> > e gSpeakina ; ‘of Sports In commenting on Saturday night's game it must be sald that Harttord West Sides are a mighty #weet basketball machine, They need fear nobody in their home ball- fwick, not even the much touted Difhes, I'ast floor workers, good passers and dead shots, the West Sides gave the local fans the hest treat of the season Saturday night. And had not Harmon Smith been compelled to leave the game with an infjured eye it s safe to say that the Nats would have had an even harder time to win, Smith was the scoring ace for the \West Siders, getting eleven of their points, Mert Tavler was the locala' with 25 of his team's 47 points, And the 13 points he made in the first halt were all that kept the locals within rapping district of the West Eldes' door. The crowd gave Paul LaHar a| rreat ovation when he put the locals | in the lead and the dark halred vouth leaped back into his told time favor with the fans when he drop- ped in two more fleld goals and made good on two fouls, Johnny Sheekan dil some remark- | ably fie gnarding when ho held the brilliant Cummings o four baskets, and of these but one in the last half Two of these Johnny check-mated with two of I Kildnft and work in two from eir also did fine down Murphy to while Carrington cqual ive in keeping * Reynolids covered f e | ol e two | B loing some guard- ing. | b | There is one glaring criticism of | the locul fans, and that is their at- fitude visiting er is «ho ‘aturday night on ved and haoted until the walls falrly trembled while a Hartford man was trying to This i3 res T sportsmansiip, a his free | litions and | und to gt o thatuialt shot under favo Laoting on 2 mAan's nerves Prabably 11 bt hom the referee | 1 does not ry silence shooting fouls. v it while the visitors are We all like to &e» New Britain | win, but we want them to win fairly | and squarely t nnder condt tions that give the opponents the!

BALLOONS Wi AT VOLLEY BALL six rounds on Tuesday, Otherwlise there are tew fistic features for the Metropolis this week, The national indeor champdon- ships will be played on the sewenth roglment armory courts on March 58, the late date being necessary if the country's best players are to participate. Vincent Richards, win. ner of the thres.year trophy by his victory in 1924, will be plawng In the Florida tournaments up %o that time, A new trophy will be offered at the coming champlonships. ‘The fate of several champlonships will come before the annua} meects ing of the United States Polo asso- ciation In New York tomorrow. Among the events to be discussed are. the Intercolleglate outdoar chams plonship, the national apen and junior In the national twelve goal title affairs, The question of handi- caps also will receive comsideration. Stories of difficulties encountered by the Finnish running star, Paavo Nurmi, in his recent thrae-hour visit to Chicago are drifting out of his training camp. Nurmi, it is sald, wag unable to bathe after his suc- cessful battle against Jole Ray on Friday night as he found it necessary to race for a train. Moreover, the Meials delayed the feature race seve minutes with Nurmi ready to «rt, according to the Finn's friends, or Tommy Devine among nmmmun'l(ohrla. [T other activities is a close fallower of sporting events and was one of those “close up” when his old friend Jack Britton tought Benny Leonard. Principally becanse of his observa- tions on that evening, Tommy has been a bit spaktical abowt the Jight- weight champ’'s ability to keep up his winning stride, Devine was pleased when he learned Benny was willlng to swap ‘om with Mickey Walker, conqueror of Jack Britton and who recently zave Mike McTigue a few pointers. ’ Ly But, when Leonard announced h was petiring from the ring, and ex plained his s prompted by jove of his moth: 4 in compli- ance with her wishes, Tommy #milcl from ear to ear. “Retiring for love of his motser, is he,” says Tom, *“well, somepne should send him a nice, big piggure oi Mickey Walker, and with it a , ‘hera’s YOUR mama'.” Offhand, we would be prampted to say Tommy is a bit skepfical as to what cansed Benny's retigement.
