Stanley Rule Wins The Stanley Rule-New Bri Machine game was a dull affair with neither side showing anything in the line of basketball. The Machine five showed poor form last night after coming along in great style in th past few weeks. In the first half, th losing team got a sfngle fleld basket while the Rulers lost many oppor- tunities to score. The score at the rest period stood 17 to 2 in favor of the Rulers.

Navin, of Detroit. Detailing events at the meet- ing last Sunday in Chicago, which resulted in Johnson's relief from ac- tive control of the league's affairs, Griffith said as the participants ‘en- tered the conference room “Mr. Johnson shook hands &ll =round rather perfunctorily and then ap- parently drifted off in a coma.” In the past, Griffith pointed out, Johnson had heen a “fighter” but at Chicago he “scemed to pay mo at- tention to what was going on or what was said about ‘him.” “We previously had agreed,” he continued, “to demand his resigna- tion as American league president, and when our spokesman started his speech and saw Mr. Johnson prac- tically helpless in his chatr, he sud- denly sat down, not having the heart to continue. | ““We realized for the first time just |how 1l our president was and re- | quested Mr. Killilea, his attorney, to take him from the room while we held a discussion.

The matter then was taken up with Commissioner | | Landis, who also did nat want to| |take any action which might malke | President Johnson suffer a Telapse, and he agreed that our vacation | | suggestion was a good one and im-| | mediately cancelled the meeting he| had called for the following day.” Griffith said there was little | | chance for Washington to get Tris | 8peaker, but added he ‘would be| | “mighty .glad to get him if Landis| | declares him eligible as a player.” BRITISH CRAMPTO | HAVE TOUGH TEST George McKenzie Meets Bobby, Garcia in Waterbury Friday | Waterbury, Jan. 26.—George M- | Kenzie, featherweight champion of | The former national women's golf | Championship in the fifth round of 2| New Britain will be making his first | queen has changed e United States|her play in 1927 will be watched ord-breaking number of appearance in the when he climbs into the ring with| Bobby Garcia for the main bout of | the boxing card to be staged in the | - | Phoenix avenue armory Friday might ! a4 Phoenix A. | of golfing grace and skill than to|inating committee McKenzie is making his Yankee see this slim young lady step out/States Lawn Tenvis association an- by the newly organ C. debut in Waterbury because of the | e personal friendship existing | of New York, and Ed Curley, | matchmaker for the new local bo ¢! ing club.

C., unable to ‘bring the New York amateur boxing team to this clty for the weekly tournament Friday night because of towrnaments which will be on in the metropolis Thursday night, has pre- pared another excellent card which will feature the Holyoke team aguinst Conmecticut’s leading simon- pures. From the entries recetved, Ray Hall and Charles Anderson will be the headliners. Hall, the knock- out king who has put 40 of them to sleep, will meet a tough scrapper in Anderson from the Eim City. They will fight at 140 pounds. Ray Strong, bantamweight cham- plon of the state, will make his flest appearance in the ring in this city, meeting either Joe Cote of this city or Johnny Mastro of Hartferd in the 118-pound class. So exciting was the bout between Johnny Clinch and Pancho Villa last week that it ap- pears that these two will be matched again at 138 pounds because both have entered for the tournament. Among the Holyoke boys who will appear on the card is Buster Nadue, who fought here earlier in the sea- son. Nadue is known as the minia- ture “Harry Greb,” having a wind- mill style like the late champion, and he made a great impression on the fans in his first appearance here. He will have no “soft snap” because he will meet Joe Traino of New Haven, who has entered in the 112- pound class. Three bouts in the heavyweight ctass will feature the card, also bringing three of Holyoke's best heavyweights against thres Connec- ticut scrappers. In the 170-pound class, Eddie Provost of Holyoke, who made a lasting impression on New Britain fans in his last appearance here, will meet Eddie Skinner or ‘Walter Walters, both of New Haven. In the 163-pound class, Walter Krass, another Holyoke sensation, will probably be paired with Tony Bellisimo of Hartford, who won over Andy Mack of Hartford last week after nearly being put to sleep. In the 160-pound class, Al Gordon, one of the best amateurs in Massa- chusetts, will meet George Beasley ot New Haven, a crack heavy in the Connecticut ranks. Another bout which seems assure: will bring Ar- mand Masse of Holyoke, together with Andy Murray of New Haven in the 118-pound class. Besides these entries, Matchmaker J. J. Whaler has received entries from Abe Bodine and Barney Youse- man, and these two will be matched up with scrappers either;tomorrow or Thllrsda}", GAME IS CANCELLED e Contest Between Collegiate Prep of New Haven and New Britain High repiled: | Called Off, New York welterweight had been offered a return mateh with Cham- pion Pete Latso, of Ecranton, Pa., to be held in Chicago in February. | Latzo won from Levine on & foul in four rounds last July in defense of his title fn New York.
