i S.pea'king of Sports A quartet of amateur boxers from this city is scheduled to appear in & tournament at Windsor Locks to- night. Johnny Clinch leads the local team and the other members are Frank Cugno, Mike Cavellone and Dominic Frisco. These four will also appear as the features of the amateur boxing tournament to be staged in Bristol Triday night. - Jimmy- (Red) Reynolds, veteran of last year's National Guard cham- pionship basketball quintet, has been signed as a member of the Hartford Yankees, according to an announce- ment by Manager Frank Tredo to- day. Reynolds will alternate at for. ward with “Babe” Hurley and Tommy Murphy. “Kisky" Feldman, Jimmy Mal. colm’s running mate for many, many years, is reported about to sign on the dotted line again with the Bristol Endees, It is said that “Kisky” has come to an agroement with Manager Joe Carroll and if he can secure his release from the manager of the Hartford Yankees, he will again pair up with the Bris- tol speed king at forward. There 1s a possibility that Ruben- stein, forward on the New Britain team up top week ago, might re- turn to New Britain. “Ruby” was a spectator at the New Britain-Atlas game last Saturday night and he was certainly itching to get into the game, He certainly would have will entertain the other six clubs. The list of training camps: - Natiemal Bosten—8t. Petorsburg, Fla. Philadelphia—Winter Haven, Fla. American League New York—#t. Petersburg, Fla. Philadelphia—Fort Myers, Fla.

Nothing has been |Mik done either by “Ruby” or Manager Lanpher towards a reconciliation, but the feeling is In the air. The New Britain team will prac- tice Wednesday night in prepara- tion for the game Saturday with the Mohawks of Holyoke. 1i there is anything the team nceds, it is prac- tice and a little better morale. Many are of the opinion that all under the surface is not right among the mem- bers of the squad and that the harmony which characterized the quintet the first part of the year docs not exist at the present time. Although none of this is apparent to close observess of the team, ager Lanpher intends to find out what {s wrong. Vith a set of play- ors such as New' Britain has, men |4 who have been tried through thick and thin and have shown that they can play basketball, it isn’t & ques- tion of trying them out. Tt is a mat- ter of finding out what is wrong and nothing can disrupt a team like 111 feeling. According to the local manager's statement today, the tcam will have to show something Baturday night or the axe is liable to fall and re- placements made in the makeup of the team, The New York Celtics, recognized as champions of the world, will probably be signed to play here on some Wednesday night in the near future. Many years have passed since the New York team has made its appearance in this city. The team is scheduled to play in Hart- ford in the near future and Man- ager Lanpher plans to talk terms with the manager. Manager 8id XKramer of the Renaissance Five, when approached about a game with New Britain, talked box-car figures. He not only wanted an éktraordinary guarantee but he wanted the Stanley Arena with the bleachers thrown in. Need- less to say, telephone numbers in basketball are out of place. The Renaissance Five might be seen here again this season and again, they might not be. Cash and Carry Pyle is & back number now that Kramer is in the managing bpsiness. Since the first game with the Renaissance Five here, New Britain fans have seen just as good games 28 the one between New Britain and the Harlan team. The appearance of the negro five here would certain- Iy be a good attraction but is not a necessity for the life of basketball |3etnntngs Simmony 414—1216 T4— 229 Hausman 6 Goglin Clark Pete ..

