RED MEN BIG
FIVEDEFEATED
THE DANBURYS
The Red Men Big Five basketball
team traveled to Danbury last evening,
where they defeated the Danbury team
in the first game of the home and
home series between these two teams.
The score of the game was 25-21.
The game was one of the best that
anbury
has been played on the
court this season. The loo 1 team
played almost perfect basketball. The
floor work was very fast. and they baf-
fled the Danbury team with their
speed. During the last seven minutes
of play with the local team leading by
four points. they got possession of the
ball and held it until the final whistle.
Try as hard as they could the Danbury
team could not seem to get the ball
away from the fast going Indians.
Only two fouls were called on the
Red Men all during the game. so one
can readily see that it was a very clean
game.
The. first half of the. game ended
with the. Danbury team leading by one
point. The score was 13-12. In the
second half of the game the Red Men
seemed to pick up speed. During this
period of the game the. score was tied
four times. Meeker wont in at center
during this half of the game and
Clancy went to right for\i'nrd.'BiaCk‘
man going out of the game. .
Court was the leading scorer for the
Red Men. He tossed in four baskets
and one foul goal for a total 0' nine
points. Two of the baskets made by
Court were wonderful shots. They
were made from near the center 0f the
floor and went through the" rim Of the
basket without touching it. Mason
also played a fine game for the local
team. lle'nny made three field goals
and played a wonderful floor game;
lie. broke up many of the Hatters
plays with his brilliant work. All of
the players on the Red Men's team
plnvcd fine basketball and every one
of thnm is deserving of a irrat deal of

Lively Night Anticipated
When Eddie Mack and
Young Luby Meet.
STAMFORD. March 2.
Everything is in readiness for the
unusually fine boxing bill that Joe
Chimbolo has worked so tirelessly to
bring about. Nothing is left undone
to make this show one of the best that
has ever been staged in Stamford.
There has been a great demand for
seats and a full house in undoubtedly
assured. The seating capacity of Elks
Hall is 1.200 and more than half of
this number already made reserva-
tions and a lively night is anticipated.
Eddie Mack has put on the finishing
touches to his strenuous training rou-
tine and is the picture of confidence as
he awaits the clang of the bell this
evening. Although optimistic he does
not. under—rate the fighting ability of
Young Luby who needs no introduc-
tion in ilstic circles. Young LUby has
been training diligently at the Crasho
A. C. in Bridgeport and will arrive
here in time to tip the scales at 1‘24
pounds at three o'clock as per the
agreement.
The semi-final bout promises: to be a
eorker as it brings together Frankie
mx'anaugh of Fairfleld and Harry
Illankcr of Troy. New York. This bout
is scheduled to go eight rounds. Both
fighters have good records and are of
the toc-to-toe type of Sluggers and a
treat is in store for the fans,
Chick Dorsey of Norwalk will ex-
change punches with \V'lllie Connors
of Greenwich in a six round prelimin—
ary. This bout should be a bummer.
Harry Peterson and John Kid Mooney
will open the show with a. four round
exhibition.

There are a good many of the 15.000

think the clever Filipino was treated
harshly. and at least should have re-
ceived a draw. It is the second ques-
tionable decision in seven days at the
Garden. many objecting to the award
last week of the light heavyweight
title to Gene Tunney of New York.
who defeated Harry Grcb of Pitts-
burgh.
Until it was two-thirds over the
fight was slow for a championship
contest. but it wasn't tiring. It ap-
peared slow because both men were
extremely cautious.
Villa appeared more aggressive. but
he was a shade more tired at. the last
gong. Their punches seemed to be
about equal forces. .thcir defenses
were largely similar. Their decision
was made on hairline reasoning and
might have been based on any one of
a number of conditions. Pancho was
warned often for over the acts but he
seemed to have the upperhand the
longest.

They used to say "you can‘t come
back" once you lost a pugilistic title.
And they always cited poor old Jim
Jeffries' debacle at llcno in 1910 as
proof.
But now-a-days. comebacks are the
rule. rather than the exception. No
less than five world title holders who
were jarred out from under their
crowns have come back to regain their
titles.
Gene Tunney's recapture of the
world light heavyweight champion-
ship in a 15-mund bout with Harry
Grcb a few nights ago is the latest
notable example. Just nine months
after Grcb took the title. Tunney made
a comeback at Madison Square
Garden. '

greatest proof of the old saw that you

Here's where Lynch does his "come-

the title from Lynch. he lost to Johnny

made his comeback by beating Buff.
He's still holding it, while Tremaine.

Old Jack Britten. famous welter-

Two years later. the welters met up
again for the title. Britton regained
his laurels by a knockout. Stanley
Ketchell. greatest middleweight of his
day. was another "comeback." Billy

of rounds at the old Colma arena in
