wumw Speaking ¢ of Sports i TICTETITIIPIICTIIIITIIETY Last night's basketball game be- tween the Corbin Screw and Landers | quintets in the New Britain Indus- | trial Leagus was the best battle of the entire season in the opinion of those who witnessed the struggle. The Corbin Screw team came through in good shape to win, but| it was a team that knew it had been in a bitter batile, e | “Two Point” Adams, alias Abram- | ovicz, is “two-point” lo longer after last night. He got into the game between the Stanley Works and the Stanley Rule and upset the dope | bucket by caging three goals. The Stanley Rule team provided a sensation in foul shooting last night when it was awarded just two free tries. One of them was made and the other was missed. Foul shooting is more and more important. In the Corbin Screw-! Landers game last night we find! that the Corbin team had 12 shots | and made two of them while Land- | ers had 16 shots and made eight. | The final score of the game was 30 | to 28. Had both teams made all of | their foa! shots, Tanders would have | won by the score of 54 to 52. Many | a garac has been won or lost by foul hcoting. i The greatest upset of the year | took place last night at the Y. M. C. A. when the doubles handball team compcsed of Charley Hawkins 1d Sammy Mag took on the Y championship teaun of Unterspan and Drossel and beat them two straight games. The first geme went to the winners by a 21 to 6 score and the | sccond by a 21 to 17 score. Hawiins and Mag have thrown down the gauntlet to all comers in doubles now and stand ready at any time to mect any and all teams. A special challenge has been issued by the pair to the Warner Brothers of Mariden with the warning that the Sitver City bo on the short end of the scoro in the meeting.

The appropriation for educational purposes is almost as great as that government and because of the mu! tiple agencies to be supported it has been found difficult in the past to budget all and avold an overdraft ‘Mr. King and his colleagues hav been able to keep within monthly allowances so far and unless unfore- seen emergencies appear no defi- clency appropriation will be requir- ed, the school committee head as- serts. Because of the amount required to keep traffic open in last month's storms the funds of the board 6f public works have been drawn upon | heavily and an overdraft now seems a certainty.

To safe- guard his voice is his constant aim. His favorite among cigarettes is Lucky Strikes, both for finer flavor and throat protection. Lucky Strikes have become the favorites of men whose priceless voices thrill their audiences, as they have with the millions because, first, they afford greater enjoyment and second, they are certain not to irritate even the most sensi- tive throat. The world’s finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, prop- erly aged, perfectly blended, give them their richer flavor. But inaddition, a costly extra process—toasting for 4§ min- utes—develops the hidden flavors of the choicest tobaccos and at the same time removes all “bite” and harshness. Smoke Lucky Strikes.
