Braddock M0bbed By Fans;
F0rr EmWttered 1T Result
By SID MERCER

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The
scene in Jim Braddock's dress
ing room after he seized the
heavyweight title from Max
Baer was reenacted last night
at Madison Square Garden,
when a thousand of the Cinder-
ella mans admirers tried to
crowd into a room with a ca
pacity Of less than 100.
One of the first to run the
blockade in front Of the door
was Joe Di Maggie, Yankee slug
ger, who picked the wrong cor
ner at the ringside and had to
sit behind Farr.
EMBRACES BRADDOCK
Di Maggie rushed across the
room, embraced his pal Jimmy,
and exclaimed:
IT knew you could do it, Jim.
You would have stopped him in
another round or two"
Braddock, always the silent
man, accepted congratulations
with his Wry smile. His left
side was covered with red
blotches, as a result of Farr's
body slashing but his head was
unmarked except for a nick Oil
his left ear.
"Farr didn't do that" he said.
''I got that scratch boxing at
Pompton Lakes. He was busy
guy, all right, but he never had
me in trouble. He took some

RiaLtO Club Matches
ShOW Deficit

Washington's ring war ended
abruptly today when it was an
nounced that the Rialto Boxing
Club would not continue staging
shows.
With it's last two shows going
into a hole and the promoters
reporting a deficit Of nearly $4,000,
the group which attempted to lure
District boxing fans from the
Turner -Thearn fold have decided
to call it quits.
The clubs last show, the match
between Tony Falco and Andre
JeSSerun was a dismal failure WITH
only $50 paid admissions.

MYER CONTRACT
SIGNED AS Grief
CORRALS TEAM
By FRANK BUCK" O'NE1LL

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NE1LA
Just so far as the infield of the
Washington Baseball Club is con-
cerned, all worries ceased this
morning when the signed contract
of Charles Buddy" Myer arrived
in the mail. The Griffs now can
start the season with the club that
ended the 1887 nightmare. This
is true regardless Of whether or
not Joe Kuhel comes to terms, and
whether or not the first baseman
is traded to some other club.
Buddy Lewis signed his contract
last autumn before returning
home. That fixed third base.
Cecil Travis was in town a week
or so ago and came to terms after
something of a battle. So short
stop was all right. Now comes
Buddy Myer, and Jimmy WaSdell
is cooked and primed for supreme
effort to break into the lineup as
a regular this season.
NO LITTLE HEAD SHAKING
Wasdell caused more or less head
shaking last year when he failed
to bash the ball all over the lot.
But there were times, as witness
that day in Yankee Stadium, when
he cracked the-ball plenty hard
and plenty far!~Wasdell brought
no little grief to the pitchers by his
quaint and comical antics at first
base in a defensive sense. The

Braddock because Of those savage

three for Braddock and two even.

was the only official who actually
tabled the rounds with Braddock
out in front, his score being 6
and 4. That's how close it was!
PLENTY OF COURAGE
Braddock took a sound body
drumming from Farr's right hand.
When Jim's hand was raised at
the finish, the entire left side of
the exchampion's body was a pur-
pie bruise. Every time that Farr'S
right glove landed on Jim's ribs,
a bruise marked the landing place
Of his glove.
The courage and unbending de.
termination of the Cinderella
man" was something which seemed
to grip ones heart in a wise. To
add to the utter amazement Of
this splendid fellows great charge
down through the last two rounds,
let it be said that he fought every
second Of the time balanced on
his toes!
Old timers fairly gasped as they
saw age curry coming youth. Farr
seemed the most astounded man
in the building when Jim timed his
rush to make the charge OF the
light brigade look like a kiddie
kar parade.
1t was magnificent! I think
every man and woman in the
house that Tex built was on foot,
yelling like Comanches.
"Braddock! Braddock!" they
beloved until the ear-Splitting
roar sounded like all the pounding
lsurfs of the universe rolled into
one.
FARR IGNORED JIM
Farr was not gallant in defeat.
I guess his heart was close to
breaking. When the announcer
bawled:

wrapped in his tan great robe.
turned his back on Braddock, fold
ed his arms and dropped his head
on them and wept. Only the scar
let Welsh dragon emblazoned on
the back of the robe spouted de-
fiance. Braddock, in the ecstacy
of his conquest. ambled over to
Farr's corner to offer his hand.
They didn't shake. Farr slid
through the ropes and rushed to
his dressing room, where he was
bitter in his denunciation Of the
verdict. He did say, however, that
he did not Intentionally snub Brad

