the Baseball Writers’ Association of America in their voting to elect Immortals to the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N. Y., the game's birthplace, has been at- ~ tested by the tabulations of ballots cast in the two elections go far held. . .. Larry Lajoie, Tris Speaker and Cy Young —the men chosen this winter to join in perpetual comradestip with the first five, elected last year-—ranked in the same order last winter as this, proving that the writers have devoted time and serious thinking to, the matter, as well as enthusiasm. : * The tabulation of January, 1936, ran thus: Ty Ccbb, 222; Hans Wagner and Babe Ruth, 215; Christy Mathewson; 205; Walter Johnson, 189; Larry Lajoie, 146; Speaker, 133; Young, 111, then the rest. . . . The January, 1937, tabulation advanced the men ranking sixth, seventh and eighth last year into the first three positions, all three of them receiving a better than the required 75 per cent vote. It does not necessarily follow that the men ranking fourth, fifth and sixth in this winter’s tabulation will automatically move up into the 75 per cent bracket next winter, but the way this succession operated this year did show plainly the worth and soundness of the Hall of Fame idea and the consistency of opinion on the part of the men whose mission it. is to record the history %f baseball as played in the major league cities.

A special board will soon announce names of 19th Century baseball men—players, managers, officials—whose outstanding efforts in the national game’s pioneer years qualified them for immortalization... . Active players will become eligible for the Hall of Fame when their major league careers have ended. . . . Including Lajoie, Speaker and Young, whose names were on at least three of every four ballots this year, there were seven men who were named on more than half the ballots. . . .

OE GOULD, the ring-wise manager of Champion Jim Braddock, has been scouting Joe Louis at the Detroiter’s training camp at Pompton Lakes, N. J. ... The Bomber is to meet Bob Pastor, New York heavy, tomorrow night. . . . Gould's size-up of Joe follows: “He's a great fighter. Sure he was knocked out and maybe heill be knocked out again. Why? Because he’s always in there fighting on his merits. He doesn’t pick his opponents and doesn’t bother to ask who the referee is. Every time he goes to bat you're seeing a genuine fight. No inexperienced fighter has a chance against Joe. To beat him. a fighter must be experienced and cagey and able to take a punch. He's got to lay back and wait for his chance. If Pastor tries to mix it with Louis, it will be too bad. Schmeling has a good punch, he has patience and

Independent Basketball Notes

A field goal by Bill Beaning in the last minute of the second extra period gave the Fairview Cardinals a 25-23 victory over the Linwood quintet last night at the Tabernacle gymnasium. ‘ The game enabled the Fairview team to'keep its lead in the Tabernacle League, with four straight victories. Linwood started fast and led 8-1 at the end of the first quarter. At the half they still were ahead, 11-6. As the second half started Linwood began to draw away from the Cardinals and the score at the end of the third quarter was 17-12, Linwood went ahead to 20-14 before a rally by Pratt, Fisher and Beaning gave the Cardinals a 23-22 margin with 30 seconds left to play. Linwood connected on a technical foul shot and the game ended, 23-23. ‘ Both teams went scoreless in the first overtime period, but Beaning’s final shot in the second period gave the Fairview boys the margin of victory. he

the Kautsky A. C.’s at Butler Fieldhouse next Wednesday night. The Philadelphians were recommended to Manager Frank Kautsky by Bob Douglas, manager of the Renaissance team as the smoothest passing combination his team has faced this season. The team is strictly an all-Jew-ish combination, and one of the best balanced in the game. Every man is an all-around performer and especially adept at some particular maneuver. Most of the players learned their basketball in colleges of the country. The big attraction is scheduled at 8:45, with a preliminary between the Kingan Reliables and E. C. Atkins Saw Works starting at 7:30.
