Details of the game are remembered | without refreshment to the mental organe, At half time the Dixles led 18 to 11 but at they close they were ahead 44 to 27, having given New Britain one of the worst heatings of the year. Hope springs ever eternal in the human breast and basketball play- ers are nothing if not human. So tonight they hope not only to win one game from the Dixies, but also to properly avenge themselves for their two defeats. All the hoys are repched as feeling fit and as they bave had an easy week, with but one game there’s no reason why | they should be accusad of “too much | basketball.” The usual lineup will be presented, The Dixies will bring their regular lincup and while Captain Tommy Murphy may not play the entire game, there is a possibility that he will take the floor for a time.

Shot after shot was dropped in by the FEmerald sharp shooters and at mid- time they led by the comfortable margin of 21.5, Capt. Link being the only one to break through the strong defense of the green. The Emeralds started from where they had left off and proceeded to run up a large score. Saunders and Cascy ran wild and swished the netting with great regularity. With time waning the Sokols be- gan a last desperate attack and led by Link who sunk four sensatlonal double deckers from mid-court they came within striking distance of the green. This was only momentary as the Casey-Saunders combination put on full steam and put the game on ice.

New York, March 28.—An Olym- pie champion and his greatest rival, who was unable to compete in the international games of 1920 and 1924, will settle the question of world tities tonight. Ugo Frigerio of Iltaly, Europe's best, and Willie Plant, America's champion, will face each other in a 10,000-metre walking contest, the distance at which Frigerio earned his laurels, For six years the little Itallan was unbeaten. Then Plant came into his track life and he lost three successive races, Phil Gran- ville of Canada captured two others from him. Frigerio has made his reputation in the outdoors but has announced that he will not remain for cinder- path competition in the United States this summer. He has planned to sail for Italy on April 11. Again the question of Frigerio's walking style has arisen, but Plant «aid yesterday that if the judges be- lieved the Italian had walked fn proper form in a score of races, there ean be no criticlsm at this late day.
