First Defeat of Season
While Lockmakcrs Win
From Russell & Envin.
The old factory league Is develop
ins lnio a nip ami tuck race now
nil today lour teams, Fafnir, Lan
ders, C. C. I.., oml P. and F. Corbln,
re tioil for ilrst place, each with
three victories ami .one loss. Fafnir
tumbled from the sol" possession of
first place last night when the youths
from Landers' gave theiu their first
defeat of the sen son, winning a well
'played game 32 to 23. Jn the sec
ond game thetRussel! nnd Envin
tf.um, after playing very loosely in
the first half, came within an ace of
tlofcatiiifc the Cabinet Lock, but lost
out In the final two minutes by a
score of 34 to ;s.
All four teams who played last
right gave good exhibitions and
especially pleasing was the Improve
ment shown by Russell and lirwin
after the first half. While these
..boys have yet to win a game, they
ere hard workers and the fact that
they are trailing does not take their
pep from thorn. "Chick" Hayes
rcferced both games and did his
usual satisfactory job. As all games
were played hard, there were sev
eral Injuries, but from hard playing
father than from intentional rough-
,.'ness. Harold Velr of the Fafnir
team was compelled to leave the
, Kama with an injured leg and V.
Preisser of Landers was forced out
when, in jumping for the ball, lie
fell and landed on the end of his
spine. It was at first feared he was
seriously injured, but later his con
dition was found to be better.
Landers vs. Fafnir
Ttlght off the hop. Landers started
iut to win and led at the end of the
first half, H to ). After 10 seconds
of play Beloln fouled Luke and the
clever little Landers leader shot a
foul for the first point of the game.
Less than a minnto later the tables
- were reversed, hut Heloin missed.
The teams had been battling a min
ute and in seconds before the first
tield goal wasMhrown. Then Luke
took one. out of scrimmage and
made the score S-0. Landers. Then
Anderson fouled Klatka and he add
ed another point. A long shot by
3"uke McCabo gave Landers their
" sixth uninterrupted score and Faf
nir did not tally until four minutes
of play had etapsed. Then Harold
"Weir made good on one free try
a iter McCabi: fouled him. Anderson
then shot a free try for Fafnirs' sec
ond point. At this point there was
considerable scrimmaging under the
Fafnir basket and Luke took two
shots but missed. He followed the
hall, however, and batted it in on his
third try. Fafnirs' third tally fol
lowed when Anderson dropped in
' another free try.
It was not until seven and a half
, minutes had elapsed that Fafnir got
Into the field goal column. Then it
was that Red Nelson got his eye
working nnd coged a double decker.
Klatka followed with a two-pointer
find Anderson split even on two free
tries, making the count 10 to 6.
Another foul gave Lnke two free
- tries and he collected a point on
both. Here the Landers boys rallied
' liack to team work and n beautiful
triple pass, McCabo to Luke to Bu-K-herri
netted a two pointer for the
, last named. Paulson entered the
' Fam for Fafnir, taking Boloin's place
find soon got a free try after a foul,
giving his outtit th-lr seventh point.
Vcir had been shooting wildly all
evening, but his shots all went wide
of their mark intil near the close
of the halt when he pleased himself
and the Fafnir fans by caging the
second of Fafnir's lone two field
goals in the half. Billy Preisser was
forced out of the-game when. he fell
n.the end of his mine, in jumping
for the ball, rrivine a painful,
though apparently not serious injury.
The Second Half
Kerlyza went into Hie game for
lenders and Beloln again went into
the lineup, these two immediately
flashing into form with field goals,
followed by another by Nelson, then
ene, by Anderson, sen another by
J'eloin made the game one of the
rip and tuck kind for it was Faf
nir's loth point, while the leaders
were but one point al'ead. Here
McCabe fouled Weir ar.d the latter
missed hi3 chance to put. his team in
the lead. Kerlyza and McCabe fol
lowed with double deckers but again
Beloin came through with one from
the field and another field goal by
Weir made the count J 9-20, with
Fafnir trailing by ths on point.
Bucherrl replaced Kerlyza and
Weir, after being fouled by Luke,
tied ths score at 20 all. McCab
fouled Gerhkowskl and he made
good, putting Fafnir In ths lead by
one point tor the tlrst time In ths
game. Duke then tied tt up with a
free try but Beloln romped away
with another double decker and Faf
nir led again. On a foul, Luke made
It 22 to 23 and Klatka pushed one
up from underneath, putting Lam
ders oris ahead of Fafnir. Gohr
kowskl, who had not been playing a
spectacular game to this point, here
flushed brilliantly with a field goal
and again Fafnir led. But Luke and
Klatka then went Into high gear and
each tallied In quirk succession, but
Gehrkowskl again came through and
the score was 27-28, with Landers
only one to the good. Bucherrl and
Luke shot fouls but Paulson, who
had returned, shot two fouls, mak
ing the count 30-27, It looked like
a possible overtime game, but Bu
cherrl put It on Ice when ho regis
tered a field goal Just before the
whistle and the game ended 32-25
and Fafnir had had their first taste
of defeat.
The feature of the tame was the
playing of the flashy Luke, while
Beloln was the ace for the losers.
The hard playing and close guarding
of Weir also was noticeable. The

