C To St. Daul, 1-0,

By Eddie Ash

THE scheduled fifth annual all-star basketball game between June high school graduates of Indiana and Kentucky was cancelled last night by Lloyd Carter, professional wrestling and boxing promotor who had agreed to

sponsor the 1943 amateur event. The Indiana-Kentucky all-star games held in 1338, 1840, 1841 and 1942 were sponsored and staged by the Indianapolis Star. . . . It is understood the event is off for the duration. In canceling arrangements for the 1943 game. that had been scheduled to be held on an outdeor court at Victory field. Carter said, “With the members of both the Indiana and Kentucky squads scattered in all sections of their respective states, and transportation at a premium in our wartime efforts, we figured that to stage the game it would take approximately 9285 man-miles alone to bring the coaches and players to Indianapolis. “This does not include the mileage of hundreds of basketball fans who would come here from all over Indiana. Last year, when played in the fairgrounds Coliseum, better than 7000 attended with at least half of the number from out in the state.” When the all-star game was sponsored by the Star last year the net profit of $1407 was contributed to the U.S.0.

Local Jockey Builds New Guinea ‘Home’

AMIL CAROSELLI. Indianapolis jockey who is a private 1-c with the armed forces in New Guinea, writes and relates how he has learned to do things other than ride & horse. In a letter dated April 22 he said, in part: “We haven't been doing much the past few days. During this time I've made a grass hut and tables and chairs from trees and vines and I've gone strictly native. It helps kill time when were not chasing the Japs and also gives me a little comfort. It gets pretty tiresome eating on the ground and sharing my food with ants and other bugs.” =

= = = FROM Indianapolis’ Pvt. Louis Epstein, a former boxer, who says he is “still pitching”—“Just a line for old times’ sake. This is Lew Epstein. I am down in Camp Polk, La. I want you to do me a favor. Let my friends know where I am stationed. I have been here seven months and would love to hear from my friends.” Pvt. Epstein’s address is Regtl. Hdg. Co. 55 A. I.

Tigers Say It in Overtime

THE 1943 Detroit Tigers have been rorced by the weather to spend many days in idleness but when they do get out in the big outdoors they make up for it by working overtime. Already this month the Bengals have gone extra innings no less than seven times, and have a recoré of four extra-inning contests in a row. . . . They won an 1il-inning game in Chicago on May 9, and then returned home and played three overtime tilts with the Philadelphia Athletics. These games went 13, 13 and 12 innings, respectively. . . . And vesterday, at Detroit, the Tigers defeated the Boston Red Sox in 13 innings. . . . The overtime habit started May 1, when the Tigers downed Cleveland in 15 innings.

Junior Baseball Confab Monday

Officials of Junior Baseball, Inc., although handicapped by the fact that summer playground instructors will not report until next month, have formed a staff of 19 men to begin the organization of teams at 11 centers Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Bats, balls and catcher’s equipment for all boys who will not reach their 18th birthday prior to June 1 will be purchased out of a rapidlygrowing fund created by the sale of Junior Baseball membership cards to adults willing to contribute their financial aid to the city-wide program. Former baseball players interested in serving as coaches for the schoolboy teams are needed to assure proper supervision, however, and anyone interested is invited to re- | port with the youngsters at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon.

Armory Card

Pierre De Glane, a French-Cana-dian from Montreal, will make his first local wrestling appearance on the weekly mat card next Tuesday night at the armory, De Glane is said to be a rugged and skilled performer and will appear in one of the supporting bouts. A return match between the undefeated Farmer Jones of Arkansas and Coach Billy Thom of Bloomington, Ind, features the card. The bearded Jones defeated Thom in a fast match here several weeks ago, taking two falls and dropping one. Thom asked for the return and requested that there be no time limit. Matchmaker Lloyd Carter had previously announced that there might be a possibility of staging the show outside at Sports arena, but now reports definitely that it will be indoors at the armory.

NEW YORK, May 22.—Activity days has been confined to armchair

in the junior league today—only a few percentage points separating the vwo clubs. However, Cleveland is considered the real challenger to the New York Yankees over the long haul because it has a pitching corps that is three deep in talent. Only other club in the American league that compares numerically with the Tribe's tossers is the St. Louis Browns. But Luke Sewell’s slinging squad lacks quality and hasn't the ability to cope with the accumulation of twin bills that threaten to deluge the clubs with smaller mound staffs.

Salveson Eases Pain

The Indians sufféred a tough blow when Mel Harder was sidelined with a fractured ankle, but Rookie Jack Salveson from Oakland in the Pacific Coast league eased the pain by tossing a four-hit shutout against the Athletics in his first start, Should Salveson's success be emulated by another rookie or two from a crop including Pete Center, Allie Reynolds, Mike Naymick and Paul Calvert, the Indians may find themselves in a neck-and-neck battle with the Yankees down the stretch in the American league, The Boston Réd Sox and Detroit Tigers went at it tooth-and-nail for 13 innings yesterday before the Bengals turned in a 2-1 Tex Hughson of the Sox and Newhouser of the Tigers had & rid mound duel, both tance.

the ropes as Referee Dick Patton

had to enlighten the boys that the round was over. A right hand that carried plenty of dynamite floored the Illinois belter in the second for the nine count, But Hill got up off the floor and kept boring in only to get tagged repeatedly. wt The crowd roared in the fourth when Hill let loose a wild round= house swing and caught Garner off balance.

Johnny Humphries combined brilliant pitching and timely hit ting as the Chicago White Sox blanked the Washington Senators, 1-0, before 8567 spectators in =a night game at Comiskey park. He allowed only three hits as the Sox nicked Dutch Leonard for nine, doubled and scored the deciding run in the fifth on Thurman Tucker's single. It was Humphries’ third triumph of the year and the Chicago victory in the last eight games. The Athletics, held to two hits by Johnny Niggeling, rallied in the ninth to defeat the Browns, 2-1, in a night game at St. Louis. A fluke play provided the A's with the winning run. With Jojo Whit on thd, two out and the scor tied, Niggeling eased a knuckle ball up to Pete Suder. Suder missed, but the ball eluded Rick Ferrell and White whizzed across with the wining run.
