The Davis boys triumphed, 15 to 10, but they were given stiff opposition all the way and were able to pull out only by a rally in the last five minutes. Cumberland had a squad of fighters on the floor and they held a 7 to 6 lead at the half. The early part of the second period found the teams in a terrific struggle, but Davis finally got the upper hand and drew out in front for a five-point victory. Cumberland got only two field goals, but Jolly dropped in five out of six from the foul line and kept his team in the running. Strebe also snared five out of six free throws for Ben Davis. He also got two field markers, as did Wakefield. Ben Davia (16). Cumberland (10:. Lenta F Jolly Strebe ............F............. Brier Wakefield .........C...........

BASEIiALUNG IN JAPAN Japs Outfoxed Americans On the Dog Question

HOW the chow dogs bought in Japan suffered heavy casualties and the reasons for this given American big leaguers “baseballing in Japan” is told to Billy Evans of the NEA Service staff.

By WAITE HOYT, New York American Pitcher and World Series Hero, r HEN It came to baseball, wo \\ had no trouble outguessing ” the Japs, but how they outfoxed us on the dog question!

WHILLE fans in different sections of the State are picking teams and stars of the season, from whi c h arguments galore are. arising, fans, players and coaches and most of all the fans of Morgan. Owen, Hendricks and Putnam Counties agree on one thing, “Tudor of Monrovia is in a class by himself as a foul goal shoot-

er.” During the regular season he threw 161 out of 202 attempts from the foul line. During the Morgan County tournament he tossed 45 out of 55 and also made a straight run of 61 consecutive goals. Tudor is a junior in school and is counted on by Coach Herbert Curtiss as the main cog in his machine next year. This year they won 19 out of 23 games. Only one man will be lost by graduation year and Coach Curtiss expects a good team again next year. Monrovia is regarded as a strong contender for the Mooresvillc sectional honors, where they are playing.

TWENTY EASTERN COLLEGES READY FOR BIG MEET Track Athletes Sharpen Their Spikes for Indoor Track and Field Games, ; By United Press XEW YORK. March 3.—Athletes I of twenty leading Eastern colleges • are sharpening their spikes for the annual indoor inter collegiate track and field games at the 22nd regiment armory here tonight. There is no genera! favorite this year, but there will be no lack of keen conrpetltion because most of the coaches are on hand with well balanced teams over which they are lavishing the affectionate care of a mother hen. Cornell, with a team of thirty two, | is out to retain the title which they won last year, but Princeton is also on deck with a formidable gang to say nothing of the Dartmouth aggro ration which recently won the Harvard Cornell Dartmouth triangular meet. All in all It promises to be a ; big evening. Presence of some of the country's I greatest athletes apparently will tie , up a good many of the first place, but fortunately for the entertainment of the spectators It Is more often the case than otherwise that second and third places decide the championship in a meet of this sort.

sealed before we even got them out of Japan. The Japs desire to keep up the price on chow dogs by making the species rare. The chow dog is regarded as very delicate as to constitution, but it’s my belief that many of the deaths are caused hy the feeding. The Jap breeders of the chow dogs never refused a sale, and often cut the price considerably to put over the transaction. In practically every case :cfter buying a dog it was necessary to let it remain in the kennels until we were ready to take it aboard ship. There was the rub. After leaving Japan wo were told that usually the dog was fed a certain concoction that after a time caused great suffering and usually death. It was alleged that the Japs would take a heavy piece of bamboo, bend it over, cover it with cotton and then tie it with a strong thread. It was then placed in some rice and fed to tho dog. The story goes that as soon as the thread Is broken, the bamboo stick springs open and ruptures the intestines of tho dog. It is a fact that every one of the twenty-one dogs that died suffered In exactly the same way. Every possible attention was given them but not a single one rallied. Yes, sir! Those Japs didn’t make much trouble for us in baseball, but what a trimming they gave us on the clog question. jen work to fool the Japanese batters.

Progress of Games at Coliseum

Long and Short Shots at the Coliseum

SHADELAXD scored only five points in the second hajf of their game with Broaol Ripple. Ripple ran wild In this session. The Manual-Lawrence game was a complete rout, Manual scoring 26 points to Lawrence's 1 in the first half and winning 33 to 8 by halfhearted playing. Manual has the material for a championship team. Lyle of Lawrence is a born basket ball player, but Is so small that he has no chance against the larger opponents. Many times during the game with Manual he broke up plays that seemed headed straight for points. Two officials are scarcely enough (o handle a tourney with justice to all teams. The pace of the meet tells on the officials as well as the players, and one cannot help but noticing that the officials’ work slows up somewhat toward the end of the day. Three officials with one resting each game and two working the game might be the solution to the problem. The Tech rooters sure were there I with all of the stuff that it takes to I make teams fight. Their green penI n.ants waving in unison made an im- | pressive sight, and the noise accomI panying it was no whisper either. Shortridge rooters were there in force with blue and white "mops” and megaphones of the same color. Manual's red and white megaphones and Its lungs were the South tzide BABESOIR IS SERIOUSLY ILL Big Bambino Has Temperature of 104, : By United Pu ss HOT riRRIXOS.

SHADY DECISIS OF LATE GOUTS AROUSE ILDOON New York Boxing Commissioner Seeking New Judges —Says Villa Won, By HEXRY FARRELL United Pres Sports Editor NEW YORK, March 3.—Transfer of two ring titles by what he brands as “sour decisions” has aroused the wrath of William Muldoon, the boxing czar of New York, and he is looking for anew staff. Muldoon, chairman of the New York boxing commission, has announced that he will weed out tho list of referees and judges and give some new talent a chance. Muldoon surprised all the experts I when he came out and expressed his I private opinion that Harry Greb had beaten Tunney in their recent bout ; when the judges declared Tunney the winner. The commissioner disagreed with his officials In their verdict over the i Genaro-Villa fight which removed the flyweight crow n from the head of Villa. “The margin was not enough to change a championship. In fact, I thought Villa won all the way,” he said. Muldoon then expressed the opinion that perhaps the commission needed some new judges and perhaps It would be a good thing to get them. Xo one qu-a ions the honesty of the men who voted to remove the regal robes from Harry Greb and Pancho Villa, but a lot of the boys maintain that these judges didn't know much about fighting. Opinion with some of the boys, however, is influenced by the way they bet. The decisions in the Tunney-Greb and Genaro-Vllla bouts practically meant decapitation of Muldoon as the chairman of the commission and the revision of the entire commission, according to political gossips. Governor Smith pays little attention to boxing matters and admits that he knows little about the game. He, however, expects his first lieutenant. Senator Jimmy Walker, to keep ' an eye on the game, and Walker Is said to have his ire up now, and he wants to get Muldoon out. CROSBY IN MAIN BOUT AT MARION CLUB SHOW Four matches have been arranged for the boxing entertainment to be given at the -Marion Club Monday. Pinkie Crosby, the husky sailor, will ' appear In the feature attraction .against Johnny Rose of St. Paul. It , will be a scheduled ten-round affair. They are middleweights. . it© an ! Jack Vault, lightwel .this, wail meet in an eight-round semi wind-up. Other bouts will be: It:, v Walsh and Tommy Britt, six rounds, and Bid bie McGovern and | Ividie English, four rounds.
