CHAT

Just how the Maine teams will
stand up under the expense of main
tanning clubs in the New England is
an interesting subject for discussion.
The cities in the league of course are
planning on getting a lot of outside
fans and this they will undoubtedly
do. However the expense of organ
lied ball eats big hole in the gate
receipts.
Moreover, the college players who
formerly were the bulk and bulwark
of the New England semi pro clubs
will not be able to play in organized
ball and the managers will be forced
to look elsewhere for their material.
Organized ball, with regular sched-
ule and complete Circuit will at
tract many fans who failed to en-
thuse over the unorganized variety
of the national pastime, but whether
or not they will come in crowds large
enough to offset the difference in the
expense of the two is another ques-
ton. II the league becomes a fix
ture it will be one of the best sport
helps Maine has had for some time.
Not even murmur has been heard
II oAi onA Ildi tiilS year DIS yet.
However, it is probable that the Re-
sorters will put on club of some
kind with Ben Houser at the helm.
The Seasiders have the backing
financially and will probably play
even If they have to import out Of
town opposition.
Brewer. long the hotbed of semi pro
, ball in Maine, will probably pass out
, of the picture and the game will die
natural death in that section. For
the past few years dissension has
been prominent in the club which
was held together more or less by
the easy going Gil Whitehouse and
several others.
Old Town may stay in the game
simply for the love of it. The Old
: Towners have in the past supported
their club to the last ditch and may
stick it out with the harder ones.
Whoever stays in the western part
| of the state seems all set with two
New England League teams within
cash reach of all.

North Carolina won in 1922. 1924
and 1925. The Mississippians were
Sitleholders in 1923.
North Carolina went into the finals
last night by defeating the University
Of Mississippi in q featureless contest,
IS TO 20. The Aggies, upsetting pre-
diCtlons all the way through the pre-
liminary rounds, removed the last OBJ
stacle to the finals by beating the
favorite, University Of Kentucky, last
night, 81 to 20.
1t was a long, hard road to the
finals for the Aggies. They first sur
prised basket ball followers on Fri
day when they sent the strong Mary
land quint down, % to 10. On Sat
urday, in the thriller Of the tourna-
ment, the Mississippians took two
extra periods to eliminate North Caro-
lima State 80 to 30. Never winning
10y large margins, the Aggies played
consistently, and used an effective de-
. Tense TO hold down their opponents
Ecoring.
North Carolina won more handily,
though Virginia gave them a scare
on Saturday, when, coming from away
behind, the Cavaliers forged rapidly
within two points of the Tarheels and
forced them to pass the ball about in
midcourt glad to take a 25-to-23 vic
tory when the gun sounded.
In the first contest Of the tourney,
however, North Carolina ran away
with Clemson, 81 to 81.
capt. Dodderer, tall North Carolina
forward and the two Tarheel guards,
Hackney and Devin, will bear the
Drunt of the attack tonight from
cred" Kicks, Bryant and Stone of
che Aggies. Kicks, the star Of the
first contest. has been a most con-
sistent player while Stone and Bry-
ant have proved excellent sharpshoot-
ers.
The battle tonight viii be between
rival long distance goal finders and
two capable defense formations. Both
ruiuts have demonstrated their capa-
bility to elude powerful defensives
end to make brilliant flashes to the
goal. While the sports writer's favor
North Carolina, the followers of the
Aggies have pointed out that the Mis-
Eissippians fight best with their backs

When Blocking Dribble From BreaI,

1t is the easiest thing in the world
to foul a player In front of you who is
dribbling. Few know how to break
up such a dribble without fouling.
Only a few college players have
learned this stunt.
The right way is pictured in the up
per illustration. Note how the player
reaching around the man with the ball
is striking the ball TO avoid interfer-
ing with this opponent. His fingers
are pointed down so there can be no
question as to what he is doing.
The player in the lower Illustration
is striking with q fiat hand, and as Is
usual, he is striking the arm of his
opponent instead of the ball. That is
ooor baket ball. Play this play right.

BY BAN JOHNSON,

President of the American League
A SIX a dozen stars of base ball
II to tell you of their beginning
\ and Z of the dozen will tell
YOU they had an old piece of wood
for a bat and a homemade ball OF
wound warn to start with. | played
base bali and that's what I had. Eel
lows like Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson,
Eddie Collins, Bucky Harris, Babe
Ruth, George ,Sisler, Iris Speaker
and hundred others could name
started that way, too.
I know, because I have often DIS
cussed with these fellows their start
in base ball. It's my business TO DC
inouisitive, because l was once q
SPORTS writer and learned to flnd out
things about famous people.
Nowadays the makers or athletic
equipment have brought the bat ana
ball and glove within reach ol tIe
bows who. generally speaking, have
more money to spend than did the
boys Of my time. There also are bet
ter diamands, though not enough.
But where there is will there's
way, and if you boys want TO play
you'll always find a back lot some
where. 1t may comfort you to know
that all of your heroes started like
that. Perhaps If you show enough
interest In the matter the authorities
of your city will help you to get more
and better diamonds.
Sometimes, though. when ! sit In
the handsome base bal parks and see
perfectly equipped base ball stars
playing almost perfect base ball |
dream of the days of my boyhood and
sort of wish I could be back there, or
at least be watching such game.
