 South Church Runs Away
 The South church staged a basket shooting contest and ran up the most bp-sided score of the season as 1t smothered the Center church by 61.7. The one-two play gave Bell a basket in the first five seconds and although Lockwood tied the score with Q long push shot Mercy and the rest of the champions broke loose and piled up 25-s lead dur ing the remainder of the period. The losers counted twice when passes were intercepted and Rrown drib- bled the length of the floor for clever running shots. The second half was worse than the first, the winner holding the Center church without score from the field. Vessels went in and made five basket, Battling" Barta brought his total to five. and the South church amassed 36 points during the session. At the end the losers were merely forming a ring under their basket in an effort to keep the score from mounting any higher.
 Mercy had ono of his really big nights and ran up 1s points. Barta broke into two figures for the first time. and altogether five men on the winning team each made more points than the entire losing side. Bell. with q great chance to gain on Billy Preisser in the scoring race. contented himself with passing and helping his mates to make points.

However. the one bright spot in the argument offered by the visitors was given by Lou Gehrig. Yankee baseball star, in the dressing room following the contest. The manager of the team was in there giving an oration on the partiality shown by Waters during the game. He claim cd that the referees work was in- tentionally against the New York team to allow New Britain to win.
 In the middle of his discourse, Gehrig spoke up and said that he was all wet. The baseball star said that if New Britain had won by two or three points, there right be some grounds for the claim. But when . team Is beaten by another 14 points such as we were tonight" said Gehrig, tits a pretty long dis tance alibi to blame it on the ref cree"

bURLEIGH GRIMES SENT ID PIRATES
Giants Have All the Experts
 Guessing Over Latest Deal

New York, Feb. l3 R,-To judge from the reaction to the latest trade of the New York Giants, the club has clinched first prize in the keep the-boys guessing contest. Without yet having solved to their entire satisfaction just why Hornsby was traded to the Braves the experts now are puZzling over the latest deal that sends Burleish Grimes to the champion Pirates in exchange for Vic Aldridge. the Hoosier school master.
 The Giants have taken their share of riding" over the Hornsby deal and one of the assembled critics Sat- urday was bold enough to inquire whether Charley Stoneham had taken John McGraw into hts con- fdence' in trading Grimes.
 Perhaps the explanation is that the Giants prefer a curve-ball pitch CT who writes his own newspaper stuff. to a spitball beaver with tenn perament.
 | Otherwise surface appearances all are n the Pirates favor, for Grimes had by far the better record of the two last year.
 1 Both Aldridge and Grimes have had cratic and chcckered careers under various banners.
 l The Hoosier schoolmaster was both hero and goat in the 1925 worlds series with Pittsburgh. Vic won his first two starts against the Senators. So did Walter Johnson and the setting was laid for a dram- atic tussle when they hooked up in the seventh and deciding battle in the fog at Forbes field. But Ala ridge ''blew up" in the first inning. let in four runs with his wildness and passed unecremoniously from the picture. Old Barney stuck it out in spite of the terrific hitting off his delivery but was beaten and also lost 1, the chance to join the immortal few who have three triumphs in one l series to their credit.

From present indications. 1t seems that the league will finish its regu- lar playing season late this month and start the play-ofr immediately. This is because the leases on some of the playing rinks expire in the middle of March and some of the hockey club owners are against ex- tending the playing into the baseball season.
