EUeLeth Knocks Tourney
FdUOrite Out of the
Running, 1928.
Sensational Upset EUens
ELy's Performance of
TICO Years Ago.

In March Of 1899 Memorial highs
basketball team entered the district q
tournament with ten defeats and one
win placing it at the bottom Of the
district standings
The club was paired against EYeleth,
next TO the cellar but with a record
Of eight losses and three victories Eve
leth had defeated Ely twice that sea-
son, 25-24 and 27-l7
No one gave Ely much of chance
to defeat the Hill Top boys, but they
pulled through the tournaments pre-
liminary game with an exciting upset,
1927.
That made everybody at Ely feel
pretty good, and the following even
ing when Coach Ed Buckley's gang took
on the high-pressure Virginia crew a
good share Of Ely was on hand to wit
ness the contest. Memorial high put
up a tough fight but suecumbed, 36-17.
Wei, last week. Eveleth, after sur
viving the initial tourney game against
International Falls, had a golden op-
portunity for revenge, and Coach
George E Lee drank deep Of the
sweet cup.
Eveleth, defeated twice by Ely dur
ing the present season, wasn't given
much Of a chance against the dis
trict's third-place winners and one OF
the tournament favorites But that
didn't stop them a bit They went to
work on the Vermilion range club, and
came out on top with a stunning 33-
% triumph.
After that sensational performance
everyone at Eveleth felt like everyone
at Ely had two years before, pretty |
good, and everybody at Ely had chance |
to taste some Of the medicine swallowed |
by the Eveleth people in 1899.
And so goes basketball, a great game /
when you win but the butt Of various
degrees Of abuse, depending on your
temperament, when you lose.
The Eveleth cagers couldn't miss
against Ely. They were definitely ION"
as much as Ely was of" They
played great game and won an upset
that was one Of the most breath-taking
ever recorded at a district meet.
The Ely boys were jittery from the
start. They shot just like they had
al season, but without the same re-
suits. They passed just the same, but
too often an Eveleth man was in the
way. They went after the rebounds
Just the same, but their opponents go.

The game was lost. Playing brilliantly,

And so ended one Of the best cam
caigns staged by Memorial high for
i've or six years. But another is but
a few months away, and there will
be plenty Of opportunity to ges re-
venge for the district tournament de-
feat.

LeSnevich Manager
 Spurns NBA Group

New York. Jan. 15-(UP)-Gus Lesnevich, Paterson, N. J., claimant to the light heavyweight boxing title, will meet the winner of the Feb. 27 Tommy Tucker Jimmy Webb bout in Madison Square Garden for crack at Billy's Conn's New York State version of the crown, Joe Bella, manager of Lesnevich said today.
 The National Boxing Association awarded the light-heavyweight title to Anton Christoforidis, Greek boxer, following his victory over Melio Bettina. of Beacon, N. Y, in Cleve- land, Monday night. According to an N. B. A. ruling, Christoforidis was to meet Lesnevich within 60 days for "undisputed" possession of the title.
 However, Bella said he had wired N. B. A. President Joe Triner last night that he did not recognize Christoforidis and it was to Lesne- vich's best interests to meet the winner of the Tucker Webb bout.

Firpo Discovers 'YoungWild Bun,'| 222, Six Feet }
BY HERMAN H. LARGER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Buenos Aires, Jan. 14-(UP)- Luis Angel Firpo has discovered a young wild bull of the Pampas."
 Firpo-who knocked Jack Demp- sey out of the ring IT years ago in pugiliSms most thrilling brawl- predicts that his discovery, Young Abel Cestac, will be heavyweight champion of the world within three years.
 Cestac, big, handsome Argentine cowboy, is but an amateur with only four bouts under his belt. However, the enthused Firpo declares that Cestac is a better boxer and more deadly puncher than even he (Fir- pol was in his prime.
 After watching Cestac Stitten his sparmates and win all four bouts by knockouts, Firpo said delighted ly, He is the only man ever call Wild Bull besides myself"
 Young Giant.
 Cestao, dark haired and beauti- fully proportioned, packs 222 pounds on six-foot three-inch beam. His hands are larger even than the original Wild Bulls" huge meat hooks. Firpo claims you can hit Abel on the chin with an axe "an" it no hurt heem." But the fans don't know yet whether Angels discovery can take it because none of his four opponents ever got close enough to find out-after that thun- dering right connected with. their jaws.
 Cestac is 2 years old and learning fast. Big, jovial Firpo has had him under his wing since July, when he found Cestac wrestling with steer and giving the animal the worst of it.
 Firpo is now a big-time rancher on the Pampas. He owns ranch F miles square stocked with 5000 cattle, 4,000 sheep and 400 horses. Casares and spends most of his time Firpo lives at this ranch in Carlos in the saddle, coming to Buenos Aires occasionally for business.
 Man vs. Steer.
 It seems that Luis Angel was rid ing past another ranch one cool day last July. He explains that he saw a cloud of dust on the horizon, so he rode voer to investigate. He surprised a youthful giant roughing it up with a full grown and bellig- erent steer. Luis wanted to know why the youngster wrestled with the steer, instead of testing his prwoess with men. And, Abel, he say thees men he knows are not so strong to give him fun, but the steer, he is strong. Sol say maybe you would like job on my rancho-yes? An I will show you how to make mon- ee having fun-flghting. Abel, he theenks I'm keeding about the mon-ee for fun, but he say hokay." :"
 Firpo figures that the "Young Bull" will be ready for competi- ton in the United States in another year. Meanwhile, he will keep Cestac busy training at the ranch and fighting in Buenos Aires. Firpo may visit New York next month, but without his protege. He is plan- ming a business trip, his first to New York since 1924 when he fought Harry Wills.

