New York. Feb. s.-Joseph Mayer of
Philadelphia broke the triple tie for
first place in the national amateur
championship by defeating ]. Ferdi-
nand Poggenburg, 400 to PSI. in their
match at the Hanover club, yesterday

three hours and a quarter. Mayer fin

with an unfinished run of 81
Poggenburg's three-cushion play was
very poor and what little good work
he did was marred by hard luck. many
of his chances being spoiled by kisses.
The Philadelphia had an average of
4-45. with high runs of 81, "a and So.
Poggenburg averaged 14-45 and his
best clusters were 20. % and 81.

WHITING H. S
PROUD OF
HER TEAM


Whiting. Ind, Feb S.-The basket
ball spirit among the high school stu
dents of Lake County is now at fever
heat and the Whiting team with their
good chances of winning the cham
ptonship, are no exception. The most
interesting game of the season will be
played at the whiting rink next FRI
day night, when the Crown Point high
school team, Will journey here to play
the Whiting boys in a game which will
more than likely determine who will
hold the Lake County banner for this
year.
Early in the season Hobart defeated
Crown Point by small score and later
Gary defeated them, but there seems to
be some question about this game. The
county seat team however showed their
class, when they defeated the fast
Hammond team by a large score.
The other county teams have each
lost two games. with the exception OF
Whiting who have defeated all the
other schools with the exception of
Crown Point. leaving the local aggre-
cation in the lead
Whiting has developed a fast team,
one which is well balanced, they hav-
ing a style OF play which is hard ito
break up, and at the same time the
guards have a good defense In the
last two games they have kept their
opponents from scoring single field

PAGKEY'S BATTLE
AND GETS DRAW
Coast Boy Puts Up a Great
Bout Against Young
Erne.

Philadelphia. Feb. s-willie Richie
substituting for his stable mate, Pack
ey Mcfarland. held the Grays Ferry
star, Young Erne, to a draw in six
rounds of pretty fighting last night
big crowd packed Tack McGuigan's
National A. C. arena for the show, de-
spite the run-out by Mcfarland, and
they were we'll repaid for their pains.
For Ritchie made as good a fight as
any one could ask, giving Erne as good
as he took all the way. Both boys were
willing and they made each round
three minute periods of real lighting.
Announcers outside the building
yelled through megaphones that
Richie was subbing for Mcfarland
This halted but few, as all had heard
of Ritchie's great fight with Freddie
Welsh on the coast and knew Packey's
partner would give them run for their
money. They saw a dandy fight for
taking the risk
Richie had a shade In the nrst
round and lost the fourth. The others
were about even, and decision either
way would have been a hair line one.
Richie showed a great defense and
also convinced Erne that he could
punch some with his right hand. Erne
weighed 1876 before the bout and
Richie was a pound and half lighter.
Ritchie disclosed a pretty left lab in
the first and cleverly avoided Erne's
right. The. second round saw little DIFF
ference, both going along cautiously.
Richie stung up Erne in the third with
a right hook to the jaw and the local
boy forced tho fighting, shaking up his
man with hard smashes to the face
The fourth round was the best of the
bout. Erne forced the fighting and
drew blood with short right. Richie
showed to best advantage at long
range. while Erne was most effective
fighting close Ritchie continued to
jab effectively In the fifth and sixth.
but Elrnes generaiship kept matters
fairly even.
