Girls Play Fast
 Basketball Contest
EdgewOOdS and Annex in Tie Game-Newspapermen Beat Singers and Cranes Win From Bullards
(By Wagner.)

The Edgewood and Annex girls. who played scoreless tie a week ago, -clashed again at basketball last night at Colonial hall and the honors were again even. This time the final score was to 2. In an effort to set tie things the maidens played five l minutes overtime but neither was able to tally.
 The teams are evenly matched. The Annex team eXcelled in passing bur the EdGewOOdS were superior In
 blocking. Neither side showed any ability to shoot One reason for this is, because the officials permit too
 much holding. If a girl appears to have chance for a goal, two or three of the enemy bounce upon her and she goes to the floor, while feminine shrieks rend the air and strong men weep.
 Miss Donovan put in the first goal of the evening in the early part of the game and it looked as if that would be sufficient for victory pur the Edgewoods came back strongly in the second round and Miss Carlson tied the score with a neat shot. Mss Neary and Miss Donovan gCc tangled during an exciting moment and when they were pulled apart, Mi9s Dono- vans blouse was minus a sleeve. She blushingly retired but soon reappear- ed. wearing a sweater to conceal the shapely arm.
 Miss Carlson and Miss Weary eN- celled for the Edgewoods. Miss Donovan and Miss Mccarthy did the honors for the Annex. The score:

MIKE GIBBONS NOW WANTS
 TO BE MIDDLEWE|CHT CHAMP
Jim Corbertt Thinks St. Paul Wonder and Eddie McGOOrty Will Eventually Battle For Title

 note where Frank Klaus, regard ed as one of the legitimate aspirants for titular honors, opines that Eddie McGoorty is the man he will have to lick before claiming the champion ship for his very own. Klaus does not mention Jack Dillon, the Indian apolis boxer. who recently held him to a draw in a limited round bout ill Pittsburg. According to Frank it is a two man affair, and McGoorty is the other fellow.
 sgree with Klaus that McGoorty will have to be beaten to get a clear title. But Dillon must be figured a contender on recent performances. His decisive victory over Leo Houck would suggest that he possesses con- siderable class. According to the dope" he looks every bit as fornMd- able as the redoubtable Pittsburger.
 And now. that Gibbons that is in the ring" one more worthy candidate is added to the list of title seekers. That Mike will quickly fight his way to the top ranks of the middle-weights there is not the slightest doubt in my mind.
 I will not be surprised if Gibbons and McGoorty eventually battle for the championship. believe they have a bit of class that is lacking In the other fellows. Both are not only unusually clever, but hard hitters as their records testify. Mike probab- ly excels in speed, but both are mas ters of the art of boxing.

Strange but nevertheless true that a new champion is seldom given credit for being the real thing immediately af- ter deposing the former title holder. He must clean up few more of the boys before the rest of the gang begin to show, that respect the boss ofs the division is entitled to.
 Same way when Wolgast bested Nelson. The other boys complained of their hard luck in not getting a chance at the Battler when he was only a shadow of himself, and pre- dicted Ado,ph would meet with early defeat. etc, etc. Kilbane will find himself in the same boat; he will be pestered with challenges from every feather-weight in the country whd has graduated from pork and bean class.
 It is not alone the victory over At tel that proves Kilbane worthy hold CT of the championship. In the last twelve months the Cleveland boxer met and defeated such clever boys as Joe Rivers, Patsy Kline and Frankie Conley as we'll as a number of lesser lights. In Tom McCarey's elimination tournament he proved conclusively that he was the best feather in ttze country. barring Attell, and he demon strated last week that he is the mas ter of that veteran at every point of the game.
