Chicago Crenadiers
Bombed by Goodwins
By LEROY JOHNSON

Last Sunday afternoon at the Somer-
vile Gymnasium, l watched with
shame, one of the worst exhibitions of
basketball these aging eyes ever wit
messed.
The highly touted Chicago Grena-
diers (Colored) were whitewashed 81
80 by the classy Goodwins of Boston.
The defense of the Chicago boys was
as weak as a five masted barkentine
without a rudder; their defense pu-
trid, and their shooting on a par with
a Park League novice team. Shorty
Daley was the one bright star mixed in
with a group of faded ones. He sank
eight baskets.

We're on par with the Globe Trotters
and Rens, as advertised before the

DUNBARS EDGED 1880
Last week, Wednesday night at Les
ters Hall, in Lynn and playing as if
inspired by some unseen force, the
Lynn Crescents edged the Dunbars of
Cambridge, 31-30 in a much superior
game.
The Lynn boys used western brand
of basketball while the Dunbars en-
ployed the Eastern style of play in a
clean fast contest in which few fouls
were called. Dottin and Griffin looked
great on the for. Jimmy Griffin was
the top scorer with II points; Clyde
Dottin scored Z and Frannie Matthews
looped five points as he sparkplugged
the team along with Ridley, Belts and
Thorne. The Lynn boys led by Hill,
Waterman, Brown, Hayward, Berry.
Scott and DIX, are to be complimented
for fine craftsmanship and for being
very good ball handlers and interpre-
ters of clever plays.

By MABE K0UNTZE

Three of the six fnalists in the 1871
indoor A.AU. 60 I'd. dash last week
came from cOlored colleges.
AS you recall, Herb Thompson of
Jersey led an all-colored field to the
tape, dethroning second place Barney
Ewell who was trailed by Mozel (Tus-
kegee) Ellerbe; Eulace Peacock; Leo
alabama State) Tarrant; and Tommy
(Cheyney Teachers, Pa East. Thomp-
son, incidentally, never went to college.
Thus, three boys from race colleges,
two boys from "all-American" colleges
and one boy who never had a chance
to attend college made a most impress
sive reply to the sprint supremacy
claim of Cal. Hal Davis.
In fact, since Davis put forth his
claim, never have l known so many
colored sprinters to seemingly spring
from nowhere. Even so, Bill Carter,
Gil Walker, and other sepia stars are
ALSO going to register their claim.

Ray Valente and Brainerd of Tufts

Coach Dussault then exhibited the
versatility of his two stars as Walter
Hall smashed the cage record for the
1000 yard run.
Captain Eddie Digger added Is
more points with triple triumphs in
the so yd. dash, the 300 yard run, and
the running high jump.

LEFTY BROWNS
DIAMOND DOPE
%+.s+.&.s-..:.-::.-s:..ss..;:.-;.-:-.:..

Editors Note: Lefty today gives
some inside dope" on the quality of
League players and what is needed to
remedy matters.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
LOSING PLAYERS
The Colored National and American
League big-wigs convened in Chicago
last week. The American league seems
to be running smoothly, as usual, but
the National league is still bit upset.
For the last four or five years they
have been losing most of their name
players to foreign countries where the
salary is doubled, sometimes tripled.
AS a result, the league standard has
dropped. The gates being small, the
owners are forced to hire untried
players at a low salary.
BIGGER SALARIES TEMPT SEPIA
PLAYERS
A few years back, Newark bought
Paige from the Crawfords; "Satchel'
hasn't put in an appearance yet.
Black Yankee boss, Senior, sold
pitchers, Parker and Roberts, to the
Elite Giants last spring in Memphis.
Thomas Wilson felt, with the acqui-
sition of these two men, he had the
pennant sewed up. But, instead of re-
porting, the players went to Mexico at
a double salary. AS a result, Tom lost
the pennant by one game.
1t seems a shame that nothing can
be done to remedy the situation. We
sympathize with the players because
they have to get their money where
and when the opportunity presents it
self. Each year the League votes for
less publicity for that reason, whatever
happens they are partially if not fully
to blame.
MORE PUBLICITY NEEDED
"Gus P. Fan" will not become inter
ested unless he has records to go by.
The whole National League together
can't give out a complete record Of a
single player. There isn't the first Off
cial scorer, and until there is, the
league will never be organized. As in
the past the league will be regarded by
the majors as semi-pros, unless things
are remedied. We say, vote for more
publicity and official scorers.
The deadline is swiftly approaching
fellows, so get those letters in here at
once-until then-LEFTY.

