Speaking of Sports Although the newly formed Con- nceticut Basketball League board of directors decided at a meeting last night to have two champion- ship teams, one for the first round and the other for the second round, tc play a secries after the league schedule is over for the state title, iliere were a number of other im- purtant items discussed without any srmal vote being taken on them. The league managers are decid- “ that the entrance fee will be 3300 and the rules committee of | which Clarence Lanpher is one sember and Manager Joseph Car- roll ot the Bristol IEndees is an- other, will report back to the league i1t the next hearing which will be Leld in three weeks from last night. | | Certain fines will be levied on | the teams for use of ineligible play- or< and other infractions of the vules and the concensus of opinion | is that these fines will be paid to | ihe team against whom the ineligi- | il playesr are used or against vhom the rules infractions work. No decision has been reached on ihe player limit except to place the jninimum number at seven. The lcague will probably compromise on a player limit of elght men. No player will be allowed to change from one team to the other.

BROADWAY OFFICE RUM FIGHT FATAL Division of Spoils Results in Bootlegger's Death New York, May 17 P—A dispute over division of bootleg spoils today was believed by police to have caus- ed the pistol battle between eight or nine men in a Broadway office building in which one man was killed and another wounded. The shooting threw occupants of the bullding into an uproar and caused considerable excitement among Broadway crowds. Police have arrested George Ko- mar, 28, bookkeeper for Leon Tarr, restaurant owner, in whode office at Broadway and 31st street the shoot- ing occurred. Komar was charged with homicide. Police said he told several conflicting stories. The dead man was identified by finger prints as Abraham Rubénstein, 30, with a police record. A traffic patrolman attracted by the screams of a stenographer in an adjoining office found the office locked and vacant except for Ru- benstein's body. He also discovered traces of blood in an adjoining; room. Komar, police said. told them cight or nine men entered the office Games Yesterday New York 6, Deetroit 2. Philadelphia 10, St. Louis 2.
