More, than 4,000 fans jammed the West Virginia Held house and watched the Mountaineer's dazzling exhibition of passing and basket shooting which bewildered tho tltle- peeking Panthers. After the first few minutes of play the Pitt contingent was never within 10 points of the rampaging Mountaineers.

Billy Simpson, a pee-wee forward, played A brilliant game for the victors, tossing In 11 points. He was one behind Oocke who led the scoring with 12 counters while Llt- tie Saufnt Phares, the Mountaineers' mighty mite sophomore, tallied 10 and directed tho piny of the winners like a veteran campaigner all during the evening. W. V. Lends 17-2 't'he Mountaineers, defeated only onco on their home floor this year, and then by Duqeusne, one or the nation's best quintets, was primed lor Pitt tonight.

Remembering their game with Pitt in Pittsburgh earlier jn tho Benson, when the Panthers edged them out in tho last seconds for a 35 to 31 victory, the Mountaineers opened up with a rush. They ran the score to 17 to 2 in the first 12 minutes of play and i -went well Into tho second period leading 20 to 6. Two Held goals and a foul brought Pitt up to 10 points by the holftime intermission. Tho Panthers made desperate rally after the recess and drow to within eight points of the vIctorB on one occasion, with the score 24 to 16 in favor of West Virginia. This was as near as the Panthers ever came to the fast stepping West Vlrginiuns who immediately tossed in six baskets in rapid order to swell tho score to 36 to 16.

With live minutes left the tally stood 36 to 21. Pitt, a heavy favorite to take the game and thereby settle the championship chase, was caught flat tooted by the force of the West Virginia attack and never recovered. The conference leadership is now Shared by the two teams with six victories and two losses Tor both, The decisive triumph was doubly sweet tor the Mountaineers since It marks their first win aver Pitt on the hardwood in Beveral seasons. £ddie Should Let Aftor the varsity cagemen took tho Panthers over the hurdles, Mountaineer boxers punched their way to theJr- third Eastern intercollegiate conference title by scoring a clean sweep over Pitt leather pushers as they administered severe 7-0 flogging to the hated Pitt.

To prove this, one has but to take the caae of Vic Sorrell.

this morning reported to be on his way out as a member of the Detroit Tigers, for several years, the former Blue-Gray mound ace was tops on tho Tfgors pitching staff. Two years ago ho was the most effective Tiger moundsman on the club. Last Bpring Vic stnrted out in hard luck. Ife twirled a couple of flawless victories, then pitched a string of three or tour swell ball games and lost them by narrow margins. He then was bumped right severely by the opposition a couple of times and with Rowe, Auker and others of the Detroit mound staff gaining top Vie lost his regular turn on the mound, shortly bo- fore mid-season.

And never regained it. So now the boys say old Victor is hitting the shutes. They say he has outlived his usefulness with the 1934 pennant winners. This coming as It does, just ns the Tigers get up there, and after Vic labored industriously and well through lean years nud for a losing ball team, Is a pretty bitter pill to swallow. Especially as Bey- oral of the top ranking clubB made Detroit offers for Sorrell in recent but the lowly Tigers chose to hang onto Win.

But even if Eddfe Nell is right, and Eddie usually correct in bis prophesies, it does not necessarily mean that Sorrell is through as a big leaguer. No one con tell me Vic hasn't at least a couple of good years on tho main line left In his right soiiphone. If Vie Sorrell Is through on tho big time, there are going to be hundreds, yet thousands of fans In this city and section, who will genuinely regret It. It Is doubtful If Bluefield ever had a more popular: athletic Idol than tho Wake Forrest collegian. Probably more than a little responsible for this was Vio's own genulness of character.

ranking twirler even as a youngster In tho coalfield league, Vic Sorrell was never uffllcted with the common disease of enlarged craniraum (swell head to you) iaud was literally worshipped by the local fans. But even at that, Victor is something up on this game of baseball. Never a lad to his money away, even in his days as a semipro when most young fellows thought only of ways'and menus of. Victor bonvU spending the heavy dough semi-pro ball paid at that time. Vic has nl- ways niado good dough and socked it away, Even while pitching for, Bluefield, Sorrell's salary was $500 per month.

Of that amount, Vic used to keep $100 for his own living expenses and ether expenditures. He would send the remaining part home to his mother. "Why shouldn't My family helped me and anyway mother can save the dough much bettor than could suve it," Vic used to'say. Every since 1B25 Vic has been making important dough in baseball. Last year, I have been told, the Detroit Tigers paid the ex-Bluefleld star $11,000.

