Debs and FernddLes
in Deciding Battle
of Their Net Series
Rituals Meet on ~ Court To-
ntght-Edch Credited
With Victory.

One Of the biggest amateur basket
bah arguments Of the season will close
tonight when the Debonairs meet the
Fernsdales in the final contest OF their
annual three game series at the Y. NJ.
c. A. AS result Of the two previous
games played on the Marion club court
each team is credited with a victory and
in the rubber battle.
Coach SQuires sent his Debonairs
through n stiff drill last night and they
are in the best of condition for the
scrap. The Green and White squad
will start the big scrap with Starbuck
and O'Cain at forward; Ettris, center,
and Anderson and Schaefer, guards.
These youngsters are all rich in basket
ball experience and should offer the
fans a classy bit of entertainment
The Ferndals and their folio wers feel
as though the victory is already put
over. They were walloped by a big
margin In the second game Of the series,
but they claim that the small Marion
club floor did not give them the oppor-
tunity to show all their stuff The "Y''
court is more to their liking and they
are ready to run rings around their old
rivals.
Coach Starbuck has rounded up a
strong track team to compete for the
Debonair club in the junior indoor I. Al.
A. U. track and field championships at
the state fairgrounds coliseum, March
IT. and he is all set to walk off with
top honors. The team is composed of
former local high school athletes, who
are showing all their old class In the
practice events.

Referee Smith Says
Mason Earned Right
to Longer Wilde Go
Little Ho0sier BdttLed Hardest
When Odds We're Against
Him.
WILDE GREAT FIGHTER
BY ED SMITH.
(Referee WIlde-Mason Bout.)


TOLEDO, March 13.-When It is said
that Jimmy Wilde, Britain's last remain
ing ring champion, is the mechanical
genius of the prize ring, the whole story
of last nights battle with frankie Mason,
Americas best, IS told in a few words
Jimmy finished out in front with the
hero from FIT Wayne, after twelve OF
the best rounds that anybody has seen
in a long time. The margin was not
a wide one, for Mason put up a great
battle, and Wilde was put to the limit
Of his great genius TO finish a trihe in
front, Rules Of the Toledo boxing com
mission do not permit of a decision
BY the referee and none was rendered
officially.
Mason was too much on the defensive
In almost every one OF the twelve rounds
but the fifth to get anything but lot
OF credit for a great showing against a
man who Is generally regarded as the
worlds best The fight was one OF the
greatest battles ever seen between mid
gets in any land and proves that longer
fight between them will be necessary be
fore a really decisive result can be
reached. To many OF the spectators It
looked as II Mason might have been I'm
ished to a turn within four or five rounds
more.
Mason had a little shade in the earlier
stages Of the contest. but the powerful
| little steamroller from Wales kept whal-
ing away with such effect in the lat
ter stages that he nullifed all OF this
and in the eleventh round had Mason In
q rather bad way through a few we'll
directed shots TO the short ribs. One Of
these especially had Frank going
backards, and as be sailed along
the ropes from side Of the
ring 10 the other he appeared
to be about TO go down under the at
tack.
IL was place for a game man TO make
a tremendous stand, and Mason was
found not wanting under the strain Of
this situation He turned once or twice
and fought back with vigor that he
seemed not TO possess and then took It
again on the run. Jimmy tried every
little trick that he had in his big book
to put over the finishing touch but Mason
topped around in such a way that Wilde
could do nothing.
From the frst gong II was a great bat
tie, both men in the early stages stand
Ing toe TO toe and soaking away at each
other. But In a short time the Wilde
system Of battling showed itself at its
best. He never gave an inch unless he
was showed away and kept forcing the
affair In such a way that. while he got a
lot OF punches shot into every section
OF his fighting front he had his man
backing so that the blows were OF little
effect

MONEY WORRIES ENDED

PARIS, March 13-Just before has
departure for the United States today
Georges Carpenter, heavyweight cham
pion OF Europe, declared that he Is
willing to make financial sacrifices 70
secure an early contract to fight Jack
Dempsey for the world championship.
Carpenter said that he is willing to
fight Dempsey regardless of the war
Stacker charges against the American
pugilist and that If Dempsey should be
sent to Jail he will ask American fight
promoters TO hold a series of bouts TO
pick Dempsey's successor so that the
worlds championship contest can be
held anyway.
81 hope to settle definitely the arrange
ments for a fight with Dempsey shortly
after my arrival in America" said Car
pentier. Naturally I am interested In
the financial returns, but know that the
public IS likely to become disguised over
long pickering. Consequently shall
make sacrifices to secure an early con-
tract After all there should be some
thing more in boxing than a mere scrarn-
bic for money II sporting men hope to
keep the game clean.
SAYS DEMPSEY
MUST BE DEFEATED.
"Of course I am interested In the
Stacker charges against Dempsey. but
will fight him regardless Of the outcome
unless he should be sent to jail for
perjury. Ny view is that I am not
fighting Dempsey as an individual, but
the possessor of the title, and 1t IS the
titleholder who must be defeated. It
would be the same If some one else held
IL. II Dempsey Is sent to jail 1 shall not
claim the world championship myself I
would consider such action unfair.
shall ask American promoters to arrange
a series Of elimination bouts to pick
Dempsey's successor. Then 1 can meet
the victor OF these bouts in a fair and
square match for the worlds title"

FRANKLIN HAS
EASY TIME

In the games played during the first
two days Of the tourney Franklin has
either drawn easy teams or is so ex-
ceptionally strong that only the best
In the tourney can give Coach Wagner
men an argument. Piling up a top
heavy score on Young America In the
first day Of the tourney, Franklin lived
true to the dope of the fans and was
picked as a sure winner OF the state
championship. Some there were who
said that Franklin would have trouble In
winning from the Normal high school
team Of Terre Haute. Normal had won
the wabash valley championship, defeat
ing the best high schools In western IN
diana and eastern Illinois. in a tourney
held more than a month ago at Clinton,
Ind. Normal won its sectional In an
easy style. If Normal had any hope Of
being state champion It required just
five minutes of play for Franklin to
break up those hopes. Franklin won, 80
