KETCHIKAN WINS
 HOOP TILT WITH WRANCELL-, 23-20
K yhi Club Needs Two More Victories - Los
 CTS Held Long Lead

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Feb. 26.- In a thrilling game which kept fans. on their feet most of the way, Ketchikan High Schools basket ball team rallied brilliantly in the final quarter here last night to defeat Wrangell High School, B to 20.
 The contest was the first of a three-game series here for the championship of the Southern Di- vision, Southeast Alaska Confer- ence. Because of victories scored at Wrangell recently by Wrangell, the Kayhi team must take the remaining two games, scheduled for tonight and tomorrow night
 The visitors from Wrangell jump ed into an early lead last night and it looked bad for the home team until the beginning of the fourth period. Wrangell led at half-time, 15-l4. Laurie Brood of Wrangell and Harry Elliott of Ket- chikan were the n1gh-point men.
 The game drew the largest crowd of the current hoop season here.
 The winner of this series is scheduled to travel to Juneau to meet that citys prep five for the championship of all Southeast Alaska.

Beatinc the Nusilagaks last night at Elks Alleys by 2-to-1 count, the Yukons finished their Alaska Rivers League bowling season, ac- cording to unofficial tabulations, in first-place tie with the Takus.
 A playoff, therefore. will be necessary between the Takus and the Yukons in order to dermine which club will face the Alaska Islands League champion for the inter-league title. James Barra- gar, Jr., chairman of the Elks bowling committee, will announce the date of the playoff tomorrow.
 On the Yukon club are: Mrs. A. w. Stewart, Martin Lavenik and George Benson. On the Taku team are: Mrs. R. Peterman, Fred Hen ming and Joe Thibodeau.
 Play last night found Lavenik leading all the men bowlers with a 579-count as the Yukons won.
 Mrs Clarabel Messerschmidt starred brilliantly as she led the Susitnas to rousing 3-to-0 vic- tory over the Tananas. By virtue of this win, the Susitnas take third place in the League. Mrs. Messerschmidt had the fine tally of 569 pins to head all the women bowlers.
 The other match last night found the Stikines beating the Kobuks to 1.
 With regular competition closed in the Alaska Rivers League, the Alaska Islands League will wind things up tonight in a three match finale. The Kodiaks and Attus are billed for 7:30 o'clock; the Baranofs and the Unimaks at 8::30 o'clock; and the Douglas team and the Kruzofs at 9:30 o'clock.

When Paul Brown, mainstay of the Krause Concreter basketball team, became i'll upon the eve of his teams playoff battle with the DeMolays tonight to break that second half tie for first place in the City League, he started some thing.
 This morning, it was reported that Ed Garnick, stellar guard of the DeMolays, was confined to his home with a serious cold and prob ably would not be able to play in the critical game tonight.
 So, apparently, it is a case of "tit-for r-tat' that the two claim ants for the second-half City League title are playing. Brown is ill with inflammatory rheuma- tigm.
 Garnick reported to work yes- terday at his fathers grocery stoe, but was sent home for treat nlcnt for a heavy cold Doubt was expressed this morning if he would be in condition to partici- pate. Even though he is able to don a suit, he will not be at his physical best.
 While Garnick is not the high 5coring player that Brown of the Conereters is, he is an able guard and has been chosen on past All- Star teams for his superb defens- i've play. His loss, or his handi- capped physical condition-as the caEe may be-will be serious setback.
 Tonight's contest, as has been repeatedly stated, is to break a tie now existing between the two clubs for the second half title. The winner will be eligible to challenge the George Brothers, first half victors, for the 1884 S5 City Basketball League cham 
 The game will start at 8 o'clock in Juneau High School. There will be no preliminary contest.

If you could be certain that two of the Boston Red Sox pitchers could be counted on to win 40 games between them, you would be inclined to concede the American League pennant to Tom Yawkeys entry, wouldn't you? There is no way of being certain, however.
 Over a period of four years starting in 1929, Lefty Grove and Wesley Terrell together averaged 49 games per season. But there is little likelihood that they will match that mark now that they are teammates in Boston. On the strength of their last years rec ords the odds are greatly against their even approaching that figure
 Terrell, with a late start due to a squa5ble with the Cleveland club, did well enough after he got un- der way and managed to finish the season with a respectable rec ord, IA victories against 5 defeats He might possibly continue at the same pace this year and go well over the 20 game mark.
 The big question, of course, is what Lefty Grove will do. The lean lefthander had a disastrous season in 1894. Last spring he turned up at training camp with a sore arm. Dentists extracted his teeth and surgeons yanked out his tonsils but the old left arm did not choose to respond. He did finally get around to doing bit of tossing but all he could show for his seasons work was eight wins against an equal number of losses.

HE'D SKIP" THE 1854 MARK

HE'D SKIP" THE 1884 MARK
 In the earned run column, his mark of 6.52 placed him in 63rd position among the 65 listed. Quite a drop indeed, for one who had ranked king of them all not so far back.
 As far as his 1884 record is con- cerned, Lefty prefers to skip it' and dwell on his chances in the coming campaign instead. He feels certain that his valuable left arm has regained it's lost cunning and that he is a good bet to win at least 20 games this year. That prediction ought to put MT. Grove in the optimist clsas, to say the least.
 A winter of hunting, walking, bowling and working out on the rowing machine has put Grove in fine physical condition. Lean and timber. he looks ready to go to work right now. He insists that he has not felt the slightest pain in his left arm during his win ter vacation.

NO MORE IRON-MAN STUFF

It's the common thing for ball players to visualize big seasons ahead before the race gets under way, so Lefty's enthusiasm might well be taken with grain or two of salt. He will be 35 before the season starts and, too, there is no denying the fact that Grove has subjected his salary whip to more than ordinary strain on many oc- casions as he did in 1883 when he pitched nine games in twelve days-from April 20 to May 2.
 His iron man" acts were color ful at the time but they aren't going to enhance his comeback chances.
 In spite of Lefty's unimpressive showing last year, Tom Yawkey and Eddie Collins have not lost confidence in their $125,000 pur- chase. Some reports have it that his new contract calls for the same amount he received last year, $25,- 900. More likely, Grove will be working on scaled document and if he is to earn anything like last years salary he will have to win a stipulated number of games.
 Lefty Grove may yet supply the spark which will ignite the spirit of the pennant hungry Red Sox. All the team now needs is the idea that it can go places. Inspired teams win more pennants than the mechanically great hines.

up the bright idea of letting the
