Coach Ratayski's Cagers Defeat Red and White in Matinee Encounter, 32 24 LUZERNE QUINT TAKES THIRD PLACE IN LOOP Passes Out Taylor High to Regain Former Position in League Standings Duryea high school out scored Technical, 32 to 24, on the Central high gymnasium yesterday afternoon and as a result passed out Taylor to regain third place in the Senior league race.

Tne Luzerne team held its present position a fortnight ago but was forced to give way to the Red and Blue upon losing successive games to the latter school and Old Forge. This was the second time Coach Ratayski brought his cagers to this city. Two weeks ago Duryea menaced Central's hold on second place but dropped the tussle with the Elue and Gold. Since then the Blue and White went into a slump and failed to show previous brilliant form. Yesterday Duryea again displayed sparkling form to defeat the Red and White.

Duryea led at half time, 19 to 11, and maintained a commanding margin throughout the closing quarters. Roberts, forward, with 10 points was the visitors' leading scorer. He tallied five field goals. Barth and Zigmont each looped three field goals and a pair of fouls to gain runner up scoring honors. Each team made a half dozen free tries.

WANTS ANOTHER TRIAL Stan tsaumrartner, who has been unsuccessful in all previous big league trials, has several offers to try again and will do so this season if he can get his release from the Seattle club. Bellevue Featherweight Will Get Chance Against a Real Fighter Tomorrow Night Boxing fans who have watched the steady climb of Tommy Gerrity, Bellevue southpaw and who have been anxious to see him against a real good boy will get that chance tomorrow night in tho Dunmore ball park pavilion when Gerrity goes against Al Holtzman, whom Max "Boo Boo" Hoff considers the best 126 pound boy he has in his famous stable. Gerrity was originally scheduled to meet "Midget" Fox, but Fox received an injury to his eye while boxing in Atlantic City Monday nirht and Hoff is sending along a better boy so as to cause no disappointment. Gerrity goes on in a si round bout in a show in which Al Jackson, the classy little Italian from Dunmore, will meet Charley Pinto, of Buffa'o, N. in an eight round bout which is designed to settle an argument which started here a week ago when Pinto and Jackson fought a sensational sir round draw.

after which each boy contended that he could stop the other if the bout had two more rounds to go. Jackson has worked hard for this bout, as he realizes that if he can put across a clean victory over Pinto, who has knocked down Ruby Goldstein, he will gain considerable prestige. Jackson's work in the ring has already attracted the attention of some New York managers, who feel that he has everything that is needed to make him a top notcher except experienc and training. There are two other six round bouts on the card, one in which Eddie McCarthy, the scrappy little lad from Avoca, will batt'e Jimmy Oc cipenti, of Dunmore, and another in which Patsey Healey. of Pittston.

will go against Joe Lawson, a lad who has been developed by "Boo Boo" Hoff, noted for his pleasing fighters. The Dunmore A. C. has arranged for arkin" space in the ball park and close to it with no extra charge for parking of autos. man Wanamaker trophy in winning I the Overton Memoral mile event.

Sol Furth, former New York school boy champion, romped in to an easy victory in the Middle Atlantic states collegiate 50 yard hurdle event, one of the early features in the long program. Furth wearing the colors of New York University, finished a yard ahead of Mcconaghv, Havcrford. who pulled up in second place. Wro bel. New York University, was third.

The winner's time was 6 3 5 seconds. Loring McMillan, the Union star, staged a great finish to capture the Samuel J. Dallas. 1.000 yard handicap event. He worked his way up from far back through a tremendous field and sprinted into the lead in the final lap to kill off Bernie McCafferty's spurt in the home stretch.

Ray Conger flashed a great exhibition when he won the first heat of the "660." The race was run in two sections with the fastest time deciding the places. Eddie Swinburne, winner of the event last year, captured the second heat, but his time in winning we.s only fast enough to give him third nlnee, a full second slower than Sober's.
