MAKUI 1. VM7. I vx Eoys High captured the P. S. A.

city and 'borough basketball championships yesterday by defeating Hushwick High by a score of 18 to 17. The contest was played on the winning team's court. The victory gives Hoys HigHthe undisputed right to both- championships. Boys High has lost only one game out nine in the P. S.

A. L. race. Evander Childs remains to be played, hut this contest is counted on as a sure win for the wearers of the Red and Black. Among the Boy High came as a big surprise, as Coach Gem-son was forced to develop practically an entire new team in mid-season, three regulars graduating In February.

Bushwick ranked as a strong favorite up to a week ago, when thu Orange and Black lost its first game to Eastern District. Bushwiqk followers turned out in force for the game and gave the Boys High contingent a lusty indication of their self-confidence before the contest. The Boys High rooters also were present in large numbers and filled the atmosphere with their cheers and songs. The crowd numbered nearly 3,000, the largest that has attended a schoolboy game In some time. Captain Bolotovsky Stars for Boys High.

Captain Bolotovsky was the star of the Boys High victory. He scored two-thirds of the points made by his team and started a rally when the Red and Black seemed doomed to defeat. With the score 15 to 9 In Bush-wick's favor and only three minutes to play, Bolotovsky shot a foul and caged two field goals in rapid succession. Bushwick scored a field goal after the foul, which left the score 17 to 14, Bushwick leading. Bonoff, Boys High's clever center, scored on a long shot from the center of the floor, putting his team within one point of the leaders.

Gindes then brought a roar of approval from Boys High gallery by caging a field goal from a difficult angle, placing his team In the lead by one point. The advantage was held until the final whistle ended with the score 6 to 4 in Boys High's favor. Irving Edelstein, Bushwick's star forward, was closely guarded and had little chance to show his skill. The two field goals he scored were made while an opponent was clinging to his shoulders. Cherry in Limelight for Bushwick.

George Cherry did the best work for Bushwick on the offense. His three field goals were of a sensational order. Captain Dorff excelled on the defense. Time after time he broke up Boys High teamwork single-handed. A whistle was blown by Irving Gemson, the Boys High coach, who was standing next to J.

Clark of Stuy-vesant, the timekeeper, ten Beconds before time was up, and the spectators, thinking the game was over, took the floor. When the floor was cleared again Bushwick claimed a foul, but the officials decided otherwise.

ST, PAUL'S SCHOOL CLOSES WITH WIN Beats Richmond Hill in Final Basketball Came by 19 to 12 Score. (Special to The Eagle. Carden City, L. March 3 St. Paul's School closed Its basketball season here with a close victory over Richmond Hill, 19 to 12.

The game was cleanly played from the start and was marked in ther first half by extremely close guarding. During the opening period the rival quintets guarded each other so carefully that the score at the end was only 8 to 7 in favor of St. Paul's School. In the second half, however, St. Paul's School broke loose, and displaying an attack that swept the Richmond Hill players off their feet, forged into a lead from which it was never headed.

It was a fitting windup to one of the most successful basketball seasons that St, Paul's School has enjoyed In a number of years. Streng, the crack all-around athlete of St. Paul's School, was the star of this game. He scored four field goals and distinguished himself in the guarding tactics which marked the first half. For Richmond Hill, Magee and Dempsey played well the latter scoring two field goals.

Birch of St. Paul's School showed well at shooting foul goals, with seven out of nine. Leidlnger of Richmond ilill caged four foul goals In seven attempts. Lineup: St. Paul's (19).

Coach Ten Eyck Trying Several New Combinations. Veterans Missing. (Special to The Eagle.) Syracuse, March 3 James A.

Ten Eyck, coach of the Syracuse University Navy, is anxiously awaiting the arrival of warm weather, that he may take his Orange oarsmen to Onondaga Lake. It is prabablo that Ice will start breaking within the next few days unless there Is a decided change In the weather conditions. With the aid of the machine in the rowing tank Coach Ten Eyck has put his large sriuad of oarsmen through an exceptionally thorough preliminary drill. This work has progressed od-mirablv, and It is thought that the progress on the water will be more rapid as a result. All the members of the victorious 1916 crew have not reported, but it is expected that the full quota of oarsmen will be at work soon.

Frank Williams, who pulled Xo. 7 In the big boat a year ago, has been unable to report. Pete Wallis, No. 3 a year ago, is also the missing. Because Coach Ten Kyck is by no means certain that these men will be available every effort is being made to cultivate other men for these important positions.

It is thought that a complete reorganization will be necessary. Art Usman. who rowed No. 4 In 1916 and who stroked the varsity tho previous year, has been tried on the other side of the boat. Coach Ten Eyck Is making 'many other changes of a similar sort that he may give the Orange the strongest possible combination for the big regatla.

The regulations for the league this season should make It tho best ever run in Brooklyn and a record entry list is expected. After the closing of the entries on March 31 work will immediately commence on the schedules.

This means that the Junior Eagle League season will probably begin on April 5. It vlll probably run into July, and. if possK-ble, (he final championship games will be decided on July 4. In order to gain premier laurels this year a team must be of championship caliber. A team must first go through the preliminary "miss and out" tournament, and then compete in an Intei-sectlonal competition.

