feated the High street lads by a score
Of 40 to 20 IN a basketball game
played ct the Rutherford City Hall.
A small and slippery playing space
handicapped the Centralites. who
were prevented from attempting any
long shots by a net, which was
stretched about nine feet above the
floor for the purpose OF protecting
the lights. The referees decisions
were not at all to the local teams
liking.
Whitehill and Hillhouse were the
stars Of the rutherford team. The
former scored % points on eight field
goals and seven free throws. Hill
house is over six feet tall. and was
an all-scholastic selection for full
back. He brushed aside the Central
players and. standing on tip toes,
dropped the ball in the net.
Lehrhoff got a tryout at his new
position of centre. He was shifted
from guard to pivot in an effort to
stop Whitehill. the Rutherford centre.
In view Of his showing yesterday
Lehrhoff will play McDermit In Fri
days game with st. Benedicts.
Rutherford led at half-time by a
score of Il TO 10. Centra-Ps usual
sprint in the second half was not IN

more substantial advantage.

PAPP GETS BEATING
FROM JACK NADINE
Receives Solid Lacing in Four.
Round Bout at
TrOxler's.
WINNER LACKS WALLOP

Bert Papp was given a sound lacing
at the Central Institute last night by
Jack Nadine in the main four-round
bout. Papp fought poorly all the way,
showing no signs of real milling. He
almost went down for the count in
the third round, and had Nadine been
able to get in just one good wallop
Papp would have probably faced the
mat. Nadine, although fairly clever,
didn't display much. He has one
fault-he cannot hit hard. Compar-
ing him with Carl Victor, the latter
is the better all round, and although
he, too, couldn't dispose of Papp by
the knockout order, Carl displays
more cleverness and fighting ability
than did Nadine last night. Nadine
used both hands to jab, but they were
of the roundhouse line rather than OF
the straight punch.
One Of the best bouts of the eve
nins was that between Frankie Ma
hon, of Harrison, and Billy Telesco
of this city. The former won by q
safe margin through his clever work
in the final rounds. He planted lefts
and rights to Telesco's jaw, but the
latter took everything. which indi-
Gated that he can take a sound lacing
without vince. Mahon Is a clever
youth and has a good wallop.
Barney Livingston handed Young
Salzmann beating In a bout which
had its peculiar ways. Both were
awkward boxers, while the latter
usually took a minute intermission
before he decided to punch. Then he
missed.
Ed Kinloy administered a terrific
lacing to Kid Young, a negro, in q
four-round bout. The latter was just
content to walt for the final bell, and
then he smiled. Young took the beat
ing. however. and showed no signs OF
quitting. Young Patsy lasted less
than a round with Young Hook. The
former on going down. crawled out
of the ring and ran to his dressing
room, apparently afraid of being fol
lowed by Hook.
Although several pounds lighter
than, his opponent, Young Dutch
made a good showing against Mickey
Perna. Dutch had his opponent chas-
ing him all over the ring, but Mickey
managed to earn the decision by a
slight shade.
Ed Seidel beat Young White in
four rounds. while Young Lordi won
from Young Paddy. 1t was announced
that Fred Keibler, of Irvington, and
Smiling Kelly, of Bayonne, will clash
in the star bout at the Troxler show

many points, while the East Side
guards were unable to locate the bas-
