In the afternoon session, the Bemis boys defeated Mercer 29 to 25 to qualify for the finals. In like manner.

Jackson trounced Malesus. 30 to 17, to move into the final brackets. The Bemis girls defeated Malesus, 25 to 15, to play Mercer, who drew a bye, in the finals. It was the Jackson-Bemis boys' gam that held the crowd breathless through 48 minutes of fast, clean basketball. Nip and tuck all the vay, the teams remained tied most of the way and it was not until the final period that Bemis managed to hold a one point lead until thf final whistle.

The Bemis lads gained a little in the third quarter and were leading 20 to 18 as the period ended. The 24-23 final marked the end of a bang-up game and the crowd relaxed for the first time during the fray. Haltom and Russell sparked the Bemis lead and Coyne took high honors for the Bears with 8 points. Thornton of Jackson tallied 6 while Hassell trumped 4.

Main CHIROPODIST FOOT SPECIALIST Dr. David Rosenthal Phone 492 Bv BERT COLLIER MIAMI. March 2 UP) When Ben A. Jones says it looks like Sun Again again, the cautious Calumet Farm trainer is not indulging in double talk. He is merely indicating that his five-year-old horse Sun Again continues to show the form that brought victory in the $7,500 McClen-nan week before last and has given him the role of favorite in the $25,000 Widener at Hialeah Park Saturday.

Jones doesn't say Sun Again will win. He never goes out on a nmo likA that But he does declare the horse is "as fit as can be" and has called for a few easy workouts to keep him on edge for the rich climax event of the Hialeah season. Thi chestnut offsDrinsj of Sun Teddy and Hug Again had a way of developing ailments before big races in his early days. As a three-year-old he rated high in the pre-Kentucky Derby picture, then faded because of injuries and had a disappointing season. Such past jQneg taks of nis prospects.

Just before the McC historv is always in mina wuwi hefnre the McClennan. Jones announced the horse had re turned to his pre-Derby lorm ana was running better than at any time in two years. He had taken a prep sprint and finished second in his winter debut after earning $27,100 in 1943. Sun Again stepped out in the McClennan and beat a field that included several of his Widener rivals. There will be new talent in the Widener, however, and Sun Again will have tough competition in Co: ward and Dupuy's Marriage and Mrs.

Edward Mulrenan's First Fiddle, newcomers from New Orleans. He will also be up against Green-tree Stable's Four Freedoms, which finished strongly for second money in the McClennan and was gaining on the leader at the end. The Widener is over a mile and a quarter course, a furlong more than the previous test. Jones Was A Great One With Ladies In '43 LOUISVILLE. March 2.

Ben A. Jones, trainer for Warren Wrights Calumet Farm, was a great one with the young ladies of the turf last year. Ben prepped Twilight Tear and Miss Keeneland. and. at the end of 1943.

found the former rated by many as the best 2 year old filly, with Miss Keeneland a runner-up. Twilight Tear ran 6 times in 1943 winning 4. taking one second and one third, and earning $34,610. Miss Keeneland appeared in 8 races, won 4. was second on three other occasions, and earned Twilight Tear is bred for speed; Miss Keeneland for the routes.

The former is by Bull Lea-Lady T.nrW and that means swiftness id that means swiftness for 6 or 7 furlongs, but not mucn beyond ine ianfi Keeneland is by Blenheim II-Lady Peace, and there's durability on both sides of the family. Blenheim II. an English horse, and a great one, sired Whirlaway, who never showed to advantage until he hit the seven furlong pole. Jones has not revealed his plans for the youthful fillies, but chances are he will reserve Twilight Tear for the sprints, and call upon Miss Keeneland for races over routes like the Kentucky Derby mile and a quarter. The Jones dependence for Derbv glory may be placed in the colt.

Pensive, but if he doesn show up too well in his spring trials, the astute Jones may call upon Miss Keeneland to try to win a third Kentucky Derby for him. CLAIMS MOTHERS SHOULD NOT WORK IN U. S. INDUSTRIES Mrs William Berry, of Greensboro. I N.