Sorrell has been with Detroit for eight years. During that time it isjsafe to wager that Vic has averaged per season, and has Baved a good portion of it. No, the boys will never be playing a benefit game for this fellow. OME of tho state sport writers have been stealing the thunder of the bookies and laying odds on the West Virginia high school basketball tournament which opens tonight at Buckhaunon. One young poller I know, Frank Knight by name, und he writes pieces for the Charleston paper, makes Princeton a 1 to 2 favorite to win the tourney.

This is all right, in so much as Princeton is the state's only undefeated outfit and a team which has licked most of the boys. But Frank's halt-baked Idea that Ceredo-Kouova is tho second ranking team In the stale Is something hard to fathom. Ho places that entry at 2 to 5 to win, In front of ElkinB at 1 to 3. Frank rates Clarksburg W-l alongside of Elkins. Then he places BecWey, Ben wood and Keyaer.

But listen, ladles and gents. Bend an ear, as It were, and I'll tell you who the teams are to beat in this tourney. The next state champ is to be selected from Elkins, Clarksburg and East Bank. The latter team meets Elkins in the first round and It's the toughest ball game of the tourney. If the Tigers get by that crew, they haven't Anything to worry about in their own bracket.

Princeton Is likely as good as any of them, with the possible exception of Elkins. but it's difficult to find a reasoning to prove, they will shako oft the southern West Virginia jinx and get to first base. First round survivors will bo Elkins and Clarksburg for certain, maybe Ceredo-Keuova, and either Princeton or Benwood. Second round survivors will bo Elkins and Clarksburg, with Elkins my choice to win the tourney. The reason I say "maybe C-K" is because I don't know a thing in the world about Kej-Ber.

I know Princeton Is better than either Benwood or Clarksburg W-l. But they will probably be unable to beat either at Buckhanuon, and certainly not both of them. If they forget this mental hazard and perform as they are capable, and they can do it If they will, I'll be the most happy follow south of tho Kanawha river. For years and yeavB now, I have been telling Wade Pepper, Larry Boggs. Leo King, Bill Hart, et al, that our southern teams are just as good' as those in the north And for Just as long, these same newspaper boys from around that section have been giving mo the boss laft when our southern entry folds up like nn accordion.

There have been times when they oven thought I have been a bit-feeble minded in presistlng that the boys In southern AVest Vlrglula played basketball. Dee Patton and his splendid basketball performers have great chance to vindicate southern West Virginian basketball, which Is considered more or less as a joke, by the boys up Btate. What really makes me said is tho knowledge that Princeton has a team good enough to get to the finals, or maybe win the Btate title, und they have to bo plagued by such a Jinx us that which is barking at their heels. Anyway, boys, I ctin wish you good luck, and here's hoping. Sacramento, March 13.

(JP) Max Baer, seeking an opponent for a heavyweight title defense this summer, will not draw the "color line." Baer's manager, Ancil Hoffman, made that clear today, In anouncing lie had received a $250,000 offer for the champion to meet Joe Louis, sensational young Detroit Negro, in Piltsburgh, July 4. Hoffman en Id he was taking (he offer, made by Promoter Lew Raymonds of Pittsburgh, seriously, but could take no action until he hears from Madison Square Garden officials, to whom he gave notice yesterday to name an opponent for Baer within 30 days. "It depends on what happens at the Garden," declared Hoffman. "If they name us a suitable opponent, we will have to accept. It not, we will take the next best bet." Asked if Baer had any objections to meeting a Negro, Hoffman emphatically said: "Certalnl yot.

Baer is willing to light anybody if the financial arrangements are right. I had understood that Louis did not want to meet Baer yet, but if he does, and the bout can be arranged to suit us, will fight him," Hoffman explained that while Baer would like to light two opponents tblB summer, his contract with the Garden calls for a bout not later than June lu. 'If the Garden sets a fight tor that date." Hoffman said, "the suggested Fourth of July match in Pittsburgh will come a little too early. Hoffman said be would send an immediate reply to Raymond, making the situation clear, but not refusing the offer outright.

Lew Raymond today telegraphed Max Baer an offer of $250,000 to defend his heavyweight title against Joe Louis, Detroit Negro, at Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, on July Fourth. The telegram was addressed to Ancil Hoffman, Baer's manager, at Sacramento, Calif.

It requested an immediate answer. Raymond represents the Sportsmen's Enterprise, incorporated, which backed the middleweight championship fight last summer In Pittsburgh between Vluce Dundee and Teddy Yaroez. Raymond did not Bay 'whether he has Louis' agreement to face Baer. NAZIS WANT QUIET Berlin, March 13. the German public is keen to have Max Baer, the heavy weight champion, come to Berlin to defend his title against Max Schmellng, Nazi circles tonight were in the embarrassing position of not wanting to ballyhood the match more than is necessary.

