An insulting remark, and not a right hook to the Jaw, was blamed today by Lawrence "Big Boy" Rawson for his failure as a main bout boxer. Rawson, knocked out by Bob Mills, of Franklin, N. here several days ago, asked the Suffolk superior court for an injunction restraining his uncle, Thomas R. Rawson, boxing' coach at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from harassing him for interfering while he was pursuing his ring career.

The boxer charged that his uncle's insults enmged him while he was boxing Mills and that, when he turned to glare him Into silence, his opponent floored him with a hard right hook to the Jaw. "I had Mills down for nine three times in the third round and was about to polish him off in the fourth when my uncle starting razzing me from a third row scat." Rawson explained to Judge Ellas B. Bishop. Judge Bishop granted the 20,000 WITNESS SCRAP in Two Thousand Fans See Coach Frank Maguirc's Passers Down Luzerne Team In Contest At Watres Armory Winners to Play Either Hazleton or Lansdowne No Knockdowns Scored Garden Setto Bobby Brady Defeats Kid Roy Dunmore and Old Forge, the teams that have won their way into the finals of the Penn State Basketball League championship series, will meet in the first game of the series in the Dunmore ball "park pavilion tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock sharp following a preliminary game that will commence at 2:30 o'clock.

He weighed 128; Brady 129. Al. Rowe. spidery MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, March 15 Al Singer, sensational young Bronx featherweight, gained a close decision over Bud Taylor, Terre Haute veteran tonight, in a slashing ten round return match that drew 20,000 to the big fight arena. There were no knockdowns.

Taylor scaled 125 1 2, Singer, 128 1 4. Leo Kid Roy, a punching featherweight hurricane from Montreal and Irish Eobby Brady, slim Jersey City blonde, threatened to steal the show with a sparkling ten round semi ftnal that kept the crowd in an uproar. When the decision was given to Brady the roar of disapproval lasted several minutes. Both were down for counts of nine, Bardy in the first round from a left to the chin and Roy in the second from Rose, Levy, Peters, Evans and Roche will probably be used by Old Forge with Baker, Salltls and others in reserve. The game of the series will be played in Columbus hall, Old Forge, Tuesday night, and a toss of the coin will determine where a third game will be played if one is necessary.

NAVY'S FOOTBALL SCHEDULE The 1929 football schedules for the Navy eleven Includes games with Denl son, Williams and Mary, Notre Dame, Princeton, Penn, Georgetown, Wake Forest, West Virginia Wesleyan and Dartmouth. swamped Johnny Lawson, of Brentwood, N. with left hand punches to win an easy decision in a six round affair, Rowe scaled 129'i, Lawson 130'i. H. Leo Dazzo New York, 129, won the decision in the opening four rounder over Benny Martini, New York, 128.

i St. Patrick' Dance, Hotel Jermyn, Monday. Adv This game promises to be one of the most hotly contested or tne year, lor six of the leading scorers of the State league will be in tne line ups Dean, Oister and Jones, of Dunmore. and Evans, Rose and Levy, of Old Forge. Dean was first among the scorers and Evans second with Oister and Jones third and fourth and Ross and Levy close behind.

Unlike the Plttston Dunmore games in which close guarding features; Old Forge and Dunmore play open games each depending upon being able to get the ball through the hoop more often than the other and a high score game with plenty of shots from the field can be looked for. Captain Carl Oister will start himself and "Turk" Jones up front, Harold Walsh In the center, and Lloyd and Dean at guards and Oolden and Fowler ready to step in if needed.

The president, John ft, Snyder, requests that til members attend this meotlng, Farrcll Doesn't Think Carri gnn's Club Will Be Any Better Than in 1928 HAS 41 PLAYERS IN CAMP Will Present Changed Lineup As Result of Trade With Washington Team By HENRY L. FARRELL, NEA Service Sports Editor BRADENTON, March 15. The baseball experts who duck the wintry winds and snows of the north and clown around under the warm south ern skies in quest of news about the major league nail clubs usually are able to approach the manager of the clubs and get from him some information that should be authentic about his old ball players.

At least, it Is a trick of the trade to pass the buck on the manager when you tell your readers that Johnny Looicout is going to oe the greatest pitcher In the league and Johnny turns up with Podunk on the first of May. It was unfortunate that our little party of experts turned up here to look over the Boston Red Sox on the day that Mr. BUI Carrlgan elected to take his club to see the animals in the winter headquarters of the Ringling And Mr Carrlgan couldn't be annoyed to talk about baseball. He said he had 41 players in 'the camp and that he didn't know anything else. So he presented the prob lem flatly to the expert to expert for himself.

And this expert is experting with the opinion that the Boston Red Sox will not get any farther in the American league pennant race than they did last year, and that wasn't very far. And this isn't peered talking. It is Just a size up of the roster of the players the Red Sox have to present to the better clubs of the league this year. As a result of the trade with the Washington during the off season which sent Buddy Myer away, the Red Sox will have to present a changed line up this season. If it will be any better you will have to guess for yourself.

Rogell and Rollings, who were used as utility inflelders last year, also have gone so has Slim Harris, the longest pitcher In captivity. In the deal for Myer with Washington, the Red Sox got Pitchers Milton Gaston and Harold Llsenbee. Neither are hot, although Llsenbee might win some games if he has cured a sick stomach. In the same deal they also got two Inflelders, Bob Reeves and Grant Oil lis, and the Red Sox don't know where to use them. Reeves might develop into the greatest hitter in the league if Carrlgan would use his hard stuff and make him change his stance at the plate.

