Wi In a game that ended in & near riot, the New Britain High school basket- ball team lost an overtime battle to the Wilby High school team of Wal bury at the High scheol gymnasium last night, score 23 to 18, The work of Weir was easily the feature of the Red and Gold's offense, defense, and (fistic endeavor, | jeyed fan ran out on the floor waving |nis hands frantically and exclaiming: “The game Is over! We won!" He had been acting in the capacity of timer and had been over-zealous in his desire to have the time pass |away so this led to his reckless ac- tion. This did not “go big" with the crowd when it discovered his mls. take, and in less than a minute a lerowd of exeited apectators were around him ecager to do damage. He |soon broke away to the protection of |the Wilby substitutes across the floor, The ten seconds were played, and the Red and Gold was left at the shert end of a 22 to 18 score, although |they got some satisfaction out of their defeat when Welr “egg-crate wallop” on the player who he claimed had been “playing him (dirty"* all through the game. The |Red and Gold would not have lost /the game had they played the game wisely and stalled when they had a three point lead with less than two Iminutes to go, but they kept taking |long shots at the basket, which re- sulted in their losing the game. The | Brass City team tied the score and (won in the overtime on two foul goals by Murphy and a field goal by Na- vin, who played basketball for the ifirst time during the game. The rest of the time he was playing a com- |bination of football, boxing | wrestling. | Reynolds was the first to score for New Britain. His fleld goal broke the ice after about three minutes of hard | playing. McCabe increased the lead | with another field goal. Wilby then broke into the scoring on a field goal | by Hadley. McCabe again scored, making the count 6 to 2 in New Brit. ain's favor. The playing in the first half was the fastest seen at the High | school gym in many a day. Both teams kept up this fast pace through- | out the half, which ended with New Britain leading 15 to 9. The visitors opened up the second half with a furious attack that| brought them within two points of New Britain before the home team could score. Then 1la Har rung up a fleld goal which way followed by a foul goal by Reynolds. This was the only score made by the Hardware City team in this half. The Green and White team came within three points of New Britain with two minutes to| {go. Then the score was tied and| later won by Wilby. The summary: N.B. H. 8 W. H. 8. 3 ...

Four other bouts preceded the main event and the pollce were con- cerned in getting the fans into the club rather than in keeping them away. The police themselves, due to the injunction, were forced to stay outside, The Injunction was the reply of the boxing promoters to a warning issued last week, by Chief of Police Fitz. morris, that any boxing bout held in Chicago would be stopped by the po- lice, The chief acted after the Law and Order League had sent scouts to numerous matches held here recent- |1y and had reported that they were “prize fights." A Mysterious Aspect. Last night's big crowd of fight fans appeared just as mysteriously as have crowds that have attended a dozen other matches held during the past week in Chicago. The place where the match was to be held was not announced and there was not even an announcement as to where tickets were to be obtained. The in- itiated, however, had no trouble in making reservations. The injunction restraining law of- ficers from stopping last night's hout was obtained by an American Legion | post sponsoring the matches on the grounds that the proceeds went to disabled soldiers and that the event was not a prize fight. After Alleged Fake Bout Buenos Aires, Feb. 22.—A match last night between Sailor Maxted, American heavyweight, and Alex Reilly, Panama negro, at Avellaneda, a suburb of Buenos Aires, broke up in a riot when the referee disqualified both men at the end of the seventh round for putting up a sham fight. The crowd hurléd missiles at the fighters and attempted to meb them. The men were rescued by the police after a struggle. Maxted claimed he had brokén his wrist and was unable to fight.

You have won all your fights" {#ald the chairman “and 1 have never lieard of you being disqualified for {foul tactics, no matter if the bout was in Maine or Texas. It is quite appar- ent that the referees do not regard ycu as a foul fighter, even if some of your opponents make the charge, The {tonight will judge the hout on wha done in the ring and not by threats or accusations made by Tunney or his partisans.' Greb said that was satisfactory to him. BRAVES COST PLENTY | New York Danger Says More Than £500,000 Was Paid by Syndicate for Boston Club, New York, Feb, 22.—The deal by which a New York syndicate headed by Christy Mathewson, Tuesday pur- chased the Boston National League club from George Washington Grant, | involved more than $540,000, it has { been disclosed by James MacDon- ough, New York banker, who, with the former Giant pitching star, and former Judge Emil Fuchs, also of New York, acquired all of Grant's in- terests.
