FRANKIE JEROME DIES OF INJURIES—SPEED BOYS SKID ON ARMORY FLOOR—BROAD A. C. OF HARTFORD ON TRAIL OF PANTHERS—EAGLES SCORE THIRD VICTORY—RUTH IN GREAT CONDITION—N. B. GRIDDERS ON ALL STATE ELEVEN ' SPEEDY DIXIES SKID -HERE AND ALL-NEW BRITAIN WINS | Avenge Earlier Defeat by\ $5-21 Victory — Eagles Win Over Falcons in Hot-; ly Contested Preliminary | Game. ———— | The All-New Britain basketball | team put itself in solid with the fans Saturday night when it took the high- | Iy touted Dixic Speed Boys of Hart- | ford into camp by a 85 to 21 score| ut the State armo The so-called speed boys had a chance to see what real speed was and, the visitors being a Hartford team, the more one-sided the game was the better the fansd liked it. Without taking any credit | away from the local court artists it| would appear that the Dixies are either a highly overrated team or that they were away off their regular form Saturday night. While they dis- | played a pretty passing game and | were fast in their floor work their | shooting was poor. Keep In The Lead The All-New Britain team swept| nto the lead with the opening whistle and stayed out ahead throughout the remainder of the game. LaHar and | Taylor at the forward berths showed a nice passing game and time and again worked the ball down under the basket where it was an easy matter to drop it through the netting for a | doubledecker, Pelletier and Restelli at the guard positions were well nigh impregnable and Murphy was held to two floor baskets while Mantelli's| night's work consisted of floor basket. Hafner, who has been the| shining light in Hartford basketball | circles during the present season, was | expected to prove the star of the eve- | ning for the Visitors and considerable | speculating was done by the followers | of both teams before the game as to| how many baskets he would get. Haf- | ner, however, accounted for just one floor basket and three fouls, finding the going rough whenever he attempt- | ' ed to work the ball down beneath the | local team's basket The local team at the present time | would seem to hav. the best combi- nation they possess on the floor, and it Saturday night's work was an ex- ample of what they can produce they should roll up victories at a rapid rate, For one the visitors the stars of the game were Murphy and Hoffarth, while T or and Restelli excelled the All New Britains, Lineup All New Ladar, Babcoek for Dixies Murphy Holmauist Right Yorward Britains.

Thomas Trounced to Tune of 36 t0 10 in Hartford The veteran St. Thomas' semiy team went down before the ousmvgm | of the speedy N. B. H. 8. basketball team Saturday noon at the West | Middle gymnasium, Hartford, 36 to | 10, Locals Take Lead | Before the game the dope had it’ that the Red and Gold were in for a | trimming and in the first minute of play it certainly looked that way when “Jackie” Walsa flippéd in a double decker. This was the only goal the Hartford team made until the last few minutes of the game. Immedi- ately after the St. Thomas scored, Neipp broke away from his man and | made a pretty goal, tying the score. This was followed by two field goals and a foul goal by Beloin, and anoth- er fleld goal by Neipp. The first quar- ter ended with the score 9 to 2 in favor of the Hardware City team, Wodarski opened the second quar- ter with a foul goal. Then the New Britain machine got going, and made 80 many points that Scorer Saunders had all he could do to keep track of them. Field goals by Belser and Neipp, and a foul goal by Zehrer bought the New RBritain score up to 19. “Lar Walsh made one more point for his team by way of the foul line. The score at half time was 19 to 4, New Dritain, In the third period the Saints did not score a point, Neipp started the Red and Gold team off with a foul goal. This was followed by field goals by Neipp and Beloin in the order named. The latter also scored two | foul goals, Belser and Gorman added to the team's total with a foul goal each. “Jackie” Walsh again ecored a field goal with but four minutes to play. ' This was the ond field goal of the game for the " boys.

