BIG GAME TONIGHT Coach Bearce’s High School Team in fore s withdrawn by the Feaderal Fine Condition for Important Clash With Hartford High. ‘With the big game of the season to be played tonight, the followers of the local boy: > confident than ever that their favorites will go over the top in the Hartfard game, which will be played in Hartford this even- ing.

The victory of the Capital City team over the St. Thomas’ seminary team has caused them to put great confidence in the work of “Sammy” Suisman and ‘“Rube” Cohen, their two forwards, but when these two lads find “Billy” Burns and “Mert” Taylor between them and the New Britain goal, somefhing is bound to happen that will in no way tea. Taylor is without a doubt the speed- jest guard developed in some time. Playing a wonderful guard game, he has also a fine eye for the cage. the other guard position is “Bill Burns.

The Chi- cago man won the 220-yard and the mile pursuit event, while the Saranac skatcr captured the two-mile pursuit race. No records were broken, as the fce w a bit too heavy for fast work. Lamy got away flying in the 220-yard race, but McLean wore him down and won with plenty to spare. The time for the race was 20 Seconds. The muile pursuit event furnished a keener contest, and Lamy, evidently warming to his work, gave McLean a battle every inch of the way, but was beaten by a margin of 3-5 of a second. The Saranac man then won the third event, the two-mile pursuit, after a finish that thrilled the spec- tators. The two will meet again to- day in another series of races at 440 yards, a half-mile pursuit and a mile pursuit. CAPTAIN TILDEN ENLISTS Ieader of Pennsy Crew, Resigns to Join U, S.
