Brown Bomber Looks More

New York, Feb. 24.-(AP)-Joe

bomber himself dropped out of tn.
fistic clouds last night with detina-
ton that rocked the rafters of the old
battle-pit and flattened turly Nathan
Mann, New Haven Comm challenger
for the world heavyweight champion

Back to the pugilistic wars after a
1ayoff of six months, Louis rallied
from a shaky start to cut Mann down
and knock him out in the third round
of a Is round match before a neac-
capacity garden crowd.
The end came in 1:56 of the third
after Mann had taken a count of nine
in the second round, being saved by
the bell, and then battered to the floor
three times in the abbreviated final
chapter.

.BASKETEERS TO
 SOON GATHER AT MEET IN DENVER
Shooting Stars of U nited States Are to Stage
 Big Tourney
By LOUDON KELLY

DENVER, March 9--The nations major congress of star basketball teams and players convenes in Denver soon for a week of import ant business.
 The occasion is the National A.A.U. tournament. 31st edition, to be run off for the fourth consecu- tive year on the city auditoriums hardwood stage March 1919.
 A.A.U. league quintets, college teams, hometown brides from small villages, teams representing clubs, business associations and religious societies--all strive for the title.
 The team that gets hot and stays that way for a week is the team to watch.
 The Denver Sideways did it last year, beating the Bartlesville, okla, Phillips in the final battle. 43-3S, for the first AA.U. title a Rocky mountain team has won since the University of Utah beat fav- ored Illinois Athletic Club team at Chicago in 1916.
 The Sideways, back for the 1888 tournament, won the first half title in the Missouri Valley A.A.U. circuits split season this year, but lost four of their first six games in the second half and forfeited their chances for clean sweep.
 It looks like a good bet that one of the six M.V.AAU teams will be in there at the finish of the National meet again this year.
 The league is regarded by many experts as the fastest hardwood cir cult in the U. S. It combs the col- leges between the midwest corn belt and the Pacific coast of their best basketball players just as the National Professional football league attracts grid stars from the campus.

 ELKS VICTORY,
 HOOP STRUGGLE
Eagles Trample Bremen in Opener to High Schools
 One-P oint Win

A determined second half drive brought victory by one point to Ju- neau High Schools Crimson Bears who vanquished the hopeful Elks squad by score of 24 to 23, last night in the High School gymna- sium.
 Playing a game of watchful de- fense and fast offense, the Bears kept the score margin well within control during the second half, in sharp contrast to the opening game of the evening which saw the Doug las Eagles tally a wide margined score of 54 to 36 over the Bremen.
 EIks Lead at Half
 The High School Elks fracas started off in favor of the Elks who tallied a free shot and two field goals before Harold Hansen chalked up the first goal for the High School. The Elks continued their substantial lead through the first half which ended 13 to T in their favor, but when the third quarter rolled around they tallied only one field goal and one free shot to their opponents ad- ditional nine points. which brought the score to 16-16 as the quarter ended.
 Both teams were out to win as the fourth quarter started, and the tie rose to 18 to Is at the beginning of the final period, soon to be changed, however when Gil De- Vault shot free throw followed by another from Hansen. Cheered on by an excited roofing section, the High School sank another only to be rivaled by two baskets from the Elks. But another Crimson Bear goal brought the High School one point ahead, and the final minute of play failed to give the battling Elks their scoring chance.
 Each team made ten field goals, but the High Schools conversion of four out of seven foul shots, against the Elks' conversion of three out of six shots cost the Antlers their victory.
 Harold Hansen ranked as high point man, followed by Gil DeVaull for the High School. while Roy Smith effectively guarded) and Dick May both tailed seven points for high place on the Elks squad
 Bremen Slip
 Despite an opening quarter which promised close game, the Firemer failed to keep pace with the Doug las Eagles who. by the time the sec- end half was underway, were taking matters confidently in their own hands.
 At the end of the first quarter, the Bremen led 10 to 9, and by the close of the half they brought their lead to 26 to 21. That was the end of their success for the evening, however, for the third quarter was time for the flight of the Douglas Eagles. Seven field goals and one free shot were tailed in quick sue cession by the charging Eagles who allowed the Bremen just one field goal for the entire quarter.
 With margin of 36-28 to battle as the fourth quarter commenced, the Bremen watched the score board with less interest and let
