THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Many Dark Horses Among
Big Sixteen to Battle for
State Net Title.

Sixteen Of 'em are left out of 719
starters in the high school basket
ball survival of the fittest struggle
for the State championship. one of
them will be sitting on top Of the
Hoosier heap next Saturday night
after the final tourney at the. Expo
sition Bldg, State Playground this
weekend.
1t is a rather strange array that
will strut its stuff in the finals. Prob
ably never before were there SO
many dark horses successful in their
efforts to reach the Big Sixteen.
In reality, some of the results may
not have been actual form reversals,
although undoubtedly others were
decided upsets.
1t is always easy to say that the
dope was upset simply because a
team was not known. The smaller
schools which have good teams.
many times have no games SEIZED
uled with the better known clubs.
They hide their light under bushel
largely from necessity-not because
they want to.
According to Dope
Martinsville regional came out &C,
cording to prediction with Martins
Vile and Franklin winning. 1t was
the only tourney not to fool the
wise ones" one way or another.
At Bedford, Vincennes or Wash
ington was favored In one bracket.
Evansville Central was the winner,
Bedford won as expected.
At TT. Wayne, Syracuse was the
surprise team. Central OF FIT. Wayne
came through according to pre-tour-
ney expectations.
Frankfort was an easy victor at
Greencastle. Nobody thought that
club was in danger of losing. but not
many guessed Hillsboro in the other
half of the draw.
Logansport and Marion were the
Kokomo regional winners. Most OF
the dopesters preferred Kokomos
chances over Marion's, but the game
could not be called an upset exactly
unless the decisiveness Of the score
Is considered.
Newcastle Here
Newcastle fooled 'em at Muncie
| Summitville and Shortrldge were
considered a flfty-hfty proposition
All Indianapolis knows that Sum
mitville was on the summit after the
game with the locals.
Rushville had perhaps the most
evenly balanced group OF teams in
any regional meet. Connersville and
| Shelbyville lost out. Rushville
reached unexpected excellence in
downing Shelby, but was in turn de
feated by North Vernon. the team tc
reach the finals. Aurora was the
other winner, beating Connersville
in the decisive contest.
La Porte and Nappanee came out
on top in the South Bend scramble
| Rochester and Plymouth, the favor
ties. were defeated. La Porte beat
Rochester by one point and PlyIn
outh was defeated in an overtime
period by Nappanee.

lA slip down the side line, do
reverse turn and ring up two
points? The former Bulldog will
pay Indianapolis a visit this week
end in a new role. He is coach Of
the Newcastle High School basket
ball team-one of the surprise
clubs in the State finals.
Newcastle put on steam toward
the close of the season and many
believed the Hooker combination
would give Muncie a battle In the
regional. The five did better than
that. 1t beat the team that beat
Muncie. After Greenfield had up
set the dope and downed the Bear
Cats, along came Newcastle to
spill the beans again. Hooker's
outfit piles up plenty of points.
When attendance figures are
compiled for the various regional
Journeys the largest single crowd
doubtless Will be discovered at
South Bend, where the new Notre
Dame gym was used. More than
5000 saw tho night games, it has
been estimated. For total attend
ance Bedford is likely to be at the
top. The big Stone City gym was
packed morning afternoon and
night. It seats moro than 5000.

I1ERY few Of the regional
" Journeys ran true to dope.
- An unusual number Of dark
horse clubs will be seen in action
at the Cow barn" Just how dark
horses will behave in COW shed
IS matter for much speculation.
1t is doubtful If any of them are
good enough to triumph over a
number OF the veteran teams that
are usually on hand at the final
fireworks.
It will be a nice trip for the
boys and the fans will cheer for
then-more spectators than many
Of them ever heard yell for any
thing-let alone themselves. The
crowd always has supported the
smaller and unknown clubs at the
finals Sport fans are for the I'M
der dogs every time.
It Is very unlikely, however.
that there will be many left to
cheer for after the first round.
Sentiment Is a beautiful thing, but
it will not win basketball games
not. many, at least.
We probably have been beaten
to this few thousand times
already, but rookie Pitcher
Chesterfield of the Yankees
should satisfy Manager Higgins.

Operator Durant
Makes Another
Fortune on Wall st.

New York, July 30--(E)-One spec
tacular Wall Street operator. Will
liam c. Durant, has scored his third
big financial triumph and made
third fortune out of the same stock,
and another, Joshua s. Cosden, has
come out of retirement to repeat for
mer victories in the street
Mr.. Durant is credited with having
taken $1,500,000 profit yesterday
when stock of General Motors Cor
poration, which he founded, scared to
a record of 1911. He Is also credited
with having profited s20,00O,000 in
this past year, after his undaunted
faith in it had twice previously
stripped him of his wealth.
Mr. Durant made his first fortune
in founding General Motors but was
removed from it's presidency in 1910.
He made a second fortune in Gen.
eral Motors stock, said to have been
$100,000,000 before the 1920 depres-
sion. in which he met disaster. Many
Wall Street men believe that the
third Durant fortune is as large as
ever before.
Wall Street today described the
General Motors stock as a gold mine
for the e. l. Dupont De Namours
Company, Inc, because it owns L.
330,S29 shares, carried on its books at
$40 share. With General Motors
at $191, the books show a profit of
$161 100000 since January /, when the
book value was listed.

