DOBSON CAGE FIVE
STILL UNDEFEATED
Finds Little Trouble Winning
Over Monotype-Fleisher
Shocks General Electric

The J. & J. Dobson basketball FIVE
still stands supreme in the ranks Of
industrial basketball. The Falls cage
representatives last evening kept their
percentage at 900 mark when they
easily polished off the Monotyre repre-
sentatives, considered one of the best
in the Manufacturers Basketball
League, score 1923.
Bob Caihoun's boys started off at n
fast pace, secured a seven point lead
and maintained the advantage to the
end of the first half. which ended 81 10.
In the second period the Dobson team
work was telling factor and they con-
tinued to pile up points and were TAX
ing things rather easy Mt the finish.
The star of the evening was Edwards,
tt rowing guard of the champions. He
had field night shooting the two
pointers. On six occasions he eluded
his opponent and slipped down the floor
ances by a guard this season. Lees
shared the honors with Edwards, while
Bierman and Campbell excelled for
Monotype.
Live Wires" Make Debut
General Electric made its debut in
cage basketball and the Give wires
were shocked themselves by Eddie
Lusk's Flcisher Yarners, who rOmped
away with an easy 37-12 victory. The
downtowners had no trouble in scor'
ing at will as the teamwork Of Genera
Electric was sadly lacking. This is du'
more to the fact that the team was
hastily thrown together than anything
else
A large crowd of fans were on hant
with the electric boys and when the.
get q little more accustomed to eacI
other the scores will not be so one
sided. Atherholt with five goals and X
O'Connel with four were the bes
scorers for Fleisher. Lawry did fin
work for General Electric.

DROSPERITY smiled upon the world of sport this year.
Il Baseball magnates had more successful season
and the big college football emerged with stag
Serng surplus The public to have been on pro
longcd vacation denying itself nothing and paying big
prices for entertainment. Figures not available at
present, but when they made public there will be
gasps of surprise.
The boxing game in New York also reaping golden
harvest The fans have lockcd the shows, especially
those staged by Tex Richard in Madison Square Garden
Thus have been staged and the receipts have
toaled more $3.50 600. That's of S43OO
per show which is going some. 1t also is a record.
Way bnck in 1906 Tex Richard promoted the Nelson
Cans lightweight battle in Goldhed and took in S6Tlo
at the gate. This the money ever paid for
lightweight bout until Benny Leonard met Joe yelling
the Garden The receipts sol 900 for this one
sided affair." Next Tuesday night Jack Dempsey and Bill
Brennan will mix for the heavyweight championship.
Few conccdc Brennan chance yet the bout is expected
to draw at least 5000, 600.
There must be plenty of money in the big city for
every thing big For example, take the Willie
jackson Eddie Fzsimmons affair. There title at
stake Just battle between pair of conenders and the
public paid SG2 900 to it, dundee and yelling drew
x5 and Lynch and Sharky in their two appearances
attracted S41 710 S33 600 Lynch and Abe GOdsten,
ordinary dup drew $4,000 the all star welter-
weight card good for S22OOO and the Noble Murray
fuss was last with $40 200 Mike Dowd and Jeff Smith
took in $4,000.
These figures show that the Richard syndicate which
signed Dempsey and Carpenter for SJ0O0oo purse did
not make sucker play. If op sided matches like
Leonard and yelling and Jackson and Fitzsmmons can
draw total of $153 900 and Dempsey and Brennan
ret APPROX maely $500 900, what will the folks in New
York pay REAL scrap? Business certainly is
good these days.
NEXT Tuesdav night the spectators ,oU pay up
~ to S25 to see the heGvytcei0ht struggle. Demp-
ssy is strict frdning aud so is Brennan. Bill
says he is better than before and IS confident
of rctory. You cam blame him for that. No
. matter horc the bout turns out, he toiH tcin. He
receceS $500 for his trouble.

NO CHANGE SEEN
EARLY TODAY IN
Gull LINARY STRIKE
Fasting Houses Pieketed by Strikers;
inclination Seen on Both Sides
to Reach Agreement; TO
Consider Contract.

There was little change this morn
ing in the situation with reference
to the Culinary Workers strike, ex-
cept that there seemed to be an in
inclination by leaders of the union
as well as Of the employers to get
together If an understanding could
be reached
The strikers started yesterday af
ternoon on a picketing program and
this morning a number of cafes and
restaurants found the sidewalks in
front Of their places patrolled by
striker representatives, who wore
sashes bearing lettering to the ef-
feet that this place is unfair to or
ganized labor"
One restaurant man stated that he
had held conference with mem
bers Of the trades council who, he
said, assured him that the places in
question were not unfair to organ
lied labor, due to the fact that the
leaders Of the strike had erred in
their method Of calling the strike.
He stated that it was the idea of
the trades council member that the
proposition of The Culinary Workers
union should have been handled
through the trades council before
calling the places in question un.
fair to organized labor
Union leaders stated this morning
that they were to hold a conference
today with the employers at which
time they would again go over the
contract in question, and it was in
timated that there might be a posi-
bility of both sides giving little
ground and reaching an agreement
One employer this morning made
his position clear as follows: IS