of six fnalists swept up the 1871
A.A.U. indoor track and field cham
pionship go I'd. dash here last week at
the Madison Square Garden.
John Bcrican, fresh from his half
mile record, came back to win the
A.A.U 1000 yd. crown in 2:11.5, new
A.A.U. indoor mark.
James B. Herbert, still making a
gallant comeback, scored a photo-fnish
500 I'd. run triumph over Charles
Beetham in 1:12s fat.
Mel Walker, champion of the high
jump, continued undefeated, winning
the A.A.U. crown here at Sc IL.
Lieutenant John Y. Woodruff, rep
resenting the 368th Regiment, took a
spill on the boards but his sprint med
ley relay team placed fourth.
Herb Thompson won the 60 yard
dash in 81 seconds to equal the A.A.U.
record and wrest the crown from Mezel
Ellerbe. The all colored finish was
Thompson, Barney Ewell, Ellerbe,
Eulace Peacock, Leo Tarrant and
Tommy East, in that order.

YOUTH PROJECT

Speaking of Cambridge, l was in
the University City this week to see
Ralph "Stoady" Ward, race super
visor in this state.
Ward is a local boy and a graduate
of Rindge Tech where he starred in
baseball and football. After school
most fans knew Steady as a cracker
jack ball player for the Boston Tigers
Philly Giants, Brooklyn Royals, Penn
Red Caps, Lincoln Giants and other
fast-felding hard-hitting clubs.
Baseball is still an important topic
with Ward who has been a physical
instructor now for six years and is
married to a pretty girl named Marie.
Joe Cronin's kid is all right, but Stoady
Ward Jr. is fast around second.
Giving much of the credit to his
assistance Ward actually has built IN
a recreation system that many of our
leaders might we'll study.

Monarchs Defeat
Panthers 1880
Crossons Take Spears

Ruggles Hall was the scene of two
outstanding basketball games on the
holiday as one of the largest crowds
of the season found much to cheer
during the contests.
The fast stepping Crossons, of Cam
bridge, outclassed the Spears in the
preliminary after a very close first
half. The Spears, who had just re-
turned from R. l., having played the
Commanders the night before, faded
quickly after the third period and were
no match for the swift moving Cam
tabs in the final stanza. 1t was an in
teresting game to the final whistle,
however, as the Cambridge team kept
the crowd at high pitch with its fast
and clever passing and accurate shoot
ing.
The main game brought together the
Monarchs, of Wakefield, R. l., one of
the best amateur aggregations to show
itself in the Hub this season and the
Panthers, who were playing their first
game of the current campaign. The
game was close all the way, having
been tied on two occasions during the
SSCouu HAL. 1uS Hldily WIN Adu SdIu-
cred for the holidy attraction expressed
their delight over and over again dur
ing the contest by generous applause
and loud cheering.
1t was announced that these two
teams will meet again on March 8 in
Rhode Island. Arrangements have
been made by the Panther manage
ment to accommodate those who would
like to make the trip to see the replay
between these two outfits. For fur

tor at the Shaw House.

bert Harmon who took the lead. After
passing the thirty yards mark Edward
was running at top speed and in the
remaining fifteen yards he caught and
just passed his brother as they went
over the final almost together. 1t was
a gallant finish and gave st. Bar
tholomew's the first two places in the
event.
RELAYISTS CINCH TROPHY
RUN BEST TIME
With the winning of the dash the
st. BIS needed but a second place in
the relay to assure themselves of VIC
tory. This was because of the widely
distribution of points among the vari-
Gus church teams. No other team had
concentrated their winning in any
single event as the Harmon brothers
had for theirs, thus the points were
scattered.
The relays were determined by time
since there were so many teams COM
peting. With three teams in each
race, St. Bartholomew was pitted
against Trinity, of Somerville, and st.
Mary's, of Brookline. The team of
Albert Harmon, Cyril Burke, Clifton
Moore and Edward Harmon, running
in that order, turned in a lie for the
best time and were returned winner of
the event.
WARNER, GILMORE, NJ. MOORE
SHOW WELL
Eugene Gilmore, who took a fourth
place tie in the standing broad jump,
and George Warner, who just failed
to place in the dash finals, both showed
we'll in the class 4 competition. In
their relay race, with Martin Moore, as
one of their teammates, they again
showed well as they turned in the time
of 1.20.3
