Chase VS.. CLOCK
YEADS TRIPLE
HOOP PROGRAM

First place clubs in the current
Dusty Basketball League, Chase
Brass and Copper and Waterbury
Tool, will be seen in action tonight
on the three-game slate to be offer
ed at the Central "Y".
However, Tool and Chase will not
oppose each other. The Watcos are
listed for a o'clock engagement
with Bristol Company, while
Chase takes on the scrappy Inger-
soil combine in the $3.50 feature. At

result of moving one of the games
slated for Sunday over until this
evening. Starting on January S.
Dusty League officials will do away
with the Tuesday night games and
book two contests and dancing on
Wednesdays throughout the bal
ance of the season.

an interesting tussle, but only after
q real fight from start to finish.
Heighth was an important factor in
the Tool triumph, Big Bill Sweeney,
Larry Bulette, Eddie Stanley and
Andy York preventing the Checkers
from securing possession of foll-up
shots and thus halting the Inger-
soil attack.
No "Cinch"
Chase expects a stiff argument
from Clock tonight. Coach Alden
White does not hold the Ingersoll
team lightly. "Clock has a scrappy
outfit with two good scorers in Ga
lullo and Goodwin. We expect
plenty of opposition from George
Graham's boys" said Mr.. White to-
day in discussing the battle tonight.
Koch, McDermott, Pomponio,
Karpavich, Travers and Riccuiti
will carry the brunt of the bonn
bardment for Chase in the headline
tilt. Clock has Benson, Muleski, Ro-
berts, Johnston, Greene and the
Oman duo of Galullo and Good
win.
Buster Bill Brennan, manager of
Chase, will scout the Tool outfit in
the opener against Bristol Com
pany tonight. The Watcos are heavy
favorites to triumph. Seth Thomas
Clock rates the edge over Button in

respectively in the earned run table
for pitchers who competed in 10
or more complete games. This is
the first time in the 80 years that
earned runs have been a part Of
National league statistics that three
pitchers from one club have held
the first three positions.
Pollet led the circuit with a mark
of Its, the lowest since Carl Hub
bells 166 in 1888. Lanier had a 100
and Cooper. 220.
The Cards also had the number
one and two positions for pitchers
in less than 10 complete games,
which gave them the distinction Of
having five pitchers with the low
est earned run averages in the
league. Alpha Brazle posted 1.53
and Harry Brecheen had 2.27.
Brazle and Brecheen were rockies.
Other pitching features Of the

season, 10 games, starting Aug. IL
and completing the season with his
Skein intact.

New Orleans, Dec. 28-(UP)-
Phil Terranova of New York re-
tanned his world featherWeight title
today because he is the only boxer
who ever has been able to stop
Jackie Callura Of Hamilton, Ont,
short of the scheduled distance for
a bout.
Terranova won technical knock
out in the sixth round of their fight
in the Coliseum last night to bear
out the support of the 1000 fans
who had made him ! to 2 odds on
favorite. 1t was the third time he
had stopped Callura and he accom-
plished the job by jabbing him re-
dentlessly with hard body and head
punches.
Callura, generally a durable little
guy ableto absorb heap of punish
ment was felled four times fol
counts in the sixth round before
Referee Eddie Coulon stopped the
bout, just as the fighters second
was winding up to toss in the towel
Fresh at Finish
Callura's best rounds were the
second and fifth, which were scored
even while Terranova took all Of
the others. Whenever the Cana
dian went on the offensive, Ter
ranova utilized sidestepping tech
nique to good advantage and was
abe to fend off the most destructive
punches. He appeared ase fresh at
the finish as at the start.
The blow which set Callura down
for the last time was a crushing
right to his chin which dropped
him fiat on his back. Though he
started to rise on the count,
Referee Coulon called it off.
Terranova weighed 1881, Cal
