PENN DEFEATS
 CHICAGO FIVE
 SERIES IS EVEN

Philadelphia, March 26-Penn, be- fore capacity crowd of 2,50O, some of whom paid as high as $6 and $7 seat, beat the University of Chicago in the second game of the Intersec- tional series for the American colle- giate basketball championship in Weightman Hall last night by a score of 29 to IS.
 Chicago put the skids under the Red and Blue in the Windy City last Monday night, and now the East and West will grapple in the Tigers gym tonight. Tickets were gobbled up like diamonds as soon as the game was over and chances are that more than a thousand Penn men will in wade Jungletown.
 Not until the second half did Penn clinch it's victory last night. All sea- son the Red and Blue has been a typ ical second half team and when Coach Pages side came from behind, 10 to 4, in the last two minutes of the first half and tied the score at 10 points, it threw great scare into the Penn following. not with those who have studied the Quakers' system all year.
 Outscoring the Westerners, 19 to 8, in the final 20 minutes of play showed the real superiority of the Penn passers. In field goals Penn also had the Blue. getting to 5 i1 the 40 nninutes of seething play.

JIMMY BvRNS OF THIS CITY GETS
 LOTS Of PRAISE

Jimmy Burns, a boxer who lives in this city, is given the following praise in the New York Globe:
 Can Jimmy Burns, Mamie Sea- mons little Bridgeporter. overcome the "jinx"--the psychological handicap imposed upon him by the stamp of Q, champions approval?? For Jimmy has been officially indorsed by Benny Leonard, the premier lightweight of the universe.
 The complete list of present and former greats of the prize ring who fizzled miserably in picking potential champions is too lengthy and voluani- nous to permit enumerating. Gentle- man Jim Corbett, one of the cleverest heavyweights that ever donned the upholstered nnitts, is perhaps the most shining ( ) example of them all. Jim never did pick a winner Instances where some particular celebrity of the ring---either of bygone moments or of current edition---succeeded in aiding any aspiring mittnan in attaining the heights he himself scaled are exceed 1 ingly rare. The aspiring mittman in question usually hit the greased tobog- gan the second he was officially in- dorsed by the champion.
 l But then, in boxing, as in all lines of business and other sporting en- | deavors an exception is necessary to prove the rule. And the exception to this rule appears to have been offered \ in behalf of Jimmy Burns by Benny Leonard.
 l It isn't often that Benny permits | himself to pass judgment on any youngster. In fact, we cannot recall when Benny ever did stamp his ap- proval on any particular chap in the past. But the lightweight champion isn't afflicted in the slightest with re- | calcttrancy in letting his opinion of Burns become public. Benny evi- dently believes that Burns can over come the handicap of a champions O. K
 "A great little fighter warbled Benny enthusiastically when he was quizzed regarding Burns several weeks ago. Needs a lot of schooling, of course, and isn't prepared to meet the best in his class as yet, but he has the | 'nakings' of a champion. And with Mamie Seanon at the helm I cannot see where Jimmy can fail to event uafly steer his course into the most select GStic channels. He is young, ambitious, and endowed with all the
 necessary requisites of a possible title
 holder. He is fast, clever, hits well
 with both hands, and uses his head.
 "An he needs is experience, and
 once he acquires that particularly vital
 essential I am sure he will hit the
 highest peaks in the bantam range. Il
 And to lend sincerity to his warb-

PITTSFIELD TO TRY ADAMS ON
 IST THIS YEAR

Pittsield, of the Eastern League has signed Warren Adams, a first baseman, who was with Hartford last season. Adams is known as a good fielder, but a weak hitter. He was owned by Brooklyn but was farmed out to Hartford. Adams is fast and if he ever learns to hit will land a job in the majors.
 Manager Dan How1ey of Hartford, has signed Nal Barry to play first so Adams was not needed this season. Barry is a veteran who was with Milwaukee in the American Associa- ton last season.

THIS IS TRUE INs
 ALL LEAGUE TOWNS

Would it not be grand thing for baseball if the home club could win the opening game? Hoy the home fans would gladly receive such an act The owner and the manager, in particular, would be tickled near to death. for would not the patron go home feeling tht his club was aw inner and bound to nave a successful season? A mirage for certain would be in front of him. for you know many ball clubs are judged by their early acts And conversely, a defeat causes the fan, not all of them, but the bird who is first afternooner, to look wearied and say, "the end book for that club.'
