CHAIR ! ELKS DEFEAT DEMOLAYS B 1 FIELD GOAL Spectacular Last Quarter| Drive Brings Playoff | Score to 46-44 By the narrow margin of one’ field goal, the Elks took the first game in the championship play- off series last night, totaling a final 46 to 44 score over the fighting De- Molay squad, as a last quarter de- termined drive of the DeMolays failed by seconds to upset confident Elk plans for victory. Tonight the second game of the City League championship series will be played between the two same squads. The game opened last night with the Elks stepping out to an expected lead, running up a score of 18 to 8 as the first quarter ended. The De- Molays missed an ace player in Kinky Bayers, and found the fast Elk pace difficult to match. As the second quarter got underway, both sides forgot defensive play as wild rushes up and down the court net- ted goal after goal for each side and finally, brought the score to 30 to 28 in the DeMolay’s favor as the half-time whistle blew The second half was almost an exact repetition of the first, with the third quarter giving ‘the Elks another confident lead, 44 to 36. But that came close to being the last opportunity for the Antlers to have their say, for only one more goal was made for them in the final quarter ~ when Dick May broke through a DeMolay streak of shoot- ing to bring the score to 46 for the Elks. The last quarter witnessed the final brilliant drive of the DeMolays who, led by Elmer Lindstrom and Ray Manthey, broke through for goel after goal, with fighting Sammy Nelson keeping the ball in DeMolay hands. The final -three minutes of play were filled with battle as the DeMolays approached closer and closer toward success. Despite the obvious set-up for stalling, the Elks failed to hold the ball in safe ter- ritory and let it slip into.threaten- ing areas where the DeMolays made short work of fast passing and ex- cellent shooting. Not until the last half minute of play, when the score stood within but two points of a tie did Stan Hill finally grab on to the ball and keep it under control while the final whistle blew. Bud Lindstrom was high point man_of the evening, netting 20 points for the DeMolay and play- ing a spectacular shootjng game for the entire four quarters Sammy Nelson was in there guarding with purpose for the DeMolays, while Dick May struck a brilliant pace for the Elks, totaling 16 points of the 46 point score, none of which was made by foul shots.

Through his manager, Eddie Mil- ler, the Tacoma boy has agreed to terms offered by Promoter Tony Palazola. To risk his title in the ten-round bout, Steele was offered a guaran- tee of $25,000 with the privilege of taking 37'c percent of the gate re- ceipts. Apostoli W Steele’s decision to fight the vet- eran Fresno left-hander eliminated his most persistent challenger, Fred Apostoli of San Francisco from con- sideration for the time being, at least. Apostoli recently scored a technical knockout over Steele in a non-title affair in New York. Last month here, however, Cor- bett scored an upset ten-round de- cision over Apostoli. As a result of the win, the California state ath- letic commission, through Chairman George Payne, announced it would recognize Corbett as world’s cham- pion in California. Corbett, who has been fighting eighteen years, formerly held the world’s welterweight title, losing it to Jimmy McLarnin. After a tem- crary retirement, he returned to the ring to box in the 160-pound division. Promoter Palazola said the date and site of the match would-be de- termined soon. Steele’s manager suggested a date around the middle of June, but Palazola said he pre- ferred a later meeting so as not to conflict with the heavyweight cham- pionship bout between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling.
