Clark fell before Southern $3.50 in

to N. C. State again Saturday 61-

The tournament was staged on a

an eye, Simon was down in sit

count of nine.
Anxious to end the fight, the
Brown Bomber poured rights and
lefts on the tough body of old Abe
and next thing the folk knew, the
giant boxer was on the floor again.
He rolled over and slowly raised
himself. A handler threw bucket
Of water on him.
Simon was on his feet again at
the count of eight. Joe was ready
to start drilling again. But Simon
had enough. He turned his back
to the champ, waved his hand at
the referee and walked to his
stool.
Louis almost slipped to the floor

Simon was a tough man. Louis

ever fought" he declared after the
fight.
Simon took plenty of punishment
and now and then landed an ef-
fective blow. But most Of the time
he was holding on to Joe or,

TWO-DAY TOURNAMENT
BY r. nj. DAVIS

CHICAGO = (ANP) - Both the
Harlem Globe Trotters and the
New York R,ens will have to wait
until March of 1912 before either
can again hope to wear the crown
of official worlds professional bas-
ketball champions. That honor
went Wednesday night to the white
Detroit Eagles in the final game
before 10000 spectators at the In
ternational amphitheatre. The
Rens did save third place by drub-
bing the mixed Toledo White Huts,
81 to AZ, in what developed into
contest between Dolly King and
Chuck Chuckovits.
Detroit Won the title by topping
Oshkosh, Wis, SO to 81 after pre-
viously nosing out the Rens, 43 to
AZ, Tuesday night, and taking the
Trotters, 81 to 36, Sunday night.
The Motor City quintet therefore
performed the unbelievable feat Of
trouncing the two greatest Negro
teams in basketball as well as the
champions Of the National league,
Oshkosh, which had eliminated on
Monday night the great American
league kingpins, the Philadelphia
Hebrews, 80 to 81. Detroit, Incl
dentally, had consistently lost all
season to the Rens, Trotters and
Oshkosh.

Down twice in the 18th before
the round was more than a min.
ute old, the big New Yorker turn
ed his back to Louis and walked
to the ropes, indicating that he'd
had enough of the champions
hard and solid punches.
Honest Abe was down once ir
the first and again in the third.
His decision to quit the ring,
automatically gave Louis the vic.
tory by the technical knockout
route after one minute and 80
seconds of the 18th round.
1t was announced shortly after
the fight that Louis and Simon
would meet again in a return
bout on May 16.
Unable to keep the rugged
boxer down in the early rounds.
Louis coasted up to the eleventh
at which point he made another
desperate effort to end the fight
which was scheduled to go 20
rounds.
Joe thought he had finished his
man in the 18th frame. SO sure
was he of knockout, he walked
to a neutral corner after landing
one of his hardest blows. But
tough Abe was still standing up
after he had bounced off the
ropes.
The champ started anew in the
18th and if it had not been for the
ropes, Simon would have been sit
ting in the laps of some of the
front-row spectators. But the ropes
saved him from humiliation,
bouncing him back into the center
of the ring.
Joe must have been mad in the
18th. At the bell, he tore into his

until the final moments, lost be-
cause they committed "a personal
fouls and neither Sonny Boswell
nor Bernie Price could find the
basket. The Rens, behind until
the last 80 seconds, lost because
they mllffed nine free throws and
admittedly the most dazzling pass
ers in the game, couldn't control
the sphere a half minute on a
throw-in from out of bounds.
The Rens, frankly, looked tight
ened up as the game began and
Detroit led at the end of the first
quarter, 13 to 10. During the en-
tire second quarter no New. Yorker
made field basket although five
free shots We're made and the
Eagles were ahead, "a to Is, at in
termission. But in the third period,
the Rens got going and rang up
eight two-pointers, three of them
by Puggy Bell. Tarzan Cooper
went out on personals due to his
efforts to stop giant Ed Sadowski,

center who garnered 16 points.

Playing brilliant ball that final
10 minutes, the Rens crept closer
and as the crowd yelled itself
hoarse, Pop Gates looped in a bril-
liant one hand toss to put the New
Workers in front. AZ to Al, with just
as seconds to go. Gates was fouled

Anxious to grab the ball. Detroit
committed another foul. Again the
Rens took it outside. Now there
were only 80 seconds to go. In
went Capt Eyre Saitch and Willie
Smith, dazzling defense men. Into
play, went the leather, flying from
one brown hand to another. Sud-
denly there was a flash of white
fingers. AS the crowd gasped, Bud
Jeanette of the Eagles stole the
ball and dribbled madly down the
floor, a Rem in wild pursuit, to
flip the final two points. Jeannette
was fouled and Detroit carried the
sphere out with 10 seconds to go.

MISSED 8 OF Is FOUL SHOTS E
. Although the officiating was def
initely pro-Eagle, the Rens still
must blame themselves for the loss.
Their. total of nine free throws
missed out of Is tries, is an almost
unheard-of mark for this great
team. Pop Gates alone failed on
five, Smith on two and Bell and
King one each. Scoring star for
the losers was Wilmeth Sidat-
Singh who had five baskets and
one free toss for II points.
KING-CHuCKOvITS DUEI.
The Toledo quint was ahead at
the end of the first quarter, IL to
10 against the Rens, but the Rens
turned on the heat to lead at the
half, 28 to q, and at the start of
the fourth quarter, 46 to 26.. BY
this time the personal duel between
King and Chuckovits was the point
of interest. The Toledo sensation
had already broken the tourna-
nent record for total points and
was cunning for a new one-game
total of 25. So the White Huts
tried to feed the sphere to Chuck
while the Rens sought to give Dol
ly open shots at the basket. The
game ended with King having %
points on 10 baskets, five of them
in the third, and three free throws
while the Ohio white boy had a
like total on eight field shots and
seven conversions. The Rens won
57-52.
Zack Clayton was second-high
for the Rens with IL points on six
baskets while Jimmy Johnson was
next for Toledo with II points on
five floor shots and one free toss.
BY comparison with the Detroit
game, the Rens missed only three
free throws out of nine chances.
However, the tournament stiH
leaves unanswered the problem Of
which is the better team, the Rens
or Trotters. Both lost by one point
to Detroit, the champions, and in
their only two previous meetings
each has won close victory. They
are scheduled to play at the Col
legie All Star Oshkosh game next
November.
