P. AND F. CORBIN VANQUISHES LANDERS AND LEADS LEAGUE Wins 33-18, Outplaying Rivals — Russell and Erwin Comes Through in Closing Minute, Morelli’s Goal Winning Game—Lockmakers Defeat Rule Shop. Today the P. and F. Corbin team is victoriously perched all alone on the top rung of the league ladder in the Industrial circuit by virtue of its decisive 33-18 victory over the Landers, Frary & Clark five; the Russell and Erwin five is basking in the sunshine of success after having won their first game, the Fafnir five being the victims in the last half minute of play; while the Corbin Cabinet Lock team has strengthened its posi- tion by defeating the Rule Shoppers. R. and E. won 27 to 26 and the C. C. L. boys took their game 21-17. All three of last night’s games, making the halfway point in the league schedule, were well played but it was the R. and E. game that was the prize of them all. The lead alternated many times during the play and in the final stretch it seemed that the Fafnirs had piled up an overwhelming lead. But—tightening their own de- fense, the Russell and Erwin five launched a terrific offensive and led by Captain Movelli overcame the advantage of their opponents and just before the final whistle blew the little cap- tain tossed in the winning basket.

The heavyweight put on a rather slow exhibition in which Burke clearly had the advantage. The club was organized to stage exhibition fights in the District of Columbia which is a legal han against prize fights.
