CHICAGO, March 9.-Michigan's
strength in the two-mile run, the
high jump and the mile relay, three
of the five events described today,
are expected to make the Wolve-
rines an even favorite with Indiana
for Big Ten indoor track and field
honOrS. The meet will be decided
Friday and Saturday night at the
University of Chicago fieldhouse
here.
The conference record of 9:184 in
the two-mile is not in danger this
year, if early results of the con-
testants prove anything. Cliff Wat
son of Indiana was second last year
to Henry Brocksmith of I. u, who
set the new record. Hill of Mich
igan is dangerous and Wright Of
Wisconsin is a potential threat.
Michigans mile relay team set a
mark of 1921 last year This years
quartet of De Baker, Ellerby, Turner
and Allen has bettered that mark
already this year. Illinois and Ohio
State are the chief threats in this
event.
Illinois comes to the fore in the

It's a good idea, but when you
consider that the tourney price was

Mr. IhSaa to slash his prices now
You can't see better show any

When Newcastle and Muncie take The

regional classic, both teams will have two
members of state championship clubs in
uniform. Each will have an aH-state per-

I wouldn't care if they made the

was the average golfer. Everything

Half the game of golf is played
on the greens. If you can simplify
putting for the average golfer, it
stands to reason that he will be
more interested in the game. If you
can make it easier for him to get

That adds to his vanity. And can
you name me any other sport where

Times Snorfs Editor

Three more Indian diamond
performers entered the fold
today when signed contracts
were received from outfelders
Pid Purdy and Jim Crawford
and Fred Bedore, utility in
fielder. The list Of athletes
under contract is growing
gradually and Manager Kille-
fer expects to have a sizable
squad under his wing when
training gets under way.
Batterymen and perhaps a few
rookie infielders and fly chasers will
report at the Hoosier spa, French
Lick Springs, Sunday and the regu-
lar outf1elders and infielders will
check in later.
Travel "On the Cuff
The players won't have to reach
camp on their own power or pock-
etbook, Killefer said. A few days
ago it looked as though some of the
FASTENERS would be compelled to
hitch hike owing to the bank hol-
iday, but Owner Norman Perry of
the Indians got busy with the rail
roads and arranged for transporta-
ton "on the cuff"
Under this plan the players, show
ing proper credentials, will be given
through passage from their homes
to Indianapolis or French Lick and
the ball club will be billed later by
the railroads.
The American Association also has
obtained a special transportation
rate for all clubs during the regular
season around the league and this
will be a big help in the problem of
holding down expenses.
A. A. Hotels Named
Another important item that will
be curtaiIed this year in the A. A.
is hotel expenses. T. j. Hickey

ment for special rates with one no.

TRIAL
RESUMED

FREDERICK, Md, May 20.
The trial of State Senator Emory
L. Coblentz, head of the defunct
Central Trust Company, on
charges of violating the State
banking laws, was resumed in
circuit court here today.
Coblentz is charged with hay
ing accepted deposits in the bank
when he knew the institution to
be insolvent.
The trial was begun last No
vember and was recessed pending
the outcome of similar trial in
Allegany county in which Cob
lentz was found guilty. This ver-
dict was reversed by the court
of appeals on the grounds that
the indictment was faulty because
an attorney, said to have been
interested in the civil action,
was present in the grand jury
room during the balloting.
State banking commissioners
and examiners are among the 16
witnesses summoned by the State.
In November John F. GLAND teSti-
fled he had deposited $125 in the
bank September 2, 1881, the day
before the bank failed.

R. F. {. LOANS
TAKE DROP

Applications for loans from
banks, trust companies and other
financial institutions in April were
the lowest since the first month
of the establishment of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation
in February, 1882, it was revealed
today.
April applications numbered 420,
less than half the number for
March and comparing with the
high of 1927 in April, 1882. Ap-
plications for loans by banks and
trust companies numbered 234 in
April, compared to 702 in March.
Indications pointed to a sub
stantial improvement in the gen.
eral banking situation. The cor
poration has been cooperating
with the Treasury in the cam
paign to open up the banks which
could not at" first qualify to re-
sumo business after the banking
holiday by making preferred stock

banks.
