PURJE TO RACE AT LEGION MEET
Swedish Star to Substitute in
 Games for Edwin Wide

New York. Feb. 27 R-It all sounds very complicated. but Eino Purje has decided to substitute for Edwin Wide who was to substitute for Paavo Nurmi at the New York County American Legion track and field meet at the 102nd engineers armory here tonight.
 All this switching of feature tal- ent came about through the determi- nation of legion officials to have some of the well-known foreign fla vor for their meet.
 Nurmi was to have run in a spe- cial four-mile race, but the "Phan- tom" got himself in jam by failing to appear for the national A. A. U. championship last Saturday night. Now he is under indefinite suspen- sion and possibly will remain SC even after the registration commit tee of the Metropolitan association A. A. U.. meets this afternoon to dis cuss his case. Even if he is rein- stated, Paavo says he will not run until he has recovered from a cold which prevents him from giving his best efforts. With Nurmi out of the picture, the legion got Wide to book his entry for mile and half race. but the Swedish schoolmaster strained his ankle at Elizabeth. N. J., Monday night and is out of competition fol several days at least.
 Purje now has agreed to come tt the rescue. He will try to' break Wide's world record for the mile anG half set at 6:37 4-5 by the Swede in 1927.

IhHueIS
 A wild group of Russell X Erwin partisans saw it's basketball team snatch a game out of the fire from Fafnirs last night at the Stanley Arena in the Industrial league with two spectacular field goals in the last minute of play. The baskets wiped out a three- point Fafnir lead. gave the game to the Russwins by IT to 16 score and killed the hopes of the Fafnir crew of winning the championship.
 With Fafnirs definitel yout Of the running, the battle for the pennant lies between Corbin Screw, Stanley Rule and Stanley Works. Stanley Works can cop the highest laurels only if 1t wins all its remaining games and Corbin Screw and Stan ley Rule drop all of theirs.
 Corbin Screw easily won its game last night against F. x r. Corbin. The Screw Shop substitutes played during the greater part of the con- test. The score in this game was 31 to 1s. The other game of the night resulted in victory for New Britain Machine over Corbin Cabinet by 16 to II score.
 Unfortunate Error
 An unfortunate error of judgment by Captain Howard Belser, who is considered one of the smartest play CTS in the league, was the direct cause of his teams defeat. With to ho opnrp6 foul goal and put his team in the lead l4 to 13. Al Havlick followed this q few seconds later with field goal and the Fafnir team had apparently won the game. Then George Luke made a beautiful long shot that dropped through the netting as clean as a whistle at exactly one minute from the end, but it still looked like . Fafnir victory as the ball whirled around in the back court from Mieczkowski to Havlick to McGrath.
 Then came the fatal break. Just 20 seconds from the end McGrath threw the ball to Belser who was in the middle of the playing court. Belser attempted an overhead hook SnOL WulCH IllocCu Nio OAoiNSS NA1N gave the ball to the Russwin team.
 Karbonic became the hero of the game when he shot the ball from almost the same spot as his team mate, Luke, and it dropped through the rim at exactly seven seconds from the end. Had Belser held the ball instead of shooting his team This was Russwin's second successive vic- tory and it places that team in fifth place.
 The score was tied at Fall and 4-all within the first five minutes of play. When the half ended the score was 10 to 6-Russwin.
 McGrath and Havlick scored twice and after six minutes the teams were tied at 10-all. Nyborg made it il to 10 and Johnny" Sake made a perfect iong shot from the side-mid- de and his team had three point lead. MCGrath made foul goal and Belser a field goal to tie the score at 13 within five minutes of the end
 Then Fafnirs gained the three point lead which it lost on Russ wins two long shots.
 Every member of the R. X F team played a fine floor game. espe- cally George Duke, Nyborg and karbonic, but the honors of the game go to Luke who was the third of the three brothers to make ar appearance on the floor last night His two older brothers played in the P & F.-Screw Shop game. Al Hav- lick played the steadiest game fol Fafnirs and was his teams higf scorer.

 Another Step to Pennant
 Tn scoring its one-sided victory over P. . F. Corbin, Corbin Screw took ( step nearer the pennant. The score at half-time was 17 to 1 in favor of the league leaders.
 Early in the second half the score was 23 to but without warning the P. q F. Corbin team began to find itself and it started 10 cut down the Screw Shops lead. It was z7 to 10 w1nthin three minutes oi the end and the P. & r. team made nine points in the next three minutes.
 Corbin Screws defense was as great as it ever was and even with the substitutes playing the Screw Shop boys held their opponents without field goal for A minutes of play.
 The redeeming feature Of the J'. X F. Corbin team was the stellar playing of Captain Joe Jasper who was the only one who could find the hoop until the last few minutes He made five out of six foul shots. the last four coming in succession Ray Hoist, center. was absent be cause of illness.

FIGHT SIDELlGHTS

Miami Beach, Fla, Feb. 27 R- The front rows of the Flamingo park ringside tonight will look much like the same section in Madison Square Garden, except that soft skirts, white trousers and bananas will replace the formal dress of most of the famous "six hundred mll- lionaires and their friends.
 Babe Ruth. who likes his fights almost as much as his home runs. made flying trip from the Yankees camp at St. Petersburg to see the bout. There is hardly major or minor league camp in Florida that hasn't it's representative in the fistic crowd.
 The largest bet so far reported on the fight was one of $5,SOO to $5.- 900 on Sharkey to win. the result of a difference of opinion between a wealthy Chicago packer of Sharkey and a rich Atlanta friend of Strib- ling.
 The biggest assembly of news papermen since the Dempsey-Car- pentier fight in Jersey City III 1921 has gathered for this fracas. A total of 4S1 requests for press accommo- lations was recorded, as compared with about six hundred for the Jer- sey City fight which set the record. The total is t2 more than for the last Dempsey-Tunney fight. How ever, only 196 will be accommodated in the actual r'rgside press section, wi.ore approximately 45 telegra oh wires have been installed to ca-'y .nc details to ai' parts of 'be coun- 1 ItA.

 for Police ReserTE

George Frsdrick of Slater Road sat up in bed early Sunday morning and rubbed his startled ears. He was sure that he heard . shot. or . rapid succession of shots as if an auto- matic pistol had been discharged.
 Hs ran downstairs to the tele. phone. There's been shooting af- fair on Slater road at number :S7," hs sxcittdly told Sergeant Stadler. and wish . detail would be sent out: here immediately
 Detective Sergeant McAvay, oRi. cer o'nay. Blanchette and Harper. knowing that Slater road is nortort- ous as one of the city's bootleg arteries, rushed to the scene. They banged furiously 1t the door of mum. ber sS7. The door was tpened. Ehs cacaphonous wall of badly tunsd radio greeted them. Youth was hav- ing . birthday party and didn't care who knew 1t. Flushed couples were wrestling to the tunes of Rudy val- lee. Others were sitting about, gaz- ing into the depths of each others eyes. It was | good party.
 But when the shooting was men. tioned-that was another thing. Gussts at the party admitted that three strangers had tried to do . one-Eyed Connolly and crash the gate. They were elected, after much argument. rather forcibly. There had been no shooting. Shooting? Who would think of shooting at . birthday party!
 Al they looked over the long line of parked automobiles in front of the house. the police officers saw the light. The intruders had also driven>a car. Was 1t not possible that backhrinE automobile might have caused the shot or the succession Of shotsf And there the case rests.
