Badger Starr Yankees Tame
Original Ce|tics, 1892

NEW YCRK-(S N S)-Arthur
Joseph's crack Harlem Yankees
made their local debut Sunday night
at the Renaissance Casino by out
scoring the highly touted Pete
Barry's Original Celtics, 1892, in
a pro basketball battle witnessed by
over 1900 enthusiastic fans. The
game was one of the most specta-
cular contests staged in New York
in recent seasons. The Yankees are
now afaiting their Jan. A clash at
the Kenny with either the Balti-
more Clippers or the Washington
Brewers of the American Pro Lea
que.
Paced by dead-eye Lou Badger,
who racked five baskets and six
foul tosSes for total of Is points,
the sharp-shooting Harlem aggrega-
ton put on a spectacular show to
hold the visitors in check. The
Yankees led at the half, ills. Syn
mott, Celtic guard, turned in total
of 13 points to lead his team in
scoring. Flanagan with seven, and
Bollerman with five, followed.
BARRY GETS IN GAME
The going got SO hot that Pete
Barry, himself, veteran of many a
cage engagement in the days when
Nat Holman, Dutch Dehnert,
Davey Banks, Joe Lapchick and
others were in Celtic uniforms,
came into the game toward the
end. But the pace the tricky
Yankees were maintaining was too
fast for him to interrupt, despite
his experience
Dolly King, former Long Island
University captain and wizard
shot under the hoop, got eight
points for the Yankees, tied only
by John Isaacs, who chalked up a
like total. Pop Gates, Benny Gar
rett, Bricktop Wright, Frank CAT
fey and Warner all saw service in
the game.
Fans Like Pro Play
The game established the fact
that Harlem fans are very much
interested in professional basket
ball and will come out again and
again to see it, providing the op-
position is pretty evenly matched
with local talent. That Is why
Joseph has lined up the Brewers
and the Clippers for future games
Which team will play on January
4 at the Kenny is not known al
present, but that is expected to be
ironed out within a few days.

in many fields, say Hampton grad
yates of the past two decades,
whose opinions are presented in an
athletic survey released 5OGay by
Gideon E. Smith, of the Hampton
Institute department of physical
education.
The survey is the result of a
questioDnaire recently sent out by
Smith to ascertain how former
Hampton students felt about the
time they had given to athletics
while in college. Coach Smith
wanted to know if they had prof.
tied from being the center of at

taken, newspaper articles written
about them and the banuuets and
parties given in their honor. Or
had all the emphasis given to ath-

The legislation was asked by the

except that it specifically authorizes

Liquor License Test

Permit Believed to Be
Representative Smith

One test as TO who has juriSdic-

Airport, at Gravelly Point. is eX-
pected to be reached at 10 am,
July 7. when the District Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board considers
protest over the granting of an on
sale liquor license for the Air Termi-
nal Services. Inc. at the airport.
Officials and employees of the A.
B. c. Board yesterday refused to
disclose who had protested the
application of 1.-The airport con-
cessionaire, but from previous in
formation it was indicated that
a protest had been filed by Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat, of
Virginia
Mr.. Smith, following ruling
issued by District Corporation
Counsel Richmond B. Keech that the
airport was within District govern
ment jurisdiction, made statement
that he would wage a vigorous
fight" against the granting OF
liuuor license for the airport. The
Virginia law does not permit on-sale
dispense ton of liquor.
Recently. Mr.. Keech ruled that
all. or almost all, of the airport
property was within the ancient
high water mark of the Potomac
River and therefore was under
District jurisdiction, and, therefore,
the airport and its concessionalres
were subject to applicable District
tax and license laws and regulations.
Following this ruling the airport
agency applied for a class &C.
license for the airport restaurant.
Oficials and employees OF the
A. B. c. Board refused TO reveal the
name of the protestant in view OF
the fact that the Board Of Com
missioners, on March 81, 1889, hs d
issued an order forbidding the
beverage board or any Of its en-
ployes to reveal the supporting
papers as TO an application for a
permit or a citation by the beverage
board prior to the opening of for
