NATIONAL BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS END WITH GAME TONIGH
NEW YORK UNIVERSITY
PLAYS RUTGERS FOR
WORLDS’ CAGE TITLE
Kansas City Athletic Club and Young Men’s
Order, of Detroit, Defeated in Games
Friday Night.
By CHARLE
New York University will play Rut
gers College tonight at the Audito-‘
rium for the world's basketball cham
pionship. These teams were returned
victors in their games Friday night.
The losers, Kansas City Athletic
Club and Y. M. A. of Detroit will play
for third and fourtn places this aft
ernoon at the same place,
The brace of games today will bring
1o a close the first national cham
pionships ever staged in Atlanta. A
peculiar incident about the tourney
is the superiority of college and uni
versity teams to those of the varoius
athletic clubs, The title will be de
cided between college teams, and
third and fourth places will go te
athletie club fives.
By far the largest crowd of the
tourney attended last night, and fans
cheered lustily for their favorites. In
the first and feature game, New
York University-Kay See, the fans
were strong for “Red” de Barnady
and his bunch from Missouri. In the
ggcgaxd game the house was about
NEW YORK EASY WINNER,
New York University easily defeat
ed the Missourians, the final score
being 45-22. At the end of the first
half the score was 29-9. The game
started with a rush and hardly be
fore the fans had become settled Cann
of New York had tossed a pretty field
goal from the right sied of the bas
ket. On the tip Deßarnady bested
Mooney, and like clockwork the sor
rel-topped Deßarnady had registered
a goal for Kansas,
This sudden burt of speed evident
ly scoaed the university team; at
any rate, they opened up and played
about the fastest and best basket
ball the fans of Atlanta have had the
opportunity of witnessing. In the
short space of ten minutes they had
pushed the gcore to 22-2 in their
fayor.
And again the Missourians staged
a comeback, this time pushing their
total to nine points, after which they
were held scoreless for the remainder
of that period, while Goeller rang up
three more figld goals for Rutgers.
The house was still for Kay See,
and seemingly thought that the team
had not opened up. The second half
was far better than the first. K. C,
A. . had more fight and played a
better game. In this half the victors
were able to score only three points
more than the vanquished.
Cahn and Goeller were the offen
sive stars for New York, They shot
from all angles and passed superbly,
This pair has been the bright feature
of the tourney. Cahn shot seven field
goals and Goeller hung up eight. Ba
ker, guard, was in a great way re
sponsible for the game being put
on ice in the first half. His defensive
work was great; he broke up passes,
dribbles, and, in every way starred,
Deßarnady and Singer starred for
Kay See. The mighty ‘“Red,” whose
play has been the tglk of the tour
ONTHE LEVEL
- By HENRY VANGE
Just to show how badly off form the Atlanta Athletic Club was
Thursday night wher they were snowed under by the Y. M, O. boys from
Detroit, it might be well to do a little comparative score business.
This season the A. A. C. boys have met and defeated the University
of Georgia team in decisive fashion twice. Keep that thought in your
noodle until it soaks in.
Then, remember that Wednesday night University of Georgia met
Rutgers and played the Easterners to a standstill, finally losing out by
a 36-33 score.
Thursday night the Y. M. O. clan comes along and humiliates the
clubsters bg slaughtering 'em, and Friday night Rutgers in urn slaught
ers Y. M. O. On the face of things this would make the Georgia squad
vastly superior to the A. A, C. And as a matter of fact they have lost
to the Beanballers twice this year.
All of this is mentioned merely to show you that the Atlanta boys
really had an off-night and should have at least mad ethings interesting
for the Detroiters in the Thursday night massacre.

