PAGE EIGHTEEN THE EVENING OBSERVER, DUNKIRK, N. THURSDAY, FEB. Vets Belabor All-Stars, 49-35; Acquavians Skin Past, 28-24 By GEERY WISER Throwing an impregnable Iron curtain around the under-bucket area, padlocking the spot and toss- Ing away the key, the league champion VFW bucket brigade effectively displayed their cham- pionihip caliber Wednesday night by trouncing the league All- Stan, 49-35, before a slim crowd Of 400. In" the first game of the doubleheader, the Acquavia Post five displayed their title ability by edging the league All-Stars, 28- J4. The games wound up city league court activity for the year.

The champion Vets' got off to a flying start before the game was a naif minute old when Borowski broke scoring ice with a deuce from down under. Borowski and Howard added another pair of buckets for a six point lead before all-star Wolmering tallied on a charity toss. Briggs sent in another pair of points from way out for the All-Stars and from then on in until mid way through the second quarter both outfits broke out in a scoring rash that left the crowd breathless. It was an even exchange all the way with the Vets enjoying the same margin of For Safe--WINTER DRIVING buy tires, chains and batteries here! have a good supply of them now in LAUFFER'S Mobil Mafai 4th Phone 3000 KEEP YOUR CAR READY TO GO IN ANY WEATHER!

Beyond that point the Vets tightened their defense and the All-Stars at bay while they accelerated their own pace with buckets from all Periodically the All-Stars shook off their shackles and pulled up within sight of the Vets with noteworthy accuracy from quarter'and mid court but in each Instance the Vets quickly recovered, zip- oed the ball around the court and poured it down the middle where Borowski and Howard were waiting to dump it in. Jake Lakas, standout guard for the Vets, forged into the supporting role by dribbling around his adversaries and sending' lys overhand hook shot swishing the bucket at regular intervals. Reilly and Briggs were outstanding for the All-Stars with 15 and 10 points respectively. Stymied in the efforts to work the ball in for lay-ups, the two set up set shot stations at mid court and the sidelines and poured in the dueces. In the preliminary bill of the All-Star tilt the Acquavia post loop champs weathered a final quarter uprising by the league All-Stars for a 28-24 decision.

Out in front by one point at the intermission, the Acqua- vians posted a ten' point spree in the third and held their foes to as neat a goose egg as has been seen locally in years. Going into the finale the All- Stars poured oh the coal with a 12 point rally that fell short when the champions rose to the occasion with 5 more points on their side of the Scoreboard and a well earned 28-24 decision.

"Beaver pelt prices today are only about a third of what they were last year," Duryea-said, "so this is a good time to allow the population to increase until cropping of the surplus, for proper management, will be permissible and, it is hoped, prices more favorable for the trappers.

York Yankees was back to ndr- today, shouting defiance at Yankee detractors despite his intention to keep quiet and let Arthur Patterson do his talking. In a prepared statement, MacPhail put a heavy blast on Washington Senator owner Clark who said the Yanks would "go into a tailspin and fall apart." "He is against everybody and everything except unlimited night baseball," the Yank president charged. "He is even opposed to the pension pay for major league players. He wrote a letter to every clujp in both leagues attacking the plan on the grounds that players are paid too much as it is and that we should not worry about what happens to players after -they are through." MacPhail released his statement in the middle of an exhibition game in which the Yanks looked almost as bad as Griffith paints them.

Five Yank errors helped a Puerto Rican all-star team run up a four-run lead, and the all- stars stole five bases. But the Yanks rallied with out in the ninth and scored four runs to win, 8 to 6. Clearwater, Fla. (UP)--Philip Kennedy, 19-year-old Brooklyn- ite, is a member of the Philadel- phia'Phillies today, proving that the way to a baseball manager's heart is through his stomach. Kennedy was turned down cold when he asked the Phils for a tryout, so he took a job as bus boy in the Fort Harrison hotel.

At dinner he served Phils coach Cy Morgan two pats of butter and Morgan talked Manager Ben Chapman into giving him another chance. Kennedy took part in infield practice and so impressed Chapman that the youngster was signed to a Phillie contract on the spot. Orlando, Fla.

Max Bentley scored three goals and an assist as the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Rangers, 9 to 7, and now is only two points behind Maurice Richard of Montreal, who was scoreless as his team edged Toronto, 1 to 0, in the only other game. Richard has 58 points, Max Bentley has 56, and Doug Bentley, who got four goals and two assists last now has 53 points.

Montreal has played 51 games and Chicago only 48. Max won the scoring title last season with 61 points in 4V games. The Bentleys' unerring shooting kept Chic-ago in front all the way against New York, although the Rangers rallied several times and the game was not definitely settled until Max Bentley scored with little more than, a minute to go.

BILL IS TARGET OF NEW mum Albany, (UP)---A third "march" on the state capitol in ten days is scheduled for Saturday. The Inter Collegiate Unity today weighed defense arguments presented at a clemency hearing in behalf of three convicted New York city slayers. Depending on whether or not the governor decides to commute their sentences rests the 'fate of three Astoria, L. war veterans. Edward Kahkoska, 23, Edward Koberski, 23, and Henry P.

