WM Speaking of Sports The Girls' Industrial league bas- ketball games continue to draw rec- ord crowds every Friday evening at the Y. W. C. A. gymnasium. Valeria Slysz and Jennie Biam-!k played the best floor games in the contests last night both being on ths floor most of the time. Captain Madeline Mascolo of the Corbin Screw team fs now the league’s leading scorer with 18 points in three games. Manager Clarence Lanpher of the National Guards has secured t} Browning Big Five of Brookly 7 an attraction for Saturday, ebruary 26, in place of the Wash- ington Palace Five whose showing here has been postponed until March 17, The Brooklyn team is.a classy combination which has defeated some of the leading teams in this state. On its roster are the stars of New York colleges and in bring- ing them to this city, the local manager is giving the fans of New | seeing this Britain the opportunity of the absolutely best teams in section in action. Another attraction which th Natlonal Guards will meet in thi city some time in’the near future is the Harlem Negro team known as the Renaissance Five. This team is a professional ouffit which holds victories over some of the best teams in the country including the Celtics, rated as world champions. It is possible- that another home and home series with the Meriden Endees will be played before the season ¢omes to a close. The teams stand one and one in victories. The Meriden team beat the Guards at the state armory Wednesday night but by agreement. of the managers, the result does not count in figur- ing up for the state title. Next week will be a full week for sports in this city with basketball, wrestling and amateur boxing hold- Ing the limelight. Bat Battalino will be the fea- ture on next week’s card. He will be matched, it possible, with Frank Moore who quickly disposed of Jack | Brophy of New York in last night's tournament. With two hard hitters such as these two, there is sure to be plenty of action.

More than 100 were injured and 200 are homeless in the various sec- tions. Property damage is estim eq at well over $200,000. The prop- erty damage was comparatively low, lue to the fact that the storm struc! ardest in isolated farmlng sections. At Pleasant Hill, La., simple rites were held yesterda: or seven of the nine members of the Ashby fam- ily. The bodies were buried in one grave. Residents of the section said the family had been picked up bodily and thrown across the road, where the bodies were discovered later.

Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 19 (P—Jim- my Maloney's victory over Jack De- laney at New York last night placed him with Jack Sharkey and Jack Dempsey as the three leading con- tenders for the heavyweight crown, | in the opinion of Gene Tunney, King of that division. The champion reiterated his will- ingness to meet any one of the threa or any other opponent who may win Tex Rickard's approval in the pro- posed championship fight in Septem- her under the New York promoter's | decision. Tunney picked Maloney to beat Delaney largely because of the zht disparity and he believes that Sharkey will defeat Mike McTigue in their coming bout for the same rea- son, he said today. Tunney is appearing in vaudeville here. GAME IS POSTPONED The championship game be- tween the South church and Trade school in the County “Y" has been postponed from next Thursday because of inability to sccure the Boys' club floor during the coming weck.
