CLOSE TITLE FIGHT
IN PRO COURT LOOP
Cleveland, Fort Wayne and
Rochester BunChed in
First Half Race.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, January 15-Talk-
N ing about better championship
fights. there's one going on now
l. Y in the American professional
basket ball league.
The first half of the split season will
end on February 4, but the race Is as
far from being decided as it was when
the first games were played.
The past week saw Fort Wayne's
Hoosiers Chamber into tie for the top
with the Cleveland Rosenblums, with
Rochester Centrals only two-and-a-half
games behind Fort Wayne and Cleve-
land close out the first half of the sea-
son in duel at Fort Wayne, and that
battle conceivably may determine the
title. Each of the leaders has only
five more games to play in this half
Rochester has lost fewer games than
any rival, but the Centrals still must
play IA first-half games, nine of them
on the road. Not one of the eight clubs
in the circuit has had much luck on
foreign courts.
Theoretically at least. Brooklyn, Chi
cago. New York and Trenton still are
in the fight, but in effect, the first
half title seems to lie among Cleveland,
Fort Wayne and Rochester. Paterson
has developed winning combination
at last, but the silk city five already
has lost too many games to figure in
the title chase. It threatens to be
big factor in the battle for second-half
honors.
The leag1le standing follows:
