MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1931 THE MORNING HERALD, HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND "SHORTY" GILL MAKES DEBUT TONIGHT IN GAME AT Y.M.C.A. Alsatia Five Will Have to Be at Best to Top the Should Get Real Thrill Out of This Starts at 8:30 P. M. Some few skeptics went to the last Thursday night to view the lanky, elongated center of the Cleveland Whirlwinds and when they finally arrived all their doubts as to his unusual height Were shattered as he really stands 7 foot 4 inches tall. Feeling that they owed the fans of Hagerstown a return game due to the fact that they arrived too late for the game Thursday night, Manager Harris of the Cleveland Whirlwinds agreed to cancel his Monday night game, and bring his team back here for a game against the local basketeers.

This game is called for 8:30 due to the fact that the Alsatia Club meets on Monday night and the meeting will be pushed through in order'that the members may be able to attend this unusual attraction which is being offered. Cleveland Has Real Team Several members of the local squad went to the Y. M. C. A.

on Fridav and watched the CleVelanders in their workout ou the local floor and any doubt as to their ability wai left when the boys stopped their practice. Dropping them in from al angles and with plenty of good long shots Intermingled the Whirlminds lived up to their reputation of being a real bunch, of bait tossers. Shorty GH1 handles a basketball like an ordinary person would a base ball. He gave a few long shots for the boys and then walked under the basket and laid a few iu. over the rim without leaving the floor.

This 5s one of his trick shots and the fans turn, out tonight are promised some real thrills. Harris, who acts as coach and business manager of the Cleve- 3and team, has a real bunch of players and one which lias been defeating the best teams in the East. Their yictory over the Middletown Aviators stamps them as a team of real caliber as this team is made up of some of the best players section, and Leitbeiser, both former raembers of the local Elks team, alternate at center on this team.

Rotomac St. Locals In Form Coach Miller ran. his squad through a stiff workout yesterday in preparation for this game and for their game Thursday night against the Hancock Chevies in the second game of their series for the County Championship, While they were defeated in the first game the locals are not disheartened aud feel that the series will be takea LOSES TO LINCOLN McFaddin Champions In Two Overtime Periods By A 4 To 0 Score six thousand spectators crowding the field, the Brunswick Fire Company, winner of the McFaddin league title, yesterday went down to defeat at the hands of the Lincoln hooters in the Roland Cup elimination game, sponsored by the Maryland State Soccer Association, but only after the teams had battled two extra fifteen minute periods at Patterson Park in Baltimore. Lincoln kicked oil as Brunswick won the toss and chose the field, kicking into the wind.

Play for the major part of the first half-was in Brunswick territory, the Lincoln club forcing four corners against one for the Firemen. Due to fine ork by Grams and Walker, the winners were unable to score, the halt' Will I AM RITT ending 0 to 0. Extra Periods Needed by them in the next two games. They have all the confidence in the world and feel that Powers, and McKinley, high scorers for the Chevies in their game in Hancock, will be stopped here and stopped plenty. The majority of the Powers shots were made by laying back under the basket which.

hangs against the wall and taking the ball, by his unusual height and size aud pushing it along the wall and dropping it in for two points. However, the local guards feel that on a large floor he will be held to a low score. Fiery Comes Back Fiery, who has been on the bench for the past couple of weeks due to a -heavy cold, will be back in the lineup tonight and will be. in shape for their tussle with Hancock on Thursday. The locals must win this game to push the series to the three game limit and the 'fans who turn out will see two teams in there battling for all they are worth.

Shaw, high scorer for the locals, was off badly in his shooting in Hancock and the locals lack of floor Being accustomed to the large playing floor at the Armory the locals are handicapped on a small floor and feel that this in a measure', helped defeat them last Thursday. The locals will have their full team available for the game Thursday night with Fiery back in the lineup and Towson here for. the game. They will use the following Ryan, Shaw, Minnich, Robison, Fiery, Mets, "Martin, George. Towson.

Dudley and Bowman. This game is scheduled for on Armory floor on Thursday uiglit with Frank Colley and Doc Lightner landing the The second half with the wind to their backs found the Brunswick lads pounding away at the Lincoln goalie, but he rose at occasion to make a fine save. The firemen forced three corner kicks to one for the winners in this half and were the most aggressive. Two minutes before the whistle, a hard shot by a Lincoln half back nearly brought disaster to the Brunswick lads' hopes but the ball hit the cross bar and bounded back into the playing field. Two extra fifteen minute periods were then in store for the fans.

Play was slow for a while, with each afraid to take any unnecessary chances, but after live minutes play, a nice shot by Shuab, which bounded off a Brunswick back, got away Central Press Sports Editor news that Jack Johnson, one-time ebony monarch oC the heavies, is assaying another comeback IB unimportant save that it probably sets a new world's record for comeback attempts. This is about the fifteenth or sixteenth time, that the ex-Galvestou, stevedore has re-eutered the ring business as an active mauler. latest return to the res- ined battleground, at the age of 53, is undoubtedly the result of his unbounded lack of enthusiasm for current heavyweights- Johnson thinks most of" the scrappers of today are just punks. But 53 is no age at which to try to prove that theory by personal activity. Old Jack is regarded by some a the greatest of heavyweights, bu th.e fact remains that he strutted hi best stuff at a time when the heavj weight talent was far inferior even to the current brand.
