 Leading Scorer

New York. March 17.--For the first time in d decade. the intercollegiate basketball championship flag today flies over the Cornell campus.
 By virtue Of its Saturday night 30 to 20 victory over the Princeton Tig- CTS. the Ithacans came into possession of this years championship pennant. It is their first since 1914. Cornell closed the season with eight victories and two defeats, the losses having been inflicted by Yale and Columbia.
 Cornell's last victory left the Tigers hanging in the balance between sec ond and third places. A victory for Princeton over Dartmouth at New Haven next Tuesday would give the Tigers a second place tie with Colum- bia, while defeat would leave them tied with Dartmouth for third place.
 One more contest remains before the records are slowed away. This is next Tuesdays Princeton Dartmouth game.

FALCONS WIN FINAL
 CITY LEAGUE BATTLE
Defeat MoIlawks By single Point, After Trailing Behind at
 Half Time.

In the last scheduled city league game, played at the armory Saturday night, the Falcons basketball team de- feated the Mohawks 26 and 20 in a game that was close, but not very fast Both teams were wocfully weak in shooting.
 The game started slow and for fNe minutes it was just race from one basket to the other, with none or the boys finding the loop. Finally, after six and onc-half minutes of play Si- kora dropped in a double decker Tor the Mohawks. and a minute later Grace dropped in another. Then Klatka got the range for his team and from then on it was see.sIw affair. At half time the Falcons were trailing by the score of II to IF. During the first half the usual ilashy Jasper Of the Falcons had been held scoreless. and in the second period two from the floor and Il foul were his best contributions.

GOOD HEAD BETTER
 THAN A GOOD ARM
Of Two, Pitcher Must Have
 Former for Success

A great arm does not necessarily assure success as major league pitch CT.
 True, a world of stuff is worth while asset, yet a normal head is perhaps more essential. The recruits who show great speed and a fast breaking cure in spring training are often missing when the major league race begins.
 On the other hand, some rookie pitcher who didn't have as much stuff, is retained for development. The req the top-piece.
 Many a great pitching arm fails to deliver because there is no brain to guide it.
 A million dollar arm and ten-cent head.
 That is baseball adase that dates back almost to the inception of the game.
 It tersely tells why some pitchers who look great in spring training fail to deliver in actual competition.
 Many recruit looks good when warming up, with no runners on the bases or no batsman to take liberties with his offerings.
 Put to the test in game, the speed and curves of spring training avail him nothing. if he is unable to get the ball over, fails 10 watch his baserun- ners and falters in the pinch.
 Never was good pitching more es- sential to put over winner than with the present lively ball in use.
 This fact was made evident to Man ager John McGraw of the Giants after the 1928 world series. His pitching failed him.
 If he was to win his fourth con- secutive pennant he realized that he must bolster up his pitching staff.
 Hardly had the series closed before he began to make purchases right and left Of every minor league pitching star who seemed 10 have a chance To make the grade in the big show.
 The manager of the Giants spent close to s20O,000 for four rookie pitchers, Ernest Maun, Howard Baldwin, Wayland Dean and Joe Bradshaw.

NEWARK CLUB NOT
 SLATED FOR N. B.
Neither Will Meriden Get lt--NeW
 Haven Man

"All a lotta bunk" is the way scv- eral well known sportsmen in this city today described vague rumors that the Newark Internatiouals might bring their franchise 10 this city. New Britain not only has no suitable play ing fled. but also. past experiences have shown. have not enough baseball fans who can spare the time and the shekels to support an outfit
 New Haven Possibility
 From Meriden comes the following item, relative to the Newark fran chise dispute:
 Meriden, March r. The present dispute between the new owners Of the Newark club Of the International league may reach into Connecticut and have it's effect locally, il was learned last night. It has been re ported from reliable authority that George Weiss, owner Of the New Haven club of the Eastern league, seeks to displace Michael McTighe Of the Newark club and put an 1nterna- tional league franchise in the Elm City.
 No Good Field
 In case this is done the Eastern will be forced to look around for Il place to locate the Profs. New Britain has been mentioned as q probable place. but the Hardware City is in the same fix as Newark. They have no suitable field in New Britain and representa- tives of the Ints, reported sent to the state by John Conway Toole, president of that league, were not favorably impressed with the possibilities of To- eating a club there.
 Meriden has been suggested by in terested persons, who giving out this information, requested their names withheld for the present,
 The city has Hanover park at pres ent available and could be put in con- dition as to the grandstand and if no transfer is made the mystery men" would bid for local club, believing that professional baseball could be made ''go" Of in the city. Continu- ing their idea the games would be played at 5:3O o'clock week-days with the exception Of Saturday when they would start at the usual ledSuc llhlP.
 There is also another important fac tor Sunday baseball has been per mitted in Meriden and if New Haven takes a berth in the International league the Eastern club will have to he transferred to some city where Sunday baseball is permitted.
 Something more definite may he learned at the end of the week, the news coming Of course from New Haven where George Weiss holds forth. Al the present time the mat ter all depends on what tho lnt"rna- tional league win do. Montreal and Providence have also been seeking I place in this league and the Newark club may be transferred there instead of to New England into the the East erns league territory.