The Washington players, who know Reeves well, say he should be used at second base, but Carrlgan obliged with the Information that he didn't know where he would use him. By the right of selection, whatever that Is and supposedly it la the same thing as the vulgar word, the draft, the Red Sox acquired two other Inflelders, Robert Barrett and Jerry Standaert; and they bought two others, Inflelders, Hal Rhyne and a fellow named Narleski. Where he is going to use them, Mr. Carrlgan said he did not know. Perhaps they are lion tamers that he was taking to Sarasota for a trial It was acquired by way of the newspaper secret channel that Todt will be on first bass again, that Regan wU lhave a fight for second base with Barrett and Standaert and that old Wally Oerber will have to sweat plenty to hold shortstop against Gillls, Rhyne and Reeves.

Mr. Reevea may be assigned to third base. Mr. Carrlgan said he didn't know. But If he puts Reeves on third base and Todt plays first, poor Mr.

Todt had better rent himself a baby tank because he never can tell where Reeves Is going to throw or where Reeves is going to hit him with the ball. He's the world's worst thrower. The outfield may be dismissed with a paragraph. Williams, Flagstead, and TaUt will be tripping over their feet as regulars, and Scarritt, Bigelow, Loepp and Dumas will help them when Mr. Carrlgan decides which he wants to keep.

There are a couple of good pitchers on the club that the Yanks wanted badly. Big Ed Morris and Charley Ruffing. There also are Danny Mac Fayden, spelled funny for an Irishman, and the fellow Gaston. And the Gaston boy. If he makes the grade, will pitch to his brother, Alex, forming the only brother battery the league.

There Isnt any more to be written about the Red Box. Mr. Carrlgan said he didnt know anything about his rookies and you cant Judge rookies on the records. There should be someone around to roar about If you are to have a good spring training camp story. But I cant roar about those rookies because I don't know anything about them.

But I'U whisper that the Red Sox aren't a dark horse in the American League race and that they aren't even to be feared. Duryea Triumphs, Dickson Loses in Bloomsburg Games BLOOMSBURO. March IS (P). Mahanoy City, Newport township, Larksville. Coal townshiD.

Less than two thousand spectators, barely half of the anticipated attendance of approximately five thousand spectators, filled the temporary bleachers In the spacious drill shed and witnessed the courageous Ma guiremen, minus their pivot man and nucleus of the team, Edgar Rissmil ler, retard a last quarter Natlcoke rally to hold their slim lead.

Neither team showed championship form and the game was loosely played, but sensational from the start. Both contenders, meeting for the third time in five years for the district flag, were awkward in their receiving and passing, with the ultimate result that the victory was in a quandary up until the last minute of play. A favorite to cop the championship and continue its campaign for the state scholastic title. Natlcoke was battled to a standstill by the fighting Monroe county players. Led by Rissmiller and Lambert, the Strouds tallied as many field goals as the brilliant Wermuth, Dillon, Galazin and Sudow.

the Blue and White stars, who swept to victory for fifteen successive times before yielding in defeat. Naticoke's beating lay in its crude attempts at stopping East Strouds burg's offense, built around the giant Rissmiller. In their defense, the Nans were charged with twenty six fouls with the consequence that East Stroudsburg was successful in thirteen of the attempts from the fifteen foot mark. The difference in the fouls scored, 13 to 9, gave the Maguiremen their surprising but well earned triumph. The continual rough play on the part of both teams exacted its tall.

Rissmiller was removed from the game midway in the third period, while Galazin and Dillon. Naticoke's crack forwards, retired to the bench in the second and third quarters, respectively. While East Stroudsburg's offensive was noticeably weakened by the ab sence of Rissmiller, the team Displayed the courage of a real champion and continued its battle, stemming Nanticoke's spurt with a defense that was astonishing in both its effectiveness and suddenness. The lead alternated more than a half dozen times during the tussle, with Nantlcoke gaining its greatest lead as the second quarter reached its termination, and the champions holding their greatest advantage shortly before Rissmiller was forced from the struggle In the third period. The score at these respective Junctures were 20 15 and 27 22.

East 8troudsburg led at the end of three of the four periods, Naticoke making its greatest showing in the second quarter when Wermuth and Galazin displayed some of their potential powers. The first period ended at 10 9, the second 22 10, the third 31 27 and the final 35 31. Nantlcoke drew first blood and held a four point lead when Dillon tallied a field goal and two fouls shortly after the game got under way. Two fouls by Rissmiller and pointers by Long and Heller shoved the champions Into the lead. Wermuth shot a foul and RissmiUer another free toss.

The former garnered a pair of free tosses and a field goal, but Lam berg and Rissmiller through with free tries and gave the Strouds the lead. 10 0, as the period closed. After East Stroudsburg piled up a 15 11 lead in the second period, the Nans showed the best form of the game and looped four fleldgoals in less than two minutes on signal plays. Despite East Stroudsburg's comeback, the Nans held their lead when the half closed, 22 20. East Stroudsburg took the lead as the third period progressed with Rissmiller scoring three field goals in about five minutes.

He was removed from the game with the score at 29 24 in favor of the Blue, and White. As If sure of triumph with their opponents' big star out of the game, the Nans opened a spirited rally but It died with Wermuth' field goal when the champs tightened its defense and plaved the Nans, man for man. Rissmiller and Wermuth, the leading figures on both teams, led their aggregations in scoring and remarkably coincident both gathered the same number of point, eleven. Wermuth cut scored Rissmiller from the field, popping four double deckers to his rival's three two pointers. antiroke Plavera T.
