Brockton Double Header
A large crowd saw the Brockton
double header last Thursday even
ing. The girls second team gave
the Brockton girls a tough battle
for the first half. However,
Brockton was gradually wearing
them down. In the second half
the regulars went in, overcame
the Brockton lead and stepped out
to double the score. The game
ended 22-13 in favor of the
Wolves.
The second game was between
the "Wolf Pups" and the Brock
ton regulars. This vas a good
game. 1t was not nearly as rough
the girls game. The Brockton
boys were heavier and had a little
the edge on the Wolves all the
way through. The Wolves were
constantly shifted in order to
lind a combination that would
work smoothly. Some promising
material for next year was uncov-
cred on both teams. We snail
certainly need new blood as most

WILL IRIS SPEAk4LR IMPROVE THE ATHLETICS?
WHAT SAY TIC A TRIP TO LONDON TO SEE III
NEY F~IGHT?-RACING DOPE
BY PHILIP MARTIN


TUST what effect will be derived
by Connie Mack's Athletics
from the presence of iris Speak
er in the AS outfield this season
remains somewhat of a mystery to
the boys in the Darkroom whose
winter gossiping soon will be
over.
Our friend Spoke, not as MINI
BILE afoot as he was several sea-
sons ago. but yet possessing a bat
ting eye capable of meeting the
apple for an average somewhat
better than 900, signed with the
AS after all attempts at meeting
a salary agreement with the Sena-
tors had failed.
No one knows what Speaker
will get from Connie Mack, but
whatever it is it will be just
$500 less in the long run than it
would have cost Mack had he
snagged the Texan via the waiver
route.
AS all clubs had waived on
Speaker, Speaker became a free
agent, thereby hurting the purse
strings of only the Washington
club. The Senators would have
profited $500 worth had some
club claimed him on the waiver
route.
With Speaker under his dtrec-
ton, it Is the plan of Connie Mack
to use Bing Miller and Al Sim
mons on his sides, with Wally
French in reserve. Quite an out
sfie1d, able to average we'll over
800 and at the same time manage
to catch most of the fly balls that
fall around and about 'em.
But this is February, and it is
a long time until the end of the
ball season will arrive.
The Macklets, with Speaker,
may prove a more potent factor in
the American League race this
season, but it must be remem-
bered that the Yankees were a
good ball club last year and will
be just as good a ball club this
year.
But Speaker will give them
help. Just how much remains to
be seen.
IF Tom Heeney should be the
Il survivor of the current heavy

easily demand without too much

Richard that the next champion
ship fight be held in London town.
1t is no great secret that
Richard has been casting eyes
towards the Thames with the OBJ
ject of making that part Of this
world the scene of his next Tun-

of New Zealand, a remote part
OF the British Empire, to let the
Londoners call their own, it looks {

HILL TOPPERS
 WIN CHANNEL
 CHAMP PIONSHIP
Juneau Boys Beat Island Five 28 to 8 Tn Third
 Consecutive Victory

Winning their third consecutive game over their Douglas rivals, the Juneau Hilltoppers carried home Channel championship D last nigh; after the 28 to 8 vic tory over the Islanders in the second game of a doubleheade played in the Douglas Nat.
 Scotchmen may have rcputd- tion for being tight, but "Scotty" Livie was extremely liberal with the baskets last night for he sank a total of 10 field goals. and one conversion added to this male his total 21 points, while he shot but 27 times. He was the big at- traction during the game. al. though in the early stages he ap- peared to have left his shooting eye at home. Later he dribbled in time and again for baskets.
 As usual the boys got away to a slow start in the contest and when the first quarter ended the score was 2 to 9 J. Orme made the first basket, a short one, after five minutes of play. Martin sanS a long shot to tie the count just before the period ended.
 Livie did his stuff in this period. Things were still going slowly, when suddenly "Scotty' got away with the ball in the center of the floor and with Il clear field ahead of him dribbled down the floor and shot a basket. He was given the ball minute later and put in another one and before the half ended managed 60 get away with a clear field ahead of him for a twenty-yard dribble and a basket Quarter score Livie 6, Douglas o. Total score Juneau s. Douglas 2.
 Then the fun began. Livie open ed the fireworks in the second half with two, short baskets. Doug las decided to score, so Carlson placed in a short basket. Livie came right back with conversion and the tip off gave him the ball and he immediately dribbled past two men and sank another basket. Savikko replaced Gair. Martin put in a short shot, but was fol- lowed by ]. Orme and Livie, who put in one each from close range, while Berggren converted for his only score Of the game. Juneau 20, Douglas 6.
 As the closing frame started Livie got away for his fourth dribble from near the center of the floor which resulted in two more markers for Juneau. He shot another short one a minute later and J. Orme was right on his heels with the second and last long shot of the game. Livie made his tenth field goal on a short one and Martin of Douglas ended the scoring with short field goal Brandt replaced ]. Orme and Fox went in for Savik- ko in this quarter
 But two field goal attempts made from near the 17-foot line were good, practically all the shots being made from right un- der or nearly under the basket.
 Anyone having any ideas before the game as to which was the better team can entertain little room for doubt now. Judging from the two previous games won by the Juneau boys they appeared to have good edge over Douglas.
