Both men fought gamely and
scientifically. There was no ques-
tioning Erne's sience. He was master
of his art tonight. Lavigne stayed the
twenty rounds but was outpointed,
outpunished and all but put out. The
marvellous recuperative powers of the
Saginaw boy were again manifested.
Although Erne had him dazed, COW
cred with blood and almost helpless in
the ninsh, he revived, fought away
from his conqueror and kept his feet
to the end
When they faced each other in the
twentieth round they shook hands
gingerly and Lavigne tried a left for

came back Immediately with right
and left on the face, Lavigne's coun-
tenance at this time was anything
but prepossessing, both eyes being
closed Right and left blows to the
body brought Lavigne's guard down
and then Erne smashed his right to
the neck and hooked his right to the
face without return.

his opponent as If he were only be-
ginning the fight. Erne was relent-
less, however, and forced the pace,
fghting his man as IL his life de-
pended upon the result. Lavigne never
weakened and took his punishment
like a stole, but 1t was all day with
him. Though beaten to a standstill
he returned to his corner, having lost
his championship but none OF his
many friends and admirers.

TWENTY-SECOND
IN SERIES

This is the twenty-second of
a series of "Old-Time Fights"
written by authorities on pu-
gilism who were famous in
their day. Others will follow.
This story tells Of the night
in Buffalo when Frank Erne
won the lightweight crown
from George kid Lavigne-
Erne was a master of science
and skill and administered a
severe beating to the former
champion. In several rounds
Erne had Lavigne almost help
less, but the latter's marvellous
powers of recuperation saved
him from being knocked out.
He lasted the twenty rounds.
When "Honest John" Kelly
proclaimed Erne the conqueror
there was no question of the
verdict. The fight was staked

Wholesale criticisms directed at the
laxity all along the line in officiating

the necessity Of such an. organization
TO not only safeguard the game here,
but to put 1t on the same basis as In
other cities.
Tonight at the Y. NJ. C. A. prac-
tically all OF the prominent basket
ball men in the District, who have
been officiating in college. school ant
independent games will get into the
organization which is to be formed
for the purpose OF standardizing the

AFFECTS COACHING.
This in turn is expected to have a
wholesome effect upon the coaching
and playing. In turn these measures
are expected to bear productive fruit
in educating the basketball public to
what is real basketball. and what
used to be considered basketball.
Much has been written and said of
basketball in the District. At the risk
of being called "reformers" and blue
law" advocates. the officials are band
ing together to make basketball a
real feature of the indoor season here
Visiting teams this season have
complained more OF the methods of
the home players than the officials
At no time in the history of basket
ball has the sport assumed the pro-
portions of the present winter. There
are more colleges, high and prep and
independent teams playing than ever
before. The move made by the Of
fctals is expected to prove popular in
time.

athletics is to teach the athletes self

"If officials would point the finger

whole lot.
Basketball in Washington has at

Shell From U. S--AustraIia
To Send Crew..

The statement repeatedly has been
made that the rowing season OF 1921
will be the greatest ever. this con-
clusion being drawn from the fact
that colleges throughout the country
as well as athletic clubs have ar
ranged schedules that Will keep the
oarsmen busy for several months.
The truest indication of busy row
ing year is gained by the demands
made on the manufacturers OF shells
in which the college and club oars
men race.
Up In New England-in Cambridge.
to be exact-at the II. Davy Son
shops, workmen are spending hours
of overtime preparing shells for the
seasons activities.
A few days ago the head of the frm
announced that not in the many years
of the firms existence have the men
been kept so busy turning out shells
as since last September. The Arm
Is the only one in the United States
engaged in the making of racing
shells and the demand this year is far
greater than can be supplied In time
for the racing season.

the firm was informed that in the
event California's crew wins the an

and its crew will be sent East to COM
pete in the intercollegiate regatta on
the Hudson at Poughkeepsie.
An indication of the activity at the
Duluth Boat Club, one of the leading
rowing organizations in the country,
is the fact that six shells have been
ordered for delivery before March l..
The Portland Boat Club, Of Oregon,
has three shells in the making, and
in addition the firm of Davy & Son
has received orders for racing shells
from a large number of private
schools, especially from New Eng

CUBA MAY SEND CREW.
The biggest surprise came to the
firm a few days ago when an order
was received from the Dependencies
Boat Club of Havana. the leading
rowing club Of Cuba, asking for two
shells. With the order came word
that the Cubans are going in strong
ly for rowing, just as they are for
all other American college sports.
Most of the members OF the Deepen
dienties Club are former students OF
American. colleges. The club officials
declare they may enter an eight in
one of the biggest American regattas,
possibly the American Henley. II the

Opposing O'Neill will be found
Frank O'Rourke and Bob LaMotte.
the former a veteran of the Interna-
tional League with at least one trial
in Brooklyn, the latter a mere boy
with less than one seasons exper-
ience in organized baseball and that
with Tampa in the Florida State
League. ORourke may have troubles
with his throwing arm. LaMotte
shapes up as rather too light to hit
major lague pitching. But the fight
for George McBride's old job will be
waged fiercely among this trio of
athletes
If Frank Baker is with the Griffs
he will be the thirdsacker. No COM
petition will count for much, though
Manager Mcbride will try out at least
one youngster, knowing that Baker
cannot go on forever. If Baker is
not with the Washington club, there
will ensue a hot scramble for the
job.
sHANKs HAS AN EDGE.
In such a scramble Hank Shanks
has an edge because of experience in
the American League. Hank Is
gamester. He is a willing player. He
always has his head UP. These char
acteristics have made him one OF the
favorites with the Washington fans.
An outfie,der originally, and mar
velous one, too, Shanks has become
very fair innelder simply because
necessity demanded that he try his
luck and he had the nerve to go
through with it. At the same time, IL
Shanks is the best third baseman at
Tampa, President Griffith will have
to find a better man il he would have
n really strong infield.
There is a newcomer, Foss, OF the
Tampa club. who will be after that
Job at the hot corner Nothing is
known here as to this youngsters
class. Scout Joe Engel looked him
over last summer at Tampa and
thought him worth q trial. He is
said to have a fine arm. plenty of
speed on the hoof and fair batting
ability. However. all this may be
true OF Foss as Florida State
Lacquer without meaning anything at
all in this circuit. Foss will have to
prove his caliber to remain with the
team.
Then, this Bob LaMotte may also
receive a trial at the farther corner

having rather crush on this young
man as a coming star in the John
sonian circuit.

Brewer this season. 1t is possible
that he may be given a trial at third
base, providing Baker fails to land
with the Grirrmen. However. Brewer

correct lines for third baseman.