MISS COLLECT WINS
IN THRILLING GOLF
FINISH, EASTERN pr,

Eastern Point, Conn, July 30.-(P
In one of the most thrilling fin
ishes ever displayed in a golf match.
Glenna Collett of Providence, r. T.,
today came from behind and win
ming five of the last six holes over
came a lead of four up and won the
eighth annual woman's invitation
golf tournament of the Shecrossett
Country Club, by defeating Maureen
circuit, of Englewood. N. j., one up.
1t was Miss Collects fifth victory
in the event, but never before has
she been called on for such spec
tacular golf as Miss circuit forced
her to play today. The national
champion shot the 6,512 yard links
in 81, one over woman's par, while
her 19-year-old opponent, who was
medalist in the qualifying round
with 50, today took SO. Having
thrown away several holes during
the first half, Miss Collett found her
game just as Miss circuit began to
weaken, and to the amazement of
the gallery turned apparent defeat
into brilliant victory.
7. 1t was a battle of the putter so
far as the play was concerned, al
though one wag dubbed 1t the battle
of the tees, because the names of
| both players and the club ended
with two IT'S" each. Miss Collett
could not get control of her putter
for II holes and saw hole after hole
slip away after she had reached the
carpet on even or better terms than
her younger opponent.
But, just as the large gallery of
gaily dressed women had conceded
the title to Miss circuit, the national
| title holder settled down and played
unbeatable golf on the last six holes.
Miss circuit won the gold medal
in the qualifying round with an 50
and yesterday won the driving con-
test. She defeated in order Mrs. c.

No New York License
For Big Scrap Till
End n. Y. Guard Camp

New York, July 30-(P0-Jack
Dempsey and Gene Tunney, insisting
that they want to do battle for the
heavyweight boxing championship,
mast await the pleasure, of one who
is training a regiment of men for
any big fight that may come along.
Colonel John l.. Phelan, upon whom
hinges the heavyweight situation at
the present time, as chairman of the
License Committee of the New York
State Athletic Commission, Is too
busy preparing men for war to take
any action in regard to a mere box
ing match.
Tunney, veteran of France him
self, visited the colonel at the en-
campment of the National Guard at
Peekskin, n. Y, yesterday, and made
known his plans to obtain, if possible,
u license to fight Dempsey. The
colonel was affable and discussed
various matters with Gene for an
hour. He also escorted him On a
tour of the camp during which the
boxer shook thousands of hands.
After the conference the colonel
said that no decision regardingsa IL
cense would be forthcoming until he
was "out Of the army" and back at
his desk In New York. That will be
August IL, and until that time the
attitude of boxing followers must be
one of watchful waiting.
Colonel Phelan did promise one
thing-that the Tunney case will be
decided on its merits-just the same
as any other that coems to his at
tention.
Gene Tunney is fine Sboxer and
a credit to the boxing game" he said,
but [ am too busy with military du-
ties to give the necessary considera-
ton to his application just now.
AS to my stand with Chairman
Farley of the Boxing Commission
that Harry Wills should receive the
first chance against Dempsey I can
only say that Jim Farley Is my
friend, but so are George Brewer and
Bill Muldoon. My door is always
open and l have tried to decide things
In fair manner. l see no reason
for sudden change
Brewer and Muldoon are the COM
missioners who last Tuesday voted
to accept the Tex Richard proposal
to stage the fight at the Yankee Sta
dunn, New York, September 18,
Brewer having had a change of
heart 1t was the latter's telegram
of invitation to Richard to renew his
request to the commission that
brought the promoter in haste from
Chicago.

Richards Scores
Another Triumph
In n. Y. Tennis PLAY

New York, July 30.-(P)-Vincent
Richards scored one of his most i'm
pressive triumphs of the year at the
Crescent Athletic Club today to gain
the semi-fnal round of the Metro
politan tennis championship with
William T. Tilden, national title
holder, Takeliichi Harada of Japan
and DR.. George King of New York.
In the most convincing tennis he
has displayed since his return from
European invasion with Howard
Kinsey, the youthful Olympic cham
pion, swept through the defense of
Alfred M. Chaplin, Jr., of Springfield,
Mass, to win decisively at 6-2, 6-2.
Advancing with him to their brack-
cts, Tilden was carried to three sets
by Lucien E. Williams, Of Chicago,
GA, ST, GO. While Harada over
whelmed Hugh M. Kelleher Of New
York, 6-1. Cd, Brian I. c. Norton,
former South Africa star, went down
to unexpected defeat in the other
match of the quarter finals before
King, ITO, 60.

Benny Bass Looks

Crown Kaplan Dotted

New York, July 30-(P)-Benny
Bass of Philadelphia, today stands in
the front line of seekers for the
featherweight boxing crown recently
relinquished by the Meriden boy,
Louis (Kid) Kaplan.
Bass outpointed Johnny Farr of
Cleveland, in a rather listless con-
test at Madison Square Garden last
night, assuring a meeting with Babe
Herman, the man who gave kaplan
some of his hardest battles. This
bout will take place at the Queens
boro Stadium in the near future.
Red Chapman. of Boston originally
was matched with Herman but when
the latter reported sick early this
week on the day the bout was sched-
uled, his manager demanded the for
felt money and also the title. The
State Athletic Commission was I'M
able to see the justice of the argu-
ment and eliminated Chapman from
the list of contestants.
