Battling jets
For 18th Win
Score Heavily From
Field, but Get Only
Is Free Shot Points
By Bill Fuchs

While the Caps didn't rlay their
best game of the Basket Ball Associ-
alton OF America season last night,
they played well enough to knock
on the lowly Indianapolis Jets,
1881, before 1850 fans at Uline
Arena.
The Jets, tailenders in the Yves.
tern Division, gave the CAPS a
game of it for one half. In the
second half, the Caps got only three
foul shots but were Dead-eye Dicks
on their set shots and breezed away
with their 25th victory in 80 games
In spite of the victory, the Caps
evidently hadn't fully recovered
from their FASTING by the Baltimore
Bullets here Wednesday. Bones Nc
Kinney, usually an eagle-eye, scored
only three points and all those came
within the last six minutes. The
Caps were faulty in passing at times.
put there wasn't anything wrong
with their set-shooting.
Five Caps Double Scorers.
Five members of the local con-
tingent hit the double scoring
column. Freddie Scolari dumped In
six field goals and three foul shots
to lead the Caps with is points. It
was the first time since November
4 that fat Freddie acquired that
many tWo-pointers. Newly-acquired
Jack Nichols got his biggest total
OF the year with six goals for IL
points. Bob Feerick dropped in IA
points, Kleggie Hermsen got II and
John Norlander, playing less than
anybody, got 10.
Jets Put Up Fight.
Altogether, the Caps sank 50 field
goals, picking up only 10 points from
the free stripe.
The Jets didn't go down without
a fight. They also produced a quin-
tet Of double column scorers in Ray
Lump with II points. Ralph Hamil-
ton with is, Charley Black and John
Mandic with IA each, and Price
Brookfeld with 10.
In Lionel Malamed, the Jets
showed one Of the shortest in the
game. He stands only feet, 8. but
Teddy Bear"-as they call him,
made big nuisance of himself. He
scored eight points, six on long set
shots, distinguished himself as a
ball hawk.
Hamilton and Lump sank long
set shots in the opening minutes
to give Indianapolis a 40 lead. The
Caps tied it up on shots by Hermsen
and Scolari and the race was on.
The lead changed hands nine
times in the first half and was
deadlocked seven times. The first
period ended with the Caps lead
ing, 1922. At half-time, Washing
ton owned a 45-42 lead.
But in the third period the Caps
began finding the basket with dead
ly accuracy. They made 81 points
on 10 field goals and one foul, while
the Jets struggled along with II
points, four Of them from the free
throw line.
Caps Lead Bettered.
The Jets outscored the Caps, a.
%, in the final period, but it didn't
make much difference. Washing
ton, with Dick Schulz showing the
way, picked up % points from the
floo". The only foul shot that
period was by Mckinney, who made
up for his dismal, scoring with a
tigerish brand of play under the
back boards.
The Caps victory, coupled with
the New York's loss to the Bullets,
gives Washington a 6la-game edge
over the second-place Knickerbock-
ers. The Caps meet the Celtics in
Boston tonight, the Bullets in Balti-
more Wednesday and the Knicks at
Uline Saturday night.

Pennsylvania Law
Against Bribery on
Governors S Desk
By the Assoeioted Press

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 23.-
Only Gov. James H. Duff's sig
nature is needed to give Pennsyl-
vania a strong sports anti.
bribery law.
The measure, sponsored by SEN
ator M. Harvey Taylor. completed
its journey through the General
Assembly yesterday when it was
passed by the House. r'he Sen
ate previously approved the
measure.
Gov. Duff, one time Princeton
University baseball pitcher, is ex-
pected to sign the bill within 9
day or two.
The bill makes any person Sub
ject to penalties up to three years
Imprisonment and a $4,000 fine
for even attempting to bribe a
player or any one connected with
a sports event.
Taylor, Harrisburg Republican
and former minor league baseball
player, said under his bill you
dare not even f1irt with anybody
connected with a sports team OF
athlete"
Commissioner Bert Bell of the
National League conducted per-
sonal drive for the legisla tion
after the Hapes-Filchock profess
sional football case broke in New
York two years ago. At that time,
the commissioner suspended the
two New York Giants players for
failure to report bribe.
Last December he again asked
for a law with teeth. At that time
Joe Fulks, high-scoring forward
of the Philadelphia Warriors of
the Basket Ball Association of
America, brought bribery charges
against a Philadelphia poolroom
operator.
The operator was held for court
under a little used charge which
makes it a misdemeanor to at
tempt to bribe a servant or EN-
ploye. The maximum penalty fer
that crime Is a year in jail and
$500 fine.
