Speaking of Sports The National Guards suffered two .casualties in the game at the state armory Saturday night, one when Joe Jasper broke his little finger and the other when Mert Taylor had his left eye cut in a fall. Both injuries were sustained in a game that was lacking in thrills and ‘was exceedingly free from roughness. Jasper started to dribble when he stumbled and fell, breaking the finger on hitting the floor. Taylor jumped after the ball and fell, hit- his head on the floor. Taylor's injury will not keep him from the game, it is thought, though Jasper will be out for some time with his finger. The unfortunate accident to Jas- per has put a blight on the hopes of )thu P, & F. Corbin team in the In- dustrial league of beating the Russ- rwn‘flve tomorrow night. Jasper is one of the mainstays of the team land the lineup will be weakened | ‘considerably with him out of the 'game. His place will probably be taken by Dick Gorman. The game Saturday night was de- void of thrills and was uninterest- ng from a spectator’s standpoint. he Elmwood team Is fair, but oesn’t qualify above that. The anager of the team had a ques- tlonah!e trick played on him by Hraitis, formerly of the Dixles of Btarttora. Girgitis was to have appeared Mith the Endees in the game in this kity Saturday night but he ran out bn the team and instead, played Mith the Washington Collegians, komposed of Dumschott, Carroll, Sheehy and others fn Waterbury. This put the Elmwood manager I a hole for a real strong team and {s Interest in the game was not so ot. He Is one of the finest visiting bcorekeepers we have met and he kppreclated the fact that the team | vhich represented his club on the oor put up a fairly good battle, The Guards will have to travel at Lap specd in the game next Satur- ay night against the City College lub of New York. The locals beat his team last year but will meet a Btronger combination this eeason. Manager Clarence Lanpher has a tring of hard games on the sched- le of the National Guards. He has Pontracted for the City College club t New York for next Saturday night n this city. His team plays the rooklyn A. C. in Waterbury very Boon. The Fitton A. C. of Boston s due to appear here on a Wednes- ay night while the Greenpoint, L. I., Bve will also appear in this ciiy. However, the game that the fans bt this city have heen awaiting will be played at the state armory a voek from Wednesday night. At hat time, the Meriden Endees will | :lech the Guards on the state armory oor in this city. Since the locals bncountered the quintet in Merlden ast week, the fans of this city have been demanding that the team be brought here. New Britain will be n fine shape for the Silver City Ruintet, us they will have a lot of oney backers at the game. The polo situation in this city re- matns at the same place where it has been since the American league as opened in Connecticut. There n't a hall in the city that is avail- | Bble for the game with the excep-| ton of the state armory and until| he board of control votes to throw bpen the armories for the playing of he game, there Will be no team in | bhis city. Both Ed Dailey and Denny M- | fahon appeared at the meeting of | eague officials in Meriden yesterday nd put in a bid for a franchise for | his city. McMahon withdrew his ecause he stated that negotiations | or a hall here’ had fallen through. | Ed Dailey stated that he had all in view and was hopeful of se- | uring 1t within a few days. Just| \where this is, is a question that Datley 1s silent on. Ed has in mind | he state armory if the vote i Emss«‘.d to allow the hall to be used | or roller polo. | | 1t is understood that if the armory | becomes aval leity. This isn’t definite though thas been thoroughly discussed private circles. INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE Russell & Erwin and P, & F. Cor-| it | in ‘ hin To Furnish Feature in Tues- | day Night Play. | The New Britain Industrial bas- | ketball league will resume play aft-| er the Christmas holidays tomorrow night in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium | with two good games on the pro. gram. The feature contest is ex- ‘pected to be the clash between the Russell & Erwin five and the P. & . Corbin quintet. The first game 'of the night will be between the New Britain Machine and Corbin Scrow teams. The R. & E. team is by far the| favorlte in tomorrow night's contest| following the injury received by Joe ‘Jasper while playing with the Na- tional Guards at the state armory Saturday night. Jasper received a broken finger when he fell and will| !probably be out of the game for a week or ‘more. The R. & E. team will present its strongest lineup in the game and will probably remain in a tie for| first place with the Corbin Serew team which should come through y against the cellar champs, the| New Britain Machine quintet. Both | contests will he refereed by Dick Dillon, The first will start prompt Iy at § o'clock and the second will foifow imo diately afterwards.

The advisability of turning over the college bowl for profession- al bascball purposes brought opin- fons from the trustees, while vet- eran baseball men discussed the feasibility of a third league and the | stadium as a baseball park. Members of the board of trus- tee were generally without infor- mation of the proposal, as it has never been submitted to the board as a whole, but many of the thirty evidenced an attitude of “listen- ing” to any offer which might bene- fit the university in a monetary way without hindering the college's use of the structure. One took an op- posite view, declaring that use of the stadium for professional baseball should not even be considered. Another trustee, as well as a num- ber of baseball men, who know the dimensions of the stadium, asserted its playing field was entirely too smadl for the diamond sport. Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburgh club of the National League, said he had no knowledge of the project and “less interest.” Charles (Deacon) Philippe hero of the first word series of the Pir- ates more than 20 years ago, was among those who said they did not see §ow a third league could pay because of the enormous initial ex; pense. The third league interests offered | $2,100,000 for the stadium, it was | said by the trustee who gave out; word of the offer. The answer given | he sald, was it the New Yorkers| would put the proposal in writing it | would be submitted to the board of | trustees. This was several months | ago, according to the trustee, who | said nothing more had been heard | from the promoters one of whom | was said to be “Tex" Rickard. | FIGHTS LAST NIGHT | | By The ted Pross.
