NEW YORK RENS WIN
WORLD'S BASKETBALL
CHAMPIONSHIP
By Th« AMoelaUS I«irt Prsia
CHICAGO, B.—Working systematically and seemingly with-
out effort, the New York Renaissance baakettUll team con-
firmed what many sports editors had long hoen saying when
they were crowned world champions after whipping the Osli-
kosh Stars, 34 to 26, before 4,000 at the Coliseum Tuesday
night.
The title was the result Of three nights and one afternoon
of play in the first professional
cage meet In history. By taking
the championship, the Reus won
$1,000. The other colored team,
Harlem Globe Trotters, got third
money consisting of $2o0. There
were also ft white teams entered,
including Kate Smith's New York
Celtics, winners of the American
Professional league championship.
Guarding so closely tliat the
Oshkosh team could get few good
shots at the basket, the Rens, by
sensational and speedy passing*
amassed a 24 to 11 point total at
half time, then were content to add
only 10 more in the second hrlf
as they devoted themselves mainly
to keeping the l>all away from
their white opponents.
In the third quarter Wee Willie
Smith went out on personal fouls
and in the fourth Tarzan Cooper
was eliminated in the same way.
The loss of these key defensive
players had Ren backers on edge
for a while, but the combination
of Gates, Bell, Saitch, Clayton and
Isaacs weathered the storm. Fats
Jenkins did not play, although in
uniform. Gates led for the victor.,
with 12 points.
The Trotters, eliminated In the
semi-finals by the Reus Tuesday
night, 27 to 2.'!, ls fore a crowd
of 8,000 drawn by the prospects
of seeing the two leading colored
pro teams meet for the first time,
had their hands full In beating
out Sheboygan who Monday night
had eliminated the Celtics. Tt?
lend see-sawed back and forth,
with the white team in front, 20
to 10, at the half. As play re
sutned, the Trotters forged ahead
finally winning, 30 to U3, after
I-arry Blench had amassed 17
points including s; ven baskets and
throe free throws.
The liens-Trotters game, classed
by several Big 10 coaches present
as the greatest exhibition they had
ever seen, found Fats Jenkins and
company working efficiently to
take the half time lead of 15 to
10, and then staved off every ef-
fort of their rivals to catch up.
Willie Smith has high point man
for the victors with three baskets
and two charity shots, white
Bleach again topped the Trotters
with three baskets.
In advancing to the champion
ship after drawing a first round
bye, the Rens knocked over the
New York Yankees in addition to
the Trotters and Oshkosh, while
the Trotters lost only to the Rens
after beating Fort Wayne, Ind.,
the Chicago Harmons and Sheboy
gan.

ed out of the Harris theatre as a

alternates. Altogether, colored amateUrs won exactly 10 of
the 16 bents that saw Chicago take the inter oity champion-
ship, 0 to 7. All bouts were
scheduled for three rounds.
The four champions and theh'
victims were:
Buddy Moore, New York, heavy
weight, beat Tony Novak (white),
Chicago.
Jimmy Reeves, Chicago, light
heavyweight, beat Henry Jones,
New York.
John Pleasant, Chicago, light-
weight, beat Johu Noce (white),
New York.
Ray Robinson, New York,
featherweight, beat Tony Aneona
(white), Chicago.
Winners among the alternates
included:
Willie Moon, Chicago, flyweight,
beat Basil Jo.ies, New York.
Ilomer Williams, Chicago,
featherweight, beat Lou Valentine,
New York.
Willie Smith, New York, light
weight, knocked out Roy Lewis
(white) Chicago, second round.
Vernell Williams, Chicago, welter-
weight, bent Tami Maurieilo
(white), New York.
Warren Jones, New York, mid-
dleweight, beat Shelton Bell Chi-
cago.
Altus Allen, Chicago, heavy-
weight, beat Enzo Avondoglio
(white). New York.
It was Allen's victory that gave
Chicago the inter-city title, since
it was conceded that Moore would
whip Novak. Allen, regarded us
the most promising boxer develop-
ed here in several years, is a light
heavyweight. He was eliminated
on a close decision in the recent
"tournament of champions", but
so impressed were coaches that he
was invited to join the squad and
got the alternate heavyweight post
although weighing only 172 pounds.
His opponent, a 190-pound Ital-
ian who stood four inches taller,
was 110 match for the speed and
accuracy of the lS-year old Chi
cagoan. Allen jabl^ed him at will
with a rapier left, sent him to the
canvas for a nine-count with a
right cross in the first round,
then duplicated the performance as
the second ended. He had his foe
nearly out on his feet at the final
bell.
An unexpected loser was Milton
Jones, tall but sensational St.
Louis young8ter who has been
fighting only seven months yet in
that time had won the Chicago
Oolden Gloves welterweight diadem.
He drew Dnlgarian, white, a squat
New Yorker. Jones was far ahead
on points, and had staggered Dul-
gnrlan with right hand punches
when, In the second round, the
New Yorker suddenly unleashed n
terrific right that landed on Mil
ton's chin. Tho lad went down,
pulled himself up at nine, but was
too groggy to protect himself. The
referee stopped the bout with Jones
hanging on the ropes.
Altogether, 15 of of the 32 fight-
ers were colored. That only one
of them lost to a white opponent
shows the domination of Negroes
ns nmateurs as well as professional
boxers.

CHICAGO, 111.—Colored boxers
on the New York Golden Gloves
team, here for last Wednesday's
inter city bouts at Chicago stadium,
staged a sit-down strike in the
lobby of Mcdlnah Athletic club
when operators refused to take
them up in the passenger lifts.
The strike was of short dura-
tion, however, as attendants soon
concluded that the husky youths
were in no mood to be trifled with.
The athletes were training at Me-
dlnah club, located next to WGN
broadcasting station, owned by the
Chicago Tribune, sponsor of the
Golden Gloves contests.
Previously, the Manhattan scrap-
pers, Bail Jones, Louis Valentine,
Ray Robinson, Willie Smith, Danny
Cox, Warren Jones, Henry Jones
and Buddy Jones, and the team's
