Brewers as a result Of their decisive
54-27 victory in New York last night,
but any comparisons local basket ball
fans may make likely are to favor
the Brewers, who nipped the New

game here yesterday afternoon.
Whereas Chris Heurich's lads were
almost lost in the Whirlwinds' gym at
the Hippodrome in New York last night.

The extra period of the afternoon

that time Whitley Wilson sank two

bade them be seated in his suite at

That's the toughest part OF the

play, including your own good fans
who will be at the University of Mary

I'VE sincerely appreciate the inten-

on our one-night stands, and although
1t may seem a little unfair to those
who want to go out of their way to be
nice to us, you can see for yourself

think that Vines thinks he can
beat Perry any time his shots (and
cannon-shotS are not a misnomer) are
clipping the base line, or falling in
side. He doesn't think Perry, or any
one else can return his shots when he
is right. But it's natural that a hard
driving game like his is more prone
to be losing one when his aims are
even a trifle off; when, to slow down
for accuracy's sake is to change ones

mistakes and correct them, due to his
softer, steadier pace, which does not
accelerate or retard perceptibly.
Vines pish-tushed the idea of the
current series being carried" along by
either player to prevent one or the
other from taking too much of lead
in matches won. 'Its too obvious, to
spectators, when any player starts fool

N YEW YORK, January 25.-The

" Max Schmeling knocked out
= Joe Louis last Summer are
coming back this week to check up on
their judgment of the Brown Bomber
from Detroit.
Louis, whose sudden fall left the ex-
perts as well as the common variety OF
fan far out on a limb. tackles another
young heavyweight, Bob Pastor Of New
York, in a 10-round bout at Madison
Square Garden Friday night.
While there's nothing in the records
to show the Detroit destroyer should
have a harder workout than he did
against Jack Sharkey, AL Ettore, Eddie
Simms or other post-Schmeling rivals,
there's just enough chance for Pastor
20 make things mildly interesting.
Pastor Has Wallop.
DASTOR has a good record for boy
two years out Of the amateur
ranks. He's piled up lot of victories
and a good many knockouts. but not
against the same kind Of opposition
Louis has been facing. He made a
good showing in knocking out big Ray
Impellittieye last month in the fight
that clinched the Louis match. And
he has a good right-hand wallop. the
same weapon Schmeling used to ex-
plode the Bomber.
Louis caused little worry when he
came to town overweight, but his week
of training seems to have dispelled
those fears. He probably will enter the
ring at about 203 pounds. a trifle over
his regular fighting weight, as against
100 for Pastor.