Baer is regarded as anti-Hitler in Germany. His quoted remark that "every punch In the eyo 1 give Schmellng one for Adolf Hitler" still rankles the Nazis. On the other hand they appreciate the fact that it the bout Is staged here it will be a good impetus for the 1936 Olympics besides boosting the government's campaign to interest eyery German In sports. Authorities decided today, however, that the newspapers made too much of Schmeling's championship chances after his knockout of Steve Hamas last Sunday, particularly since tho negotiations for Baer 's coming have not been' completed. Failure there would be as embarrassing as would success in view of 's Jewish blood and the banning of hiB picture, "The Prlise Fighter and the Lady." Walter Rothenberg, who promoted last Sunday's fight, told The Associated Press today he and Baer have agreed on $300,000 as Baer 's price.

NEIL Attoclated Preti Sportt Writer Lakeland, March 13. Un shaken, apparently, by the savage mauling of the Dean boys and the rest of the riotlous Cardinal crew In last fall's world series, Aiickey (Joch- rane'e Tigers, with malice afore thought end kindness in their hearts for no one, are aiming Btratght for another American league chainpio ship.

"We got a taste of what It was like last year," says the embattled Irishman from Bridgeport, "and we liked the taste. Sure enough, the Cards beat us in that seventh, playoff game, but we're all the tougher now because of It." The award of 1935 flag to the Cleveland Indians or the Yankees, as many of the experts are doing right now, is a trifle premature Cochrane thinks. Mickey Fears Yanks "Who are the Indians?" he asks "We beat them easily over 154 games last season and they've got the same ball club this year. The Yanks, even without Babe Ruth, are the gang I'm watching. But we're young and We'll be better this year.

We're still climbing. Mickey admits only one weakness, lack of reserve outfield strength. While he thinks he has enough to go along all right, ho tried mighty hard in the oft season to pick up one more clouthing flychaser. Leon "Goose" Goslln, one of baseball's perenial rambling brooks, still rolls steadily along on his bowed legs, grinning and beltlg though he's 34. "Jo Jo" White, one of the Tigers' few real world series heroes, is a iirst class centerflelder, but Pete For in right and the reserve of Bob Seeds, Gerald Walker, and a likely looking youngster, Chester Morgan from Beaumont, could stand a little more help.

i "But there isn't any team in the league has more than two outstanding outfielders," says Mickey, "and who am I to went more than the other fellows 7" The rest of the team is the 3334 steamroller that waded through the American league and finished off by itself while the Cards and Giants were shredding each other in the National league battle through the stretch. Howe Better Than Ever Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe, ace; of the pitching staff, looks bigger end even faster than ever, if possible, and with Tommy Bridges and Elden Auker, more right banders provides a first bowling line averaging slightly over 26 of age Rowe won 24 games. Bridges 22, and Auker 15 last year. They figure to be belter. On top of these Cochrane has a flock of cupable pitching support and some of the brightest rookies in any training camp.

Alvin Crowds and Fred Mnrberry. the latter with 15 victories last year, are still exceptional right banders. Elon Hogaett and Charley Fisher are full of left handed relief work. Then there's a young southpaw named Clyde Hatter from Louisville. Mickey says "if he Isn't a big league pitcher, then I never suw one." Mickey will carry ten pitchers, probably, through the season.

Among them will be big right bander, Steve Larkin, with Beaumont last season, and Joe Sullivan, southpaw from Hollywood who won 25 games in the Pacific Coast league. Luke Hamlin hag fractured arm and is out most of the season, und the veteran, Vic Sorrell may not stick long. "Why," we've got more pitching," says Mickey, "than we know what' to do with." Fine Rookie inlleldor The infield that played 153 games together last Hank Greenbei'g on first, tho able Charley Gehringer nt second, Bill Rogell at shortstop and Marvin Owen at third -is intact again, but theve's a kid shortstop, Frank Parker, here from Beaumont, who fields so beautifully he'd make any Infield in the country if he could hit .280. Trouble is they ere afraid he can't. Tho same applies to Dixie Howell, Alabama's Rose Bowl football hero, who is due shortly to appear for shortstop training lu Beaumont.

Tex. A youngster breaking in there must remember that Cochvae's Infield four, nil but Gehringer, youngsters themselves, drove in an average of close to 100 runs each In 1934. The catching will be done by Gordon S. Cochrane, porbably In the same manner that has been.the envy of everyone else for may years. Ray Hay worth'is still his assistant.

'We've got some old scores to settle with the National league next fall," says Mickey "and there's nobody in this league going to get in our way if we con help It."
