Speak:ng of Sports Another. benefit hu been started in Hartford for Tim Cronin, one of the state’s leading basketball play- ers, by the team which was former- ly the Dixies. The Elmwood Endees and Battey’s Crescents will take part and another team of like caliber will also play .The games will be staged in Hartford either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. With the notification that the Meriden Insilcos would take part in the basketball carnival in this city on February 16, plans for the benefit to be staged at the state armory in this city were completed yesterday afternoon, Two games will be played on the night in question, one between the Natlonal Guards and the Meriden Endees and the other between the Meriden Insilcos and the Bristol Endees. To make the benefit more volun- tary, Willlam F. Dobson, proprietor of the Paragon on the West Hartford road, notified Manager Clarence Lanpher that he wished to donate the orchestra which he uses at the dance hall, for the night. This band, led by John L. Sullivan, is a favorite with the dancing public and will make the affair a complete one. In the rest periods and the in- terims between the games, the Dunn-Nally Trio of Hartford, lead- ing entertaining organization in that clty, will perform for the fans. This service is also voluntary and has been donated by the Hartford boys, all of whom are close friends of the stricken basketball player. It is hoped by all those interested in the coming benefit that a good sum will be realized from the two games. Cronin is critically ill with a complication of diseases and is un- able to care for his wife and three children. In the meantime his father has been carrying the double burden of | furnishing him with proper medical | care and of supporting his children. The oldest child is eight years and the youngest a yvear and a half. A trust fund will be created of the money secured through the two games in this city and Mr. Cronin senior, will be made the trustee. This will ensure the fact that the money is being used rightly for the bene- fit of the man for whom it is given. Admirable response has been had | on every sido and every bit of it has | been voluntary since the news leaked, | L out that Cronin had been seized with®| a serious fillness. His condition Jal considercd hopeless by his physician |7 and he wil be unabie to support hm- self while he lives. Every agency or person who will | take a part in making the benefit a success, has come forward volun- | tarily and offered whatever he or| she could do to help swell the total of money to be collected through the benefit. | The first movement was made by | Manager Clarence Lanpher of the Natfonal Guards. He got in touch | with Manager Jack Curry of the | Meriden Endces and these two agreed to have their teams play in this city on February 16. Then, wi out solicitation, the Bristol L]ndw‘sv\- offered their services for the bene. fit and yesterday the Meriden Insil- cos came forward. In the meantime, the Dunn-Nally Trio of Hartford offered their serv- ices and then Mr. Dobson of the Paragon offered to furnish the or- chestra. State laws forbid the use of the state armory for any individual's benefit but Manager Clarence Lan- pher has arranged to pay the full rental for the armory for the night of the benefit. Besides these offers, Harry Gins- | burg, as soon as news of the propos- ed benefit was started, offered to | h- | WITH THE BOWLERS BOGERS ALLEYS SPECIAL MATCH New Britain Girls 100— 283 94— 261 86— 242 91— 253 264 Lynch Schults Burkarth Linn Scharft 474—1303 90— 86— 87— 87— 271 85— 209 249 258 245 Nrs._Jones R.

Dominick Soccoll, representing the Elmore Billiard Parlors in the state | pocket billlard championship tour- nament, took a step nearer the top last night at Neil Murphy's Main street billiard center, when he beat Joe Deno of Meriden by the score of 100 to 72. The match was a nip and tuck af- fair until near the finish. Deno was leading 72 to 64 when Soccoli let loose and hit a brilliant stride. He clicked off an unfinished run of 36 to win the match. Soccoli had high runs of 36, 19 and 16, while Deno had clusters of 19, 16 and 16. BEST BASERUNNER.
