of Miami, smallest boat ever entered in the race, to the 79foot Augusta Verde, owned by Francis A. Martin.
MIZE'S NOT PARTICULAR

Two bowlers today had joined the ranks of 700 shooters for the first time this season. Earl Stumpf of the Evangelical . League and Stewart Smith of the North Side Businessmen’s loop turned in the high scores in last night's league
play. Smith had games of 226, 247 and 241, which combined with two additional honor counts from team mates, gave the Clif Meier 1 Co. a 3089 series and a three-ga victory over Kolman Whiskers in the North Side League, which rolls at the Parkway Alleys.

A trio of double centuries gave Crawford a 653, that proved the top individual series of the Indianapolis Automotive League bowling at the Hotel Antlers Alleys. Lou Dennerline also topped 600 in this loop, getting a 634. All team clashes were decided through odd-game decisions. A 645 by Unger and a 626 by John Held Jr. were the top scores of the Reformed Church League session at the Pritchett Alleys. The big totals annexed three games for the First Reformed No. 1 team, the only sweep of the evening. Trinity, Immanuel No. 1, Second Reformed No. 3, Immanuel No. 2 and Second Reformed turned in double wins. Simmons, through a 244 middle game, was the circuit's remaining honor shooter.
Holy Cross Scores
The lone 800 totals in the Holy Cross League at the Fountain Square Alleys, were registered in the Maley Grocery-Oriental Tavern match, won throu a shutout by the former. Hugh O'Gara collected 638 pins for the winners, while Len Sylvester paced the losers with a 615. Jesse Smythe again proved his superiority in the State Highway wheel, getting a 631 to lead his rivals. Les Brandt turned in the top total of the Indianapolis Church League, a 618. The Highway bowlers were in action at the Pritchett Alleys, while the Church loop performed at the Fountain Square.

months, Montanez lacked his usual fire, but despite this he had enough on the ball to take all but three rounds from the youthful Speigal and gain the unanimous decision. The bout was witnessed by 4000 fans who paid $7200 at the turnstiles, one of the biggest gates of the winter season here. Montanez was superior to Speigal in virtually every department. Working with a weight advantage of 614 pounds, he administered a firstclass’ boxing lession to his younger and less experienced opponent. Montanez weighed 138, Speigal 131%. Although Speigal’s face and body

Gehrig Spurns New Contract For $36,000
Ruppert Refuses 15 Per Cent Increase; Holdouts Now Exceed 40.
NEW YORK, Feb. 8 (U, P.) —Lou Gehrig, first baseman of the New York Yankees, today refused to sign a contract for $36,000, the sal-
ary he received last year. After an hour conference with Col.
Jacob Ruppert, owner of the
be | Yankees, Gehrig said they had not
reached an agreement. He said he wanted a 15 per cent increase to $41,400. Ruppert refused those terms. When Gehrig and Ruppert left the conference room, Ruppert smiled and said to newspapermen: “There's the two-gun man right there. You can handle him. I'm through.” Gehrig joins some 40 major league baseball players who are dissatisfied with the contracts offered them and may be termed ‘‘holdouts,” a survey showed. Holdout No. 1 1s Joe DiMaggio, New York Yankees outfielder, who turned down Col. Jake Ruppert's $25,000 and asked for $40,000 without batting one of his dark brown eyes. First signs of weakening in this salary scrap were shown by DiMaggio when he said he “might take $30,000.” Red Ruffing, Yanks’ pitcher, was the most stubborn holdout last season, refusing to come to terms until May 5. The two leading candi-

With only two shows left on the Golden Gloves calendar and with many high class amateurs left in the competition, the caliber of boxing is expected to improve by producing a flock of close matches and hard punching. Reserved seat tickets are on sale at Haag’s Claypool Hotel drugstore. The price is $1 for ringside and the first row in the balcony. A near-capacity crowd turned out at last week's show.
Thirty or more bouts will be staged this week if all eligible boxers pass the physical examinations.

Vice President Branch Rickey says Stripp will be the hardest Cardinal to sign and that he anticipates no real trouble swinging Dizzy Dean, Joe Medwick and Johnny Mize into line. Derringer’s salary has been slashed from $17,600 to $7500. He has asked to be traded but the Reds haven't found any club seriously interested.

Detector ‘Unfair,’ Anglers Insist
Ardent anglers today viewed with considerable misgivings the use of a lie detector on one of the members in good standing at last night's meeting of the Marion County Fish & Game Association. The contraption was attached to D. H. Roby, who was grilled on a 50pound catfish he said he caught on a flyrod at Freeman Lake. The up=shot of it was, according to those present, that the lie detector took to vibrating and gyrating quite vio lently and seemed to take exception to Mr. Roby’s claims, Mr. Roby stood by his guns, though, and there the matter seems to rest but the unanimous verdict of the nimrods was that the de tector is most “unfair’—at least to those who like to tell about the big ones. Dr. K. B. Mayhall, association president, explained plans for the exhibition to be sponsored by the association at the Sportsman’s Show at the Fair Grounds, March 5-12.
