Speaking of Sports of Bobby Wallace, conqueror Louis (Kid) Kaplan, has been forced to *cancel his first Connecticut ap- pearance because of an attack of in- fluenza. He was to have met a lead- ing lightweight in the S8ilver City either at the end of this month or the beginning of next. His manager, however, has notified Leo Bradley, AMeriden promoter, that the Silver City will have first call of Connectl- cut cities on the services of the ("leveland mauler. The National A. C., of Newark, N. J., is arranging for another wrestling tournament in this city. ldward Lavrow, representative of the club visited New Britain yester- day and after looking the city aver, found that the only hall available for this month was the Turner hall on Arch street. He contracted for the ball for February 23, Wednesday night and will bring an ensemble of the world's leading wrestlers here on that date. This same athietic club saged a wrestling show at Jester's hall on Arch street last March. In this ex- hibition, Stanislaus Zbyszko, dubny, the glan Russian, Hussane, “The Terrible Turk,” Carol Zbyszko and others, appeared. This year the National A C. plans to come to New Britain to stay. That is the reason for the early start. The first card has not yet been arranged but one of the headliners will see Wiladek Zbyszko wrestling some other nationally known matman. Wrestling is a new sport for New Britain, comparatively speaking, and if the National A. C. carries out its plans of holding the shows every two weeks, the greatest grapplers in the world will be seen in action. AMr. Lavrow represents a combina- tions of sportsmen who have been conducting wrestling shows all over the ecountry. The biggest and best men in the game show under the auspices of the National A. C., and New Britain is in for an excellent line of wrestling shows, starting with fhe first on Wednesday, February 23, at Turner hall. Touls (K1d) Kaplan has been forced to call off his imminent bouts because of illness. He has been seized with an attack of the “fiu” and will be unable to carry out comtracts for appearances on the Pacific coast. Kaplan was on the road to meet McLarnen, Pacific coast lightweight champlon and this bout was consid- ered one of the most important he would have engaged in, in some time. McLarnen is the favorite in Cali- fornia to take Sammy Mandell's title away from him and is a big figure in the boxing world in that section of the country. The race for the state basketball title is tightening up following games of recent weeks. The Meri- den Endees who stand onse and one with the National Guards of this city, during the past week, tumbled the Atlas A. C., of New Haven by one point in Meriden. This puts the Silver City group back in the run- ning for the state title bacause at the present time the Atlas are the unknown quantity in state circles. Jack Delaney is reportad to be stronger and more rugged than ever for his bout with Jimmy Maloney of Boston at Madison Square Gar- den in New York next Friday night. Jack has been working out in hi Bridgeport gymnasium and looks t be perfect in all physlcal lines. His greatest drawback in past years has been his frailness but he is gfllningl in strength and weight all the time, Maloney will be the toughest con- tender Jack has met in years and although Delaney is the favorite to win, there are many who figure that Malonay will take him. a heavyweight, a fast man and 8 hard puncher with either hand. It should be a great bout. The amateur boxing tournaments will be resumed at the state armory this coming Friday night and Bat Battalino, state featherweight cham- pion, will be among the entries, it is thought. Battalino is more impres- sive than ever in the ring folldwing his knockout victory over the Can- adian in Hartford Thursday night. Matchmaker J. J. Whaler of the Mohawk A. C. Is planning on a trip to New York to secure another team to come here this week. Fans in this city would like a return bont between Joe Howard and Joe Stur- ino, the New Yorker whom Howard put away in the tournament here last week. Tt is hardly likely that these two would duplicate their sensation of that night because those things hap- pen only once in a great while. With caterplllars reported out at Cheshire, signs of spring are mors abundant every day. Pansles have heen growing in Meriden and down Cheshire way and all these signs are considered a very good sign that spring 1s not far away. The best sign and one that makes spring just around the corner iy fle report that Stevie Dudack has taken his haseball shoes out of the aftic and has been dusting them off again, Any time that Steve starts this work his uncanny intuition announces to the world that spring 1Isn't far away. PANS BRANCH RICKEY “Branch Rickey will have con- snderable to do with managir§ the Cardinals this summer,” says Rogers Hornsby, and adds, ‘“the club has never been very success- ful under such a regime.” WHAT ABOUT ALEX? It is feared Grover Alaxander will not be as valuable to the St. Louls Cardinals under O'Farrell as he was under Hornsby, whoe seemed to un- derstand theroughly how to get the best results from the rather temper- amental Alex. | Pod- | Maloney is| Jam Leonard Laskewitch Goldblatt M.

Rogers Hornsby, who left a job and $100,000 worth of St. Louis Cardinals to come to New York for $40,000 & year, says that the Glants are going to win the pennant. So, as Jack Hendricks, the ches- terfield of the Cincinnati Reds, says —"What's the use to play it out.” Cobb, after slgning the contract offered him by Connie Mack confided in friends that he would have join- ed the Athletics even if he had been offered less money than the Athle- tica could pay. “I picked the team I think is going to win the pennant as I want to finish my career in another world series,” Cobb said. So he apparent- ly thinks that the A's. are in. Hornsby didn't have any choice in coming to the Giants. He was given passage from 5t. Louis and he had to go to McGraw or nowhere. “Wh; is it that I prefer the Glants?” he asked. “It's good money I'm getting and there's a cut of the world series dough coming.” Although there is the mere matter of 154 games and the Yankees and the Indians between the Athletics | and the pennant and the same long stretch for the Cardinals and the Reds and the Pirates and the Cubs in front of the Giants, the two clubs are the most strengthened in the two | leagues. Fighters are notorlously poor as pickers of winners and the judgment | of Cobb and Hornsby will not cause | a change of Philadelphia and 'New York money on the winter books but | they look like good shots. | Since he stuck his head out of the | second division last September, Me- | Graw has strengthened the Giants by the addition of Rogers Hornsby, Eddie Roush, Billy Grimes, George Harper, Bevo Le Bourveau and Al Devormer. Perhaps some of them | look like bargains but Hornsby, Roush and Grimes would strengthen any ball club. McGraw, according to intimations | coming from the offices of the| Giants, is not through trading yet | and he may deal for an experienced catcher. He has more outflelders than two teama could use and they ara all about the fair grade. The Brooklyn club has more first | string catchers than can be worked | and it would not be a surprise if Mc- Grade made a trade with Robinson for either Henline, O'Nell or Har- | greaves. The only weakness on the Giant | club apparent to the naked eye is be. | hind the bat and McGraw, who seems | to be desperately intent for another | pennant, hardly will start the season | with the hole back of the plate. | There is a question about the, pitching staff—but mention one staff | that is beyond question. Connie Mack, failing several times by a nose with a young team that blew up in the pinch, decided to get some age and experience for the Athletics, and he proceeded to sign | up Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins and Zach Wheat. He also paid a lot of money for Joe Boley, a shortstop from the Bal- timore Internationals and for Dud- | ley Branom, a young first baseman from the Kansas American associa- first base. Smart baseball men admit the strength of tha Athletics but they caution—there are too many mana- gers on the club—Mack, Gleason, Cobb and Collins and & rookie on | first base.” The Glants and the Athletics do | Golden e i e D A Can You Think of the Good Old Days When— ——————————————— “Sim" Stabert, playing In the line for the Mohawks, charged so fiece- ly in a close game that he was barely able to stand when the final whistle blew, but five minutes be- fore the close of the game he re- fused to go out when called?
