Veteran St. Mary’s Five Seeks Third State Title
(First of PT. WAYNE, Ind, Feb. 23 (U.
a Series)
P.).—The Gallopin’ Gaels from St.
Mary’s High of Anderson have everything—height, experience, speed and
co-ordihation.
Only three teams—Cathedral of Indianapolis, Reitz Memorial of Evansville and Central Catholic of Ft. Wayne—seriously threaten the Gaels in their march toward their third consecutive Indiana State
Catholic High School basketballo—
championship. The tourney is to be held here Friday, Saturday and » Sunday. St. Mary's has six of last year’s lettermen back. Three of them have been regulars for four years. They're bigger, and Anderson fans say they're better, than last season when they won 19 of 25 games. Capt. Welsh, forward, towers 6 feet 2 inches. His offensive partner, Hoppy Hopkins, measures 5 feet 8 inches, but makes up in speed what he lacks in height. Tyska, center, stands 6 feet 2 inches; Suchocki, guard, 5 feet 10 inches, and Cox, the other defensive man, .'5 feet 8 inches. Welsh, Tyska and Suchocki are four-year men.
Lot of Reserve Power
Coach Buck Shaw has plenty of reserve power, too. There's Able, 6-foot center-forward; Blotkamp, guard, and Broderick, Hexamer and “ Libler, forwards. All measure nearly 6 feet, xeon: Libler. Since Shaw began coaching the team six years ago, his quintets have won 103 games and lost 34, Last year St. Mary's defeated . Memorial of Evansville, 38 to 29, to win the state crown. The Decatur Catholic High School Commodores have a good record for the season. None of the five starters has had more than two years’ experience—a serious handicap in tournament competition. R. Hess, .8-foot-2-inch center and forward, was ineligible for first semester play Hue 1s back 1 hae His return shas strengthened the Commodores. . Two Sparkling Guards { Coach George F. Laurent, serving .shis 11th year as Ducat - meniar: ‘has two sparkling guards - lig and A. Baker, both two-year men. W. Voglewede, 5 feet 11% inches, is the regular center. Hess -and Bolinger usually occupy the ‘forward positions. The team is jabous, average height. Reserves in-
e Hain and V. Tanvas, guards, | {and Kuhnle, Roop and Hackman, | “forwards.
Louis Szabo has a scrappy quintet, though small. Usual starters are Orosz and Waldvogel, forwards; Ruff, center, and Fetters and De Volder, guards. . Reserves include Sosnoski and Kline, forwards; Ruetz, center, and Dhoore and Meizel, guards.. This is the first year the Indians have played a regular schedule. Last year they won three of seven games.
Perry in Dispute With Tax Officer
MIAMI, Fla. Feb. 23 (U. P.)— Fred Perry, English tennis star, indignantly refused today to follow United States regulation on departures of aliens from this country. But the Government's representative was just as determined and noly intercession by Ellsworth Vines, Perry’s colleague in a professional tennis troupe, allowed the British ace to leave by plane for Nassau. The Federal law at issue was one requiring any alien leaving the United States to have his income tax paid, by showing proof of payment, by paying it or by posting bond equal to his previous. year’s payment. Finally the officer agreed to allow Perry to leave when Vines, guaranteed Perry’s return to this country and guaranteed payment of Perry’ s income tax.

