Recreation League Notes

The league leading Yankees met their Waterloo in the form of three game pasting at the hands of the Tigers who were paced by Jumping Jimmy Barber. their cap tain. The Braves helped to com plicate the records by trimming the As two games. The Red SOx didn't help the staticians any by beating the Giants and along came the Pirates who sobatoged the standing by whipping the second place Cubs. All in all it is a merry scramble with Milt Wynn calling in all the experts for advice and up to press hour they couldn't decide who was first in the team standing. Four more weeks to go and the race is so close that three game defeat will send the first place teams into. a tie for last place. It sure is the closest and most unpredictable race in Recreation League history.
 The for sale sign goes up again for the Yankees who lost the lead among the cheers of the other 35 bowlers in the league. Geezy Mo- Gurk, their manager, will take any reasonable offer and it doesn't have to be much for any one of these so called bowlers. In fact the boys are asking for Congressional Investi- gation because they can't under stand why such pack of has-been bowlerS led the league even for week.

Valley Tourney
 Drawing Tonight

Five more teams entered the Naugatuck Valley basketball cham pionships that begin at the Boys Club tomorrow evening. At an ear- ly hour last night the Oakville All- Stars, Lehigh Fuel, Naugatuck Ad- mirals, River A. c. of Torrington and the Northend Spartans are en- tered their team in the competi- ton.
 Drawings will be held this eve- ming at 8 o'clock in the Boys Club library. The deadline for entrance will be reached when MT. Johnson officially opens the meeting of the team managers at that hour. The entrance of the Rivers of Torring- ton brings the runnerup into the fold but so far no word has been heard from the teams that have been making all the commotion about playoffs for sectional hon. ors. At the present moment none of the previous winners have entered but 1t is generally thought that the St. Joseph Holy Name quintet and the Pond Aces will be in the fold before the deadline Is reached this evening. No word has been heard concerning the st. Thomas team winners in 1889.

COURT RIVALS MEET TONIGHT IN CRUCIAL GO Capacity Crowd Expected; Gents and Hearts in
 PreIim

The largest crowd to witness basketball game this year at the Washington Park Community house is expected tonight when the un- defeated Loew-Poli cagers take on Sid MontiS Baldwin Props in the feature game of a twin bill. Tn the 7:3O o'clock game the Gents of the Hill will meet the Sacred Hearts. The Poli team went through the first round undefeated and was the only team to hand the Props set- back. Both teams are undefeated to date in the second round, which should make tonight'S battle one of the greatest ever played at the Hill court. Since being handed the Set- back by the Poli team, the Props have played much better ball and are given an even chance of being the first team in the league to hand the defending champs trimming.

Last night the Raiders defeated the Clowns to gain possession of the second round championship in the Intermediate League at the Brooklyn "Y." The Clowns were winners of the first round and now with the Raiders in possession of second round honors there must be a playoff which promises plenty of thrills due to the fact the Raiders defeated the Clowns by the same score as they were defeated in the first round playof.
 The "Y" was filled to it's capacity last night which started with the Raiders first to score but two quick hoops scored by the Clowns put them in the game to lead at the end of the first quarter. It was 8 tie game at the half but the Raiders gained lead.0of 4 points at the end of the third quarter. The Raiders took advantage of this lead to finish the game 29-20 in their favor.

PITTSBURGH TEAM
 AT ARENA SUNDAY

New Haven, Feb. 28.-From all in- dications at present, the first place occupant in the eastern division of the American Hockey League when the season closes on March 16 may not be decided until that night, and the chances of a deadlock are not remote.
 The New Haven Eagles will at tempt to take over first place with a brace of week end games, the att traction Sunday night at the Arena being the Pittsburgh Hornets. On Saturday night the Birds are down in Hershey against the Bears.
 This will be the last appearance of the Hornets here in regular league play. and as it stands now, New Haven has won three times over the Smoky City crowd, while losing twice.
 Lloyd Roubell, former New Haven who is one of the leagues leading scorers, will be in Pittsburgh uni- form.
 George Mantha. Polly Drouin and Connie Tudin joined the Eagles last night at Buffalo, and should prove big help in the play-offs.

