WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1946 CRIMSON BEARS GIVE WALLOPING | T0 PAA CAGERS Douglas Firemen Beat Douglas High in Final Channel League Game FINAL STANDI'\GS W L Juneau High 13 1 Firemen Douglas High PAA 1 signacs 1 Juneau High Crimson Bear team was acclaimed King of Basketball on Gastineau Channel last night when it won its 14th and final game in the closing session of the 1945-1946 City Basketball League. Lefeating its opponent, the Signacs, by the staggering score of 65 to 19 —the highest winning margin chalked up on any league game this year—the Crimson Bears play- ed a brilliant game of fast basket- ball. Douglas Firemen defeated Doug- las High 33 to 26. The Juneau High team played its seccnd string during the third quarter but the majority of the game was played by the full first stringers. PAA started off against its strong opponents with a show ot dogged determination and some good playing by the team as a unit. At the end of the first quarter Ju- neau High and PAA were tied 11 to 11. In the second quarter Ju- neau High led with a 17 point lead and by the end of the game had a 46 point winning margin Merritt ana Mead were high scorers with 17 and 18 points re- spectively. Hogins, O'Connor and Aase, all first stringers, finished their playing in this year's league with high honors for all around basketball. PAA’s high with 13 points. scorer was Moscrip Douglas Game In the Douglas Firemen-Douglas High Huskies' game, ths Firemen came forward with their best pass- work of the season. Brown, Mc- Daniels and Jones were a particu- larly powerful machine in long passes across the court. Stragier, a comparatively newcomer on the team, did an excellent job of de- fense action against the Huskies. eek (11 points) and Brown (9) were high scorers for the Firemen. Douglas High played a swift, well-crganized gam=2. Shooting was not as effective as it has bean in the past, and superior passwork by the Firemen caught the Husk- jes drawn away from the “open spots” on the court a number of times, but in gencral the Huskies’ brand of playing was good. In the first half the score was almcst perfectly balanced, 8 to 8 in the first quarter and 13 to 16 (Fire- men’s favor) in the second quar- ter. It was during - the third quarter that the Firemen soared ahead for a heavy lead—17 to 23— which they kept throughout the last quarter. Dick McCormick was high scorer with @ points. Bach, the usual shooting star of the team, only made 5 points—a far drop from his usual score. Box scores were: D. Firemen— Brown Jones Stragier McDaniels ...

It seems incon- ceivable Manager Joe McCarthy would trade either Gordon, voted the most valuable player in the American League in 1942, or Stirn- | weiss, who won the League batting and base stealing titles last year It is felt in baseball circles that the two will stage a red-hot fight for the keystowe job, with the loser raoving to third base where Bill Johnson, 1943 regular, is not ex- pected back until midsummer. He is still in the Army with insuffi- cient points for a discharge. For the last two years, five volunteers have essayed the third base role without much success. Gordon said he wouldn’t mind playing the hot corner as he p formed at that spot some in the minors. Stirnweiss ventured no op- inicn, but he also has performed at third in the minors.

Stevensen thinks Louis would have beaten Jgffries on speed and | possibly crowded Johnson for a on. But Stevenson says Demp- sey would have given Louis his toughest fight, probably would have | beaten him. Son Francisco’s oldest point of service—Toby this conclusion from his ears of arbitrating: “From what I saw of Louis, he would have beaten Jeffries. Louis punches faster than Jeff did.” Irwin thinks that Johnson would have given Lonis plenty of trouble. And he thinks that Dempsey—out- side of Louis—is the greatest fight- et he ever saw.