Cabinet Lock "vs. II. and E,
The Cabinet Lock and R. and E.
game started oft very slow in com
parison to the first game, and both
teams showed lack of shooting abili
ty, missing enough shots in this
period alone to have won, an ordi
nary game. The Cabinet Lock boys
were easily superior in this half,
scoring 18 points to their opponents'
10 and of these IS points an even
dozen were Held goals while three
from the floor was the best that B.
and E. cjtild do.
In the second half, however, the
R. and E. boys revised their lineup
and played the Cabinet Locks boys
to a tight finish. In the second half
R. and E. dropped in eight field
goals and made good on two of three
free tries whilp the Lorkmarkers col
lected but six field goals, of which
Larson made four, and four of eight
free tries.
The teams had battled ten min
utes into the second half before
things began to tighten up and then
the crowd got their usual Tuesday
night thrill. Goodrich had replaced
Simmons at left guard and Bunny
Swanson had taken Whitman's place
at forward and Bunny proceeded to
make his presence felt by dropping
In a two pointer, bringing the R. and
E. tally up to 21 against 29 for Cor
bln. Goodrich then shot in a fast
one from side court and it was 23.
A half minute later Goodrich swish
ed the netting against for a field
goal and four points were all that
separated the two teams. Swanson
cut this down to three when he made
good on a foul and another field goal
by the accurate eyed Goodrich made
the score 2S and 30, with everything
pointing to R. and E. at least tying.
However, shots from the floor by
Saxe. Swanson and Goodrich failed
and the strain on the Corbln fans
was broken when Carrazza and Ka
menicky broke away for field goals,
ending the game with the score 34
23. Larson and Carrazza were the
shining spots in the Corbin lineup
while Swanson ayi Goodrich, both
of whom entered the game as subs,
wero the big noises for the losers.

Portland Gun Club Accuses
Them ol "Bribery"..
(By Billy Evans)
When a pitcher on a misfit, tail-
end club bears down throughout the
season and gives the best he has, he
is entitled U) at least favorable men
tion. Such Is the case of Jesse
Barnes, the senior member of the
Barnes' pitching family.
Barnes, it will be recalled, paid
the penalty of ono of John J. Mc-
Graw'a numerous deals with the
Boston Braves a year ago.
When Mac feels that he has a
veteran who is skidding he nego
tiates with the Boston BraveB.
Barnes although aiding the Giants to
their penants in 1921 1922 and 3 92S,
was shipped to the Brabes last win
ter.
And yet lean Jesse, moving from a
pennant winner to a tall-ender, did
not sulk. He was one of the best
pitchers in the National league last
season.
Barnes Ranks With tenders
With a team that only won 52
games, Barnes hurled 15 victories
and was charged with 20 defeats.
Vance with 2S, Grimes with 22, Carl
Mays with 20, Ray Kremer with IS,
Pete Donohue with 16, Virgil Barnes j
with 16' and Tony Kaufmann with
" "vru uie oniy ngnt-nnnders in
the National league to win
games than Barnes.
In pitching efficiency Barnes
ranked with the leaders with a mark
of .220.
There was Jack Bentley of the
Giants who had a record of 16 vic
tories and five defeats, yet his op
ponents averaged 5.02 earned runs
off the husky southfaw.
There are six manaeers In tiio
National league who do not agree
Jesse Barnes is through, lor it is
known that the owners of the
Braves have been flooded with trade
offers for the right-hander this
winter.
Barnes made the Giants swalinw

Car! Mays of the Reds faced the
Giants four times and was beaten