IAMBERS TO MAKE LAST STAND AS BIC TIME BOXER
Jenkins 6 to 5. Choice to Score Second Knockout
 Over Ex- Champion
BY LACK CuDDY

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Feb. 28-(UP)- Red lights and beef may assist Lou Am- bers tonight in his comeback quest for vengeance against lightweight champion Lew Jenkins in jammed Madison Square Garden.
 Red lights atop the ring posts will flow protectively between rounds as Ambers, strengthened by five pounds Of flesh, seeks satisfaction from the scrawny Texan who tagged him with his first kayo and took away his title last May.
 No post-lgihts cast their rounds end warning when Jenkins smashed the "Herkimer Hurricane" twice on the chin after the bell rang, con- cluding the second round. But the commission ordered them 8 few days later, "so fighters can s-e-e that the round is ended, even if they can't hear"
 Welter Now
 Alnbers contended that those two illegal blows dressed him for the "kill"-for the technical knockout that came in the third round.
 After l0-month lay-off, Ambers returns to the Garden as a welter- weight, for tonight's 10-round non- title tilt, and heartened by the knowledge that Jenkins will be dis qualified if he attempts any red- light punching.
 However, neither bulbs nor beet have influenced the betting men Price-maker Eddie Borden quotes Jenkins a 1895 favorite to win, and 6-5 that he kayoeS the Herkimer, N. Y, Italian again.
 Jenkins is favored largely because of his youth and terrific punch. In their first bout, he floored rugged AmberS four times, two of the car- vas trips coming in the first and second sessions-before the illegal bows were struck. Sharp-eyed men of 18th street see no reason why the 24-year-old Texan can't repeat against 27-year -old Ambers, who may be ring-rusty after his long lay-off-a lay-off tempered by only one tuneup bout.
 On Edge
 The champion has been fairly busy since belting out Ambers. He fought three welterweights, with mediocre success, and retained his title on second-round knockout over Pete Lello. Tn his welterwegiht scraps, Jenkins was stopped by Hen- ry Armstrong in the sixth round He won close 10-round decision over Bob Montgomery, and fought 1O-round draw with champion Fritzie Zivic. This competition ap- parently sharpened the Texan, be- cause he was impressive in train- ing for tonights engagement.
 Meanwhile, Ambers had but one tune-up, winning an easy 10-rouno decision over Norment Quarles al Hartford, Con-, Feb. IA. Most ob- servers thought the ex-champ look ed good in that bout, but minority differed. Tn training for Jenkins Ambers was not impressive-but he never was a brilliant gymnasium performer.

CONN STOPS NEGRO
 IN 'TUNE-UP' GO

Clarksburg, w. Va, Feb. 28.-(UP) Billy Conn, light-heavyweight champion, scored technical knock cut over Ira Hughes, Pittsburg ne- gro, at Carmichael auditorium last night in the first of several non- title "tune-up" bouts by the cham pion before he meets Joe Louis in June.
 Forcing the Negro to retreat con- stantly before his stiff left jab, Conn bored in midway in the 4th with lefts and right to the body that had Hughes almost out on his feet. Referee Gosnee stopped the bout after a conference with the seconds. Conn weighed 180; Hughes 179.
 About 1,200 attended the show sponsored by the Clarkesburg Fra ternal Order of Police.

Mann Loses Slow

Detroit, Fab. 28.-(UP)-Gus Les nevich, Cliffside, N. J., heavyweight today had waning hope of cham pionship bout with Joe Louis.
 Lesnevich scored a 10-round de. cision over Nathan Mann last night before 4,166 fans in such unimpres. sive fashion that it drew boos and catcalls from the crowd. It was the New Jersey fighters fifth victory as a heavyweight since he lost tc Billy Conn in the same ring last summer in a lght-heavyweight title bout.
 Few solid blows were landed in the fight although Lesnevich did make his opponents nose bleed in the fourth and opened a cut over his left eye two rounds later. Lesne- vich weight 181, Mann 187 IA.