The Prodigal Parents by Sinclair
Lewis.
If you are a father or a mother
with young or grown-up children; If
you are a young man or young
woman looking into the bewildering
world beyond the shelter of parents
or college; If you are curious about
human problems today-Sinclair
Lewis new novel will absorb you
and entertain you. With his genius
for dramatizing thoughts that are
on the threshold of every mind, he
writes with affectionate sympathy
Of the problems = Of the successful
man of fifty-five, his son and
daughter, his wife, his business.
Fredk. VIM. Cornplow, shrewd
middle-class realist, gradually walk
es to find that Sarah, his selfish
daughter, and his son, Howard, still
irregularly playing football for old
Truxton, think Of him as intellect
ually obseete, as a convenience, as a
walking bank account, to whom
they need return neither affection
nor thoughtfulness. He finds that
wife Hazel, loves him as he loves
her but that she is their ally. He
discovers, through the presence in
his children's lives of young Com
munist and through the intrusion
into his own life of a family of
shiftless relatives and of a young
girl far too good to love his son,
that he has to look for the first
time clearly into his own heart and
mind. He has to make a decision

Tale of Bali, by Vicld Baum.
This long, absorbing and exotic
novel, with almost no white charac-
tiers and an atmosphere comparable
only to that of THE Good Earth"
is completely different from any
thing Vicki Baum has written be-
fore. Present here, but on more
heroic scale, are all the qualities
that so distinguished Grand Ho-
tell" her powers Of description and
Characterization, of writing Of
many people and across the sweep
of a great canvas, yet never losing
the sharp focus of her story. Her
subject Is what the title states, SIM
ply tale Of Bali; of the peasants
and the land, and the overthrow
by the Dutch at the beginning of
this century, of the great hereditary
rajahs who had ruled the island
from the time immemorial. Within
the compass of this idea, as with
in the walls of the Grand Hotel
her characters go their ways, all
with lives Independent in them
selves, but inextricably linked by
circumstance. That those charact-
ers are Balinese adds to the singu-
lar enchantment of the book, for
her study is not superficial; it cuts
deep, and derives from her res.
idence on the island and her study
of the people. tale of Bali is
without doubt Vicki Baum's most
deeply felt and powerful novel, and
it has every likelihood of becoming
her most popular. Some Of Its
scenes, such as the great burning al
Tabanan, and the final charge od
the Balinese against the Dutch
troops, are of genuinely epic quail
ity; the book as a whole has the
stature of a true work of art.

SPORTS

SPORTS
Now don't fret, this Is not the
first year that Sank Centre has had
such a bad basketball season. Why,
back in 1885 or 1887 the high school
teams lost something like 13
straight, If I'm not mistaken. And
the team may yet upset the mon
win" apple cart and win a game,
for all you or I know.
Every game from the Brandon
game on will be a return tilt with
each team that is left to play. In
spite Of the fact that our team has
lost so many games still have a
hunch that they will go long way
in the district tournament at Alex
andria In March.
Last week Albany beat Paynes-
vile who gave Melrose the only
two defeats of this season. Alexan-
dria was defeated by Staples last
week, also. st. Cloud Tech beat Lit
tie Falls twice and Altx beat the
Falls cagers once this season. The
fact that we win play Brandon on
their floor will be to our disadvan-
tage next Tuesday; but the fact
that an altogether different-minded
team will play for Sank Centre will
be to their disadvantage.
In the st. Johns prep-Sauk Cen
ire game our players committed u
fouls while the other team commit
ted only 8. We outscored them In
field goals ID to II. In the overtime
period two free shots won the
game. Which just goes to show you
that free shots and fouls play q
very important role I'm any basket
ball game.
Did you know that there are 80
districts in Minnesota and 8 re-
gions. We are in district % and re-
gion 6 there are 20 teams in
our district. Two sub-districts are
held, eight teams playing in each
sub four teams go directly to
the district tournament: Alexan-
dria, Sank Centre, Glenwood and
Long Prairie.
The two sub districts this year
will be held at Brandon and Swan
vile the district at Alexan-
dria the regional at Morris :.
and the state at Minneapolis. This
makes eight teams competing In
the district tournament -four dis
trict winners will go to each region
al eight teams go to the state
tournament. Usually If a team goes
first to the sub district it will play
5 games before wilmington three
games IL 1t is one Of the remaining
four-the district tournament
two more games to win the regional
:. 8 more to win the state, this
making 10 games played with a diff.
ferent opponent before becoming

team.
