At the opening of that period, Michael son put five consecutive shots thru the hoop in a space of about two minutes to put Finance in the lead.

 Time and again the Pratt & Whitney men would drive down the floor to what looked like certain baskets but Johnson, Gutkowsh and LoCicero broke up the most intricate plays. E. Johnson, a new conner to the team, sank several spectacular shots and his floor play was of the highest caliber.

TWILIGHT FOR THE TAR BABY

Sam Langford sits all day long in a broken wicker chair in Harlem and listens to the radio. In the morning the sun streams through the window of his dingy hall bed room and sun slants fall across his face. But Sam doesn't know if the sun is out or not because the thou sands or punches he once absorbed in the ring have left him blind in both eyes.
 Sam gets a few dollars a month from a foundation for the blind. It's really not enough. to live on, but he gets along. He gets up early every morning and couple of small fry who live down the street lead him into a restaurant for breakfast. The kids lead him back to his room about 10 o'clock in the morning and Sam just sits there in the dark until six when he goes out and eats again.
 It's a pretty dreary twilight for the old Boston Tar Baby, one of the greatest prize fighters the ring has ever known. A hall bedroom in Harlem is a far cry from packed house in the Boston Garden, where thousands of people once turned out to see Sam beat the great Joe Cans.
 Sam weighed 135 pounds for that fight and Cans weighed 132. Lang ford scaled 148 the night he lost a split decision to 194 pound Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion of the world, but he gave Johnson such a battle that the champion never would fight Langford again.
 Sam started to lose his eyesight when he was Il years old and a pail of lime spilled over his head. He lost the sight of his left eye en- tirely in 1917 during fight with Fred Fulton. He fought the next seven years with one eye, then a cataract grew over that one and he moved out of the ring and into the twilight. Sam had had his day in the sun and there was nothing left for him but a dingy hall bedroom in Harlem.
 Maybe you think that Sam is de- pressed by all this, but he isn't. He's pretty cheerful, in fact. Hes happy and proud when people come to call on him and he tells them funny stories about his days in the ring. He won't tell any of those other stories that aren't very fun ny.
 A month or so ago New York newspaper reporter uncovered Sam up in Harlem and wrote piece about him for his paper. One of the big news syndicates picked up the story and piped it all over the country. Pretty soon dollar bills and quarters and dimes started to come in for Sam from Detroit, and New Orleans, and San Francisco, and Meat Hook, Ohio, and everywhere else. In a couple of weeks there were enough dollars and quarters and dimes in the till to provide Sam with a few of the comforts of life for a while.
 When they told Sam about the money he was going to get, he strengthened up in his chair and grinned. "Most folks is good folks," he said. eff I had my eyes back, I'd cry"