Well, here is a litfle sugges- tion that may save Y¥ou untold anguish and embarrassment on the links. Never, never, refer to your iron clubs by such ordinary names as mashie, midiron, pitcher, niblick, ete. In our best golfing circles this is deemed to be very poor form, and is simply not being done any more. Numbers have come to take the place of. these plebeian names. Hence a No. 1 iron is a driving iron, No. mid- iron, No. 3 midmashie, No. 4 mashie ircn, No. 5 mashie, No. 6 mashie nibliek, No. 7 pitcher, No. 8 jigger and No. 9 niblick. emember in the future the correct form is as foilows: “Boy, my No. 9 iron, if you please.

If this proves the case, officials stats ed, action will be taken immediately | |against Taylor. Death followed an operation which failed to relieve a cercbral hemorrhage.

Details of the bout have not yet been completed, but reports from the Hardware City Athletic’ club state that both fighters have agreed to terms and the bout will probably be scheduled for 15 rounds. It will be held the latter part of February, if matters can be arranged and both fighters put in shape. This wilk be the biggest drawing card to be put forth to the fight pub- lic of this city and surrounding towns in years. Not gince the days of long ago when top notchers used to display their wares in the Hardware City, has there been any attempt to stage a real good fight here, much less a heavy- welght match such as the Hardware City A, C. is planning. Keeley is Popular Keeley has a large following in the Park City and his delegation of root- ers usually accompany him on the trips he makes about the state with frequent visits to New York where giory is won and ignominy comes in a night, In his most recent fight, Keeley put it all over Bill Delaney, reported to be one of the best in the heavyweight class, and his praises have been sung throughout New York for his aggressiveness and clever method of handling himselfsin the ring. Italian Jack Herman will start in training as soon as arrangements have been completed and figures to be in good shape when the milling starts. His prowess in the ring is being gen- | erally recognized around these parts, end interest in him is growing apace overy day, Is a Tough Bird According to reports, no tougher opponent cowld be secured for the Italian than the Bridgeport mauler who stepped all around Louis Bogash, Bridgeport welterwelght when the two met,, He has had a spectacular carcer in the ring and has a large number of victories to his eredit. Although | not a' topnotcher, he is considered a tough opponent for Itallan Jack de- spite the latters 20 victories in 36 starts. This latest announcement by the promoters of the Hardware City A, C will attract sports followers from all | will greet both fighters when lhcyl step up to swap punches. Guaran- tees will be given both fighters so that a good milling will be the answer t¢ the last fiasco which was held between the so-called heavyweights in Hart. ford and with Herman and Keeiey doing their stuff, a good show should ensue. z Feller Needs a Friend ) AL HAD To PAY FULL 1 ToLd HIM Down IN THE SEBAT N'T SCo0CH FAR AND THE CONDUCTOR PAY TWo DPOLLARS AND Ten CENTS MORE NIGHT LEAGUE | Wild Cats Win and So Do | Spark Plugs and San Toys —Local Athletes Enter Statewide Tournament.

The Spark Plugs continue their winning streak, having met and de- featéd every team in the league twice to date and are now entering the last and final round of the series in the Saturday afternoon league fully de- termined to go through the season without experiencing a single defeat, The Aces lost to the Spark Plugs in Saturday's game after a hard bat- tle, The Spark Plugs compared to the other teams, seem slow, and their pass work is not quite as spectacular but in spite of these necessary assets they seem to fipd the baskets when- ever a point is needed. Harry Gins. berg played a remarkable game Sat- urday, holding down the guard posi- tion. His height and long reach time and again stopped the ball in mid-air from entering the basket, Wallin's aggressiveness at right for- ward coupled with excellent judge- ment of distance found the hoop for seven tallles for the Spagkies, Lewitt and Dehm for the Aces played their positions well at guard with John- stone, Loomis and Jjohnson the prin- ciple scorers for the team. In the sccond game the Ramblers outplayed and outpassed the fast San Toy team, leading at the close of the first half 10 to 6. Tack of team work, poor passing and basket shoot- ing on part of the San Toys resulted in only six points scored during the first period, Kalgren, Willlams and Kron proved a combination hard to solve, all three with their fast foot work dribbling and ability to find holeg in their opponents line kept the Ban Toys on the ragged edge all durs ing the first stanza.
