Althouch it is not definitely de- cidod whether or not the stanley Rule or Corbin Screw team will be the holder of first or second place in the Y. NJ. C. A. Industrial bas- kctbaIl league, there is no doubt but that first and second place will be hold by both of these teams. However third place is still in doubt and four teams are eligible as possibilities. Tonight, two that arc tied for the place will fight t out.
 Stanley Works had been the eX- elusive third place team until the Corbin Screw battle last week when it lost while the Russwin quintet won. This sent both teams into tie for third place with 10 victor- ies, six defeats and two games 10 play A victory for either the Stan- l ley Works or Russwin team tonight will leave the winner in position where it will be assured of q third place tie at least.
 Last year Stanley Works finished , in fifth and RuSsWin in fourth place. | At the present writing it seems Cer- | tain that each team will better it's | last years standing. Fatnir quintet l is far below its last years standing when it finished in q second place
 tie with the Rulers. The Bearing i Makers have q chance 10 finish m | the first division by winning all three games remaining on it's sched- ule. I.andcrs, it's opponent of the night. has been playing better bas- 1 kctban than it's standing would in dicatc and it might advance if it
 gets some "brcalls' in the games re-
 maininE on the schedule.
 Stanley Rule has it's work cut out for it. 1t cannot faltcr or Corbin
 Screw will ovcrtalle it. Tonight It
 will have to defeat the tail-end team from the New Britain Machine Co. A loss for the Stanley Rule will throw it into tie with the Screw Shop team. It is expected that Coach Jimmy Murphy will tell his
 protegos not to underrate the New matics in the game. Last Tuesday the New Britain Machine team
 might have been successful if it
 were not for q shift in the lineup
 at the start of the second half.

Adams and Jimmy Collins played the forwards with Jerry Conway at center. Al Sloman and Hank Ar burr held down the guards.
 Tomorrow night, Sloman and Collins will occupy the forward ranks while Sid" Richman will play center. Conway and Arburr will be in the guards. This is the combination that stopped the Brooklyn team last Saturday night and also tipped over the Maspeth Lithuanians in midnight game the week before. It is being favored to take the Red Caps into camp, but not without a battle.
 The visitors will have Walker and Carter at the forwards. Walker is a diminutivC chocolate drop who furnishes plenty of thrills while be- ing a scream as q natural comedian. Peters will play center with Seay and Wright in the backcOurt.

"Scott Quit" Says 1unney as StriblinS Calls Him Bum"

Miami Fla, Feb. 2S Pl-Two big broad shouldered men looked at the skirmish of the tropics with expert eyes. One would not have climbed into the ring to box for any amount Of money, although he could have beaten any of the tten men in 1t. The other refused an offer Of sl5,000 10 take part in the second show when he had been d principal in the first ono year ago.
 The first was Gene Tunncy and the second Young StriblinG.
 Scott quit" said Tunncy.
 "Scotts a bum" said Stribling.
 Watching boxing bouts from seats among the spectators was novelty for both Gene and 'W. L. Tunney was looking at his first big boxing bout since he left the ring forever after his defeat of Tom Heeney q year and half ago. StriblinG IS usually in a corner as a participant.
 What did you think of Scott?' Tunney was asked
 "I haven't seen him." was the reply. "I told you last night that I had never seen him. Well, that holds good tonight. l haven't seen him yet"
 The former heavyweight champion polite as always. said that the card as a whole was "very interesting Tunney. who attended the show" with Mrs. Tunncy and a group of friends, arrived just before the opening six rounder and remained until the close. He was attired Tn dinner clothes but took no chances on retarding his convalescence from a recent operation by catching cold and wore a wide brimmed Panama hat.
 The youthful Stribline had no hat and wore a sports suit. He. too liked the affair in general, but could not say much for the act occupying the headline spot.
 Just think" lamented the flying Georgian. "they wouldn't siVa me so5.00o to fight on this card and lei fellow like Scott get in there fol the main bout" The Madison Square Garden management offered Stribling sl5.00o. but he counteret with a proposal 10 box for so5.ooo which was respectfully declined b! the promoters.
 Tt would have paid them to pa! me s25,000." said the boxer "' would have drawn much more thar that. Not in the s25 seats maybe but I would have filled up those $; and s12 spots,
 This show last year drew mor' than s400,00O and I am not bra sgin! when I say I drew most Of it. | thought an offer Of sl5,o0O wa i little short of an insult" The little Georgian had just scel l Campolo ekc out a prccarious drav with fisko and as he fought Prim l Camera twice in Europe, Striblin 1 was asked to hazard an opinion oI 1 the outcome of bout between tn Argentine and Italian.
 'I think Camera would beat Cam polo" he said. This Camera is far better fighter than he is give | credit for being. ] tell you he ca fight. should know as well a anybody. I was in there with hin
 "Carnera Is doing a lot of clown ing now but when he has to he wi show something. Yes. Garner should stop Campolo."
 Strihling will not box for six 0 eight weeks on account Of an in jured left hand. "It's good brea at that he said 'it might be wors, still can fly. sold my ship th other day but I have another on coming"
 Tunney went away 10 get well an remain. spectator at boxing show Strihling went away 10 fly and fgl again.
