With the schedule Of the City Bas-
ketball League played off. the beauti-
full silver cup, one of the best ever
offered in the league and emblematic
of the championship of the city, is in
possession Of the Clerks, an aggrega-
ton composed largely Of stars who
formerly attended Cony High.
The team lost but one game in its
schedule and that to the runners-up,
Vickery & Hill. The result of this
game was 2914 and the general belief
at that time was that the Printers
would cop the cup in a handy manner.
However, from this point the Clerks
took a. brace and moved right into the
championship of the league, nosing
out the v. & H aggregation handily in
the second meeting between the two
teams. Gannetts, who had third place
cinched, added to their own laurels
and greatly aided the Clerks by step
ping out and giving the rival print
ing team their second beating of the
season, eliminating them from the
running.
The race this year was better than
usual, the standing showing a tie for
first honors until the season was near
ly over. Poor, McCourtney and Benn
were all former Cony products and
showed we'll in every game in which
they played On the offensive they
We're greatly aided by Overlook
whose accurate eye helped them keep
in the running on more than one occa-
sion. Beals and Harris played on the
defensive most of the time and but
fn tall in f.
ment the opponents might have locat-
ed the basket with more uniform sue
cess, but with Harris playing a rowing
hack and Beals playing his position
they formed combination that was
hard to outplay.
The Clerks, being an Independent
concern and not backed by firm, We're
hard put to it at the start of the sea-
son, but Fred Owen took over the
team, managed it thoroughly and it
was largely through his efforts that
the team was able to enter the league
and stay all the season.
This was the first year that the Y
NJ. c. A. did not compete. In past
years there had been considerable dis
cussion over the Y. NJ. c. A. entering
with the large number available for
the team, and under Coach Mahan it
was decided to keep the Red Trian-
glers on the outside. AS a result COM
petition was much closer and most of
the men eligible for the "Y" hooked
on with other clubs and made the
league real success. Several teams
which had hitherto been out of it en-
tered and made the league interesting
1t is hoped to make the league an
even greater success next year.

First Round of
Colby Interfrat
Track Wednesday
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

Waterville, Me, March 1.-THE
first round of the Colby interfraternity
track meet will be held next wednes-
day afternoon. This is the opening
gun of the spring campaign and upon
the showing made by the men in this
meet Coach Ryan will base his hopes
for team which will score heavily in
the Maine, New England and National
Intercollegiate. Due to the incentive
given by competition for their frater-
nifty. every man in college who has any
ability as track man will be out in
an attempt to score for his house. At
the present time the final resting place
Of the title and also of the fine Druid
cup is not even the subject for specu-
lation as there are at least four teams
out of the nine which will be entered
which are equally good on paper. Del
ia Kappa Epsilon, defending cham
pions, Phi Delta Theta, Alpha Tau
Omega and the Non-Fraternity teams
each has a chance to win, while the
others may surprise. The Dekes have
Seekins, Dexter and Goode as their
threats; the Phi Debts are led by Nit
tlesdorf and will also present Mathers
and McCroary: the A. T. Os have
Brown. Getchell, Baker and Line Mac
Pherson: while the best non-frat men
are Sansone and Brudno. These two
latter runners are the best middle and
long distance mixers in college and
without doubt will be among the high
point scorers. Mittlesdorf and Brown
will also be in the field for high point
honors.
The meet next Wednesday will be
the first of pair of such contests to
be held before Easter vacation. while
the remaining brace of battles will oc-
cur after the recess when the cinder
track will be available. None of the
fraternities will be able to gain
commanding lead during the first
round as the events are divided so
that no fraternity is favored. The
Dekes, however, may be the winners of
the first round as the events seem to
suit their performers better than those
or any other fraternity. The title has
always been in the hands of either the
Dekes, the A. T. O.s or Zeta Psi since
the Inauguration of the tourney in
IS2u. The events to be contested on
Wednesday are as follows: 40-yard
dash, 40-yard hurdles, e0O-yard run,

CALL OFF FIGHT

Miami, Fla. March 11-(AP)-The
match between Gene Tunney and
Young Stribling for Friday night wcs
declared off today.
= Tunney's manager. Billy Gibson,
announced that the match was off,
saying he would not let Tunney take
part because he said the promoters
had been unable to meet their ad
vance obligations by March l, &C
cording to contract, and he saw no
hope of getting the stipulated money.
The bout was to have been ten
round, no-decision affair between tho
Two contenders for the heavyweight
title and Stribling was to have re-
ceived $4,000 and Tunney $4,000.
Jess Baugh, promoter, had promis-
cd each manager $1,000 on signing
and $4,000 on March 1, and the re-
mainder of the purses was to have
been paid today, but Baugh had no
money when the managers visited
him today. Gibson promptly refused
to let Tunney fight and PA" Strib-
ling, father of the Georgia lad, is UNI
derstood to have agreed to calling of
the bout.
The promoter and local hackers had
failed to get the Coral Gables Stadi-
UNI and had to build one at cost of
about $4,000. Miami business men
who had tried all yesterday and last
night to raise the money, said the
advance sale for seats had gone TO
pay for the stadium. Hundreds had
bought tickets at prices from $3.50 to
$3.50. Miami men said the promo
ter had tried to stage the fight with
a financial backing Of only about
$4,000.
1.-THE whole affair has been so
wretchedly managed that don't care
to have anything more to do with II"
Gibson said. what it amounts to is
that the two fighters will be left to

stadium and have nothing left after

possibly have to pay for the privilege
of fighting"
