ST..PAUL'S WINS
YMCA CAGE TITLE
Saturday Night League
Team Defeats Thurs
day Night Leaguers

St. Paul's Episcopalian White
Phantoms continued their victory
march last night before a capacity
crowd, on the YMCA court by de-
feating the highly tutored First
Presbyterian basketball quintet
4O-25, to win the championship in
the 'Y' church league. This was
St. PauPs tenth consecutive vic
tory with no defeats to mar their
record.
When four minutes of the first
quarter had elapsed, the score
tailed lowly %. Shortly after,
however, things started to roll.
The Phantoms held an "a advan.
tage at the end of the first quarter
and rampaged to a 2O-4 half-time
score. The Episcopa1ians were not
to be slowed until after the half,
when the Presbyterians found their
mark, but the Phantoms held too
much OF an advantage for the un.
derdogs to catch up.
Play was fast and furious during
the last half; both teams were
tossing 'em in from every angle.
Leading the Phantom attack was
flashy "Weinnie' Brown, who tai
lied 13 points. Billy 'Hookshot'
Lee, slim Phantom center. racked
up 16 points to capture high scor.
ing honors.
Leroy Towles, deceptive Presby-
terrain guard, was high man for
the losers with eight markers.
Proceeding the Phantom-Pres-
byterian clash, the favored Glass
"a All-stars from the Saturday
Night church league defeated the
All-Stars from the Thursday Night
league 1926.
The "a" squad, eaptained by
capable Irwin Hands Bobbitt OF
Grace Methodist church, came
from behind a 1873 half-time adj
vantage held by the Thursday
Nighters to win the title.
High scorer for the Class "A''
team was Bobbitt with IA, followed
by Morris, Class "B' guard,
with II.

Complete Ignorance
OF Cageman's Status

NEW YORK, March 13- W.n) -
A dean of Brooklyn College testi-
fled today that school authorities
had no idea Larry Pearlstein, a
member Of the basketball team,
was not a student until the day
after he and four other players adj
n1itted accepting a bride to throw
a game.
Dean Frederick w. Maroney,
testifying at the open hearing into
basketball gambling, said he did
not become suspicious until he re-
quested Pearlstein's college record
and none could be found.
He had talked to Pearlstein and
four other players on January 80,

AMERICAN LOOP
HOPES TO SAVE
MANY MAN MILES
Season Opens With April
18th Curtain Raiser
In Washington
BY JERRY LISKA

CHICAGO, March Is H. The
American League will play a Gus
tomary 154-game schedule for it's
fourth wartime season, but expects
to wind up with considerable
saving of man miles" over 1914,
President Will Harridge said today.
The league season will open April
Is as New York faces Washington
In the traditional curtain-raiser in
the nations capital and will close
September 30 with II road games
and n home games for each club.
In addition to the great travel
saving from cancellation of the ma
jor league all-star game, Harridge
said, the American League hopes
to conserve numerous man.miles
by having individual clubs use skel.
etonized squads on short jumps.
1t also plans to keep umpires in
each city longer than the usual
maximum stay of two series per
appearance. AS has been the prac-
tice since 1913, the league will have
only three complete east-west pir-
OTIS instead of the customary four.
The schedule includes 100 night
games, compared with the 1914 to.
tai of 1873 which also included war
relief contests. The champion St.
Louis Browns lead in the mum.
Der Of night games with 43, while
the Senators, who last year had
43, will play only IS in 1945. The
three other clubs with arclights-
Chicago. Cleveland and Philadel-
phia-will play IA each.
"As the season progresses, Har-
ridge said, I'VE may be able to
drop games here and there with
the aim Of saving mileage.
'All our clubs have been asked
to trim their rosters when they
make short jumps. The Office of
Defense Transportation has en-
phasized that even if only one play
er is left behind it will be helpful"
Another bulletin will be sent to
the clubs before the season starts,
he said, asking them to keep
transportation conservation records
which will be sent to Washington
after the season.
All clubs will have II home Sum
day dates excepting Washington,
which will have II. The lineup of
holiday doubls-headers at home is
Chicago, July 4; st. Louis, July 4;
Detroit, July 4, Labor Day; Cleve-
lend, July 4, Labor Day; Wash
ington, Memorial Day; Philadel-
phia, Memorial Day, Labor Day;
New York, Memorial Day; and
Boston, Memorial Day. Labor Day.
Whether the American League
will be able to play its 94.game
exhibition schedule depends much
on the outcome Of a conference
Thursday between ODT officials
and Harridge and President Ford
Frick Of the National League.
When Frick and Harridge, our
ing an earlier Washington visit,
pledged baseball to a Is per cent
travel reduction, it was understood
that no exhibitions would be play
ed on neutral fields" Whether
the ODT classifies training site
neutral field, even if it is the
temporary home base of the host
team in an exhibition contest, is
what Harridge and Prick hope to
learn Thursday

speech last week, said, Holly
wood has gone Communistic and

That appears to be all that is

There is no indication in their
public utterances that Walsh and
Brewer have not taken over di-
rectly the mantle of Browne
Bioffism in the IATSE.
Former President George E.
Browne, in his report to the 35th
convention of the IA in 1910,
stated: IF someone were to ask
what is the most imminent and
dangerous force standing in the
path of our continued success,
without hesitation and with bit
ter venom my answer would be
Communism"
This report was made not long
before PreXy Browne submitted
his resignation from the prison
cell to which he was sent for ex-
tortion, along with Willie Bioff.
In those days the anti-labor
Hollywood forces consisted of
the Browne-B Bioff-producer COM
bination.

producer team.

laboration, neither the 5000
