NORTH END YMCA LADS WIN FOURTH
 HOOP TOURNAMENT
NOsed Out Community Juniors IS to IA for De- cisive Game and Cham- piOnship

North End Y Jrs copped the sec ond annual N. E. ~" tournament
 last night by defeating the strong Community Juniors 15-14 in an over- time game. This win was the fourth straight tourney win for the N. E ~" Jrs. The courtsters from the Pearl Street Recreation Center com pletely outplayed the .[. D. "" Jrs in the first half and seemed to be on the road to another victory. The score at half time was 6-3 in favor of the Pearl Street Boys.
 During the intermission, Coach Conroy evidently gave his boys a new system because when play was resumed his charges, by playing Q great brand of ball showed their su- periority with a brilliant exhibition of passing, dribbling and shooting. On the first tap Jacovino counted with short shot from under the hoop. Leece followed immediately with another short shot and Martino
 banged two long ones in succession placing the "" club in the lead. The
 third quarter ended with the score 1928 in favor of the Y.
 JUST IN TIME
 When the last quarter started a young man by the name of Piacen- tino decided that things had gone far enough and took a hand in the scor- ing and sunk one from the middle to
 make the score 12-10. Leece tallied for the "" and Garner came back with a short shot making 1t 14-12 With but one-ha1f minute Piacentino again took charge and sank a diffi- cult hook shot to make the count IA all as the whistle blew.
 Coach Conroy of the "" Jrs and Mike Martone, coach of the Com
 munity Jrs decided on 3-minute overtime. The play was fast with
 both teams hurrying their shots with
 neither team doing any damage Two minutes and 45 seconds of the overtime had elapsed when Piacen- tino who had been a star both or the defensive and the offensive fouled Robbie Leece who stepped UT and threw 1t in. The whistle blew
 crowning the North End "Y" Jrs the new champs.
 A crowd of about 300 witnessed the titular tilt. The game was very well handled by Ralph Santoprietro
 and he proved very satisfactory tt
 both factions. Coach Prexy ConroJ
 was very happy inasmuch as this k
 the first championship team that he
 has ever handled.

ropes Petrolle had been Installed as an $ to favorite.
 The sudden change of heart by the boys who lay it on the line was in- terpreted by many to mean that Petrolle, despite his 34-second knockout at the hands of the King less than two weeks before, was cer- tain to win.
 Sudden shifts in the betting odds is not new to New York fight cir cleS, however. On the afternoon of tho night Jimmy McLarnin met Al Singer, then lightweight champion of the world, the heavier McLarnin was the choice at to or and 1. When the bell rang for the first round Singer was 3 to favorite. Singers $ sudden ascension to the favorite's s post gave birth to all sorts of re- ports that the fight way fin the bag for the lightweight champion. The reports died away when Singer hit the mat for good in the third round.
 Belief that there might be some thing phony about Tuts knockout was strengthened by the action of the Minnesota boxing commission and the National Boxing association Both bodies suspended the fighters their managers and all fighters be- longing to the same stables.
 Looked o. K.
 To most of the customers and boz;ing writers who viewed the fight it looked like the real thing. The action was whirlwind all the way and both men absorbed plenty of punishment. The blow that sent Tut down for good--a cracking right that landed smack on the button was certainly of sufficient power to warrant q ten-count.
 Before Tut went down for the last time he took three counts while on his knees. This, he explained was because he was seized with in. tense abdominal pains and his legs "just folded up.' Following the bout he was carried to Polyclinic hospital for an examination. He wal released the next day.

In our new training camp at Sac- ramento the work is pretty plainly cut out for us. From squad of 36
 men we must find players who can better both our attack and defense. am pretty well satisfied with the pitchers; the staff is far above the major league average.
 The Tigers were once noted for att tack, but Cobb, Crawford, Veach and Heilmann have gone, and we need somebody to make some base hits. Thus, at Sacramento, I will look over
 several rockies whose bats sounded pretty loud in the minors last sea- son. One of these is Frank Doljack,
 who led the Middle Atlantic League with an average of 1891 last year. SOME OF THE BOYS We also have the two Walker
 brothers, outfielders from Evansville, former athletes at the University of Mississippi. Gerald hit .378 and stole 50 bases in the Three-Eye last season, though he was out of 1t part of the time with a broken leg. Har- vey batted 1855 for the same team. Eckhardt and Shiver, from Beau
 mont. bring the total up to eight out fielders, including Funk, Stone and Johnson, last years regulars, who
 may find the competition pretty stiff
 for their jobs.
 second and McManus at third look like fixtures but there will be live- ly battle for the job at short. Akers
 and Koenig probably will find owens from Seattle and Holly from Beau- | mont very much in the running for | the job, due to the fine averages they
 made in their respective leagues last year.
 We have added the veterans Schang and Grabowski to our catch
 ing staff, and due to their experience
 they should be of considerable help. LIKES THE TWIRLERS have faith in the pitchers. Victor
 Sorrell, George Uhle, Earl White- | hill, Whitlow Wyatt. Elon Hogsett
 and Waite Hoyt, believe. are six de- pendable moundsmen. Hoyt recently expressed the belief he could win 15
 games for the Tigers this year. He | is taking the seasons work with full seriousness and has been keep
 ing himself in good condition. Hoyt
 wants to prove that he still is a top-
 notcher, and. he will be given every
 chance to show that he has the stuff which made him great in world | | Hoyt is already at Richardson | Springs, Calf, climbing the moun-
 tains to get into shape.
 | EYE TROUBLE | Sorrell is going to wear glasses
 this year, understand, and this may
 add to his effectiveness as he has
 been bothered with his eyes for sev-
 eral seasons back. Wyatt informs
 me that his arm, which went lame
 last year just as he got into a win-
 ming stride, is much better. Hogsett,
 who suffered with stomach trouble
 part of last season, has been treated by specialists and I am expecting
 him to be greatly improved pitch
 CT this year.
 l Last year at the start everything went wrong. The Tigers lost games
 in every way known to baseball. I
 am hoping we get away this year on
 the right foot ard am confident the
 team will give @ better account of | itself in 1931
