that the Ribbons forged to the front, the score being 32 to 29.
 The second half; however, was the most strenuous one. The ball was tossed up in the center and soon rushed to beneath the Ribbons goal. Along came Reich and pushed it in. A few minutes later Chief Mueller scored a basket tieing the score, 31- all The whistle blew and it was de- cided to play an extra five minutes.
 Never have ten men fought harder than those two teams fought in those extra five minutes. Everyone was busy. A foul was called on the An sonians and on this the locals scored a point, forging again to the front, but only for a short while, for with but less than a minute to go Dehnert came through the jam with a perfect goal-that won the game.
 Now with the championship series disposed of, the Ribbons will devote their time to preparing themselves for the big game with the New York All-Stars at Colonial hall next Tues day night. The summary of last nights game follows:

With the first set of games in the series tied, each contestant having won an equal number of games, Con ne Lewis, State duckpin champion, will tomorrow resume hostiHties with Bob Stone of Waterbury at his Park City Alleys, Fairfield avenue, as a favorite. The first half of the series was rolled last night at Waterbury in the presence of about 100 fans from this city and thrice as many from the Brass City.
 Tomorrow night the two will roll 1 games. The Waterbury star will carry with him a large number of rooters who have far from lost hope that he will cop the s500 purse.

that the promoter out there wanted to sign him for four agements there during the next five weeks. The promoter there says he Is will ing to guarantee Mike O'Dowd $10,- 900 for a bout with Britton, accord ing to Morgan, who believes he has the greatest fighting man the ring has ever developed.
 April 2S Is the date agreed upon by the managers of Willie Jackson and Cal Delaney of Cleveland and Matchmaker Jimmy Dunn of the Moose A. c. in Cleveland, where the bout will be staged. The boys should furnish an interesting battle if in the proper physical condition.
 Besides managing Louis Bogash, Red Allen and Larry Williams, Sam Driver of this city has also been ap- pointed New England representative of Dan Morgan's stable. This infor- Nlation reached the writer from New York today.
 Charley Pitts. the Australian light weight who is a full fIedged Bridge porter and who has just returned from France where he saw war ser vice. has started training in New York. Sam Driver is managing Pitts and is arranging several matches for him for the near future.
 Larry Williams of this city wound up his training today for his bout with CIeve Hawkins. at the Webster Mass, club tomorrow night. Larry will leave for that town early tomor- ! row morning. If CIeve has not inn proved 100 per cent. in the last year and Williams is in good shape, the local light heavyweight should knock him out.
 Al Lippe believes he has the only lad in the country who is capable oi taking the welterweight crown now worn by Jack Britton. Al has refer | ence to K. O. Loughlin of Philadel- phia, who has been doing splendid work in the eastern rings during the past three months.

ANSONIA NOW
 PRO CHAMPIONS
 OF CONNECTICUT
Dehnert's Only Goal Enables Invaders to Take Title From
 Blue Ribbons.
FINAL SCORE 34 TO 8.

Dehnert's only field goal of the fessional basketball champions of the state.
 It was his well aimed toss in the extra session necessitated through q tie score that last night brought to an end the Blue Ribbons-Ansonia se- ries at Colonial hall, before one of the largest crowds of the season. And what a game it was. It was one of those contests in which anything was liable to happen. And there were surprises, too.
 The Ansonians meant business last night. This was realized soon af- ter the game started. They took all chances and extensively they never played a better game in this season. Victory was theirs and it was a de- servedly one, too, for never has a team played basketball and fought | harder and cleaner than did the up state boys iii the series that has just closed.
 When it was all over the score was found to be 34 to 33. Just be- | fore Dehnert had scored that goal | that decided the championship. the
 
 1 thus forcing the clash into the over ] time. But nobody minded. There were many young lassies whose feet 1 were just aching for a dance. but l their male escorts were too busy | watching the game to give them any | thought and a loud whoop of cheer i irg went up when the locals prolong- 1 ed the game with their tieing goal. | The Ribbons 1ought furiousIy, but they lacked the proper de- fence. While they showed a slight improvement over their 1 play of last week, they could not 1 cope with the invaders, who were at their best. Wright was right for once. Manager John Wright
 is deserving of all the credit in
 the world. for he is heading a
 truly wonderful organization of
 basketball players and it will be a treat for Brid exporters to have
 the series resumed next season. i But to go back to the game. II ! was one of the best the writer has ever witnessed. There was nothing | sensational so far as plays were con- cerned, but the rivalry was there and both fought from the start to the l finish without a letup.
 The Ribbons were in hot water al-
 most all during the game. Even in
 the first half they more than had
 their hands full and just before the
 period closed 1t looked as if the op-
 position would sew up the game at
 that early stage of the battle, but Johnny Beckman came to the locals
 rescue. He came through with won darful tricky p1aez EEith tA> ,.----1i

RITCHIE WILL
 PLAY GOLF AS
 TRAINING STUNT
Former Champion Will Be On Links While Preparing For
 Leonard BOut-GOIf News.

