In the Landcrs game Bueherri and Luke played q great forward game. with the latter tossing in five from the floor and Bucherri three. In the second half the Landers team dropped in six field goals and foul while their opponents caGed four field goals and foul. Swanson was easily the star of tho game. Ills shooting was uncanny last night and he heaved them in from a dis tance just as easily as from under the basket. His floor work too, was of the highest order and he cluded his guards with apparent case. SaXe and Merclli played 8 tight guarding game when guarding was necessary
 Swanson was his teams high SCOT CT. with five field goals. Landers had ten free tries and scored only two. Russell and Erwin had l6 free shots and made good on only one, There were f personal fouls called on Landers and eight on Russell and Erwin.

 Fafnir had been picked 10 give the P. and r. boys a tough battle and for the first five minutes they did Then, however, the Corbinites un- corked a great little passing game and literally stood their opponents on their heads, Fafnir seemed con- tent to confine it's energies to guard ing and later. when points were wanted, they simply tossed the ball here and there and wonder. Fafnir lacked coordinated team Tork whereas Corbin excelled in this de- partment and therein lies their over whclming victory.
 The first half ended IS 10 10 with Corbin leading and the final score was 45 to oe, so it is obvious that Corbin was at all times superior. Schultz, playing easily the best game of his Dusty league career, was the ace of the evening getting five corking good field goals Hoist at center, played whale of a game too, and he got six baskets but he has been more of scorer all season than has Schultz so his scoring work was more expected. Hoist and Cher kowslii gave brilliant centers' duel. with the Corbin boy having the edge on him, although by various tricks of the basketballer he succeeded in getting away" with a number of plays that were not detected by the referee.

FISHERMEN GATHER
 FOR YEARLY FEAST
Celebrate Festival Of Patron
 Saint Of HaVre

Le IIavre, March 20.-Every year, before the Havre fishermen sail off in their boats to the distant Newfoundland banks, they gather together at Havre to celebrate the feast of their patron saint, St. Peter. This year the presence of the Archbishop of Rouen lent unusual interest to the ceremony. The whole town turned out, and the church of St. Etienne was covered with flags and bunting and glttered with lights. The sailors filed reverently up the aLsIes, accompanied by their women folk, and the whole congre- gation, in picturesque Normandy attire, sang hymns and prayed for those who go down to the sea In ships. As part of the ceremony a bluff old master seaman, who had weathered many storm, came to the rail of the choir and made an address in the rough, poetic lan- guage of the seafarers. to which the archbishop replied.
 All the fishing fleet in the docks was gay with flags, their crews gathered together for the blessing of the ships by the archbishop. After the religious ceremony bands played the Marseillaise, the sailors cheered, and the 1925 Newfound- land Banks fishing season was de- clared open.

HORSES ID RUN IN
 LOGO MILE RACE.
Would Determine Strength Of
 Native Argentine Animal

Buenos Aires, March 9O.--A horse race Of 1000 miles has been organized here to determine the vexed question of whether the na. tive Argentine horse, or crlollo. has a superior in stamina. The pampas bred animals resistance to fatigue has become proverbial. and many remarkable feats of endurance ac- complished by horses Of this breed are on record. Nevertheless, in a series of 12-hour races run over the Palermo racetrack last year, the winners usually turned out to be horses possessing one or more crosses Of foreign thoroughbred blood. In covering, roughly. 12O miles in 12 hours, these horses un- doubtedly displayed extraordinary stamina and, although the admirers of the criollo are the first to admit the fact, they contend that the trial was not severe enough to test the endurance of their favorites.
 Dr. Emilio Solanet breeder of criollo horses, has issued chal- lenge to run two animals of that breed against two horses of any other pure blood whatever, over Q distance of 1000 miles, the com petitors to carry weight equal to that of cavalry soldier with his equipment. His challenge has been taken up by Agustin de Ella, who will run two thoroughbred horses descended from the English racer Bonnie Dundee, which was import ed by Senor de Elias grandfather more than 70 years ago. The race will take place in April.

CANNONBALL MARTIN

Defends Title Tonight For First Time Since He Won It From
 Abe Goldstein Last Year

New York, March 2O.-Eddie (CannonbalD Martin of Brooklyn, will defend his worlds bantam weight title tonight for the first time since he won it from Abe Gold stein of New York in Madison Square Garden late last year.
 Charlie (PhiD Rosenberg of this city will be his opponent in ff- teen round battle and to the win ner will go an opportunity to ap- pear in one of the seasons first out door cards at one of the large New York stadiums.
 Both men have assured officials that they will be down to the 11S- pound limit when they weigh in this afternoon. From all reports they have trained hard and the cham pion is anticipating a rugged battle. Martins style is aggressive, a methodical boring in with both hands flying. He won his title from Goldstein by an unrelenting attack which kept the former champion defending himself and prevented the use of a left jab and straight right for which Goldstein is famous.
 Critics said that Goldstein, ordi- narily an attacker, was not him. self when the title changed hands and they predict that Rosenberg will show that he has learned the lesson taught by Goldstein's unex- pected defeat. The bantam crown has changed heads many times. champions retaining it on an aver age of year and a half.

MARQUIS CURzON
 DIES IN LONDON
Death Not Likely to Have
 Marked Political Effect
By The Associated Press.

London, March 2O.-Death today claimed the Marquis Curzon of Ked- leston, lord president of the coun- cil and former foreign secretary. The end came at 5:35 o'clock this morn ing after fight against pneumonia which developed following his oper- ation of two weeks ago.
 The marquis was 66 years of age. The first intimation of the break in his health came on March 5 when he collapsed while dressing for 6 public dinner at Cambridge at , which he was to have delivered a speech. The collapse was marked by faintness and nasal hemorrhage. An operation was performed four days later in London, but the nature of the trouble was not given out. The regular medical bulletins regarding his condition also failed to name the malady, but "bladder trouble" was generally given as the cause of his collapse.
 No Political Effect Marquis CurZon's death is not likely to have any marked effect politically, for, while his advice as lord president of the council was welcomed in cabinet discussions, he no longer held the commanding po- sition in British politics which was his as foreign secretary during the latter years of the coalition govern ment, in Bonar Laws ministry and Stanley Baldwin's first cabinet.
 Almost to the end, however, his influence was felt in the Baldwin government, and it is said that it was his counsel which prevailed when the matter of the German se- Curity proposals came up recently and the cabinet finally decided to delay their consideration until For cign Secretary Chamberlain con versed with the allied diplomats at Geneva and Paris.
 While the matter of the successor to MarQuist Curzon as lord presi- dent of the council and leader in the house of lords naturally is held in abeyance for the present, it IS considered likely in well informed circles that Lord Birkenhead will be chosen for both positions, although Viscount Cecil of Chelwood is also mentioned in connection with the former post.
 Married An American
 Nashville, Tenn, March 20.-Mrs. Grace EIvina Kinds Duggan, second wife of Marquis Curzon, who died in London today, was born at Dcca- tur, Ala, and was we'll known here. She was the daughter of J. Monroe Hinds, long a prominent republican of Alabama, who was United States marshal and later minister to Brazil. It was in South America that she met Lord Curzon.