ATHLETICS SEEM DOOMED AGAIN
 TO AL. CELLAR
Few Good Newcomers to
 Join Connie Mack; Nc - Coy of the Spot"
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff COrrespOndentl

New York, Jan. 14-(UP)-For the past six years the Philadelphia Ath- leticS have been the most consistent club in the American League. That's why they are quite likely to finish last again in 1941.
 From 1885 through 1940 the Ath- letics' victories have ranged between B and 58 each season. Their top percentage has been .389 and their low .346 during that period. Four times they've finished eighth and twice seventh.
 There's nothing in the 1941 Phil ade.phia material to indicate that the As are going any place this sea- son. Connie Mack has done a bit of house-cleaning, getting rid of such players as Bill Lillard, Joe Gantenbein, Al Rubeling, Bill Nagle. George Caster, Ed Heusser, Eric Tip ton and Dario Lodigiani, but his re- placements aren't anything to write home about. In fact, it's doubtful if more than three or four of the new crop will add anything to the As.
 Perhaps the best9of the newcom- CTS is Pete Suder, a 23-year- third baseman who hit .301 for the Bing- hamton Eastern League club. He is expected to take over the hot cor ner, where four men failed last sea- son. Eddie Collins, Jr., son of the great Athletics-White Sox second baseman, comes up from Baltimore to bid for berth in the outfield. He is fast and may have future. He hit .293 laet season. The best of the other rockies are two right-handed pitchers from Toronto, Phil Marchil- don and Lester McCrabb. Marchil- don won 10 and lost 13 and McCrabb won g and lost II.
 Suder At Third
 The As infield is likely to line up with Dick Siebert at first, Benny Mccoy at second, Fred Chapman or Al Brancato at short, and Rookie Pete Suder at third. Mack believes Mccoy will be better ball player this season with the pressure off. If he doesn't improve his job is likely to go to Crash Davis, who came up last season from Duke university If Suder fails at third. the only other third sacker available is Bob Kahle from Hollywood.
 Last years outfield of Bob John- son in left, Sam Chapman in center and Wally Moses in right probably will remain intact since it's the best department on the club. The re- placements will be Dee Miles, rookie Collins and the vet Al Simmons who also serves as a coach.
 The As three best pitchers last season were Johnny Babich, Bill Beckman and Nelson Potter. Ina trio is likely to do the As bes pitching again this season with som, help from Chubby Dean, who pitch
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-15

ed a brilliant game against the Tanks last April and then faded badly. Dean is now a married man and Mack believes the added respon- sibili y will bring out the best in him which is good enough for the majors.
 Herman Besse, who came up from Memphis last season highly-touted is also expected to come around. He was the majors worst pitcher lasi season, having the highest earned run average (8.83) for pitchers who worked in as many as 45 innings. Jack Knott, who came to the As from the White Sox in the Dario Lo- digiani deal, also is counted on in the pitching picture. Two other l holdovers are Lee Ross, and Porter | Vaughn, the rookie lefthander who 1 should be a winner if he masters control. Others who will bid for berths besides the two Toronto rock ies, Marchildon and McCrabb, are Luman Harris from Atlanta, Rankin Johnson from midland (East Texas League) and Tom Ferrick, who was ligned last fall after he had pitched fine game for the Brooklyn Bush
 wicks against Bucky Walters all-
 Stars. (TOmOrrOw: The Boston Red S0x)

Rizzuto, Priddy Will Have To Win Jobs With N. Y. Yankees

New York, Jan. 15-(UP)-Man- ager Joe Mccarthy of the New York Yankees said today that his club was considerably stronger this year and that pitching was the only uncertain spot.
 In town for the dinner given by the baseball writers for the Stevens brothers, concessionaries at the local ball parks, Mccarthy said that he planned to start the spring training season with the regular Yankee in- field of Dahlgren, Gordon, Crosetti and Rolfe.
 There will be no sudden changes in the infield," he said. I'm gonig to take it easy and if youngters like Priddy, RiZZuto and Sturm can win the jobs, they'll have to do it on the field"
 Referring to his pitching worries, Mccarthy said that lot depended on the youngsters.
 Still Has Hope
 T haven't quit On Gomez, who showed enough at times to indicate he can still win. The same goes for ruff1ng."
 Mccarthy said he expected some of his players who had bad seasons last year like Dickey, Keller and Rolfe, to make comebacks.
 "Dickey shouldn't be through" added Mccarthy. He hit hard enough toward the ned of the sea- son to indicate that he may come back. I expect Keller to rebound from his poor year and Rolfe's whole trouble may have been his health.
 Although I think our club will be stronger, I won't predict any pen- nant for the Yankees. The Cleve- land Indians will be stronger ard the Detroit Tigers will have plenty of power. The added experience of Boudreau and Mack and the addi- tion of Gerald Walker and Jim Bagby should help Cleveland"