American Flyweight Runs Away
From Britisher Through Twelve-
Round Bout at Toledo.
e
(By Universal Service.)
TOLEDO, Ohio, March 13.—Jimmy
Wilde, English flyweight champion,
had Frankie Mason running away
from him in their twelve-round bout
here last night, and the result was
that Wilde won on points, Mason
must have run 2 miles backward
during the thirty-six minutes of
fighting time.
Had Wilde been able to compel Ma
son to make a real fight of it, he
probably would have stopped his man
in six or seven rounds. But James,
being a tiny person, was lost in the
big ring, and couldn’t catch up with
the fleet Frankie often enough to
slap over something that would really
hurt, Jim tried, tried early, late and
often, but he was outrun. The little
foreigner proved himself a far better
fighter than Mason ever dared to be.
Wilde crowded his Yankee rival
from bell to bell and stung him many
times, tut could not get home with
well intended wallops that meant
curtains for the Fort Wayne boxer.
He had Frankie's lips bleeding from
the second on, mussed up his face
generally and gave him a lovely rib
roasting, but Frankie was there at
the finish, fighting back, though glass
eyed and trembling in the legs.
The eleventh round was Mason's
most terrible session. Jimmy had
him legging all over the place.
There were no knockdowns, be
cause Mason was going away, wisely,
when Jimmy started the real goods
in the punching line at him.
Mason weighed 106 1-2 at 3 o'clock
and Wilde was a quarter of a pound
lighter.

Tech’s Rifle Club;
Dates A ed
By W. E. GEORGE.
r The successful candidates for the
‘Tech rifle team were announced yes
terday by Captain A. L. Pendleton,
commandant of the R. O. T. C. of the
'college. Thirty names are on the
list, which includes a galaxy exper
ienced and crack shots, the men being
selected from a field of nlearly a hun
dred that were entered in the trial
rounds.
The members of the team are also
members of the Tech Rifle Club and
must be attached to the R, O, T, C.
The Tech club was recently granted
membership in the Naticnal Rifle As
soclation of America, which fact in
itself is quite a signal honor, J M.
Slaughter Jr. has been elected presi
dent of the club; C. A. Mcßee, vice
president; A. A, Black, secretary; M.
00, Berry, treasurer, and Captain Pen
dleton named as the executive of
ficer.
E. D. Sledge has been selected to
serve as acting captain, but the per
manent elections will be held in a
few days. JThe members of the team
are to practise every afternoon or at
other off hours on their range in
front of the Tech power plant. The
team is to be coached by a number nf
old army officers who are thoroughly
familiar with the game and all hold
expert riflemen’s marks in their ser
vice records. There are quite a few
‘service men on the team, too, who
‘have held their own in the different
ranges of the «cantonements and
training camps.
In a letter a week or so ago, Cap
tain Pendleton challenged the fore
most colleges of the South to compete
with the rifle team of the White and
Gold. So far three definite dates have
been arranged for dual matches. The
first of these comes off Saturday
week, March 27, with Tech’'s ancient
rival in all things athietic———Auburn.
The next shoot on schedule is against
Wofford College on “he following week
end, and the third is with Little Rock
College on April 24. Prominent among
the other colleges that will probably
accept the challenge are Vanderbilt,
Emory, Clemson, Mississippi A, and
M., Citadel and Florida.

