NORWALK BIG:
-' FIVE DEFEATED
Lose to Port Chesters by
Score of 34-29—Red Men
Separates Win Third
Straight.
Two of the best basketball games4
of the season were played at the
Armory last night. In the main game
of the evening the Norwalk Big Five
went down to defeat before the fast
Port Cheater team by the score of
32-29. In the game the Red Men
Separates won the third straight
game from Battery C team in their
series for the junior championship of
the city.
The main game was fast from start
to finish. and kept the fans on edge
throughout Mullen tossed in the first
basket of the game Just after the
start. Fallon. of the visitors followed
this up with a basket. and Gordon of
the Port Chester team then tossed in
another. First one team would take
the lead and then the othel‘. The first '
half ended with Port Chester leading
by the score 20-19. Sava of the visit-
ors tossed in two baskets shortly af-
ter the second half opened. which put
the York staters out of danger. The
locals were never able to overcome
this lead.
"Sunny" Gordon of the visitors was
their leading scorer. Despite the fact
that he was closely guarded every
minute of the game by O'Boyle, he
tossed in three baskets and six l‘bul
goals. Gordon is one of the best bas-
ketuull players in the cast. and also
plays with the Brooklyn Dodgers of
the Metropolitan basketball league.
Fallon, who played with the local
Kacey basketball team last season.
also played a fine game for the visit-
ors and tossed in four baskets and a
foul, for a total of nine points. The
visitors had a very fast team and
looked as good as any outfit that has
erpcarel on a. lI-cal court this season.
Turner. a little player who is well
known in New Jersey. put up a line
game.
MuIlen played the best game for the
local tean and made six b kets and
fire goals. Gusrnleri als played a
good game. in the first half Turner
accidentally hit him with his elbow.
and cut a deep gash in his chin. but
he played throughout the game with
courtplaster‘ over the cut.
The preliminary game was nip and
tuck from the start to finish. and the
result hung. in the balance up until
the final whistle blew. Cavanaugh of
the Separates was the first to score.
when he tossed one in from in under
the basket. Naumann of the Battery
soon followed this up with another.
The first half was hard fought
throughout. and at the end the Sep-
arates were leading by the score of
10-8. At the start of the second half
it looked as if the Red Men were
going to walk away from the Battery.
when they made three baskets in a
row. but the soldiers soon put on an
extra burst of speed. and were put-
ting up a great fight when the final
whistle blew with the Separates lead-
ing by the'score of 22-19. thus giving
them the series. and the junior cham-
pionship of the city.
A large crowd attended the games.
Next \Vednesday night. the Big Five
will play either the New Canaan or
Hartford Kaceys‘ team. Either of
these teams should make the locals
travel at a fast pace to score a. win. It
is thought that the Wakeman Memo-
rials will play the Battery C team in
the preliminary game. This team will
play the Red Men on Mondnv even-
ing. After the games dancing was
enjoyed.

But golf—well. that is an entirely
different sport with an intfiresting
story.
Golf is literally played from the
cradle to the grave. There is no age
limit to starting or stopping. That is
why golf is certain to continue in
popularity, with a constant increase
in its devotees.
True. last year youth was served
in golfing circles. Gene Srh-azen. at
21. won the national open. Jesse
Sweeter. at 20, captured the national
amateur. while Glenna Collett. only
18. was supremevamong the women
golfers.
The theory that youth must be
served doesn't hold good in golf. de-
spite the success that youth enjoyed
in 1922.

so Jerry intends to hie himself and
battler to eastern points within a very
short time for the purpose of staging
a real. honesbto-goodness campaign
to land Klesch on the middleweight
championship throne.
Jerry says promoters in the sections
where Johnny has shown his wares
have run out of opponent for Klesch.
so believes the only way to find work
for his hard-pluggingbattler is to take
to sections yet unconquered.
Not so long ago Jerry took Klesch
into the southwest. where he under-
stood there was plenty of work for s.
battler of John‘ny’s caliber. .
But Klesch Just beat himself out of
a. good living when he knocked out

"Dolly" Gray pitched the weirdest
game] have eevr seen in major league
circles. Gray was a southpaw, and a
pretty good one. He came to \Vasns‘
ington from the coast and spent his
major league career with the Nation-
als.
Gray turned in his unusual per-
formance against the Chicago White
Sox on‘ Aug. 28, 1909, at Chicago.
Gray allowed only one hit—a very
questionable one—yet he was beaten
6 to 4. Not an error was made by his
supporting cast. How come. you say?
I umpired the game. and can recall,
the happenings of the unusual contest
as vividly as if they were just being
staged. In the second inning Chicago
scored six runs through the medium
of one scratehfiiit and a wild streak
on the part of Gray. It is _qnestion-
history of major league bail.
Gray retired the Sox in the first inn;
ing. pitching perfectly. In the secohd
inning things began to happen. Pat
Dougherty led on with a." high bound-‘
er to Bob Unglaub. playing first base
for Washington. Unginub jumped
after it. the ball struck the top of his
glove and was deflected into right
field. It was scored as a hit. but I
have always thought that Unglaub
should have easily handled the ball.
After Daugherty had reached first
base. Gray developed a streak of wild.
nest—the most unusual streak I have
ever seen. He walked seven men in
succession. forcing in five runs. The