In the series the champion teams of the western districts, Columbia Heights and Park Slope, South Brooklyn. Bath Beach and Borough Park, and Flat bush and Coney Island, will play against the following eastern teams: East and Canarsie. Kidgewond and East New York, (Jreenpoint and Central Brooklyn, and all of Long Island. This series will be what is called a "home and home" series, in which each team plavs on the home ground of each other team. From this will emerge a champion of the east and a i luunpion of Hie west.

Then will come tho final series. In which the title of champion of Brooklyn and Long Island will be at stake. Mi daln awarded by The Eagle will also lie the prizes. This series will be contested at either the Parade Grounds or the home of the Biookbn Scperbas, Hbbots Field. It will be best two out of three games.

tomorrow night. SIX BROOKLYN BOYS OUT FOR PRINCETON Captain Eddie Driggs Returns to His Old Position Behind Bat. (Special to The Eagle.) Princeton, N. March 3-Six Brooklyn boys were among those to report as candidates for the Princeton University baseball team during the past week. They are: Captain Eddie Drigg-s.

Ilill Bade, Howard Maxwell, Jack Dro-han, Hadden and Lamarchc. Driggs, tho only veteran from the 1916 infield, has been taken from tho shortlield and now is working out behind the bat, a place where he won a schoolboy reputation as a bull plaver. He Is more at home at catching than ine lrineiu, nitnougn It is not vet certain that lie will remain a llxiiire as a catcher. Kreck, the freshman catcher of J.nst year, is considerably more of a finished receiver than Drlcgs, and is likewise the host hitter coming up from the freshman class, so it will not be at all surprising to find Driggs patrolling the outer garden this spring. At any rate, ho is the handiest man on the team, and is of such known capabilities as a hitter that he will fit in well wherever located.

who, like Dilggs, was a crack catcher at Adnlpb! Academy in Brooklyn, is trying out for tho buck-stop position, and may be curried through-the year. Hade and Maxwell, former Poly Prep stars and but year on tho freshman nine, nro out (or shortstop and third base, respectively, and are rated as promising varsity material. Lamarche, who played at T.awrnnce-vilie, is out for first hu.se. while Hadden Is trying for second. Dunoon Chaplin, the pitcher of two years ago, was openued on for appendicitis last year, and it is not known whether he will be aliie to show his best form.

If Chaplin comes through, Princeton will have a tine chance for the championship. Coach Bill Clarke Is well fondled in other positions. Baseball, Track and Crew Squads Have Left Winter Quarters. (Special to The Eagle.) Philadelphia, Pa March 4 The three big spring tenms of the University of Pennsylvania baseball, track team and rowing have left the winter quarters and gone to the outdoors for their training for the big college championships. Joe Wright has manned his varsity eight with the big giants he trained on the machines, and from the College Boat Club In Eairmount Park this heavyweight crew can be' seen daily spinning up and down tho Schuylkill.

Merle Duryea was the only big fellow who lost a seat to a lighter but fuster oar, and he has won back his position because of his display of determination and continued improvement. Wright is teaching a decidedly different stroke this season. Francis Drayton, the stroke of the varsity eight, has been setting a clip that does not go above 22 strokes to the minute. The Philadelphia oarsmen who have watched the Hed and Blue crews in training say the stroke is the most powerful they have seen exhibited since the great Argonaut crews used to come down to Philadelphia and sweep tho river. Lawson Robertson, the Pcnn track coach, has begun to uncover some of the phonoms he has developed this season at Franklin Field.

Robertson has worked quietly and he has not raced some of the inexperienced men he has been working with for several months. Marvin Gustalson, a freshman, who never wore a running shoe before he came to Penn, has been working with Robertson for three months, and the other afternoon, in company with Ted Meredith and Earl Eby, tho freshman who has been such a sensation in the Indoor meets In the East, Gustalson ran a half mile, indoors, in 1:59 seconds. With a little more experience this lad will press the best of the collegians. Coach Roy Thorans intends to pick his baseball team within a few days, but several of the positions have been settled and the only positions open are two Infield posts. Joe Yates will play at second.

Howard Berry, the Pentathlon champion and fullback, is at short and Johnny White hns about raptured the third-base post. Hobey Light, Johnny I.avin and Dave Ben-nis have the call for the outfield positions, but Joe Sullivan and Low Wray, a player who will bat with glasses especially constructed, are trying to unseat the first string of outfielders. Eddie McNichol has four afternoon classes and will hardly report. Todd and Sid Thayer are still in the running for tho second-base position, while Mysklns and Morgan are being tested as third basemen. Coach Thomas thinks he has uncovered a pair of pitchers in John Tltzel, the big chap from Pittsburg, who is a IS 8-pound left hnndcr, and Ad Swlgler of Philadelphia, a 175- i pound right bander.

Dan Hafncr, Steve Cromwell and Bernhardt are working out from the pitchers box, but Titzel and Swlgler have shown the best brand of pitching to date. Rodger Oilmore, Houck and Lud Wray are the first string catchers. Meadowbrook Meet Attracts Big Entry (Special to The Eagle.) Philadelphia, March 3 One of the biggest meets ever held In this country is carded for next Saturday, under the auspices of the Meadow-brook Club.
