FATHER DIES AS SON PLAYS GAME NEW LEXINGTON', March 22- fP George Swine-hart, It, retired contractor, fell dead at nearby Glenford Friday as he was listening to a radio broadcast of the Glenford-Hicksville basketball game In the state tournament at Columbus.

Swinehart'g son, Dwight, a Glenford reserve, played in the second half of the game, unaware that his father had died. Questions and Answers Comes a card from a Franlau K. Lutz of Wapakoneta, asking us to answer a few Questions in regard to Third Period Slump Gives Xenia Team 27-23 Victory Ottawa Countians Unable To Hold First Period Lead; Practically Every Favorite In Both Classes Out Of Play The last of the northwestern Ohio quintets bowed out of the state basketball tournament Friday when Elmore, Fremont district titlists and Ottawa county champions dropped a heart-breaking game to Xenia, Ohio Soldiers Sailors Orphanage by a 27 to 23 score. A mid-game slump cost Coach Al Turner's boys both! the game and a berth in the semi-final round. Away to a 12 to 5 lead in the opening period, the Ottawa countians lost most of their advantage in the second period when they were outscored, 11 to 5, although they still managed to cling to a 17 to 16 edge at halftime.

The third period was the downfall. After tying the score at 18 to 18, the Elmore lads faded, the lone free throw being the only point they scored in the entire stanza whila the Orphans were ringing up seven for a 23 to 18 lead. Tired from the long grind, the Turnermen just couldn't rally. Capt. Bob Schroerter, who was- counts of nine in that fatal round.

Simon was on hit feet, his hands gripping the top rope of the ring in his own corner, but he was helpless and could not continue. As a reward for his courageous and surprising showing, Promoter Mike Jacobs planned today to give Simon another shot at the title. He intends to rematch the pair for a 15-round engagement in New York, May 16. Simon and his manager, Jimmy Johnston, protested ending the fight Simon declared that Louis' blows did not hurt him at any time. He shouted defiance at Louis even when the doctors were closing an inch and one-half gash in the lid of his left eye: "Why did they stop it?" he demanded.

"It was the 13th round, wasn't It? And this was Friday, too. Holy, jumping Bolivar! The next time I fight I hope it's on Thursday." DETROIT, March 23 Slide over, AI McCoy, Red Bur-man and Gus Dorazio, and make room for Comrade Able Simon a fighter with courage almost beyond imagination. Ponderous Abe Simon, 254 pounds of him, has joined the ranks of 14 other futile contenders for Joe Louis' world's heavyweight championship, but in so doing he gave the Brown Bomber the hardest and most surprising fight he has experienced as title-holder, fooling everybody in a standing-room crowd of 18,908 in Detroit's Olympia arena last night. Three thousand were turned away. Simon, figured to last no longer than four rounds, fell victim to a technical knockout after one minute and 20 seconds of fighting in the 13th round.

Head- Johnny Orphal, who labored on the hill here for the Green Sox for a time last summer. It's really the first baseball missive of the season and, if for no othej reason, deserves mention. Mr. Lutz (we assume it's a Mr.) asks three questions, as follows: 1.

Have you seen Orphal pitch? If so, do you think he is better than a Class pitcher? 2. Why did the Fremont club suspend him last season? 3. Why don't the Fremont club give him his release, that he has requested, so that he can sign with some other club? Before we make any attempt to answer the above queries we think that we should assure Mr. Lutz and the public here as well, that we are not answering for the baseball club. We will try and answer the questions the same as we would if Mr.

Lutz had button-holed us on the street and, grasping the front of our coat in one hand and shaking the other, rolled into a fist, into our face.

When he was good he was very, very good as his strikeout of 120 in 13 games proves, but like most class chuk-kers, he was bad as often as he was good. That record of six victories and five defeats proves that.

So the pillar doesn't honestly believe he was ready for faster company on what he displayed here last year. His winning percentage of .545 left him far down on the list among Ohio State league pitchers. Second, the reason for his suspension was entirely between him and club directors. We aren't positive of the reason, but If we remember correctly, It was about the time some of the players thought they were bigger than baseball and threatened to strike if Ray Caldwell was released as manager and refused to do their best for Luke Sewell.

The two took turns working on Kilonis, keeping him from his partner's corner? and then made short work of Tarzan Paul, who took plenty of punishment. All Nice Boys The second fall was different and dirtier. Orth and LaCross must have thought they were boxers as they stood toe-to-toe and slugged, but it was only a warmup for the finale.
