II Pi LONG grade school oagers an nexed their third straight city basket hall cham pionship yester day afternoon on rite Teenmoai floor, when they downed the fight ins Lincoln five by a :i6 to 11 count, in the fi nals of The Oma ha Bee grade school tourna ment. ^ The Long vic tory was well deserved, but the colored boys from the north side found the Lincoln ag gregation a stubborn stumbling block to their championship hopes. Although outweighed and outplayed, the South Siders were not outgamed. They put up a great scrap, but their huskier and taller opponents gradu ally wore down their defense, lanig Starts Right. The Iking crew started out right from the whistle to tuck the game away, and a quartet of goals in breath-taking rapidity In the first minute of play made things look dark for the Lincoln machine. The Lincolnites called time out, and the rest period seemed to work won ders on the quintet, for they staged a spectacular comeback, anil by vir tue of a pair of hope-raising center ringers, and a trio of free throws, came within a brace, of points of the Maroons. The first quarter ended 11 to 7 In Long's favor. The Long scoring machine got started in the second quarter, and with Ware, lanky Long forward, tip ping the leather in the hoop from all angles, the Long five piled up 11 points. While their forwards were amassing this score, the Maroon guards were holding Lincoln score lea*. Lincoln Guards Well. The Lincoln barricading machine camped on the trails of the Long for wards in the final period, holding them to seven goals. Five of these were charged up to Ware. Lincoln's scoring In tills period was confined to a cheer-producing, one hand side toss by Margeson, and a mid court ringer by Drozda. Ware, elongated Long forward, was the outstanding player of the game. He played a great floor garde, while his 10 field goals, and one free toss, give him high scoring honors of the fray. Lee and Love played good floor games. Divide Scoring Honors. For the losers, the game qght of Drozda, Kalman and Margeson fea tured. Drozda and Margeson divide scoring honors for the losers with four points apiece. Muir, . F.O. F.T.A. F.T. F. Fit. .in J l i 31 . « •« » | h . 2 » n n t .n n « n n .

"In all the years that i have played seini-pro ball only one time did I ever receive any tips for extra base hits," exclaims the hefty outfielder. “About five years ago I was play ing ill a tournament with the Ernie Holmes team and in about the fifth inning I knocked a three-base hit that put our team in the lead. "I returned to my position at third base and with the second man for the opposition up, some one threw a coin near the bag that was intended for me and when I left my position to look for the tip the hatter drove one past third base so fast that it rolled out to the race track for a home run, which eventually won the game for his team. "Now whenever the fans throw anything my way, it must land in front of me,” says George, "before I will accept it."

The OiiiaIi.'i 4 ‘athollc I >:iiik1i1pi’m, who are ginning the nil«Ivv.d shall see just what manner of fighter this Paul Berlenbach really is this week. The compiler of the al together -emarkable record of 26 con secutive knockouts will meet Jack Delaney, a Connecticut middleweight, at the Madison Square Garden KrI day night. Delaney Is a pretty fair fighter, far better than any of the lot who have fallen victim to Jlerlen bach's tremendous punch. He recent !y decisively defeated Tommy Hough ran. which Is something of an achieve ment. Berlenbach has gained nation-wide fame as .the result of his quick vic tories) over 17 or 18 amateurs and 8 or 0 professional boxers. None of the men he met ranked near the top of ihe fistic heap so some doubt still exists as to whether or not Paul can successfully rope with tile Queens berry elite at tills early date. The outcome of Berlenbach's joust with Delaney wilt dispel this doubt; if he can beat Jack. Paul will tie ready for Grebs, Gibbons, Smiths and Tunneys if not—well, It will he quite apparent that the former wrestler needs much more of that requisite of all fisti' greats, experience. Delaney seems to possess something that all Berlenbach's previous prof' sional opponents lacked—clevernes He Is seemingly lacking, however, in ruggedness. which was the forte of Carbone Darcy and Fisher, who were Paul's most recent victims. Tlie writer saw Jack fight twice G)i the first occasion he gave Bert Colima, a coast middleweight of more than ordinary ability, a terrific beat ing. Indeed, if our memory can be trusted. It seems that Delaney stopped the jian Francisco Portu guese. On the next occasion Augle Ratner knocked out the New Knglander in one round. A right hand hook behind the ear knocked Delaney as flat as i* planked shad before the round of vile opening bell had died out. Delaney subsequently gained a 12-roun.l de cision over Batner. Young Fisher, recently stopped by Berlenbach, once knocked out Delaney, too. Fisher at the time was a pretty rougti fellow, however, while Delaney was a green kid. That Jack has im proved Immensely is obvious; had he not lie would never have beaten Houghran. Of course, the chances are Berlen bach will stop Delaney for Jack has not. apparently, a hard enough punch to seriously bother Berlenliach. w here as the latter will surely bring Jack down if he connects squarely.

Dunbar High School Denies Report Cagers Had No Coach at Tournament Dunbar, Neb., March 1-.—The Lin coln hnil Omaha daily papers carried the news yesterday that the Dunbar basket ball team attended the recent state basket l»all tournament at Lin coln wthout a coach and with some of the players paying their own way. and thus won the class C champion ship. without having any coach or funds, setting, those who know say. a precedent. Huch was the subject matter of said article appearing on the stKjrt page of said dailies. Dunbar docs not know how such a story was circulated, but- it ;« absolutely up true, founded on misinformation. The Dunhar basket ball team has and always has had a coach. This year it w s in the person of Prof. S. G. Oyler. « ne of the big upstanding educate.!s and live basket bill coaches ot southeastern Nebraska. It was Sherm Oyler as coach who took the »>unbHi* team to Peru a few* weeks ago and won with his Dunhar team; the cup for -outhc.istei n Nebraska against such teams as Falls City, Au burn, Plattsmoutli and Nebraska Pity. It was Sherm Oyler who chap eruned the Dunbar team to the state tournament at Lincoln and giving every minute «if his time to the needs of the Dunbar team. Kvery membei i o ft he Dunhar team had the sum of1 - I i'20 in his p< « ket to pay expenses when they entrained ofr Uncoin. The Dunlwr business men also took up ,n extra liberal purse for the Dunbar t*>ys before they left in order that they would have nmra than enough to |«y their expenses. A* a result the Dunbar hasket ball team h.is ,i nice generous balance to its credit here n tlie bank, as they have | always had every year. How such a report should gain ac ■ ess to the columns of the daily papers is twyond understanding here. The Dunbar beys are loud in their praise of the treatment accorded them Untolti. As matter of basket I all rules no team Is allowed to enter the tournament without a coach. Coach Oyler of Dunbar was on the job every minute IVztlirtv to I’ia) $. ('.
