Especial to The Tribunc:)

New Deipzig, N. D.. Dec 24.-Despite
a heroic rally that carried them into
a tie with the victors, the Flasher
Independents dropped a hard-fought
cage encounter to the New Leipzig
Tanners by score of IA to IL here.
The Tanners. scoring three field bas-
kets in the first quarter, shut their
adversaries out in the opening stanza.
It was not until the dying moments
of the second quarter that the Inde-
pendents were able to break the mesh
when they tossed a brace of field bas-
kets in as many minutes
Reversing the story of the opening
quarters, the Independents came back
in the third quarter to hold the Tam
ers scoreless while they rang up six
points. The Tanners steadied at this
point, however, and maintained their
early lead to nose out a two-point
victory.
The Giese brothers and Anderson
starred for the victors, while Pierce

GRANTED LICENSE
 FOR BOXING HERE
Mohawk A. C. Officials Appear
 Before Two City Boards

Officials Of the MohaH A. c. ap- peared before the park board and license committee of the common council last night in the interests of the petition submitted by them for the right to conduct professional and amateur boxing bouts in this city and for the right to use Memo rial Field in Willow Brook park for the purpose.
 The license committee granted the club a one-year license to conduct the boxing shows here stipulating that it had the power only to desig- nate amateur bouts and referring the club to State Athletic Commissioner Thomas E. Donohue for the permit to conduct pro bouts.
 The park board, after hearing the plans of the club expressed by Ed ward J. Hurley, spokesman for the club, decided to look over the grounds before granting the privi- lege. Members of the board will try to figure out way to rearrange the bleachers there for better protection for the promoters.
 Mir. Hurley stated that the club plans to stage a series of six cards during the summer season. Some may be amateur tournaments while others may be the new-talent cards which have become so populas throughout the state. A guarantee of $1oo each night is made to the board and with privilege Of 10 per cent of all net gate receipts over s1,O00. The officials stated that they hope 10 arrange an arena which will seat $500 spectators.
 Loss of the amateur association membership in Connecticut. was git- cn as the reason for the request for permission to conduct professional bouts. This ~as result of the re- cent investigation into the charges of commcrcialism in Connecticut The local license committee has nc power over professional fights. Club officials were notified that as | long as there are no abuses or me privilege. the license will be made | more or less exclusive for the period | of one year.

SPRINGFIELD CLUB ID PLAY FALCONS
Strong Milton Bradley Team
 Coming Here Sunday

One of the best semi-pro baseball clubs in the east will oppose the Falcons at St. Mary's Field Sunday afternoon in the Milton Bradley Co. team of Springfield, Mass. The az gregation from the City of Homes is composed of college and prep school stars and forms a classy com mbination
 Among the stars who will be seen in action are Shea of Mass. Prep. class of 1927, a first baseman: Cook of Springfield college, second base man; Davis, star shortstop of Springfield college; D. Sullivan of Mass, Prep; Kane and St. Pierre candidates for the Hartford Eastern league club; J. Sullivan, Springfield pro; Murphy or Bourice. These men will form the inner and outer works for the club
 Four catchers and as many pitch CTS will give the team plenty of bat tery material from which to choose. The catchers are Bourice, Coffee, Chrstophori and Putnam. while the pitchers are Steere, with the Cincin- natl Nationals in 1924; Began of Westfield, Dunbar and Murphy.
 The Falcons will probably use At wood, who has been going along at a. great pace this year. The team will remain intact for the coming game after it's successful showing against the Hudsons of New Haven last Sunday
 An idea of the strength of the visiting club may be gained from the fact that Lawless who played and starred for the Falcons last sea- son, was a member of the club He is attending college at the present time but g the end of the school year he will join the Bridgeport Eastern league club.
 Sundays game should prove to be real blue banner attraction for To- | cal fans.
