Brooklyn’s last visit to Fort Wayne was a memorable one Fort Wayne hav- 1 ing won the first battle by the! narrow margin of two points anil dropping the second tilt by a single point after the police were forced so enter the fray on one occasion when the going became so spirited that the players on both sides took up pugilistic activities. In addition to the Paterson came on Monday night the famous ! Taylor Trunk girls, World champion girls team, will meet the Fort Wayne All Star girls in the first half of a double bill which is prepared. The Taylor Trunks have met and defeated every girl team of any note in the country and have also defeated a great many men’s teams. Now they claim they can beat any six girls in the country with their regular five playing men’s rules. In an attempt so disapprove this boast officials of the Fort Wayne Hoosiers have picked a team from the leading g rl's teams of Fort Wayne and have been drilling them for the nast two weeks and on next Monday night they will send the six best girls against the Taylor Trunk five in an effort to tame these Trunk girls dow'n. This handicap game will be interesting to watch inasmuch as it is the first time anything of this nature has ever been attempted here. From the advance orders for tickets which have been coming in rapidly it looks like another one of those Tavlor Trunk crowds will be in evidence at North Side Court on next Monday night.

(U.R)— Gar-! rulotts Jimmy Johnson today re-, sttmed efforts to talk Phil Scott' into the world's heavyweight i championship. "They say my Phillip is all through in America but they’ve!, said that before and 1 always man ' aged to keep him in the big | money," said Johnston. "He will continue to fight in America and I believe will win the title. ’His I next bout will be with Otto Von Porat at Ch'cago on April 30." After paying his respects to ref-1 eree Lou Magnolia and Jack Shar-. key in highly uncomplimentary [ fashion. Johnston reiterated his I conviction that Scott had been' "ouled by Sharkey and robbed ofl the decision at Miami. He said Scott was willing to fight Sharkey' again and would give his entire purse to charity if given the match. 1 "Scott outfoxed Sharkey so badly in the first two rounds at Miami that Jack knew he was go-| ing to lose and was looking for the| vastest way out.” said Johnston i “I am convinced that he fouled, Scott intentionally. "I expected it. George Cock told me ten days before the fight that Sharkey was training for a foul, and that Jack had been practicing in him. He had to quit Sharkey’s camp for that reason." Johnston said that if Max Schmel ing fights Sharkey as he did against; Paolino Uxcudun, the German' would have no trouble in winning, i “And if Sharkey is no- better than he looked against Scott. Tufty Qrlfi’"s will knock him out," predicted Johnston. According to Johnston. Scott i will fight bis way back into the title competition by defeating Von Pot at and any other heavyweight willing to accept the issue. "Everyone thought Phil, w is, through when he won from Von , Porat through a foul." said John-1 s’on. “I talked him intc the big | shcat at Miami for his next bout After he knocks out Von Porat I don't think I'll have any trouble setting 11 tn matches. “They say he's yellow. Well he’s | ready to prove his by I fighting Sharkey for nothing—'and 1 I'd bet my last dollar that Sharkey wouldn’t meet hint again on any erms.’’ o BIG TEN MEET CLOSES TODAY — M nneapolis. Minn..
