CRAWFORDS WIN OVERTIME GAME FROM BRASSCOS
Pittsburgh Colored Five Impressive in Final Bas=
 ketball Contest

The Pittsburgh Crawfords, featur- ing member of the Renaissance and member of the famous Claver All-Stars, wound up the basketball season locally with 44-43 five minute overtime victory over the Brasscos last evening in a lively con- test at the Phoenix avenue armory before 200 customers.
 The colored aggregation put on a fine show for the faithful followers of the Brasscos. They presented a sharp-shooting star in the person of "Fats" Baker, former Tuskegee institute luminary, who cut the cords for 19 points, via eight field goals and three complimentary awards.
 The Craws started to go to town of the bat and at half time held an -8--15 lead. The Brasscos came to life in the third period with the ineertion of Eddie Kobles of Bristol inao the lineup and as the last quarter started the locals held a 30-22 lead.
 The tide of the battle turned in the last period with the visitors dominating the play, tying the score with 40 seconds to play and neces- sifating a five minute overtime in which they outscored the Brasscos, seven to six.

Dahlgren Mourns
 As Highest Paid Bench Warmer

New York, April 25.-(JP)-Life is full of misffts, and Ellsworth (Babe) Dahlgren, highest paid utility play CT in baseball, is beginning to feel like one as he warns the New York bench day after day.
 There are several major league clubs who could use the 26-year-old Californian at first base, but Babe is Manager Joe McCarthy's insurance policy against an infield breakdown.
 Although Lou Gehrig is fast ap- preaching the end of his amazing career, Dahlgren knows that he is not likely to get the first call to fill the vacancy. Mccarthy is preparing young Tommy Heinrich, an outfield- CT, for the job. Every day Heinrich works out around first base, and only in case of his failure will Dahl- gren get a chance at the position.
 Although first-basing is Babes speciality, he also is an excellent third -baseman, and his future seems just as limited in that direction with Red Rolfe doing a grand job for the Tanks. Dahlgren planes it all on his being right-handed.
 Hard Luck
 "It's left-handers game" he joked. Tits just my luck to swing from the other side. A southpaw hitter saves those couple or three steps to first base. They even build the ball parks for the left handed hitters. Look at Yankee Stadium, Shibe Park. Sportsman's Park. The only field in the American League where I know the left field fence is less distant than the right is at Boston.
 Look at Gehrig. He is left-hand- ed, and so is Henrich. It's the same story at third base with Rolfe."
 It was a right-hander, however, who thwarted Dahlgren's first bid for regular major league job. The great Jimmy F'oxx beat him out of the firSt-basing job at Boston in 1885. After he had spent year at Syracuse, the Tanks bought him for their Newark International League club. With Gehrig still going strong on the parent club, Dahlgren de- cided to try third base, where he hit $40 in 1887. He came up last year in a utility role and broke into the lineup for 27 games when Rolfe was ailing.
 Too good for the minors, plenty good enough for at least three other American League clubs, and still not good enough for the Tanks, Dahl- gren is well paid. His last years worlds series check of $5, ,782.76 added to his regular salary, made him the best paid bench-warmer in the game.