Suckow, 25, are scheduled to die next week for the June 8, 1946 robbery- slaying of Antonio Marchisella. Assistant District Attorney Henry W. Schober of Queens county brought out at the clemency hearing yesterday that the three had confessed to authorities to the rape of an 18-year-old high school girl and the killing of her escort in New York's Central Park. Their confession to the bludgeoning of Jack Hylands in Qentral Park only three hours before they shot and killed Marchisella, he said, was obtained after they had been arrested for the Astoria murder. Defense attorneys, in their arguments before Dewey, cited the war records of the three defendants.

They asserted that lack of a sufficient rehabilitation period after service discharge may have contributed to their tendency towairl crime. Kahkoska, Kob'erski and Suckow had seen considerable combat duty. They were sentenced by Queens County Judge Thomas Dowris and the death penally imposed was later sustained by the court of appeals.

Council of New York city made known plans to send delegates to Albany to support the bill. Yesterday the New York State Catholic Welfare committee strongly protested the Austln-Mahoney bill as un-American In the method it proposes." In a telegram to Democratic and Republican legislative leaders, the committee submitted "its protest to the passage of the Austin-Mahoney bill or any like measure for the reason given and urges the deters! of legislation on this important topic until the report of the young commission is received and considered." The commission referred to by the committee is the Owen D. Young commission on the need for a state university. "Unjust discrimination always has been and is condemned as contrary to the principles and doctrines of the church," the telegram "As the history of our country testifies, Catholics have been the victims of discrimination throughput the years. the Aus- tin-Mahoncy bill which has for its purpose the elimination of discrimination on the basis of race, color or creed, contains passages and provisions which infringe: on the fundamental rights of parents and which are impossible of just enforcement." The telegram was signed by Most Rev.

CANISIUS RALLY TRIPS SYRACUSE FIVE, 67-58 Syracuse, (UP)-- Syracuse university's high-flying basketball quintet suffered a rude setback here last night when an invading Canisius college quintet rallied furiously in the late minutes to trim the Orangemen, 67-58. The triumph avenged an earlier five-point setback Canisius received at the hands of Syracuse and was the latter club's fourth loss in 21 games. Ed Stiekel and Billy Gabor, who connected for 21 and 18 points respectively, led Orangemen to a 33-31 halftime advantage. Mut Canisius, fighting back gamely, broke a 56-all deadlock with four minutes to go and pulled away to victory. Hank O'Keeffee bagged 19 counters to capture scoring honors for Canisius, but substitute guard Mauro Panaggio proved a tremendous aid as he flipped in 13, including one of the decisive buckets in the waning minutes.

Hitting a scant 19 per cent of their shots, the Blue Devils got off a new low in number of attempts at the nets. 49. while Coach Mai Eiken's Bulls hit only a middling 28 per cent average but lofted 95 shots as Eiken emptied the bench to get his entire 16-man squad into action. Even at their previous worst the Fredonians hadn't been victims of such a debacle as Lou Corriere and Art Burke tossed at them in the first ten minutes of play. The Teachers seemed dead on their foot and about all the Bulls needed to'do was fake and go in.

Afer. ten minutes, the teachers trailed, 19-1. Corriere, an dangerous lhrc.it all the time he was in, appeared to lose interest in trying to run up any record score. A fine team- man and play-maker, he set up one Buffalo score after another. The Teachers began to collect themselves somewhat against Eiken's second and third stringers and when Corriere and company came back out for the third period, things were fairly even tor about five minutes as Ed Dailey got his hook going for a short Barons, Caps Victors; Bisons Nip Ramblers The Cleveland Baroni moved into a one-point lead in the American Hockey league today af- 'ter beating the St.

Louis Flyers, 9 to 2, last night while the Hershey Bears were held to a 4-4 tie by the Pittsburgh Hornets. The Barons, who lead the Hornets by two points in the Western division, had no trouble with the Flyers, taking a 6-0 lead in the first period and coasting the rest of the way. Pete Leswick and John Holota led the attack against the last-placers with two goals each. The Hornets, who have not been beaten in their last 18 games-longest streak of its kind in league history, were paced by defense- men Ernie Dickens, who had a triple. The deadlock left the Bears with 75, points, against 76 for Cleveland and 74 for Pittsburgh.

The Indianapolis Capitols stayed one point behind Pittsburgh by trimming Providence, 6 to 5, on a disputed last-second goal by Al Dewsbury. The Buffalo Bisons remained one point behind Indianapolis by downing New Haven: 5 to 4. time. The rally petered out, ever and not until the final minutes, with Bull second atriac- err in action most of the war, did the Fredonians play OB anything like even terms. In the preliminary, the Buffalo also had things pretty much their own wav lomped to a 39-21 over Fredonia Jayvees.
