CADETS DOWN
CONCHS, 20-24
LIONS MAKE RECORD SCORE
OF l07 POINTS AGAINST
NAVY TEAM
BY BERKY
Basketball Sports Writer

Last night in the High School
Gym, the Riverside Military
Academy downed the Key West
High School by a score of % to
"a.
Mcmahon, of the Conchs, start
ed the game with a one-handed
crip-shot. Barnes came right
back and tied the score with a
fly-away.
Cadets took the lead in the
first quarter and were only tied
once afterward-in the third
quarter.
Both teams put up good de-
fense, but neither showed too
good on offense.
Tense moment of the game
was when Smith of Key West
dribbled down the court and tied
the score at 1918 in the third
period of play. Roberts also
starred in the third quarter with
three successive field goals.
Shorty Shulman, Wonder Boy
of Riverside, showed good play
ing with his fast defense and
snappy. pop-shots.
In the fourth quarter, the
Conchs fought hard, but could
not hold the ball and so failed to
regain a lead.
This game made the fourteenth
win out of % games for the visi-
tors. Roberts was high scorer for
the Conchs, while Hall and Shul-
man starred for the Cadets.

Tonight in the High School
Gym at 7::30 o'clock, the u. S.
Army five will oppose the CCC
boys. Both teams are in about
the same rank, as the Soldiers
are out OF practice now. There
fore the contest should be close
and hard-fought.
In the second fracas at $50
o'clock, due to a forfeit by the
Sea Food Grillers, the DeMolays
tackle the High School Varsity.
This game will prove interesting
because the Conchs have to win
to make a showing" in the

Lions Break Record
In the curtain-raiser, the Lions
Club swamped the U. S. Navy by
a score Of 1O7 to q. This score
will long be remembered by the
basketball fans as the Navy is no
push-over and is the fourth rank
ing team in the Island City Bas-
ketball League.
The Lions score last night
eclipsed the high score of 95
made by the same five against
the DeMolays on Friday, Feb

The Lions, using no substitutes,
played a good fast game. Smith

offensive game, with "a points

Knowles starred on the defense.
Lions took the lead after the first
goal and held it the entire game.
Goodwin was high scorer for
the Gobs with six points.

FIVE BOUTS ON
STRAND BOXING
CARD TONIGHT
MIDDLEWEIGHTS CKAS
AND HUGHES IN MAIN AT
TRACTION; EXCEL LENT
PRELIMS ON PROGRAM
BY OSCAR L. MILAN

Johnny LackaS. mighty up-and-
coming middleweight scrapper
from the State of New Jersey bat
ties one frankie Hughes, crack
leading contender for the 100.
pound title, in the main event of
the Strand Arenas weekly fight
card tonight.
Through the efforts Of Promo
ter Jonn Carbonell and by spe-
cial arrangements made by
matchmaker Earl Adams, this
important bout, which may mean
the elimination of one of the con-
tostants from the ranking list of
leading contenders, was brought
to Key West According to re-
ports, boxing promoters all over
the State of Florida have been
trying to match the pair of pep
perry fighters since Lackas suc-
ceeded in holding Hughes to a
draw decision just recently. 1t
seems that the boy who is right
up there in line for a crack at the
crown, has been dodging the Jer-
sey City lad ever since the close
fight.
Hughes, fast moving boxer
with quite a hard-hitting right
hand, is going to try to prove that
he is a much better boxer than
Lackas, who has been acting
mighty big since the pair met
some time back, while the Jersey
City pug is certain that he can
whip frankie and place himself
in line fer a crack at the title
next winter.
Put on at considerable expense
the fight tonight will feature the
best boxing card of the season in
South Florida
Jimmie Pattersall, the we'll
known slugger from New York,
mixes it with Al BeauhOld, the
St. Louis 149-pound promising
welterweight in eight three-min-
ute rounds in the semi-final.
Beauhold will be remembered
here as the boy who gave Red
Roberts Of Miami a boxing les
son three weeks ago in a special
six rounder.
PattersalPs string of victories
lists seven kos to his credit,
which means the newcomer to
these parts of the United States
packs a wallop.
A special added attraction,
which may give the fans a thrill,
will be the six-round prelimin-
ary between frankie Green, Mi
ami. and Chino Hernandez, local
lightweight pride. Fans here
have been asking to see Herman
dez in action since the local boy
made name for himself last
year as champion of his division
in the CCC camp in Alabama. No
better opponent could have been
selected to box Hernandez than
Green, the mighty, little tough
guy from the Magic City. He will
no doubt give Chino a stiff bat
tie.
Two other preliminaries will
wind up the card, which prom
ises action from start to finish.
Due to the fact that so many
fans were forced to take standing
room last week the Carbonell
brothers announce that additional
seating arrangements have been
added to the arena and everyone
attending the contests tonight is
promised a good seat.
Tickets for ringside and box
seats went on sale yesterday aft
ernoon at the box office, which
will remain open all day today,
This is being done to avoid last
minute rush as was the case last
week.
The boxing contest is being put
on under the auspices of the Ma
tiOnal Guards.

School Employees
May Join Union

Members of the Operating En-
ployes' association OF the Tacoma
public schools met Saturday to
discuss a proposition under which
they would be admitted into the
Stationary Engineers Union. Local
No. COG.
The meeting, held In the Central
school auditorium, was attended by
approximately 100 Gust o d a n s,
maintenance workers, and matrons
at the behest of the executive COM
mittee.
During the day they were to
meet with officials of the union to
have the proposition clarified, as
most of those attending the meet
ing expressed themselves as unin-
formed on the subject.
A. e. Duclos, president of the
Operating Employees association,
said nothing had been decided con-
corning the associations attitude
toward the union proposition.
I'VE don't know yet what 1t is all
about" Duclos said. That is why
this meeting was called. to throw
some light on the whole thing.
and there will be other meetings to
thrash the matter out"
