"SEVENTY American Legion Junior Baseball graduates performed in the major leagues last year and others ‘were 112ted on the rosters of the many minor league clubs. Another group of youngsters from Legion teams will start up the ladder to fame this year, according to a sur-

“vey published in the National Legionnaire.

Legion posts in many cities and towns throughout the nation can boast of at least one Joungsier in either the majors or the minors. . . . But few cities of 25,000 population can boast of three former Legion players now making the headlines with the American and National Leagues. :

>Quoting the National Legionnaire: “It is interesting to note that when you find these lads making good you also find some Legtonnaire who has taken over the responsibility of playing godfather to thesé boys. . . . Gastonia, N. C., scene of many National Junior Baseball tournaments and a hotbed of Junior Baseball enthusiasm, is one town with three former Legion juniors doing their stuff in the majors.

“They are Buddy Lewis, Legion player in 1933, now starring for the Washington Senators; Frank Melton, another junior star of 1933, now on the Philadelphia Phillies’ roster who was drafted from the Columbus American Association club last fall, and Lawrence Davis, infielder with thé Philadelphia Athletics, who played Legion ball in Gastonia in 1935. “The Gastonia Legionnaire who has guarded the welfare and guided the footsteps of these boys is Brown Wilson, . cotton broker, who is the Department Junior Baseball director for the American Legion in North Carolina this year.

Takes His Payoff in Pride Over Success

“WILSON BECAME interested

in Junior Baseball in 1930 and

was post athletic officer when his team, with Lewis and Melton starring, won its way into the Eastern finals, held that year at

Springfield, O.

“Wilson knows ahd takes his baseball seriously, and early sensed

the possibility for boys professional ranks. . guided correctly,

playing in the junior program breaking into He also realized these youngsters had to be and immediately took over the job.

“His only remuneration has been the satisfaction of seeing his

‘lads make good. . . . There are ma ferent sections of the country.”

Draft May Take Big Ten Stars

CHICAGO, Feb. 24 (U. P). — Selective service may deprive Big Ten teams of at least two dozen athletes counted on for 1941 competition, a United Press survey indicate dtoday. Included amang the men with low draft numbers are Indiana’s Campbell Kane, one of the best middle distance runners developed in years; Bill Diehl, captain-elect of Iowa's football team; Tom Melton, football co-captain at Purdue; George Bensen and Ike Kepford, star backfield men at Northwestern.

Kane already has been called, but was deferred until he completes his school term in June. His running mate, Roy Cochran, holder of the world indoor record for the quarter-mile, expects to go in about the same time. Northwestern may lose five football players and two basketball men before next season. Lindsey Moore, a sophomore end, already has joined his Oklahoma National Guard Unit and Bensen, Kepford, Jim Furlong and Bus Heagy expect a draft call. Don McCarnes, leading scorer on Northwestern's basketball team, and reserve Bob Osborne also have low numbers.

Simmons, Latta, Paul Fight Tonight

By EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor

CHICAGO. Feb. 24—With a field of 44 Gdlden Gloves teams totaling approximately 350 amateur boxers all set and geared for action, the 14th annual Tournament of Champions | i to get going in Chicago Stadium tonight.

After weeks of training and fighting in their own centers, the young leather | throwers poured into the Windy City yesterday and the last of the 43 invading teams arrived this marning to challenge the supremacy of Chicagoland’s all-star squad. The famous Loop was alive with boxers | fr “the Middle West, Northwest, South and Southwest and hotel lobbies were packed with lithe lads from all walks of life who are here to compete in amateur boxing’s greatest shqw. The first four weights—112, 118, 126 and 135-pound classes—battle in three rings tonight. Indianapolis Golden Glovers at these weights are Elmo Lafta, flyweight; A. C. Lee, bantamweight; Earl Paul, featherweigh, anc Robert Simmons, lightweight Suivivers Battie Wednesday

The other four classes take over tomorrow night in three rings and Indianapolis boys in these divisions

are James Sherron, welterweight, 147 pounds; Billie Jones, midd(zweight, 160; Willard Reed, light heavyweight, 175, and: Charles Duncan, heavyweight. The survivors in all eight classes compete in the third round and quarter-finals on Wednesday night. This will cut the huge field to 32 who return March 7 for the semifinals and championship fights.

Drawings for tonight's matches were to be made late this afternoon after the weigh-in and physical examination of all boxers in the first four classes. No boxer is permitted to enter the ring without a thorough medical check-up and boys who are knocked out are compelled to remain in the Stadium hospital until released by physicians. All bouts are scheduled over the three-round route, two minutes to the round, to a decision cf two judges and the referee. ‘Referees are in complete charge and are instructed to stop any bout in which one of the adversaries appears outclassed or is cut about the eyes. FEloodletting in Tourpament of Champions battles is held to a minimum because, after all, the boxers are amateurs fighting for charity and officials are ever watchful tha! no youngster absorbs too mich pounding.

In this game Gene Englund made 17 points in 16 minutes and the rest of the club contributed accordingly. It's a moot question whether Chicago was, more helpless on offense or defense. Wisconsin shot into a 13-2 lead and then held a 38-9 advantage at the half. Even after Coach

Notre Dame Out to ‘Polish Off’ The Blue Bulldogs Tonight In Renewal of Old Wars’

Butler Seeks to Avenge Defeat at South Bend: Shamrocks Boast 11 Straight Victories

The Irish folk of Indianapolis

have reason to celebrate a “little

St. Patrick Day” tonight for the Shamrock Shockers from Notre Dame will play Butler's basketballers in the Fieldhouse at 8:15 o'clock. Ask the men who know and they will tell you that Notre Dame is

the one club Butler would like to ‘polish off.”

According to the Bull-

dogs, the Irish have blarneyed their way through 11 consecutive tri-

umphs including a 45 to 35 victory over Butler 14st Jan. 15 at South Bend. Nevertheless Notre Dame has not lost a contest since last December when Illinois, Wisconsin and Northwestern won close decisions. And the Irish have won 15 during the season. Both teams won games last Saturday night in preparation for tonight.

Both Won Saturday

While Notre Dame was giving Georgia Tech a 53 to 42 setback at’ South Bend last Saturday night, Butler was struggling to win, 34 to 30, here against Wabash. Although it was the 23d consecutive © Indiana College Conference victory for the Bulldogs, they were not any too impressive in winning. They committed 14 passing and dribbling errors in the first half and just managed to knot the score, 16-all, at the half. In the second period Butler sank nine of 25 field goal attempts, miscued only six times and maintained a slim lead throughout the half. Notre Dame's victory over the Engineers marked the reappearance of Capt. Eddie Riska who had been sidelines five weeks with a broken foot. Riska scored 18 points against Butler this year and probably will play one of the forwards tonight. Francis Quinn and Charles Gillespie, two Indianapolis boys, also will see some action for Notre Dame tonight. Both were graduated from Cathedral. Quinn will start at center. Other Irish starters are George Sobek and Charles Butler, forwards, and Cy Singer and Bob Smith, guards. Riska may. replace Butler. For Butler, Hinkle is expected to call upon Harold (Red) Braden and Elwood Norris, forwards; Bill Hamilton, center, and Lyle Neat and Capt. Bob Dietz, guards. Jim McCray and Wilbur Schumacher, veteran forward combination, are likely to be substituted early. Approximately 8000 fans are expected to be on hand hoping for a repeat of last year’s tilt when Butler closed the season with a freakish 39-t0-38 victory on a last-minute pass from Jerry Steiner to Byron
