Speaking of Sports Hugh (Red) Rorty, well known roller hickey arbiter| last week lost a small watch charm somewhers be- tween the Stanley Arena and his home in Hartford. The charm was in the form of a small baseball made of ivory and of the color of meer- schaum. A thorough search of the places where he was at the time be- tween this city and Hartford failed tc reveal it and he is of the opin- ion that he lost it between the Stan- ley botel and Beloin Garage. The charm was given to him 13 years ago by Harry Johnson, fa- mous and colorful baseball umpire as a token of friendship. The trinket was given to Johnson, known to many as “Steamboat Harry,” by friends in observance of a day named in his honor and because Iorty admired it, Johnson prescnted it to hifi as a memento of him and his friendship. The loss of the charm has been, Keenly felt by Mr. Rorty and if any- cne in this city has found it, nothing would be more pleasing to the fa- mous umpire than to receive it back again. its value is small except for the sentiment connected with it by Mr. Rorty and it would be a gra- cious act on the part of the. finder 1o return it to its owfer, Talking of Harry Johnson, Rorty related a tale that makes a good haseball story. Johnson has a whisk broom which he is able to hold in the palm of his hand. He has had it cver -since he started umpiring, many years ago. This is the subject of many jobes by the players. In one game, Johnson happened to call a runner out for leaving third base before a fly ball was caught. The fly was hit very close to the right field foul line. The runner left DELANEY T0LB 10 GET REPUTATION Rickard Fals s Warm p to Boat for Brigeport ack New York, Jan. 8 (UP)—For a {man who has just invested $60,000 of a {rhnd's money in 175 pounds of prize fighter, little Jos Jacobs is having his troubles Having bought Jack Delaney of Bridgeport for what constitutes a record price for light heavywelghts, Joe was anxious to start right in and realise upon the investment. ‘When a fight manager reaches that frame of mind—as most of them do, most of the time—the next step i{s around the corner to Tex Rickard's office in 43th street.

HUGGINS T0 ADD N NEW PLAYERS N Neol Som 1o Sirengthen Lineup of New York Yankoes New York, Jan 3 (®—It looks | like a prosperous New Year for Miller Huggins' well known hired hands—and a tough one for the rest of the -American league. The Huggins no presents in the shape 3:35 3:45 45 probably because it was rather ge erally knewn that he had enough stock on hand to last him one more season at least. Since the Yankees swept through the American league to a cham- pionship last fall and then dusted off the Pittsburgh Pirates in four | straight games to prove their right BOYS' CLUB WINS | SLOW ENGDUNTER Torrington Alpines Defentod— Reserves Win Filth Straight | A lay-off of two weeks slowed up | the Boys' club basketball team but | it had enough left to defeat the Tor- rington Alpines by 34-27 in a slow game at the local club last night ‘The boys appeared tired and seemed to be showing the effects of New Year's sleeplessness, lacking their usual pep and dash and going through the game in a mechanical fashion. The off night cams, luckily, against an inferier team and th club never lost the lead which it as- sumed in the first minute of play. This lead materialised on foul tosses by Goffa and Kley and then Goffa made the first fleld goal of the game.

In the| to top baseball ranking, Huggins’ negotiations to add ‘“strength” to his club have been met with a part of rival managers.

Reserves Defeat Arrows The Boys' Club Reserves defeated the Arrow for thesecond time this year when they took the preliminary, but whereas the first game between them had been a battle this oae was a slaughter and went to the Reserves by 44-26. In the first quarter the winners ran up 18 points and led by 28-8 at the half. The Arrows re- sorted to long shots in the second halt and outscored the Reserves by two points but they never came close enough to be counted in the game. It was the Reserves' fifth straight victory. The Reserve showed som- pretty passing, with Zujko and Mirigliani leading the attack from the floor and doing some excellent work from the 15-foot strip. Between them they made 10 out of 14 tries. Marholin did some pretty shooting from afield. Milewski and Charlow scored most for the Arrows.
