Coach Roy Douglas McLecd’s De- mons and Coach Leonard C. Mc- Mahan's Braves are two of the finest machines that have worked the sphere toward the goal in the stete this year.

Stephens has been out of the game for two weeks nursing a knee injury. ‘The Demons are in good shape.

He will have as reserves Ted Meinhover, center, Gordie Landers, forward, and Earl Hoffman, guard, in all probability. McMahan will start Bill Russel] or Lloyd McDonald and Dan Hudler at forwards, Don Arthur at center, Jack Stephens and Captain Phil Helblin at the sentinel posts. He will have to reserves Lillibridge. and Collins. Blackhawks in Win Over New! York Six New York, March 15.—(AP)—The Chicago Blackhawks finished the Season last night in last place, but they ended things by holding the New Rangers. champions of the hockey world, to a 1-1 tie. The tie ‘was enough to assure the Rangers of going into the playoffs in second place. Toronto defeated the New York Americans, 5 to 0. Boston’s Bruins, leaders of the American group, settled the argu- ment between the Rangers and the Detroit Cougars for second place in the division by tacking a 5 to 1 defeat onto the end of Detroit’s season. The two Montreal rivals, the Cana- and Maroons, wound up their intra-city rivalry with just a game. i Flying victory, their fourth over the Ma- Toons this year. ‘ Prenchmen turned in a 1/8ress ee ¢ I TEN "Y/ SCORERS j CENTER PURDUE Because he was taller than his playmates, way about the floor in his early high school days.

MURPHY CONVERTS LAUGHS TO CHEERS AS HE COUNTS BASKETS His Height Brought Laughter When He Was in High School; Today It Brings Re- spect When He Is in College; ‘He Is Greatest Shot in Game Marion, Ind., March 15.—(/?)—They laughed at “Stretch” Murphy the first time hé stepped upon a basketball court. But this year he scored 143 Points in Big Ten competition, nine more than ever made before by @ single player. Murphy doesn’t owe his success to @ home study course, but to the very thing which brought laughter in Marion a few years ago—his height. Ralph Gilbert, high school coach, saw that “Stretch” could easily out- jump his classmates, and decided to develop him. He put Murphy in the pivot position on the second team, and. kept him there for two years. “Stretch” outgrew his awkwardness an‘ learned to play fast basketball. Gene Thomas, former Indiana uni- versity star, took over the Marion coaching job, and continued the work which Gilbert had started. Murphy became a dead shot, and experience made him tireless. In 1926, he reached the peak of his high school career by playing center on the team which won the state championship. Purdue university got him. As a freshman he was six feet, six inches tall, but weighed only 158 pounds. He played on the freshman five in 1927. Good coacHing and natural growth have increased his weight to 180 pounds. For two seasons he has been tossing the ball through the basket with sur- prising regularity.

Segrave, who earlier this week set a new world automobile speed record of 231 miles an hour, to- day set out for added laurels. He ex- pected to leave today for Miami where he will compete with Gar Wood for the title of “world motor boat king,” in speed contests to be conducted in Biscayne Bay. Prior to his departure Major Se- grave announced his permanent re- tirement from the automobile racing field. He plans in the future to de- vote his energies to the cement busi- ness with motor boating as his fa- vored hobby. Waner Brothers Continue Demand Paso Robles, Cal., March 15—(%)— Take both or neither of us, The Waner brothers—and the base- ball public—await the outcome. of that ultimatum, served by the former on the Pittsburgh baseball club. Paul and Lloyd, for two years out- field stars with the Pirates and one of the best brother acts ‘1 the his- tory of the game, demand $10,000 more in salary than Pittsburgh has offered them. And there the matter stands. Ne- Gotiations were broken off several weeks ago.. Meanwhile the Bucs are going through their spring training program, devoting special attention to the development of replacements for the missing outfielders. InBowling Tourney, Baseball writers with the squad un- derstand that the club offered Paul an increase of from $12,000 to $15,000 and Lloyd a raise of from $10,000 to $12,000, a total combined salary of $27,000. But, it seems, the hard-rid- ing Oklahoma youngsters demand $35,000 or nothing: Old baseball men, knowing Barney Dreyfus, Pittsburgh president, as one club owner who never yielded to a balky player, say the Waners are through at Pittsburgh. They predict that Dreyfus will not yield to the days of Hans Wagner. Paul, the slugger, pounded the ball for an average of 370 in 1928, gather- ing in six homers, 19 triples and doubles.

It was some wild throwing by Babe Ruth and Sam Byrd that forced the Yankees to ac- cept a 6 to 4 lacing from the Boston Braves in ten innings here yesterday. REESE HITS HOMER San Antonio, Tex., March 15.—(7)— Andy Reese poled out a 400-yard drive over the center field wall as the New York Giants downed San tonio yesterday 1 to 5. The ball sailed over the part of the fence on which is painted a sign reading “For every home run hit over this part of the fence we will give a permanent wave.” SHOTTON WELL PLEASED Winter Haven, Fla., March 15.—() —Manager Shotton is well pleased with the condition of the Philadel- phia Nationals, despite the loss of their first exhibition contest against a major league opponent—the Phil- adelphia Athletics.

FARRELL St. Petersburg, Fla., March 15—Two things are almost obvious to the trav- eling correspondent who saunters into the quaint training camp of the Bos- ton Braves, The first is that the Braves are not going to win the pennant and the second is that Judge Emil Fuchs, president of the club, is going to manage his own men on the field. However, there is no connection be- tween the two observations. | The judge can manage his cwn club if he wants to. Uncle Wilbert Robin- son is the president-manager of the Brooklyn club, and he hasn't done such @ worse job with his men, but the point about the reference to the Boston judge is that nobody believed him when he announced after the de- parture of Hornsby that he would succeed him. “No-one else but,” the judge replied, when I asked him if he really meant to manage the club. “And why not? And we confessed we had no nots to present. . oR Wanted Polo*Grounds ‘When the late Tex Rickard was ne- gotiating for the purchase of the New York Giants we asked if he wanted t get into baseball or just wanted the Polo Grounds. “I want the stadium most, but if I have to buy the ball club with it I'll buy it. I don’t know nothing about baseball, but you can always hire smart fellers to run things for you,” he replied. I mentioned this to the judge and it didn’t find a humorous spot. “I'm going to be on the bench every day,” he said. “I have some fine assistants, particularly Johnny Evers, but I know something about baseball. I played it and I always Leas been @ fan, and if I didn’t want make a of eT wouldn't be in it.” - Assignment of Jimmy Foxx to First Base Necessitates Infield Change Fort Myers, Fla., March 15—(P)— Connie Mack, active and cheerful in spite of nearly half a century in baseball, will attempt to win an American pennant for Philadelphia DA aga ad the earein are who fall @ narrow mal . _ Manager Mack xe Chicago-Michigan game of 1905 : will rearrange his|is a game which Fielding H.\ Yost <<] men to some extent |says he never will forget.
