Ada Guns Sink Pirate Ship, 65-57
After Overcoming Early Lead

The Ada Bulldogs put together
three big quarters and then coasted
to 65-57 victory over the Bluffton
Pirates on their home floor last Fri
day night.
Off to a slow start the Bulldogs
passed the Pirates with a spurt of
ten consecutive points midway in the
first period. From then on the Pirates
were never ahead. They missed their
last chance at the start of the second
quarter when two consecutive men
missed the first end of one and one
foul shots. Given this second wind
the Bulldogs pulled away and widen
ed their one point margin to a fat
1913 halftime bulge.
Don Alspach, top Bluffton re-
bounder sat out the last few minutes
OF the first half with three personal
fouls, and Ada seized their equality
on the boards to put the game for
all intents and purposes out of the
Pirate reach.
Jim Napier, recent transfer into the
Ada school from Kentucky, handled
most of the rebounding work for the
shorter Bulldogs, who controlled the
boards whenever the 6-3 Alspach
went to the bench.
Ada had the Pirates well secuted
and were able to handle the Pirate
offensive at all times. Mary Diller
who had been averaging over 16
points a game until last week was
bottled up thoroughly, not hitting his
second field goal until early in the
fourth quarter.
Dan Gleason, who moved out to the
back court at the start of the second
half, threw in two long one-handers
and pair of drive-ins in the third
quarter on his way to game-high
for the Pirates. Following Gleason's
Is were Ron Geiser and Don Alspacb
with II each.
Four men handled the offensive
chores for the Bulldogs, scoring all
their points until the final minute.
when Wyss and Bosch got in their
two points worth. Bob Runser, Napier
and big Roger Cooley, who stayed
long one-handers, all totaled 16 points
while AL Hetrick, who led the first
half offensive, had 13 for the evening.
Only three personal fouls were
called on the Bulldogs the entire
second half, two of these in the last
minute, as they were able to move
all evening with complete freedom
from foul trouble. Bluffton, ,on the

other hand, was hampered when
Alspach and Joe Urich, who both got
into first half foul trouble had to play
cautiously in the third quarter.
The Pirates reserves gave promise
of better things to come as they led
all the way for 4641 preliminary
victory. Led by Ralph Reichenbach,
playing reserve ball for the first time
this year, and freshman guard
George Burkholder they scorched the
nets for 1927 halftime lead and
then survived slow second half to
score their second consecutive win.

Beaverdam Falls
Before Elida, 55-74

A strong Elida Bulldog team,
bouncing back from last weeks first
loss of the season, took Beaverdam
into camp 1855 last Friday night.
Although no one from Elida
matched Beaver John Van Meters 26
points the Bulldogs had three play

Football Champion
Pirates Prove Real
Gate Attraction

Bluffton high school took in almost
$500 during their successful football
season this fall, according to report
filed by faculty manger Robert
Ewing.
Ewing reported that $31O0 had been
spent during the past season, with
more than $4,000 of that amount
going toward new equipment. In
cluded in this cost was $4OO towards
the new scoreboard erected at the
beginning of the season.
The total cost of the new board
was $1O13 but the remaining S613 win
be shared with Bluffton college. The
college has promised to contribute
$500 while the Longines Watch Com
pany has guaranteed a $100 rebate
because their advertising appeared on
the clock face.
Each year the high school adds 6
new pairs of shoulder pads, hip pads
and game pants at an approximate
cost of $500, Ewing stated. These are
used to replace equipment which has
been worn out or damaged n games.
Bluffton's clash with Elida which
gave the Pirates their first Northwest
Conference championship proved most
popular with the local fans as they
poured sS42s into, the till while the
game with Delphos Jefferson, the
other power in the league added SCAT
more.

CAN MOVE FEET AND TOES
Babe Defies Paralysis
In Successful Surgery

GALVESTON, Tex, July IA
(P).-Knowing that the opera
ton might cause paralysis and
that she might never walk again,
Babe zaharias chose surgery in
order to get relief from cancer
pains.
Today the indomitable Babe,
greatest woman athlete of her
time. said she thought she had
made it-she could wiggle her
feet and toes.
"She isn't going to be para
lyzed." declared her husband,
George zaharias, happily.
1t was another trying time in
the Babes fight against cancer
a disease that struck her in 1858
1t seemingly had been beaten
later when she returned to win
ming golf, and then cropped up
again last year.
Five-HOur Operation
1t required five hours yester-
day for the operation. 1t was
a cordotomy to surgically divide
the nerve track that caused the
sensation of pain in her legs
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-07-14

