Speaking of Sports Jimmy Murphy, manager ®f the Btanley Rule & Level basketball team let us in on the secret as to ‘why it is that he got only one basket 80 far this season, last night at the Y. M. C. A. 1t isn’t because he doesn’t want to get more, it's because they don’t pass the ball to him. Be- lieve that one and he'll tell another. Nevertheless, “Tedders” Kilduff let us in on one about Murphy in a basketball game several years back when the K. of C. league was in full bloom in this section of the stat This instance goes to show that al- though a man might get only one basket, that one might win a game. It was when the New Britain team was playing the Atlas five in New Haven that Murphy furnished the thrills. The Atlas were leading by two points, the game was almost over. In desperation, Kilduff threw one from the far end of the court and the ball went through the hoop to tie the score. . Then with four seconds to go, Murphy blazed one from clear out in the “batk yard” We know that those who read this will say that it sounds like fiction, but it is true that the ball was rung up for a hoop and the game was won by New Britain. So, Murphy is probably saving his next basket until the next situation like that of a few years ago in New Haven, comes along. Nom Begley appeared in a state of excitement this morning such as we never beheld him in before and the reason for it was that his Spring & | Buckley basketball team beat the Connectjeut Electric Light & Power quintet last fight at the State Trade £chool gymnasium by the score of 18 to 8. 3 Graham Spring, Lew Forker, Francls Begley and Nom himself starred for the winners. There were no serious casualties on either side. It was a battle of battles and the ginging umpire, Francis Sheehan, held the whistle. According to all, all he did was hold it, so few were the fouls that were called. This, according to Vincent Kiernan at the Electric Co. office, is the first time in the last 26 and a half years that a team from Spring & Buckley has trimmed an athletic outfit from the C. L. & P. Co. Kiernan stated this morning that basketball with his crew was only a pastime serving to keep his athletes in trim during the long winter months. The long suit of the C. L. & P. Co. is baseball as plaved with the playground sphere. Spring is just around the corner and that is the reason for the athletic workouts by the West Main street boys. v . The sensation of the indoor hoxing season takes place Friday night at Madison Square Garden in New York when Jack Delaney, Bridgeport, meets Jimmy Maloney of Boston. Both camps are saying that their representative will win. Friday night will tell. We lean more with De- laney than we do with Maloney though we haven't broached an opinion on the outcome of the bout. The reason is that we haven't seen Maloney in action and don’t know just what he can do. We do know that Delaney is about as nice as anyone we have ever seen in the ring, but whether Ma- loney's extra weight will make any difference or mot, remains to be seen. Without the weight question, Delancy is, in our opinion, superior to Maloney, but 25 pounds is a big | handicap for any fighter to over- come, Tommy Loughran is making a strong bid to become a logical con- tender for Jack Delancy's light heavyweight crown. Last night he beat Johnny Risko. “Kid” Kaplan has drawn a 30- v suspension from Rochester be- he was forced on account of to cancel a fight in that cit He will be unable to enter the ri it is thought, much before 30 more | days, though he is recuperating from his recent severe attack of the Johnny Crock, state amateur lightweight champion of Meriden, is sending in an application for the Mohawk A. C. tournament I Ly night and he will probably be matched in one of the houts. John- ny is in good condition and remains that way. His appearance, if he is | matched, will be his first in New DBritain. He cares not who his opponent will be. All he wants is to fight. He has a large following of backers in !} Meriden who will ch his work in this city with avid interest and many there are, who will bank on him to win no matter who fights ‘flu.” | BRISTOL ENDEES CLASH WITH ATLAS Brace of Games to Be Played on Friday and Saturday Dristol, Feb. 15.—One of the choice basketball tid-bits of the sea- son is carded for this week when pionship,—the Bristol New Depart- ures and Atlas five, of New Haven, are slated to hook up in a pair of games. The first of these tilts is scheduled for Music Hall, New Haven on Friday night while the second will take place at the Bristol High school gym Saturday evening. Last year these two:clubs fought it out for the state championship and the Bearing Makers came through on top only after the stiffest kind of a battle. Four games were played and DBristol emerged tri- umphant in three of these, none of which was determined by over a margin of four points. This season the Atlas quintet has been stepping along in impressive fashion and is determined to win back the crown which the New De- partures carried away last season. | The Jewish club received setbac |last week at the hands of the Meri- den Endees and the New Britain Guards, but previously scored two decisions over the Silver City court- sters and one over the Hardware City hoopsters. The Bristolites, with a ecolorful combination, have also been stepping along at a fast clip and have been bowling over all other would-be con- tenders with clock-like regularit On Saturday evening they chalked up their seventeenth victory—continuing a winning streak and has remained intact despite the efforts of such clubs as the St Joseph's Tabs, All-Middletown, New Britain National Endees, the Brooklyn A. C., and Woodbury Endees. The Guards of wins over Bristol in a series of five games. Two more are to be played. Billy Coyle, prominent Wallingford eleventh man on the floor in both contests, The Atlas will present a powerful lneup, including Sammy Pite, for- mer Yale star, Grorge Gubers Mickey Botwinik, Shrimp Mush Hurwitz, Zeke Chadys, George Greenberg, Benny Witkin, Sam Guy and Art Kravit Last year's champions will counter with such well-known performers as Jimmy Malcolm, Kisky Feldman, Jiges Donoghue, Ray Marchinc Jim Manning, Dutch Leonard and Steg Zetarski.