Willie Ritchie is training for his boxing exhibition with~Benny Leonard on golf. He was over at Great Neck the first of the week, and expects to play several rounds there in the next ten days. Ritchie is an enthusiastic advocate of golf as training measure.
 Walter Clifford, who but recently returned from Oklahoma, where he has oil interests. says that the popu- lation there is just awakening to golf. Many of the Indians who have ac- cumulated vast fortunes out of oil lands will soon be seen following the
 little ball over hill and dale. One clua there, says Clifford, is composed of Indians exclusively.
 J. D. Edgar, one of the leading golf professionals Of England, arrived in New York yesterday. He will visit Fox Hills today and play in d four ball match with Pipe Follett against John Anderson and Tommy Me Namara. Edgar had an offer waiting for him when he landed here. and immediately accepted it. He will be the new pro at the Druid Hills Coun- try Club at Atlanta, the course where Perry Adair halls from.

John L. Sullivan Established Precedence Many Years Ago. COlored HeavyWeights Have Been Unusually Inactive.

e INCE THE heavyweight cham O pionship of the world has re- turned to the possession of the white race as represented by Jess Willard, the victor has not been challenged by a negro, except for the recent noise made by Jack Johnson in Mexi- co, which cannot, of course, be taken seriously. Nevertheless, had such a challenge been forthcoming, the champion would undoubtedly have followed the example set by John L.. Sullivan twenty-seven years ago to morrow and would have refused to risk his title in q bout with a negro. It was on April 11,1892. that John L.. Sullivan established a pugilistic pre- cedent by drawing the "color line" and refusing to cross it to accept the challenge of Peter Jackson. Later in the same year Sullivan lost his title to Jim COrbett, who, the proceeding year, had fought a siXty-one round draw with the big Australian black. If Jackson had not been q cripple at the time, as the result of injuries re Ceived in a fall from a buggy. he might have whipped Corbett, and he could almost certainly have defeated Sullivan.

Irish Patsy C1ines return to form has added another prominent mem Der to the welter weight division. Cline's- two-round knockout of Jimmy Duffy al Montreal recently shows that the New Yorker is as good as he ever was and perhaps a. little bit bet ter. Several months ago Cline was seriously injured in an automobile ac- c!dent and for a time 1t was feared that he would never again be able to box. Apparently his long rest has cone him much good. The reports from Montreal stated that Cline hits like a heavyweight and that he has lost none of his speed and skill. Cline is now ready to tackle any of the stars.

While public opinion Is against bouts between white and colored men. it must be admitted by all fair minded fans that the African race has produced some of the cIeverest and brainest ring gladiators in the history of the game. Tn the opinion of many experts Jackson was the greatest of all fighting machines, and George Dixon was assuredly a star among the little fellows. Joe Wal colt, the welterweight champion. and Joe Cans who held the lightweight title, rank among the best men of their respective divisions.

Hubert was elected to the pres idency of the oldest major league shortly after it's organization in 1875, and held the office until his death During his incun1bency the gamblers threatened to kill baseball, and only the genius and firm and unbending attitude of President Hubert saved the professional game from dying in infancy. It was Hubert who orig mated the famous expression, T would rather be a lamp-post in Chi cago than the mayor of any city on the face of the globe It goes with out saying that Chicago was his na- tive city.

 Recalls Famous Battle

Sam Langford and Joe Jeanette were not far behind him.
 The appearance Of the "culud'' man in pugiIism dates back to more than a century ago, when Virginia negro named Tom Molineaux went over to England and challenged Tom Cribb, the champion. It is said tha- the black man knocked out Cribb, but that the white man was permitted to revive and continue to fight, and in the end the white race was saved from the ignominy of the defeat of it's chosen gladiator by a. son of Africa.

Wine Manufacture
in Home Permitted
by House Conferees

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE prin-
cipal Senate amendment liberalizing
the prohibition enforcement bill, to
permit home manufacture for indl-
vidual consumption of "nonintoxi-
eating cider and light wines, was
accepted late yesterday by the
House conferees and placed finally in
the bill subjec. to action on the con-
ference report.
Other disputes between the Senate
and House conferees went over tenn
porarily, probably until late this
week, when a complete agreement
is expected. Enactment of the bill
probably will be delayed until next
week.
In adopting the Senate amendment
authorizing the making of light
wines and cider for domestic use,
the conferees added a further lib
eralizing provision nermitting trans
portation of mountaineering wines
and elders for the purpose of con-
version into vinegar.
The principal controversy yet to
be settled is over the burden of
PROOF in the case of persons found
intoxicated. The House conferees,
1t is said, are insisting that the bur-
den of proof should be upon defend
ants, while the Senate conferees are
reported to hold the opposite view.