French Champion Says Before
Sailing That He Wants to Meet
Dempsey Soon as Possible.
By NEWTON C. PARKE,
Staff Correspondent of the I, N, 8,
PARIS, March 13.—Just before his
departure for the United States to
day Georges Carpentier, heavyweight
champion of Europe, declared that
he is willing to make financial sacri
fices to secure an early contract to
fight Jack Dempsey for the world
championship.
Carpentier said that he is willing
to fight Dempsey, regardless of the
war slacker charges asgainst the
Anmnierican pugilist, and that if
Dempsey should be sent to jail he
will ask American fight promoters
to hold a series of bouts to pick
Dempsey’s successor so that the
world championship contest can be
held anyway.
“I hope to settle definitely the ar
rangements for a fight with Demp
sey shortly after my arrival in
America,” said Carpentier, “Na
turally I am interested in the
financial returns, but I know that
the public is likely to became dis
gusted over long bickering. Conse
quently I shall make sacrifices to
secure an early contract.
“Of course I am interested in the
slacker charges against Dempsey,
but I will fight him regardless of
the outcome, unless he should be
sent to jail for perjury. My view is
that I am not fighting Dempsey as
an indivigual but the possessor of
the title and it is the title holders,
who must be defeated. It would be
the same if some one else held it.
“If Dempsey is sent to jail I shall
not claim the world champion
ship myself. 1 would consider such
action unfair, I shall ask American
promoters to arrange a series of
elimination bouts to pick Dempsey’s
successor. Then I can meet the vie
tor of these bouts in a fair and
square match for the world's title.”
Heavy Rains Friday
And Track Practise
The deluge that swept the town Fri
day morning and afternoon had a
most depressing effect on the regular
practise of the Tech baseball squad
as well as on the track and field men.
At noon the ground was slightly un
der water and thoroughly moistened
and though the angry waters had sub
sided by the practise Lovr, there was
still enough mud sticking around the
park to make a voyage in the direc
tion of second base 4 perilous and
foolhardy undertaking.
Coach Clay dismissed all the pro
teges of Joe Bean and escorted his
part of the squad over to the Y. M.
C. A. where he lectured for quite a
while to his men, Coach has great
plans for the scrubs this spring, It
will be some time before he is nble‘
to know definitely just who or how
many faces will be on the honorable
Yannigans, but it is certzin that there |
is going to be some dandy material |
to help frume a winner, ‘
In the Infield, for instance, at third
there will be no less a personage than
Ed Morgan, who centerfielded for
Mercer last year, Incidentally he!
dragged down an All-Southern berth
in this pasition and if he were eligible
to be turned loose on third this sea
son, he doubtless wouldn't be very
far behing the best in the S, 1. A, A.
Then over on first there is Mitchell,
who played for G. M. C, last year. He
is quite some fielder. taking groupd
balls and low throws with equal deft
ness, aud he ig no slouch with the wil
low by any means. Out in the out
field there are quite a few satellites.
Griffin, who played in a number of
varsity games last year, has been
holding down left field for the Clay
Kids all week and has put up a bril
liant game. Jones, Edwards and John
ston all look good, too, and will be
heard from before many days are
past.
~ Practise will be held today for the
ientlre squad, if weather conditions
will permit, beginning promptly at
1. The field is so drenched that a
game between the two sectionsiof the
squad will be practically impossible.
Marietta Wins Over
.
Decatur High, 7-6
MARIETTA, Ga.,, March 13.-—~Ma
rietta High defeated the strong De
catur High tear here I'riday night, 7
to 6. The game was by far the best
that has been played here this year
and the lesult was in doubt until the
last few minutes of play,
Emmie Montgomery and Captain
Ruth Galley played the best game
for the winners, while Mary RBrewn
and Captain Charlotte Kstes upheld
the honor of the visiting quintet. This
defeat puts the Decatur girls out of
the running for the championship un
less the Marietta girls ean slip a vie
tory over the Fulton High girls next
Friday, in which case there will be
a triple tie.

Isn't it strange the way Mike

Moran beat him, “hound,” “old bum,”
“has been."”
Moran was the same. He was a
champion at boxing when he won.
After he lost they wondered how he
ever beat anybody. Look at Jack
Dillon, who beat Moran. He' was
called a “giant killer” when he won.
After he lost the fans were willing
to bet even money anybody could

~ Fulton High girls made one more
step towards the championship Fri
)lay afternoon at the local Y. M. C.
A, when they swept back the team
representing éhe De Kalb High, of
Stone Mountdlin, 21 to 5, There re
mains only two more games to be
played in the girls’ league and they
will be dished out to the fans next
Friday when Fulton meets Marietta
and Decatur battles Woodberry, |
The winners started the game
rather slowly and by fine playing the
visitors made a field goal and a foul
goal before the winners hit their
stride. \
The Stone Mountain girls had a hard.
time in getting to Atlanta from their
little city and in the face of the hard
trip they played a fine game. After
getting on their trie stride, the win<
ners played the game in jam-up style,
Practically all of their goals were of
the spectacular variety, Fine pass
work was in evidence at many stages
of the game.
TEAMS PLAY LOOSELY.
At the start both teams playead
rather loosely, but after a while they
seftled down and both quintets gave
a fine exhibition. Miss Ida Wells,
guard for De Kalb High, made the
first score of the game when she lo
eated the basket for a field goal.
Several minutes later a Fultonite
fouled and Miss Thompson added an
other marker, At the end of the first
third the winners were leading 6 to 3.
In the second period the Fultonites
only added four more polnts to their
total, while the visitors added one
field goal. In this period Ruth Wil
liamsg made the best shot of the day,
when she hit the basket for a flald
goal from the sidelines near the mid
dle of the court. This shot was one
of the. most spectacular made this
year in the girls' league.
In the last period the winners went
wild and rang five field goals and
shot one foul goal. Capt. Frances
Phillips made three fine shots from
around the foul ling, making her
total for the fray reach eight points.
Ruth Williams made the other two
field goals and the foul goal, mak
ing a total of nine markers.
MILLER AND WELLS STAR.
Mettie lou Miller and Captain
Wells played the best game for the
losers, both making a field goal each.
Wells played mostly a defensive game
and at times made her presence felt.
Bessie” Miller, at center, also played
well, although she failed to register
a single marker.
Clara. Neville performed at forward,
played her usual fine game. Che
made two fleld goals during the fray,
one of which was shot from out of a
group of goal defenders of the De
Kalb team, Cornelia Proctor was a
little off and during the first two
periods she failed to locate the
basket. She was r laced in the last
period by Jeanette Harwell, who
played well
Captain Phillips and Willlams
played the best ~ame for the winner,
both defensively and offensively.
‘They were in the thick of the fray
for the entire length of the game,

