Boys High sensational basketball team which recently won tbe championship of Brooklyn had no trouble In defeating Adelphi Academy on the court of the Marcy avenue institution yesterday by a score ot 36 to 6. The Brown and Gold youngBters, outweighed fully fifteen pounds to a player, put up a plucky exhibition, but were helpless before the remarkable team work of their more experienced opponents. Boys High Jumped out In front right after the start, and was never beaded. The Red and Black students led at tho 93il the craze for free publicity and hand-made halos that some lightweight has not Introduced that bill before. The New York Legislature has suffered from such a plethora of 2x4 intellects for a number of years that we would not have been startled if we had seen thirty or forty of the baseball commission bills brought up every session.

The bill that has come at last provides that 5 per cent, of the receipts from all games where admission is charged shall go to the State, of which receipts 3 per cent, shall go to the public playgrounds and 2 per cent, to the payment of the "expenses" of the commission. The public playgrounds clause Is merely a cheap appeal to make a hit with people of the caliber of the introducer of this disingenuous proposition. The real object is to have the commission on the State payrolls and to give a lot of four-flushing politicians a better chance to have a finger in the baseball pie. Political sandbaggers can, and do, shake down the clubs for tickets as things are now. It Irvine- Rosenberg of the Pennant A.

The game was close and hard fought all the way, and it was not until the final minutes of play that the Long Islanders drew away from their opponents. McKenna, center on the visiting quintet, was the tirst to score when he dropped a foul into the basket immediately after the opening whistle. Maxwell quickly tied It up by caging another foul.

Field baskets by McNamara and De Croot gave Far Rockaway a lead of 5 to i. The play for the remainder of the half was nip and tuck, and when intermission was called the Queensboro title holders were on the long end of a 14 to 9 score.

Brilliant work by McKenna McNamara and De Groat, however, secured a commanding lead for tbe sturdy Long Island aggregation, and although the local lads struggled bard to ward off defeat, they were behind by 83 to 14 when the final whistle blow. Captain Howard Maxwell of Poly gave a sensational all-around exhibition.

In addition to the McCoy angle to this "match," It should be remembered that Carpentler was recently heavily fined, and, according to some reports, was suspended for several months, by the French boxing authorities for engaging in a bout with a faker who called himself tbe champion of Scotland, but who was a dub who never held any such title.

Anyhow, Carpentler was convicted of being In a phoney, which will make It more difficult for the subscribers to picture the McCoy-Carpentler "bout" as the real thing, but will make It a better test of their capacltes for romancing. or -square ooxlng" did be arrive at such a conclusion.

McKenna, McNamara and De Groot were the stars from a Far Rockaway standpoint.

The preliminary game between the second teams of Poly Prep and Brooklyn Prep produced one of the hardest Sgbts seen on a local court this season. At the conclusion of the regulation fifteen-minute periods tbe teams were tied at 24 to 24. In an extra session of Ave minutes Poly caged two fouls, while the best the Crown Helghters could do was to tally tioned that tickets for tbe world's series had fallen into the hands of speculators. That elves an excellent line on tbe mental capacity of the author of tbe measure. He felt a surging desire to pose as a "friend of the common people" and do a Bill Sulzer all by his little self, but did not know how to go about It, so picked out the baseball scheme.

It Is to laugh. The world's series clubs for the past few years have been sincerely anxious to serve their patrons as best tbey knew how tor tbe big show. In every case where they have failed they bave been throttled by municipal and State officials, who threatened, or hinted, or Intimated by Inuendo, that If the clubs did not come across trouble would follow in the way of useless Inspections, rigid application of every technicality of the law, withdrawal of police protection In handling crowds, and so on.
