Basketball team, headed by “Jake” Carlson, will invade this city this evening, playing the Knights of Col- umbus quintet at the State Armory. The game was arranged by Manager Lawrence P. Mangan of the Kaceys and the receipts will be turned over | to the new Machine Gun company. The officer of the company have had charge of the armory for the past few weeks, and those who have the op- | portunity of doing business have found them to be straight-forward in all dealings. tI has been felt that in view of the fact that' the company was for the co-operation given local teams, and the benefit this evening is the result. If the attendance that has marked the games during the past season turns out tonight, the Machine Gun company will get a neat sum donated. Middletown Y M. C. A. played here a number of times in the past, at the local Y M. C. A. There is no one who will not admit that the quintet always gave the local teams a fine run for the victory. The Carlson brothers, Spear, Hartman Ahlberg and Salmon- son; gang, has been going along at a fine clip this season. The game tonight will afford the Middletown team a chance to get acquainted with the piaying surface at the armory, pre- paratory to the contest with the Springfield, Mass., Y. M. C.

Newark, N. J. March 28.—Frank L. Kramer, who for 21 years has been defeating the best professional bicy- cle riders from all over the world, started his 22nd year in cycling at the Velodrome here yesterday by winning the Mayor Gillen Stakes, a five-mile open event, from Pete Moeskops, Reggie McNarama, Alfred Goullet and John Bedell. Nearly 20,000 fans, the largest crowd that ever attended an opening bicycle meet in Newark, were present. The race was started by Charles P. Gillen, Mayor of Newark, and when Kramer won the mayor jumped out of his box to shake hands and con- gratulate the 40-year-old veteran, who seems to be riding just as fast as ever. Kramer received a thunderous ovation from the crowd as he dis- mounted from his wheel. | ATHLETES GOOD STUDENTS. Only Three Men Are Lost at Annapo- lis Through Scholastic Ruling. | Annapolis, March 28.—That the athletes at the Naval Academy are jas a rule good students is indicated ]by the fact that of the 109 midship- men who recently had their resig- nations requested on account of | failure to maintain the required stan- idnrds. not one was a regular mem- ber of a team in any line of sport. The only men lost to athletics in this way were Kelly, a substitute pitcher; Watson, a good hurdler, and Muno, a big fellow who showed promise both in football and rowing. Watson and Muno were members of the new clags, and it is hoped they will re-enter. The greatest loss is in { Muno, who had a promising future. He weighed nearly 190 pounds and made a gooll showing on the foot- ball squad last year. i SETS NEW RECORD Charlie Paddo 20 | Berkeley, C Paddock, Uniw iforyia, clippe off ti\g world’] dash bgre 8 tance 11,20 caught h 20 3-5 se Paddoc] American last yeai | Was mag | at New been e Run v dates Just getting under way here, it would | be a fine thing to shew appreciation | RE CONNECTICUT INDUSTRIAL TITLE EASILY, DOWNING AMERICAN FOR JOHN SHU[iRUE Meriden Flash Trained to thej Minute—Three Other Good Bouts ! New Haven, March 28.—Everythin, points to one of the greatest as- semblages of boxing fans here tomor- row night at the Arena, to witness the fine card arranged by Matchmaker Ike Weiner of the Quinnipiac A. C, The head line attraction is the 15 round bout to a decision between Johnny Shugrue of Waterbury, and Charlie Pilkington of Meriden. Throughout the state there is a divided opinion as to the probable result. New Haven and Meriden fans look for a victory for Pilkington, while Waterbury and Naugatuck valley rooters of Shugrue will go down heavily on their favor- ite. Viewing the condition under which the match was ‘made, things look bright for Shugrue. It has been agreed by both boxers that the weights will be 132 at 2 o'clock. This gives the Brass City boy plenty of time between that hour and 10 o’clock at night when he steps in the ring to make up the necessary weight which he needs to be right. Pilkington has impressed many of late that he is a performer who wears out as a bout goes down. This was shown in the Waltz and Reimer battles, where he practically had his opponents out in the first round. After they weathered the storm, they gave the Silver City boy a warm argument. Other Bouts on Card The semi-final will bring together Mickey Dance of Daterbury, and Dave Medar of New York. Medar takes Collie Pienies’ place who hurt a finger Saturday intraining. This bout will be for ten rounds. An interesting battle is looked for when Joe Proto of New Haven stacks up against Billy Prince of Bridgeport. Willie Shugrue a brother of Johnny and Joe, will meet Spike Marino of New Haven in a ‘six round curtain raiser. Dave l';hzgera.ld will be the third man in the ring, ENGLAND WANTS BOUT Walter C. Percival, American Repre- sentative of Syndicate, Authoribed to Offer $500,000 for Bout in London New York, March 28.—An eleventh hour offer of a $500,000 purse by a group of English sportsmen for the Dempsey-Carpentier world’s cham- pionship contest was announce night by Walter C.
