The Kid Kaplan-Al. Shubert bout, scheduled at Meriden next Thursday Inight, has been postponed until next Saturday night. Shubert is to engage in a bout tomorrow night. Matchmaker George Dwyer is bend- ing every effort to book the Kid Kap- lan-Romeo Roche hout at Meriden on February 23, by racial prejudice, 1s laughable, As a matter of fact, the commercializa- tion of boxing, as was indicated in the advance discussion and newspaper ac- counts of negotiations for a world's heavyweight championship match, prompted the commission's action. Promoters and managers discuss championship matches without any regard whatever for moderate finan- cial details. This money talk is out of all proportion, and unless checked will work a detriment to the sport of boxing. The commission will continue its work of eradicating this dange: from boxing until the sport is safe.” With this statement Muldoon dis- missed the heavywejght situation from further consideration: “I am not concerned with any future talk of heavyweight championship matches,” the said. "They may be held by pro- There is local interest in the coming battle between St. Thomas' seminary and the Hartford High school quintets which will be staged next Saturday at the Hopkins street gymnasium, Young McAuliffe, the hoxing ref- eree, who is making his home in this city, has been reinstated by the state boxing commission.

So far as the commission is concerned, there is nothing to worry over in this respect.” | Muldoon repeated his confidence in the support of the boxing patrons for the action of the commission. As in- dicating the satisfaction felt by some of the sport’s followers, Muldoon men- tioned a number of long-distance tele- phone messages of congrgtulation he had received during the afternoon. One of these calls came from Phila- delphia, another from New Haven, and another from this city. A wom- an was among those who telephoned him, Muldoon said, and voiced her approval of the stand the commission has taken, T0 RESUME GAMES —Tollowing 2 period of inactivity due to the an- nual midyear examinations at the various institutions, the teams in the Intercollegiate Basketball league are preparing to resume their campaigns. The race will start again on Satur- | day, when the Pennsylvania and Cor-| nell fives will clash at Ithaca. This| is the only game scheduled for this| week, but four contests are on the card for next week.

A, at Mid- dletown on Friday night, New Britain was represented by a smooth work- ing combination, It would be hard to pick out an individual star, Every man worked like a beaver and the teamwork of the home boys was pret- ty to watch, Tyndell, by his splendid foul goal tossing, and the wonderful exhibition of defensive play by Harry Ginsberg, are entitled to mention, Tyndell dropped nine foul goals out of 13 chances safely in the curtains, He also registered the final goal of the night on a spectacular play that cllnch‘pd the vietory for New Britain, with ‘only three seconds to go. Sensational Shooting. Goals from the field by Kilduff, Captain Restella and Jack Pelletier of the mile-long*variety, were among the features. With new Britain trailing by a single field goal and four minutes left to play, Kilduff shot a basket from the side of the hall. Jack Pel- letier taking the ball near his own basket, then dribbled to the center of the court, and dropped the ball into the net, putting New Britain ahead. The excitement at this time was in- tense, and both teams were fighting like mad. The home crowd rose and urged the home boys to keep that lead. Pelletier noticed that Tyndell was unguarded along the sidelihes on the south side of the court. Catch- ing Dwyer off his guard, Pelletier whipped the ball to “Red” who drib- bled it along toward the basket, Dwyer made a frantic effort to stop Tyndell from putting the ball in, It was too late, for the popular forward by a quick overhand move, made it good and the game was clinched. Dwyer's Fine Work. Billy Dwyer gave a dazzling exhi- bition of floor work and Cronin and Leonard were, as usual, very good. The summary: New Britain Kilduff ..