The intention of the ordinance committee is to re- quire that annual licenses be lssued for basketball, baseball, football, rol- ler hockey, boxing, wrestling and all other games, with the provision that event that conditions arise neces- sitating it. Councliman Harry N. Robertson, chairman of the license committee, was agreeable to having a proposed ordinance prepared for action at a later meeting. The ordinance committee went on record in favor of an ordinance to permit the playing of roller hockey in New Britain on Sunday between the hours of 2 and 6 p. m. There was no opposition to the proposed Judge William F. Man- gan told the committee he believed | the playing of rpller hockey games Sunday afternoofis would harm no- body. He made it plain that he was not before the committee as an at- torney representing any interests, 205 | but as a citizen interested in sports. Roller hockey is clean and orderly, he said, and entirely fit for women and children to witness. He has ob- served many of the older residents | present at the games he has attend- | ed, and he believes they would ap- | preciate the opportunity of attending Sunday games as they would not be | obliged to be away ¢rom their homes at night. Patrick J. McInerney ot Beaver | ternoon sport. He said football | is allowed Sunday afternoons and he knew of no reason why there should | be any opposition to roller hockey. Councilman Samuel Sablotsky said he is a regular attendant at the games and he wa# strongly in favor of Sunday sports. He made the point that church services would not | be interfered with in any way, be- | cause the games would be played between.2 and 6 p. m. Manager Frank P. McDonough of the New Britain team in the American league, assured the committee that the Sun- day games would be conducted in a manner that would leave no room for criticism, and in reply to a ques- tion by Alderman D. L. Nhir, he said there would be no increase in prices for Sunday games. Councilman Bartlett asked Judge Mapgan if he thought the same class of people as attend the evening games would patronize Sunday games and Judge Mangan replied affirmatively. Some of the ‘“best people” in the city aro patrons of the game, Judge Mangan said, On motion of Councilman Boyle, second- ed by Councilman Bartlett, it was voted to recommend that the or- dinancg be adopted. Secretary James Sayers of the Mo- hawk A. C. of Hartford and Vice- president Edward J. Hurley of the! A. A. U., wore quizzed at some length relative to the conduct of amateur boxing exhibitions in this city, the club having petitions for a reduction in the license fee from §25 to $10. Councilman Bablotsky inquired the reason for stating in the petition that the prices were 50 and 75 cents,| when as a matter of fact, §1.15 has been charged. Mr. Sayers replicd that the club has decided to charge 75 cents for all scats, doing away with 50 cent and §1.15 seats. Coun- cilman Sablotsky” criticized the club for failing to have all the boxers appear who were advertised. Mr. Bayers geplied that it is impossible to prevent the failure of boxers to appear when the club is notified of injuries at the last moment. Councilman W. 8. Warner asked Mr. Hurley to define an “amateur,” and Mr. Hurley replied that the A. A. U. classes as an amateur a boxer who competes for the love of the sport recciving only trophies, such as medals, watches, silverware and Gther prizes. Councifman Warner| asked whether or not it was possible i d This necessitates changes in the bill. No actlion was taken because of the decision to recommend supervision of all sports. HOLYOKE MOHAWKS SIGNED FOR GAME Gonquerors of Renaissance Five to Meet New Britain Team There will be no state league bas- ketball game'in this city Saturday night but®s an attraction, one prob- ably as good as any state league quintet, Manager Clarence Lanpher last night signed the Mohawks of Holyoke to appear against the New Britain team at the Stanley Arena. The Mohawks only last week hand- ed the Renaissance Five of New York, colored champions of the world, & setback, The visiting quintet holds the unique position of being one of the best basketball combinations inthe Bay State. It has played as a unit together for a number of years and its lineup contains the names of sev- cral players who have come to the fore as -basketball stars. The two Cassidy brothers, Frank and James, will occupy the forward positions on the quintet here Satur- y night. Both have appeared in this city on numerous occasions and they form a speedy pair. Jerry Con- v, who is the mainstay of the Meriden Endees, will jump center. MHe has an advantage over opposing pivot men in that he is taller and his W expericnce in basketball throughout the country has made him an invaluable player with any team. The guard positions are cov- :red by Graeber and Torno, two strict guardians of opposing for- wards. Although the New Dritain lineup isn't set yet, a decision on the start- ing players will be made after a practice session Wednesday night. er Lanpher expressed himself fied wilh the games and he has ordered his play- ers to “snap out of the slump.’ Two games remain to be played in 'the state league and the second round will start nest week.

This will wind up the first half of the league and all the teams will gird themselves for thoe long grind to come in the second haff, FIGHTS LAST NIGHT By the. Associated Press.

READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS FOR BEST RESULTS WINORS DEGIDE T0 LET DRAFT ALONE Rescind Action Taken at Recent Meeting at Dallas Chicago, Jan. 10 (A—Another budding revolt over the baseball draft methods of the major leagues has been scotched, with the minor leaguers again acknowledging that the major hold the whip hand in 'lhe baseball player market. Delegates representing the 24 or- ganized minor leaguers veted yester- day to rescind their Dallas resolution and permit the draft situation to run along just as it has for the past seven years, and as it will continue during the Wcumbency of Commis- their new resolution. The five minors, International, Pa- cific Coast and Three Eye Leagues, and American and-8outhern Assocta- tions, won their fight—with the backing of the major leagues—to continue the modified draft. No player, under this modification, can be drafted from the five clubs unless he,came down from a major league club, The minors also rescinded another attempt to hamper the majors in their draft methods, by changing a rule which would have allowed the minors to keep a ‘“farmed, out" player for a year before his recall, The aim of the minors in tlelr Dallas action, It was understood, was to in majors to send their rookic. u. .. to some of the leagues but the majors maintained that their youngsters received a quicker polish by playing in faster company, and it would take tco iong for them to de- velop in the small circuits. ‘With their retraction on file, the minors got down to business sessions today en some complaints and ad- justments accumulated since the Dallas meeting. ASH SHARKEY T0 PROVE CONDITION Boston Sailor Must Be in Proper " Physical Shape for Bout New York, Jan. 10 (UP)—Jack Sharkey of Boston is due here today to answer two of the most import- ant questions now agitating the world of boxing. Iirst, the New York state athletic commission wants to know whether the big Lithuanian is in proper physical condition for his scheduled bout with Tom Heeney next Friday night. Second, the fans want to know whether Sharkey can whip the New Zealander and thus establish himself the most “logical” of Gene Tun- 's prospective opponents for [ 1928, With differences between Tex kard and Gene Tunney finally noothed out, and agreement reach- cd that the heavyweight champion can fight twice this year provided he does so under Rickard's direction, the Sharkey-Heeney fight, now only three days away, looms as the most important of the winter. Sharkey, who came bombastically to town to met the ‘*old hollow shell,” Jack Dempsey, last year, now has lost most of his bombast, and comes from Boston in a rather apologetic frame of mind. The Lithuanian must first con- vince the local boxing authorities that he is in first class shape for the \Heency bout. Then he must give |the rugged antipodean a first class |beating to establish himself once |more in the front rank of “logical” contenders. | The chances are that Sharkey's |chastened frame of mind will mili- tate strongly in his favor in the Heeney bout. The Lithuanian lost to Dempsey |at the Yankee Stadium last July solely through stupid over-confi- |dence. He probably would be over- | confident of whipping the New Zea- [1ander if he had not received a stern Ri sioner Landis, under the terms of| l ot lower classification than the five, | weight champion left today for Dover Hall, Brunswick, Georgia, where he will do some hunting be- fore going to Miami Beach to start light training. Tunney was assured before he left that his differences with Tex Rickard were ended, and that the first §100,- 000 of the title holder's guarantee for his next defense of the cham- pionship would be deposited by the promoter before February 1. CONNIE MAGK T0 TRY NEW WRINKLE Will Announce Team Ouly Alter: All Have Signed Contracts | Philadelphla, Jan. 10 (P—Connle | Mack, sagacious manager of the | Philadélphia Athletics, is going to try a new wrinkle this year in sign- ing up his players for the 1928 pen- nant dash. When the complete crew has returned signed contracts, Mack will tell the world, but until then he will keep playing roster locked up in the safe. “No more issuing ©f names of signed players in homeopathic doses,” sald Mack today. “We are going to be dumb until all hands have sent in the papers.” The sage of Shibe park pointed out that if by the middle of January {fiifteen players were announced as | signing contracts, it would be easy to figure out those who had not sign- {ed. 'Then the fans would begin to | bother Mr. Mack by demanding to ! know why this player or that player | was not under contract, a question that sometimes causes embarrass- ment, For many years the Athletic club has had its entire roster under con- tract before the majority of other { major league outfits. Last year every man was signed long befote the first detachment was headed for the training grounds at I'ort Myers, Fla. Mack, it was learned today, has about abandoned hope of signing Ty Cobb for 1928. If he had Sunday baseball, he said, he could afford it, but the Athletics are not in a posi- tion to pay $60,000 or anything like that sum to Ty for another season. Much depends on the other clubs. It they don't raise Mack's offer, Cobb probably. will be back, and Mack is hopeful that this will be the case. If he returns to the Mackmen he will be posted in center field from the beginning and Al Simmons switched to left. Waltery French, Ossie Orwoll and Bing Miller, again in the athletic fold, will fight it out for the post in right. Lebourveau and Hass are two other gardeners who are to be given a thorough trial. ‘b | - Young doctors in England now can raise capital to buy themsclves practices through a new insurance plan. SCHAEFER LEADS Billiard Champion His Slight. Edge Over Welker Cochran as Third Block Starts. ‘ New York, Jan. 10 (UP)—Young Jake Schaefer held a slight lead over | Welker Cochran when play was started today in the third block of their 3,600 point 18.1 balkline bil- liard match. The score as the start of the third | block was. Schaefer 600; Cochran 508. ! After assuming a commanding lead | in the first block, Schaefer slumped | in the second block last night and | almost lost his lead to Cochran. It took Schacfer 14 innings to com- plete the 600 points for the first two blocks, and in four of these innings he went scoreless. Adthough the match is billed fgr the world's supremacy, the winnér will not be offi recognized as world's champion. Plans are underway to hold an 18.1 balkline billiard at the completion of th:“-r:;”'nh the winner to be crownéd world's champion. Willile Hoppe, Eric Hagenlacher, Educard Horemans, Cochran and Bchasfer probably will enter the tournament.
