At tomorrow night’'s amateur tournament at the etate armory, Abe Bodine of Hartford, one of the hardest punchers in the amateur racket in the state, will be seen in action in support of the Sturino- Howard go. The box oftice at the armory to- morrow night will be epened at 6:30 o'clock sharp. Over 500 of the paste-hoards have been sold already in Hartford and that means a sell- out of the house. Fans in this city should purchase thelr tickets before tomorrow night. A Hartford man called up this morning to ask if it was true that private individuals in this city were building a big baseball park. We regretfully stated that it it was so, then we ‘weren't in on the secret. ‘This rumor crops out every year at this same time. For the benefit of those who did; not read closely about the games played at the benefit for Tim Cronin at the state armeory last night, we repeat that the outcome in the con- tests, by agreement of all concerned Lefore last night, has no bearing on the standing of the teams regarding the state title. The National Guards will play the mwood Endecs in Elmwood to- night. The fans M this city are hoping that the team will come through to offset the argument being used in Bristol anent the state cham- plonship, that the National Guards are solely a home-floor team. To dats the Guards, not counting lust night's game, have played 23 games. Of these, the local club has won 17 and lost six. The Guards won two out-of-town zames, one from the Bristol Endees in Dristol and the other from the St. Joseph's T. A, B, team of Water- Lury. In the losses suffered out-of-town the Guards have only five that will count against them {in 'the state title rockoning. That is because of the game in Plainfleld which was play- d under professional rules, This cannot be counted against any team in the running for the state cham- pionship because basketball in Con- necticut is generally played under imateur rules. The flve games lost out of town 0] to the Bristol Indees, the PBrooklyn A. C., Middletown, the Atlas and Meriden IEndees. Three of these games were just barely lost while one of them was a bad beat- ing and the other a loss by a 39 to 26 margin. Bristol beat New Britain 39 to 26. ‘The Brooklyn A. C. beat New Brit ain 42 to 24, The Meriden Endeet beat the Guards 19 to 17. Middle- town beat New Britaln 24 to A The Atlas beat New Britain 22 to 20. This record will compare favor- ably with any team in the state, far as Dristol is concerned, itain has scored two victo that team, one here and one the By agreement between the two man agers. a series of five games will be | played. Manager Joa Swadock of the Meriden Eagles issues a challenge to the State Trade school team of this cify for a basketball game. He can be reached by addressing his mail to the Merlden Morning ord, BROTHERS INJURED AS AUTO RUNS THEH DOWN Albert Meyers Arrested for Evasion After Accident on Turnpike In Meriden. Charged with evading responsibil- ity after an accident, Albert Meyers of 146 Greenwood street, this city, wasg arraigned in police Meriden today, having been arrested about 1 o’clock this morning at his hams by Sergeant Patrick A. Mc- Avay and Officer Thomas Tierney. The case was continued until March According to the Meriden police, Meyers was driving an automobile on North Colony road, near the Berlin- Meriden line, when it struck John| Passig, aged 40, and his brother, Carl Passig, aged 28, as they were walk- ing home from work about 6:45 last evening. The men live on North Colony road and were walking on the gravel pathway, the younger man be- front of the other, when the , traveling north, struck and then his brother and dragged 1 feet. There was a question as to juris- diction because of the proximity to the Berlin line with the result that the local police were not notified un- til late last night. An automobile registration number led to the arrest of Meyers. John Passig sustained a fracture of the wrist and brulses about the face and le His brothcr suffered fractures of two ribs. Their injuries are painful and of a nature that pre- vented them from appearing in court today.

Rumors of “investigations” and dire injury to Maloney, coupled with a last minute rush of thousands of fans for tickets that do not exist, contributed confusion to the situa- tion. At Madison Square Garden, Tex Rickard wrestled with the prob- lem of finding room in an arena that seats 18,000 for the 100,000 fans besleging him for tickets. Odds on the bout were juggled about in Wall street when Maloney was reported to have injured his ‘rlgh! hand in the final day of train. |ing at Long Beach, N. J., when the | report reached the outskirts of fan- dom, the Boston giant had a “'broken finally Rickard himself hastily call- | ed the camp to find if Maloney ha “broken his arm jn several places. | The report was false. Despite the refu of the boxing commissién to investigate the ticket sale at Rickard's request, speculators were reported on the streets with pasteboards available at fancy quo- tations. Prices for $22 ringside seats were sald to be bringing an average of $110 apiece in groups and as high as $150 for a single ticket. Investigation rumors reached the height with the report that inspe tors of the United States internal { revenue department had been assign- ed to each ticket office in the Broad- way district with orders to gather evidence of ticket sales above $50 margin allowed by law. This report could not be verified. With the ticket sales creating a sit- uation unparalleled in local boxing annals and ceeding in even the Demp: unney cham- pionship match last fall, boxing fans took a final look at the betting odds and disgorged predictions.

For the smiling Boston Irishman, {a slugging machine of 200 pounds ringside, has caught the interest of the metropolitan cnthusiasts with a bruising style of milling that has overwhelmed his last three op- ponents here. The picturesque D | laney, perfect ringman with a cool | defense and tricky resourceful of- fense that includes one of the most powerful right hands in fisticuffs already had captured public fancy in his parade through the light heavyweights. Weighing in around | 175, he crushed Bud Gorman | consin heavyweight, in two rounds in | his principal clash with a big man. | Apparently the | unprecedented interest in a match not of championship impor comes from the records of the fight- | ers themselves. Delaney, one of the most graceful and accqmplished pe formers the ring has cver seen, h proven conclusively his ability to box and hit. The flashing Irench-Ca- nadian i3 a proven sharpshooter, with ability to drive his fists through tho slightest of openings with un- canny rapidity. The Boston strong boy, minus the { arace of his antagonist, still has re- markable speed for a big man, a cut- ting left hand, and a smashing right drive to the body with either fists { The fans in the street without al- tempting to pick the winner, still ar¢ villing to wager even money thut someone will be knocked out before the fight has gone three-quarters of the scheduled distance.
