Speaking of Sports A pecullar situation has arisen in Meriden over the signing of Haf- ner, leading back court star on the Dixle team of Hartford, The Meriden Endecs, with whem Haf- ner appeared for the first time last Faturday night, will play the Dixles at the state armory in Meriden Saturday night and thereby hangs the tale on which the dispute rests. Hafuer is in & quandary which team he will play with, He hus made Lis namo as a member of the Dixie quintet and yet, since things have not been going well with the Hartford squad, Hafner signed with the Meriden crew on a provisional agreement that he would play at all times except when the Dixles are playing. as to Whatever the decislon wil hasketball fandom ean depend on it that Jack Curry, the gulding spirit of the Meriden five and Man- ager Tredo of the Hartford crew will be abla to agree on which team the star will play. Maybe he will play one-half with the Dixies and the other with the Endecs, Curry has stated that the only reason he didn't sign up Hafner be- fore this time was because he did not want to appear as a player snatcher, Hafner states that he would rather play with the Tn- dees than with the Dixles, but this leaves the question up in the air. Tt is a certain bet that Tredo will want Hafner while Curry will want Nim just as bad. The fans who attended the Indus. trial league gamnes at the Y, M. C. A. last night were treated to at least one of the best and most exciting ¢ontests of the year, This was stag- ed between the Fafnir quintet, sole occupants of second place and the Stanley Rule & Level quintet. During the first half of the game, the Rula shop team played rings around the Fafnir quintet and led at half time by a score of 15 to 6. This lead was so great that the Fafnir crew had to extend itself to the ab- =olute limit to pull the game out of the fire and retain its standing in second place, The manner in which the teams are speeding up the play in the league, bodes {ll for the P, & F. Cor- bin quintet which is sitting pretty in first place, although the Corbin team looks good to win the league. The quintets are staging a merry battle for second honors and at the present time, the margin by which Fafnlr stays in the lead is slight. The attendance the Tndustrial leaguo games has been so small that a meeting of the managers was call- ed Monday night to discuss tho prospects. 1t was decided to carry on the lcague in hopes that the at. tendanes would at least pay ex- penses, T ast n John § 4 betng ville would get st 2Dt Works team ye gervices of r gnard.

Miss Myers is the world’s champion wom- an pocket billiardist and Concannon won the world's titlc in a tourna. ment last year, Basketball players are sometimes in doubt as to the number of times out their team takes during a game, There is one rule in the book which fs not generally known but which piays an important part in this question. When "time out” s called, 20 scconds are allowed for a substitution before the time {3 counted. In case of an injury to a player, however, the “time out” is charged to the team unless a sub- st{tution is made within two min- ut On the Alleys CASINO BOWLING ALLEYS Weatman G, Puppell Dummy Atbancse Sinto 400 41§ Basketbally, SRR e) [ 1 i Anastoslo Chant Middlet Westman' Dummy COMMERCIAL, BOWLING ALLEYS INTER-CHURCH LEAGUE Blue Arm; [ 12 Relner Meado Ensworth Mitchell Howarth When a player gets hurt and [Trustow time is called, should he got back into the game again, the time out is charged.
