Feb. a fast breaking offense and defense in the second half led by Lesser and Mar tin. amt the El jardin high school basketball team into the Cameron county finals by defeating the Santa Res* Plow Boys here Friday after noon, 21 to 10. El Jardin drew a by# in next w-eek’a elimination contests, while winners of Brown&ville-Harlingen and San Benito-Wilson Tract games were to fight it out to determine the other finalist. By a similar token, the Santa Rosa girls went into the county finals by defeating the El Jardin girls 66 to 3. The Santa Rost quint, always a formidable contender in Valley • > eles and winner of the title several times, fell in a second half on slaught by Sam Lesser and his co horts. Up to the halfway point the game was marked by effective guarding and the score stood 6-5 in El Jardin’s favor. El Jardin contin ued their guarding in the second hslf but the Plow Boys failed to cover Lesser and Martin effectively, as they began breaking at full tilt. Lesser was high scorer, ringing up It points. He was followed in sec ond piece by Cailan Martin, who sunk six points through the netted hoop. Lawrence and Tripplett did th«>r best guarding of the season and held the Santa Rosa crew to four field goals. Cox, Sunta Rosa guard, did out standing work for his team. His specialty was dribbling down -he field. Davis' work also stood out. El Jardin—(21) Fg. Ft. Tl.

Tall center* and forwards kept the hall in thsir i territroy most of the time and the smaller El Jardin terni was placed at a disadvantage. It is thought probable that Santa Rosa will meet tha Brownsville girls in the county finals. This game should be -inter-! seting as both teams are above the average girls' team.

DUNK LEY ( N asocial pit Press Sports Writer.) DETROIT. Feb. 9.—<>Py—Tex Rick ard's promitional genius lives In “Dick” Dunn, youthful alumnus of i Madison Square Garden, who has developed Detroit into one of the outstanding boxing centers of the United States. “Dick” Richard G., 32. is the gen eral manager of Detroit’s new $3, 000,000 Olympia Sports Arena. The friends of “Dick” Dunn said he could not fail to achieve success. He has been in the sports business since knee pant days. He is the son of John P. Dunn, old promoter of Coney Island Sporting club, a suc cess 30 years ago. Dick worked for Rickard in the old and new Garden. He has achiev ed success in Detroit by turning the Olympia arena from a flop into a thriving business enterprise. When Dunn became manager of the arena about a year ago it was a losing venture. Within 12 months Dunn took in f4f>0,000 on arena box ing contests. He also developed hockey and other sports as major attractions. The young promoter started deliv ering press notices for his father. He was 12 years old. Next he was with P. T. Powers and Harry Pol lock, promoters of six-day bicycle races. Before Rickard came to the Garden, Dunn was a telephone oper ator in the superintendent's office. Usher, he was, and also ticket taker, ticket seller, concession manager, time keeper, assistant superintend ent and superintendent. • Dick” went to the World War with the 363th machine gun battalion of New York’s own 77th division. Back in New York, he went to work for Rickard as his assistant. When Detroit wanted a manager. Promoter Rickard recommended Dick and here he came. Like the late “Tex,” Dunn believes in giving the public what it wants, and he subscribes to the policy that the public always is right. Dick has made money on every boxing show here. The Heeney Risko bout, his first, drew $77,000. ! Jimmy McLarnin and Loayza drew $63,000, and gates of $40,000 to $60, 000 have been regular occurrences. ; FIGHTS (AST ■>>Ollgim ( Ry 1 he Associated Press.) NEW YORK — Al Singer.

ON FOUL BLOW Featherweight Elimi nation Thrown In to Muddle NEW YORK. Feb. 9.—(iPl— An un intentional foul blow, struck by the blonde puncher from Terre Haute.

Singer, of New York’s East Side, in the fourth round at Madison Square Garden last night. The blow dropped Sing er to the canvas in agony and Ref eree Haley could do nothing bit stop the fight and award the deci sion- to Singer. In view of the unsatisfactory end ing of a promising slugging match 1 there is a possibility that the men will be re-matched. The bout had been planned as a means of de- i veloping an opponent for Tony Can-1 zoncri with the ultimate survivor to get a “shot” at the 126-pound ! crown now worn by Andre Routis : of France.
