\ THEY'VE HAD an unusual amount of snow in, Kentucky this winter—and that is of benefit to horses with ailing legs. . . . Snow subdues the inflammation, gives the lower part of the legs a chance to mend, and is a general all-round “patcher-upper” for cripples. ~~~ But the presence of so much snow in the Blue Grass region caused a slight alteration of the plans of horsemen,

who are training 3-year-olds for the 66th Kentucky Derby,

to be run at Churchhill Downs, May 4...

Quigley Explains New Pitching Rule

ERNIE QUIGLEY, umpire-in-chief of. the National League, in explaining thé new pitching rule, says it allows the hurler to use the same relaxed motions on the mound during a game that he employs in warming up. . . . He claims the hurlers never pitched in a game like they warmed up. “They would warm up free and loose and easy and come to the mound and tighten up in an effort to keep the legal stance on the rubber,” Quigley says.’ : ” 8 8 ” » ”

JOHNNY VANDER MEER, southpaw hurler wha, suffered a revefsal of form last season after pitching two no-hitters in 1938, said recently he was going to the Cincinnati Reds’ camp at Tampa this spring “as a busher.” ; 3 . : He added: “I'll just try to prove to Eill McKechnie that I have the stuff. I'm sure I can make the grade.” : Johnny expects the new pitching rule to help him greatly in staging a comeback. . . . He claims his natural pitching motion dalled for moving other than the pivot foot and with that restriction removed, he should regain his previous form. . . . In his opinion, the new rule will be of greater assistance to young pitchers than to veterans, ~ who have become set in their ways. :

Better Watch For Those Underdogs!

| Sectionals Are Week Off; "Ws Time for Doping

: By UNITED PRESS : It’s one week to the day from the first whistle in Indiana's spring-

basketball tourney, and the crying towels already are making the rounds with abandon in more than one sectional where the shooting is bound to be tough. Among them are Ft. Wayne, where North and South Side meet and also face a small-timer named Leo;

school hanging around the edges of their sectionals, but none. of the three is out in the clear for regional play yet. 7 3 For the state’s trio of undefeated, Mooreland, Greenwood and Gas City, are waiting with bated breath for a chance to chop off a chunk of Trojan, Grizzlie Cub or Giant. Franklin's path appears the hardest. Not only is Greenwood victorious in 19 straight games plus a county tourney, but most of its triumphs have been by easy margins, and among the victims are some: of the so-called upper class fives. Franklin, too, hasn't appeared up to its usual par this year, and so— gray hairs for Fuzzy Vandivier.

Greenwood’s Not Small

Greenwood’s not a small club. The boys are probably as tall and heavy as the state’s average and with the

~ |los of George Crowe, last year’s all-

state center for the Grizzlies, the Franklin five isn’t a bit huskier nor larger. And the Woodmen have two plenty powerful scorers in Bass and Curt Hefbert. The chances of their carrying an undefeated record into the tourney appear excellent today as they face a weak Edinburg team tomorrow. : : New Castle's Strings Allen, although sprouting a few of the gray ones, hasn't as much cause to worry about the Mooreland quintet that his Trojans probably will face, as his * club appears much stronger

close 31-27 decision going to The Bulldogs, how-

ever, still need a victory over DePauw Saturday night to win the Indiana Conference title inasmuch as Indiana Central kept up its

|winning ways against Manchester.

But however the DePauw game comes out, the season will be a personal victory for ‘Butler's little Jerry. Steiner. He boosted his season's scoring total last night to 188, two better than the all-time Butler mark established by Oral Hildebrand before he entered the ball-and-bat, business. 2 For a while last night it seemed that the Butler-Wabash pattern cut out earlier at the Fieldhouse was going to be used again. Wabash; duplicated its first-half performance and held an 18-17 lead at the intermission, the identical count of the game at Indianapolis. j

lapsed completely in the second act, and Butler walfzed off ‘with a topheavy triumph. But Wabash'’s team and 500 deep-throated rooters, equipped with megaphones and ready to go into a victory celebration at the drop of a Sphinx Club hat, were determined that wouldn't happen again. ; Butler soon regained the lead, however, on a free throw by Bob Dietz and a one-hander by Jim Mc-

Cray. Rawling Ransom’s long toss

brought the Little Giants to. within four points of their Indianapolis guests at 24-20 to set the stage for Capt. Steiner's record-breaking twopointer. : Jerry’s under-the-basket goal gave him a season total of 187, just one more than the all-time Butler mark. That was the high point of the game -for several hundred Butler fans who had borrowed pop'’s car for the evening and driven the girl friend over. Bulldog representatives at the scorers’ table previously had passed the word around on how Jerry was doing so no one would miss the cheer session, :

Cavemen Weren't Scared :

That outburst didn’t slow Wabash : any, and baskets by Ransom and Fred Rhode brought the count to Butler, 27; Wabash, 25. Loren Joseph's free throw gave the Bulldogs a three-point advantage, but Jim Phillips’ long shot narrowed that margin again. - With less than three minutes to play, a slight misunderstanding arose that threatened to turn into some fist-throwing, and Referee ‘A. E.' Pitcher banished both Steiner and Rhode. Steiner made a free throw before leaving that gave his mates a 31-27 lead. ) After that the Bulldogs voted to “i¢e” the ball. Wabash, unable to find an anti-freeze solution, never regained possession. : Byron (Ben) Gunn was immunc to the Wabash hooting at the outset of the game and scored Butler's first five points. Lyle Neat’s hook shot upped the Bulldog margin to 7-2, before the Little Giants had their first run of prosperity. Rhode and Phillips provided that with successive field goals.
