Speaking of Sports Following the inauguration Governor John H. Trumbull in Hart- ford yesterday, polo fans in this city | and all through the state can expect | to have the board of control over the state armories meet pretty soon to decide whether the armories can be used for playing surfaces or not. All the members of the board were scheduled to meet in Hartford yes- tcrday at the exercises and efforts were to be made to have the mem- iers get together this week or next to discuss this subject, all-important to the polo fans. It the board is to throw open the iate buildings for the popular sport, ien it will have to do §o soon as tho season ends on April 1 and con- derable time will be consumed in getting ready. held up before January 15, as far as city s concarned, polo won't be ved here until next year. T | One of the early telephone calls we recelved this morning was from Manager Clarence Lanpher of the National Guards. Following the ex- pression of a rumor last night in these columne, he was the object of tha congratulations of all the boys | along the stem. He denies the al- Iagation therein expressed and says he enjoys single blessedness tow much to think of changing. Another zood story “shot”. The amateur fights will sumed in this city tomorrow night at the state armory on Arch street. The card which has been planned from the entries received appears to he the best that has been put on in this city. . Paul Terzo was scheduled to meet Ray Hall tomorrow night but ho re- ports that he hasn't had just enough time to train and get in readine: for the bout. ity to meet Hall despite the fact that Hall knocked him out in 52 &econds in their last meetjag. be re- Terzo is suffering from a slight njured hand and this has decided him to postpone his attempt until the next show. This palr will be matched soon, however. Among the basketball fans of the the meeting of the National Guards with the Atlas of New Haven seems to be one of the interesting mes on the schedule. The contest in the Meriden Endees scheduled for next Wednesday night in this city. Manager Joe Carroll of the Bristol New Departures is seeking to ar- vange the dates for the three re- waining games on the schedule be- tween the Guards and the Bristol ndees. The teams have met twice but according to the agreement be- | tween the two managers, a series of games was to be played. The \tes will have to be next month, as the schedule is all filled out for the tocal team. Never before to our knowledge has | m had such an imposing | a local tes schedule as the National Guards face during this month. That with Plainficld at the state armory Satur- day night, Meriden the following Wednesday, two games with the Atlas, Middletown, the Fitton A. C. of Boston, the Greenpoint L. I. team and others, the Guards are in far the busines session of their young lives and every player will have to | be on his toes to keep going. The Guards are well fitted out with combinations. At forwards, there are Sloman and Taylor, Sloman or Rubenstein or Taylor and Ruben- steln, all capable players. Reynolds has been holding down the center position to perfection thig sea- son. In the back court, “Tedders” Kilduft, “Snowshoes” Sheehan and “‘Butsy” Sturm form a trio of guards that 1s hard to beat. After seeing all these men in ac- | tion in the various games, one has to belleve that no matter how the com- binations work, they are all good. at one time and since then has been | afrald to jump in the pivoting po- sition. He reversed himself and went in at forw where he plays A super-efficient game. One good feature about the tional Guards this season Is morale shown by all the members of the team. big drawbacks of the quintet was the petty bickerings indulged in by the players during the course of a sca- son. This has all disappeared and in its place has come the ambition of the local boys to win every game, it possible. The team faces a tough schedule with the fans of this city solidly be- nind them. The work of the players in the games here has been such at with only two losses credited against them, the Guards have be- ome the greatest drawing card in the state. cord crowds will be out to see games during the coming week overheard one of the old-time red hot fans of 25 years ago, saying that he was going to see the Guards play Meriden next Wednesday night. This gentleman was a hot rooter in the days of “Burt” Loomis, “Sprd” O'Donnell, Clark and the others who held sway on the courts under the management of Charlie Barrett and the repeated succesces of the New Britain team over opponents has stirred that latent interest again.
