These and few added attrac-1
lions. including a preliminary game
In which the Yankees will oppose
one OF the local clubs, win get
under way at I o'clock to entertain
the court devotees who are expected
to flock up Fourteenth Street.
students OF Catholic University
and members OF the Mohawk Club
are preparing to extend a welcom-
who Is making his first appearance
here. Both owe much to the Fight
ing freshman. Lynch is going good
with the powerful Detroit five.
When at Broolxland he was rated
as one OF the best players in the
inter collegiate ranks. After he left
there he joined the Palace five.
This Is his first year at Detroit
where he Is Known as Pat" Lynch.
Reports from Detroit state that
Lynch Is crOwding Title Vess for
the spotlight this season. This
sDealfs well for the popular Ed.
eIia a. VOss is the idol 81 the
Detroit basketball fans. VOgs
was 4 member of the RayPs
club OF Detroit, which captured
two State championships In pro
fessiOnal basketball. For several
years he was q teammate Of
Homer StOnebraler with the Fort
Wayne knights Of Columbus.
Baaketban supporters are all
perked up over the announcement
that a cage is to be erected. It
win be a new wrinkle in the court
sport in the District. TO the Pal
ace players 1t means getting back
home = Every player on the Wash
ington roster has played for years
up North In steel, wire and net
cages. They know every angle Of
the game on an enclosed court.
1t is expected that the local club
will be unbeatable in the net.
While some OF the other teams have
men in the lineup who have per
formed in the cage. not one can
boast Of an entire team OF expert
enced performers at this style Of
play. 1t should be an asset to
Washington in its chase after the
league leaders in the first half
championship.
Since leaving here last Monday
night Manager Lou Sugerman and
his men dropped from first to third
place In the pennant struggle
though they lost but one game.
First they toppled from the lead
when they hit that rough spot at
Cleveland last Tuesday night In
losing by a 24-to-29 count.
TT. This game az Cso y S the way drew
land municipal han. Cleveland
papers said it was the greatest
exhibition Of basketball ever wit
messed In the Fifth City. The
score was tie ten times before
Cleveland finally won out in the
ebbing moments OF the thriller.
After Cleveland beat washington,
Chicago comes along and pulls a
big surprise by defeating Garry
Schmeelk's, Brooklyn crowd last
night in the Windy City. Chicago
was not given a high rating by the
basketball sharps around the wheel,
but the club has fooled the smart
boys by winning four out Of five
starts. This shows that anything
can happen in the league.
Every club on the circuit has
lost one or more games at home.
This is a slap at the theory that
home club has a 1O-point advantage
in basketball. Maybe so, but It is
not being borne out in this mans
organization.
CHICAGO, Jan. THE Bruins
climbed into second. place in the
hectic race for the championship
Of the American Basketball League
by defeating Garry Schmeelk's
Brooklyn Arcadians here last night,
81 to 16, before some $500 fans
who howled and yelled at the un.
expected triumph of the home five.
The Arcadians went away from
the mark in rapid fire fashion and
soon were leading, to O. Then
the Bruins came to life and, shoot
ing accurately. were leading, IL TO
9, when the first half ended.
The second half saw the Bruins
maintain their lead, with Camp |
bells free tossing counting heavily.
