in fundamentals.

Local Boxer and Chicago
MauIer to Headline Next
Mondays Card.

Harold Smith of Chicago and Merle
Alte of this city will be the principals
in the ten-round main event of the
boxing show to be presented next
Monday night, March Is, at Tomlin'
son Hall by the National a. c., it
was announced today.
Jimmy Goodrich of Buffalo, ex-
lightweight champ. was to have been
one of the pugs in the headline bout,
but when word was received Sun
day that Goodrich had sustained an
injury, the local promoters appealed
to Jim Mullen, Chicago promoter,
who had Smith under contract for a
bout at East Chicago this week, TO
release the stockyards fash to them.
Mullen acquiesced, and Alte then
camped on the trail of the National
club officials for a shot at Harold.
A few weeks ago Alte and Smith
were carded for a scrap at East Chi
cago, but when the local blond bat
tier showed up overweight the tilt
was called off. The East Chicago
bout was originally carded for a Fri
day night and was postponed at the
last minute until the following Mon
day.
Ate weighed in under the
limit on Friday and, not anticipating
another weigh-in. took on a few
pounds over the weekend. which
cost him the bout and his forfeit.
Merle has been smarting under the
injustice of what he calls a raw
deal" since that time. and when he
heard Smith was to show here, he
handed the National club 5000 of his
hard earned dough to guarantee that
he would make 123 pounds next Mon
day at p. m.
Smith, who Is considered one OF the
best Of his class, is a great favorite
in New York and Chicago, where he
has fought such topnotchers as
"Bushy" Graham, Bud Taylor and
others. He won over Taylor at Au-
rora a year ago.
A redhot supporting card is being
assembled, the promoters assert.

VIE is not new to Chicago golf fans
She has been playing over loca
courses for three summer and heI
friends predicted great things fol-
her.
But when the news reached here
that she had defeated Glenna Col
lett, one OF the worlds best woman
golfers, surprise was expressed In
nearly every golf1ng quarter.
Barely II
Barely IT, her birthday was Feb
0, Virginia, on the local courses had
shown wonderful golflng form and
held three titles when she left for
Florida.
At that time It seemed to be a
general opinion that within two or
three years she would rank with the
best-but not now. She had a rare
woman's drive, but her best work
was done on approaches.
Last summer Miss Van VIE won
her first big match when she de-
feated Elsie Hiding. Michigan's
best, TO win the western Michigan
tournament. Then she took the
Junior western on her home club
course-Beverley Elsie Hiding fell
before her again in the Spring Lake,
Michigan, tournament and Virginia
took that meet.
She qualified in the women's ma
tional at st. Louis last year, but
Miriam Burns Horn disposed OF her.
Then Mrs. David Goetz beat her in
the st. Paul open.
Great Match
Virginia's golflng activities ceased
until the Florida season opened.
Then last Saturday she went out
and in one Of the greatest women's
matches ever played in this country
defeated Glenna Collett, one UP on
the nineteenth hole.
Glenna herself paid the young lady
the greatest compliment possible
when she said, II played the best
golf that 1 have played since my
match with Joyce Wethered in Eng
land last summer"

Shortridge and SummitvlIIe,
Two Upset Clubs, to Meet
in MunCie Regional.

Sixty-four basketball teams today
took up the task of preparing for the
next step toward the State high
school championship, the regional
Journeys at eight centers.
After a hectic weekend, the pre-
diction of dopesters that the sectional
play would be marked by many up
sets was fulfilled.
On the list of sixty-four winners
are many of the well-known clubs OF
the State, but there are also many
unfamiliar names-teams that may
prove dark horses in the race for
the championship.
Anderson Out
Anderson. always one Of the fav-
orites in the big show at Indianapo-
lis, will be missing again this season
the second time in two consecutive
years. Neither of the Gary teams
will be on hand for the final fire
works.
In the place of Anderson, Sum-
mitville, runnerup in the Tri-State
meet, will try its hand against an
other upset squad at Muncie region
al for the right to come to Indian
apolis.
Shortridge, believed by many be-
fore the sectional to be the weakest
of the indianapolis schools, with the
exception OF Broad Ripple, complete
ly overturned the dope and defeated
both Manual and Technical. Short
ridge meets Summitville In the
Muncie regional.
The regionals very probably will
see the elimination Of other favor
ties. Some Of the good ones are
sure to be dropped.
KOkOmO vs.. Marion
Kokomo must meet Marion and
one or the other of these two strong
squads will fall in The Kokomo
regional. The same situation err
lists in the Bedford regional, where
Vincennes and Washington will
clash.
OF one thing the fans may rest
assured and that is that the region
ais will furnish plenty Of fireworks
for one weekend at least.