The Babe, her physicians and
her husband, all feared she might
suffer partial paralysis because
spinal sensory nerves that lead
into the legs we're to be cut. But
the pain had been increasing
each day and had reached the
point of being almost unbearable.
So the Babe just said, We'll,
here we go again." and was
wheeled into the operating room.
Her last words cautioned George
to check the mail for cancer
funds.
The Babe Zaharias Cancer
Fund has grown into thousands
Iof dollars. There is a sack of
mail each day with contribu-
lions.
Mrs. Zaharias regained con-
sciousness early last night and
could talk with her husband
Hospital authorities said she was
resting well early today and that
there were no indications of COM
plications.
ZahariaS, the ex-wrestler who
helped the Babe build fortune
in sports, paced the floor outside
the operating room the entire
five hours. "All want is for the
people to pray for her to get
strong" he said.
Confined to Bed
A spokesman for John Sealy
Hospital said the operation may
cause some difficulty in the
Babes ability to walk, but 1T
does not necessarily mean she
will be paralyzed. If you have no
lsensory nerves in your hand, you
have some problem there. But
not all the SenSory nerves were
divided in the operation. Mrs
Zaharias has not been able to
walk for some time. Since he1
last birthday she has been con-
fined to her bed"
1t was June 26 that the Babe
observed her 42d birthday.
She is down to 12l pounds now
and that's 40 pounds under he1
weight when she was the great
est woman golfer in the world
But the Babe says she's going to
be all right.

Nashua Odds-On
Against 8 Rivals
At Monmouth

OCEANPORT, N. j., July IA
R.-Nashua was a prohibitive
overnight favorite at about 2
to S to beat eight rivals today
in the $100,000-added Monmouth
Park Handicap.
A top drawing card wherever
he races, the unpredictable mill
lionaire was making his first
appearance at this seaside race
track.
The 4-year-old bay son of Mas
rullah, winner of 20 of his q
starts and $1,158,765 in three
seasons of campaigning, con-
coded plenty of weight in the
mile and one-quarter event. He
carried 1919 pounds, one more
than when he captured the Sub
urban Handicap July 4, and
gave away from 10 to "a pounds
to his rivals here.
(The race was to be televised
in Washington over WRC-TV,
Channel 4, and broadcast over
WRC radio beginning at
p.m0
When Kentucky Derby winner
Needles, Find, Summer Tan, Jet
Action, Fisherman and others
declined to meet the Leslie B.
Combs syndicate colt, it left a
4-year-old f1lly second high
weight at Ill pounds. She is
Manotick, C. T. Chenery's stakes
winner who likes the longer
routes, and was second in the
recent Delaware Handicap.
Second choice of an expected
crowd of some 10000, however,
was expected to be Mr.. and Mrs.
R. C. Markus' Mielleux with
LOT pounds. Mielleux won the
Appleton Handicap and finished
second to Sailor in the Gulf
stream Handicap last March
when Nashua finished a sur
iprising fifth. Then in the Cam
den Handicap May 10, when
Nashua surpassed Citation as
the worlds top money winner,
Mielleux was third.
Mielleux, to be ridden by Logan
Batcheller, was 4-to-1 and Man.
otick. with Sammy Boulmetis,
was Stool in the early odds.
Eddie Arcaro was to ride Nashua,
as usual.
Rounding out the field were

Swaps Meeting
Six Threats in
Gold Cup Cop

INGLEWOOD. Calf, July ID
(R.-The heavily backed Swaps
faced a threatening field of six
rivals-and something of a jinx
today in the $100,000-added
Hollywood Gold Cup Handicap.
This was the 18th running of
the Gold Cup and only three
times before had the high weight
in the field won the guaranteed
100000.
The successful three were Sea-
biscuit, with 1873 pounds aboard,
in 1888; Challedon, 1873. in 1910,
and Moor, 1870, in 1850.
Swaps was to carry 100 pounds
to the post, spotting the opposi-
ton from z to "a pounds. OPP
posing Swaps are Beau Busher,
Porterhouse, Mister Gus, Honeys
Alibi, Bobby Brocato and Blue
Volt.
The great Citation won the
Hollywood Park attraction in
1851, and the 100000 made
him the first millionaire in the
history of the sport. But Calu-
NETS famous horse was not the
high weight that day. He carried
only 100 pounds.
Today'S mile-and- one-quarter
event was the first at this route
this year for Swaps. He won
the Kentucky Derby last year at
this distance in 2:01%, and the
Westerner. Hollywood's version
of the Derby, in 2:003s.
The last time Swaps went a
mile and a quarter was in last
years match race with Nashua
at Chicago. Swaps reinjured his
right foot that afternoon during
the race and Nashua won by
612 lengths. The time was
2:04H.
The world record for a mile
and one-quarter is 1895, which
Moor set in 1850 at Golden Gate
Field at San Francisco.
Swaps admirers hoped for an
other world record for the Cali
fornia colt today. although his
owner. Rex C. Ellsworth, en-
phasized that all he wanted was
the win and a still sound race
horse.
Already this year Swaps has
set new world marks for mile,
l mile and 70 yards and a mile
and one-sixteenth, and equaled
the record for mile and one
eighth,
