BRADDOCK BOOKS| TWO EXHIBITION BOUTS, NEW YORK Heavy King to Meet Eddie| Kotwisca, Eddie Cook | on Benefit Bill NEW YORK, Feb. 4—Heavyweight Champion James Braddock, lured | by the prospect of the halt-mmlnn‘, dollar Chicago fight against Joe Louis, has agreed to two warm-up bouts. Braddock will meet Eddie Kot- wisca, former New Jersey amateur | champion, and Eddie Cook, Havana | negro, in exhibition bouts of two rounds each on a benefit program here February 15. 'Sport Slants By PAP’ Promoters of pro basketball cannot | understand why their game fails to flourish while in amateur ranks| basketball is -riding the crest of a! new wave of popularity. If they| want a lead, they might give a' thought to the “floaters”—lads who cannot get -enough of the game by | confining their efforts to one team. No single feature has done more to, kill the goose ‘that laid the golden egg for pro basketball, except, pos-| sibly, lack of organization and bet-! ting. | This business of players appearing together as teammates one night and the next as bitte= (?) opponents, is hardly one to promote confidence' in the minds of spectators.

The Firemen have been chosen as victims for the clash tonight with | the soldiers who have been practic~ ing for months looking forward with gusto to this chance to trim the | city boys. Capt. L. V.

Experienced Players { All of the players from Chilkoot {have had experience playing at other posts. Stratton, captain of the team, and Wehrer, all-star guard from Company E. five years ago, are two of the more polished players the city team will be up against, but on the other hand the Piremen have some “old guards” themselves who, we wager, can give theml an excit- ing tussle. The firemen are limited to seven men in their squad but after all, only five of them can play at one| time, and futhermore every mem- ! ber of the team i5 a basketball player. Piremen who will protect the fair name of their eity tonight from the invaders are: Joe Snow, | “Dutch™ Behrends, “Doc” Hollmann, Dewey Baker, Tom Moyer, Jimmy CHILKOOT TEAM | TO TACKLE FIRE QUINT TONIGHT HALM AND RADDE IN PIN DUEL AS LUMBERMEN WIN Columbia Bowler Finishes with Two-Pin Edge Over Alt Heidelberg Roller By a margin of two pins, J Halm nosed out Ed Radde for - ing honors in the Commercl League mix at the Brunswick alleys last night; Halm totaling 542 al Radde 540.