(Joe Williams, Page One; Radio Details, Page 17.)
By STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Feb. 23—Joe Louis held a weight advantage of 6% pounds over Nathan Mann when they were examined today for their world heavyweight championship prize fight tonight. The champion weighed 200 and Mann 193%.
Louis weighed three pounds more than he did for his first title defense against Tommy Farr last autumn, and three pounds less than he had expected to weigh. Mann was more than three pounds over his expected weight of 190. The weighin was conducted Jat Madison Square Garden, scene of the fight. Louis and Mann shook hands before the weighin, but did not talk. r. William Walker, State Athletic Commission physician, 'reported both men in good condition, but said that Mann was extremely nervous. His blood pressure was high. and his pulse beat fast. Louis was quite normal.
Odds Are 4 to 1
It was announced that Manager Julian Black, trainer Jack Blackburn and assistant trainer Manny Seaman would be in Louis’ corner. Comanager Jimmy De Angelo and Billy Brown, and trainer Ray Arcell will be with Mann. The betting odds remained at 4 to 1 favoring Louis. For the first time this week, there was some activity in wagering. This was attributed to the arrival of Connecticut fans, who have a sentimental interest in Mann. Promoter Mike Jacobs said he expected all tickets to be sold by midafternoon. The weather was bad. There was intermittent rainfall and the skies were heavily overcast. No one but Mann and his entourage give him more than an outside chance of lasting the route. In fact, many observers look for a Louis kayo victory inside of five rounds. This universal belief has had a depressing effect upon the betting but has in no way marred the ticket sale. So far there just hasn’t been any real betting but this afternoon special trains, bringing an expected 5000 Connecticut fight fans, arrive at Grand Central and the 1-4 odds on a Louis victory may start to attract business.
Sellout Is Indicated
Continued assaults on the box office last night and this morning were expected to make the show a sellout. As early as yesterday it was impossible to buy choice seats. And so by the time Louis and Mann enter the ring a turnaway of hundreds if not jJhousands of would-be spectators is ‘probable. If Mann should achieve the improbable he would have supplied boxing with its greatest upset since Jim Corbett put the slug on John L. Sullivan. This, however, is the age of ring miracles. In recent years we have had ‘the Braddock-Baer and Schmeling-Louis upsets, and in recent weeks or days Braddock has beaten Farr; Apostoli has beaten Steele, and Escobar has beaten Jeffra. All of these results were contrary to what experts had listed as certainties, and they may be giving Mann some crumbs of comfort.
More Than a Tuneup
Actually the Mann fight is a “tune-up” for Louis’ title scrap with Max Schmeling next summer. When it was first scheduled it was not given the importance" attached to Louis’ first title defense, achieved against Tommy Farr ‘last autumn. Nor has it since acquired any special importance. However, every appearance of a heavyweight champion is a title defense and one lucky punch can upset one dynasty and create another. The cries of anguish which would go up from Promoter Mike Jacobs (who controls Louis) and from Manager Joe Jacobs (who represents Schmeling) should Mann win, are too terrible even to contemplate. The fight will start at approximately 9 p. m., Indianapoils Time. It will be broadcast over NBC's Blue network.

MRS. GOMEZ FILES ALIMONY PLEA TODAY
NEW YORK, Feb. 23 (U.

The singer seeks to sever the ties between her and Vernon (Lefty)
Gomez, ace pitcher of the New York Yankees.
Corbett Trips Fred Apostoli
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23 (U. P.).—Young Corbett III, a fighter the experts considered washed up five years ago when Babyface Jimmy McLarnin knocked him out in one round to win the welterweight title, ws claimed the unofficial world : European middleweight crowns. The squat, 33-year-old Italian from Fresno and his claims to the two titles were based on his decisive victory yesterday over the ‘“uncrowned . champion,” youn g Freddie Apostoli of San Francisco. Apostoli was considered the best man in the 160-pound division by virtue ‘of his knockout victory over the world’s champion Freddie Steele in an overweight bout. He was recognized as the European champion through his victory last year over Marcel Thil of France. Yesterday he was only the second best man in the division as the lefthanded Corbett outpointed him over the 10-round route, taking five rounds, dropping three and battling on even terms in the other two. It was the kind of a fight another cagey veteran, Jim Braddock, fought | against Tommy Farr recently. Corbett started fast, taking the first four rounds. Then through the middle of the fight, he let Apostoli push him, saving himself for the finish. The veteran came out fighting in the ninth ard he took that and the 10th to earn Referee Toby Irwin’s decision. The fight was on an overweight basis, with Corbett coming in at 160% pounds, so that Apostoli did not surrender his European title. Most of the 20,000 jammed into Seals Stadium for the outdoor holiday bout were for Corbett, although it was former bellboy Apostoli’s first home town fight since his Eastern campaign, in which he defeated Steele and Glen Lee. ~
