Determined rallies which featured by sensational shots in the | final stages of the Men's Industrial Basketball league games last night at the Stanley Arena brought Land- ers and Fafnirs teams victories and they are now within a half game of Stanley Works in second place. The victims last night were Corbin Cabi- net and Stanley Rule teams by to 15 and 26 to 13 scores. P. & F. Corbin girls won another victory in the opening game of the | night when Mary Motyka, P. & F. left forward scored ftive field goa in the first quarter. The final score was 15 to 3 over the last-place Stan- ley Works team. Features of the night were Mies Motyka's great offensive playing and fleld goal shooting; the great de- fensive play of immy” Murphy who held Paul LaHar, leading scor- er in the league, scoreless until the last seven minutes of the game: the circus shots LaHar made when he did finally score, and the shot. by Fritz Matseli which won the final same for Landg Pet. :M} P. & F. Corbin girls tightened the race in the girls’ lcague by defeating Stanley Works by a 15 to 3 score in the last scheduled game for P. & I Corbins in the league. However, the | team will have a play-off of a tie| game with the New Britain Machine | team, to determine which was | superior. Last week the two teams| played & 5 to 5 tie in an overtime Mary Motyka, leading scorer in the Teague, went on a rampage ani scored a field goal a minute in the fAirst quarter which lasted five min- utes. 8he increased her scoring lead in the last quarter when she scored another two-pointer. The P. & F.| Corbin team played a fine defensive game. In the four periods it kept Stanley Works from making a field goal. The summary: P. & F. Corbin Grossflan, rf .. Mieczkowski, rf Motyka, It ...

By its last-minute victory over Corbin Cabinet Lock the Landers team not only kept even with Faf- nirs in third place, but also made it two victories over the Cabinet Mak- ers for the present season. the last meeting of the teams, this game was a mighty close once es- pecially in the closing minutes of | play. The game started off with both teams exchanging the lead several times. Bucheri scored a foul tally. Larson popped one and followed it up with a foul goal to make the count 3 to 1, Cabinet. Kaminsky cut After eight min- utes of play Bucheri flipped in a ! double-counter and Landers was in the lead 4 to 3. ahead 5 to 4.

Bucheri was fouled by Larson and in one attempt succession and it began to look bad for the wearers of the green. How- ever, Preisser scored a field goal from the side of the court, Bucher! put his team within three points of tie on another field goal and Charlow made two successive foul als to put Landers withni a point of a tie.

Baschall managers are just as su- peratitious as ball players. As & matter of fact, most pilots became inoculated wigh the germ of super- stition in their days as ball players. The superstition df Peckinpaugh deals with the South Atlantic league and the acquisition of Bouthpaw Bill Bayne by the Cleveland In- dians. It also dates back to Pitcher Wilcey Moore of the Yankees and Outfielder Lloyd Waner of the Pi- rates, the former in particular. It seems that in 1926 a pitcher by the name of Wilcey Moore won 30 games and lost only four in the 8Sauth Atlantic. Not one of the scores of scouts who saw him in| action believed he had a chance to in a negative report. ! New York, however, purchased Wilcey Moore because Business | Manager Ed Barrow of the Yankees | was convinced that any pitcher who | could win 30 games in any old | league, while only losing four, must | have something. Moore, labeled “bloomer” by the scouts, won 18, lost seven and saved perhaps a dozzen more games for the Yankees. He was good for ahout 30 victories for the world champlons in the 1927 race. It is needless to comment on the part that Lloyd Waner played in the success of the Pittshurgh Pirates How he | stepped in and fllled the bill when | Manager Bush and his star out- flelder, “Kiki” Cuyler, disagreed and came to the parting of ways, is 4 matter of baseball history. Now for the Cleveland angle and | the snperstition of Manager Peckin- paugh, as it relates to Pitcher Wil- cey Moore and Outfielder Lloyd ‘Waner. Last season a pitcher, by name | Bill Bayne, sttepped into the pl('mri‘i at Greenville, . C., and filled the shoes of the town idol, Wilcey | ' Moore. | | While Bayne's record wasn't quite | as impressive as that of Moore, he | turned in 26 victories as against 10 defeats, which one must admit is some pitching. None of the hiz league scouts| | touring that section gave Bayne so |much as a tumble. He received no | | more consideration from the dia- | | mond sleuths than did Wilcey | Moore. { President Barnard of the Cleve- | land club, now head of the Ameri- looking over the averages, was im- pressed by the figures back of , Bayne's name, showing 26 wins, and | landed him in the draft. i Why was Rayne overlooked by the | scouts? Why was Wilcey Moore passed up? You ask. The fact that Moore was 30 years of age caused the scouts to got off | him. ‘That's considered far too old to be making & major league debut. | can league, in | minor league AU Twenty AGAIN, THS T e INDIANS At least that {s the thought or superstition to which Manager Roger Peckinpaugh of the Cleveland Indians is clinging. TIED FOR LEAD Over Black Hawks, New York, Feb. 15 (M—The Bos- ton Bruins had jockeyed back into ,a first place tie with the New York Rangers in the standing of the American group clubs in the Na- tional Hockey league today. At Boston last night the Bruins "make the major grade. All turned |squeezed out a 1 goal to 0 victory over the Chicago Black Hawks, Frederickson slapping the pock past the Chicago goalie in the third pe riod after a clever passing driv down the ice with Galbraith an Oliver. In a frenzied battle at Montreal, the New York Americans took the measure of the pacemaking Can- adiens by 1 to 0, Reise counting the lone tally on a long shot from miar rink. Two goals registered by the Canadiens were not allowed by the officials. Some 10,000 fans inter- rupted the contest frequently by throwing pennies and programs on the ice.