HUNTING.
Spellbound we sat and listened to the
hunter brave and bold,
And marveled at the tales of wild ad
venture that he told,
For he har hunted warlike beasts by
wood a){;d mountainside,
And he had trailed the jungle deep
and scoured the desert wide.
It was a simple thing for him to slay
the yri::‘liy bear,
And he had oftén trailed the Bengal
tilycr to its lair,
And he had slain the elephant, the
dikdik and the moose,
And he had winged the canvasback,
the partridge and the goose,
The walrus and the mountain goat,
the leopard and the lynao,
Were sofi and e¢asy meat for him—
he was their deadfliy jina. |
And as we listened, spellbound, to
the wondrous tales he told, ‘
Up spoke a city dweller and his voicc‘
was hard and cold; ‘
“You may have slain the jabberwock,
the fuzzfuzz and the gnu;
You may have winged the dodo bird
and snared the wild gazink : ‘
You may have tracked the polar bear
and put it an the blink; |
You may have hunted bird and beast

WHY COLLINS WAS CHASED.
The name of Eddie Collins has
been erased from the list of pla: TS
who never were expelled from ¢ @
pastime. And this happened to -
lins at the fag end of 1919, after he
had played nearly fourteen whole
seasons without ever incurring the
displeasure of an umpire. i
This is how it hcpfwnod: PR
The socks were playing in Sk
Loul There was less than a week
of thj season left. The Chicago clut
needed one more victory to insure the
pennant for themselves. Collins had
worked his way around the sacks and
had reached third. The batsman shot
a ball to the infield and Collins, aftes
'a hesitating start, tore for the plate.
'He siid in, but Umpire George Hilde
‘brand called him out. o
Colling jumped to his feet in &
rage, reached down to the ou ’
picked up a handful of dirt and let 1t
fly. Whether he knew he was throws
ing it in the direction of Hildeb:
or not is a fact that Collins himself
can establish. But the. fact 15 thak
the entire volley of dust and pebbles
hit Hildebrand squarel; in the face.
When the umpire had extracted
landscape from his optics he looked
at Collins, motioned toward the clubs
house and said: 14
“You're out of the game™ 'f;

record for good behavior by chasing
him from a game after he had played
cleanly for nearly fourteen vears, ‘
Hildebrand would not change his
mind-—and Collins’ name became en=

WHEN WAGNER WAS PITCHER.
Hans Wagner was a pitcher in b&
earliest baseball days. That was -
ing the rawhen the “Flying Dutchs
man” was just breaking into profess
sional baseball, but he didn't last long
—-and Wagner tells the reason why:.
“I had a lot of speed, but very.
control. Pete Lavelle usually caught
me, and I will say that Pete :
rather tough time. I always had the
habit of getting the ball about 2 feet
to one side or the other of the plate.
Usually my inshoots hit the batsman
in the back. This probably gave Pete
the idea for inventing what was the
pitchout. For one day Pete, !nltepi‘.
of taking his regular position behin
the plate, jumped a little to the ~
base side of it. Then he moflmv
for me to throw the ball squarely into
his mitt. I tossed the ball squarely
for his mitt and if it had gone there
it would have been a very wide one.
But my control was so poor in those
days that when I attempted to throw
the ball 2 feet to the right of tha
plate it curved right over the h
of the pan. From then on Pete used
to signal me to do most of my pufig
ing to a point about 2 feet from :
plate. T had fair success then, but it
wasn’t enough to satisfy me. S 0
decided against adopting pitching as
a career and tried an outfield po=
sition.” e
