Speaking of Sports The defeat of the All-New Britain by the Dixies last night was a uu/r- prising upset. The dopesters had the locals fig- ured to win that game. But games cannot be won' if the forwards are so well covered they cannot connect and for Babcock to go without a goal and Taylor to net but two is enough to defeat any team. The boys played a good game how- (;\‘er, and no alibis are necessary, Firpo now is anxious to get some houts arranged for the entertainment of his Buenos Aires admires. Williams has reengaged Jack Coombs as baseball coach. Yale riflemen defeated DePauw Tniv, 1830 to 1770 last night. The Conn. Aggles lost 17 to 15 to the Army last night, the shooting of Vichules from the foul line defeating the Nutmeg boys. Berry, the veteran end of Tafay- ctte, has been elected 1924 football captain. Herbert Kopf, former local boy, was awarded his letter at a meeting of the W, & J. athletic association last night. Kopf played end on the varsity until injuries kept him out. Sammy Mandell of Chicago is head- ed for the junior title which Jack Bernstein won from Johnny Dundee and which the Scotch-Wop just got back., Mandell is one of the new- comers in the sport and has been fighting impressively in the eust and the west. Mandell is clever but lacks the punch The so-called wrestling trust has been cleancd up and the big boys are sald to be shouting on the square these days. Whether the cash cus- tomers resent the introduction of re- form methods into their favorite sport or whether they have become ill of it all is debatable, The fact is, however, shat the bouts in New York this year Yhave all proved flops at the box office, Four or five clubs are willing to take Carl Mays off the hands of the Yankees, One of them, however, is not the Cleveland Indians. Cleveland needs pitchers but it would not dicker for Mays unders any consideration, As Tong as baseball is played in Cleveland the fans will never forget that it was one of May's slants that killed the popular Ray Chapman, ItU's tough to Le a golf pro, As soon as the snow and sleet arrive in the north the golf pro must pack his irons and woods and get out his white linens and depart for Florida or the Pacifie Coast, When he gets there he must go out on the links and play in tourna. ments, the cash prizes In which fre- quently reach the $6,000 mark. It Is beginning to look as if the New York Glants drew a lemon in Jimmy O'Conuell, the $75,000 beauty from the coast. Natlonal league pitch- ers claim that if pitched to properly he will never break any swat records, | In the field O'Connell has always been a rather feeble sister, When Joe Lyneh, bantamweight champion, knocked out Eddie Coulon of New Orlcans in the third round recently, he weighted 122 pounds, the old featherweight limit. At this weight Lynch looked great and founght in old-time forni. Whether he will continue to look great when he scales GIFT SUGGESTIONS FROM OUR STOCK Fry Ovenware Pyrex Percolators Tea Pots Vacuum Bottles Electric Toasters Electric Irons Electric Waffle Irons Silverwarc Lunch Boxes with Bottles The Abbe Hardware Co. 279 Main St, New Britain | are wonderful if filed several times | to show a count of only 28 in his best it at the bantamweight limit is an- other thing. Barney Dreyfus says he's hunting | for a shortstop who can't sing. Rabbit Maranville, who has held down that position for severa] years for the Pirates, has a pretty good voice. Drey- fus insists the Rabbit was more con- cerned about harmony off the ball field than on. ‘While the new football stadiums during the season, they become quite | a burden if the eleven has a bad year and fails to draw. The new stadiums have caufed each college possessing one to try to book at least three worth-while games at home. Good at- tractions are neccssary Lo fill the stadiums, The New York Celtics, one of the greatest bayketball teams in the coun- try, will get along without the services of Horse Haggerty, the giant guard this season. Haggerty is one of the biggest men playing basketball. He has tremendously big hands and-can “palm” a basketball as easily as a baseball player can a baseball. Cleveland has but one municipal golf course, the Highland park links, of eighteen holes, Figures show that more than 65,000 golfers played cver the course last season, a new record. Nine new holes will be completed by spring. LONG LEAD MAKES HOPPE THE WINNER (Continued From Preceding Page) Hoppe's safety play until the old mas« ter ended the game at midnight with a count of 16, Four hours were requiged for last night's play, a total of 1,225 points being scored in sixteen innings. Hoppe Goes Bad. ¥ Hoppe started as if he would make a runaway match of it, but his cue suddenly lost its magic, and for the last twelve turns at the table was able inning, although all during that time he was within 100 points of victory, a score he had topped in cach of seven innings. Hoppe's high run for the match was 211, made Tuesday night. Cocl ran's best was 107 last night, Hopp grand average was 44 4-34, well un- der his record, and Cochran's was 34 5-34. Must Accept Challenge. Under the tournament rules, Coch- ran wil] be regarded as having fin- ished second, and the champion must entertain a challenge from him with- in three months. The challenge contest probably will be held in Detroit next month, under the same conditions as that here, 1,500 points In three nights play.

Long signal drills and long sessions on the tackling dummy promise to keep the Huskies busy and have them hardened for the contest, Interest in the game has been grow. ing according to word received here, The Navy has reserved 20,000 seats for the officers and enlisted men of the battle fleet, of which virtually every unit, it was said, will be anchored in 8an Pedro harbor the day of the bat. tie.
