(Special) Rallying in the last five minutes of play, the fast quintet of the Heath High school scored seven points but were unable to overcomo an early lead of the five of Lynn Grove High school who won, 20. to 14, here tonight.

The Lynn Grove team, showing complete reversal of form, passed, dribbled and shot their way to the victory. The McCracften team, sble score but seven points in the first thirty-five minutes of play, staged a whirlwind rally in the- closing five minutes but the final blast of the timer's whistle found them still distant from their goal. Apparently" tired by their vic tory over the strong Almo team here last night, the Heath five lacked the fight and pep that was prevalent in the contest with Almo. Arnett for the Lynn Urove team played a stellar game at guard and T. Dorian and Cochran were the scoring aces for the winners.

Immanuel Wildcats Beat Endeavor 5 The Wildcats of the Immanuel Baptist church and the Endcavorcr of the Murrell Boulevard Christian church met yesterday morning in the gym of the First Christian church, and after an exciting strug-. gle the Wildcats won 20 to 18. Wildest (20) Endeavor (18) Coleman Hale Smith Burnett Lewis C' King Terrell Brown Brake Crane BY AHERN imThb ELEVENTH iV'j i 4 i I BY JOE WILLIAMS Pancho Villa didn't deal in in dividual haymakers; he bartered in wholesale quantities and he was seldom cheated in a trade.

You never spoke of Pancho'i punch you gibbered in high, hysterical notes of "Pancho a punches." The Golden Atom, flyweight champion, who died "in office" in San Francisco last summer from complications arising from an ulcerated tooth, was one of the most savage, whirlwind types of fighters the modern game has known, It was this constantly battering style of battle that won the brown-skinned Filipino the fly weight championship of the world from Johnny Buff, the American, at field, Brooklyn, Sep- temoer 14, isza. Starting at the opening gong, Villa pounced upon Buff with such a shower of left and right hooks the champion was bewildered. There was no adequate defense for such an attacker. Nobody tries to tight back at a tornado. Villa responded to each lead by Buff with five blows of his own, beating a tattoo on Johnny's face and body like cold November rain slapping on a tavern roof.

As the fight wore on Buff be gan swinging wild and -Villa's con fidence grew. His speed of hand and foot was so great he made you think of a bumble bee darting in and out while his enemy struck wildly and. ineffectually. Johnny weakened perceptibly in the sixth. He had put his full force in a straight punch that landed squarely, without slowing the Golden Atom in the least It seemed to take the heart out of the American.

The blow that told ringsiders they, were gazing upon a new champion came in the tenth. Buff ventured a left. Villa responded with a rush and flurry of fists. Out of the confusion there suddenly darted a lithe brown right glove that crashed squarely into Buff's jaw. The champion staggered half way across the ring.

Villa was after him like a cat after a mouse. Both hands swinging, he rocked Buff from side to side with a fusillade of blows. A stray right connected with Johnny's jaw and he toppled to his hands and knees. Buff, badly muddled, made his first serious mistake of the fight at this point. Without waiting for the count to give him a chance to round up some widely scattered wits, he staggered back to his feet and tried to slug with Villa.

A blurred' flurry and spectators had their second glimpse of Buff skidding to the canvas, his nose neatly dividing the resm for several inches. As the champion lay squirming on the floor, with Referee Patsy Haley slowly chanting him out, the bell tinkled, saving Buff from a certain knockout. Buff's second did what they could with him during the breath ing spell, but Johnny came out for the eleventh still out on his feet. Villa met him with a storm of lefts and rights, buffeting the groggy champion like a reed in a storm. Buff finally dropped his hands hopelessly and at that moment a towel sailed into' the ring!

FIND WHITE MULE Ten half pints of whiskey hidden between the bed clothes in the home of Zona Mae Johnston, colored, were found by the police de partment in a raid last night about 8:30 o'clock. The Johnston woman, Will Clark, colored, John Terell and his wife were implicated in the pos session of the whiskey. Terrell, who operates a grocery at 1042 Broadway, and his wife, were released on bond. The Clark negro is in jail and the woman recognized. In another raid on the home of rorier- ijittieton no liquor was found.

six points. The clever defensive playing of Captain Twitchell was also a big factor in the sparkling performance of the Tornado. The Tilghman leader, with his running mate, "Bulldog" McCormick, had little trouble in retrieving the ball from the banking board and in crumpling the passing attack of the visitors as it neared the goal. The defensive playing of Twitchell was closely seconded by that of Connor of the visitors, who with Frost performed well for the los. ers.

Cates 'at- the pivot position also gave a creditable exhibition for his team, Romper-Central City. A zealous group of Tilghman supporters and too much over-con fidence apparently caused by the early lead they too, cost the Blue Rompers their first defeat of the season by a 9 to 8 score. With the score 8 to 7 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, apparently the Rompers were off to another victory. As M. Rich took a free throw at the basket, a group of fans let out a series of boohs from under the basket.

For this' un-sportsmanship, another throw was given her, which she also missed. For the continued shouting let out during the shot, Referee Manchester gave another free throw which tied the count. The tieing of the score seemed to give the visitors renewed hope and a few minute's later they added another by the foul route which gave them their margin of victory. Visitor Show Courage. Forced to trail from the first and tired out from their game of the night before with the' Princeton girls' team, the courage of the visiting five in playing an up-hill battle was the greatest that has been shown this season by a visiting girls' quintet.

