Speaking | of Sports| Those Dixle Speed”Boys dldn't ap- pear quite so speedy. Saturday night. They may have had an oft night, but they didn't show up in the same class with New Britain, i D Babcock has severed his relations with the New Britain club. The for- mer Suffield star has been going stale all seasop and realizes that he his not been doing himself justice since the early games. . Football? ‘What? Yes! The first game of 1924 in this section of the country was played in Meriden yester. day when the Pawnees defeated the New Britain Owls 12 to 0. Restelli showed up well Saturday night.and his playing should strength- en the locals considerably. The New Britain team goes to Hartford tomorrow night to try and wipe out the defeat handed them by the Kaceys. The Falcons will play in Bristol on Friday night, the game being sched- uled for the Red Men’s hall. Dundee has been guaranteed $15,000 for his fight in Panama City with Lombardo, the unknown boxer, Although the game with 8t. Thom- as was not a good test, nevertheless the high school basketball team show- ed up well Baturday. ‘We suppose it's perfectly proper to refer to bithivg girls in the films as comic strip artists. Despite the fact that Tilden has led the tennis players for four straight years, his friends insist he has a very bright future. McGraw bought a minor league phenom the other day and paid only $60,000 for him. *** The phenom should demand an apology. These amateur athletes would prob- ably get along a whole lot better if they'd join the American Iederation of Labor, Among those who think Charley Paddock should be barred are the mugs who'll have to face him in the 100-yard dash. The erudite Mr, Benny Leonard writes that the wickedness of stage life is grossly exaggerated. .*** Oh well, we all have our little disappoint- ments, 8o far as most of the wrestlers who come from that country are con- cerned, the Turkish bath is purely an American institution, It appears that Tex Rickard instead of sugaring the New York politicians simply told them to lump it, Mr, Rickard is sald to be an honest guy and if this is so of course he has no business in the prize fight racket. Very often in baseball a player doesy’t become valuable until he has been shunted around to a number of clubs, There is the case of First Baseman George Burns of the Boston Red Sox, Burns was originally a member of the Detroit Tigers. After being earried for several years and falling to win a regular berth, Hughey Jen- nings, then managing Detrolt, sent Burns to Philadelphia. Later Conniec Mack handed him over to Cleveland in a trade. A few years with Cleveland and Burns was sent to the Boston Red Sox for “Stuffy” Mclnnis. MecTInnis failed to eome through for Cleveland and now Speaker is angling for the player who was one of three sent to Boston. Incidental- 1y, it is said the St. Louis Browns are bidding for Burns, in case Bisler is again unable to play. JERONE DIES AFTER BOUT WITH TAYLOR (Continued From Preceding Page) performed. “Well, boys,” the boxer said, guess this is my last fight.” The operation apparently was a suc- cess and his friends left the hospital, only his wife and his manager being with him when he died. Rickard was surprised to learn of the death and remarked that it was the first of a boxer who had engaged in a fight promoted by him. The promoter said he did not think the fatality would have any serious efiect on proposals 8f new legislation regulating the sport. BEAR CATS GAIN “INY. BASKETBALL (Continued from Preceding Page) point to the good. This rématkable come-back after a disdstirous show- ing in the first period threw a scare into the Ramblers. In fact they “blew-up’ 'and the San Toys with the game in their grasp olit manoeuvered out-gliessed and ran eircled saround their opponénts, they never onee, were threatened or headed after the first spurt. “Bearcat” Nelson, after a misgrable showing it the first half, came right back and with unperring eye caged the necessary points to win the ganfe. Bwanson and Recanno materially assisted in the scoring for the San Toys. ———— First Gante, Spark-plugs. Goals Fouls Ttl. Goals Fouls Ttl. Kaminicky, L. F. ... Wallin, B. F. Nelson, C. .....

Saturday Night League, The Pawnees threw a scare into the Wild Cats S8aturday night in hold- ing them down to only five baskets the first half and then went after them in the second stanza hammer and tongs, only losing the game by six points. Richmann, Buckeri and Olson starred for the Pawneces with Firnhaber feeding the ball to Riche mann enabling that wopthy individual scoring seven points of the total of fourteen for his team, Olson, Baros and Floden covered themselves with glory the way they shot the hoep from all anglés of the floor, The Bear Cats made good their threat of the previous weel that they would come buck and even up things for the set-back they suffered last Saturday., They trimmed the Cubs good and proper, scoring 42 points to thelr opponents 17. Ingrahah and Fogelson could not miss the basket. Each got scven flledd goals respecs tively, Larson of the Bear Cats also tallled four fleld and one free try. Urban, Nordgren and Morse scored the most polnts for the Cubs, Mar- don and Batinski played hard and well for the Cubs, Though the Cubs were beaten they gave a good account of themselves, forcing their opponents to travel at top speed to win the match, Summary: First Game.

Eagles Score First The game started off fast and there were four minutes of scrimmaging before the first tally was made. Then Schultz got loose under the Falcons' basket and hooked in a net swisher that counted two.
