CURRENT SPORTING EVENTS LOSE TITLE BY LINEUP CHANGE Anaheim Hi girls basketball team will play Garden Grove Jan. 17 in the last lap of the chanplonship race. Garden Grove yesterday defeated Orange Hi at Tustin 25 to 23. The Orange coach, Miss Mabel Porter, made a great mistake in the second period when she changed her line-up. Orange was leading by seven points and had been playing a superior game, using some of the cleverest plays witnessed this season. Miss Porter put in a new forward and jumping center. The original center had been resting the tip off every time and was playing the best game of her career. At the end of the second world, the star forward, Elvira Morchard, was taken out. She had not 18 of the basket's. It must have been over confidence that compted the Orange mentor to change her line-up. Garden Grove does not use good technique in work but relies mostly on individual playing. They are higher than the local squad or Townsite Carl Press two Anahe Mexican larched, appeared President Vi and his only others hearing. UST MOVE SHEEP N FRANCISCO, Dec. 19.

The fight took place at the famous Madison Square Garden, and was a charity affair. The title at stake was the junior lightweight title of America, which Jack Bernstein won from Dundee last summer. Bernstein won the earlier rounds, but Dundee finished strong and received the decision. Pretty boy Joe Benjamin will have the honor of putting on the closing show until after the holidays at the Vernon swat palace. Joe was the main attraction when the place was opened a few months ago, and if he closes the show with as poor an exhibition as he opened it with, he had better stay with the movie game.