Shortly after the first quarter, the Blue Rompers ran their lead to a 7 to 2 score and were seeiri- ingly off to another easy win. Each succeeding round found the visi tors fighting more gamely and at the end of the half they were only two points behind. At the end of the third period, they were trailing by an 8-7 count and in the final period they assumed the lead. The. confidence gained by the Tornado' as a result of the early lead seemed to cause a let up in their playing and when they endeavored to regain it in the closing minutes, their efforts were short.

The fast floor work of M. Rich, visiting forward, who accounted for five of the nine points, was the bright spot of the visitors' play. Wickliffe, Hopper and Tate were best for the Rompers in their dash to go through two. regular playing seasons without a defeat. Line-ups and summaries! Central City-Romper Central City (9) Pes'.

LLOYD Central City and Tilghman high school net squads broke even last night in a double. header content at the Tilghman gymnasium, the Blue Rompers losing the' argument in the last few minutes of play by a 9 to 8 count, and the Tornado over whelming their opponents by a 28 to 5 score, Assuming the leadership at the beginning of the battle and showing their best form' of the season, the Blue- Tornado jpivoted; dribbled and shot their way to a comparatively easy victory over the golden i jorseyed five from Muhlenberg county; Tired apparently from their light with the Princeton high school team "on Friday night, the highly touted team from the up-state school could not cope with the fierce pace set by Berry, Gish and Paetznick of the Blue and White, who slung the ball in from every angle of the court in a whirlwind fashion that brought delight to the three hundred fans who braved the snowy elements to witness the contests. Attack is Relentless. Animated by a desire to retrieve the staggering defeat of Tuesday night by- Metropolis high school, the volcanic fury -of the Blue and White cagemen was unleashed from the opening whistle and continued relentlessly, until fourteen goals were, thrown from the field. At the first half, they were leading by a .4 to 1 margin and by a 10-3 count at the halfway station.

Four points -were added by the Tornado in the third eight minutes of play while their opponents were able to get only a single counter from the field. Fourteen points were accounted for by the', masterly shooting of Berry and Browne for the Tornado in the last quarter, while the Central City players were not able to make a single point. 1 i. Employing an air-tight defense that permitted only two field goals during- the thirty-two minutes of play and a dazzling floor game that swept repeatedly through the visitors' wall, the Tornado looked the part of a rejuvenated team. Their passing attack in which Berry, Mc-Cormick, Gish and Paetznick co- ordinated perfectly swept the Central City sidelines, permitting the agile Berry and his mates to drop them from under the basket with little -trouble Two Point a Off' to a rather slow start in the opening few minutes due to in- ability to- make their shots count, each minute, of the game resulted in the improvement of the Blue and "White in this department of the game.

Almost i two points a minute fourteen in eight minutes to be exact were made by the Tornado in the last quarter of the grame which was also the same number that they made during the first three quarters of the contest. The scoring in this period is probably the fastest that any Tilghman team has ever made. Fourteen of the twenty-eight points garnered by the Blue and White were made by Bill Berry, star forward, who gave his most brilliant performance of the season. Six of his fourteen points were made during the last eight minutes. Following closely behind him but out of the battle during the last period A8VUefleraavSlLaai(a1I6r 8 Ourftn.

WEVEB BEMCE MAO BUFF SEEM SO MA.NV GWVtS IN ONB EVENING YANKEE LINEUP MUCH CHANGED Major Development of Winter In The Ameri- can League By TLa Associated Pros Chicago, Jan. 23.r-The rebuild ing of the New York Yankees, American League leaders for several seasons until stepped in to take two flags in a row, has been the principal change of the winter in the junior circuit of the Major leagues.

Chicago, St. Louis and Boston also have done some purchasing of both Major and Minor talents, but Manager Miller Huggins placed all his squad except the outfield and a few veteran pitchers and expects to present some members of his new staff as regular when the curtain raises. Rumors of benching of some of the Washington veterans in favor of flashy youngsters, increase as spring draws near and Clark Griffith may feel that his aging stars can hardly stand the pace of another pennant battle as confronted them last August when Philadelphia and the Senators 1 see-sawed for the lead for several weeks. There has been talk of putting Buddy Myer at short instead of Roger Pickinpaugh and displacing Muddy Ruel, first string catcher. Connie Mack has indicated but two changes for the Athletics, the return of Joe Hauser to first base and the presence in right field of Walter French, former army athle tic star.

The St. Louis Browns, who fought valiantly when their third place hold was threatened have re ceived some bolstering in the pitch ing, including "No Hit" Charlie Robertson. The White Sox have collected one of the finest groups of box-men in the league if their winter acquisitions can hold up their pace in, the Majors. The sensation of the Minor" Leagues, Alphons Thomas of the Baltimore Internationals, was their greatest purchase; The Cleveland Indirfns "Save ri3" themselves of two seasons of bad ball, Manager Speaker says, and if Johnny Hodapp, their Indianapolis purchase, makes good at third base, the Indians may prove a formidable club. The longest winning streak of the 1925 season went to the Detroit Tigers but Manager Cobb is another who has gone in strongly for pitchers this winter.

He is still looking for a relief man for him-self, but the reliever must be pret ty good with the stick. The Boston Red Sox have been after infielders and catchers since the 1925 season closed with the team in the cellar and have also added a big right hand pitcher, Lundgren, from the Southern Association to the pitching staff. This winter the Red Sox added Emmet McCann of the Coast League to play second base alongside Dudley Lee, former Tulsa star. .1 The new catchers are mostly Major League veterans.
