Although they lost three titles by a hair. the South church basketball ttamA have just concluded their best season In recent years. The first team won 1i games out of 2S for an average Of ,5G6 and the Re- serves battered all opposition aside 10 win l4 out Of 17 contests for an average Of .S2%, giving the church combined percentage Of .G7S, with 27 wins and 12 losses. After the closing of their regular season, the two teams engaged each other in a final match and the Reserves sprang coup by taking the struggle from their heavier fellows.
 The Regulars
 The first team started with full quota of veterans from the previ- ous year and, after being nosed out by the National Guard Reserves, won six in row and appeared set for q ecord-breaking year. At this stage Captain Adams, Havlick, and Eiduff were forced to leave the team because they were members Of The high school squad. Several new men were secured. but the advan- age of the early intensive practice vas lost and the team was never the same, even when the high school men were able to return for few games
 Entered in the Inter-Church league, the South church finished fin second place with five wins and threa defeats, beipg nosed out twice by the champion Lutherans. With the end of the high school season, the team regained It's full power and entered the county Y. NJ. C. A. elimination tournament. This forced 1t to play five games in one week und it won the first four, but again it was doomed 10 runner-up posi- ton and lost the title to Mapping in a final games which went over time. This strenuous week burned the team out and 1t went stale, showing poor teamwork and no fighting spirit in it's remaining games.
 The team scored 741 points against 5j4 for it's opponents, mak- ing 329 field goals compared with a4S and sinking S3 out of ec3 free shots to its opponents GO out of 201. The team played very clean basket hall and committed only lj1 per sonals, while 1S4 were made against it.
 Captain Joel "Lanky" Adams was the leading scorer with 207 points, leading his mates in shooting from both floor and frec-throW strip. He had margin Of almost 50 points on h,s nearest competitor.

(BY ART CARLSON

Any number of startling surprises were furnished during tho winter sport season. Some of them are still being talked about. And doubt less will be for an indefinite period.
 A few titles changed hands while the bombardment was in progress; several comparatively nnknowns leaped into the twinkling class, and quite bunch of new marks were hung up.
 In track and field Charley Hoff, the nimble Morse boy, of course, commanded most attention, IIoff not only shattered all previous records for indoor vaulting but took the measure of Osborne and Norton in the al-roumd test at Madison Square Garden. Hoff was the Nurni of the 1926 season. SchWarZe Breaks Record In the national A. A. U. get together at Chicago, Herbie Sch warze of Wisconsin tossed the 16- pound shot 50 feet 712 inches for a new worlds indoor mark. More over, his effort was just a few inches shy of the outdoor figure established hy the late Ralph Rose in 1909. Schwarze competed unattached, be- ing on the Badger ineligibility list. Henry Russell, Cornell captains and "220" intercollegiate champion, created q new worlds record in the Michigan meet by running 5 yards in 2-5 seconds. The former mark was "7-3" and was held jointly by Cary, Wefers, Hahn, Drew and Meyer.
 In inc annual A. A. |. relays at Los Angeles, Lee Barnes, Southern California star and Olympic pole vault prince. hung up new col legiote mark by clearing 13 feet 5 1-i inches.
 Erich Haecnlacher, German gent, rather upset the billiard fraternity py whipping Jake Schacfor for the 1S.2 title. Hagcnlacher was the second foreign cucist 10 gain the honor in three months. Horemans, the Belgian, having doteated Schaef- CT last November only to have Jake win the crown back in a return match.
 On the pugilisto threshold Of fame stepped Johnny Risko, Cleve- 1 land heavyweight, and onetime baker boy. Risllo, a.s you know, trimmed Paul BcrIcnbath, light heavy wreath-Wcarcr. Risko, in fact, not only beat the Paralyzer. but just missed repeating the De- , laney knockout act.
 i Risko. with but three years pro- GrSsional experience behind him. had bccn figured fairly soft for the Berly one. But the figuring was far { from accurate.
 In tennis, the sterling French duo, Jean Boro'ra and Rene Lacoste, gave Tilden and Richards more than lhcy CoulI take in Inc indoor cham pionships. And for tho second successive season Fronchman cartcd home the single title.
 Beats GlCnna CoIlctt
 Little Virginia Van Vic was easily the outstanding woman golfer of tho winter ramb!e, A comparative. ly unknown tshc ma I- her debut in competitive golf last summcrl, this 17-ycar-old Chicago lass sent Glenna Collett. national qucan, to

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 Rain has scored one more victory over many of the homeward bound big league baseball teams but tho most recent unsettled weather has not dampened the spirits of the players.
 The club owners and members are looking forward to the most prom ising seasons in years and their enthusiasm was expressed yesterday by baseball's master mind" John McGraw, manager Of the New York Giants. IL was the veteran leaders nfty-third birthday anniversary.
 He predicted the 1926 world series would be played by his team and the Washington Senators, who de- feated the Giants in the 1924 classic In predicting success for the Mats in the. junior circuit this year, McGraw did not overlook the Philadelphia Athletics whom he chased as not quite as smart" as the Washington club.
 The New York boss forecast an era of baseball prosperity which will soon bring stadia seating at least 100000 fans in every major league city.
 Jennings Birthday
 Today is the birth anniversary Of Hughie Jennings, for many years prominent figure in baseball He Is now ill at Asheville, N, C., and the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers, unable 10 play there yes- terday because of rain, paid him q visit. McGraw will call on Jennings today.
 The Giants and Senators. rained out yesterday at Augusta, Ga, will resume their series today at At lanta.
 Deiroit's Tigers, who again de- feated Birmingham yesterday, in- vaded Nashville today for a two- game stand. Harry Heilmann, out fielder who has been ill, will join the squad Saturday. The St. Louis Browns, the other team 10 get into action yesterday when they beat Nashville, start a series with Mem phis today. Williams, heavy hitting Brown, pounded out homer yester- day.
 Protest Title Claim.
 The Philadelphia Nationals have taken exception to the Athletics claim of the city championship. as- sorting e.mes won in Florida have no bearing. Threatening weather caused postponement of yesterdays contest but the series will be resum- cd today.
 Bostons two teams meet each other today at Boston. Ehmke and Zahniser are to hurl for the Red SoX and Gencwich for the Braves. Ac- quisition of Shortstop Rigney from Detroit is expected 10 greatly strengthen the junior leaguers.
 Aldridge is slated to pitch the opening game for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the St. Louis Cardi- nals Tuesday. The Cardinal hurling staff as a whole is ready for the race. Donohue will probably get the mound call for the Cincinnati Reds opening game.