Broad Brook Wapping .... Simsbury . .250 Plainville ...... 000 The South Congregational church quintet retained its title as cham- pion of the Hartford County Senior “Y" basketball Jeague by meting out a crushing 74-38 defeat to the Wapping “Y" five on the New Bri- tain “Y" floor last night and set a new high-scoring record as an inci- dent of the victory, It was the 12th victory in 13 starts for the church team and put them two full games ahead of the Farmington Triangles, who cannot now catch the church five by winning both games remain- ing on the schedule. The locals have now finished their play in the Sen- for “Y" league and are ready for the elimination tournament to de. cide the state title. Two years ago the church players finished second in the County circuit. Last year they won it but were defeated in the semi-finals of the state tourney. Whatever comes of their efforts to obtain state honors, they have ob- tained a second leg on the big three. year silver cup and need only one more championship to muke it their permanently, Last night's game was a one-sided affalr, the locals proving superior in every branch of play except fight and gameness as Wapping kept try- ing even to the end despite the rap- idly mounting score against it. Re- feree Jack Tobin gave the visitors the benefit of unusually liberal in. terpretation of the rules, and had it not been for this the final count would have been even more lop- sided than it was. Bell scored a fleld goal in the opening minute. W. Smith tied the tally and Wapping moved into a 6-3 lead, but the advantage was short- Iltved. Bell and Morey broke away and were not even slowed down un- til the home team had 17 points, while the first quarter found New Britain in front by 25-7 Neither team quite kept up this pace in the next perfod, and the scoreboard read 40-10 at half time. <Bell had |made nine baskets and Morey five |in the half. The passing of the |South church completely bewildered |the visitors and left them powerless to stop the home team's attack. | The third quarter saw the locals !continue their smashing drive and run their total to 60, although Wap- ping was now playing to better ad- vantage. The team from “over east” {staged a real rally in the early stag- es of the fourth period, W. Smith ;und Welles getting away and Bam- {ford making some pretty long shots, but the church stemmed the tide and then pushed its own total up to 74. The whirlwind combination of Bell |and Morey accounted for 43 points, |the pair taking turns and each feat- {uring in one half. Rockwell had a Vig night, while Wessels continually outjumped the taller men who were !sent against him. None of the home team's baskets were of the long variety, all coming after series of | passes which brought the ball under ithe basket. Parker featured the de- fense, holding four men to one goal, {while May and Rarta broke up num- ! berless passes. W. Smith, Welles, and Bamford played well for the visi- tors.

They came from behind in a2 slashing second-half rally and won a 21-19 decision from the State Trade school quintet in a close game played at the Senlor High school. The victory gave them & lead of three and a half games over the South church Intermediates and since they havo but two games {left, the Lions.cannot be ousted from first position. They will meet the winner of the northern half fog the right to represent Hartford county in the state tournament among in- termediate teams. By another prank ef fate, the Lions won the title through a defeat of the organization which won the county and state championships a year ago. For a while, though, it looked as though the Lions were not to win. The first period was one of close guarding, Marsell making the only basket of the quarter and Pond completing a 2-1 score with & foul. In the second stansa baskets by Pond, Cohen and Anderson and fouls by the latter two sent the school into a 9-3 lead, Marsell mak- ing the Lions’ only point on a free toss. Starting the third quarter with these odds against them the Lions rallied sharply. Marsell made two more baskets and Karbonik made o pair and Luke one. Pond and Knowles scored for the acheel, and the tally was 14-1¢ as the last per- iod opened. Fond made & basket and two fouls and Cohen a foul for the Traders in this session, but again Marsell counted from the floor and Karbonik came through with two baskets and a foul which spelled victory. Marseli was the star of the game with Karbonik shooting well in the last half. Pond was the eutstanding player for the lossrs. The Trade schoo! guards kept their men cover- ed during the entire game, while Yankowits also defended Ms goal well.
